A dozen figures slowly walked out of the dim woods, walking through the woods at night, but they didn't even light the torch!
If you look carefully, you can see that most of them are wearing tight-fitting coarse cloth, and only a few of them are wearing simple leather armor similar to the guards' thugs in the big family.
After walking out of the forest, everyone was obviously relieved. One of them looked up at the looming moon in the night sky and smiled.
"Your Majesty, the official road is ahead."
The person speaking was clearly Li Shan.
Just next to the forest, a not-so-wide road winds forward, and then splits into two parts in front of the mountain, one going left and one going right.
At this time, Liu Bei had long lost his splendor in the palace. His face was dark here and there, and he was dressed like a servant, making him look like a refugee. He nodded to Li Shan, smiled, and then turned to look at Zhuge Liang.
"Commander, can you still hold on to your strength? Do you want to take a rest?"
Zhuge Liang, who was dressed similarly, was breathing heavily, but waved his hands in refusal.
"General Liu Feng defended the palace to buy us time, and we must not waste it. I originally planned to wait until the Chu army broke through the palace and found out something was wrong, but we were already almost at Langxie. As long as we get to Langxie, the Zhuge family's business there is enough to save us. Let's cross the river and head north. I didn't expect to run into Jiang Qin, the general of the Yulin Army. I'm afraid Jiang Qin will see something, so I'd better hurry up."
After escaping from Xiapi City, the tension in Liu Bei's heart had eased a lot. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but ask with some doubts.
"I have read the information about Jiang Qin. Although this man was promoted to a general due to his merits, he has no unique strategies in his past battles. He was originally a servant of the Jiangdong family. Does he really have the insight to see through the strategies of military advisors?"
If he had not met Jiang Qin directly, Zhuge Liang was confident that he would not have discovered it, but now that he had met him directly, there was no guarantee that he would not have any flaws.
"My Lord, please don't forget that the three elite commanders of the Chu Kingdom are Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and this Jiang Qin. There are more than ten generals in the Chu Kingdom. If he is really mediocre, how can Sun Ce trust him to command the Yulin Army? ?”
Liu Bei, who had already relaxed a lot, suddenly regained his tension.
"Brother, the military advisor is right, let's hurry up."
Walking on the other side of Liu Bei was Zhang Fei. He had shaved his beard cleanly in disguise, which was quite eye-catching.
As he spoke, Zhuge Liang's breathing became much smoother. Liu Bei nodded, and everyone hurried on the road again.
After leaving the mountain road, the road was naturally much easier to walk, and everyone was traveling a little faster.
After walking for another half an hour, Liu Bei and others had traveled more than ten miles. Zhang Fei suddenly stopped and turned to look at Liu Bei.
"Brother, I have always been proud of you."
Liu Bei was stunned. He didn't know what Zhang Fei was talking about. Before he could think about it, Zhang Fei hit him on the neck and he fainted.
······
Da~da~da~
The sound of tight hoofbeats was as violent as flames.
Speaking of Jiang Qin and others, after making up their mind, Jiang Qin and Su Fei led 800 riders to catch up, followed by 2,000 infantry, and everyone ran towards Langxie.
To be honest, everyone was unsure whether they could catch up with Liu Bei, until everyone saw the burly man standing in the middle of the road.
The man was holding two knives and was wrapped in thick gauze. His appearance was particularly handsome. He was one of Li Shan and others from before.
"Zhang Fei?"
Jiang Qin looked solemn. Although he had already guessed, there was a portrait of Zhang Fei circulating in Chu State's military intelligence. His face was full of beards. He should have a rough and heroic image, but the man in front of him was quite handsome.
Since Zhang Fei is staying behind, how can he be secretive? Hearing this, he grinned and sneered.
"It's your grandfather Zhang Yide! The enemy generals all have names. Grandpa's men will not kill the nameless ghosts."
"Jiang Qin."
"Are you Jiang Qin, the general of the Yulin Army? Huh, do you dare to fight?"
Zhang Fei's murderous intent seemed to turn into an icy wind and hit his face, and Jiang Qin could even feel the sound of blood coagulating.
This is a great master at the pinnacle of martial arts. Normally, he would not be killed without thousands of soldiers and horses, but Jiang Qin only has 800 horses around him now.
The battlefield where the two sides faced each other was quiet, and no one answered for a while.
Su Fei couldn't hold himself back at first and leaned over to ask Jiang Qin for advice.
"General, I'm here to lead the charge! Zhang Fei was severely wounded by General Zhao and was on the verge of death. He was also chased by military advisors. Even if he escaped with his life, he would still have hidden wounds that have not healed. At the moment, his combat strength is at most five or six points. With my elite Yu Lin, I will definitely We can kill this gang. The longer it takes, the greater the chance Liu Bei will escape!"
This is not unreasonable, not to mention that I, the Yulin man, can defeat three men one by one. If we really fight to the death, I might be able to kill Zhang Fei.
But a person's name is like a tree's shadow.
I'm afraid that if Su Fei really charges forward, Zhang Fei's backhand can only take one or two swords, which is no different from killing other soldiers.
Besides, if all the cavalry is here, who will chase Liu Bei?
Jiang Qin hurriedly stretched out his hand to block Su Fei.
"Don't be impulsive. A dying tiger is at its most ferocious, so you must plan carefully."
Jiang Qin originally wanted to wait for the infantry to arrive before launching an attack, which would be more confident, but Su Fei's words also reminded him that time was not on his side.
Jiang Qin immediately said to Su Fei.
"Have you noticed that in order to disguise themselves as servants of aristocratic families, Liu Bei and others only wore some simple leather armors. How could they protect themselves from bows and arrows?"
Su Fei's eyes lit up as he heard Jiang Qin continue.
"You give an order to the soldiers behind. Pull those who are good at archery to the front and don't dismount. The whole army mainly shoots with bows and arrows. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance."
Su Fei was overjoyed and immediately took the order and left.
Zhang Fei stood unmoving in the middle of the road. He thought he could delay it for a while, so he was naturally happy that the Chu army did not dare to move forward. However, after the enemy general's adjutant-looking man in front of him left, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Jiang Qin, you are neither advancing nor retreating. What do you want?"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly, the valley echoed, and the birds were frightened.
Jiang Qin gently patted the horse's mane with his hand to calm the horse's mood. He stared at Zhang Fei with a stern face and never answered.
Not long after, Su Fei returned to Jiang Qin.
"General, get ready."
While talking, the soldiers around him were advancing and retreating, and many crossbowmen had already hung their arrows and walked to the front.
"Fire the arrow!"
With a command, hundreds of arrows were fired directly or thrown away from the string.
"Bastard! Jiang Qin, you only know how to make sneak attacks with arrows, and don't you dare to fight me to the death with real swords and guns?"
Zhang Fei waved his swords left and right to block the incoming arrows. He instinctively took a few steps back, but soon he realized that no one could cover his retreat. The only thing he could do was move forward! Tear apart the enemy army!
"kill!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly again, and while the Yulin army was taking advantage of the opportunity to unstring the arrow, the tiger's body shot out.
The second round of shooting came in an instant, but it could only temporarily block Zhang Fei, and many arrows fell behind Zhang Fei.
Jiang Qin's pupils suddenly shrank. Although he had eight hundred riders, due to the problem of vision, most of the people behind him could only shoot at Zhang Fei. Only the dozen riders in the two rows in front could shoot directly at Zhang Fei. At this time, once Zhang Fei charged, he only had to block a dozen arrows in front of him, and all the thrown arrows fell into the air.
So fast!
Zhang Fei was a few meters away with one step. The distance between the two sides was a hundred meters, and it was estimated that twelve or three breaths would be gone.
As soon as the third round of shooting ended, Jiang Qin immediately ordered a U-turn and fled.
Zhang Fei was eager for the fight to end, but he didn't expect Jiang Qin to be so despicable. He held his breath and ran wildly in his chest. In order not to let go of the breath, he didn't bother to scold Jiang Qin, but just chased with all his strength.
But how can two legs catch up with the war horse?
Jiang Qin watched the soldiers around him turn around and shoot back, and gained a new understanding of the cavalry's tactics. He believed that if Zhao Yun's white horse Yi Cong were here, they could keep moving in the same shooting state.
Of course, if Zhao Yun's white horse Yi Cong was really here, he would have fought to the death in an upright manner. Jiang Qin couldn't help but regret letting Wei Yan take people to the east city gate. If Wei Yan stayed by his side, with his strength enough to fight Zhang Fei dozens of moves, and with the cooperation of the soldiers of the Yulin Army, he could also kill Zhang Fei head-on with relatively small losses. There will no longer be such a scene of one person chasing 800 people.
At this moment, compared with the lives of the soldiers, Jiang Qin chose to be shameless.
After chasing for two hundred meters, Zhang Fei changed direction and ran away. Zhang Fei was not stupid. Sprinting with maximum explosive power was extremely exhausting. If he continued to chase like this, he would collapse first before anyone could catch him.
The Yulin Army soon discovered this situation.
"Chase!"
Everyone turned around and went back to chase Zhang Fei. A storm of arrows struck again. Zhang Fei stopped running and stood on the spot to block.
Faced with this situation, his only way to survive was to escape into the mountains and use the cover of trees to escape.
With a whoosh, an arrow pierced Zhang Fei's leather armor and pierced his right shoulder.
Zhang Fei did not escape into the mountains, but stood in the middle of the road. Because he was afraid that if he got out of the way, Jiang Qin would not care about him at all, but would rush over to chase Liu Bei.
If you chase but can’t catch up, what else can you do?
Zhang Fei had no choice.
No matter how superb his martial arts skills are, he is still a body of flesh and blood, with more and more scars.
With a whoosh, an arrow pierced the sole of Zhang Fei's foot.
Zhang Fei remained unmoved.
However, Jiang Qin ordered a dozen archers to dismount and line up in two rows in front.
"Jiang Qin! You cowardless bastard! Hahaha~~hahaha~~"
With a whoosh, an arrow pierced his chest.
With a whoosh, an arrow pierced his stomach.
It's so tragic that one can't remember how much time has passed.
Arrows were hung everywhere on his shoulders and thighs. Zhang Fei looked like a hedgehog, and blood pooled at his feet.
He finally stopped blocking and stood in the middle of the road with his two swords, staring straight ahead.
The arrow rain stopped.
Da~da~
Jiang Qin stood on horseback in front of Zhang Fei, jumped off his horse, and said with fists in his hands.
"General Zhang is truly a hero. Jiang Qin dare not compare with him."
Jiang Qin waved his hand, and a group of cavalry bypassed Zhang Fei and rushed past, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.
Jiang Qin pays his respects again.
