Chapter 1402: Abandoned Son
Leaving the barracks, Liu Bei almost didn't even turn back once along the way, he even seemed to be afraid that he would go slower and be caught up by the Han army.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang led hundreds of Jingzhou troops to withdraw from the barracks and retreated all the way in the direction away from Bowang, while the two brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led 4,500 Jingzhou troops to ambush the Han army.
Lying dormant in the grass on the side of the road, staring at the road where the Han army was about to appear without blinking, Mi Fang whispered to Mi Zhu: "Brother, I don't know if the Han army will attack the imperial uncle!" ”
Shaking his head, Mi Zhu lowered his voice with a solemn face and said to Mi Fang: "I don't know, that Zhuge Liang has joined the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle is obedient to him, but he has never seen him make a big contribution." This time our army marched north, he transferred the two generals of Guan and Zhang to Bowang Valley, and so far he has not received the news of the triumph of the two generals. ”
"That being the case, why does Uncle Huang still trust that Zhuge Liang?" Tightly frowning, Mi Fang muttered in a low voice: "If he is just a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and he is trusted by the imperial uncle by deception, when this battle is over, he will be killed!" ”
Turning his head and glancing at Mi Fang, Mi Zhu didn't say anything.
I have been following Liu Bei for many years, and I also know Liu Bei as a person.
Since Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang, he must be able to get something from Zhuge Liang.
Mi Zhu was not full of resentment when he mentioned Zhuge Liang like Mi Fang, but he wanted to see what kind of ideas Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei in this battle!
While Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were whispering, a pro-soldier squatting behind them raised his hand and pointed forward, lowered his voice and said to them: "Two generals, the enemy army is coming!" ”
Following the direction of the soldier's finger, the two brothers looked around, and sure enough, they saw the battle flag of the Han army appear at the end of the path.
The Han army appeared at the end of the path, which was somewhat unexpected by the two.
If the Han army really defeated Liu Bei, they would definitely be busy cleaning up the battlefield, and it would be impossible for them to turn back so quickly.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei gave Mi Zhu and Mi Fang two possible orders.
One is that the Han army did not withdraw, but set up camp near the Chinese army, if so, the soldiers and horses led by the two would wait until dawn the next day to suddenly attack the Han army.
Another possibility is that the Han army did not attack Liu Bei's Chinese army, but immediately withdrew and returned by the same route.
In this case, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's task is to lead the soldiers and horses to intercept and kill in the middle of the road.
With 10,000 Han troops, it is impossible not to panic when four or five thousand Jingzhou troops suddenly come out on both sides of the road.
Once the Han army is in a panic, it is not impossible to win this battle with 4,500 Jingzhou troops.
Staring at the direction in which Han Jun appeared, Mi Fang tightly clutched the hilt of the long sword at his waist, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat due to nervousness.
The Jingzhou army lurking in the grass on the side of the road, except for Mi Zhu's expression, the other soldiers were also like Mi Fang, and their nervous palms were covered with beads of sweat.
Every Jingzhou soldier knows what kind of opponent they will face in this battle.
The strength of the Han army, they have heard of it before, but they have never had the opportunity to fight it.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led the army to intercept the main force of the Han army, although the Han army did not succeed in breaking through the interception of the two, the two never sent back the news of Song Kai.
The confrontation with the Han army was not short, and the longer Guan Yu and Zhang Fei continued to confront each other, the more unfavorable the whole situation would be for the Jingzhou army.
Although the officers and men of the Jingzhou army did not have the authority to command the whole army, some of them were not completely without wisdom, at least they could still see the strength and weakness of the two sides clearly.
Staring at the Han army ranks that were getting closer and closer, the Jingzhou army lurking in the grass was like a taut bowstring, just waiting for the Han army to come close and rush forward to start a fight.
Staring at the Han army that was gradually marching towards them, Mi Zhu raised an arm.
When he raised his arm, Mi Zhu's brows were tightly locked.
Looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were getting closer and closer, he didn't have much confidence in the success or failure of this battle.
If it was the Cao army back then, Mi Zhu might still feel that they would definitely win this battle, but the combat power of the Han army had already exceeded his cognition.
The Han army was getting closer and closer, and seeing that it had reached a place where it was only thirty or fifty steps away from Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, Mi Zhu fiercely darkened his arm downward, but did not make a sound.
As soon as his arm was pressed, the Jingzhou army lying dormant in the grass stood up one after another, raised the longbow with the arrow, and fired a puff of feather arrows at the Han army.
Countless arrows flew towards the marching Han army with a strong wind.
When the soldiers of the Jingzhou army got up from the grass, the Han army on the march had also discovered them.
The soldiers of the Han army who suddenly encountered the enemy army did not become as confused as Mi Zhu and Mi Fang expected, but instead blocked their shields in front of them one after another and lined up a simple shield array.
Countless soldiers of the Han army who flew towards the Han army and lined up at the front had already blocked their shields in front of them, forming a shield array that was not airtight, but it was enough to block most of the arrows.
The rain of arrows was wrapped in a strong wind, and it fell towards the Han army.
Countless arrows hit the shield held by the Han army, making a "crackling" sound as fine as raindrops hitting the surface of an umbrella.
The arrows that fell on the shield, under the strong force, were broken into two pieces and fell one after another at the feet of the Han soldiers.
There were also some arrows at tricky angles, which passed through the gap between the shields and hit the Han soldiers behind the shields.
The soldiers of the Han army who were shot by the arrows fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
Bearing the sudden attack of the Jingzhou army, Sima Yi hid behind a shield and shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Pass the order, advance immediately, and completely kill this enemy army!" ”
As soon as Sima Yi gave the order, many Han troops immediately ran out of the array, holding shields, shouting and rolling towards the Jingzhou army that was firing arrows at them like a tide.
The speed with which the Han army reacted and the speed with which they launched a counterattack was completely beyond Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's expectations.
It was also the reaction of the Han army and the swiftness of their counterattack that made the two completely understand that with this little soldier and horse they led, it was impossible to be the opponent of the Han army!
A burst of despair arose in her heart, Mi Fang raised her face and sighed softly.
Mi Zhu on the side had a cold face, muttering in his heart, in this battle, the two brothers must have been used as a meat shield by Liu Bei again, and were left behind to block the Han army, Liu Bei at this time, I am afraid that he did not know where to run.
The two brothers joined Liu Bei back then, thinking that Liu Bei was a benevolent and righteous lord, and they also married their sister-in-law to this world-famous "imperial uncle".
I don't want to, Liu Bei has repeatedly discarded their sister-in-law, if it weren't for Lu Bu's affection, Cao Cao's righteousness, and didn't harm Liu Bei's family, their sister-in-law would have died many times!
The sister-in-law was abandoned by Liu Bei, although the two brothers were a little unhappy in their hearts, they didn't say much, after all, they were still acting under Liu Bei.
Now Liu Bei knew that the Han army was strong, and he still wanted to leave them here to intercept and kill strong enemies, obviously treating them as outcasts.
With a sadness in his heart, Mi Zhu let out a long sigh and said to Mi Fang on the side: "I'm afraid that the two of us are going to be martyred for the emperor's uncle this time!" ”
Hearing Mi Zhu's words, Mi Fang also felt a burst of unwillingness in her heart.
I wanted to order the evacuation, but after thinking about it, the Han army had already been killed, if they evacuated at this time, the soldiers would completely expose their backs in front of the Han army, I am afraid that they would not be able to escape far, they would be caught up by the Han army and all killed, Mi Fang finally had to give up the idea of escaping.
Glancing at each other with Mi Zhu, Mi Fang took out the long sword on his waist, pointed the tip of the sword diagonally upwards to the sky, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the enemy army is twice as large as me, I have no other way unless I fight to the death today, follow this general, kill!" ”
gave the order to charge to the soldiers of the Jingzhou army, but Mi Fang did not hesitate and rushed forward to meet the Han army.
In the face of the Han soldiers rushing over like a tide, the courage of the Jingzhou soldiers is gradually timid, and Mi Fang's sudden rush out of the action really made the soldiers feel a shock in their hearts, and many Jingzhou soldiers only felt a sense of pride surging from the soles of their feet and rushing to the top door.
The door of the brain was hit by pride, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army let out a loud shout, followed closely behind Mi Fang, and killed the Han army.
It was none other than Yu Ban, who led the Han army to lead the charge.
Seeing Mi Fang brandishing a long sword and killing him head-on, Yu Ban secretly shouted hello in his heart, and also held the blade and rushed towards Mi Fang.
The two of them each led their soldiers and horses, as if they were afraid that if they slowed down a little, they would be robbed of the credit by others, and rushed towards each other like a gust of wind.
The two armies, which were not particularly numerous, galloped toward each other in the rather spacious wilderness.
With the loud sound of shields colliding with shields, the two armies finally collided in one place.
Yu Ban, who rushed to the front, when he crashed into Mi Fang, he toe to the ground, and the whole person jumped up in the air and hit Mi Fang with his shoulder.
Yu Ban's movements were too sudden, Mi Fang didn't expect him to give up his blade at all, and hit himself with his shoulder, and before he could react to what was going on, he was hit hard in the chest.
The chest was slammed by Yu Ban's shoulder, and Mi Fang quickly took a few steps back, but fortunately a group of Jingzhou soldiers held him up, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
Supported by a group of Jingzhou soldiers, after Mi Fang stood firm, he waved his long sword forward, and shouted with an angry face: "Soldiers, kill!" ”
