The river across Xinshi reflects the orange sunset and faces south. The shimmering water reflects figures towards the direction of the township, which is the rumbling sound of horse hooves.

More than a thousand light cavalry rode through the official road.

Gao Lan wiped the sweat stains on his face, looked up at the red clouds in the west, and ran dozens of miles from the march last night to the daytime. If possible, he didn't want to take on this job, but it was hard to disobey his orders. The lord Yuan Shao took Jizhou without bloodshed. It was the time to use people. He had to earn some reputation no matter what. Although he was a bandit at present, he had a meager contribution when there was no war.

And just above the foot of the mountain above his head, in the forest, several figures were lying low behind the bushes, staring at the horses below, and then quietly left. After going down the mountain, they rode the hidden horses and left from the shortcut first. A few miles away from the official road next to him, hundreds of people were waiting. The leader was Cao Chun, who was simply wearing a fur coat and exposed his thick chest. If his brother Cao Cao was rushing here, he would not be able to recognize the fierce and dark man as his gentle and elegant clan brother at the time.

The mountain breeze blew through the forest. Cao Chun, who was squatting on one knee in the woods, inserted it into the soft soil, took a sip of wine from his waist, and threw it to his partner Gao Sheng next to him. "The leader should know that Yuan Shao's troops are coming now, and Xinshi is not far from us, so he can just keep this troops."

"...I just don't know how this damn general..." Gao Sheng took a sip of wine, twisted it back and said: "...I'm more than a thousand riders, I'm so jealous of these horses, but I can't beat this?"

Cao Chun stood up and asked a wolf rider next to him to take off his ragged patched short clothes and exchanged them with him. He put on his loose hair and tied up his loose hair, "Old Gao, do I look like a farmer?"

"It seems like... I'm just like this hungry look and wanting to eat people. No matter how stupid the general sent by Yuan Shao could see it." Gao Sheng was quite surprised to see that he wanted to take the initiative to eat the other party. He was only 500 on his side. If he really wanted to fight, he would definitely not be able to beat him. He shook his head: "... Yuan Shao's soldiers and generals are not all cowards. If it were the leader, I, Gao, still think that he has a chance of winning. I... would have to forget about you."

Cao Chun, who was dressed in clothes, raised his foot and kicked his figure who was shaking his head on the butt, and pulled up his knife, "Yuan Shao's soldiers may not be of the level of the border army. We were flowing out of the blood on the grassland, are we afraid of the cavalry composed of these county soldiers?"

"Okay, okay... I'll take your time with you." Gao Sheng rubbed his butt and pulled out the knife, "You tell me what to do."

Cao Chun inserted the knife back into the sheath, stepped on the fallen leaves and approached it, and said a few words in a low voice. Gao Sheng raised his thick eyebrows, rubbed his crooked nose and slapped his chest: "So, then you have to kill you accurately. As soon as he falls off the horse, I will take someone out."

On this side, Cao Chun asked someone to cut some firewood and tied it up, and took several people out of the woods. They glanced at the end of the official road, and the sound of horse hooves came.

...

At the same time, on the south side, the horse's hooves roared and ran. On the official road more than ten miles away from Xinshi, they had rested for a while before. Now they were about to arrive at the township ahead before dark, so they accelerated their speed. After turning over a forest, their vision became wider. On the road ahead, several pedestrians walked slowly with firewood on their backs.

It seemed as if he heard the sound of horses galloping horses. The people ran to the side of the road in panic and made way. Such scenes had happened several times on the way again. Gao Lan naturally did not doubt that the army was moving, and who would dare to block the way in groups of people?

Five zhang.

The people ran to the side of the road in panic. When the war horses were roaring, they quickly lowered their heads, probably because they did not dare to look at the cavalry's sharp edge.

Three zhang.

Gao Lan saw someone raised his face slightly when he saw Gao Lan's eyes slightly raised his face. He grinned a smile on his lips, thinking to himself: "This person is not bad."

One zhang.

While raising his head, the man in the lead took a step into the road. Gao Lan was a little surprised. When he turned his head to look, and at this moment, the woodcutter who was so close that he took a step suddenly pulled out of the pile of firewood on his back.

The white blade body, with the orange of the setting sun, reflected in Gaoguang's sight.

"There is a fraud" sounded out of him, and subconsciously pulled the reins and suddenly stopped the galloping horse. He raised his hand and shot it over, and bang! The firewood in the sky flew up, and the running figure threw out the firewood tied on his back and smashed it on the head of the gun. When the scattered firewood fell, Cao Chun approached the other party, "Ahhh--" roared.

With a knife, the blood light shot into the air from the raised horse's hooves. When the war horse was crying, the knight who had only had time to stop the horse's horse in the back hit the horse's buttocks that were neighing in front, like a straw that crushed the camel's back. With a slight impact, the war horse that lost a hooves pounced forward and fell to the ground with a bang.

When Gao Lan rolled and fell off his horse, he grabbed the horse's hair with one hand, rolled to the ground and fell heavily. He got up and still had a big gun in his hand. He smashed it to the other side, smashing the knife and the person who swung the knife backed up. Then he held the crooked copper helmet and shouted loudly: "Kill them--"

"Kill!" The figure who took a few steps back raised his knife and shouted loudly at the same time.

The few breaths after two roars were quiet and suffocating. A gust of wind blew through the forest on the side of the road, and then it seemed like countless sounds were roaring together.

"kill--"

The bushes trembled, and a war horse jumped out. The bald strong man on the horse waved his sword and chopped down a cavalry who had been stunned for a moment. In the forest far and near, one...two...four...ten...hundred war horses rushed out. Some people pulled their bows, some people pulled out their swords, and they pushed their guns and hit the middle of the long dragon-like team. The sound of bang bang, and the swords slashed the two sides and caused blood waves. The cavalry rushed over and finally teared a gap through the road.

Gao Lan took a look at the battle situation that suddenly appeared over there, his pupils tightened, and he shouted: "Black Mountain Bandits--" Several wolf riders disguised as woodcutters threw down their firewood, drew their swords and rushed over. Gao Lan held the big gun in both hands to block the cut blade, swung the left and right, swept the two of them away, and took heavy steps to rush towards the commanding figure in front.

Cao Chun turned around and kicked the stone on the enclave. The figure rushed over and roared and waved his gun to pieces. When the stone dust sprinkled, the opposite side slashed through the dust. With a spear, a spear was slashed, and the blade slashed on the copper pole. Mars splashed. The two of them raised their feet at the same time, hitting the abdomen of both sides, and stumbled apart.

On the other side, in the middle of the chaotic road, some wolf riders dragged the opponent's cavalry and ran in the fields, constantly shooting back, and the rest fought in chaos. Gao Sheng slashed several enemies. When he saw this, he rushed over: "Brother Cao, Lao Gao will help you."

"Don't come here-" Cao Chun covered his abdomen and opened the corners of his bloody mouth and shouted.

Xilulu-

The war horse neighed, and the horse's hooves trampled on the ground frantically, Gao Ling was wearing armor. The other party's kick just now did not cause any substantial harm to him. Looking at the thief rushing over, he smiled with a big gun and rushed towards the other party.

The big sword poked out of the side of the horse and swung it horizontally. The figure running on the ground roared and the big gun stabbed out.

Wow—

The spearhead hit the blade, and the force hit the handle of the knife and flew away. There was a sound of a sound when it hit the horse. The figure on the back of the horse was unstable and fell to the ground. Cao Chun stared at the crack of his eyes and shouted: "Gao Sheng!" He endured the abdominal pain, held the knife in his hands and rushed towards the figure standing with the gun. When he raised the knife, the other party actually shaking.

Then... fell down with a bang.

"What...what happened?" Gao Sheng got up from the ground and looked at the enemy general on the ground, feeling puzzled.
