Chapter 052: Breaking Through the Blockade

I'm Liu Bei.

I patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, dare to calculate the chief!" ”

In this way, our group of 1,000 horsemen followed Huzi from the Nanshan Pass of Xiaohengshan and slowly led the war horse with a small wooden stick around to the south of the rebel camp to ambush.

Suppose the rebels must have set up outposts in the north and east, but they would never have guessed that we were coming from the south.

In the starless night sky, the hazy crescent moon hung high, and a dark cloud drifted in, obscuring the moonlight. Suddenly, the entire foot of the mountain fell into darkness where you couldn't see your fingers. The campfires in the rebel camp were brightened by the darkness. It shows the way forward for our army.

There was dead silence all around. Only the sound of heartbeats came and went.

I was waiting for this moment when the clouds covered the moon. I said to myself.

"The rebels are probably asleep now, so they must fight quickly." I whispered to Meng Shouli.

"Brothers, follow me to destroy this rebel army! Give Li Sima a sacrifice! Kill! Meng Shouli took the lead and rushed towards the rebel camp a hundred paces away. A thousand horsemen, like clusters of burning fire, rushed to the camp.

"Captain, why don't you go?" The monkey asked, turning his head.

"There are only a hundred rebels, how can they be divided." I said with a wry smile. But I was thinking in my heart, I couldn't rush over, I was afraid that if I cut a few rebels, I would become soft-hearted, and I couldn't harden my heart and be cold-blooded. And the Lord I need most now is cold-blooded.

The journey is difficult, and there will be many serious difficulties that I can think of and unexpected, and in order to overcome the difficulties, I must have a cold-blooded heart. In order to deal the biggest blow to the rebels, I must hold back this momentum of revenge and remind myself at all times that I have not yet avenged Brother Li and others with my own hands.

"Give it to the brothers. The rebels in front have. I replied with a wry laugh.

In the blink of an eye, there were shouts of killing and the sound of weapons slashing at each other from the rebel camp. After a few moments, everything was dead again. A hurried sound of horses' hooves broke the silence. After that, you can see the light of the fire moving towards you.

Meng Shouli jumped off his horse covered in blood: "Seven traitors." The killing is not too hidden. He carried seven bloody skulls in his hand.

"If I knew earlier, I would let you go one by one, a hundred, and kill slowly." I laughed.

"That humble duty can't be killed!" After speaking, Meng Shouli laughed.

The knights in the back also returned. Several knights held torches in their hands, and by the faint light of the fire, it was clear that some of them were carrying human heads. The blood was falling drop by drop. And the knights were full of sorrow.

"Come, brethren. Pile the blood steamed buns together. Meng Shouli shouted.

A hundred human heads were piled up in front of him like small haystacks. It was terrifying, and it made me shudder.

The tigers found dry branches and firewood piles, and suddenly the bears could burn a fire. My face hurts hotly.

The lament of "National Mourning" rang out. I also sang along. His eyes stared at the red and yellow flames, and he seemed to see Li Xu's smiling face.

After singing, the brethren rested for a while. I came to Shi Sandan to ask about the wounded.

"Only one brother was slightly injured." Junhou Shi Sandan reported.

"Yes, a complete victory. Brothers, let's go south and catch the rebels off guard! I yelled. The real responsibility is the fear of being overtaken by the rebel reinforcements.

"Good!" The shouts rang out. The tiger took the lead in riding, and we followed with our horses.

During the night attack, the morale of the troops was unprecedentedly high. All of them are fighting high, waiting for the next attack! It was a great relief to see that the knights had finally escaped the shadow of the defeat of the city.

So far, our army has successfully broken through the blockade line.

With this night attack, I want to tell Zhang Liang clearly that we are going to go straight to their rear. Let's see if he wants the rear or Youzhou.

In order to fear that Zhang Liang would catch up, we galloped for sixty miles, and it was not until the middle of the next day that we dismounted to rest and cook bamboo rice. It made me almost faint from exhaustion. After lying on the ground, he called Huzi and asked where he was.

"It has also gone out of Yu County and entered Fanyang County, and since then it has been more than ten miles south of Fanyang City." Huzi replied.

"If Zhang Liang sends troops to chase after him, how far away is it from us now?" I turned my head to Meng Shouli, who was not far away.

Meng Shouli turned his head, saw me looking at him, trotted over, and replied, "I can probably figure it out." The rebels were attacked by us last night, and the surrounding outposts will definitely inform Zhang Liang in the city. Then he sent his troops to the rescue, and after a little bit of air, he returned to the city to report that we had gone south. Zhang Liang was able to send troops to chase after him at this time. Secondly, the rebels chased at night, fearing that they would be ambushed, so they would advance cautiously, so the speed of the pursuit would not be very fast. In this way, there is at least an hour of delay. ”

"In an hour, we can travel at least twenty miles. That is to say, the pursuing rebels are at least twenty miles away. Huzi continued.

"So, we'll only have an hour of rest at most." I sighed, and everyone nodded.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through me. As the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, grain and grass go first. And the grain and grass are all stored in a city near the front line, and they will be taken when the front line is exhausted.

So, where will Zhang Liang put the grain and grass of the 120,000 army?

"Do you think Zhang Liang will put the grain and grass of the 120,000 army in Fanyang City in front?" I asked in a muttered voice.

"Possibly." Meng Shouli pondered. "If the grain and grass are really in Fanyang City, then there must be heavy troops in ambush in the city."

"Looks like we're going to have to take a detour." I thought to myself. I was wondering whether to take over our army to the east or west.

"Captain, catch a rebel herald." The monkey ran over. The two knights in the back were holding a peasant-like fellow.

The monkey shook a yellow scarf in his hand, and excitedly pointed to the field to the east and said, "This kid rode a fast horse and went straight to Fanyang City from that side. Riding on the horse, he looked back at us from time to time. Seeing that he looked suspicious, he was captured. In his arms, there was a yellow scarf. Hey. The monkey excitedly handed over the yellow scarf.

The monkey came first to catch the herald, which shows that his riding skills must be very exquisite.

took the yellow scarf and looked at it, and then took out the yellow scarf from his arms and compared it last time. Same! I asked the herald, "Answer the question and let you go." Are you going to Fanyang City? Is your rations in the city? ”

The herald listened to me, and looked at me in astonishment, which was clearly astonishment at how I could have known. But he denied it again and again. Obviously trying to cover it up.

"Are your cavalry already twenty miles away, so let you go and inform the defenders of Fanyang to close the city gate and hang the pontoon bridge to prevent us from attacking the city, right?"

The Yellow Turban Thief's face was the same again.

"There aren't many defenders in the city, and you've sent more than one herald from you. Right? ”

This time, the herald finally couldn't help it: "How do you know so much?" ”

What a lovely question. Also a silly question. This question undoubtedly tells me once again that my inference is correct.

"Soldier, treacherous! Knock out and throw aside. I ordered.

"Ahh As soon as I finished speaking, the spy was struck in the head by the monkey and fainted. He was carried aside by two knights. Actually, he deserved to die, but he brought such important information, so I gave him back his life, which can be regarded as repayment.

I thought there were heavy soldiers in the city, but since there were few soldiers in the city, I might as well try to sneak attack. I thought to myself that maybe this was the best chance to put Zhang Liang on hold of his plans to go north.
