When Meng Shu sent an envoy to Dianchi City to report the news, Liu Bei of Dianchi City had already learned the news of Meng Huo's defeat. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter all, Meng Huo is his hope for a turnaround, and Liu Bei is naturally very concerned about Meng Huo's situation, so he has been secretly sending scouts to monitor the battle between Meng Huo and the Tang Army.

After discovering the news of the defeat of the Southern Barbarian army, the scouts immediately transmitted the news back to Dianchi City.

After Liu Bei got the news, he was furious and scolded: "Idiot Meng Shu, I have already reminded him, he didn't listen, now it's okay, more than 100,000 people are gone." ”

Zhang Song analyzed: "The barbarians are scattered, and they only rely on their own martial arts to fight, and their equipment is not as sophisticated as the Tang army. Meng Shu gave up his geographical advantage and went to fight the Tang army hard, and it was strange that he was undefeated. ”

Meng was defeated, the 150,000-strong army was almost wiped out, and Liu Bei lost the capital to turn over. Therefore, he didn't want to continue to stay in Dianchi City, because with this little power in his hands, once the Tang army went south, then he would die. According to the escape route he had always pursued, Liu Bei immediately decided to abandon Yizhou County and flee to Yongchang County, which not only avoided the edge of the Tang army, but also relied on the southern barbarian forces of Yongchang County.

Zhang Song dissuaded: "Your Majesty, abandon Yizhou County and enter Yongchang, which is controlled by the Southern Barbarians, we will have no foundation, and we will have to rely on others to breathe......

Liu Bei said: "We retreat to Yongchang County, and with Li Yi's temperament, we will definitely chase after us." When the time comes, Nanban and him will die and the net will be broken, and I will just benefit from the fisherman. Isn't it better than sitting here and waiting to die? ”

Zhang Song was persuaded by Liu Bei and stopped persuading.

However, just when Liu Bei led the army to leave Dianchi City and arrived at the border of Jianling in the south of Dianchi, the scouts came to report that a Tang army had occupied Jianling, blocking the way for the army to retreat south.

Liu Bei was shocked, and said in his heart that the Tang army was not fighting Meng Huo in the north? How could there be a large army in Jianling?

………………

The Tang army, which attacked and captured Jianling, was not many in number, only 3,000 people. Because this army is the special forces of the Tang Army led by Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong.

Because Li Yi knew Liu Bei's ability to escape, once he saw that the opportunity was wrong, he would definitely give up Dianchi City and flee south. Li Yi didn't want to continue to play the game of chasing with him, so before fighting with Meng Huo's Southern Barbarian army, Li Yi quietly sent Luo Cheng and the three of them to lead the special forces to rush to the south of Dianchi City, raid Jianling City, and block Liu Bei's route to the south.

In order to flee for his life, Liu Bei ordered the army to storm Jianling City.

However, because Liu Bei hastily evacuated Dianchi, the army did not carry any siege equipment. Therefore, under the defense of the special forces of the 3,000 Tang Army, Liu Bei's 30,000 army was broken and bleeding.

Liu Bei saw that he could not capture Jianling, and the way to escape south was blocked, so he had to decide to withdraw to Dianchi City to hold on, hoping to take advantage of the dangerous terrain of Dianchi City to resist stubbornly.

Liu Bei didn't flee back to Dianchi at all, only evacuated more than ten miles from Jianling City, and killed a group of people and horses in the oblique stab, roaring like thunder: "Where is Liu Bei going!" ”

Liu Bei turned his head in shock, and suddenly the three souls were frightened, and the seven spirits were shocked, only to see a white horse and silver spear first, majestic and murderous, not Changshan Zhao Zilong, but which one?

"Your Majesty?" The strategists were silent, at this time, resourcefulness was the most powerless, and it was Liu Bei's personal guard general Chen Dao who shouted loudly.

Obviously, he was asking Liu Bei if he would solve Zhao Yun's centaurs first.

Throughout the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are unparalleled national warriors such as Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, etc., as well as martial arts generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, etc. A history of less than 100 years of struggle for hegemony in the Three Kingdoms, deducing the history of China's 5,000 years of military, cultural, social, political, national, and sectarian struggles. In this short and shallow stream, due to the "limited ability" of the famous historian Chen Shou and the "rare confusion" of the novelist Luo Guanzhong, an important warrior comparable to the tiger idiot Xu Chu disappeared from people's field of vision for no reason.

This person is Chen Zhi. From Liu Bei's entry into Yuzhou (196 AD), he followed Liu Bei to fight in various places until he died in the eighth year of Jianxing and served as the governor of Yong'an.

There were three elite troops in the history of Shu Han, one was the Wudang Fei Army recruited by Zhuge Liang in Nanzhong, the other was the Xiliang cavalry led by Ma Chao, and the other was Bai Yu, the central army who defended Liu Bei.

According to historical records, after Liu Bei formed Bai Yu in Yuzhou, Chen Zhi has been leading this army for 34 years.

And some wild histories have recorded that after Liu Bei's defeat in the battle, Chen Zhiqin led hundreds of Bai Yu dead soldiers to repel the attack of tens of thousands of Eastern Wu pursuers, so as to buy enough time for Liu Bei to retreat from the White Emperor City.

In this time and space, because Zhuge Liang and Ma Chao both surrendered to Li Yi's command, the strong army under Liu Bei was only left with the Bai Yu army.

"......" Liu Bei was indecisive, there were not many enemies, not even a quarter of his own, but it was that Zhao Yun who led the army!

This sworn brother of Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty, the general of the chariot cavalry, is an almost invincible existence. Although the cavalry he is leading now is only 5,000, can he really take them down in an instant with more than 20,000 horses?

Entangled, as soon as the reinforcements of the Tang Army arrived, they couldn't leave if they wanted to.

"Let's go!" He shouted wildly, "Don't fall for the trick, they are chasing us with light troops, just to entangle us!" ”

Walk? Easier said than done.

The speed of both sides was not very fast, but the pursuit was the cavalry led by Zhao Yun.

"Sneering ......" bursts of dense air breaking sounds, as if it was a sleet, or the snow was mixed with hail, and smashed towards the Shu army. The dozens of Shu soldiers who dragged behind suddenly turned on their backs, as if the tail of an escaped gecko had been amputated.

"Shoot back, shoot back!" Liu Bei was in a hurry, and asked Chen Zhi in a loud voice, "Shuzhi, don't you even know how to ride and shoot as a soldier you train?" Doesn't it say that in mounted archery battles, those who run in front are more dominant? Now how do you just get beaten? ”

Chen Zhi looked helpless. How could he not have known that fighting with his pursuers would cost time? Isn't that no way? The opponent was the elite cavalry of the Tang Army led by Zhao Yun, and if they didn't fight with the enemy, they could only be beaten while running.

The risk of white-knuckle combat is also very great, but the fate is still in your own hands, so if you are beaten while running, whether you can escape depends on God's favor.

Chen Zhi sighed secretly in his heart, the most optimistic people would not think that God was on their side, right?

Liu Bei was only angry and angry, so he asked this question, but in fact, there was no need to explain at all.

The backward soldiers of the Shu army could not bear the situation that they could only be beaten and could not fight back, and some of the soldiers did not wait for the order, so they turned around and raised their bows one after another, trying to return the color.

The cavalry of the Tang Army did not dodge or dodge the arrows that shot at the body, but only used a riding shield or horse lance to shoot at the war horse, and then raised the bow again to accurately kill the most courageous Shu soldiers one by one.

As soon as the most courageous soldier died, the rest of the people realized that doom was imminent, so they simply scattered and fled. What they bet on was that the target of the Tang Army's chasing soldiers was Liu Bei, and they would not be unforgiving to them.

Sure enough, the cavalry of the Tang Army had no intention of dividing their troops to chase and kill, but just chased closely behind Liu Bei's brigade.

The experience of the forerunners was quickly absorbed and emulated by the latecomers, and the soldiers of the Shu army rushed to run first. Once you find yourself at the end of the line, throw away your weapon cleanly and run away in other directions.

Liu Bei's team is really the same as a gecko, as soon as he is attacked, he immediately decisively breaks his tail to survive, but he does not have the gecko's regeneration ability, and the result is that the size of his team shrinks rapidly.

Since Zhao Yun began to pursue, the two armies have only run two or three miles since they came into contact, and as a result, the team has been reduced by half! 10,000 people are gone!

Among them, there were no more than 500 people who were really left behind because they were shot dead and wounded by the cavalry of the Tang Army, and the rest fled in other directions.

Liu Bei was immediately stunned. He thought that he could at least escape to Shengxiu City next to Dachi (Fuxian Lake in later generations), and then take advantage of the fact that the opponent's support did not arrive, relying on the city to fight with the pursuers, it is best to annihilate the opponent, and if he can't annihilate it, he can run away.

Who would have thought that the enemy's pursuit would be so sharp, and his own troops would be so cowardly, that they had run such a little distance, and even the nearest city of Shengxiu from the battlefield was still thirty miles away. It's already embarrassing, how can I go next?

It's easy to sing high in a safe place, extolling sacrifice and dedication, but soldiers aren't fools either. Because of the power of the celebrities, they will not refute it to their faces. But he won't be stupid to be bewitched to die, especially when the powerful are at the end of their rope. No matter how uneducated people are, they will make the wisest choice.

"What should I do?" Liu Bei looked back at the left and right blankly.

Zhang Song opened his mouth and said: "You can leave a partial division to entangle Zhao Yun after it is broken, but it is ......."

Zhang Song's words flickered, and his eyes didn't even dare to look at Chen Dao, so how could Zhao Yun be a good match? Leave a partial division at random, and maybe you will be defeated in three or two clicks. But let His Majesty's personal guard general Chen Zhi go to death, no matter how shameless he is, he can't say it.

I don't know if I heard the meaning of Zhang Song's words, or if I originally had this intention, Chen Zhi generously agreed, and proudly asked for battle: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead Bai Yu's own soldiers to fight to the death with that Zhao Yun and help His Majesty get out!" ”

"Good, good! Uncle is worthy of my fan! Liu Bei was moved, and said emotionally, "Uncle Zhi, you can go without worry, and you don't have to fight to the death, when I go far, you get off the horse and surrender, if there is a day of reunion in the future, I will not be suspicious of this." ”

Chen Zhi said categorically: "Your Majesty is between the ugly and the army, treat a certain brother like a brother, and a certain will live up to Your Majesty!" ”

"Or, if you don't want to surrender, you can fight and retreat, and find an opportunity to get out on your own. I will ...... five of you," Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "No, a thousand Bai Yu soldiers are with you." Remember, don't fight to the death, put your whole body first. ”

The total number of Bai Yu's personal soldiers was only two thousand, and Liu Bei divided half of them in order to escape for his life, which was really hard.

Chen Zhi replied: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
