Chapter 42 Escape is also a technical job

This day was not only a thrilling day for Fang Shao, but countless people also experienced this nightmare day.

When Liu Bei on the Changban slope recognized that it was the tiger and leopard riding after him, his whole face showed a shocked expression, and the first reaction in his mind was only one word - escape!

That is the sharpest sword under Cao Ying, the tiger and leopard riding across the world!

Among the troops that can be described in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", except for Tao Qian's Danyang soldiers, Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servants, and Gao Shun's trapped camp, only this tiger and leopard cavalry remains.

Legend has it that this invincible cavalry unit is composed of the world's best and can serve as a hundred elders in other troops, but in this army, it can only serve as an ordinary soldier.

It seems to be a tragedy, but on the contrary, it is an honor to be able to join this invincible iron army. And this army is not only the elite, but also Cao Ying's personal soldiers, commanded by Cao Chun, one of the Cao generals that Cao Ying attaches the most importance to.

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.

It's just a thousand cavalry, but it's enough, enough to make the world-famous Liu Bei fearful.

The people around him were also terrified, and followed Liu Bei to witness Jian Yong, who had witnessed the mighty tiger and leopard riding, and said for the first time: "Lord, the tiger and leopard ride is difficult to resist, without further ado, retreat lightly immediately." ”

"No!" Xu Shu waved his hand to refute Jian Yong's proposal, "The cavalry has the advantage of speed, if our army withdraws at this time, it will be killed from behind, and the whole army will inevitably collapse. ”

Zhuge Liang has not experienced the real war scene in the end, and at this time, he did not have much fear when he saw the world-famous tiger and leopard horseman, so he said: "What Yuan Zhi said is extremely true, Liangguan enemy cavalry is not more than a thousand, I think it is the front, if our army is backed by the Changban slope and is in a high formation, it may not be able to withstand the impact of the enemy cavalry." ”

Among these people, Liu Bei had more say in the war than anyone else, and after the initial consternation, he quickly calmed down and ordered in a deep voice: "Yide, quickly lead the whole army to line up according to the slope and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

"Don't worry, brother, I'll go too."

Zhang Fei is not afraid, although he has been with Liu Bei for so many years, he has lost more and won less, but his courage has risen inversely proportional to his record.

However, just when Zhang Fei just wanted to ride his horse downhill, Liu Bei's expression changed and he shouted, "Wait!" ”

Zhang Fei turned around and shouted anxiously: "Brother, there is no time to hesitate. ”

In the blink of an eye, 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.

Xu Shu is good at military affairs, and when he saw this situation, he exclaimed: "It's not good, Cao Jun wants to seize the Dangyang Bridge in the south, they want to wipe us out!" ”

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.

At this time, Liu Bei was completely out of line, so he had to shout "retreat", and then turned over and turned over his horse 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.

At this time, Cao Chun and his 1,000 tigers and leopards rode to kill, with their speed, they could easily surpass Liu Bei and reach Dangyang Bridge first, but the fleeing soldiers and civilians slowed down their speed, and they had to cut down the crowd blocking the road like vegetables, so that the momentum of the cavalry slowed down, and in just this short moment, Liu Bei was given a chance to escape.

When Lu Ma was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth, Liu Bei was finally the first to step on the Dangyang Bridge, he was in a state of escape, and he was not frightened by Cao Jun, as soon as he arrived at the bridge, he waved his sword to stop the soldiers who wanted to cross the bridge and continue to escape, and roared: "There is only one way to escape, and there is a glimmer of life in the side of the bridge, everyone listens to the order and lines up to meet the enemy!" ”

Liu Bei's soldiers have undergone strict training in the end, and after Liu Bei stopped drinking, he quickly calmed down, holding a bridge with a gun, holding a knife with a knife, and more than a thousand people formed a formation in front of the narrow Dangyang Bridge, facing the tiger and leopard iron cavalry that was getting closer and closer.

The first group of iron horsemen, stepping on the road of blood and corpses, rushed to the bridgehead military formation without hesitation.

Liu Bei raised his sword and stood behind the army, and shouted: "Those who dare to retreat from the battle will be killed!" ”

The chaotic scene, full of howling, where the soldiers could hear his cry, it was not that they did not retreat, but that the enemy cavalry came too fast and did not have time to retreat.

Boom!

There was a sound of flesh and blood crashing, and more than a dozen tiger and leopard riders crashed into the formation, like the wind blowing weeds, easily pushing down the soldiers in the front row, the horses' hooves stepped over the human body, and the sound of clattering bones and broken flesh was endless.

The iron horseman in heavy armor was like entering a no-man's land, rampage in the formation, invincible. Seeing that the entire army array was about to collapse the enemy who had broken through with more than a dozen horsemen, at this time, Zhang Fei let out a long roar and led several of his own soldiers to rush down from the Dangyang Bridge and go straight to the enemy cavalry.

The tiger and leopard ride fearlessly, dare to have those who block, and kill without mercy. A black-haired man in front of him rode a horse and danced a spear, and the leader of the junior colonel was even more fearless, slapping the horse and dancing the knife head-on.

The two horses intersected, life and death were only in an instant, the little school's blade swept over, trying to cut Zhang Fei off at the waist, and then when he passed by, Zhang Fei immediately made an iron plate bridge, lay down on his waist, and let the swept big knife stick to his face. Then the figure straightened, and he didn't look back, and his backhand spear stabbed out, only to hear a scream, the little colonel's neck had been pierced, and he was killed on the spot.

The head was killed, and the rest of the tiger and leopard riders were all shocked, and Zhang Fei kept moving, carrying a bloody spear, and killed the enemy horse, and the cold light came out, and five enemy horsemen were cut under the horse one after another.

encountered such a fierce opponent, even the tiger and leopard riders were afraid, and the follow-up men and horses were blocked by the crowd and could not follow, more than a dozen horsemen and horses were alone, and soon under the command of Zhang Fei, they were all cut down by Liu Beijun in the battle.

Stabilizing the corners, Zhang Fei led the crowd to kill again, blocking the tiger and leopard cavalry from continuing to attack, and on the other hand, answering the Wenchen and the people behind to cross the bridge. was about to rise, and suddenly saw more than a dozen of Zhao Yun's subordinates fleeing, Zhang Fei shouted: "Where is Zilong, is the lady and the little prince safe?" ”

One of them replied tremblingly: "Back to the general, General Zhao didn't come to the south, but went to the north, it seems that he went to join Cao's army." ”
