With an order, the army entered Jiuli Pass in a mighty manner.
In order to prevent accidents, half of the elite troops were divided into the front line, led by Guan Yu, and the rest escorted the grain and grass. Now it was autumn, Shang Biao slowly rose up, and the entire army was on alert, with weapons in hand, always ready to counterattack.
By the time the whole army entered the valley, it was already midnight.
The sky is getting darker, the clouds are dense, and there is no moonlight in the night. The wind is blowing harder, howling in the valley, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The further you go inside, the harder it becomes.
Chen Gong followed Liu Bei, looked up at the valleys to the left and right, and said worriedly: "My lord, the valley is narrow, mountains and rivers are facing each other, and trees are thick. If there is a bandit army attacking with fire, the consequences will be disastrous."
Liu Bei was suddenly startled.
Suddenly a cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he looked up hurriedly.
However, there were densely packed trees all around, and the roaring wind in the valley added to the power of the fire. If there was really a bandit army using fire attack, they would definitely die here.
So he hurriedly gave an order: "The whole army speeds up and passes through this valley as quickly as possible!"
I didn't dare to stay for a moment longer.
At this moment, I heard loud shouts behind me, and a fire broke out on the right side of the valley. Then, the reeds on both sides started burning. In an instant, fires broke out in all directions, and with the strong wind, the fire became even more intense.
Seeing the light of the fire, Liu Bei's entire army lost their minds.
The soldiers and horses trampled each other, and countless people died. The entire valley was filled with fire, and the smoke was so thick that it shot straight into the sky. When viewed from above, it looked like a fiery red ribbon.
"Brother, let's go!"
Zhang Fei shouted loudly and led hundreds of soldiers to rush over, preparing to lead Liu Bei out of the sea of fire.
Zang Ba led his troops to protect Chen Gong, Xu Sheng led his troops to protect Chen Deng, Jian Yong and others. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun quickly came to Liu Bei's side and rushed towards the other side of the valley as fast as possible. , extremely fast.
At the cliff.
Zhang Xiu stood on a rock, overlooking the fire below. He glanced across the valley and saw at a glance Liu Bei's generals defending the core personnel and rushing towards Jiuli Pass, with their equipment rushing through Jiuli Pass.
Seeing them galloping in, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly: "Order! Release the rolling stones!"
"Here!"
Gan Ning, who was behind, agreed, then turned around and asked the messenger to wave the flag.
"Boom!"
The battle order was issued, and there was a sound like a landslide and earth cracking in the valleys on the left and right. The valley began to tremble, and countless boulders rolled down from the top of the valley, blocking the way.
Guan Yu and others immediately halted their horses and did not dare to move forward.
Liu Bei was riding on horseback, looking up and around, and shouted loudly: "I am the empress of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, and the emperor's uncle Liu Bei. Who are you? Why are you blocking my way here and ambushing our army?"
At the top of the mountain, Gan Ning heard Liu Bei's voice and turned his attention to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu sneered and said to Gan Ning: "When you come back and reply, just say that we are Huang Zu of Jiangxia, and we have been ordered by the envoy to intercept and kill the fake Liu Bei."
Gan Ning smiled with his white teeth exposed, and then shouted: "People below, listen, I am Huang Zushiye, the general of Jiangxia. I have been ordered by the envoy to come here to intercept Liu Bei, who is pretending to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty. .”
When Liu Bei heard this, he became anxious and shouted: "Brother Yuanyang (Huang Zu's name), please stop immediately. I am not pretending, but the real Liu Bei, Liu Xuande."
Zhang Xiu immediately gave Gan Ning some advice. Gan Ning laughed evilly and shouted, "How do you prove that you are the real Liu Bei and not a fake Liu Bei?"
Liu Bei: "..."
In such a critical moment, where can you prove your authenticity?
Chen Gong immediately said: "Lord, these people are definitely not Liu Biao's people. Liu Biao definitely doesn't know that our army is here. Even if he knew, he would definitely come to intercept and kill them."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he became angry and shouted: "Hey! You shameless villain, you dare to gossip here. If you are a man, come down here and watch Grandpa Zhang poke ten thousand transparent holes in you."
But there was no response from the mountain.
With the power of the strong wind, the fire became more and more arrogant, burning up the valley. Countless people were burned. Thick smoke billowed. There were sounds of burning trees everywhere, and the surrounding temperature continued to soar.
"Ugh! I'm going to die here!"
Seeing such a situation where there was no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth, Liu Bei looked up and cried bitterly. He had failed to realize his empty ambitions, so he died mediocrely in the mountains and old forests. His heart was extremely desolate.
Suddenly, he felt a drop of cold water dripping on his cheek.
His eyes suddenly opened and he looked towards the sky with bright eyes.
At this time, there was a strong wind, black air filled the sky, a thunderbolt sounded from the sky, and the rain poured down in an instant, and the fires in the valley were extinguished by the heavy rain.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Bei escaped from death and laughed wildly, "If God does not destroy me, God will not destroy us!"
On the cliff, Zhang Xiu's face was ashen.
No matter how hard he calculated, he never expected that a thunderstorm would come, extinguishing all his plans and giving Liu Bei the possibility of escape.
"Gan Ning! Ma Chao! Wei Yan! Wang Shuang! Pang De!" Zhang Xiu shouted coldly.
No one looked equally ugly and shouted at the same time: "Here!"
"Follow me down the mountain. We must annihilate Liu Bei's entire army and don't let anyone go."
"Here!"
Zhang Xiu angrily prepared to go down the mountain. Li Ru immediately knelt down in front of Zhang Xiu and blocked the way: "My lord, there is a thunderstorm and the valley is extremely dangerous. Kuang Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun are all masters who can defeat ten thousand enemies. Don't take risks. You can order Governor Gan to lead the generals there, and we will supervise the battle here."
Gan Ning and the others did not dare to let Zhang Xiu take danger, and immediately said: "Please rest assured, my lord, we would rather die in battle than let Liu Bei and the others go."
Zhang Xiu said with a cold face: "No one is allowed to die," and then looked at Li Ru, "You will supervise the battle from now on, and I will go down personally. Liu Bei is a thorn in his side, and we must not let him go."
After that, he hurried down the mountain.
In order to prevent Zhang Xiu from danger, Gan Ning and others asked Hu Che'er and Zhang Gan to lead the guards to do the security work. They led their troops to attack Liu Bei's army first.
The generals on both sides are responsible for guarding the Lord's advance.
"kill--!"
Gan Ning took the lead and charged on horseback. He roared and charged into the heavy rain, followed closely by his own bodyguards, followed by Ma Chao, Wei Yan, Pang De and Wang Shuang.
"These thieves finally came out!"
Zhang Fei became excited, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he immediately rushed off with his horse.
Guan Yu was also angry in his chest, with a frown and cold eyes, riding a red rabbit horse and holding a green dragon crescent knife to kill, followed closely by Xu Sheng and Zang Ba.
Gan Ning was the fastest and faced Zhang Fei first. They fought for more than ten rounds without deciding the outcome. Ma Chao came from behind and killed him. Gan Ning abandoned Zhang Fei and went to fight Guan Yu.
Zhang Fei faced off against Ma Chao.
The two sides fought non-stop and fought in the rain.
Gan Ning faced off against Guan Yu. After dozens of rounds, he felt a little strenuous, but he could still handle it. Fortunately, Pang De rushed in, and the battle immediately became much easier. At this time, Zhao Yunting shot him, and Gan Ning gave up on Guan Yu and faced Zhao Yun.
Wei Yan fought against Zang Ba, and Wang Shuang fought against Xu Sheng.
The generals on both sides were working hard. Behind Guan Yu and the others was Liu Bei, and behind Gan Ning and the others was Zhang Xiu who was about to charge, but they all encountered strong opponents.
Zhang Fei and Ma Chao fought for dozens of rounds, with neither victory nor defeat.
Zhang Fei had not fought like this for a long time. He did not expect to encounter a strong opponent at this critical moment. What was even worse was that all the enemy generals were masters and Guan Yu was stopped.
"Whose troops are these?"
Zhang Fei was shocked, a thunder light lit up in his mind, and a person's figure shone.
