Chapter 491: It's good to hide from the thunder under the big tree
The two teams intercepted the way, and Liu Bei took the road and left. The ambushes on both sides lined up hundreds of hard crossbows, and the arrows were like flying locusts.
"Lord, go quickly!" Zhao Yun was dressed in a white robe and black, and he couldn't see his original face. When seizing the city, he rushed the most fiercely, was trapped in the middle of the city by the fire, and couldn't get out several times, almost laying in the footsteps of Zhang Fei.
Liu Bei was able to seize the road and lead the army to Baishui Pass. Wang Ping and Zhang Xiu, who were touching the horse with Mi Fang's head hanging on the side, led the army to rescue Nanzheng, and the two armies intercepted it was a fight.
On the evening of Liu Bei's battle, he had no way to go and came to the foot of a small mountain. Lead the troops to the top of the mountain, and the right to rest less. Wang Ping commanded the large army to surround the hill.
"Push it up!" Wang Ping gave an order, and all the generals in the army, such as Mi Zhu, Sun Qian, and Jian Yong, were captured. was arrested one after another, and countless henchmen were arrested. Liu Bei could see clearly on the mountain, and his eyes were red with anxiety.
"Wang Taishou, attack the mountain!" Zhang Xiu was worried that something would change after a long time, so he urged on the side.
"Wait."
"Wait, help will come!" Zhang Xiu was in a hurry.
"I'm waiting for help!" Wang Ping said.
"Since the siege is besieging the city and sending reinforcements, then I will go and prepare one or two. Zhao Yun has the courage of ten thousand people, if he dies to save the Lord, it may be difficult to resist. Zhang Xiu said with palpitations, after fighting a few times, he didn't put himself in the position of senior brother. Instead, Zhao Yun was introduced as his lifelong enemy.
Liu Bei saw it really on the mountain, and there were routs one after another who pushed them into battle. Frightened in their hearts, and there was only the strategist Fa Zheng by their side, the two were unwilling to sit still, and rushed down the mountain several times overnight, but they were all shot back by random arrows.
Hold until dawn, and then want to rectify the conflict down the mountain, and suddenly see a single horse rushing into battle. It was regarded as a pitch-black general holding a black stick, which turned out to be Zhao Yun who was roasted and smoked by the fire.
Liu Bei led the army to rush down from the mountain again. At this time, another army came in the distance, and if you looked closely, there were 20,000 soldiers, including soldiers who followed Liu Bei from Jingnan to Xichuan. The war was unfavorable, and they all defected to the enemy.
"Don't go back! There is a chance to go forward and kill the side! ”
Fa Zheng shot an enemy in the middle of the group of soldiers with an arrow and shouted at the same time.
"The last general is incompetent, and he can't rush out!" Zhao Yun kicked weakly. From yesterday to today, he has been killing the enemy and breaking the formation, hurrying away, and not getting a drop of water.
The only one who made the enemy feared the fierce general exhausted, Liu Bei flashed to Zhao Yun and blocked a knife for him: "Go back to the top of the mountain to rest for a while, have a full meal, and wait for Zilong to recover his strength, and then come to break the formation." ”
"That's fine." Fa Zheng frowned, this is not a good way. He can only pin his hopes on Zhuge Liang, who is missing, maybe Zhuge Liang will have a miracle.
As soon as Liu Bei retreated to the mountain, Wang Ping once again sent a large army to surround the mountain. Fa Zhengli stood silent on a high place.
"Strategist, what's wrong?" Liu Bei staggered from a distance.
"The lord is here." Fa Zheng didn't look back, the revenge disappeared, and the whole person was full of strange emotions, pointing to the bottom of the mountain.
Liu Bei looked at it and was terrified. Wang Ping withdrew all the reinforcements, and there were 20,000 soldiers brought by Huang Yueying. There are crowds of people at the bottom of the mountain, and there are crowds of people. What made Liu Bei even more desperate was that these soldiers were cutting down trees and preparing to light firewood.
"Wang Ping wants to burn the mountain?" Liu Bei asked knowingly, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.
Fa Zheng didn't speak, just nodded. Liu Bei closed his eyes, and his hand unconsciously pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist: "The princes will not be prepared until death, and they will be grateful." Please hold my head, or you can keep the old and the young in the family. ”
After Liu Bei finished speaking, he took out his long sword and wiped it around his neck.
"No!" Zhao Yun, who was sitting on the ground not far away, dodged and grabbed Liu Bei's sword body, and the blood flowed in his palms: "The lord must not be extreme." Horizontal and vertical is death! The last general will shed blood on his head, and ten thousand arrows will pierce his heart, and he will also protect the lord and the princess. Please allow me a team of dead soldiers to break through from the west, and the lord will break through from the army of Wang Ping in the east, Wang Ping will definitely not be prepared! ”
"Look!"
Liu Bei's expression just moved a little, and a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the bottom of the mountain tremblingly, shouting: "Set fire, the mountain is going to be burned!" ”
"First team, second team, listen to my orders and follow me to break through from Xishan!" Zhao Yun resolutely stepped forward and came to the front of the team.
The wind is strong on the mountain, and the sun is scorching, and the weather is dry. Wet firewood. The temperature at the top of the mountain increases dramatically. The mountain was again cut off from water. Before Zhao Yun and his troops came to the foot of the mountain, they were ruthlessly blocked by the fire. Countless soldiers knelt on the ground in despair, shouting the names of their families. Or hug each other and cry bitterly.
The sun was scorching, but the top of the mountain was covered with a cloud of death. Everyone's eyes were glazed, quietly admiring the fire that was gradually burning up from the bottom of the mountain.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap in the sky. Immediately, the wind blew fiercely, and the sand flew away. Dark clouds obscured the sky without warning.
"Heaven will not die, and I will too!" Liu Bei knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the sky.
The first drop of rain fell, and Fa Zheng suddenly shouted: "God bless my lord!" ”
"God bless my lord!"
The soldiers believed in the ghosts. This drop of rain gave them the confidence to fight back, because Liu Bei was protected by the gods. Suddenly, this drop of rain gave endless hope to the defeated soldiers, and the soldiers were in high spirits.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and finally, as if pouring a ladle, the fire at the foot of the mountain was steaming and was quickly extinguished. The soldiers hugged in the rain and carnivaled, shouting, and worshiping Liu Bei on the top of the mountain.
The heavy rain not only extinguished the fire, but also extinguished the fighting spirit of the soldiers under the mountain. There were even some Jingnan soldiers who took the lead in worshipping at the top of the mountain, and those wavering soldiers followed one after another. The generals in Hanzhong were shouting angry rebukes.
"Boom!"
Chain lightning stretches from the sky to the head. Liu Bei was so frightened that he trembled. Every time there is a thunderstorm, Liu Bei is frightened. On the shore of Huaishui that day, the oath was still in my ears. Today, a torrential rain fell from the sky to save him, and Liu Bei believed in the oath of ghosts and gods even more.
"Boom, click."
Suddenly, a flickering thunderbolt fell on the big tree at the top of the mountain, and the thunder on the big tree flashed, and the high temperature instantly evaporated the water vapor, and the big tree and its leaves turned into scorched wood in a blink of an eye. Liu Bei was so frightened that his legs weakened and he sat on the ground.
"Lord, there's a big tree over there, go under the tree to take shelter from the rain." Zhao Yun climbed the mountain from the bottom of the mountain to Liu Bei in the heavy rain and kindly reminded.
"Big tree? That? Liu Bei suddenly remembered that a few years ago, Lu Bu had said: It is good to hide from thunder under the big tree.
Liu Bei turned around and rushed directly under the tree, and the leaves blocked a lot of violent storms. Liu Bei shouted to Zhao Yun outside the tree: "Zilong, come in and take shelter from the rain together." ”
"Thank you, my lord. Now the morale of the army is unstable, and the last general is worried that there are young people who are plotting against him. The last general is outside the guard. Zhao Yun bowed and said movingly.
At this moment, a flash of lightning fell that shone all over the embarrassment, and the thunder shook the ears with a roar. The thunder and lightning were neither biased nor oblique, and they just fell on the tree where Liu Bei was sheltering from the rain. Liu Bei just closed his eyes for a moment, and felt a tingle all over his body, and his soul seemed to be separated from his body. Immediately, the whole person fell into boundless darkness.
"Lord!"
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Bei for the first time when he regained his gaze. Voices of grief roared out of his mouth. I saw that Liu Bei still maintained a standing posture, but his whole body was flashing with electricity and white smoke. The shiny armor was covered in a layer of charred black.
Zhao Yun rushed forward and hugged Liu Bei, and the next moment, he threw Liu Bei out again. When Zhao Yun grabbed Liu Bei, the thunder and lightning on Liu Bei's body that had not yet dispersed numbled Zhao Yun's whole body, and instinctively pushed Liu Bei away.
"Click."
The trunk of the tree above his head finally broke off and slammed into the ground with a thud.
"Lord!" Fa Zheng heard that there was a change here, and shouted from afar. rushed to Liu Bei and wiped a handful of water on his face. Carefully rubbing Liu Bei's body, his face changed greatly, and he said with a trembling voice: "The lord is gone!" ”
"Lord!" Zhao Yun threw himself on Liu Bei's body and let out a painful sound. Suddenly, Zhao Yun got up and handed Liu Bei's body into the hands of Fa Zheng: "Please ask the military advisor to bury the lord thickly, and Yun will repay him in the next life." ”
Zhao Yun grabbed a gun, turned around and was about to go down the mountain: "I swear to die to avenge the Lord!" ”
"Wait!" Fa Zheng eagerly blocked Zhao Yun's way, and a hint of sneer appeared on Zhao Yun's face:
"The lord has just been mourned, what? The military advisor is going to be greedy for life and afraid of death? ”
"Zilong misunderstood me." Fa Zheng said: "Yes, the lord has died, but the young director is here." As subordinates, we must consider the main public and small families, serve the young master as the main, and then fight for the world. ”
"Serve the young master as the master?" Zhao Yun repeated.
"Not bad. The young master and a few ladies were in the rear, and they immediately broke through and escorted the young master to leave this place of right and wrong first. Therefore, the bad news of the lord must not be done. Take advantage of the morale first, rush down the mountain, break through and escape! ”
"Just listen to the military advisor." Zhao Yun turned around and shouted down the mountain: "The lord has an order, our army has the help of Thunder God, and the morale of the enemy army is completely lost." Straight to Wang Ping's big tent in the army, and cut Wang Ping alive! ”
"Kill Wang Ping alive!"
The soldiers descended the mountain like tigers and went straight to Wang Ping's big tent.
"Is Liu Bei crazy? With two or three crooked melons, you want to break our Chinese army, don't you? Zhang Xiu said disdainfully.
"It was a good layout, but it collapsed due to the heavy rain. On the contrary, our morale will be demoralized. The morale of the enemy is high, and you should avoid its edge. Huang Yueying suggested that the troops should be collected and returned to the camp to hold on, anyway, Liu Bei did not have many soldiers, and Liu Bei could not afford to fight with wheels.
At this time, the war drums in the rear of the camp shook the sky.
"Liu Bei's reinforcements are coming? Where did he get reinforcements? Zhang Xiu looked back. Behind the camp, Zhuge Liang led a large army to sit in front, while the Hanzhong soldiers lined up behind him.
Zhuge Liang pointed to Wang Ping's camp: "This is Liu Bei's false attack on the banner of our army, sneak attack on Nanzheng's soldiers, kill!" ”
It turned out that Zhuge Liang went to other cities to borrow troops. He told Beicheng that it was an envoy sent by Huang Yueying to send troops to support Nanzheng, and the county seat under Hanzhong was deceived by Zhuge Liang's rhetoric. As a result, Zhuge Liang successfully borrowed an army to relieve Liu Bei's siege.
Unfortunately, he was still a step too late.
Zhuge Liang commanded the soldiers to attack the camp and fought against Wang Ping's army.
And Fa Zheng also took advantage of this to break through, and after meeting with Zhuge Liang, he rushed back to Deyang. took Liu Bei's family and fled in the direction of Jiaozhou.
Since then, the war has entered the territory of Jiaozhou. A few years later, Liu Chan ascended the throne in Jiaozhou and inherited the Han dynasty. Under the rule of the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan, they gradually prospered.
