Cao Chun and Wen Ping led the tiger and leopard riders along the road towards Jiangling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yun led dozens of cavalry to dismount and chop firewood on the roadside mountain with a woodcutter according to Ge Liang's instructions. This is the remnant vein of Jingshan Mountain, the mountain is not high, but the forest is still lush. The sergeants cut down a lot of trees as required, removed the leaves, and sharpened the branches of all the trees, which was the defense facility when camping, called "antlers". They moved it to the middle of the road and laid it out, stretching for more than a dozen feet.

At this time, Ge Liang and Zhang Fei were ten miles behind Zhao Yun with three thousand sergeants, and they were looking for a good place to dig a pit with steep terrain and a big downhill road from the front, and then a big uphill slope. The sergeants were told to dig the pit as small and deep as possible, preferably two horseshoe shit, and the depth could be buried half a horse's leg, but it was too difficult, so everyone had to dig the pit and insert a thick wooden stick into it, and then tamp the soil with a hoe, then pull out the wooden stick, and then cover the hole with small branches and broad leaves, and finally sprinkle old sand and soil to cover it, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see that the road here has passed.

The two of them stood side by side on the top of the slope to observe, although they were about the same height, in terms of width and thickness, Ge Liang was a little worse than Zhang Fei, thinking that this guy was definitely more than two hundred catties! At the moment, he asked with a smile: "How do the three generals look at this terrain?" ”

Zhang Fei still has a set of leading troops to fight, and replied while looking around: "It's not bad, there is a horse trap in front of Cao Cao's cavalry to suffer a big loss first, and then there is an uphill slope to weaken the enemy's impact, the mountains on both sides are also a little steep, the trees are relatively dense, and the cavalry is not easy to leave the road and rush up from the hillside." If Cao Cao really sent cavalry to chase them, this place could definitely stop them. I just wondered, how can you be sure that all the cavalry he sent was sent? ”

It's all in the books! Ge Liang was secretly proud in his heart, but he said: "If Cao Cao hadn't sent cavalry to chase after him overnight, we wouldn't be afraid that he would catch up, wouldn't that be better?" ”

Zhang Fei thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Ge Liang smiled, thinking that he must let Zhang Fei show his heroic style in Nagasaka, and asked: "Third general, when Cao Jun chases after him, you will be alone at this slope top intersection, how can you shout to Cao Jun?" ”

Zhang Fei felt strange: "When the enemies meet, what is there to say, just start fighting!" Lao Tzu still has to give them a few recoil and kill them downhill. ”

"Well, don't do that." Ge Liang hurriedly waved his hand, "You should stand there and yell 'I'm Yanren Zhang Yide, who will fight me to the death'." Be sure to be loud. ”

This is simple, Zhang Fei immediately tore his throat and shouted: "I am Yanren Zhang Yide, who will fight me to the death!" "It was a thunderclap that startled the sergeants who were digging pits and chopping wood.

Ge Liang hurriedly applauded and expressed his might: "The general is really a celestial man, he only needs to shout like this three times, and Cao Jun will definitely be scared!" ”

Although he was very happy to be touted, Zhang Fei didn't believe that he could drive the enemy away in this way: "Just shouting three times in a row scared Cao Cao away?" "If that's the case, it's too easy for Lao Tzu to kill Cao Cao.

"That's it, but the third sentence should be changed to 'fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, but why', Cao Jun will definitely not dare to step forward, and will definitely take a detour." Ge Liang continued to applaud.

Zhang Fei was a little anxious when he heard this: "That's not good, if we let Cao Jun take a detour to chase after the eldest brother, wouldn't we stop here in vain?" They must be completely repulsed and killed! ”

Ge Liang's mood was also said to be heavy, this time I am afraid that Cao Jun will indeed not be deterred by Zhang Fei, the history books said that this time is mainly because Cao Jun is in a hurry to go to Jiangling, and Zhang Fei should be standing on the fork in the road to play prestige, giving people a reason and steps to ignore it, now we are going to cut off Cao Jun's way to Jiangling, it is impossible for them not to fight desperately, thinking about it like this, I am afraid that the soldiers they brought are not enough!

Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rode all the way and chased wildly, and he had run almost three hundred miles, but he still didn't want to stop and rest.

More than 5,000 war horses rumbled across the road with their iron hooves, raising a foot of dust, and they couldn't see the end at a glance before they all disappeared around the bend in front of them after waiting for a long time.

Wei Yan spat a few mouthfuls of spit, appeared from the mountains and forests on the side of the road, and scolded: "There are too many of these animals, there are five or six thousand horses, so you can't have less, why don't you just let me eat it?" Then he turned back and told the hundred or so men who were lying in ambush in the forest to come out and dig a pit.

The tiger and leopard riders were still chasing wildly, turning a hill, the front army suddenly reined in urgently, and there were a lot of antlers piled up on the road in front of them, and the long and short sharpened branches and various leaves and weeds were paved with a length of more than ten or twenty zhang.

Cao Chun heard the report and dismounted in front of the team to check, touched those incisions with his hands, and found that they were wet, which means that these branches were cut down not long ago, so doesn't it mean that Liu Bei and they are more than ten miles away? He shouted excitedly, "Hurry up, move these messes out of the way, and check if there are any traps under the leaves and miscellaneous mornings!" ”

Everyone dismounted one after another to clear the branches and weeds to the side of the road, carefully inspected the road surface, and quickly reported to Cao Chun: "No traps were found. ”

It seems that these weeds and leaves are just used to confuse us, Cao Chun immediately ordered: "All on the horse, Liu Bei is a few miles away in front, everyone hurry up and catch up!" With the sound of iron hooves, he personally rushed to the front.

After chasing for a few miles, Cao Chun really found Liu Bei's troops, although the number was small, but they were laying leaves and weeds on the road, and some big trees with sharpened branches were still falling on the side of the road, it seemed that they didn't have time to set up, and shouted at the moment: "Liu Bei, where do you want to escape!" ”

Zhao Yun and dozens of sergeants saw that Cao Jun had been killed, so they hurriedly threw down the branches and fled.

The tiger and leopard rode unwilling to let go, and suddenly one by one they wildly clamped the horse's belly and waved the horsewhip, beating the mount to run forward like crazy.

Cao Chunchong was at the front, only hearing the whirring wind in his ears, and the mount under his crotch seemed to grow wings and flew up to step on the road covered with weeds and leaves, he believed that most of the war horses ridden by tigers and leopards were selected from the grasslands outside the Saiwai, and it was easy to catch up with the fleeing enemy troops in front.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew over his head, and it slammed in front of him with a "horn".

Cao Chun was startled, and quickly turned the horse's head to avoid it, and when he was trying to see what it was, something flew from behind, but this time it flew low, and it happened to hit his back, and he was also knocked off the horse at once.

Immediately afterward, he only heard a series of "plop toms!" Flutter tom," the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the screams of men and the screams of horses.
