Chapter 17: Defeat and Exile
Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were mostly foot soldiers, running all the way, tired, although the soldiers and horses were three times that of Cao Cao, but they were attacked by the tiger and leopard riding with thunder, and the two armies fought.
Liu Bei appeared to be in chaos, and the tiger and leopard rode left and right, and rushed down three times. Liu Bei's entire army was defeated.
Cao Cao ordered Cao Chun to take advantage of the situation to rush straight to Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led their own soldiers to block, but Cao Bing came from all over the world, and he thought that the tiger and leopard cavalry were well-trained, and each other's attack and defense were very orderly.
Liu Bei had no choice but to lead Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and dozens of other horsemen to flee in embarrassment.
Cao Chun drank the order to kill Liu Bei's soldiers and horses on all sides, and hoped that the people would kill, and then divided the troops to attack, and the two sides were copied, and Liu Bei was completely annihilated.
Liu Bei panicked and ran away. In the chaos of the army, there is no other care. Finally, the tiger and leopard cavalry attack slowed down a little before stopping. When everyone saw that Zhao Yun was gone, they said to Liu Bei: "Lord, Zhao Yun is nowhere to be seen, it must be Cao Cao from the north."
Liu Bei said angrily: "Nonsense, Zilong Zhi is stronger than Jin, how can he be a person who surrenders on his knees." Don't wait for nonsense. ”
Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei again: "Third brother, you can pick up Zilong and the scattered soldiers and civilians here, and move with the camera." Don't be reckless, if Cao's army presses up, come back immediately. ”
Zhang Fei said: "Brother don't worry, little brother understands." After saying that, he called for more than 20 scattered soldiers to ride north. Stop at the longboard bridge.
Zhang Fei stood at the bridge and thought, "Zilong is really useless, why didn't he keep up?" Could it be that my eldest brother is running too fast? That's not right! Yuan Zhi and Junshi (referring to Zhuge Liang) are both Wenchen, and they can keep up with the eldest brother for the first time. Why didn't you keep up with the generals? But then again, don't say it, Yuan Zhi and the military division are quite capable of running. ”
After thinking about it, a thought came to mind, and I said it in my heart, letting my eldest brother know that it was terrible!
Zhao Yun originally fled with Liu Bei, not wanting to lose a lot of soldiers and horses on the road, and Liu Bei couldn't take care of it.
Zhao Yunxin said: "Cao Jun is coming for the lord, if I retreat and gather scattered soldiers and horses, delay the action of the Cao army, the lord can get out." ”
was about to ask Liu Bei, but Liu Bei rode the "Lu" BMW, and ran fast, and Zhao Yun was afraid that Liu Bei would not agree to him to take risks. He quietly left.
Zhao Yun single-handedly, completely unafraid of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard horse, rushed all the way to kill, when the tiger and leopard rode everywhere to chase the people, drive and kill Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, and seize the grain and baggage left by Liu Beijun. Before the tiger and leopard riders knew it, the army began to disperse.
Zhao Yun marched all the way and closed all the way. Begin to avoid Cao Jun as much as possible. After gathering thousands of people, they began to attack Cao's army, fighting with all their might, killing the tiger and leopard riders who were chasing the people, plundering on all sides and leaving alone.
The tiger and leopard riders were really elite, and they quickly sensed Zhao Yun's existence, and immediately gathered in all directions to attack Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun saw that the tiger and leopard cavalry noticed, so he led his troops in the opposite direction, the tiger and leopard cavalry chased closely, Zhao Yun rushed all the way to kill for a long time, and the gathered stragglers had been killed.
After Cao Cao arrived, he saw that hundreds of tigers and leopards were chasing Zhao Yun and dozens of horses, and many of them were still blocking in front of him, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "I strictly order to attack Liu Bei with all my strength, and I must kill him." Cao Chun's order? Why divide your troops to pursue such pawns? ”
Everyone said: "Prime Minister, this thief led troops to stop us and others, killed dozens of me, attacked us, and had no choice but to annihilate them." It's good to catch up with Liu Bei. ”
Cao Cao saw that many tigers and leopards had scattered and chased after him, and said angrily: "Why are so many people chasing after the people and the rout? What about Cao Chun? ”
Everyone hurriedly explained: "Prime Minister, General Cao has gone to pursue Liu Bei." ”
Cao Cao said: "What about you? What order did Cao Chun give you? ”
Everyone whispered: "After defeating the thief army, divide the troops and attack together, force the rout to land, and chase and kill Liu Bei." ”
Cao Cao drew his sword and said angrily: "Then what are you doing?" Loot on all sides and abandon your goal! ”
Everyone hurriedly said: "These defeated soldiers, the people, and the baggage will only be like this when they block the impact of our army." ”
Cao Cao shouted angrily: "Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Liu Bei, I want Liu Bei's head." Regardless of the weight, how to do it? Don't care about these people, just rush to Liu Bei. Be sure to kill Liu Bei, miss the opportunity, and the consequences are unpredictable! Order the whole army to kill in the direction of Liu Bei! Whoever dares to delay will be killed! ”
Under Cao Cao's order, the tigers and leopards gathered and did not scatter to expand the results of the battle, but to kill in the direction of Liu Bei. Zhao Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there were fewer pursuers. Although there were more than ten tigers and leopards riding behind him, Zhao Yun did not reassure them at all.
The tigers and leopards shot arrows one after another, and Zhao Yun picked them all down with a spear. Zhao Yun said with annoyance: "It's hard to start without a bow, otherwise you would have shot these tigers and leopards to death." ”
There is no way at the moment, so I have to take them around in circles first. As you walk, keep an eye out for any bows left.
Zhao Yun was walking, and suddenly three or four trees growing together appeared in front of him. Zhao Yun thought to himself: "It's not a way to find a bow, wait for me to grab one!" ”
Thinking about it, Zhao Yun ran to the tree and walked around the tree. The tiger and leopard rider chasing after saw Zhao Yun reining in the horse and suddenly turned around, and also hurriedly reined in the horse. Zhao Yun took this opportunity to go around to the side of the tiger and leopard rider and overturned one person with one shot.
Then Zhao Yun picked out the bow with a gun in one hand and grabbed three arrows in the other. Ride the horse away.
The tiger and leopard rider saw that it had been calculated, and in anger they chased after it even more fiercely. The remaining nine were divided into two teams. The five people continued to chase, and the remaining four people outflanked Zhao Yun, and when they surrounded Zhao Yun, they worked together to kill Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was overjoyed when he got the bow and arrow. Hang the spear. With his bow and arrow, Zhao Yunxian deliberately exposed his bow and arrow to the left, and suddenly shot an arrow to the right. The tiger and leopard rider originally saw Zhao Yun revealing his bow and arrows, so he secretly took precautions, not wanting Zhao Yun to suddenly change the direction of the shot. I heard a sound of ah, and a tiger and leopard on the right rode off the horse.
Zhao Yun shot the first arrow, then took out the second one, and shot it while the tiger and leopard rider was surprised, and another tiger and leopard rider fell from the horse with an arrow in the cheek. The tiger and leopard rider reacted, Zhao Yun's third arrow arrived, and the tiger and leopard rider dodged the vital point, and the arrow hit its ribs.
Zhao Yun finished shooting the arrow. Immediately with a spear in hand, he turned over and killed. The tiger and leopard rider was killed and injured by two and one wounded. I don't feel like I can slow down my horse. Zhao Yun galloped over, which surprised them.
Zhao Yun used his speed to seize the opportunity, picked up the tiger and leopard cavalry, and killed him with one shot. Then he used his gun to hold up the slashing knife, drew his sword with his backhand and slashed him to death. The wounded tiger and leopard rider did not dare to engage in the battle and hurried away. Zhao Yun picked up the arrow and shot it over.
When the tiger and leopard riders saw that their companions had been killed, they galloped to take revenge. Four people are flanked left and right, and their hands are dancing with blades.
When Zhao Yun saw it, he said: "Running like this, killing yourself, see how you dodge my arrows!" ”
Several arrows have been fired as he spoke. The tiger and leopard rider hurriedly controlled the horse to dodge, and Zhao Yun shot arrows again and again, not giving the tiger and leopard rider a chance to breathe. Shaoqing, Zhao Yun shot two people to death, and the other two were killed in front of them and were killed by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun eliminated ten tiger and leopard riders, and couldn't help but sigh: "The tiger and leopard riders are worthy of their reputation, and this battle is really thrilling. If it hadn't been for the sudden change of direction, I'm afraid I would have been trapped to death. No, I'm afraid they're going to chase the lord, and I'm going to hurry back. "Don't delay, look at the direction when you come.
On the longboard bridge, Zhang Fei ordered twenty to ride in the woods, tied branches to the tail of the horse, ran back and forth in the woods, broke the bridge according to the water, held the spear horizontally, the tiger's eyes were round, and the horizontal knife was immediate.
Cao Chun led his pursuers to arrive, and when he saw such a situation, he couldn't help but wonder.
When Zhang Fei saw the pursuers arriving, he shouted: "I am Yan and Zhang Yide, who dares to fight to the death with me!" ”
No one in Cao's army dared to advance, Cao Cao led the troops to come later, seeing Zhang Fei's spirit was very strong, the dust in the woods in the distance was afraid of ambushes, his own soldiers and horses rushed three hundred miles to come, fighting for nearly three hours, exhausted, and Liu Bei had fled, and he didn't know the truth in front of him, and sighed: "One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion." Originally, Liu Bei could be destroyed in one go. The momentum of dividing troops and plundering has declined, and now it has stopped here and declined again. If you force your army, you will be defeated. ”
He ordered the troops to retreat. While retreating, he collected the people and Liu Bei's defeated troops and baggage, obtained thousands of people and all Liu Bei's baggage, and incorporated Liu Bei's defeated troops.
Zhang Fei stared at Cao Jun retreating far away, and Fang breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Wang said: "Why hasn't Zilong come yet, won't he be killed in the chaos!" That's too bad, I've put my life in vain! ”
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Yun came from afar, bringing hundreds of defeated soldiers and civilians.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and then Zhao Yun said: "Zilong is here, the eldest brother sent me to pick you up." Cao Jun ran away after I yelled, let's hurry back and report to the eldest brother! ”
Zhao Yundao: "There is Lao Yide. ”
Zhang Fei asked, "By the way, Zilong, why didn't you keep up?" ”
Zhao Yun said: "I'm afraid that the Cao army is chasing too quickly, and the lord will not be able to get out, so I will gather a rout to block the attack speed of the Cao army, so that the lord can retreat safely." ”
Zhang Fei said: "Zilong is really a loyal and brave person! ”
Everyone crossed the bridge, and Zhang Fei recalled the twenty horsemen and said proudly: "Zilong, look at me, I used this person to scare Cao Cao away!" Hey! Then he ordered the bridge to be demolished.
Zhao Yun said: "No, Cao Jun retreated because of suspicion, if the bridge is demolished, Cao Jun will know that we are cowardly and will definitely come back." Besides, tearing down a bridge can't stop Cao Jun. ”
Zhang Fei said: "Reasonable, okay, then let's go!" And they all returned.
Zhao Yun saw Zhang Fei rubbing his eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Yide, are you okay?" What's wrong with the eyes? ”
Before Zhang Fei could speak, he said in person: "General, it won't be the general who is harmed by the dust we raised, right?" ”
Zhang Fei shouted: "Nonsense, what can I do with just a little dust!" If you try it with your eyes wide for so long, won't your eyes hurt? In order to scare Cao Jun away, I almost didn't let my eyeballs out of my sockets! ”
When everyone heard this, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare, only to hear Zhang Fei say again: "Hurry up, bluff Cao Cao once, and it won't be good next time." Everyone agreed.
