On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Xiaoting Fire burned more and more fiercely, and Liu Zhang's camp was completely burned.
The fire raged at will with the support of the wind, and half of the sky was reflected red by the light of the fire.
Thanks to this light, Liu Bei, who was chasing Liu Zhang in Ma'anshan, received help from his vision.
The pursuit continued, and Liu Bei couldn't remember how much he had climbed over the mountains alone.
Liu Zhang was very determined to escape and had no intention of surrendering.
Under constant pursuit, Liu Zhang's remnant troops were defeated without much loss, but Liu Bei's 40,000-strong army suffered heavy casualties!
Mountain pursuit requires extremely high quality of soldiers. Liu Beijun, who has never experienced mountain combat, naturally does not have this ability.
Incidents such as falling down, falling behind, being trampled, getting lost, etc. continue to occur.
Ever since they entered the mountain, Liu Bei's soldiers began to hear continuous screams.
Liu Bei couldn't bear it at first. After all, his family was small and his business was small. How could he bear such casualties?
But looking at Liu Zhang's defeat, who never left his sight, Liu Bei could only grit his teeth and persevere.
So what if Liu Zhang is captured and a hundred thousand elite soldiers are lost!
After Liu Bei made up his mind, he not only ignored the constant casualties of soldiers, but also continued to urge the pursuit as soon as possible.
The faster the speed, the greater the casualties!
The greater the casualties, the more unwilling Liu Bei was and the more he had to speed up the pursuit.
For a time, Liu Bei seemed to be trapped in an endless loop without knowing it.
As we go deeper into the mountains, the road becomes more rugged, which is a cruel blow to Liu Bei's soldiers who are completely unadapted to mountain warfare.
As the president's commander-in-chief, Liu Bei was indifferent and only knew how to urge the soldiers to speed up.
The distance from Liu Zhang's defeated troops was not shortened, but the casualties of our own soldiers were increasing.
Finally, Guan Yu couldn't stand it anymore!
According to a rough estimate, 10,000 people may have been left behind!
"Brother, is it really okay to keep chasing like this?"
In the face of huge temptation, Guan Yu suddenly regained some sense.
The deserters in front are so strange!
No matter how we pursue, we will always maintain a distance where we can catch up but cannot catch up immediately.
Even after completely disappearing from sight and falling into despair, it immediately reappears in your eyes.
Liu Zhang's defeated troops moved through the mountains very skillfully, and it was surprising how familiar they were!
What puzzled Guan Yu the most was that none of these people were left behind.
Liu Bei listened to Guan Yu's doubts, but had no intention of replying to him.
Liu Bei has asked himself this question countless times, but every time he sees something, he always gets a firm reply.
In front, Liu Zhang's banner, the eye-catching word Qin!
As a commander-in-chief, you can be defeated or flee, but you can't throw away your flag!
The big banner is so obvious that the soldier is still holding on to it and not letting go in this state. There is only one reason.
Liu Zhang was in the army ahead.
"Yun Chang, if you change the angle, you and I are running away from the front and Liu Zhang is chasing us from behind, what will you do?"
"Of course I'm trying my best to escape, I can't let Liu Zhang catch me!"
Guan Yu blurted out without thinking, and immediately understood what Liu Bei meant.
"Brother is saying that it was precisely because we were chasing him that inspired Liu Zhang's desire to survive?"
Liu Bei actually didn't want to waste his breath explaining to Guan Yu.
However, Guan Yu is a general in the army and must have an unswerving pursuit momentum.
"That's right! Liu Zhang thinks very highly of himself. Can he be willing to fall into our hands?"
When Liu Bei thought of Liu Zhang kneeling at his feet, Liu Bei was instantly filled with strength.
At the same time, Liu Bei believed that Liu Zhang thought so too!
The thought of kneeling in front of him probably made him run even harder.
Liu Bei's words were very reasonable and Guan Yu could not refute them.
It's just that Guan Yu always feels something is wrong.
"Brother, these enemy troops in front of us are moving fast and slow, and they never leave our sight. Isn't it worthy of suspicion?"
Liu Bei shook his head firmly. He had already thought about this problem.
"Yun Chang, this just illustrates a problem."
"Liu Zhang is just like us, he is almost reaching his limit!"
"Whether we capture Liu Zhang and then occupy most of the world, or Liu Zhang escapes with his life, it depends on who can persevere better!"
"No matter what, I won't let this opportunity go!"
Liu Bei's eyes were full of determination. He never doubted that this might be the only chance to defeat or even capture Liu Zhang.
All the strategies were perfect, and Liu Bei couldn't think of anything suspicious.
The soldiers who were burned to death in the camp screamed pitifully.
Although it is not said that there were 100,000 people, there were thousands of people in the air that Liu Bei witnessed with his own eyes!
Is it possible that Liu Zhang deliberately abandoned thousands of people and burned them alive in order to convince Liu Bei?
It makes absolutely no sense!
If Liu Zhang had known that all this would happen, he could have launched a strong counterattack without killing anyone!
Isn't that true when everything has a reasonable explanation, and there is only one explanation?
It is a fact that Zhuge Liang's fire attack strategy succeeded.
It is also true that Liu Zhang’s 100,000-strong army suffered all casualties.
At this time, Liu Zhang was fleeing hastily from the front, which is also an undisputed fact.
For Liu Bei, it is a fact that he is about to capture Liu Zhang with his own hands and win this battle!
"Second brother, don't worry too much, Liu Zhang's defeat is an indisputable fact!"
"Catch Liu Zhang and our brothers will become famous all over the world!"
"Huh... I obey, little brother!"
After Guan Yu took a breath, he nodded heavily.
At this point, there is really nothing to worry about. It is only a matter of time before victory is declared.
"Soldiers, speed up!"
After thinking about this, Guan Yu no longer hesitated. After roaring, he actively increased his speed and chased forward.
Guan Yu was so desperate, Liu Bei was naturally unwilling to fall behind, and immediately used all his strength to move forward bravely.
With the leadership of the commander-in-chief and the general, the soldiers felt greatly inspired.
Soon the distance between the two parties began to shorten.
Although this speed is extremely slow, it is still a big incentive for Liu Bei.
While chasing after him, time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the light in the sky gradually defeated the darkness.
The pursuit actually lasted all night!
After the vision gradually became clearer, the obstacles of the rugged mountain road were greatly reduced, and Liu Beijun's pursuit became more comfortable.
And Liu Bei was also pleasantly surprised to find that the distance to Liu Zhang in front was less than 200 steps!
Although he was very tired, he still felt that his body had inexhaustible strength.
"Brother, Liu Zhang's escape has slowed down!"
Liu Bei felt happy after hearing this, and rubbed his eyes hurriedly to prevent himself from being dazzled.
The fact is that just as Guan Yu said, Liu Zhang's escape speed is decreasing significantly!
In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two parties was reduced to a hundred steps!
"Hurry! Liu Zhang is dying!"
"Soldiers, whoever captures Liu Zhang will be promoted to the tenth level, and will be granted the title of Marquis!"
