A flickering bonfire turned the faces of several people in front of the fire, and a simple stove was erected next to the fire, and a helmet of unknown people was set up in the flames. The helmet was put on fire by them, and it was immediately turned into a helmet pot.

Zhang Fu, the bearded team, sprinkled a handful of beans into the boiling helmet pot, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man next to him who looked very much like him also hurriedly took out a few pieces of beef jerky from his body, and a few dried fish also hurriedly threw them into the pot. Immediately, bursts of aroma wafted out.

"Goo!" The stomachs of several people gathered around the fire rang.

The slearched, thin, wrinkled, dark-skinned old man couldn't wait to untie a spoon from his waist and stir it in the pot, and after a few stirrings, his left hand had already taken a large bamboo tube from his waist and stretched it out.

"Old Zhangtou, you know how to eat, this bean just threw it in not long ago, be careful to eat it and run to death for you." Team Zheng Zhang Fu scolded with a smile.

When Lao Zhangtou heard this, he poured the beans that had been scooped up back into the pot, and finally scooped only a small spoonful of soup. didn't care that the soup was still hot, Lao Zhangtou blew hard, and drank the small spoonful of soup with a sigh. After drinking, he wiped his mouth with some unsatisfactory thoughts.

"If you eat it, eat it quickly, otherwise, I don't know if there will be a chance to eat the last bite." If we want to die, we have to be a full ghost, but we don't want to be a starving ghost. The old man turned his head to look at the river that was only more than a thousand steps away, and his tone was full of gloom.

After hearing this, Zhang Fu and the other two people were also silent, and after a while, everyone took off the spoon and bamboo tube on their waists and scooped them into the helmet pot together. Lao Zhangtou is right, he wants to die. That's going to have to be a dead man, too.

Team leader Zhang Fu is the largest official among the four, and he is in charge of the team chief officer of 50 people. But now. There were only three people left in his team. Even he himself was only four people, not even a gang.

However, Zhang Fu has long experienced such a thing, and he doesn't know how many times he has experienced it. Although the armor Zhang Fu is wearing now is the standard equipment of the Wei army, in fact. Zhang Fu is not Li Mi's descendant. His leader is Wang Bo, who is known as Zhishilang. In the seventh year of the Great Cause, he was the first to rebel because he was willing to go to Liaodong to fight.

Wang Bo joined the army, but Zhang Fu, who was also unwilling to be sent to death in Liaodong, rebelled with Wang Bo. It's a pity. Although their fame has long been spread throughout the world. But their luck wasn't very good. It's been almost ten years since the incident. But in the past ten years, they were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court officials and soldiers, and later by the private soldiers of the clan, and in the end, even the rebels from the peasant army also beat their ideas.

Zhang Fu still remembers the time when they were the most numerous. There are 100,000 people, and they are also walking sideways in Shandong. At that time. Zhang Fu's subordinates brought a full 5,000 people, and they also wore a set of robbed armor of the Sui army generals, not to mention how majestic they were. But this majesty didn't last long, and Zhang Xutuo arrived.

He still remembers that battle, when they joined forces with Zuo Xiaoyou and other rebels, a total of 200,000 people, to fight a small county town with a lot of food. Zhang Xutuo actually took the four horsemen and rushed towards them.

Five horsemen against the 20,000 horses in the former barracks of their coalition army, and he will never forget that battle. Because they were the ones who lost in the end that time, Zhang Xutuo came to entangle and delay, and everyone fell for him. chased him for a long time, but did not kill him, but Zhang Xutuo's Eight Winds Battalion arrived. The Eight Winds Battalion, which was less than 10,000 people, not only defeated the 20,000 horses in their former military camp, but also rushed straight to their camp with a great victory, and finally killed the 200,000 rebel coalition troops into a crushing army, and chased and killed more than 100 miles, and the blood flowed like a sea. …,

Since that defeat, their rebel army has never recovered, Wang Bo took their more than 10,000 remnants of the army to Zhang Jincheng, Liu Badao, Zuo Xiaoyou, and Meng Rang. In the end, like other rebels, thousands of remnants defected to Li Mi, the leader of the World Alliance.

After defecting to Li Mi, their team was reorganized into a battalion by Li Mi, and the leader Wang Bo hung the rank of general with a miscellaneous name, and he finally became a team leader, with only fifty brothers left under his hands.

voted for Li Mi, changed the armor of the Wei army, and played the banner of the Wei army, but they were still just miscellaneous cards in Li Mi's eyes. This time to ambush Chen Kefu, their battalion, like other rebels who defected to Li Mi, was arranged to ambush the Hebei Navy Division on the Yellow River.

When Zhang Fu now thinks of the water battle just now, his whole body trembles uncontrollably. He only remembered that the dragon in the sky, with the thunderbolt serpent, spat out countless lightning bolts at their fleet and turned them into rockets, burning most of the hundreds of ships they had pieced together. Most of the more than 10,000 soldiers were either burned to death, or jumped into the water and were stabbed to death by the Hebei army.

Only a few people like the four of them who have seen it early, and who are good at water, have escaped.

The four of them fell silent again, just sitting there silently roasting the fire.

After a long time, the youngest young man asked Zhang Fu, "Uncle, do you think that the Hebei soldiers will come ashore?" ”

Several people trembled when they heard this, their faces were ugly, and Zhang Fu said helplessly, "King Wei has blocked the Hebei soldiers here, and now we are trapped in the cage of a fierce tiger." Unfortunately, we're all in the cage. ”

The young man's name was Zhang Erniu, and he was the second son of Zhang Fu's eldest brother. At the beginning, the three brothers of Zhang Fu rebelled with their sons and nephews, but after seven or eight years, only their uncle and nephew were left in the Zhang family. Erniu, who was less than ten years old at the beginning, has now become a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

The young man was very brave, he had not seen Zhang Xutuo's five horsemen against 200,000 back then, but in today's battle, the Hebei soldiers easily defeated 10,000 of them without any effort, but it made him shake in his heart.

"Uncle, I heard that our hometown is now under the rule of Chen Pojun, I heard that there are no more soldiers and bandits in Shandong now, and the common people have gone home to farm, Chen Kefu gives cattle and plows to fields, I heard that if young people like me don't have wives, they will also help Xu to match a foreign woman as a wife. Uncle, otherwise, let's go back to our hometown in Shandong. It's been almost ten years, and if we continue to fight, there will be no one left in our family. ”

Zhang Erniu spoke without scruples about the old Zhang Tou and Third Brother Zhang next to him, all four of them came out of the same Zhuangzi. The people who turn around are all relatives, not to mention that they have been together for so many years, and the relationship between them has long been closer than that of ordinary brothers.

Zhang Fu was a little moved when he heard this, in fact, he was already desperate, and he was ready to die here today. After they fled to the shore, the Wei generals on the shore refused to let them go to the rear, but instead let all the defeated troops gather at the front of the south bank. Sandwiched between King Wei's army and Chen Kefu's sailors, how can there be a way to live.

Zhang Fu's face was full of helplessness, and finally nodded in the firelight, "The four of us don't scatter anymore, we will leave when we have the opportunity, there is no good result for Li Mi to sell his life, let's go back to our hometown." ”

The faces of the four of them showed a smile that they had not seen for a long time.

Suddenly, the defeated soldiers who were lying on the ground resting in twos and threes around them became in a commotion, and panicked voices came from time to time.

Zhang Futeng, who was full of beard, stood up, his eyes were bright and bright. One hand had already picked up the bright horizontal knife, and the other three people reacted very quickly when they saw this, each picked up their shields and horizontal knives, leaned towards Zhang Fu, and formed a small circle, with their backs inward, and outward guard, making preparations for battle. …,

"Hebei soldiers made the first move!" Zhang Fu's tone was cold and emotionless.

"Uncle, what now, do you want to go back?" Zhang Erniu said in a little panic.

Zhang Fu shook his head, he was standing here only four or five hundred steps away from the shore, and he was even within the attack range of the terrifying weapons of the Hebei soldiers. He clearly saw that the fleet of ships in Hebei was already squeezing towards the south bank like a heavy dark cloud.

Although he was born as a peasant, he had been mixed in the rebel army for so many years, and there were not 1,000 but 300 battles large and small. He quickly judged that the Hebei soldiers were about to prepare for landing. And at such a time, it was the best chance for the Wei army to defeat the Hebei soldiers.

The battleships of the Hebei soldiers were tall, and the Wei army did not have rival warships and could not fight a water battle with them. But if the Hebei soldiers abandoned the boat and fought on land, this would be in the hands of the Wei army. In particular, the Hebei soldiers also planned to land in front of more than 100,000 Wei troops, which was undoubtedly a losing move.

When the Hebei soldiers landed, for a time the tidal flats on the shore were completely within the attack range of the Wei army, not to mention, when they landed, the Hebei soldiers would inevitably have some confusion. The Hebei soldiers could not quickly deploy a defensive formation, so it was undoubtedly a very stupid move to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army head-on.

Zhang Fu shook his head, a little puzzled how the Hebei Army could suddenly lose its standard so much. But now he has no time to worry about the Hebei army, he is in the middle of the Hebei army and the Wei army. Whether the Hebei soldiers attack or the Wei army runs over, they will be the first to fall.

"Quick, everyone, come with me to the east!" Zhang Fu did not retreat with anyone.

Retreating at this time, it is undoubtedly going straight to their own position, and behind them are Li Mi's elite men, and when they go back, the generals of the Wei army will definitely shoot them to death in front of the formation as soon as possible, and they will not let them disrupt their formation.

Forward, too, is death. Even if he has the idea of surrendering, but there are no eyes on the battlefield, whether he can run in front of them is still one thing. After thinking about it, Zhang Fu decided that only by avoiding the location of the tidal flat and the center and going east to the west bank of Luoshui could he have a glimmer of life.

The four men were holding their shields and carrying their swords and galloping eastward, and before they had gone far, they heard the sound of neat steps coming from the southern position, followed by the shouting and scolding of the officers, and then the drawing of the bows of the archers. The next moment, countless bowstrings sounded, followed by screams one after another, and unwilling scolding, those miscellaneous soldiers who had fled from the Yellow River battle like them had fallen in front of the Wei army's advancing array.
