At this time, Liu Ping's convoy was in a valley, and two rows of black-clad archers appeared on the peaks of the mountains on both sides, with more than 1,000 people.

At the sound of the order, everyone drew their bows like a full moon, and the locusts shot down like a shower.

Almost everyone is aiming at "Liu Ping" who is riding a Dawan horse, even if he is good, it is impossible to avoid such a dense rain of arrows.

Poor Cheng Gongying didn't react yet, he was already hit by dozens of arrows, fell off the horse, and died of anger.

The big horse also turned into a hedgehog in an instant, roared, ran a few steps forward and fell to the ground.

The rain of arrows on both sides was still falling.

"Don't panic, form a formation, protect the lord!" Tai Shi Ci shouted loudly while striking the feather arrow with his spear.

It's a pity that they went to Yecheng to celebrate their birthday, and they carried very few shields and other defensive things, but they didn't expect to encounter an ambush by archers here, and they couldn't resist the attack of arrow rain if they wanted to form a formation.

"Great mercy, back off, back off!" Liu Ping, who was in the carriage, was covering the wounds on Lu Qi's body while yelling outside the car.

Fortunately, his carriage was made of fine wood, and his bow and arrow could not penetrate it.

At this time, he couldn't help but rejoice, but he didn't expect his wife to be coquettish on the road and let him enter the carriage to accompany him, but it happened to save his life.

Otherwise, if he had ridden Dawan horse just now, I am afraid that he would have become a hedgehog by this time.

In the end, Cheng Gongying died on his behalf.

"Withdraw, withdraw!" Tai Shi Ci roared, commanding the soldiers to turn around and retreat backwards.

Although the two horses on Liu Ping's carriage were hit by two arrows, they were not injured in critical parts, but the coachman had already been shot to death, so the cart only spun in place.

At this time, Ma Chaofei jumped in front of the carriage, pulled up the reins, forcibly turned the horse's head, and shouted: "Drive! Drive! Drive! ”

At last the carriage followed the road from which it had come, and galloped back.

The carriage was speeding on this rugged mountain road, and Liu Ping and the women in the carriage were naturally upside down, but no one dared to complain at this time.

After escaping for about three or five miles, he finally escaped from the range of the archers.

Liu Ping lifted the curtain and saw that all the generals were embarrassed.

Xu Huang, Ma Chao, Pang De and others naturally have the ability to dodge and push away the flying feather arrows, but ordinary soldiers cannot.

They were supposed to be protected by a thousand soldiers, but less than a hundred escaped by this time, and most of them were wounded.

"Can you see who the ambush is?" Liu Ping gritted his teeth and glanced behind him.

For so long, he has always been calculating others, and he has never encountered such a dangerous thing, but this time he actually lost his troops and even shot Dawan Ma to death.

How can such a loss be eaten in vain?

"I only saw that they were all dressed in black, and I couldn't tell which side of the horses it was," Tai Shici said: "It's just that I heard them shout, and the person who specializes in shooting Dawan's horse is obviously premeditated." ”

"This is not pure nonsense," Ma Chao said, "Since you are waiting here to ambush, it is naturally premeditated." ”

"Maybe you're running into a bandit and preparing to rob your money?" Tai Shi Ci was angry and forceful.

"You Tai Shi Ci is also a battle-hardened battle, have you ever seen a bandit family that can gather so many archers? And what bandit has such a strong arrow array? Ma Chao sneered and said: "This is obviously a well-trained regular army, and maybe in order to arrange this ambush, it has been practiced for a long time." ”

"Who could it be?"

Ma Chao's words reminded Liu Ping that now that the army is in chaos, there are many people in the world who can gather more than 1,000 people, and many wealthy families have more than 1,000 people.

But if you can train a thousand elite archers, it is definitely something that a certain prince can do.

At present, the remaining princely forces include Sun Quan in Jiangdong, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and some small separatist regimes in a variety of ways.

However, Liu Ping asked himself that he did not have any bitter enmity with these forces, and they could not commit such an ambush and assassination.

"Could it be him?" Liu Ping pinched his chin and groaned, thinking of someone in his heart.

At this time, Liu Bei, who lived in Xinye.

If you want to talk about the motive for killing, Liu Bei definitely has it.

After all, it was Liu Ping who single-handedly stole Liu Bei's Xuzhou, and Liu Ping also arrested Liu Bei's two wives.

Among the two ladies, Mrs. Gan was already pregnant with Liujia at that time, and later gave birth to a son in Xudu, which is also Liu Bei's only son at present.

If you want to say that Liu Bei doesn't hate him to death, he is out of the ghost.

Although Liu Bei lived in Xinye at this time, and his soldiers and horses were only about two or three thousand, in order to arrange this ambush, he deliberately trained a thousand archers, but he was completely able to do it.

……

At this time, in the valley ahead, the corpses of Liu Ping's Guanzhong soldiers were all over the field.

Zhang Fei rode a war horse and led a sentry of men and horses to slowly walk over.

When he got closer, his eyes were slightly confused, the spear in his hand pointed forward, and sneered: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using soldiers for a while, Da Wanma is here, and the person next to him is Liu Ping?" ”

At the beginning, their brothers fled from Xuzhou in a hurry and defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

But although Liu Biao is also a member of the Han family, he is very wary of heroes like Liu Bei.

In addition, most of the real power in Jingzhou was in the hands of the Cai clan, and the Liu Bei brothers did not live well in Jingzhou, Liu Biao only gave him only 3,000 people, and sent him to live in Xinye County.

Fortunately, Liu Bei met Zhao Yun on the way to Jingzhou, and invited Zhuge Liang in Xinye, and his strength was strengthened a lot.

Liu Bei in Xinye didn't want to avenge the original arrow all the time, so he secretly trained an archer, which came in handy today.

At this time, Zhang Bao behind Zhang Fei jumped off the horse, lifted the Dawan horse away, turned over the corpse, and frowned slightly: "Father, this person doesn't look very old, but is this Liu Ping?" ”

Although these people hate Liu Ping to the core, no one has seen what Liu Ping looks like, but they have heard rumors that he is a weak and weak image.

"Invite that person out," Zhang Fei waved his hand.

After a while, a man in black rode slowly from behind.

The man was wearing a hat, and the edge of the hat was also surrounded by a black veil, and it was impossible to see what his face looked like.

"This is not Liu Ping," said the man in black.

"Who is this?" Zhang Fei asked.

"I don't know, it should be a subordinate officer recruited by Liu Ping in Guanzhong," the man in black said: "Liu Ping is in the carriage, and Cao Jie is naturally there." ”

"Not dead? Count that little child's life as big," Zhang Fei snorted, "That's just right, if you catch Liu Ping and his wife alive, you can just ask Cao Thief to change back to the eldest brother's family, especially that nephew." ”

For Liu Bei, killing Liu Ping is secondary, and catching Cao Jie for his son is the ultimate goal.

Since Liu Ping is not dead, he is more certain that he will exchange hostages after being captured alive.

"Father, Liu Ping has escaped, should we hurry up and chase after him?" Zhang Bao said urgently.

"Don't panic, there is someone in front of me to stop me, I will continue to ambush here, but I want to see if he can fly into the sky," Zhang Fei said unhurriedly.
