Liu Bei was still caught up by Cao Cao's pursuers.

Three days ago.

Cao Cao's purpose was the entire south, so naturally he would not limit his vision to one city.

If you want to attack the south along the waterway, Gangneung just can't get around the threshold.

If he fails to take Gangneung, all the offensives of his Cao army will be empty talk.

However, there was another Liu Bei near Jiangling, and Cao Cao was very worried that Liu Bei would take the lead in occupying Jiangling and defend the city.

That would cause him great trouble.

So at the beginning of the war, after learning that Liu Bei had left Xiangyang, Cao Cao immediately sent 5,000 cavalry, abandoned his baggage, and traveled day and night, bound to stop Liu Bei before rushing to Jiangling.

But the incident happened suddenly, and Cao Cao's preparations were not complete.

Just when Cao Cao thought that the situation was about to become very troublesome, a turning point appeared!

When Cao Cao learned that Liu Bei was on the road with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, his mouth was about to crack open with joy.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei, you are killing yourself! I can't blame others! ”

"The woman's kindness has hurt you!"

If Liu Bei abandoned everything and ran directly to Jiangling to defend himself, then Cao Cao's offensive would become very difficult.

But with so much drag, Liu Bei's march speed would certainly not be too fast, so that Cao Cao would have plenty of time to take Jiangling.

After relying on Jiangling, Cao's offensive can be launched quickly!

Not only that, Cao Cao may be able to take this opportunity to wipe out Liu Bei and his henchmen!

Cao Cao is not a fool, so he naturally knows the threat of Liu Bei.

In this troubled world, although Liu Bei's woman's benevolence is very stupid, there is no doubt that this is also the most popular move.

Just by looking at the fact that the people and soldiers were willing to flee with Liu Bei.

At this time of year, Liu Bei is undoubtedly a great danger to Cao Cao.

He must nip this person in the bud.

Otherwise, Liu Bei will definitely become his right-hand man in the world!

Cao Cao is not a benevolent gentleman, let alone a reasonable gentleman.

He has always pursued the habit of taking advantage of his illness to kill him!

Considering that the other party is bringing the people, it doesn't hurt the killer? It's a fool's dream!

Now the soldiers are fast, and the comparison is whose speed is faster.

Liu Bei's speed is faster, then he can go to Jiangling first, rely on natural hazards, and build fortifications.

Then Cao Cao's attack will encounter the first difficulty.

If you can't even take Jiangling, let alone fight for world domination.

But if Cao Cao is allowed to catch up with Liu Bei first, or even take Jiangling directly, don't say that it is Liu Bei, but I am afraid that Sun Quan will also be in danger.

It's all about speed!

But Liu Bei has so much drag, how can he compare to Cao Cao?

What's more, Cao Cao also sent 5,000 cavalry, light chariots, and pursued all the way!

The result is naturally self-evident, Liu Bei was caught up by Cao Cao's people without accident.

When Yang Changbanpo, Liu Bei and his entourage met Cao Cao's 5,000 cavalry.

The two sides were stunned for less than a moment, and then they were ready for battle.

Looking at the enemy's five thousand cavalry, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but be shocked.

The best thing didn't happen, and the back hand he had prepared eventually happened.

After communicating with Qin Tian that day, Zhuge Liang thought about how to solve such a situation.

It stands to reason that there is only a dead end at this time, but it is by no means lifeless.

"Although Liu Bei himself is a woman's benevolence, his two younger brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are fierce generals who are rare opponents in the world."

"Give them enough troops, maybe they can create miracles that ordinary people can't imagine."

Qin Tian's judgment has always been accurate, and Zhuge Liang is naturally willing to believe Qin Tian.

In particular, Guan Yu's strength is extremely extraordinary, and the reputation of Wenjiu Huaxiong is still vivid.

So Zhuge Liang sent Guan Yu to lead the people down the river.

One is because Guan Yu's strength is quite strong, and if he encounters an enemy, he can also maneuver around.

That's right, even if it goes down the river, it is not foolproof, and Cao Jun may also chase after him along the river.

Although the possibility of abandoning the rear supply line and smashing Huanglong is very low, Zhuge Liang still has to consider the occurrence of this situation.

Letting Guan Yu take some of the people to go first is also a layer of insurance.

And the second layer of insurance is Zhang Fei!

Zhang Fei seems to be five big and three coarse, but in fact, he is extremely careful, and he is extremely brave on the battlefield.

After Qin Tian's reminder, Zhuge Liang had long expected this situation, so he did not hesitate to send Zhang Fei to meet the enemy!

Thanks to the fact that there are too many people who follow Liu Bei, there are naturally many soldiers among these people.

In the face of 5,000 soldiers who abandoned their baggage supplies, although Zhang Fei only had 800 cavalry, he was not without a chance of victory.

If the enemy rushes into the crowd and kills them, they can cause chaos, but they will also get bogged down in the crowd.

There is only a dead end waiting for them!

However, Zhang Fei was ordered not to fight to the death with the enemy at all, and to delay as much as possible.

In this way, the enemy may be angry and will attack the people, but it is a necessary loss.

For the sake of justice, we can only abandon those people.

Of course, Zhuge Liang's decision will naturally not be told to Zhang Fei, let alone Liu Bei.

Because he knew that once he said it, things would not go the way he imagined.

"You just want to harass and harass, and the other party will never dare to rush into the people to fight."

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "Because the enemy will worry about whether this is our strategy, once they rush in, you can cut off their back path and wipe them all out here!" ”

The advantage of cavalry is speed, and without speed it is just something to be slaughtered.

"Only if the enemy's generals are not stupid pigs, they will never make such a decision!"

Zhuge Liang said confidently: "And the one who can be sent out by Cao Cao to chase you will be a stupid pig?" ”

Zhang Fei seemed to sense something, but he didn't say anything, but set off with the soldiers.

Liu Bei was anxious, and naturally he couldn't pay attention to Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

At this time, his heart was in chaos, and naturally the military advisor was what he said.

Soon, Zhang Fei led 800 cavalry to confront the 5,000 men.

The two sides confronted each other for a long time and did not act rashly.

But as Zhuge Liang said, time is on their side.

As long as the Nagasaka slope is crossed, the enemy will definitely not dare to chase after it, this is already deep into the hinterland, the terrain is complicated, and there are many enemy troops.

Whether you can find it or not, Liu Bei also said that if you don't do it, all of you will have to die here.

Changban Slope is a hurdle, after Changban Slope, Liu Bei's heart can be half relaxed.

Zhang Fei's 800 cavalry is a hurdle, and the infantry guarding the slow retreat of tens of thousands of people is another hurdle.

No one knows if the other party will use the people as a shield, if the enemy uses the people as a meat shield, then even their five thousand cavalry will have to be hated on the spot!

Not to mention that they have to bear the infamy of slaughtering the people!

When the general of the Cao army saw this scene, he couldn't help but scold fiercely.

"Who wants to say that Liu Bei is a benevolent and righteous person in the future, I am anxious with him! This is simply shameless, shameless! ”

Using the people as meat shields, isn't this enough to show Liu Bei's shamelessness!

We can't keep putting it off like this.

If he watched Liu Bei leave, he would not only be useless, but would have had it.

At this time, even if it is death, they will have to try!

Cao Jun slowly retreated.

Zhang Fei's expression not only did not relax, but was very vigilant.

Of course, he would not believe that the five thousand cavalry would let them go, and the other party retreated obviously to set up a formation and start charging!

The atmosphere instantly became solemn.

A breeze blew, accompanied by a loud shout, and the Cao army began to charge.

Obviously, he wants to ignore it, and he will stop Liu Bei here even if he loses both!

Zhang Fei clenched the spear in his hand and began to mobilize his troops at the same time.

In the face of the cavalry charge, standing stupidly in place is undoubtedly an act of waiting for death.

Liu Bei would never let Zhang Fei retreat, because behind him were countless people.

But at this time, it was Zhuge Liang who gave Zhang Fei the order, and now, Zhang Fei can only choose to believe in the judgment of the military advisor!

Just as the two sides were about to engage in short-handed combat, a batch of bows and arrows were shot from the mountains and forests on one side.

The number of bows and arrows was not much, but it was enough to slightly block the pace of Cao's charge!

Cao Jun's general's face suddenly changed.

Could it be that this is the enemy's ploy, which seems to be killed by the neck and has no power to resist, but there are countless soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests on one side, just waiting for themselves to get into their pockets?

Thinking of this, the speed of Cao Jun's charge suddenly slowed down, and there was even a tendency to turn around and leave.

The 5,000 cavalry is an extremely important force no matter which dynasty it is placed in, and this kind of loss will inevitably be very painful even if it is Cao Cao today.

Seeing the bow and arrow shot out from the side, Mo said that it was Cao Jun, and even Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang were immediately stunned.

What? We have reinforcements? How did we not know?

Zhuge Liang's mind flowed, and he didn't know where these people came from.

These people will definitely not be Sun Quan's army, even if they know the truth of cold lips and teeth, but in such a situation, how could Sun Quan send someone to help?

And looking at the offensive of those people, it doesn't look like a regular army.

If it was Sun Quan's people, there would never be only such a few people, and Zhuge Liang should have received the news a long time ago.

For a while, the battlefield was stalemate because of this sudden, and no one knew where the reinforcements came from.

Waiting like this is not always the way to go.

Seeing that Liu Bei was about to leave, the generals of the Cao army couldn't sit still.

He has wasted too much time here, and if he drags on like this, I'm afraid he will really get nothing!

Now he has two options.

Either turn around and leave, when you don't see anything, or just rush over and fight with the other party!

General Cao's eyes flashed, obviously struggling.

But soon, he made a decision.

He judged that Liu Bei had absolutely no support at this time, and the offensive in the mountains and forests was just a bluff!

"Pass my orders, all the soldiers, charge with me!"

"Make a contribution, just today, take Liu Bei!"

"Take down Liu Bei!"

"Take down Liu Bei!"

With a burst of shouts and killing, the five thousand cavalry finally moved.

As the enemy got closer and the shouts of killing grew louder and louder, the worst happened.

After all, there was some confusion in the ranks of tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Fei also moved, but instead of meeting the enemy, he was ready to harass from the flanks.

As long as the other party is not allowed to enter and exit at will, Zhang Fei's goal has been achieved.

The two sides soon handed over and then parted.

The gap in strength between the two sides is still a bit big.

The 5,000 cavalry of the Cao army are all elite, and although Zhang Fei has 800 cavalry, they cannot be compared in terms of quality.

Even if Zhang Fei was extremely brave, but in just one confrontation, Zhang Fei lost more than 100 people!

I'm afraid that I will come twice more, no, even only one handover, even Zhang Fei will have to retreat into the team.

But at this moment, hundreds of people suddenly appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests!

The soldiers who kept rushing out of the mountains and forests seemed to be endless, and they quickly gathered into a pile.

The man at the head was a strong man, armed with a long sword, and very brave.

"Yiyang Wei Yan is here, who dares to step forward!"

The thousands of men had only a dozen horses, and most of them had only a long knife and no armor.

At a glance, you can tell which mountain nest it is a bandit who has come out of the nest.

Mo said that it was the 5,000 cavalry of the Cao army, and even Zhang Fei's 800 cavalry only needed one charge to break up this team.

To put it bluntly, these people are no different from the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army back then.

But it was these thousands of people who blocked the way of the Cao army's advance and made the Cao army generals hesitate.

Could it be ...... Is there really a fraud?

Seeing these people, Zhang Fei was stunned, and Zhuge Liang was also stunned.

Where did these people come from?

Not buddy, who are you?

But in the current situation, no one is destined to be able to give an answer!

"Hahahaha, your grandfather Zhang Fei is here, who dares to come forward to fight!"

Zhang Fei didn't know what was going on, but he knew that these people must be allies, and it was their chance!

After all, Zhang Fei actually stepped forward on horseback, and it seemed that he was going to rush to kill Cao Jun head-on!

"Zhang Fei is here, who dares to come forward to fight!"

Zhang Fei roared angrily and charged forward with eight hundred cavalry!

As if to confirm Zhang Fei's words, a rain of arrows shot softly again from the mountains and forests on that side.

These arrows rained down on Cao Jun's hair, but they became the last straw that pressed the camel's back.

Especially Zhang Fei, whose eyes were red, was even more like Shura, and everyone present was terrified!

"Zhang Fei is here, who dares to come forward to fight!"

"Zhang Fei is here, who dares to come forward to fight!!"

"Zhang Fei is here, who dares to come forward to fight!!"

With three more roars, Zhang Fei actually rushed into the camp of the Cao army with 800 cavalry and slaughtered them.

The enemy has already been frightened, how dare he fight back at this time, and hurriedly flee with the cavalry!

Zhang Fei looked ferocious, but in fact he didn't cause much damage to the enemy at all.

Coupled with the previous confrontation, Cao's army only lost dozens of people.

But Zhang Fei's appearance of chasing five thousand cavalry and slashing was too amazing, and everyone present was stunned.

Zhang Fei chased him out for a long time, and the rest of the people reacted and chased after him!

At this moment, Zhuge Liang couldn't even hold the feather fan in his hand steadily.

The world is so crazy, how can this happen?
