Chapter Twenty-Six: Tempting the Enemy

Half a day ago, the sun was hanging high.

Rushui, Xincai Ferry, Yuan Fang and Feng Zhou ordered their troops to camp on the spot, and the craftsmen of the army immediately cut down trees and made wooden bridges to cross the river. Many soldiers who were well versed in water dived into the river, took over the wooden bridge made by the craftsmen, and stabilized it.

"Speed up the action, you can't let Liu Qi'er escape!" Feng Zhou said with a solemn face.

Twice in a row, anyone will be extremely depressed. Feng Zhou's mood at the moment was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, as Feng Zhou's friend, Yuan Fang's repeated advice did not help, but made Feng Zhou even more anxious.

As a collateral of the Yuan family, Yuan Fang is also well aware of the consequences of the burning of the Gushi granary. The most important thing is that its burning directly shattered Yuan Shu's arrangement, and the Yuan family in Runan County can be regarded as a heavy loss. For the capture of Liu Qi, his hatred is even heavier than Feng Zhou's, but he knows how to hide it. If he hadn't done this, the 20,000 thieves in his hands would have been annexed by Yuan Cheng's faction long ago.

Yuan Cheng has always secretly supported Yuan Shao, and it is also rumored that Yuan Shao is his illegitimate son. Because of his attachment to the power of the Yuan family, he refused to move to Bohai with Yuan Shao. There is also a theory that Yuan became secretly helping Yuan Shao, wooing Yuan's protΓ©gΓ©s in Runan County, and so on. As Yuan Shu's confidant, Yuan Fang's arrangement in Runan County by Yuan Shu was not as simple as deterring the families in the county.

After another moment, half of the wooden bridge in the Rushui River was built, and Feng Zhou and Yuan Fang's eyes suddenly became eager. Hurriedly arranged for hundreds of soldiers who were familiar with the nature of the water to go down to the river and speed up the construction of simple wooden bridges.

"Quick! Get into the water and quickly build a wooden bridge! Seeing this, Yuan Fang said in a hurry: "You guys bring the iron cable to the other side of the river, hurry up!" ”

Dozens of soldiers were shirtless, each holding a piece of iron rope, and swam towards the opposite shore one after another. After crossing the river, according to Yuan Fang's instructions, lay down the stake and coil it on the stake. In this way, several iron cables lay across the river, and the wood was blocked by iron chains, and piled up together.

The surface of the river of more than 100 zhang gathered hundreds of soldiers and wood for a time.

Da-da-da-da! At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse stomping on the other side of the Xincai ferry.

The soldiers on the river and on the shore had not yet had time to see what was going on, including Yuan Fang and Feng Zhouren. Liu Qi and Chen Zhi led the Baiwei battalion to rush to the shore on war horses, and instantly killed dozens of undefended soldiers, "Shoot arrows!" ”。

Whoosh! More than 1,000 fine bows shot out more than 1,000 arrows, forming a huge network of arrows, which aggressively shot at the soldiers on the river.

"Not good! Be careful! Yuan Fang and Feng Zhou drank at the same time, and suddenly drew their long knives and swung them to block the arrows that came from the barrage. However, the craftsmen and soldiers of the river were not so lucky.

"Ahh My hand! ”

"Ahh My eyes..."

……

Luo Yi's incessant screams came from the river, and Yuan Fang's faces were blue and purple, and they convulsed. Hundreds of people died in an instant, under the fine bow of Liu Qi's white camp, and blood stained the entire river.

"It's you!" Feng Zhou looked over from afar, and the person who came was Liu Qi who attacked Pingyu and burned down the granary the day before yesterday. As the so-called enemy was extremely red when he saw him, Feng Zhou was furious, picked up the big knife and strode over, but Ru Shui blocked him aside, which made him feel powerless.

"Shoot the arrows!" Seeing that Feng Zhou was not deep in the water, Liu Qi exclaimed. Suddenly, another round of arrows flew over.

Yuan Fang suddenly changed color, and while running towards Feng Zhou quickly, he swung his big knife violently, and forcibly pulled Feng Zhou back at the door of death, but he was also hit by an arrow in the arm, and the blood flowed continuously.

Feng Zhou was shocked, and the blood on Yuan Fang's arm flowed to his face before he woke up. In a hurry, he pulled up Yuan Fang, "General Yuan, I'm ......."

Feng Zhou was about to apologize, but Yuan Fang waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to worry about it, and then he said, "Sword and shield hand, are you still stunned?!" Defense! ”

Yuan Fang's ninja drank in severe pain, which made the stunned sword and shield hands wake up, and they raised their big shields one after another, surrounding Yuan Fang and Feng Zhou, defending against the arrows fired from the opposite bank.

"Archers, shoot back!" Feng Zhou was still a general after all, and immediately ordered his archers to return fire, "General Yuan, your wounded ......."

The three rows of archers suddenly struck in three sections, and the arrows weaved a huge net, covering Liu Qi and his Baiyi camp.

"Don't worry! I can't die yet. Yuan Fangqiang endured the sharp pain in his arm, sweated profusely, pushed aside the crowd, and resisted Liu Qi with a gaze like a poisonous snake.

"Retreat!" Liu Qi and Chen Zhi immediately made a decision and ordered the Bai Yi battalion to withdraw from the range of the opposing archers. Looking at Feng Erren from afar.

The two looked at each other, and Liu Qi turned a blind eye to the killing intent that was about to erupt in Yuan Fang's eyes, and said proudly: "General Feng, is that what you can do?" ”

"You... What else would you do but sneak attack?! Feng Zhou was angry and said angrily: "Liu Qi'er, who has not dried up, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart if I don't kill you!" ”

"It's not easy for you and the hundreds of generals around you to kill me!" Liu Qi sneered and said, "Come on, the head on the kid's neck is waiting for you to get it, as long as you have the ability." ”

Yuan Fang stared at Liu Qi deeply, as if hatred and anger had already drowned him in pain, he didn't even look at the arrow on his shoulder, he pulled it out and threw it aside. Feng Zhou couldn't bear it in his heart, Liu Qi's look of appreciation flashed, and said, "General Feng, you are much worse than the one next to you!" ”

At this time, a war drum suddenly came from the upper reaches of Rushui, and dozens of boats rushed down from the upstream, and the leader said: "Big brother, little brother is late!" ”

Liu Qi and Chen Zhi changed color, and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's surprise. "Shoot the arrows!" Before Liu Qi finished speaking, Yuan Fang had already prepared, and the three rows of archers pressed Liu Qi and the others to advance an inch.

"Withdraw!" Since the other party still had reinforcements, Liu Qi and Chen Zhi knew that it was useless to stay here at this moment, so they immediately ordered the entire Baiyi battalion to evacuate.

"Liu Qi'er! Do you think you can run! Seeing that Liu Qi immediately retreated without saying a word, Feng Zhou first pulled the war horse onto the boat and ordered the horse army to get on the boat and cross the river in pursuit.

"Big brother, how are your injuries?" The person who came was Yuan Fang's younger brother, Yuan Lie, who was also Yuan Shu's confidant, and he noticed the injury on Yuan Fang's arm, and he asked worriedly.

"Out of the way! Get on board and pursue, quick! Yuan Fang didn't ask why Yuan Lie was here, pushed Yuan Lie away, stepped on the boat, and stared at the direction Liu Qi left.

"All the horse troops got on boats to cross the river, and the rest were stationed on the spot to build wooden bridges!" Yuan Lie didn't mind Yuan Fang pushing himself away at all, he immediately gave such an order.

"No!" Yuan Lie wanted to follow, but Yuan Fang glared at him and said, "You stay!" In order to prevent Liu Xun's dog from coming to swallow the lord's soldiers! ”

Yuan Lie's expression turned grim when he heard this, and he looked at Yuan Fang worriedly, and Yuan Fang said, "This little injury can't kill me!" Rest assured! Although Yuan Lie was extremely helpless, he had to obey the arrangement of his eldest brother Yuan Fang.

It didn't take long for the more than 5,000 horse army to cross the Rushui, Yuan Fang and Feng Zhou glanced at the other side and said, "Chase!" The war horse, which had rested for more than half a day, was full of foot strength, and galloped in pursuit in the direction of Liu Qi and their retreat.

Twenty miles away, in the direction of Si County.

"Lord, twenty miles further forward is Qisi County." Chen Zhi's face was solemn, Qisi County is not far from Xinxi County, and if he moves forward now, he is afraid that he will fall into the encirclement of the other party.

"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded, looked behind him, and said, "Judging from the time, they have almost captured Xinxi County." The pursuers are already furious, and maybe we will lead them to think about it, so we will change our course and go to Xinxi! Leave a daring scout behind, spy on the other party, and report back if there is anything wrong! ”

"No!" Bai Yiying whispered a promise and turned to a new one.

Liu Qi and Chen were speeding towards Xinxi County, less than ten miles away, and suddenly rushed out of two hundred horse troops in front.

Liu Qi and Chen Zhi were surprised, and Chen Zhi immediately shouted: Who is coming?! ”

These two hundred or so horsemen were the rout army that ran out of Xinxi, and they escorted Yuan Xiong and the scribe all the way to Qisi. When I saw the horse army of more than 1,000 people coming in front of me, I thought it was reinforcements sent by the defenders of Qisi County. The two hundred horsemen suddenly rejoiced: "We are the defenders of Xinxi County, because we were attacked, General Yuan had to abandon Xinxi, and I was thinking about asking for help, but I didn't expect you to come......"

Liu Qi and Chen were overjoyed when they heard this, and the two looked at each other and smiled, they didn't expect to meet the fleeing Xinxi County guards here, and they really made a lot of money! Liu Qi and Chen Zhi took the lead in charging and shouted, "Baiyi Camp! Charge! ”

Before the horse sergeant finished speaking, Liu Qi came to him, and with a wave of his sword, the horse soldier was killed instantly. Chen Zhi arrived at the same time, and the spear in his hand stabbed out in an instant, and several horse soldiers in front of Yuan Xiong's team were assassinated by Chen Zhi's spear before they knew what was happening.

Suddenly, as an elite soldier Ma, he suddenly realized that they were by no means reinforcements from Qisi County, but an ambush from the other party, "It's an ambush!" Hurry back! ”

Yuan Xiong and the scribe's heart, which had just been put down, was suddenly raised again under the reminder of the guard, and they immediately turned their horses' heads and fled for their lives in a panic.

"Can you go?" The Baiwei battalion chased after the horses, fighting to kill the stragglers, and Liu Qi rushed into the center of the opponent before Chen arrived. The guards around the scribe immediately reacted, and several people surrounded Liu Qi, trying to prevent Liu Qi from chasing and killing the scribe.

Liu Qi sneered: "It's a good time!" The sword slashed more than a dozen times in an instant, and the guards seemed to freeze, followed by a few popping sounds, and the scribe looked at it fixedly, and he was so shocked that he didn't dare to move. It turned out that the guards who tried to obstruct Liu Qi's pursuit had fallen to the ground and died.

"Little brother, be careful!" Before Yuan Xiong's words reached the ears of the scribes, Liu Qi's sword slashed again, cutting off the scribe who had already been broken, and the scribe was killed instantly.

"Little brother! Ah, I'm fighting with you! Yuan Xiong was grief-stricken, the death of his loved ones aroused his angry feelings, and he was about to kill Liu Qi when he came over, and the guards around him couldn't pull it.

In the face of Yuan Xiong's fierce knife momentum, Liu Qi was not afraid, and went up to the knife, taking advantage of the situation and slashing vertically. With a pop, Yuan Xiong's arm had been removed.

Yuan Xiong didn't have time to cry out in pain, and Liu Qi killed again with the second knife. Fortunately, at this time, his personal guards blocked Liu Qi's attack desperately, and several people broke through around Yuan Xiong. When Liu Qi killed several guards besieging him, Yuan Xiong and the others had already galloped away on the official road, unable to catch up.
