Chapter 16: Wild Horse (1)

  On the prairie, it is vast and open. Once encountering cavalry, there is no place to hide or escape.

  If not the target of an attack, it is most appropriate to bypass the front edge, although still possible to receive some impact, but suddenly, there is only this method. Moreover, it can also show one's position to the other party to a certain extent.

  Liu Zhang's four men had just made a move, and in fact, they were thinking the same thing. But before the four of them could dodge, they saw the rolling dust suddenly turn towards their side and charge over, and the faces of the four men instantly turned cold and stern.

  This sign only indicates one problem, which is that their goal is themselves!

  Among the four, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were both freshly discharged from the army. In any case, the military would never be stingy with their officers' weapons. Therefore, the two of them were each carrying an iron spear.

  Liu Zhang and Zhao Yun, however, rushed to Jinyang as soon as they left the mountain. After arriving, Liu Zhang was busy plotting against Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and didn't pay attention to the matter of the weapons. Therefore, the two men were still using the yellow bamboo spears they had used when they learned their skills on Wuyun Peak.

  Fortunately, the yellow bamboo was a wild species that had been secretly cultivated by Liu Zhang for a long time. Although its hardness was not as good as steel, it also had great toughness. Under the infusion of the two men's skills, it could be used to kill ten or twenty people.

  But judging from the current situation across the way, I'm afraid there are too many people coming. This yellow bamboo spear is tough, but whether it can withstand such a large battle is really hard to predict.

  Sister, once we return to Ji Province, the first thing I'll do is forge a suitable weapon! Otherwise, if I were to lose my life due to this reason, that would be truly frustrating.

  Liu Zhang secretly made a decision, but his face didn't reveal any sign of fear. He ordered the three men to prepare for battle and rode his horse forward, stopping in front of them.

  Zhang Liao and Gao Shun had already acknowledged their lord, how could they let Liu Zhang be in front of them in this situation. With a surge of emotion, they involuntarily gritted their teeth, urged on their mounts, and stood side by side in front of Liu Zhang, ready to fight to the death.

  In the face of this situation, turning around and running away is a stupid act. The back is unguarded, and one arrow can kill you. The only way out is to seek life in death, break through the enemy's formation, and take advantage of the opponent's chaotic formation to speed up your escape.

  Cavalry formation, speed and horsepower will be the key to victory! All four of them were familiar with tactics, since they had set their strategy, they wouldn't stay in place stupidly. At this moment, they shouted loudly, urging their war horses forward, starting with a slow run, then getting faster and faster, their waists slightly arched, each holding their long spears up, charging straight at the enemy.

  At first, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were in the front, but they didn't run far before Zhao Yun's **Jade Lion Horse** began to show its might. With its four hooves flying, it was like a white line that brushed past the two men and rushed straight to the front.

  "Huh? Ah――"

  Just as Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Liu Zhang were speeding up their pursuit, Zhao Yun, who was already far ahead and in the lead, suddenly let out a cry of surprise and abruptly reined in his horse, staring at the front with eyes full of wonder.

  Liu Zhang and his two companions were bewildered, each urging their horses to hurry up. Just as they arrived beside Zhao Yun, they heard him exclaim excitedly: "What a truly divine steed!"

  The three of them were stunned, their eyes fixed on something, and they couldn't help but be petrified.

  Originally, amidst the swirling dust in front of us, it wasn't a cavalry, but a large herd of wild horses. At the forefront of the horse herd, a majestic red horse with a coat as red as blood was galloping at incredible speed, its four hooves flying through the air like lightning.

  Under the sunlight, a body full of explosive power, hair scattered like silk with fluorescent light, like a flowing fire. On top of the dragon's neck and bird-like head, a pair of gemstone-like eyes, shining deeply, revealing a kind of pride and arrogance.

  At this moment, although he had already seen Liu Zhang and the others, the horse still showed no intention of stopping, its mane fluttering in the wind, its tail raised high as if it were a proud king, calmly and proudly surveying its own territory and subjects.
