After Yang Huai and others rushed out of the Chu army's stronghold, they ran all the way, patting their horses and galloping.
Not far behind, Huang Zhong led 3,000 cavalry, and he took the lead, biting their tail tightly. In this situation, if they chased them to the bottom of the city, it was even possible to break through in a battle.
More importantly, after Liu Bei woke up from the chaotic battle just now, he immediately organized his army to march forward and quickly set off to attack Jianmen Pass. This opportunity is very good. Yang Huai and Gao Pei are not ready to defend the barrier. There is a great possibility of breaking through the barrier. If they can break through the barrier in one battle, they can capture Shuzhong in no time.
Yang Huai and Gao Pei also knew it well, so they were even more anxious. If Jianmen Pass was breached, Chengdu would be in danger. This was the last barrier in Chengdu and was related to the survival of Shu. The two of them worked hard to raise their whips. He drew his horse and quickly headed towards Jianmen Pass.
Huang Zhong led his troops in hot pursuit. No one was willing to miss such a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"No, Mr. Huang Zhong is pressing too hard. I'm afraid we'll be in trouble if we catch up to Guanxia." Seeing Huang Zhong chasing after him, Yang Huai felt cruel and said to Gao Pei, "General Gao, please wait. Go first, I will stop Huang Zhong."
When he said this, without waiting for Gao Pei's reply, he reined in his horse and turned around: "Soldiers, listen to the order! For the sake of the people of Shu, follow me and kill the Chu thieves!"
The three thousand cavalrymen immediately turned around and followed Yang Huai to kill him.
"General Yang!"
Gao Pei reacted and shouted sadly, tears welling up in his eyes.
Yang Huai turned back and shouted: "Stick to Jianmen Pass, we will never allow Liu Bei to pass through and destroy Shu. I will go first!"
"Walk!"
Gao Pei whipped his horse harder.
When Huang Zhong saw Yang Huai turning around to intercept him, he sneered, waved his sword, and charged forward with his horse. The two horses met, Yang Huai's eyes widened in anger, and he stabbed Huang Zhong in the waist with a spear. Huang Zhong didn't panic. He pushed away the spear with a flick of the knife tip and swept it with his long knife.
Yang Huai's head rolled to the ground.
In just one round, Yang Huai was beheaded.
In front of super first-rate generals, the first rate can still fight for dozens of rounds, the second rate can resist, and the third rate is not eye-catching. There is no suspense in defeating him in a few rounds. At this moment, Huang Zhong is in full swing and has full firepower. Yang Huailian can't even fight in three rounds. If he didn't pass by, he would be beheaded and dismounted.
When the other cavalrymen saw this, they were so frightened that they lost the courage to resist, turned around and ran away.
Gao Pei saw this and felt extremely sad. His colleague who had worked with him for decades was separated head and body in front of him. He exchanged his life for precious time. He was still five miles away from Jianmen Pass. He could still do it at the critical moment. Seeing this, everyone speeded up.
Huang Zhong, who was behind him, felt even more anxious when he saw this.
These people must not be allowed to enter the city, otherwise there will be endless troubles, which must be solved outside the city.
Huang Zhong put down his sword, took off the hard bow from the saddle, and pulled out an arrow feather. As the horse galloped, he opened his bow and aimed an arrow at Gao Pei in front. His eyes shrank and his fingertips suddenly loosened.
"boom!"
The bowstring trembled, and arrows flew out.
Gao Pei suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head. He turned around and was frightened to death. An arrow was aimed at his head and shot through the air. The sharp arrow exuded a life-threatening cold air, making people feel chilled all over.
The arrow shot out, and a smile appeared on Huang Zhong's lips.
He can pierce the poplar with every step and hit the target with every shot. After so many years, Huang Zhong has 100% confidence in his archery skills. As long as the arrows shot from his hands, there will be absolutely no missed arrows.
At this moment, the same rapid sound of breaking through the air came from the side.
Huang Zhong's eyes widened and he saw an unforgettable scene in his life: he saw an arrow speeding away from the side. When his arrow was about to hit Gao Pei, the arrow actually hit the head of his own arrow. A metallic spark flashed out in mid-air, and the two arrows lost their thrust at the same time and fell to the ground.
Everyone was shocked and looked in the direction of the arrow.
On the right side, a group of elite cavalry came on horseback. Dust and smoke billowed. The galloping momentum was like a bursting flood, carrying an irresistible high-pressure momentum. Apart from the sound of galloping horse hooves, the entire team , no more noise, just like a well-trained and tough force.
This is a powerful army that Zhang Xiu spent a year carefully selecting and strictly building, and was specially named Jingqian Army. The Jingqian army has a total of five thousand people, all of whom are carefully selected experts. Everyone wears inner and outer armor, their horses are covered with iron armor, and they are equipped with Mo swords and Jing'an repeating crossbows.
A thousand people came galloping forward with such momentum that both sides forgot about the pursuit and stared blankly at the mysterious troops they had never seen before. Huang Zhong's eyes were like two knives, staring at the man in the front holding a golden bow. The arrow just shot was shot by this man. He could not think of anyone else in the world who could have such superb archery skills.
Song Zhen had never seen King Jing Zhang Xiu before. He could clearly see the arrow he shot just now, and instantly he was in awe of this king he had never met before. Just from this arrow, he knew that King Jing was very capable.
The Chen brothers' eyes lit up with surprise.
In fact, this arrow was a bit of a gamble for Zhang Xiu. After that night, he found that the strength and vision in his body suddenly increased a lot, and the tiger-headed golden gun in his hand also felt a little lighter, and he waved it. He became more skillful. When he saw Huang Zhong take action just now, he felt an itch in his heart. He immediately followed up and shot an arrow. He didn't expect that it hit the target so accurately.
I am more sure of the changes in my body.
The powerful momentum suppressed the entire battlefield and came to Huang Zhong to block the way. A thousand cavalry were divided into two rows and faced the Chu army.
Under the sun, the armor was shiny, and the entire army made no noise except the breathing of the war horses.
The men and horses on both sides also subconsciously closed their mouths under this huge pressure and did not dare to make any noise. In a short period of time, the entire battlefield became quiet.
Huang Zhong stared at the tall figure in the middle in front of him, making sure he didn't recognize him. He took a step forward and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"
Seeing that he was a veteran, and coupled with his precise archery skills just now, Zhang Xiu had already guessed that the person opposite was the veteran Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals in later generations.
The horse took a step forward, exuding a majestic aura: "Are you Huang Zhong?"
After many years of galloping on the battlefield, he has developed a pair of vicious eyes. From the words on the other side, he can tell that the person opposite is definitely a person who has been in a high position for a long time. Today, there are only three people who can have such elite troops and powerful courage: King Cao Cao of Wei, King Sun Ce of Wu, and King Zhang Xiu of Jing.
Cao Cao and Sun Ce were impossible, leaving only King Jing Zhang Xiu.
So he said: "If I am right, you are Zhang Xiu, Prince Jing." Huang Zhong still admired Zhang Xiu's character and strength very much, and called him by your name.
Zhang Xiu nodded: "Exactly."
"Prince Jing?"
Gao Pei, who was behind, turned pale with shock.
Not only Gao Pei, but also Huang Zhong's face suddenly turned ugly when he saw Zhang Xiu admit it personally.
The arrival of King Jing means that the main force of Jing State must be nearby, while the Chu army is under the Jianmen Pass and cannot enter or exit. The situation is very dangerous.
