Chapter 64: Reversal

Although Zhang Yu is more ambitious, he followed Zhu Di to rebel, but he didn't want to die early, "Die before leaving the school, and the prince will be full of tears." "He wouldn't do such a thing. If he dies in battle, even if the prince posthumously crowns himself king, what is the use? I still hope to get a hereditary duke, and now that the war has just started, I must protect my own life.

But Zhang Yu didn't expect that his life-saving move made Qu Neng think of other things, although Qu Neng transferred the pontoon defenders earlier, but at the same time, he also involved Ping'an. Zhang Yu's overnight stay at Chenjiahe can be said to have changed the direction of the entire campaign and made it run in a direction that Zhang Yu did not want.

At around three o'clock in the morning, Lu Fang was ordered to arrive with his troops, and at this time Qu Neng's scout cavalry also returned, but what made Qu Neng puzzled was that there was no ambush behind Zhang Yu. Qu Neng was confused, but he could only do nothing, and ordered Lu Fang to rest for an hour first, and then the whole army would assault and eliminate Zhang Yu.

When the sun rises in the east and the warm sunlight shines on the Chenjia River, a tributary of the little-known Tang River, a desperate struggle has already begun. In the face of Qu Neng's attack, Zhang Yu did not panic, but had already prepared, he did not set up the camp by the river, but set up camp one mile away from the river, and sent scout cavalry in all four directions, and agreed to use the arrow to contact, everyone in the camp, including Zhang Yu, was wearing armor and sleeping with soldiers, so when the arrow sounded, Zhang Yu immediately jumped up and ordered the cavalry to get on the horse and prepare for battle.

So when Qu Neng rushed over, Zhang Yu was already in full array, and Qu Neng was not ambiguous, and the whole army charged. Qu Neng is a brave general, Zhang Yu is not a soft persimmon, Qu Tao is unstoppable, Zhang Fu's martial arts are not low, the four of them caught and killed, and the two armies also fought in a group, for a time shouting and killing, horse neighing, screaming, weapons intersecting, bowstring sounds, etc., filled the heaven and earth, and even the Tang River water was slightly rippled because of this fighting sound.

The more Zhang Yu fought, the more he felt wrong, he found that his soldiers were much less, and he immediately reacted, Qu Neng had increased his troops, why was this guy so afraid of death, and he increased his troops from the pontoon bridge so quickly, the prince could take advantage of the weakness, but he was surrounded by nearly twice as many enemy troops, and he was afraid that there would be more than one bad luck.

But the matter has come to this, Zhang Yu has nothing else to think about, he can only fight hard, he knows that if he escapes in such a narrow place, he will only die faster. However, Zhang Yujun was indeed strong, five thousand against eight thousand, but the fight was not over until noon, and in the end, Zhang Yu was only one thousand people left to be surrounded by Qu Neng's five thousand people on the shore.

Although Qu Neng was tired and out of breath, he was extremely excited, and shouted to the remnants of Zhang Yu's heart: "Zhang Yu, you are finished, surrender quickly, this general promises not to kill you." ”

Zhang Yu looked back at Zhang Fu beside him, and then at the sergeants under him, although they were all wounded, they held their weapons tightly and regarded death as home. Zhang Yu turned his head to look, then pointed to the west, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, General Qu, you are wrong, it is not me who is finished, but you, the prince has crossed the river from the upstream and seized the pontoon bridge, and now the army has crossed the river and is coming towards us." ”

Qu Neng was shocked, looked back at the west, and it seemed that there was indeed smoke and dust floating up, he understood it after a little calculation, shook his head, and felt a little remorseful. However, he immediately came back to his senses, bowed his head and said: "Lu Fang, you take a thousand people to the upper reaches of the Chenjia River to guard to prevent the rebels from rushing over, and we are going to kill Zhang Yu quickly, and then we will go to Baoding and join General Zuo." ”

"Yes, General."

Qu Neng pulled the sword flower, and said Sen Ran: "General Ben really didn't expect that you would be a diehard loyalist of the Yanshu people, and would rather be in danger than help the main force of the rebels cross the river." In this case, I will fulfill you," Qu Neng pointed forward with his long knife and shouted: "The army obeyed the order, killed Zhang Yu, and there was a reward!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Yu was not to be outdone, and said loudly: "Qu Neng has fallen into the trap of the prince, and the reinforcements will arrive soon, we must entangle Qu Neng and prevent them from escaping, and when the prince comes, he will avenge us." As he spoke, he raised his long knife: "Kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Things are often so strange, when they know that they have fallen into the trap, most people will have no confidence, and a sense of fear of the future, so although Qu Neng's army pounced on Zhang Yu, but did not dare to go all out, and involuntarily worried about the main force of the rebels from the west, and Zhang Yu's subordinates were on the verge of death, but once they heard that they had reinforcements, they inspired infinite fighting spirit, so for a while, the two armies were inseparable.

When Qu Neng saw it, he was furious: "The army listened to the order, went all out, and killed Zhang Yu!" As he spoke, Qu Neng grabbed the horse's belly and stepped forward with a slap knife, and the troops watched the commander go into battle in person, and immediately their morale was shocked, and they rushed to kill frantically. Zhang Yujun finally couldn't support it anymore, and fled from the river, Zhang Fu was shot off his horse by Qu Tao's arrow, and fell into the Tang River, not knowing his life or death. Zhang Yu was shocked, threw Qu Neng away, and vowed to kill Qu Tao and avenge his son, but how could Qu Neng let him go? The slap horse chased closely behind.

But at this moment, there were drums behind Qu Neng, and he hurriedly turned back, only to find that a large number of cavalry had appeared in the upper reaches of the river, which broke through Lu Fang's defense line in an instant and went south along the river. Qu Neng was shocked and hurriedly ordered the whole army to line up for defense, and Zhang Yu was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of reinforcements, and ordered his subordinates to rush out and join the reinforcements. The Qu Neng army did not block, but quickly formed a formation to guard against the attack of the Yan army.

After Zhang Yu escaped, he immediately ran to Zhu Di's horse and knelt on the ground: "Lord Wang, the last general will be derelict in his duties, fortunately the prince rescued him, otherwise he will never see the prince again." ”

Zhu Di hurriedly dismounted, helped Zhang Yu up, straightened his clothes for him, and said: "Shimei, you have worked hard and worked hard, attract Qu Neng's eastern aid, and this king can defeat the pontoon defenders and lead the army across the river." This king knew that Shimei's situation was critical, so after defeating the enemy army, he immediately brought people to reinforcements, fortunately in time, otherwise this king would have regretted it for life! ”

Zhang Yu snorted and said with a cry: "Lord Wang, it's a pity that Wen Bi, Wen Bi ......"

"What's wrong with Wen Bi?" Zhu Di exclaimed that Zhang Fu was a young general he admired very much, and he would be of great use in the future.

"Wen Bi, was beaten down by Qu Neng's son Qu Tao to the Tang River, and there are no bones left!" As he spoke, Zhang Yu howled and cried.

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately ordered someone to look for him along the river, and then comforted Zhang Yu and said: "Shimei, Wen Bi may not die if he falls into the water, maybe it's okay, don't worry." ”

Zhang Yu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes, Wen Bi was only hit by an arrow, and he may not die, he may not die." ”

Seeing Zhang Yu like this, Zhu Di sighed secretly, but he also understood the other party, the pain of losing a child, sadness was inevitable. After a while, Zhu Di took Zhang Yu's arm and said, "Now that Qu Neng has been surrounded, come, this king wants to kill him to avenge Wen Bi." ”

Zhang Yu fixed his mind, but said: "Lord Wang, Qu Neng is a peerless general, and he is the henchman of today, if he can persuade him to surrender, it is better than 100,000 elite soldiers, although Wen Bi died at the hands of his son, but the last general will not dare to show favoritism, please check the prince!" ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Shimei, you are really the king's minister." Come, let's go and see with this king, if Qu can descend the best, if he insists on not surrendering, he can only kill. ”

"Okay."

At this moment, Qu Neng has become Zhang Yu's role just now, but there are more people under him, about 3,000 people, Qu Tao is by his side, but Lu Fang has fled, and he doesn't know where to go.

Qu Tao looked at the lineup of the Yan army, bowed his head and said, "Father, the number of enemies is not large, but there are about 10,000 people, and we can still rush out." ”

Qu Neng shook his head and said: "Tao'er, that's not how things matter, we have been fighting for most of the day, and we have long been sleepy, and we have only persevered until now by relying on the momentum of imminent victory." Although the rebels are also running for a long distance, their morale is high, and our army will not be able to hold out for long. ”

"The son covered his father's escape, went to Baoding to find General Ping'an, mobilized military horses, and then came back to take revenge."

"Hehe, I'm Qu able to fight all my life, it's not for a few of you, how can I let you cover my escape? Besides, even if I die, the emperor will treat you well, after all, you once saved his life. Okay, don't talk about it, after a while, my father will lead people to rush and kill, and you take the opportunity to escape. ”

"Father's ......"

"Shut up and obey orders!"

At this moment, Zhu Di took Zhang Yu to the front of the battle, looked at Qu Neng by the river, and said loudly: "General Qu, are you willing to surrender?" ”
