But said that Zhang Fei was furious in his heart after Ma Chao left, he was not angry that Ma Chao left him, but was pleased that Ma Chao was able to be honest with himself after betraying Liu Qi, what he hated now was that Liu Qi shamelessly bewitched Ma Chao away.

And what shocked him the most was that he was not angry because of the lack of a powerful military general under the command of the lord Liu Bei, but only because he was angry because he had one less partner in the army who was sick and sympathetic to him, because from now on, he would have no confidant in the entire Qin State's sphere of influence.

People who are angry tend to lose their minds, and Zhang Fei is such a person.

He decided to immediately lead his army to attack Huang Zhong in retaliation for his demagoguery of Ma Chao's surrender.

However, the military advisor Zhang Ji disagreed, in his opinion, Huang Zhong's army is now located on the Arrow Mountain, condescending, the army occupies the advantage of geographical advantages, plus there are Huo Jun of Yangping Pass and Zhang Ren's army of Guanghan, rashly launching an attack is likely to lead to his own defeat.

Despite his bitter admonitions, Zhang Fei insisted on not complying, ordering the generals to obey the order, gather all the men and horses, and launch an attack on Huang Zhong's army.

Seeing that Zhang Fei did not comply, Zhang Ji had no choice but to write a letter to Liu Bei, the Duke of Qin, to report the situation, urging Liu Bei to lead the army to support earlier, otherwise not only would the army not be protected, but it would not be impossible for the entire army to be destroyed.

Zhang Fei didn't care about that, and ordered Guo Yuan, Pang Yan, Su Ze, Duan Mo, Liu Xiongming, Su Shen, Yan Bao, Wei Dan and other generals to assemble a large army, and soon launched an attack on Huangzhong's Arrow Mountain.

But unexpectedly, Huang Zhong relied on his geographical advantage to set up a camp on the mountain to hold on, Zhang Fei's army repeatedly rushed to the mountain to kill, but was shot back by Huang Zhong's crossbow army, and had no choice but to order the generals under his command to scold the formation, hoping that Huang Zhong could not bear the insult and went to war.

But I didn't expect Huang Zhong to discuss with Fa Zheng earlier, Fa Zheng stood on the top of the mountain, Huang Zhong's army was on the mountainside, the two sides took the flag as the signal, Fa Zheng raised the white flag, Huang Zhong did not move, Fa Zheng raised the red flag, he would lead the troops down the mountain, so, although the soldiers under Zhang Fei's command kept scolding and swearing, Huang Zhong turned a deaf ear and did not react at all.

Zhang Fei's army scolded at the foot of the mountain for a long time, the sharpness has fallen, many sergeants have dismounted and sat down, and the formation naturally looks very uneven, at this time Zhang Ji hurriedly reminded: "General, now that our army's sharpness has been lost, the formation is not in order, we must be careful of the enemy's sneak attack." ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the army to reorganize the formation and do a good job of defense, but before he finished a sentence, Fa Zheng on the top of the mountain had already unfurled the red flag, only to hear the drums and horns sounding in unison, shouting loudly, Huang Zhong took the lead and galloped down the mountain, like the sky collapsing, directly taking Zhang Fei of the Chinese army.

Fortunately, Zhang Ji had already reminded him that Zhang Fei had just gotten on the horse, but because Huang Zhong came from the mountain, he was fierce and brave, and Zhang Fei saw that the army was attacked and scattered one after another, so he naturally did not dare to fight, and restrained the soldiers while defeating.

But the other soldiers around him were not so lucky, the deputy general Guo Yuan was cut into two pieces by Huang Zhong in order to cover Zhang Fei's retreat, Pang Yan and Su Ze saw that the situation was not good, and they led their troops to surrender, and the other generals fled with Zhang Fei.

Huang Zhong led the army to cover and kill for a while, but he no longer pursued, and turned his troops back.

But after Zhang Fei returned to the camp, he heard that a member of the group was standing in the gate of the wall, and laughed loudly: "Zhang Fei is leaving, Bajun Yan Yan is here, and your camp has been occupied by me." ”

Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this, and immediately led the army to attack the camp, but because the four gates were full of antlers, Yan Yan's soldiers were hiding behind and frantically firing arrows, Zhang Fei's army suffered a lot of damage, but he could not break through the camp, and it was best to order to retreat to Fu County.

But what made him feel depressed was that when the army arrived at the city of Fuxian, he saw a general at the head of the city shouting loudly: "Zhang Feixiu is leaving, I, Zhang Ren, have been waiting here for a long time." ”

It turned out that Zhang Ren, the Taishou of Guanghan, took advantage of Zhang Fei's army to attack Chuyang, and had already led 5,000 troops into Zitong, and then crossed Baishui Pass into Wudu, occupying Zhang Fei's rear of Fu County.

Zhang Fei didn't expect to lose even the county, and originally wanted to lead the army to attack, but looking at the soldiers behind him who had no fighting spirit, he sighed, and had to order to retreat to the next division.

Due to the loss of the county, Zhang Ren's army blocked Zhang Fei's road to Xiazhi, and Zhang Fei had no choice but to lead the army to the north along the water, and the army walked for a long time, because the sergeant had not eaten, he couldn't help but be hungry and thirsty, and he couldn't walk at all, so Zhang Fei had to order the army to rest temporarily.

When the soldiers received the order, their spirits could not help lifting, and they saw a low area of the riverbed, and drank and washed in the river.

But not long after, a loud rumbling noise was heard, and then a rolling torrent was seen sweeping towards the soldiers in the riverbed, and many of the soldiers were swept away by the flood before they could jump to the shore.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but be frightened, and cursed, because he led 30,000 troops to attack Arrow Mountain today, and he had only lost more than 13,000 people in total until not long ago, but the torrent just now directly killed his 8,000 army, how could such a heavy loss not make him feel angry.

Zhang Fei was furious and led his men forward, only to find that a rudimentary embankment had been built here, and it was obvious that Huang Zhong's army had filled it with water in advance, and when his army was drinking downstream, the embankment was suddenly opened, and as a result, the raging flood flooded his own soldiers.

Zhang Fei didn't even see the shadow of the enemy this time, and ordered the army to hurry for a while, but came to a long and narrow valley, this valley is called the Wolf Valley, the terrain is particularly dangerous, as long as it passes through here, it is a mountain with a horse and a flat river, and the army can rush down to distinguish it.

Today's Zhang Fei is already as anxious as a lost dog, panic like a fish that has slipped through the net, the army has not touched a grain of rice in a day, and has long lost the will to fight, but it is only because of Zhang Fei's military discipline that he does not dare to escape, even so, on the way, there are thousands of sergeants who fall behind due to illness or because of fatigue, and then choose to flee quietly.

"There are still thousands of soldiers left in us, so that the whole army will not be wiped out, alas, this battle is really fucking aggrieved, and there are only this few men and horses left in the 50,000 army, so how can I go back to the main bus? It's all done by the treacherous Liu Qi, if it weren't for him to lure down the Ma Chao brothers, how could we suffer such a fiasco? Alas, it's all my fault, I didn't listen to the military advisor's Jianyì, I shouldn't have been impulsive at that time, and forcibly attacked Huang Zhong's Wrigley Mountain. ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help sighing, and said apologetically to Zhang Ji beside him: "Military advisor, it's all my fault that I was confused for a while, and I didn't listen to your advice, and my army has suffered such a big defeat......

But Zhang Ji smiled bitterly: "So far, it's useless to say this, we just hope that there is no enemy ambush in the valley, as long as we go out of the East Wolf Valley, we can return to the next place, in this way, Wudu is equivalent to still in our hands, and if there are ambushes in front, I'm afraid that even if we are lucky enough to save a life, the general can only order to retreat." ”

"Strategist, what did you say? There is still an ambush ahead? How is this possible? How did the enemy come so quickly? Zhang Fei's eyes widened and he said in disbelief.

Zhang Ji sighed and said leisurely: "I hope so." ”

However, the development of things did not develop in the direction expected by people at all, and not long after Zhang Fei's army entered the East Wolf Valley, he heard a report from the soldiers, and the road ahead was blocked by firewood, grass and huge trees.

Zhang Ji was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's not good, it seems that the enemy army is preparing to attack with fire, general, we should retreat quickly." ”

Zhang Fei was also shocked, and immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, and the army quickly retreated, but he heard a drum sound in the nearby valley and mountain, and then saw the arrows on both sides raining down, and suddenly there were bursts of screams, and many soldiers died unwillingly.

At the same time, there were many arrows with lit tarpaulin, torches, etc., and these fires encountered the ignition in the valley, and the valley became a sea of fire.

Zhang Fei finally escaped from the valley with a few hundred sergeants, but when he heard a drum sound, a general stopped in front of him, and said, "General Yide, it's been a long time." ”

When Zhang Fei saw this general, a touch of pain suddenly appeared on his face, and after a long while, he said with a wry smile: "Meng Qi, I really didn't expect that it was the army under your command that made our army completely lose hope, okay, good, good, I know that I have no way out now, and it is not humiliating to me to be able to die under your hands today, you do it, I will never resist." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei stopped struggling, closed his eyes, and waited for Ma Chao to kill him.

But seeing that Ma Chao's face was constantly twitching, he held the spear in his hand tightly with both hands, but he couldn't do it for a long time, and finally turned his heart sideways and sighed softly: "Yide, you go." From now on, the kindness between us will be written off, and no one will owe anyone anything, and the next time we fight, none of us will have to show mercy. ”

"You, you're going to let me go? So what do you do yourself? You have violated Huang Zhong's general order, aren't you afraid that you will be dealt with by military law? Zhang Fei looked at Ma Chao, although he really wanted to seize this line of life and save his life in order to avenge Guan Yu, but seeing that Ma Chao would rather disobey the general's order and let him go, he was a little unbearable in his heart.

"Hehe, you can't die, you can rest assured, Yide, although the two of us are famous for their bravery, but we have never had a fight, I hope that the next time we meet, we can have a fair fight, only if you are defeated in a dignified manner, I will capture or kill you with a clear conscience."

"Okay, I'll just wait for that day, Meng Qi, I wish you a quick revenge and farewell." Zhang Fei didn't say more, he arched his hand to Ma Chao, and led the remnants of the defeated army to go directly to the direction of Sanguan.
