Chapter 076: The Battle of Changbanpo

Zhang Fei was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "How can this fight? As soon as Cao Cao's army comes, what should I do? Big brother, some ordinary people can't take them away, send them back." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Bei said: "Third brother, send it back? Do you want to send the people back to wait for death?"

Liu Bei asked to take the people to the direction of Xiangyang, and the adults and children cried and walked, and the sound came out hundreds of miles. Finally walked to the city of Xiangyang, Liu Bei looked up, only to see that the city gate was closed, the drawbridge was pulled up, and the antler village and the thistle terrestris were planted outside the city;

Liu Bei shouted: "The general of the city, I am Liu Bei." Please tell the county magistrate Liu Cong, and ask him to open the city gate and bring the people of Fancheng and Xinye into the city. ”

There were soldiers in the city who went to report it, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun came to the city to take a look. Zhang Yun said: "Governor, is it to open the city to let these people in?"

"Slow! General Zhang, behind the common people are Liu Bei's soldiers. As soon as we opened the city gate, the common people came in, and Liu Bei's army took this opportunity to come to the city.

Liu Bei waited for a long time, but no one opened the city gate. Liu Bei was anxious: "Open the city gate and let the people in!"

Cai Mao gritted his teeth: "Shoot at Liu Bei!"

There was a banging sound in the city, and random arrows were fired at Liu Bei. Zhang Fei rotated the big gun in his hand and fired a quick arrow. Liu Bei's horse lined up a few steps back, and then saw that it was Cai Mao who commanded the archery at the head of the city, Liu Bei clenched his fists and arched his hand: "General Cai, please have mercy on the people of Jingxiang, open the city gate and take them into the city." ”

Cai Mao sneered slightly: "Liu Bei, do you want to take the opportunity to trick me into opening the city gate?

There was a general at the head of the city, and suddenly he looked similar to Guan Yu, with a face like a heavy jujube, he was Wei Yan, a general under Liu Biao. Wei Yan saw that Cai Mao didn't open the city gate, and pointed at Cai Mao: "Cai Mao, so many people are outside the city, why don't you open the city gate?"

Wei Yan raised his sword and ran to the city gate, and cut down the soldiers watching the drawbridge. Wei Yan also had more than a hundred personal soldiers under him, and all of them did it. When the drawbridge fell, Wei Yan and his men ran down from the horse road, saddled the stirrup and got on the horse, hacked the soldiers guarding the gate, cut off the rope, and opened the city gate.

Wei Yan shouted: "Hurry up and enter the city!"

Zhuge Liang saw that this was a very rare opportunity, and hurriedly came to Liu Bei's side: "Lord, please order the troops to enter Xiangyang, if you don't enter the city at this time, it will be too late for you to regret it, take this opportunity to occupy Jingzhou." ”

Zhang Fei said: "The military advisor is right, the eldest brother comes with me, and the younger brother takes the lead in Xiangyang, kills Liu Cong, and makes my brother the lord of Jingzhou forever." ”

Liu Bei's woman's kindness couldn't decide for a long time: "Liu Cong is the son of my sect brother Liu Biao, I was desperate at the beginning, it was Liu Biao who took me in, and now that Liu Biao is dead, how can I be ungrateful, kill his son, and take Jingzhou for myself?"

"There is no master here, there is a place to stay. Let us get out of here and lead the people on their way south. ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: The world is big, where are you going to flee to?

Liu Biao died of illness, and the second son Liu Cong surrendered without a fight after ascending the throne, but he did not dare to inform Liu Bei of the matter. Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to take this opportunity to attack Liu Cong and occupy Jingzhou, so as to take the city to resist Cao's army, but Liu Bei finally couldn't bear to take Jingzhou because Jingzhou was Liu Biao's foundation. Many people in Jingzhou abandoned Liu Cong and took refuge with Liu Bei, and more than 100,000 people were willing to flee with Liu Bei.

Someone persuaded Liu Bei to abandon them and march forward lightly, but Liu Bei said: "If you want to achieve great things, you must be people-oriented, and the people are attached to me today, how can I bear to abandon them and go?" So he led the crowd to continue to flee south, but the march was very slow. On the other hand, Liu Bei sent Guan Yu to lead the naval army and set off from the waterway to Jiangling.

When Cao Cao heard the news of Liu Bei's escape, he was afraid that Liu Bei would occupy Jiangling first, so he sent Cao Chun to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to attack Jiangling and catch up with Liu Bei's army near Dangyang.

Cao Cao sent Cao Chun to lead 5,000 cavalry, known as the world's sharp tiger and leopard cavalry, to pursue Liu Beijun, Liu Beijun and the people more than 100,000 people, food baggage, slow march, Cao Jun tiger and leopard riding in Dangyang Changhan slope to catch up with Liu Beijun, although Liu Beijun has the public, but the armored soldiers are few, quickly defeated by Cao Cao's army, in the panic, Liu Bei only led Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and other dozens of horses to escape.

Zhao Yun was responsible for protecting Liu Bei's family, in the fierce battle, Gan, Mi and the two wives and the little master Adou, but were scattered by the chaotic army, Zhao Yun was anxious, ashamed that he could not achieve the task, and he had no shame to see Liu Bei again, and resolutely made up his mind that he must find the master mother and the little master, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life.

Zhao Yun reflexively fought bravely and then entered the formation to look around, only to see the sword light and sword shadow, people shouting horses neighing, Zhao Yun galloped back and forth, and finally found Mrs. Gan in the crowd, killed a bloody road, and escorted Mrs. Gan to Changhan Slope. Zhao Yun kept going, and turned back to find Mrs. Mi and Adou.

On the battlefield, where the smoke and dust started, Cao Cao's troops led Xia Houen to block the way, Zhao Yun was like a tiger into the flock, stabbed Xia Houen to death with one shot, and grabbed the Qinghong sword that was as sharp as clay, and single-handedly crisscrossed the army.

Suddenly, I saw Mrs. Mi's pale face, hugging Adou and curling under the broken corner. Zhao Yun knelt on the ground and urged Mrs. Mi to hurry up and escape for her life, Mrs. Mi stood up with tears in her eyes, handed Adou to Zhao Yun, and told him to take good care of him. At this time, Zhao Yun found that Mrs. Mi had been shot in the leg, and the blood did not stop, so he hurriedly took Adou.

Mrs. Mi thought that being seriously injured would only drag everyone down, and urged Zhao Yun to go first with tears. Zhao Yun couldn't bear to leave his mother, seeing that Cao Cao's soldiers were surging like a tide, Mrs. Mi jumped into a well next to her and committed suicide.

Zhao Yun was so grief-stricken that he knocked down the earthen wall and buried the well, tied Adou to his chest, covered him in his battle robe, and mounted his horse with a gun. Cao Cao's general Zhang He thought that it was a rare opportunity, and stabbed Zhao Yun in the back with a spear in his hand. In a desperate moment, I saw a red light rushing out of the pit, and Zhao Yunlian jumped out of the pit with his horse and miraculously dodged a fatal shot, which frightened Zhang He into a daze.

At this time, Cao Cao was on the hill, and saw Zhao Yun galloping in the army from a distance, as if entering a no-man's land, and ordered Zhao Yun to be captured alive, so that Zhao Yun had the opportunity to fight with all his strength.

In the middle of running, Liu Bei lost the news of Zhao Yun, and someone told Liu Bei at that time that Zhao Yun had surrendered to Cao Cao, but Liu Bei did not believe it, and waved a short halberd to hit the person who spread the rumors, saying: "Zilong will never abandon me." ”

At the same time, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to go to the broken back, and Zhang Fei gathered more than 20 cavalry to go to the broken back of the longboard bridge. At this time, Zhao Yun was not lost in a panic, but turned around and killed back to Cao Jun, to find Liu Bei's wife, Zhao Yun single-handedly, not afraid of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding, although Liu Bei's two daughters were lost, but finally found Liu Bei's wife Mrs. Gan and young son Liu Chan rescued them and were able to reunite with Liu Bei.

Zhao Yun rushed left and right in the chaotic army, fought all day, and came to the Changsaka Bridge on the Han River exhausted, only to hear the sound of killing behind the sky, and the Cao army gradually approached. Zhao Yunzheng felt frightened, looked up, and saw Zhang Fei standing on the bridge alone, Zhao Yun kept blurting out: "Brother Zhang, please stop me!"

"Hurry up, I'll stop him for a while!" Zhang Fei said.

It was too late, it was fast, not long after Zhao Yun had just crossed the Changsaka Bridge, several generals such as Wen Ping, Xiahoudun, Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Xu Chu had already led the army to arrive, and batches of Cao soldiers were like a wave of endless streams, but as soon as everyone saw Zhang Feinong's upside down, holding a spear in his hand, like an evil ghost, and seeing the dust rising on the other side of the bridge, he thought: "I'm afraid this is Kong Ming's trick again, it's best to consult Prime Minister Cao Cheng first." ”

Cao Jun suddenly stopped, and tens of thousands of horses were crowded into a pile, forming a team.

Soon Cao Cao arrived in person, and Zhang Fei shouted: "Yan Zhang Yide is here, who dares to fight me to the death?"

At this roar, Cao Bing was startled, and their faces turned blue. Cao Cao whispered: "I once heard Guan Yu say that his third brother Zhang Fei is strong in martial arts and has the courage to be invincible, so he needs special vigilance. ”

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei shouted again, and one of the generals beside Cao Cao, whose frightened hands and feet were weak, his liver and gallbladder were shattered, and he fell off his horse. When Cao Cao fled, the whole army was immediately in chaos, and everyone panicked and fled backwards together.

Afterwards, Zhang Fei was afraid that Cao Jun would reorganize the army and fight again in the coming day, so he ordered someone to burn the longboard bridge to delay time.

On the longboard bridge, Zhang Fei, with his extraordinary wisdom and extraordinary courage, broke the bridge according to the water, showed angry eyes, held the spear horizontally, and shouted loudly, no one in Cao's army dared to advance, and Liu Bei's troops were spared.

Cao Chun performed well in this battle, not only capturing Liu Bei's two daughters, but also gaining a large number of civilians and baggage, and incorporating Liu Bei's defeated troops.

Although Liu Bei suffered heavy losses, with the efforts of Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei, the core of the army still existed, Liu Bei judged the situation, gave up the plan to transfer to Jiangling, and went to Jiangxia instead, and at this time Guan Yu led the naval army to meet Liu Bei, and with the help of Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, Liu Bei was able to live in Jiangxia.
