Fifty-five times desperate to survive
Half a month ago, Liu Bei, the Yuzhou Mu in Lu Su's mouth, was fleeing in embarrassment.
When he walked to the slope of Changsaka, Liu Bei suddenly saw the dust flying five miles behind him, and he could vaguely see those wearing black black iron armor holding Pu knives. "Tiger and leopard riding" A chilling word popped out of Liu Bei's mouth, a simple word, not only made Liu Bei but also the soldiers around Liu Bei want to be broken.
That is the sharpest sword under Cao Ying, the tiger and leopard riding across the world!
Starting from the conquest of the Yellow Turbans, there were only a handful of powerful cavalry in the entire Han Dynasty. It is nothing more than Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant, Dong Zhuo's flying bear cavalry, Lu Bu's Bingzhou iron cavalry and Cao Ying's tiger and leopard cavalry. Now, except for Ma Teng's son Ma Chao, there are still some shadows of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but they are far inferior to the Flying Bear Army in the past, and the other cavalry have been made of soil. It can be said that today's tiger and leopard cavalry can assume the title of the first cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
This invincible cavalry unit is composed of the best in the world, and can serve as a hundred elders in other troops, but in this army, it can only act as an ordinary soldier. It seems to be very tragic, but it is not, it is an honor to be able to join this invincible iron army that is unparalleled in the world. And this army is not only elite, but also Cao Ying's personal soldiers, which was built and personally commanded by Cao Chun, one of the Cao generals that Cao Ying valued the most. And Cao Chun himself can also be called a cavalry master, chasing Lu Bu in the past. After Cao Chun's death, Cao Ying even said in front of the five good generals, the relatives of the Cao clan and the Xia Hou clan: "The ratio of purity, how can it be restored!" I am not the only one who is evil? ”
Today, this force of about 5,000 tigers and leopards was personally led by Cao Ying, traveled 300 miles, and it took only one day to chase to Changbanpo. At this time, what Liu Bei saw was not most of Cao Ying, but a thousand pioneers in the front led by Cao Chun.
But this one, which is only a thousand black torrents, under the leadership of Cao Chun, is enough to make any general of the Han Dynasty fearful. And Liu Bei, who fled in panic, was even more so.
"Run" is the only thought in everyone's minds. At this time, when he followed Liu Bei for a long time, Sun Qian, who had seen the tiger and leopard riding powerfully, said: "The tiger and leopard people should not be lightly blocked, the lord still ordered everyone to retreat lightly!" ”
Liu Bei hadn't spoken yet, "No! Xu Shu waved his hand to refute Sun Gan's proposal, "The enemy army is several times faster than the cavalry, if our army retreats at this time, it will be killed from behind, and our army will collapse immediately. ”
Zhuge Liang on the side, Gao Wolongzhong thought that he had mastered the general trend of the world, but he had never seen the majesty of the tiger and leopard riding. As the saying goes, if you don't know, you are fearless, and said: "That's right, the enemy army is only a thousand horsemen." If our army leans on a high slope and ranks on a high position, it should be able to resist it. ”
Speaking of the big tent, although Liu Bei did not have many victories, he had a lot of experience. Of course, I know what the consequences will be if I expose my back to the cavalry: "Third brother, uncle." Immediately lead my guards to line up against the hillside, and be sure to resist the tiger and leopard for an hour. ”
"Wow" flashed out on the side of a fair-skinned man with a somewhat bookish atmosphere, and it was Zhang Fei who was holding the Eight Snake Spear in his hand. But Chen Zhi stood silently behind Zhang Fei and didn't say a word.
When Zhang Fei and Chen Zhi took the order, Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu: "Military advisor, General Xu, immediately urge the people to quickly go to the river, Yun Chang's naval army has arrived at the riverside." After Zhuge Liang arrived, Xu Shu was transferred to a military position and was appointed by Liu Bei as a military general.
Zhuge Liang said: "My lord, as soon as the second general's navy arrives, he will immediately transport the soldiers to Hanyang and Liu Qi. Cao's army has pursued to this point, and Jiangling is not safe. I made my own suggestion and let Liu Pan, the Taishou of Nanjun, transport the soldiers and military grain to Jiangxia. ”
Liu Bei didn't blame when he heard this, and said: "The military advisor is very worried. Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei's expression returned to consternation, the reason was very simple, the tiger and leopard rode past the ranks of the people, and seemed to be rushing towards them, but suddenly changed direction halfway, as if they were going to go around behind them.
"Not good" Xu Shu, who was proficient in military affairs and had extensive knowledge, exclaimed: "The enemy army is trying to seize the Dangyang Bridge. A good Cao Chun is really powerful. But Liu Bei was not in the mood to praise Cao Chun.
A few miles away from Wangnan is an unknown river, although it is only more than ten zhang wide, but its water is quite deep, within a radius of dozens of miles, there is only a bridge called "Dangyang" that can cross the river.
At his suggestion, Cao Chun temporarily changed his strategy and turned to the Dangyang Bridge behind Liu Beijun, who only needed to occupy this bridge, and could form a north-south attack on Liu Bei with Cao Ying's brigade behind him, and annihilate him here.
It's not the first time that Liu Bei has escaped for his life, and his mind is quite stable. said to Xu Shu: "Does Yuan Zhi have a plan? At the most critical moment, Liu Bei's first thought was Xu Shu instead of Zhuge Liang. After all, Zhuge Liang did not have a good record in his fledgling career, but Xu Shu repeatedly defeated Cao Ren, Xiahoudun and other Cao army generals. At this critical moment in Liu Bei's heart, Xu Shu is more reliable......
When Xu Shu heard this, he first glanced at Zhuge Liang who was sinking like water on the side, according to Xu Shu's understanding of him, Zhuge Liang was probably apprehensive, but Liu Bei asked and couldn't help but answer: "You can send the Yide Speed Army to resist on the bridge, and the army will withdraw quickly."
Liu Bei also had no choice but to let Zhang Fei take the risk, and then shouted "withdraw" and then turned over and ran towards Dangyang Bridge, and the rest of the deployers had no will to fight, so they just followed Liu Bei all the way to the south.
So, thousands of soldiers and people fled in the wilderness, what a spectacular scene, Liu Bei took the lead, under the escort of Zhang Fei, squeezed a way out of the crowd, and desperately went to Dangyang Bridge.
However, it was Liu Bei's good luck, even so, Cao Chun didn't catch up with him. On the contrary, his subordinate Zhang Fei achieved the prestige of saving Liu Chan in the army of Dangyang and Zhao Zilong. And by the time Cao Ying's army came, the people had already taken Guan Yu's ship to Hanyang. Liu Bei and his soldiers happened to be on the last batch of building boats.
Looking at Liu Bei on the boat, Cao Ying was full of emotion in his heart. "It's always so late, is Liu Da'er really a blessing from heaven?" Looking at the military prestige of hundreds of generals and tens of thousands of soldiers behind Cao Ying, Liu Bei also sighed with emotion, "Is it him Cao Mengde chasing me every time?" ”
Not to mention Liu Bei and Cao Ying, who were big-eyed and small-eyed, Qiao Ren's meticulous work sent to Xinye finally came in handy. In the midst of the chaos, Qiao Ren's subordinates accurately found Xu Shu's mother and deceived her to Jiangdong in the name of Zhuge Jin. If Liu Bei arrived in Hanyang and found that Xu's mother was missing, Xu's mother would probably be about to arrive in Jianye.
On the river, the boat on which Liu Bei was sitting was far behind. Suddenly, a shadow appeared in the east, and those who knew the goods would know that it was a large number of ships arriving. Liu Bei's army did not have a ship, and Cao Ying took all the nine counties of Jingxiang, which means that on the Han River, it is not only Guan Yu's army.
Liu Bei was about to give the order to escape, but at this time, Zhuge Liang said: "Don't panic, the lord doesn't panic, it may not be Cao Jun in my opinion." If the Cao army is determined to kill us all, then Nagasaka was chasing after him in the first battle, why bother to come with a water army, and according to the intelligence, the Jingzhou water army is still in Xiangyang, and there are only the generals and Liu Gongzi's water army nearby. ”
Liu Bei may have been a little mentally disturbed because he had just fallen the child, but when he heard Zhuge Liang say it, his heart calmed down and said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, Yide and Zilong, quickly line up." ”
So, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led less than twenty soldiers, and they lined up in two rows, one of them holding a bow and the other holding a Ge to block the front, looking like they were ready to fight to the death. I don't know what the use of them lining up in a small boat is, if it is really Cao Junlou's ship that hits, they will all be finished.
Coming to wear quickly approached, and from a distance, there were about five ships that were all several feet high, and the clothes and armor were all gray and white instead of Cao Jun's black.
At this time, Yi Yi came to Liu Bei's side and said with a happy face: "Lord, it's the people from Jiangdong who came, and the person at the bow of the ship is not Zhuge Ziyu, the brother of the military advisor." ”
"Is it really Zhuge Jin? What is he doing here? Liu Bei said confusedly, but his words were obviously much more relaxed.
Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Now that the Cao army is going south, Jiangdong has also heard about it, if the Cao thief wins Jingzhou, the next target must be Jiangdong, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are both smart people, and they must know that he can stop it with his own strength, and only by uniting with the lord can he resist the Cao army." I expect my brother to come here to find out the truth of the lord. ”
Liu Bei looked excited and said, "If Sun Ce really has this intention, then our army will definitely be in a desperate situation." If the senior brother really came for the union, he would be able to promise him. ”
