Chapter 448: Azure Waiting for the Rain
The wooden bridge is not wide, and it is impossible for 5,000 tigers and leopards to rush into it at one time, and it is only possible to rush into a group of people at a time. There is Zhang Fei guarding the bridge, and crossing the bridge is not so simple. Knowing that the plan was useless, Zhang Fei no longer let more than 100 riders run in the forest, but shouted loudly, and let more than 100 riders come to the bridge to defend the bridge.
The more than 100 cavalry were all routed, and they couldn't parry a few rounds in front of the tiger and leopard cavalry, but Zhang Fei was brave and alone, and the huge power of a spear in front of the bridge could not be stopped even by the tiger and leopard cavalry, and Cao Chun could only contain Zhang Fei with his soldiers behind him, so that his soldiers and horses could cross the river.
However, since this time, the wooden bridge was jammed with people, and it was impossible to pass at all, so most of Cao's army could only wait on the other side of the river.
The battle lasted all night, and the fighting by the river did not stop when the sky was already dark.
"Dang!" The long knife in Cao Chun's hand and Zhang Fei's spearhead clashed again, and what he held in his hand was also a treasure knife, but after this night's fighting, countless openings had been opened on the edge of the knife.
The spear in Zhang Fei's hand was even more unbearable, and it was about to break, but it still creaked and supported.
After a confrontation, Cao Chun took a step back, his tiger's mouth was shocked and numb, and he was secretly shocked that this Zhang Fei was really brave. After this night of hard fighting, there is still so much strength.
Several spears came from behind Zhang Fei, and several tiger and leopard cavalry rushed towards him.
The more than 100 horsemen behind him had already died cleanly, the silent corpse was lying with swords on the side, and the war horse under him had already died aside. Zhang Fei's armor was shattered, and countless wounds made him almost a bloody man.
He still stood at the mouth of the bridge and stopped most of Cao's army outside the bridge. But he had no strength left, his chest heaved heavily, and all he could make with his head down was muffled gasps.
Sensing the chill approaching behind him, Zhang Fei once again held his spear.
"Ahh He opened his mouth and let out another roar. The roar of the earth slowed the tiger and leopard riders who rushed behind them a little, and the spear swung in the cold wind.
Only this time, instead of swinging at the comer, he swung at the bridge in front of him.
"Not good." Cao Chun's eyes shrank and shouted, "Stop him!" ”
At the same time, he once again urged the horse to step forward to stop Zhang Fei, but it was too late.
"Bang!!"
With a thud, the spear slammed into the bridge, and this time the spear finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke into two pieces.
At the same time, a log that held the bridge stable was also broken, and dozens of cavalry stood on the bridge, feeling the bridge under their feet, and the horses panicked.
Without support, the men and horses on the bridge were in chaos again, and the wooden bridge groaned and collapsed into the river. Together with the cavalry on the bridge, they fell into the river and were swept away by the river.
"Thorn!"
Two flesh-piercing sounds, two spears pierced Zhang Fei's chest from behind, and the battle finally fell.
"Tread, step, step." Cao Chun's horse slowly stopped, and stopped beside Zhang Feidi, who was holding a broken spear.
Looking at the broken bridge and the tiger and leopard riders on the other side of the broken bridge who have not yet been able to come, it will be at least noon today to rebuild a wooden bridge that can pass people and horses.
This time Liu Bei was different from before, he just withdrew lightly with hundreds of men and horses, and if they could only cross the river at noon, I am afraid they would not be able to catch up.
"Why bother?"
Facing the broken bridge, Cao Chun asked helplessly.
Zhang Fei's body was shaky, and the two spears on his chest were still dripping blood.
The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked weakly, and a word was struggling to spit out in his hoarse throat.
"Do you feel that you have no regrets in this life?"
Cao Chun turned his head to look at Zhang Fei, ignored him, and ordered at the tiger and leopard horse.
"Cut down trees and build bridges, cross the river as soon as possible!"
The cavalry troops around Zhang Fei gradually dispersed.
Zhang Fei raised some lowered eyes, blood left on the corners of his mouth, and chuckled and whispered.
"I have no regrets."
Before the emperor and queen, at the moment when the three brothers bowed, at the moment when the spirits entered the throat, and at the moment when the flowers flew all over the garden.
He knew that he had no regrets in this life.
······
Zhao Yun caught up with Liu Bei and learned that his wife was no longer there, and when Liu Bei took over the infant child, his hands trembled a little. In this troubled world, he has really lost too much, but why the Han family is still far away.
Holding the child in his arms, Liu Bei had a bitter smile on his face, stretched out his finger and touched his face.
"Why aren't you looking for a better home?"
When Liu Bei led everyone to the riverside, Guan Yu had already led a fleet of naval troops waiting by the river.
Liu Bei did not get on the boat, but asked Guan Yu to accompany him to wait by the river, Guan Yu asked him why, but Liu Bei didn't say a word.
He couldn't see his third brother left and right, and he had a bad feeling in his heart, so he went to ask the white-clothed young man beside Liu Bei, and the white-clothed young man told him about it.
Knowing the beginning and the end, Guan Yu was silent, there was no pathos or indignation in his expression, he just calmly walked behind Liu Bei, who was sitting by the river, and waited with his knife.
The white-clothed young man sighed, ordered a few scouts to explore the surrounding area, and once he found Cao Jun chasing him, he immediately reported it.
Until late in the evening, there was no one on the road, and a bird flew down from the dead tree on the side of the road, chirped a few times, and flew away towards the river.
The river was surging, and the scout came back to report that a Cao army was chasing from another road, led by a white-clothed general wearing a hat.
The white-clothed young man was slightly stunned when he heard these two words.
A strategist stepped forward to persuade Liu Bei to get on the boat and leave, there was no need to wait any longer.
Liu Bei looked at the road for a while, nodded, and staggered to his feet and walked towards the boat.
The young man in white thought for a while, as if he had made his own plans, and bowed to Liu Bei and said.
"Lord, I hope to wait here for a while, please go first, I have an old relationship with the general of the Cao army who is chasing, and I want to talk about it."
Liu Bei looked at him, half loud, and asked, "Does the military advisor have his own grasp?" ”
"Well, my lord don't worry." The young man in white replied very affirmatively, which also reassured Liu Bei.
Raising his hand, he grabbed the young man's hand and clenched it.
"Then the military adviser take care, I am waiting for you in Jiangxia."
The fleet drove away, and although the young man repeatedly assured that it would be fine, when Liu Bei left, he still let Zhao Yun stay to protect him.
There was only one boat left on the riverside, and a small boat was put down on the boat, and Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun sat on it and docked the boat on the riverside and waited.
After waiting for too long, it was drizzling in the sky, and the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River were not enough to wet people's clothes, with a trace of coolness fluttering in the breeze.
The river was rippling, making the boat occasionally sway, and the hem of the white-clothed young man's clothes moved lightly, looking into the distance. At the end of the road, a group of men and horses came in the drizzle.
