Huangfu Fu on one side was buried in the mud by the river, and on their bodies, almost the entire reed swamp was filled with thousands of Jingchu warriors lurking in the water stretching out and roaring on the river.
Wei Guan, he smiled slightly: "Since it is a test, let them pass. We have only one target, which is Liu Yu!"
Tan Pingzhi and Meng Longfu's eyes were fixed on the other side of the bridge. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and disappeared into the mist. Tan Pingzhi curled his lips and said, "If Lao Suo is really ambushed,
, that’s a pity, our Beifu Army doesn’t have many cavalry generals, after Ah Shou left, you and him are the ones who stand out.”
Meng Longfu said with a smile: "I believe that even if he is ambushed, he is not Bao Sizhi. It is still possible to fight and escape. Anyway, according to the original plan, if he doesn't come back in half an hour, we will not cross the bridge and wait here for the mail."
Brother Nu and the others are coming in a large group, so that’s all right.”
Tan Shao's eyes turned to the rear and said: "How long will it take for Brother Jinu to come? After all, Jiang Cheng is fifty miles away from here, and it will take time to arrange troops to guard the camp and take in the prisoners."
Tan Pingzhi nodded: "Yes, that's why I asked everyone to stay here last night. We are cavalry. We are hungry and tired after running all night. Jinu and the others are infantry. It will probably take half a day to get here. However,
The slaves will not let us leave like this and never come back. It was my negligence. I should have sent someone back as soon as possible to report the situation of the war."
Tan just smiled and said: "When we got here, uncle, didn't you send Chite back to report the news? I guess we should be here by now."
Tan Pingzhi sighed: "It's still too late. I should have sent him back when I passed Danyang last night, but I was in a hurry to pursue him and forgot about it. Now if the large group of people who send slaves arrives, there is no need to worry about this.
At the very least, you can send people to camp and set up a fence on the other side of the bridge to guard it."
Meng Longfu said with a smile: "Then my entire army is crossing the river now. Your archers are on this side of the bridge. They can also support with bows and arrows. Even if they are ambushed, they can retreat back."
Tan Pingzhi frowned: "Let's wait a little longer. If nothing happens to Suo Miao, he should be back soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sparse sound of horse hooves coming from the distance, getting closer and closer from west to east. Tan Shao on the side pricked up his ears, leaned down to listen, and a smile began to bloom on his face:
"Haha, yes, it's Lao Suo, it's Lao Suo and the others who are back!"
As they spoke, in the mist on the other side, more than fifty riders were gradually rushing back from the west. Meng Longfu murmured counting the number of people: "One, two, three..., fifty-two, five
Thirteen! Yes, there are more than one, and Lao Suo is right in front."
He jumped up with a smile, mounted his horse, and waved his hand: "Brothers, let's cross the bridge."
The sound of horse hoofbeats raised up bursts of dust, shrouding Tan Pingzhi and others. Tan Shao covered his mouth and nose with the front of his collar and said: "Uncle, it seems there is no ambush on the other side. How about we
Let's go there, at least we can set up a temporary camp first."
Tan Pingzhi shook his head: "We are chasing with light troops. Now we have no baggage carts, no wooden stakes, and we can't build a camp fence. It's better to stay here and wait for Jinu and the others to arrive. The Raptors and the others can cross the bridge and they should be able to cope with it."
.”
Before he finished speaking, he only heard another burst of horse hoofbeats coming from the other side of the bridge. Tan Pingzhi's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "No, there is an enemy coming, prepare to fight!"
This sentence was also spoken by Meng Longfu. He had just ran across the bridge and reunited with Suomiao on the opposite side. On the bridge behind him, more than a hundred riders were still lining up to pass by, while a mile away
, a burst of smoke and dust rose into the sky, the sound of horse hoofbeats, and the ringing of horse bells, several Hubei accents shouted: "Quickly, go to Luoluo Bridge quickly, we must not let the Beijing Eight people seize this bridge!"
Suo Miao frowned and said to Meng Longfu: "It seems that there are about two hundred cavalry coming, but there are no infantry. The Chu army must have come to their senses and are coming to seize the bridge. Raptor, what should we do now?"
Meng Longfu gritted his teeth and said: "We can't let them attack the bridge. Now the main force has not come. Brother Pingzi is supporting us in Hedong, thinking that there are suspicious soldiers. And we are now making a counterattack against the enemy. We don't want to eliminate many, as long as we kill this wave of them."
Fight back and buy time for Brother Jinu and the others. If necessary, take them away from the bridge, do you understand?"
Suo Miao said loudly: "No, Raptors, let's each lead a team and attack on the left and right."
Meng Longfu laughed, waved his halberd, and said loudly: "Dragon team, follow me to the left. Lion team, follow Laosuo to break out of the enemy. Let's go now!"
The mist gradually dissipated, and among the smoke and dust, more than two hundred Jingzhou cavalry could be seen. The men were wearing armor, but the horses were unarmored. The knights on the horses were either holding spears or drawing bows. One of them was in his early thirties, with a white face and long hair.
Under the leadership of General Xu's silver armor, they ran towards the bridge. At this time, both sides had seen each other's appearance clearly. Suo Miao laughed: "Fu Hongzhi, let's show off!"
The person coming was none other than Nanyang Fu Hongzhi, who had fought side by side with Liu Yu in the previous battle of Luoyang. When Suo Miao went south from Longyou, he also stopped briefly in Yongzhou and met Fu Hongzhi, who was still under Yang Quanqi at that time.
They were old acquaintances, but I didn't expect that many years later, my former colleagues would become sworn enemies on the battlefield.
Fu Hongzhi opened his eyes wide and shouted: "Suomiao, why don't you get off your horse and accept surrender!"
As he spoke, he hung up his horse, drew up his strong bow, and shot an arrow at Suo Miao from a distance of about a hundred paces. Suo Miao lowered his head, and the arrow flew over his helmet.
The strong wind caused the red tassel to fly. He stood up from his horse, picked up his long spear, and rushed towards Fu Hongzhi on the opposite side. He was a hundred steps away, and under the full force of the powerful riders on both sides, he arrived in the blink of an eye.
Under the fierce collision, more than ten Chu army cavalrymen fell off their horses, and four of the Beifu army armored cavalrymen who were better protected were knocked to the ground. Fu Hongzhi and Suo Miao passed by on the wrong horse, stabbed each other, and at the same time
Being blocked, there is no winner or loser in this round.
Fu Hongzhi turned his horse's head and was about to turn around and attack again. Suddenly, a hail of arrows struck from the side. Immediately, more than ten riders fell to the ground with arrows. His expression changed, and he turned around to look, but he saw something in the mist.
, more than a hundred cavalry, are riding their horses and drawing their bows, firing at themselves, the leader is wearing a dragon tooth helmet, isn't it the Menglong Talisman?
A trace of surprise flashed in Fu Hongzhi's eyes. He turned around and led his troops again to face Suo Miao, who also turned around. This time he did not dare to fight. He fell down more than 20 cavalrymen and took the remaining more than 100 cavalry towards the southwest.
