System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Don't let them get away, chase them!"

Dong Yu galloped on his horse, pointing the golden stick in his hand forward.

Three thousand Flying Bear soldiers followed closely behind him.

However, because they were armored cavalry, the weight of their armor greatly limited the speed of their war horses.

At the same time, not only are they slower in speed, but their endurance is also far inferior to that of light cavalry.

"Damn it! When we go back this time, we must form a light cavalry!"

Dong Yu swore secretly as he looked at his own cavalry, which was still losing ground despite the distance getting closer.

Apart from the 10,000 war horses traded, there are still quite a few left. Together with the spare war horses in the army, it should be no problem to form a light cavalry of 3,000.

Otherwise, if this situation happens again, won’t you just be left behind and eating dust?

Tens of thousands of troops fled hurriedly to the east.

Smoke and dust rose up, and there was a loud roar.

"Are the enemy still pursuing us?"

Zhang Xun glanced at Qiao Rui and asked.

"The main army didn't come, but a 3,000-man detachment did."

Qiao Rui shook his head and added.

"Crazy!!!"

"Three thousand men chasing our 40,000-strong army?"

Zhang Xun's face turned red and he shouted angrily.

"It's the three thousand heavy cavalry."

Qiao Rui's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Zhang Xun's eyelids twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but look back at his troops.

Each soldier was wearing military uniform, without even a piece of armor on his body.

Only some generals of a hundred men, military commanders, and lieutenant generals wore crotch guards or standard armor.

"Oh, keep running."

Zhang Xun's anger immediately died down.

Even though the enemy only had 3,000 heavy cavalry, they really were unable to fight them head-on.

They didn't know that this big man actually had someone who could produce three thousand heavily armored cavalry.

With the money for these 3,000 heavy cavalry, wouldn't it be great to build an army of 50,000 or 60,000?

You know, most of the soldiers nowadays are not wearing armor.

You heard it right, the rate of soldiers wearing armor in the late Han Dynasty did not exceed 10%.

Even if they wear armor, that armor is only the crotch armor that can protect the front chest.

One can imagine what the concept of these 3,000 heavy cavalry is.

Without the help of the system, the Feixiong Army under Dong Zhuo would be just soldiers wearing crotch armor.

Even so, he is already considered an elite.

Fortunately, the heavy cavalry lacked endurance. After chasing for a while, they finally killed a few stragglers of Yuan's army. Then they had to stop to rest and stuff some hay into the horses' mouths.

"General, we can't chase them anymore. We've already gone sixty miles and it's already dark."

Wen Pin hurriedly reminded Dong Yu.

"We are tired, and the enemy is tired too."

"The infantry fled for sixty or seventy miles in one breath, and their physical strength had already reached its limit."

"Chase again!!"

Dong Yu got back on his horse and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong and other generals had no choice but to ride their horses and continue to catch up.

This chase lasted for two days and one night.

Dong Yu led his troops to pursue the enemy and had not returned yet, which made Zhang Xiu, Xu Huang and other generals extremely uneasy.

"What should I do? It's been more than a day."

Zhang Xiu paced back and forth with an uneasy look on his face.

The battlefield has been cleared and more than 10,000 enemy prisoners have been taken.

Of the 10,000 troops under Guo Fan's command, only more than 2,000 wounded soldiers were left. Even the commander Guo Fan was seriously injured and could only lie in the city to recuperate.

We definitely need people here, otherwise if more than 10,000 prisoners mutinied, that would be no joke.

"How about I take someone with me?"

"I'll follow the horseshoe prints. If you get into trouble, I can provide support."

Li Tong looked at the few people and made a suggestion.

"That's all it can do."

Xu Huang nodded and looked at Zhang Xiu in agreement.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Li."

Zhang Xiu nodded heavily and bowed to Li Tong.

"It doesn't matter!"

"I will lead the troops forward."

Li Tong smiled and left the tent immediately.

At this time, Yanzhou had not yet fallen into the hands of Boss Cao.

Cao Cao had just returned from Yangzhou after recruiting soldiers, and then he experienced another major change in his life. All the Danyang soldiers he had recruited with great difficulty ran away.
