Chapter 232: After Zhang Liao's Break
Linjing has been twenty miles south, Jingshui old river ditch ferry.
Lu Bu led more than 5,000 troops to hurry up, urged the horse to go into the water and tried to go into the water, less than three zhang forward, Jingshui had reached the belly of the war horse, and the mood could not ride across the river, so he immediately turned the horse's head and ran back, shouting: "Find the boat quickly!" β
Wei Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said loudly: "Lord, the nearby fishermen have run out, and it is difficult to find boats in a hurry!" β
Lu Bu said angrily: "If there is no boat, how can you cross the Jingshui?" β
Wei Xu hurriedly said: "The water of the Wild Wolf Beach River five miles downstream of Jingshui is shallow, and you can cross the river by horse!" β
"Let's go!"
Lu Bu immediately broke off, took the red rabbit horse and rushed out like a fiery red shadow.
Three thousand cavalry and more than two thousand foot soldiers roared and hurriedly followed.
At this moment, a scout scout horse galloped over, and the scout soldier on horseback opened his voice and shouted bitterly, "Lord, it's not good, Luo Zheng's army has caught up, and it has reached ten miles away!" β
"What?"
Lu Bu was shocked and said sharply: "How fast did Luo Zheng come to the horseman?" β
Wei Xu rushed over and shouted hurriedly: "Lord, hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late." β
"Let's go!"
Lu Bu didn't talk nonsense anymore, and he was riding his horse in a hurry.
At this moment, the sound of thunderous hooves was already sounding in the distance.
More than 5,000 troops of the state army flew along the uneven river like a frightened bird.
The cavalry was okay, more than 2,000 foot soldiers were still carrying baggage, and they couldn't go fast at all. The thunderous hoofs in the distance were approaching rapidly, Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and gave an order. The army immediately threw away its baggage, scattered it, and the girl ran wildly.
Soon, the river widens ahead. It is more than 20 feet.
"Quick, go down and test the water."
LΓΌbl restrained his horse. Shout.
"Yes!"
Some soldiers had already turned off their horses and led their horses into the river.
However, after a few steps forward, the war horse kicked its hooves and never went in again.
"Fuck!"
The soldiers scolded their mothers in a hurry, pulled the reins hard, and pulled up the river with the war horses.
Some of the soldiers picked up the stone and threw it at it, and smashed it on the horse's buttocks.
The war horse neighed, and immediately got up and rushed forward.
One of the soldiers was caught off guard and was dragged into the water by the war horse, but fortunately he held the reins of the horse in his hand. I turned over a few times, and my head was bleeding from the stones on the riverbed, but I finally got up, but it was very wolf.
"Rubbish!"
Lu Bu scolded angrily, and his face was very ugly.
Smoke and dust rose in the distance, and tens of thousands of cavalry had swept across the mountains.
From Lu Bu to ordinary soldiers, everyone was already burning their eyebrows in a hurry.
However, I didn't know the depth of the water, so I didn't dare to rush into it lightly.
"Kill a beast with a thousand cuts!"
The pro-soldier roared. didn't care about getting soaked, and hurriedly pulled the war horse and continued to move forward.
July is the time when the river is fully watered, and by the time we reach the deepest part of the water level in the center of the river, the river has already overflowed to the waist. The soldiers were beaten several times, and if they had not been holding on to the reins of the war horse, they would have been washed down.
He walked forward more than ten steps. The water level is gradually shallower.
The soldiers walked a few hurried steps, and finally reached the opposite bank. Immediately turned around and shouted, "My lord." I can come here! β
At this moment, the cavalry sweeping through the mountains had reached a mile away.
There was rumbling thunder beneath the sky, and almost no other sound could be heard.
"Less nonsense, General Ben saw it!"
Lu Bu scolded, and immediately waved his hand, "Cross the river!" β
The three thousand cavalry immediately dismounted, and quickly led the war horse into the water, the river was full of stones, uneven, and the deepest water level had reached the horse's belly, and the war horse could not cross the river with a load, even if he barely rushed over, he had to scrap his hooves.
In front of the cavalry formation.
Jia Xu panted and caught up with his horse, and said loudly: "General, the state army is crossing the river!" β
"No need to be reminded by Wen He, General Ben has already seen it!"
Luo Zheng waved his hand and shouted: "Kill, the reward for killing Lu Bu is a thousand gold!" β
"Whoa!"
Tens of thousands of cavalry roared in unison, urged their horses, and rushed straight to the river.
"Not good!"
Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, Zhang Liao and others changed their faces all together, which was really fatal.
Lu Bu's face also became extremely ugly in an instant, and he flicked the horse's head violently, and was ready to personally lead the army to break off.
Zhang Liaomeng gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Please cross the river quickly, and the last general is willing to lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to break off." β
Lu Bu's mind turned sharply, so he gritted his teeth and said categorically: "Okay, Wen Yuan can lead more than 2,000 foot soldiers to break off, and be sure to block the time of a pillar of incense for Luo Zheng's army to buy time for the general's army to cross the river!" β
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao responded suddenly, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, flew on the horse's back, and said sharply: "Sons, come with so-and-so!" β
More than 2,000 foot soldiers did not dare to disobey the order, so they had to bite the bullet and quickly lined up, preparing to meet the enemy.
Hundreds of steps away, in front of the cavalry formation, Lu Bu who saw it divided his troops to intercept him, Luo Zheng immediately shouted: "Where is Yan Xing?" β
"The last general!"
Yan Xing hurriedly urged him to step forward immediately, and he asked for his life.
Luo Zheng said sharply: "Lead three thousand cavalry to break through the enemy formation!" β
"Order!"
Yan Xinghu roared, and immediately rushed over with three thousand cavalry.
Jia Xu rushed up and said quickly: "General, after Lu Bu left more than 2,000 foot soldiers, it is obvious that he wants to abandon the car to protect the commander, and it is difficult for our army to rush over in a hurry, so we can quickly divide our troops from the upstream and downstream to find another shoal to cross the river, and quickly pursue!" β
Luo Zheng's mind turned sharply, and he said categorically: "Good, quickly divide the troops and find another shoal to cross the river!" β
A herald had already issued a military order, and the army immediately split into two and rushed upstream.
At this time, the 3,000 cavalry led by Yan Xing had already collided with the more than 2,000 foot soldiers left behind by Lu Bu, and the earth-shattering shouts and terrible screams rushed into the sky in an instant, and the bloody light of the Dao Dao shot out, and the stumps flew wildly.
While!
Yan Xing and Zhang Liao fought hard, and suddenly felt a tightness in their chests, and their blood was churning. His arms were tired and he couldn't help but be surprised. In the past, when LΓΌ Bu raised troops to attack Jincheng, Yan Xing did not go out with the army. Therefore, Zhang Liao, who didn't know him, turned around after the war horse rushed out of dozens of steps, and shouted: "Who are you, kill a nameless ghost who doesn't kill you!" β
"Don't be ashamed!"
Zhang Liao sneered: "A certain is Zhang Liao, eat a certain shot!" β
"It turns out that this guy is Zhang Liao!"
Yan Xing's heart was awe-inspiring, he had heard that Zhang Liaowu was brave, and in the past, under the city of Yuzhong, General Xu Chu fought more than 300 battles before he could break it. If it really deserves its name, he immediately urged the horse to gallop forward, and shouted: "Why don't you take ten more shots!" β
By this time, all of Lu Bu's 3,000 cavalry had been launched, and more than half of the cavalry had crossed the Jingshui to the opposite bank.
The slowest walker had reached the middle of the river, but the horses were frightened, and people were constantly being dragged down in the water, although the wolves were very bad. Soaking wet, most of the cavalry were able to climb a few times with their reins in their hands.
Only occasionally a few unlucky ones didn't grasp the reins and were washed away by the water. He never got up again.
On the uneven river beach, 3,000 cavalry and more than 2,000 foot soldiers were killed in a group, but they were limited by the terrain. It was difficult for the cavalry to take advantage of this until LΓΌ Bu's army had all crossed Jingshui. Only then did more than 2,000 troops retreat.
As for Yan Xing and Zhang Liao, the two of them were excited to kill. Just ignore the roar and fight.
Yan Xing was bent on beheading Zhang Liao, making a move to kill him, and struggling to attack.
Zhang Liao didn't want to fight, and wanted to gather the army, but he was dragged by Yan Xing and couldn't be separated.
Hundreds of steps ago, Luo Zheng stopped at Lema, seeing that Yan Xing and Zhang Liao were fighting viciously, and the sky was dark, he couldn't help but show joy and said: "Lu Bu actually let Zhang Liao lead the army to break off, good, it's just great!" β
Xu Chu scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Lord, what's so good about this?" β
Luo Zheng reprimanded: "What do you know, go, lead five hundred iron guards to charge the battle, immediately kill and disperse the Bingzhou army, and then let Yan Xing drag Zhang Liao to the death of General Ben, don't let Zhang Liao run away, and capture Zhang Liao alive for General Ben after breaking the Bingzhou army!" β
"This ......"
Xu Chu hesitated: "If the five hundred iron guards rush into battle, who will protect the lord and the master!" β
"Go!"
Luo Zheng scolded angrily: "Isn't this general even able to deal with a few defeated soldiers?" β
"Yes!"
Xu Chu didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he hurriedly answered the order loudly and led five hundred iron guards to kill him.
On the other side of the river.
"Lord, let's go!"
Wei Xu rushed to Lu Buma with a horse, and said in a hurry: "Luo Zheng has divided his troops to cross the river, if he doesn't leave, Zhang Liao can only delay for half an hour at most, and when Luo Zheng's army crosses Jingshui, our army will not be able to go." β
"Alas, that's it!"
Lu Bu sighed, took one last look at Zhang Liao, who was fighting the other side, and urged the horse to leave.
Speaking from the heart, although Zhang Liao is younger and has little qualifications, he has both wisdom and courage, and is a rare talent.
"General, Lu Bu is gone!"
Jia Xu kept staring at the other side, and when he saw Lu Bu leaving, he hurriedly said to Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng glanced at Lu Bu's back, frowned, and said, "Hasn't our army crossed Jingshui yet?" β
Jia Xu was also a little anxious, and said: "At present, the river is abundant, Jingshui is the largest river in Anding, and the depth of the upstream and downstream water is no longer above the head, and it is impossible to cross the river at all, and this should be the only place where the river can flow." β
Luo Zheng's face was a little ugly, but then he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Lu Bu will run away, but you can't let Zhang Liao run anymore." As long as Zhang Liao can be caught, even if he runs away from Lu Bu, General Ben will not lose! β
Jia Xu thought deeply and said: "What the general said is extremely true, this Zhang Liao is a rare general!" β
Luo Zheng said 'um' and said, "Recall the army, let Xu Chu go to fight Zhang Liao with Yan Xing, just capture him alive, and don't hurt Zhang Liao's life." Let five hundred guards surround the battlefield for General Ben. β
"Yes!"
A herald answered with a loud voice, and immediately urged the horse to gallop out.
Soon, five hundred iron guards broke into the battlefield from the flank, and after killing the more than 2,000 Hezhou troops who had retreated to the river, Xu Chu's gang immediately rushed over, brandished a broadsword and joined the battlefield, and fought Zhang Liao with Yan Xing.
