The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 457 Miserable Victory

"Die!"

Zhang Xiu's martial arts skills are amazing, and he kills all directions. Wherever he goes, no armor is left, and there is no single enemy.

Five thousand elite cavalry followed Zhang Xiu and rushed all the way. The two thousand Xianbei soldiers could not resist Zhang Xiu's army charge. Although the Xianbei people were brave, they were afraid of death in the face of an absolutely powerful enemy.

"kill!"

Cheriji saw that Zhang Xiu had many soldiers and horses, and they were extremely elite. He knew that he was invincible, and he already wanted to retreat, but behind him, there were more than a thousand Xianbei people who had not come down from the Xinping City Tower, and were still fighting.

Thousands of soldiers and horses had gathered downstairs in Xinping City, but they were useless at all. Facing Zhang Xiu's army, a thousand Xianbei soldiers and horses had no chance of winning.

"Kill that Han general and reward him with a thousand sheep!"

Cherage knew that the only way out now was to kill the young general, otherwise all the troops he brought would be lost here. If he lost these soldiers and horses, he would not be much better if he went back alive.

"Oh..." A thousand sheep is a huge wealth on the grassland, and there must be a brave man under a great reward. After hearing Cheriji's words, the Xianbei people excitedly came to kill Zhang Xiu, and from time to time there were cold arrows. Xiang Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu is an ordinary person, so he can still withstand this attack.

Besides, Zhang Xiu was not alone, he came with five thousand elites. Zhang Xiu was attacked by Xianbei soldiers and horses. Of course, the soldiers behind Zhang Xiu quit and rushed to kill him.

Unsurprisingly, the Xianbei soldiers and horses began to rout, and their charge could not hurt Zhang Xiu at all, but was crushed all the way.

The equipment of Zhang Xiu's cavalry is far comparable to that of Xianbei. Whether it is bows and arrows or spears and swords, they are better than Xianbei.

"go!"

Seeing that the general situation was over, Cheriji had to order a retreat, otherwise not only the remaining Xianbei soldiers would not be able to leave, but he himself would also get in.

As for the Xianbei soldiers and horses who were still fighting on the tower, Cheriji had no choice but to give up. Zhang Xiu's charge was too fast and fierce.

"Chasing, don't let anyone go!"

Facing the Xianbei people, Zhang Xiu was not soft-hearted at all. He could kill as many as he could, but how could he watch the Xianbei people escape from under his nose.

"Damn..."

Zhang Xiu divided his troops into two groups. He led his men to continue chasing and killing Cheriji, and the other way went into the tower to clean up the remnants of the enemy on the tower.

Cheriji, who was chased by Zhang Xiu, was furious. He was only a little bit close to taking Xinping City and getting countless wealth, but there was no way. Follow Qiu Liju's army back to revenge.

"Die!"

Zhang Xiu yelled to kill. Although Cherigi's riding skills are good, Zhang Xiu is not bad, and Zhang Xiu's horse is not an ordinary horse. It is the top horse in Liu Bei's hands, specially prepared for the generals of all parties.

Cheriji's horse is not bad, but Cheriji is newly defeated, and the strong enemy behind him is chasing him. He is flustered, and it is difficult to increase the speed of the horse to the fastest speed, so Zhang Xiu catches up.

Hatred that the foreigners in the grassland plundered the Central Plains and slaughtered the people, Zhang Xiu was determined not to let the enemy leader go, and followed Cheriji to death.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiu was getting closer, Cheriji snorted coldly, quietly picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the horse, turned around suddenly while running fast, and shot an arrow at Zhang Xiu who was following him.

Zhang Xiu noticed Cheriji's small movements in advance, and he was prepared in his heart. When he saw Cheriji turning around, he knew it was wrong, so he hurriedly attached to the horse's back, and a sharp arrow flew over Zhang Xiu's head.

"court death!"

Zhang Xiu was furious, if he hadn't been vigilant, he would have fallen into Cheriji's way now.Although Cherrigi's arrow failed to kill Zhang Xiu, it slowed down Zhang Xiu's speed and opened up the distance between Cherrigi and Zhang Xiu a lot.

How could Zhang Xiu let Cherridge escape? Immediately, he raised the bow and arrow on his horse and pointed it at Cherridge, who was starting to distance him.

Turning around and shooting arrows from behind are two different things. Cherridge thought he was going to escape, so he didn't turn around to check Zhang Xiu's situation.

Zhang Xiu is not only good at using long spears, but also good at bow and arrow. As a top military general, his bow and arrow skills are poor, so he can't afford to lose that man.Under such circumstances, it was no accident that Cherigi was shot in the back by Zhang Xiu and fell off the horse.

"die!"

After a few breaths, Zhang Xiu rushed to the place where Cheriji fell from the horse. Seeing Cheriji struggling in horror, Zhang Xiu stabbed Cheriji with a spear in his chest, and Cheriji, the Xianbei vanguard general who attacked Xinping, was killed. The head was cut off, brought back and hung on the city gate as a public display.

The first Xinping guard battle ended with the beheading of Cheriji. Xianbei had five thousand soldiers and horses, and very few escaped. The leader Cheriji was killed, which meant that Cheriji's tribe would be annexed by other tribes.

After the victory, there was no atmosphere of joy in Xinping City. Instead, there was loud crying and wailing. On the upper floors of Xinping City, countless people were rummaging for their husbands and sons, and even more were hugging cold corpses or crying. Howl, or daze.

"This is our fault."

After Zhang Xiu came back, seeing this scene, she was speechless. If they had arrived earlier, many people would have survived.

They are the army of the great Han. It is their duty to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and it is their duty to protect the common people. After experiencing countless life and death fights, they should have been cold-blooded and ruthless long ago, and they should have seen through life and death long ago.

But facing such a miserable scene, their hearts trembled, and a sense of shame still emerged.

"Send servants to investigate the movement of Xianbei soldiers and horses."

"The rest are waiting to deal with the corpses on the tower and treat the injured."

That's all Zhang Xiu can do, they are not safe yet, what they repelled was only Xianbei's vanguard soldiers and horses, Xianbei's more than [-] troops are rushing here, the real battle of life and death is coming.

"Meng Jian, magistrate of Xinping County, pay homage to the general, thank you general for coming to rescue, otherwise tens of thousands of people in Xinping County..."

Meng Jian was also injured, but the injury was minor. A simple treatment has been done, and the basic mobility is still there. Zhang Xiu's army has arrived. As the person in charge of Xinping, Meng Jian must come to see Zhang Xiu as soon as possible, because Meng Jian knows, Next, the safety of Xinping County depends entirely on Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses.

"Sir, don't do this." Zhang Xiu admired such a talented and courageous civil servant. If Meng Jian hadn't been fully prepared and commanded properly, Xinping County might not have been able to wait for his arrival, and it had already been captured by the Xianbei. The people in the county are not much better than those in Chiyang.

"Hey....."

Meng Jian was deeply saddened. Of the thousands of strong men he summoned, none of them returned alive. It is not an exaggeration to say that the entire army was wiped out.
