Three Kingdoms: Daily settlement helps Liu Bei revive the Shu Han dynasty.

Chapter 115 Zhao Yun: Finally, I can "eat meat"!

Zhao Yun led three hundred cavalrymen out of the camp and galloped south along the official road.

At the same time, Wang Lang was leading 10,000 county soldiers to retreat towards Shanyin.

On the way back to Shanyin, you will pass through Yuji.

Yu Ji, on the other hand, has already been captured by Zhang Fei and Lei Hu.

Wang Lang's soldiers were demoralized, dragging their feet in small groups, no one spoke, only the sound of hurried footsteps and occasional coughs.

Dusk is approaching.

Wang Lang, mounted on his horse, had a livid face.

Gaoqiantun was burned down, and all the grain and fodder were destroyed.

Yu Fan stayed behind to cover the retreat, and his fate is now unknown.

His painstakingly constructed and supposedly impregnable defenses crumbled overnight like paper under Lu Yong's surprise attack.

"Lu Yong, as expected, lives up to his reputation. I have paid enough attention to him, but it is still not enough—" Wang Lang thought with frustration.

Just then, a scout reported: "My lord, there seem to be enemy cavalry behind us!"

Wang Lang looked back and indeed heard the dull sound of horses' hooves coming from behind, getting closer and louder.

Those soldiers from Jiangnan had never seen any organized cavalry units before.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened.

"They're cavalry!" Wang Lang's expression changed drastically.

He never expected that Lu Yong would send cavalry to pursue him!

Kuaiji Commandery has many waterways, but this area is also open and spacious, making it a perfect place for cavalry to gallop!

"Form ranks! Form ranks!" Wang Lang shouted, drawing his sword.

The army of 10,000 soldiers was stretched too long, and military orders were slow to be transmitted.

With most soldiers panicking, they pushed and shoved, creating complete chaos.

At this moment, Zhao Yun's cavalry had already caught up!

Although there were only three hundred men, they had been longing for military achievements for far too long.

These cavalrymen had been stationed in Dangtu since they marched south to Danyang, finding it difficult to use their skills in the water-rich Jiangnan region.

Apart from the previous attack on Niuzhu Camp, they have basically not fought any other battles.

Seeing other teams racking up battle merits while they could only defend the city, they were all filled with resentment.

Now that they have finally gotten the chance to fight under the command of strategist Lu Yong, the cavalrymen are naturally all eager to put on a good show!

Three hundred cavalrymen charged out from the twilight, their iron hooves thundering across the ground with astonishing force.

Zhao Yun took the lead, aiming at the middle of Wang Lang's army, and charged forward!

He wanted to cut the line in half, preventing the beginning and end from supporting each other and causing even greater chaos.

Zhao Yun roared, "Kill!"

Wherever the gleaming silver spear went, no one could stop it.

Wang Lang's soldiers only felt a flash before their eyes, and then the whole world began to quickly turn dark.

Three hundred cavalrymen, like a sharp knife, plunged straight into the center of Wang Lang's army.

Before Wang Lang's soldiers could organize an effective defense, Zhao Yun's cavalry had already charged into the army formation!

Iron hooves trampled over the ground, spears pierced through the ground, and screams of agony rose and fell.

Seeing that the enemy's forces were small, Wang Lang quickly mobilized his vanguard to turn back and reinforce, hoping to encircle Zhao Yun's cavalry.

But Zhao Yun didn't engage in prolonged combat. After charging left and right through the chaotic army for a while, he directly broke through the enemy lines and ran away into the distance.

Wang Lang's infantry chased for a distance, but couldn't even touch a single horse hair; they could only eat dust in the back.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry had gone far away, Wang Lang reorganized his troops and ordered them to maintain their formation and retreat slowly.

But not long after, Zhao Yun returned to fight his way back.

The original three hundred cavalrymen have actually become seven hundred!

Without the support of heavily armored and spearmen, it would be a pipe dream for infantry formations to withstand a cavalry charge.

Another wave of fighting ensued.

Wang Lang's army was thrown into chaos by Zhao Yun's antics.

Every time they tried to encircle him, Zhao Yun would always be the first to sense their intentions and break through the encirclement from the weakest point.

Seven hundred cavalrymen roared away, leaving behind only corpses and scattered soldiers.

Wang Lang watched the cavalry disappear into the distance again, trembling with anger, yet utterly helpless.

He could only mutter angrily, "This person is extremely cunning!"

In order to deal with the possibility of Zhao Yun's attack again, Wang Lang ordered the entire army to retreat slowly southward, with swordsmen and shieldmen on the outside and archers and crossbowmen on the inside.

However, this made the marching speed very slow.

And this was exactly the result Zhao Yun wanted.

He wanted to hold off Wang Lang's army so that Lu Yong's main force could catch up!

Zhao Yun returned for the third time.

But Wang Lang had already realized what was going on and had his spearmen set up a hedgehog formation.

This time, Zhao Yun did not charge head-on. Instead, he ordered his cavalry to circle around Wang Lang's troops, with archers on horseback occasionally firing a volley of arrows to harass them.

Wang Lang wanted to send troops to pursue them, but the infantry could not catch up with the cavalry.

In an attempt to hasten their retreat, the formation loosened, and Zhao Yun seized the opportunity to charge in again, causing trouble and creating disturbances.

This army of over ten thousand men was torn apart and dragged like sheep by a pack of wolves by Zhao Yun's nearly one thousand cavalrymen, caught in a dilemma and suffering immense pain.

"My lord, this can't go on!" A lieutenant ran up to Wang Lang. "It's getting dark, the brothers are exhausted and hungry. If we get bogged down by the cavalry any longer, they might mutini."

Wang Lang gritted his teeth and said, "Send the order: leave a thousand soldiers to cover the rear, and the rest of you must speed up the march."

The adjutant knew that Wang Lang was about to make a drastic decision.

Just as he was about to accept the order and leave, a deafening battle cry suddenly came from the east.

It turned out that Zhang Fei and Lei Hu's army had arrived!

After capturing Yuji, they headed west, hoping to catch up with the battle between Lu Yong and Wang Lang.

Unexpectedly, after only traveling a third of the distance, they actually encountered Wang Lang's main force, which was being severely harassed by Zhao Yun.

Zhang Fei, sitting on his horse, laughed heartily and said to Lei Hu, "Zilong has Wang Lang tied up! It's our turn to go in."

Five thousand soldiers had already formed ranks.

At Zhang Fei's command, the entire army launched an attack.

When Wang Lang saw a large army charging out from the east, with the character "Zhang" written on its banner, his face turned completely pale.

But he didn't have time to think it through, because Zhang Fei's troops had already rushed in front of him.

Lei Hu took the lead, sweeping his great axe and directly cleaving through Wang Lang's army formation.

Zhang Fei followed closely behind, swinging his spear left and right, sending human body parts flying everywhere.

Wang Lang's soldiers had been tormented by Zhao Yun for nearly an hour and were already exhausted.

Zhao Yun heard the sounds of fighting from the east and knew that it was probably an allied force arriving.

So he led his cavalry and launched another attack from the west.

Under the combined attack from both sides, the morale of Wang Lang's army completely collapsed.

The soldiers threw down their weapons; some knelt down to surrender, while others scattered and fled.

"My lord, let's go quickly!"

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, Wang Lang fled south under the protection of more than ten personal guards.

But Zhao Yun had already seen him.

Zhao Yun spurred his horse forward, pointing his gleaming silver spear: "Wang Lang, don't run!"

The guards rushed forward to stop him, but Zhao Yun knocked them all to the ground with a single spear thrust.

Wang Lang's horse was startled, its front hooves left the ground, throwing him off.

Wang Lang fell to the ground, his helmet rolled off, and his hair became disheveled.

He struggled to get up, but Zhao Yun had already reined in his horse and stopped in front of him, the tip of his spear pressed against his chest.

"Lord Wang, please forgive me." Zhao Yun waved his hand behind him, and immediately cavalrymen jumped off their horses and tied up Wang Lang.

Zhang Fei arrived at this time as well.

He glanced at the bound Wang Lang, then looked at Zhao Yun, grinning, "Zilong, you've caught the biggest fish!"

Zhao Yun clasped his hands and smiled, "Third General, you've eaten too much meat, it's time to share some soup with us."

Zhang Fei glared at him and said, "I heard you're going to be following Huai'an from now on. Are you worried about not getting any meat?"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

As Lu Yong led his army in pursuit, a notification sound suddenly rang in his mind: [System Record: Zhao Yun led cavalry in pursuit, joining forces with Zhang Fei to defeat Wang Lang's main force and capture Wang Lang. Today's achievement +1.]

[Current Achievements Pending Settlement: 5 item.]
