Four hundred and thirtieth chapters Dangping
Zhang Fang gathered tens of thousands of bandits to gather at the Minjiang Ferry in a noisy way. Zhang Lang was already impatiently trapped in the area west of the Minjiang River. He wanted to fight to Chengdu and seize that rich place!
The five thousand defenders opposite the ferry were ready to fight, with swords and guns drawn out of their sheaths and bows and arrows rolled over.
Zhang Fang ordered the army to take the plundered bamboo raft to start attacking. Thousands of bandits took the bamboo raft to paddle to the other side, each standing on the bamboo raft, waving weapons, and shouting randomly!
Thousands of people rode bamboo rafts near the shore. With the order from the guard general, two thousand archers on the shore fired arrows together. The arrow rain flew into the Minjiang River. Many bandits on the bamboo raft were shot overturned, and screams were heard. Many people fell into the Minjiang River and disappeared in an instant. The bandits who were hit head-on suddenly became messy. Many bamboo rafts were spinning in the river water, colliding with each other, and many bandits fell into the water.
Archers on the shore kept firing arrows, and the bandits on the bamboo raft kept getting arrows and falling into the water. The bandits hurriedly paddled the bamboo raft back!
After a while, the soldiers of Lu Bu's army stopped shooting. The bandits who escaped were very grateful and hurriedly paddled bamboo rafts to the shore and returned to the shore in a mess.
Zhang Fang originally hoped to break through the defense line of Lu Bu's army at the ferry, but she didn't expect that this was the case. She was so angry that she drew out her sword and forced her bandits to continue attacking.
The bandits had no choice but to launch two rounds of attacks, but every time they failed to dock, they were shot back by the other party's arrow rain!
Zhang Fang was very depressed. He finally understood that it was impossible to attack and defend the location with these mobs in his hands! Although he was very unwilling to give up, Zhang Fang still issued an order to withdraw his troops. The army retreated to Jiangyuan County on the west bank of the Minjiang River.
In the night, Jiangyuan County was in a hustle and bustle. Tens of thousands of bandits were lit up bonfires everywhere in the city to eat, drink and have fun, hugging the young women they had caught, and using steel knives to force the 15 or 16-year-old children to dance and sing and entertain them. Their crazy laughter echoed everywhere in the county town.
Zhang Fang stood alone in front of the map of the capital, patrolling the Minjiang River. He was thinking that, like a big river stretching for five or six hundred miles, the Lu Bu army could not keep the entire river tightly. There is always a loophole to get out! Zhang Fang believed that as long as he could pass through this river smoothly, the entire Xichuan would be his pocket! He felt that as long as he could enter the hinterland of Xichuan, the people of Xichuan would respond and attack the Lu Bu army with him? Now the main force of the Lu Bu army is busy fighting with the Xianbei people, and there is no time to take care of it. It is the time! Zhang Fang didn't know at this moment that the war between Lu Bu and the Xianbei people had ended!
A small minion ran in and reported: "Report to General, Mr. Li Ru is here."
Zhang Fang looked at the map and said, "Please!"
The minion ran down, and after a moment, Li Ru came in with a fortune teller dressed as a fortune teller. When Li Ru saw Zhang Fang, he folded his fists and said, "I've seen the general!"
Zhang Fang turned around and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, sir, are you okay?"
Li Rudao: "It's great to be with me, but the general is afraid it's not going to be good!"
Zhang Fang was stunned, "Why did you say this sir?"
Li Rudao: "I was going to Luoyang, but I saw something in Chengdu, so I rushed to report the news."
"What's the matter?" Zhang Fang asked casually, walked to the top and sat down.
Li Ru took a step forward, "I saw the Canglang Legion led by Ma Chao." Zhang Fang, who was about to drink tea, was startled. The tea cup in her hand fell on the desk table, and all the tea water was sprinkled out. "What did you say?"
Li Ru repeated: "I saw Ma Chao's Canglang Legion in Chengdu."
Zhang Fang suddenly stood up and shouted: "This is impossible!?Aren't they fighting the Xianbei people to the death?"
Li Rudao: "I also got news in Chengdu that Lu Bu successfully destroyed the grain and grass transfer base set up by the Xianbei people in Dingxiang. The battle has ended! Now that the northern line is calm, Lu Bu has transferred the Canglang Legion!" Zhang Fang immediately panicked, "What should I do?"
Li Rudao: "I came here in Jiancheng. Ma Chao's Canglang Legion has nearly 100,000 combat cavalry. No matter how fast it is, it will not be able to appear here tomorrow morning. You still have time."
Zhang Fang hurriedly said: "I will lead my army to retreat south immediately!"
Li Ru nodded, "Retreat south. Enter Nanzhong through the vassal state of Shu County, meet with Meng Huo, and station troops in Nanzhong to wait for the opportunity!"
Zhang Fang immediately called his personal soldiers and ordered the troops to set off to advance south immediately. The personal soldiers responded and ran down.
Zhang Fang walked to the armor stand and put on armor robes under the service of two beautiful concubines.
Rumble... A loud thunder sound suddenly came from outside, and then a chaotic scream and scream sounded loudly. Zhang Fang, who had just put on his armor, rushed out of the hall and looked towards the city wall in the distance. He saw the flames red, half of the sky, and dense spears overturned all the sentries on the top of the city to the ground! Zhang Fang was shocked. Li Ru said anxiously: "Snap the gun and attack! This is the arrival of the Canglang Legion! How could it be so fast?!" Then he said to Zhang Fang: "It's too late! Escape quickly!" Yu Luo ignored Zhang Fang and ran towards the side door of the government office.
Zhang Fang was so unconscious that she followed him subconsciously. Seeing that Zhang Fang was following, Li Ru shouted anxiously: "Don't follow me! Let's run separately, otherwise it will be too conspicuous!"
Zhang Fang was completely at a loss. After hearing Li Ru's words, he stopped and looked around. Seeing another side door, he ran over.
At this moment, all four gates were already broken into by the Canglang Army's cavalry. Tens of thousands of fierce cavalry clashed in conflict. The originally fierce bandits were defeated under the stormy waves of the Canglang Army's cavalry, and fled everywhere in panic, like headless flies, and had no intention of fighting at all.
After just one hour, tens of thousands of bandit troops completely collapsed, thousands of people were killed, and the rest, including Zhang Fang, were all captured.
Li Ru, who was dressed up as a fortune teller, sneaked through the streets and alleys. When he arrived near the city gate, he saw that the city gate had been strictly guarded by Lu Bu's army, and was panicked and didn't know what to do.
"Who are you?" A sudden shout came from behind. Li Ru was so scared that his souls were all rising. He turned around and saw a Ma Tie standing in front of him with dozens of war cavalry standing in front of him. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Who are you?" Ma Tie asked again.
Li Ru was so scared that he knelt down. He quickly turned his mind and kowtowed to mercy and said, "Big, please spare me! The villain is just a local citizen who relies on fortune telling. Please let me go!"
Ma Tie's expression calmed down and he said, "Don't be afraid. We are not bandits, but soldiers under the general. We are here to rescue everyone!"
Li Ru quickly let out a long sigh and touched the cold sweat on his forehead, "Scared, scared the villain to death!"
Ma Tie rode his horse to Li Ru, "It's not safe outside now, go home quickly!"
