Chapter 4

Under the night, the moon is bright and the stars are rare.

Cai Mao led 2000 elite soldiers on their way all night, ready to take Zhang Xiu back to Xiangyang to show off their strength. Cai Mao was born in Jingxiang family. His second sister married Liu Biao. As Liu Biao's in laws, Cai Mao is happy to marry Liu Biao. On the other hand, he is not willing to let people say that he ascended to a high position with the help of marriage. He wants to prove his ability through actual combat achievements.

That's why Cai Mao pursued him all night.

Cai Mao was born in a big family. He was familiar with military books and knew the art of war. He knew the truth that the poor should not be pursued, but he knew more clearly that after Zhang Ji's defeat, the Xiliang army was already in a state of panic.

At this time, the cover up must be successful.

The rapid sound of horse's hooves and footsteps resounded through the night sky, breaking the silence of the night.

Cai Mao ordered: "speed up, full speed ahead. We are not far away from the place where the Xiliang army encamped. If you win the Xiliang army, you will be rewarded. "

He kept ordering acceleration.

Beside Cai Mao, he was accompanied by a rough looking general. His name is Zhang Yun, Liu Biao's nephew. Now, Zhang Yun is also under Cai Mao's command. This time he pursues the Xiliang army, Zhang Yun also holds great hope.

As Zhang Yun went on his way, he boasted: "general Cai, in the first World War of Zao County, we have severely damaged Zhang Ji's Xiliang army. Now, if we pursue all night, we will be able to win the first World War and win the Xiliang army completely. "

Cai Mao said with a smile, "what my brother said is true. You have won the Xiliang army this time

Zhang Yun quickly said: "I just help the general, can defeat the Xiliang army, all rely on the general to strategize."

Cai Mao said: "although there is a general layout, there is also the merit of a younger brother."

They flattered each other. Either Cai Mao or Zhang Yun regarded Zhang Xiu's Xiliang army as something in their pocket. They thought that there was no suspense about the battle.

The team is on its way.

Late at night, the team approached Zhang Xiu's camp.

Cai Mao ordered the army to stop and hide in the dark, looking at Zhang Xiu's camp in the distance. He saw the chaos in the camp, only a few soldiers defending at the gate of the camp, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

It is clear that there is no defense and it is an opportunity to win the Xiliang army.

"Kill

Cai Mao drew out his sword and gave the order to attack.

"Kill

Zhang Yun is also eager to make contributions, and takes the lead in driving out.

Immediately after that, the rest of the soldiers also charged and rushed to the camp. As soon as the two thousand soldiers appeared, they were found by the Xiliang soldiers at the gate of the camp. Seeing this, several night watchmen turned and hid in the camp.

Cai Mao was even more happy when the garrison soldiers couldn't resist.

He led the army to attack. A moment later, Cai Mao and his soldiers entered the camp.

"Kill, kill me!"

Cai Mao orders in a loud voice that he doesn't plan to recruit Xiliang army, but only plans to take his head back.

At the moment, Jingzhou soldiers are excited. They rushed into barracks with their swords. But when Jingzhou soldiers rushed into the barracks, they found a situation, that is, there was no one in the barracks.

The news soon came to Cai Mao's ears.

After hearing the news, Cai Mao frowned and had a bad feeling in his heart.

"No, it's a trick!"

Cai Mao had this idea in his mind.

If there are no soldiers stationed at the gate of the camp and there are no people in the tent, it is an empty camp. However, a small number of soldiers were stationed at the gate of the camp at the beginning. It can be seen that the Xiliang army did not withdraw and was still here. But at this time, there is no one in the tent in the camp, it must be an ambush.

"Withdraw, withdraw at once!"

Cai Mao was nervous and ordered to retreat.

Just as Cai Mao was preparing to retreat, Zhang Xiu led her troops out of the camp. The soldiers beside Zhang Xiu were all armed with bows and arrows, and all the arrows were bound with gauze soaked in kerosene.

Although the torch ignites the bow and arrow, the arrow burns.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Zhang Xiu ordered.

In an instant, the vibrating sound of the bowstring continued to ring. A rocket took off, crossed an arc in the air, and then fell into the camp. As soon as the rocket landed, it burst into flames.

In all directions of the camp, there are rockets falling down and burning fast.

When Zhang Xiu learned that Cai Mao was coming, she let the soldiers lay countless hay in the camp. When the hay meets the open fire, it burns quickly, so that in a short time, a sea of fire forms in the camp.

When the fire burns, the smoke rises.

In the camp, when Cai Mao retreated, he encountered a burning fire.

At this moment, Cai Mao became anxious.

Cai Mao reflected on himself and thought that when he arrived outside the camp, he could send a few soldiers to the camp to test, so that he would not be ambushed or caught in a sea of fire.

But it's too late!

"Withdraw! Get out of here

Cai Mao ordered the soldiers to rush forward.Although the range of the camp was small, some of CAI Mao's soldiers were soon injured under the attack of the sea of fire. Cai Mao rushed out of his mind and couldn't manage the wounded soldiers. He took people to the gate of the barracks and rushed out.

Zhang Xiu saw people rush out and ordered: "Archer, let go!"

This wave is not firing rockets, it's firing bows and arrows. After a round of arrow rain, the Jingzhou soldiers who rushed out first were hit by arrows one after another. They kept falling at the gate of the camp and died under the shooting of bows and arrows.

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

Cai Mao clenched his teeth and ordered.

There is a sea of fire in the rear. There is no doubt that you will die in the sea of fire. Although there is arrow rain ahead, as long as you rush out, there is still a ray of life. Jingzhou soldiers braved the rain of arrows and kept rushing out.

With the continuous breakthrough of Jingzhou soldiers, they finally broke out of the scope of bow and arrow.

Closer, bow and arrow will not work.

Zhang Xiu's eyes fell on Cai Mao.

Seeing that Cai Mao was going to break through, Zhang Xiu said, "it's today to capture Cai Mao. Kill me, boys

Huang Zhao, Ling Feng, Zhang Shi, Li Miao and others all led the army to kill. Zhang Xiu also turned over and got on the horse. She drove the horse out first. With the rein in his left hand and the golden spear in his right hand, he rushed directly to Cai Mao's position.

"Cai Mao, take your life!"

Zhang Xiu drank a lot in her mouth.

Trampling on the horse's hoof, the horse is like an arrow away from the string, quickly getting close to Cai Mao. At this time, a soldier came to resist, and Zhang Xiu's golden spear pierced directly. The cold cold star flashed through the air, and the tip of the spear penetrated the soldier's body.

Zhang Xiu draws out a long gun and continues to rush at Cai Mao.

The distance between the two sides, a little closer.

Ten feet!

Eight feet!

Six feet!

When the two sides were less than 40 Zhang, Cai Mao saw that he could not get rid of Zhang Xiu, so he did not retreat, but raised his sword to meet Zhang Xiu. Cai Mao was the chief General of the army. He was good at both literature and martial arts.

Cai Mao was not afraid even if he faced the challenge.

When Zhang Xiu saw that Cai Mao did not escape, she began to smile at the corner of her mouth and swept the tiger head with a golden gun.

"Dang!"

The impact of the gun and the blade made the eardrum ache.

Under the impact of the great power, Cai Mao's face suddenly changed. Under the impact of Zhang Xiu's strength, the sword in his hand could not be grasped completely. The mouth of the tiger was numb, the palm was painful, and the long sword was knocked away directly.

"Down

Zhang Xiu a hit powerful, tiger head golden gun in the air a turn, then swept out.

"Pa!"

When the barrel of the gun hit Cai Mao's waist, he heard a click. Cai Mao's ribs were broken and he screamed in pain. Under the impact of the great force, Cai Mao's body flew upside down from the horse and plummeted to the ground.

As soon as Cai Mao fell to the ground, before he had time to roll to escape, he saw a figure galloping towards him and stopping in front of him. The sharp point of the gun stopped in front of his chest.

"If Cai Mao is captured, he will not be killed!"

The tip of Zhang Xiu's gun is aimed at Cai Mao's heart, and he shouts loudly.
