Chapter 549 Follow Zhang Shuai and kill the thief

Zhang Cheng galloped up on his horse, and a few light arrows shot at him from a distance, and he didn't even hide. This may be the crushing of strength.

Wearing fine armor, even if a few light arrows hit him, he was still unharmed. With his left hand, he let go of the reins of the horse, and pulled out a pistol from his waist.

At this time, Chen De was also controlling the horse with his legs. He freed his hands to draw a bow and set an arrow, and quickly aimed at a horse thief in front of him, but he didn't shoot the arrow immediately.

It's not that the distance is not enough, it's just that when the horse is galloping and leaping, his body is unstable, and he feels unsure, so he wants to aim more accurately. After all, the emperor's arrow is the most critical, affecting his mood afterwards.

"Oh!"

Only then did Zhang Cheng hear the sound of the bowstring snapping, followed by a "whoosh", a cold light passed by Zhang Cheng's side, and shot straight at the back of a horse thief who was running away on horseback.

"Good archery!" Zhang Cheng rode his horse and praised loudly.

Just now he took the initiative to bet with Chen De, in fact, he just wanted to stimulate him, so that Chen De could fight for the lead, and he could also observe from the sidelines how brave this young general who is said to be able to shoot the blind king Li Zicheng is.

But it was not easy for him to release the water directly, so he immediately urged his horse to run wildly, and saw a thief in the north walking side by side with him, and the distance between them should be less than forty steps.

Zhang Cheng kicked the horse's belly with both legs, and the horse galloped even more vigorously under the pain. Zhang Cheng raised his left hand and placed the pistol on his right arm, aiming at the horse thief and hugged him.

"Bang!" came out, and in the flash of fireworks, a lead bullet shot out from the muzzle, hitting half of the horse thief's face.

A bloody hole immediately appeared on the half of the horse thief's head, he didn't even groan, he fell sideways and fell off the horse, and at the same time that the thief fell off the horse, a bloody arrow shot into the sky.

…………

Zhang Cheng and Chen De had long been separated, and Chen De was afraid that Zhang Cheng would make a mistake, so he specially ordered Baiqi, the commander-in-chief of the sentry, to accompany him to protect him. Did you check the number for me?"

Xie Junyou himself led more than 100 horse thieves straight to the west, but under the interception of Zhang Cheng and Chen De, he had no chance to turn south to find the chief thief Liu Zongmin.

And the hundred cavalry thieves rushing to the northwest did not slow down the speed of Zhang Guangda's troops. The cavalry leader of the heavy cavalry department had already rushed over to fight him.

Since the whistle of this horse thief was the first to persuade Xie Junyou to break out of the siege, how could he engage in battle with the officers and soldiers? I saw him shouting orders to command dozens of horsemen to meet the rushing army of officers, while he himself led the remaining dozens of horsemen He rode his horse and fled desperately to the wilderness to the west, so he didn't care about Xie Junyou.

It's too late to say this, but the changes on the battlefield are extremely fast. After only a few rendezvous, more than half of the more than 800 cavalry troops lying on the ground here, and nearly a hundred horse thieves were thrown into their hands directly. The weapon, just grab it without a fight.

The horse thieves around Xie Junyou also reduced from more than 150 riders to only about [-] riders and followed him all the way to the west. Although they tried to break out of the encirclement to the south twice, they failed and lost more than [-] riders.

At this moment, Xie Junyou also seemed to realize that if he ran like this, he would eventually be chased and killed by the officers and soldiers behind him, and he hurriedly ordered the thieves to slow down slowly until they reined in their horses and stopped.

All the war horses under them were snorting, and the sound of "Xi Lv Lv" could be heard endlessly, gradually becoming one.

Although Zhang Cheng took the opportunity to change a horse, but seeing the horse thief in front stop, he also slowed down the horse and stopped a hundred steps away from Xie Junyou.

At this time, Chen De had also caught up, and he galloped to Zhang Cheng's side, and asked for instructions: "Zhang Shuai, do you want to charge?"

Zhang Cheng didn't answer him, but asked loudly with interest: "Chen De, kill some horse thieves!"

Chen De was taken aback by his question, then smiled and said: "Eleven horse thieves have been beheaded."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Cheng laughed heartily, and said again: "Okay. There are two more than this commander, so he is a general."

When he said this, he pointed at Xie Junyou's remaining [-] or [-] horse thieves, and said loudly to Chen De: "There are still many thieves here. Our competition is not over yet, you may not win this handsome!"

…………

Xie Junyou also held up the long knife in his hand, pointed to Zhang Cheng and shouted loudly: "The officers and soldiers are his mother's two horses, we can't run away anyway, why don't we rush to fight with him, my father is If you die, you have to drag an officer to accompany you to the funeral!"

"Fighting..."

"Fucking shit, let's fight..."

"After 17 years, my father is still a good man!"

"Yes, 18 years later, my father is still following Chuang Wang to kill corrupt officials..."

All the thieves are old thieves or veterans who have gone through the battle. They also understand what Xie Junyou said just now.

But now that the horsepower is weak, if he continues to run like this, once the horse loses its strength, it will be at the mercy of others. It is better to rush desperately at this time, and there may be a one in ten thousand chance of escaping.

Seeing that his words had worked, Xie Junyou hurriedly continued to shout loudly: "Brothers, thank you, I will take the lead for the big guys, and I will fight a bloody way if I die, as long as I break through the cavalry formation of the officer army on the opposite side, and look for the cavalry of Master Liu, the chief sentinel." , our old man is worth it!"

He raised his knife and shouted: "Come on! Kill! Kill the officers and soldiers!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

The remaining 80 or so horse thieves followed behind Xie Junyou, vigorously mobilizing their horses to charge towards Zhang Cheng and Chen De.
But Xie Junyou was slightly different from others. He was the first to urge the horse to charge, but for some reason, he gradually slowed down, and gradually retreated from the first position to the middle of the eighty or so horse thieves.

…………

Zhang Cheng had already seen the horse thief's intentions, and he said to Chen De: "The rest of the horse thief will do their best, Chen De, boy, be careful!"

Chen De had already been inspired by Zhang Cheng, and he replied loudly: "Please rest assured Zhang Shuai, Chen De will not die, I still want to follow Zhang Shuai to kill the thief!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng turned his head and gave him a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "Okay. Let's kill the thief together."

At this moment, the horse thieves on the opposite side rushed forward in formation. Since the distance was only a hundred steps away, Zhang Cheng didn't rush to give an order, but shouted loudly: "Boys, kill the thieves!"

"Kill! Kill the thief..."

Both sides roared heart-piercingly, and launched a death charge from different directions. Although Zhang Cheng's side had the upper hand in terms of strength, the horse thief on the opposite side was already determined to die, but it was not easy to deal with. .

He urged his horse to meet a horse thief on the opposite side, put his head on the horse's back, and stabbed forward with the knife stick in his hand. The two-inch long knife point on the stick pierced the horse thief's chest. How could the light armor on his body not Withstood the violent impact under such a rush.

The huge impact directly pushed the horse thief away from the horse's back, and his body flew into the air. Zhang Cheng held the horse thief's body and rushed forward for several steps before vigorously shaking the body away.

Xie Junyou mixed in among the horse thieves, and managed to pass Zhang Cheng and Chen De's cavalry formation unscathed. Several of Chen Yongfu's servants found that he was dressed like a thief, so they chased him and started fighting.
