The fire in Calabash Valley soared into the sky, mixed with the sound of crackling explosions. Ma Liang and Mi Zhu could feel the scorching flames even standing a few miles away. Calabash Valley is shaped like a gourd, and it also belongs to the remaining mountains of Jingshan Mountain. The mountains reach here
, suddenly divided into left and right, forming two channels, large and small. The place where Ma Liang and Mi Zhu ambush happened to be at the mouth of the valley. This place is narrow. When the southeast wind blows, the fire rolls into the valley, igniting the trees and grass inside, and the fire gets bigger and bigger.
You can see clearly from more than ten miles away.
Looking at the raging fire, Mi Zhu sighed: "Hey! Such a good ambush location was wasted. I really failed to live up to God's arrangement."
Ma Liang said: "Gan Ning made a surprise attack on Jiangxia, and there is no point in defending Nanjun anymore. It would be good if this fire can stop Long Fei from going south. At least we have time to retreat, and the military advisor has no choice."
Long Fei was cruising in the Xiangshui River on a boat when he suddenly heard someone shouting. Looking in the direction of the man's finger, not far from the Xiangshui River, a fire shot up into the sky. The fire was so powerful that it was unimaginable, like a mountain.
They were all burned, and the billowing black smoke lingered in the sky for a long time. Li Ru took a breath of cold air: "Zhuge Liang is really poisonous. If we still take the dry road, I am afraid we will really be burned! According to the direction, it should be the gourd
Direction of Taniguchi.”
Hearing what Li Ru said, everyone was really scared, and they all looked at Guo Jia with admiration. Guo Jia shook his feather fan lightly, proudly, and stood up on the bow of the boat. The river wind blew Guo Jia's sleeves,
He had a sense of coolness and elegance of his own. Long Fei said with a smile: "It's not Zhuge Liang's cruelty, it's just our Guo Fengxiao's superior skill. It's all in vain if such a good place is not used. Since they can't burn us, it's their time to die!"
Looking at the fire in the direction of the Hulu Valley entrance, Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking. Nanjun was in chaos. In order to escape, Liu Bei and Liu Qi ordered their soldiers to start sweeping the entire Nanjun. Everything they could get was thrown on the carriage, no matter what.
Gold, silver, treasures or food and cloth, as long as they are useful, they will not show mercy. The people cried and shouted, looking at the soldiers like hungry wolves, they wanted to rush forward but did not dare.
While Liu Bei was inspecting the loaded vehicles, he said to Liu Qi beside him: "Master, I'm afraid this is not enough! Changsha is a remote and wild land, and our tens of thousands of soldiers cannot survive for long with just these. Now that we have done this,
For these things, let's just be thorough and take away the entire Nanjun together with the people, leaving an empty city for Long Fei. Even if he gets it, it will be of no use."
"This..." Liu Qi couldn't bear it: "The people may not follow us, this is their home!"
Liu Bei smiled: "Life is more important than family. Parents can be ignored in the face of swords and guns, let alone family!"
There was another chaos in Nanjun. The soldiers drove the people out from house to house and gathered at the military training ground. Liu Bei stood on the general platform and looked at the densely packed people below. He felt a sense of accomplishment. He felt stable.
Steady his mind: "My fellow countrymen, Long Fei is brutal and has massacred tens of thousands of people in Xiangyang. Now the army is approaching Nanjun. I, Liu Bei, have few soldiers and cannot resist. I am preparing to retreat south, but I can't let go of the people. As long as you all
If you are willing to follow me, I, Liu Bei, promise that when we get to Changsha, every household will be given a piece of land and everyone will have enough food and clothing!"
Liu Bei actually shed tears as he spoke. He hurriedly wiped them with his sleeves and took a deep breath: "Unfortunately for the big man, first Dong Zhuo and then Long Fei. Both of them are treacherous and evil people. It's a pity for me."
As the grandson of the emperor, I can't help your majesty and contribute to the world. I can't bear the good-looking Jingzhou and let Long Fei bring ruin to the lives of the people. Dear fellow villagers, I, Liu Bei, have never forgotten Lord Zhoumu's instructions. If you are willing to follow me, please go home.
Pack your things and set off overnight to avoid being poisoned by Long Fei."
"Liu Huangsun, I heard that you started the chaos in Jingzhou. If you don't kill Cai Mao's family, Cai Mao won't fight back!" A young man in the crowd asked.
Jian Yong was about to pounce on him, but Liu Bei hurriedly stopped him: "Hey! The Cai family poisoned the former governor Liu Biao. I, Liu Bei, was so angry that I couldn't raise an army to capture and kill him. But the Cai family tried to stop him in many ways. Such people who disrespected the righteousness actually poisoned the royal family.
Bloodline, everyone in the world can get it and kill it. I also follow your majesty's secret edict. All the folks are here. I, Liu Bei, swear to heaven that the chaos in Jingzhou is all caused by Cai Mao and Long Fei. If they make false claims, they will die without a burial place!"
The people talked for a while, some said that Long Fei was good, and some said that Liu Bei was good. Liu Bei's passionate and lively performance really moved many people. Some people have expressed their willingness to follow Liu Bei, and the voice is still growing.
Every time someone shouted, Liu Bei would thank him and let the people go back to pack their things. Liu Bei wiped the sweat from his head, came down from the stage, and when passing by Jian Yong, he whispered: "Those who don't want to leave
Have you written it all down? You know how to do it!"
The Nanjun city gate was wide open, and soldiers were guarding the vehicles in front, followed closely by the people dragging their families with their families. From a distance, the team looked huge, as if there were tens of thousands of troops. Zhuge Liang did not comment on Liu Bei's move.
Any opinions are accepted by default.
Coming out of Nanjun, according to the plan, we should bypass Huarong, cross the Yangtze River first to reach Gong'an, then detour to Hanshou and then go to Changsha. However, with tens of thousands of people dragging us down, the Yangtze River cannot be crossed, so we can only go forward along the river.
The army moved slowly, and there were people who could walk up to ten miles a day. Just after passing Huarong, Jian Yong found Liu Bei and said, "My lord, this can't go on! We only walk ten miles a day, and it costs a lot of money. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk."
If you arrive in Changsha, you will be overtaken by Long Fei, why not..."
Liu Bei shook his head: "Although the light chariot Jian Cong can run fast, it is not faster than Long Fei's cavalry. If Long Fei catches up, there are still these people who can block us and maybe we can escape. I understand Long Fei.
The only thing that kills and decides the world is that he is not as indifferent to the people as others. The tens of thousands of displaced people will keep him busy for a while. We must do this to escape from Long Fei's clutches." Zhuge Liang unexpectedly smiled.
It was strange. When Liu Bei saw it, he pretended that nothing happened, and still let Jian Yong continue to lead his troops and drive the people away.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei really met Gan Ning and others in Beiyang, and a battle between the two sides was inevitable. Guan Yu bullied Gan Ning's troops because the navy was not good at land warfare, and ordered the entire army to attack from the beginning. Gan Ning calmly accepted the challenge and put it aside
The defensive position was entangled with Guan Yu. The two sides fought for a whole night, but Guan Yu failed to capture Gan Ning's camp. At dawn the next day, Guan Yu's army had no choice but to retreat.
Eight thousand soldiers and horses were exhausted after a night of charging. As soon as they returned to the camp, they heard loud shouts of killing outside the camp. Zhang Fei was furious: "Second brother, this Gan Ning led his troops to fight without hesitation. Just give the order! I
Go out now and defeat them completely!"
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes, smoothed his beard, and shook his head: "No need! Our army should have a good rest after a night of attacking. Gan Ning is bluffing. How can his naval army break through our camp? Tell the brothers, half of the troops and horses are left to guard it."
The rest of the people must rest quickly and fight again at night. We must break through the Gan Ning camp!"
Zhou Tai swung his broadsword and cut the horses in front of Guan Yu's camp into two sections. With a loud shout, he rushed straight to the camp gate. The archers in the camp fired thousands of arrows, and the swordsmen and shieldmen hurriedly stepped forward to block the bows and arrows.
Ning ordered: "Fire the arrow!"
The two armies and horses were a hundred steps apart and fired at each other. They heard bursts of screams, and the soldiers of Guan Yu's camp were injured by arrows. Zhou Tai relied on the shield wall formed by sword and shield hands to get closer to Guan Yu's camp, and he was about to arrive.
A group of cavalry suddenly rushed out from the camp. The sound of horse hooves came rolling in. Zhou Tai, who was hiding behind the shield wall, shouted: "Hold it! Hold it all! ***, let them know
We Longjun are not vegetarians!"
The war horse hit the shield wall hard, and the shield wall shook. It swayed a little, but it did not collapse. Zhang Fei stabbed a shield with a spear, and the shield-holding soldier behind was knocked away by Zhang Fei. Immediately there was someone holding a shield.
Filling up the position just now. Gan Ning's eyes widened angrily: "Pan Zhang, it's up to you!"
Pan Zhang chuckled: "Brother, just watch it!"
More than a dozen crossbows were pushed forward, and the soldiers struggled to stir the handles. The thick bow strings were pulled apart little by little, and the huge arrows were arranged neatly. Pan Zhang shouted, "Let go!" There were hundreds of arrows one foot long.
It shot out and went straight to Zhang Fei's cavalry. The huge arrow hit the horse hard and penetrated the horse. Zhang Fei's horse was also hit by the arrow, and the powerful impact lifted the entire horse up. Zhang Fei was high
It was thrown high and fell hard to the ground. The impact of Guan Yu's cavalry had obviously stopped. Zhou Tai looked at the gap, shouted loudly, and moved forward against the shield wall.
He used shields to build a ramp outside the wall, and Gan Ning led his elite troops to rush over the ramp. He jumped over the soldiers guarding the wall. The soldiers were dumbfounded. When they were stunned, Gan Ning raised his sword.
He fell and cut down several soldiers in a row: "Capture the village gate! Quick!"
Guan Yu sat upright on his commanding post and closed his eyes to rest. He did not believe that Gan Ning's navy could break through his camp. Hearing the shouts of killing outside, he was thinking about what his elder brother Liu Bei was doing now. A soldier suddenly
Rushing in: "General! Gan Ning has breached the gate of the village, and a large group of dragon troops are pouring in! The three generals can't resist it anymore!"
Zhang Fei waved his spear and looked at the burly guy in front of him, covered with flesh and carrying a sword with a ghost head. He was the first one to rush towards the wall just now. Zhang Fei was furious, opened his eyes wide and stabbed with the spear.
.Zhou Tai used a move to fight in all directions at night. The ghost-headed knife came in against Zhang Fei's spear, and he cut it with the force, and the blade went straight to Zhang Fei's throat. This move was learned from Long Fei, and he has tried it repeatedly.
Zhang Fei was shocked, and it was too late to retract his spear to block him. Seeing that the blade was in front of him, he hurriedly dodged to avoid it. Zhou Tai gained the upper hand with one move, and the sword never left Zhang Fei's body. Zhang Fei's weapon was too big.
He was clearly at a disadvantage in the close combat with Zhou Tai, who was beaten by Zhou Tai and kept retreating. Seeing that he could no longer avoid Zhou Tai's fatal blow, he wanted to throw away the spear in his hand.
A big sword suddenly caught Zhou Tai's ghost-headed sword: "Third brother, don't panic, second brother is here!"
