Chapter 243: The Chaotic Ferry
In the darkness, against the backdrop of a little fire, the faces were full of panic. There was a panting sound all around, and once you reached Baimajin, there was a surging river, and there was no place to go. Then if the sound of horses' hooves sounds, everyone's heartstrings will be tense.
Only a third of the people came, and the rest either surrendered or were scattered in the countryside. However, even if it was only a third, this made Bai Majin suddenly confused.
I can't tell who is what part and what song, the most convenient thing is to find a familiar fellow countryman, if you can't find it, you can group up with your comrades and talk with your muscles. With this new ecology, the other part of the population was able to preserve themselves and came here in the form of a small circle, and then several circles began to fight fiercely over the ferry.
"Puff, puffβ"
Someone fell into the water in the distance, and the crowd exploded.
"Fucking your own people beating your own people?" Someone spoke with resentment in his tone.
"Who is your own person? There are many people and few boats, and if they don't pass by while it gets dark, they will all die on the shore. β
"What a noise, the boat is still in the hands of someone else......"
Zhang He had already taken over his troops, and he was strictly guarded against these defeated soldiers, and set up a defensive line at the newly built gate of Baimajin, and more and more people hit this wall, and the two sides confronted each other.
Zhang He said to Tian Feng, who was serious next to him: "What should I do? β
Tian Feng said: "I have already sent someone to Liyang to report the news, and there will be rescue soon, and I will survive this section." β
Zhang He said: "But I promised the second son, I came back to defend against the Cao army's pursuers, but now why is it involved in this kind of thing?" Cao Bing immediately chased after him! β
Tian Feng smiled bitterly: "No way, now the order is chaotic, many people have to fish in troubled waters, if you don't take your people in the way, I'm afraid it will be chaotic." β
"It's already messed up."
There was a roar from among the deserters: "Get out of the way and give us the boat to cross the river!" β
A group of deserters plucked up their courage and pushed towards Zhang He's troops.
Zhang He raised his voice and said, "Who dares to step forward, kill!" β
The soldiers under him were shocked, but fortunately, they were also strictly trained in peacetime, and they followed Zhang He's orders at critical moments, at least they didn't turn their butts around.
A stream of deserters rushed over, and after a few or two fights, they left behind a few corpses and retreated. Some people in the crowd were eager to try, and when they saw this solemn scene, they suppressed their thoughts, but when they looked at the deep and boundless darkness behind them, they became bolder.
Zhang He said: "I can't hold it down, what should I do?" β
Tian Feng said: "Hold on." β
Zhang He said: "What about Cao Bing? β
Tian Feng said: "Think of a way." At least keep Baimajin and don't let this group in. β
The sound of wheels rolling behind him, and the crowd shouted, "Cao Bing is hereβ"
Someone in the rear shouted: "What Cao Bing, it's Yuan Gong's convoy." β
"Sure enough, there is nothing wrong, Yuan Gong really escaped."
When the black nest was burned, someone spread the news of Yuan Shao's escape, which caused the army to be disheartened and collapsed without a fight.
Someone in Yuan Shao's convoy shouted: "The defenders open the door and let the lord cross the river." β
After the Baimajin Ferry was burned down by Cao's army, Chun Yuqiong organized people to renovate it, and also built a wall and camp gate around the ferry, and there were small cabins for the defenders to live in. At this time, Zhang He led the defenders to hide inside, and when he heard the voice of Yuan Shao's convoy, he couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "What should I do?" Mr. Tian, if you let the lord in, these people will all squeeze in, God knows if there is Cao Cao's fine work in it? β
Tian Feng said with a calm face: "Don't let go." β
The other side shouted a few times, and seeing that there was no response inside, one of them rode a horse to the nearest place, glanced under the firelight, and successfully captured Zhang He's figure, and said, "Captain Zhang, do you still recognize me?" β
Zhang He said: "The last general has seen the third son. β
It turned out that the person who came was Yuan Shang, although he lost the battle, but Yuan Shang's line was still neat, and he couldn't see the embarrassment of fleeing at all. He arched his hand and said, "Cao's army is pursuing behind, and he also asked Captain Zhang to open the camp gate and let us cross the river." β
Some deserters next to him coaxed and said, "Yes, what are you doing blocking the door?" It's all my own people......"
Zhang He said: "There are not many boats, so many people, how to cross the river?" Wait for the Liyang reinforcements to arrive, and it is not too late to cross the river. β
Yuan Shangdao: "As long as there is a boat, it is enough, and my father and son will cross the river first." Others can say that. β
This time, the other deserters stopped talking, and the scene suddenly became solemn.
This Yuan Shang was also panicked, and saying such words as "the leader goes first" in front of many ordinary soldiers was undoubtedly a public outrage. Although there is a difference between respect and inferiority, Cao Bing will be killed behind the butt immediately, who cares who is the boss and who is the pawn?
"Why did your father and son cross the river first? Are we going to cross the river too? β
"See who gets the boat first?"
"The father and son of the Yuan family, we will never serve them again."
A kind of unwillingness and resentment that welled up in the hearts filled people's chests, and they did not vomit or be unhappy.
Yuan Shang heard the protests of the people around him, and couldn't help but hurriedly said to Zhang He: "Captain Zhang, open the door quickly, I'm afraid it's not good." β
Seeing Yuan Shang and learning that the lord Yuan Shao was in the convoy, Zhang He really couldn't continue to ignore them. It can be said that he has not received an order, but the Lord will be in front of him, should he rebel? There were two or three times as many people outside, and the gate could be torn down.
When the gate opened, something surprising happened, and all the deserters scrambled to squeeze in regardless of Yuan Shao's car.
Yuan Shang scolded angrily: "What to rob? Get out of the way! β
"Your Yuan family's father and son can enter, why can't we enter?"
There was even a cold arrow shooting at him, flying past his ear, frightening Yuan Shang into a cold sweat, waiting to find the person who sent the arrow, but he was already drowned in the crowd.
"How can that be?" Yuan Shang cursed, shrunk his head and hid back in the crowd. Yuan Shao's escort battalion was at least faithful and reliable.
Zhang He's people stood on both sides and watched the crowd galloping wantonly, Tian Feng complained: "Captain Zhang, if you do this, there will definitely be a fight inside, and when the time comes, Cao Jun's spies will set fire, and we will not even have a place to guard." β
Zhang He spread his hands and said, "There's no way." β
The crowd gathered next to the dock, and Yuan Shao's personal guard battalion was also extremely strong, as long as someone stood in front of him, he directly stained the blade with blood and forcibly opened the way. Finally, there was a commotion.
"Brothers, fight!"
Someone made a move towards Yuan Shao's team. But most people still watched from afar, afraid to come closer. After all, he is a high-ranking lord, and his usual majesty has been infiltrated in his heart, and he still shocks everyone for a while.
More than a dozen ferries were parked by the river, and the crowd let out a cheer and rushed to the boats. However, there was no order, everyone got on the boat in spite of it, and they were immediately ripped off, and the scene finally began to get out of control. And no matter how powerful Yuan Shao's personal guards are, in the face of this kind of scene, they are finally not as deterrent as on the flat ground.
Yuan Shang scratched his head and said in the team: "If it goes on like this, when will you be able to board the ship?" β
A low, hoarse voice came: "Shoot the arrows, and whoever gets on the boat will shoot them down for me." β
Yuan Shang was shocked, after all, he was a hero, this was the difference between his father and himself. At the critical juncture, Yuan Shao finally let go and wanted to attack his own people.
The people who had just boarded the boat were excited, but they didn't have time to rejoice, and Yuan Shao's personal guards on the shore began to shoot arrows, and the dense cluster of arrows swept them down. The screams and the sound of falling water suddenly rang out.
The crowd grabbing the boat was silent for a moment, and then immediately erupted in resistance. The prestige in the heart of the town was finally burned through with full anger.
"Damn, take the lead and run first, and shoot your own people, make it like this, isn't it caused by your Yuan father and son?"
"Killβ"
