Chapter 252: The Fierce Battle by the Zhangshui River

As soon as Liu Bei heard Xiang Lang's words, he knew that it was Tao Qian and Liu Dai from the five schools who passed in front of him, but there was a doubt in his heart, it had been nearly two months since his two armies set off from Chenliu, why had they just crossed the river?

Looking at the two scribes in front of him, Zhengse asked, "It turned out to be my colleague, but I don't know why I just crossed the river now, according to the time, the two of them should have already joined the army of Huangfu Song~~~ Could it be that they were also blocked by this river?" ”。

Xiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Xuande Gong should be considered to have guessed most of the right, the two captains have stayed here for more than a month, but they were blocked by the river, and it is precisely because of this that the two of us are fortunate to know the name of Xuande Gong."

"Why do you say most of it?" Liu Bei politely arched his hand and asked.

At this time, Han Song next to him responded, "The two captains were blocked by the river, and they also found a way for the two of us to explore their way to cross the river, so we gave them an idea, from here ten miles to the north, there is a shoal ~~~."

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Oh? So, they waded through the shallows? ”。

"Hehe~~~ It is said that it is a shoal~~ At such a time, the water is waist-deep, and it is impossible to wade through, but they have a large number of horses, but they can build a pontoon bridge, and this project has been repaired in only half a month."

"I see~~~ That's great, but the pontoon is still there?" Liu Bei asked with joy in his heart.

Xiang Lang nodded, "It's still there, Captain Tao said that he might still use it when he came back, so he didn't dismantle it, but with the sturdiness of the pontoon bridge, I'm afraid it can last for three or five months~~~ It's good."

"Enough is enough~~~ I'm worried that I can't cross the river, God really helps me~~~ Oh, by the way, since the pontoon bridge has been repaired in half a month, why are they reluctant to cross the river?" Liu Bei was overjoyed, applauded repeatedly, and then remembered the matter of the two captains, and couldn't help asking.

Xiang Lang Han Song shook his head at the same time, "We don't know this, they have been discussing with each other for a long time, and they don't know what they are discussing, every time they talk about it, they are behind our backs, and it is inconvenient for us to ask about the military aircraft, so what is the reason, it is not for us to know."

Liu Bei secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that the matter of the Yuan family made them hesitate?" It's really possible", but it's already far away, and it has nothing to do with himself, so he smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for telling each other, Liu Bei is grateful, I will lead the army across the river, and the two will meet again."

"Xuande Gong is slow~~~" Xiang Lang suddenly spoke to stop him, hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know if Xuande Gong will go to Jizhou to fight thieves with Huangfu Song?" ”。

Liu Bei was stunned in his heart, remembering that he was being chased and killed so far, I am afraid that it will not be long before the chasing soldiers arrive, and the two of them are afraid that they will be affected by the time, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "There is another important matter, but it is really necessary to see General Huangfu first, and in addition~~~ I am afraid that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, the person who pursues me will arrive later, and the two gentlemen are afraid that there will be danger here, so it is better to cross the river with me."

"This is exactly what I want to say, I heard that Xuande Gong is generous and righteous, and the two of us are trying to accompany me left and right, but I don't know what else Xuande Gong has to do besides suppressing thieves?" Xiang Lang heard Liu Bei's invitation, his heart was also excited, he had studied hard since he was a child, but he had no way to work, and his friend Han Song had to drift around, and the Yellow Turban turmoil was even more scattered here and stealing his life.

Liu Bei saw that the two of them intended to assist, and said frankly at the moment, "I can't hide it, I was injured internally when I fled, and I was still hanging myself with medicine at this time.

At the moment, he told Dong Zhuo about the conspiracy to disrupt the government and assassinate Lu Zhi, and he could hear Xiang Lang and the others breathe cold air, "This Dong Zhuo is so vicious, Lu Zhonglang will escort the murdered back to the capital, this time, I am afraid that there will be more luck and less luck."

"As long as I find General Huangfu, the teacher will definitely be saved, and there is also someone from the Luoyang General to report the news, and the teacher's life should be worry-free."

"That's good~~~ Lu Zhonglang will be loyal to the country, and he was even framed by a traitor, it is really intolerable, Xuande Gong is righteous, thousands of miles to save the teacher, we also admire in our hearts, and the two of us will be under the account of Xuande and wait for dispatch."

Liu Bei smiled, stepped forward to support the two who were about to bow down and said, "It is my Liu Bei's blessing to have two gentlemen to help each other, without further ado, let's leave now."

The two of them simply packed their bags and set off with Liu Bei, and sure enough, as they said, the herald reported that there was a pontoon bridge ten miles away, which was for the army to cross the river, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to set off, and five hundred cavalry guards rushed to the pontoon bridge.

"The general ~~ found Liu Bei's remnants in front of him and was crossing the river ~~~".

"What? How did they get across the river~~" Niu Fu was taken aback, he calculated that Zhangshui would be sad, even if he found one or two boats temporarily, it would be impossible to get so many people at once.

The spies reported that "there was a pontoon bridge ten miles away for some reason, and they were now crossing the river from the pontoon bridge".

"Fuck, don't say it soon~~~ chase me, you must not let them escape!!" Niu Fu gave an order, and the army galloped up and rushed towards the pontoon bridge.

Liu Bei and others were examining the turbulent river water on the edge of the pontoon bridge at this time, only to see that the pontoon bridge was about two meters wide and narrow, less than a foot away from the river surface.

"Let's just go over like this, although it's not too strong, but since they can get by, there is no reason why we can't get by" Liu Bei looked at the opposite bank, there are still two ropes connected on both sides of the pontoon bridge, since there is a landing point, it should be more reliable.

"Xuande Gong will come first, I'll come later~~~" Xiang Lang smiled slightly and said casually.

Liu Bei did not shirk, and took the lead in pulling the horse and tapping towards the opposite bank, naturally there were already people in front of him, and Liu Bei was more at ease.

At this moment, suddenly a military horn came from behind him, "woo ~~~~~~~", the shouting of killing suddenly spread, the sound of military horses galloping from far and near, and the warriors on horseback were all holding war knives and shouting loudly to kill.

"Not good! How did you come so fast~~~ Xuande Gong hurry up, here we are blocking "Chen Zhi suddenly woke up, the exploration horse he sent out had not come back for a long time, he felt strange, but now that he thinks about it, he must have been ambushed.

"Get on the horse, prepare for the battle~~~" Chen Zhi shouted, turned over on his mount, and commanded the cavalry guards to prepare for the battle, Chen Heng next to him was naturally eager to try, Jiguan came out, except for ambushing and killing a forward sentinel, there was no formal battle at all, this time he could finally start killing, and he had a rough personality and couldn't bear it for a long time.

"The two gentlemen can escort the lord first, and we will chase after the enemy army is blocked," Chen Zhi turned back to Xiang Lang and said.

Xiang Lang nodded, and was about to turn around and go to the bridge, when he suddenly turned around and shouted, "General Chen, Ding Yuan has always been friendly with General Lu Zhonglang, if the general can't catch up, you can go to Ding Yuan to inform him first, and there are many people to help, the general is careful."

"I know~~~ After Mr. leaves, let's dismantle the pontoon~~~" Chen Zhi didn't look back, and responded and rushed up directly.

Xiang Lang and Han Song were moved for a while, although they had first met Chen Zhi, but this person's loyalty was extraordinary, and it seemed that they had made up their minds and made a detour.

Liu Bei hurriedly crossed the river, turned around and looked, only to see Xiang Han and the two people also running over after him, looking at his two body methods, he must also have martial arts, but he didn't know the depth, as soon as the two of them crossed the river, Xiang Lang raised his hand is a knife, and he was cutting on the pontoon rope.

"Bang~~" The rope broke in response, the whole pontoon bridge tilted down, Xiang Lang was about to raise his hand to cut it down, Liu Bei hurriedly rushed over and hugged him and shouted, "Juda, why is this?" Uncle they haven't come over yet~~."

"Xuande Gong, don't hesitate, General Chen has already made up his mind to detour, Xuande Gong's life is at stake, this pontoon bridge must not be left" After saying that, Han Song gave Han Song a look, and the two of them understood, Han Song took out his saber, and the rope was cut in two sections.

"There are wooden stakes below~~~" Xiang Lang looked at the pontoon bridge lying crookedly on the water, constantly impacted by the river, but it just didn't collapse, and hurriedly shouted at the moment.

Han Song shook his head and said, "It's too late, we don't have time to dismantle the stakes, but with the power of the river, it won't take long to be washed away, let's go quickly", the two pulled Liu Bei, together with the two soldiers who were exploring the road in front, and immediately got on their mounts and galloped away.

At this time, Niu Fu Dong Yue on the opposite side had already led the army to rush over, and when he saw Liu Bei on the opposite side fleeing, he shouted, "Liu Bei fled again, it's really damn!" ”。

"The general doesn't need to worry, the pontoon bridge hasn't collapsed yet, and when the last general goes to kill this thief, none of them can escape~~" Behind him, Hua Xiong suddenly found that there were still sections of pontoon bridges floating on the water, and immediately thought that the other party had no time to dismantle it, and immediately laughed and shouted. At the same time, his body burst into flames, walking on the ground in the midst of the army, and fell straight towards the pontoon.

"Don't succeed!" A loud shout came, a cold light flashed in the air, and Chen Dao's steel gun stabbed in an instant, the Chen family's mastery was extraordinary, this shot used eight successful forces, and went straight to Huaxiong to stab head-on.

Hua Xiong was taken aback, he didn't expect that there were masters in the opponent's army, although he seemed to be a step worse than himself, but with his skills, it was not difficult to stop himself for an hour or two.

When he was about to attack, suddenly there was another shout from behind him, "Zijian go first, I will block this person" Niu Fu's mountain knife came with the sound, just in time to exchange fire with Chen Dao's steel gun.

Hua Xiong took advantage of this opportunity, his figure flashed, and he passed directly by Chen Zhi's side, originally wanted to give him a backhand slap, but thinking that this person was not bad, if he was entangled, he was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he only glared at him fiercely, and flew towards the pontoon.

Chen Zhi was blocked by Niu Fu, it was impossible to turn around and stop Hua Xiong, and Cheng Heng's strength could not compete with Hua Xiong, and he could only resign himself to fate, fortunately the pontoon bridge at this time could only be used by people to cross the river, and the military horses could never pass, Hua Xiong could only rely on his legs even if he chased him, hoping that Liu Bei and the others could fight for breath and escape smoothly.
