Chapter 38 Nagasaka Slope

From Dangyang Changban slope to the vicinity of Gangneung, it is a hill that stretches for 100 miles, and is called "100 miles of Changsaka".

There are still more than two hundred miles away from Gangneung, and according to the predetermined plan, it should have been basking in Gangneung City ten days ago, but by now, the huge team had walked less than half the distance.

Fang Shao looked back and forth at the team that had fled south, and it was more than double the size of the previous day. In the nearly twenty days since they left Xiangyang, the people of Jingzhou rushed to follow Liu Bei, and by now, there were almost 100,000 people.

Hundreds of people walked past Fang Shao, mixed with dozens of soldiers, some of them helping the old and young with their luggage, and some of them simply put their weapons on the donkey cart they were traveling with, looking listless.

When they first left Xiangyang, the formation of the team was relatively neat, but after twenty days passed, most of the soldiers were scattered among the people, following the flow of people.

"It looks like the situation is not good, I have to be mentally up, and after escaping this catastrophe, it will be a sunny day." Fang Shao was already prepared, "However, this risk can't be taken in vain, there must be some gains." ”

Fang Shao turned his brain, and gradually had an idea, so he turned his horse's head and looked at the heavy troops behind.

At the front of the team, Liu Bei and others had climbed the Changban slope first, and several people were enjoying the shade in a big tree. At this moment, the mountain wind was gusting, so cool, Liu Bei raised his eyes to look north, and saw that the people's team that spread for miles was slowly moving towards the slope, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It seems that I haven't gone far today." ”

Liu Bei's tone at this time was inadvertently a little unhappy, which was a little different from the righteousness and awe-inspiring in the previous days, and he seemed to have a little remorse.

At this time, Mi Zhu beside him wiped his sweat and said, "Lord, it can't go on like this." Although there are many of our followers now, most of them are unarmed white soldiers, and if the Cao soldiers and horses catch up, we will not be able to resist at all. It is better to leave the people behind, speed up the march, and occupy Gangneung as soon as possible. ”

The surrounding people such as Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei and others, although they did not speak, their expressions showed that they all agreed with Mi Zhu's proposal.

At this time, Liu Bei's expression suddenly became solemn again, and said: "Those who achieve great things should be people-oriented, and now that the people belong to me, how can I bear to abandon them." ”

Liu Bei's words made Mi Zhu feel quite ashamed, blushed, and retreated to the side speechlessly.

Zhuge Liang, who was shaking a fan over there, secretly rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't persuade the lord so much, otherwise I would have been the one who made a fool of myself in public." ”

The atmosphere was a little cold for a while.

Liu Bei also knew that his words made the atmosphere a little cold, but he coughed lightly a few times and said, "Yuan Zhi, where is Yun Chang's water army now?" ”

Xu Shu hurriedly said: "I received the news sent by General Guan last night that the naval army will soon arrive in Hanjindu. Because along the way, many Jingzhou naval troops who were unwilling to surrender to Cao Ying were recruited, and the current naval army had reached more than 10,000 troops, so General Guan was ready to reorganize a little in Hanjindu. ”

Liu Bei nodded his satisfaction and said, "Send an order to Yun Chang, telling him to collect as many Jingzhou naval forces as possible, and try to avoid fighting when he encounters those who do not surrender." The water army in his hands is now our only family fund, and it must not be easily lost. ”

Seeing that the people behind him followed one after another, Liu Bei and the others got up and wanted to continue their journey.

At the moment when Liu Bei turned around, the corner of his eye seemed to catch a glimpse of something abnormal, and the war sensitivity that had been formed over the years prompted him to turn around again, raise his eyes and look north, and at the end of his vision, there seemed to be a faint dark cloud rolling in.

The dark clouds came very quickly, and in the blink of an eye they became clearer, no, they were not dark clouds at all, they were more like smoke and dust from flying sand.

Suddenly, Liu Bei's face changed, and three words blurted out in his mouth: "Tiger and leopard ride!" ”

When Liu Bei saw the smoke and dust coming from the north, Fang Shao, who was in the rear and was with the heavy army, also noticed it.

Moreover, he discovered the abnormality earlier than Liu Bei, and when he ignored his image and stood on horseback to look around, he couldn't help but change his face.

In the dust and smoke, a black current was rushing rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, Fang Shao's eyes were clearly seen, yes, it was the world-famous tiger and leopard cavalry, the most elite iron cavalry in Cao Ying's army.

"Cao Jun! Cao Jun is here! ”

I don't know who was the first to scream in the crowd, but it didn't matter anymore, when people were attracted by this cry and looked north, thousands of people fell into endless panic in an instant.

Then, the rout began.

Men, women, and children, like frightened birds, wandered directionlessly. In their eyes, the iron cavalry of Cao Jun behind them is like a messenger who rushes out of the gate of hell, and there is nothing more terrifying in this world than them.

The people were fleeing, and the troops responsible for transporting the heavy guns also broke up, these soldiers were old and weak, and their numbers were limited, and it was strange that they did not break up in the face of the world-famous tiger and leopard riders.

For a time, the military and civilians were mixed and ran wildly.

Fang Shao was not panicked at this time, he knew that Cao Ying was chasing more than 300 miles on light horseback, not to slaughter those unarmed people for fun, but to annihilate Liu Bei here.

Sure enough, when Cao Jun's forward approached, he suddenly turned around, bypassing the more than 100,000 people blocked on the avenue, and went straight to Liu Bei's main force at the front.

It's just that what the people can understand, at this time, they only have the word "escape" in their minds, and they don't care which direction Cao Jun is going, they just blindly cover their heads and run around.

The flow of people was already torn apart in a moment, Fang Shao clutched the reins, for fear of being dragged off the horse by a frightened guy, you must know that at this time, the horse under the crotch can be regarded as a life-saving straw.

However, Fang Shao did not ride his horse and gallop, he stared around, looking for the "return" he wanted in the chaotic crowd. Soon, he found the two carriages carrying Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi, and the accompanying soldiers had long since disappeared, and the driver of the car was probably in a mess, and he didn't care about the direction, but only drove the car around.

So Fang Shao rode his horse and chased after him, and after less than a mile, the two cars separated, one continued to look south, and the other went east, Fang Shao hesitated, gritted his teeth and followed the car to the east.

After leaving the avenue, the grass and rocks were overgrown everywhere, and the crowd was scurrying everywhere, and the coachman was so busy whipping his horsewhip that he did not notice a large rock hidden in the grass, and the wheels clashed, and he immediately fell to the ground.

The poor coachman was crushed to death on the spot, and the body that fell to the ground was still dragged away by the two frightened horses. Fang Shao was taken aback, hurriedly rode up, pulled out the sword at his waist, and used the sword method taught by Guan Ping to split the air several times in a row, and finally cut the reins with ease.

Due to its habitual name, the carriage slid several meters further on the grass before stopping.

Fang Shao hurriedly jumped off the horse and rushed up, opening the tattered car window, only to see a young woman covered in blood curled up there moaning, and the baby she was protecting in her arms was still crying.
