Valkyrie Returns

Chapter 33

Zhao Yun led the Jizhou cavalry left behind by Gongsun Zan to march southeast of Xiliang City. Although they sat on horseback with bright armor and silver helmets, their backs straight and expressionless, their hearts were already turbulent.Ever since Yu Ji poisoned Gongsun Zan, he followed Yu Ji all the way to Xiliang in order to seek revenge, no matter how hard he reminded him that the three-headed soft child who kept dangling in front of his eyes was a vicious, flip-handed woman who was good at thaumaturgy Evil way, also can't stop the joy and warmth from the depths of his heart, completely unable to face him with swords.

It's as if just looking at the child in front of me, there are countless reassuring fragments flashing across my mind, for a while it is a big lake that can't be seen at a glance, and for a while I can smell the faint fragrance of white lotus in the nose.When Zhao Yun calmed down and thought about it carefully, the half-grown child who reached his chest suddenly transformed into a handsome boy in white clothes with wide sleeves and holding a jade rabbit lantern, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent, and a warm light poured out from the ground. However, the self-control that has been practiced for many years is useless in front of such a mysterious child.

It seems that as long as you get a little farther away from him, your heart will be emptied, and it hurts. As long as the little kid with a playful smile all day is not in your sight, you will feel inexplicably anxious and worried. As if he was about to disappear somewhere in the void, the feeling was very strange to Zhao Yun, but it was not difficult to understand. It was as if a sharp sword was always hanging above his head, and if he was distracted for a while, his life would be in danger. There is no escape.

Zhao Yun had suspected countless times that the reason why he became so strange was because Yu Ji cast some kind of magic on him secretly, which captured his mind. He didn't realize it until the moment Xiu Yuan and Lu Bu came back. Yu Ji has a playful smile all day long, and his heart is also fearful and flustered.

The master once said: "Three times a day I examine myself", and Yu Ji seems to shut himself alone in the backyard room for a few hours a day, burning incense and cleaning clothes, and tinkering with those tortoise shell talismans in fear.In the lobby that day, although Zhao Yun didn't quite understand the meaning of Xiuyuan's words, he memorized those words verbatim in his heart. Perhaps, just like the rumors in the city, Wenhou Lvbu's military advisers could spy on them. Seeing the secrets, there are no prophets, otherwise how to explain that a cultivator like Yu Ji obeyed his advice, and even changed his usual disgust and gave him a bag when he left the city?

Zhao Yun devoted himself to martial arts since he was young, hoping that one day he would be able to "learn martial arts and become a king's family." But he never thought that he had a good martial arts, but he was already a hero and brought chaos to the world.Seeing that the royal way of the Han Dynasty was about to fall, he had no choice but to wander around in a daze. When did Zhao Yun even forget his grand ambitions? Don't do it, just look at his bright yellow satin shoes from a distance and feel satisfied?Maybe all of this can only be done when Xiuyuan wakes up from the coma, and then finds a chance to ask him clearly.

Zhao Yun was thinking wildly, when someone beside him whispered: "General, the scouts are here to report that there are traces of pots and firewood [-] miles ahead, and the firewood in the pit is still hot." Zhao Yun suddenly felt a warning sign. , recovered from the wild thoughts, and calmly ordered: "Since there is a pot, Cao Jun must have been on the road all night, and maybe he has stopped and wrapped the horseshoes in cotton cloth, and the order is passed. All the soldiers will advance slowly in three ways, holding The torch shouted loudly, as soon as I found out, I would immediately respond with a letter of fire."

On the one hand, Zhao Yun lamented Jia Xu's ingenious calculation, on the other hand, he was a little nervous. Since Mr. Jia expected it to be right, it must be Cao Wei's elite army in Xiliang who appeared here.There are no more than a thousand soldiers under him, and although they are all experienced soldiers, they are not from Xiliang after all, and I don't know if they can stop Cao Jun.

Before he had time to set up the cavalry's charging position, the letter fire in the night sky had already exploded with a scream.With Zhao Yun's toes on the horse's back, he flew towards the fire like a falcon, and his silver gun was particularly eye-catching against the dim moonlight.Before reaching the place where the letter fire exploded, Zhao Yun heard a clear and pleasant voice commanding from a distance: "The back formation changes to the front formation, and the front formation changes to the rear formation. Don't panic, everyone, keep the formation, and the archers take aim." The torches in the enemy's hands are dim at this time, even if a signal fire is sent out, without the torches to guide the way, support will not come, the cavalry is ready to charge and kill the enemy scouts first!"

Although the voice that issued the order had a youthful and clear rhythm, the tone of cruelty was very strong. It was obvious that the leader was also a man who had experienced many battles. In a confrontation, even Zhao Yun couldn't help but cheer for the enemy general.

Of course, Zhao Yun not only did not applaud, but also shot like lightning, from the dark place mixed with trees, he attacked the enemy general on horseback. If he could achieve success with one blow, then this would not be a fear for Cao Jun.Zhang Jaw took the water bag from the hand of the general, and was about to raise his head to drink water, but suddenly felt an extremely sharp chill rushing towards his face, and immediately bent his legs slightly, and the whole person passed through the horse like a fish. Under the abdomen, the sergeant behind him holding the general flag was not so lucky. Zhao Yun immediately stabbed through with all his strength, his eyes protruded, and he fell limply.

Zhao Yun missed a blow and was about to retreat. He opened his jaw and rubbed against the crooked flagpole, and then jumped up from behind the horse's belly. Instead of retreating, he advanced.As the saying goes, one inch is one inch long and one inch is strong. When using a gun as a weapon, the most important thing is to grasp the distance, have a well-founded advance and retreat, and have both offense and defense.

Zhang Jaw, however, judged this in a split second, and there was no room for Zhao Yun to open the distance again. The pair of water thorns between his wrists attacked several times from tricky angles in the blink of an eye.Seeing that Zhao Yun was exhausted, he didn't fall. Instead, he used the tip of his gun to touch the ground, and raised it a few feet higher, dodging all the attacks from his jaws. Come, Zhang Jaw curled up into a ball, and quickly turned back on the horse and sat down.

In just half a moment, the two exchanged dozens of moves. Although neither of them took advantage, they each admired the other's reaction and skill in their hearts. Their eyes met, and there was a hint of sympathy .

Zhang Jaw's long and slender fingers turned, picked up the water bag and drank water to moisten his throat, then asked loudly: "I don't know who is here, Zhang is not talented, and he didn't know that there is such a strong general in Xiliang City besides Lu Fengxian."

Zhao Yun stepped on the Tiangang, and in an instant he joined his subordinates together: "Changshan Zhao Zilong."

Zhang Jaw frowned slightly, and after thinking hard for a while, he still couldn't find any information related to the young general in front of him. He secretly stepped up his guard in his heart, but on his face he quietly avoided the topic: "So it's General Zhao, Under the order of our military adviser, Zhang was rushing to Jincheng overnight to meet Han Sui. If his subordinates are reckless, please look to General Haihan. If he is free someday, my military adviser will come to the door to apologize to Lord Hou in person. We will not change Qingshan , the green water flows forever, don’t pass it by now.”

Zhang Jai clasped his fists on the horse's back, then turned the horse's head to head towards Jincheng.Zhao Yun's eyes shone brightly, his brows sank slightly, and his masculine outline was full of anger: "Your Excellency came here uninvited, with ulterior motives, and this trip has been exposed, why don't you think that there will be no soldiers left behind?" After finishing speaking, he said in a low voice. After a few drinks, clouds and haze swirled in the sky, and even the moonlight shone a little bit. He opened his jaw and raised his eyes to sweep, but saw cavalrymen with white horses and silver armor in the sparse gaps in the miscellaneous forest, with a heroic appearance and a solemn expression on their faces. Stare at yourself.

"Bai Ma Yi Cong? I didn't expect anyone other than the Marquis of Jizhou to mobilize them. It seems that you must not be an unknown person. I was the one who was abrupt before." Zhang Jaiyun said here lightly, and suddenly changed the topic, his tone was in vain He became sharp: "It's just that this team of cavalry wants to block me, it's too much to underestimate Zhang." Before he finished speaking, he opened his jaw and swiped his whip lightly, shouting loudly: "Qingzhou cavalry will charge and kill with me. The enemy, the archers and swordsmen broke through the encirclement in the dark and quickly returned to the camp to pass the news to the army division. The cavalry is inconvenient to move in the forest, so just leave the baggage and equipment to find an opening and leave!"

Although Zhao Yun was always on guard against Zhang Jaw's movements, he didn't expect him to call out the order openly.It was not good, the situation was critical, and he didn't care too much, so he had no choice but to learn from others, imitating the example, and quickly poured out the order with internal force: "Don't be distracted, the forest land is narrow, and the infantry who lost their luggage cannot be stopped. Narrow the encirclement and surround the coach with all your strength!"

Zhang Jaw's beautiful eyes turned, and he gritted his teeth to urge the horseshoe and Zhao Yun to fight together again. Although the troops he brought out were all Qingzhou's elite soldiers, one of the best in the Cao Wei camp, they didn't have any outstanding generals. Look at Zhao Yun Martial arts moves are round and round, sending and receiving at will, obviously he is one of the few masters in this world, Zhang Jaw naturally understands that fighting in the open, he will definitely not be able to take advantage, but even if he is seriously injured and dies in the fight, he cannot escape and go to the rear.

Only fighting for the combat power of the soldiers, Zhang Jaw has absolute confidence in the soldiers of Qingzhou. If a master like Zhao Yun rushes to the rear, he will undoubtedly be hungry.The two fought again, with completely different attitudes. Zhao Yun was concerned about the city of Xiliang and tried to fight quickly, but Zhang Jaw had already put all his strength into it and rushed forward desperately. For a while, he was really evenly matched with Zhao Yun.

In the case where there is a certain gap in force between the two, the reason for the stalemate has a lot to do with the fact that Zhao Yun has not experienced much actual combat at this time, and most of the time he is not alone in command, although a rough look, He and Zhang Jai couldn't compare to each other. In fact, since the confrontation between the two, Zhang Jai had always taken the lead in commanding, while Zhao Yun was passively led by the nose.

After fighting for a while, the Qingzhou cavalry of Cao Wei's camp gradually showed their bravery, while the cavalry under Zhao Yun's command were already weakened because of running all night.Zhao Yun couldn't help it, so he had to be distracted frequently to support, and finally let Zhang Jaw find a space to rush out despite being poked with a blood hole in his shoulder.

Zhao Yun looked up at the sky helplessly, the moon was setting in the west, and the red glow was faintly approaching in the east, and it was not long before dawn.
