Hearing this roar, Zhang Liao, who was chasing after him, couldn't help but his face twitched.
This bridge was obviously cut down by your own people, okay, so what does it have to do with me?
But he didn't explain, because the current Lu Bu wouldn't believe it at all.
Seeing that the way back was cut off, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel desperate. He turned to Gao Shun and sighed: "Righteous, we will die here."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Gao Shun shook his head and disagreed with this view.
"Oh, is there another way to go?" Lu Bu said in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Gao Shun shook his head again, but looked at the gently flowing river.
"The Bian River is long and narrow, and the current is not fast. For this reason, if you want to survive, you have to abandon your armor and weapons and swim through the water."
"this……"
Lu Bu can naturally swim, and his armor and weapons can be forged later, but he will not give up the red rabbit horse under his crotch no matter what.
Gao Shun saw Lu Bu's dilemma and quickly advised: "General, you can find a good horse again, but if you lose your life, you will have nothing. Besides, the war horse can also float, so it may not drown. The situation is critical now." , General please make a decisive decision immediately!"
"All right."
Lu Bu let out a long sigh, stretched out his hand and caressed Chitu twice, with reluctance and pain in his eyes.
"Whether you live or die depends on your destiny."
After saying this, Lu Bu suddenly raised his palm and slapped the horse's back hard.
The red rabbit horse received the order and rushed into the water with Juechen.
Lu Bu and others also quickly took off their armor, quickly jumped into the water, and swam towards the other side of the river.
By the time Zhang Liao and others chased them to the shore, Lu Bu had already swam dozens of feet away.
"Listen carefully, if I manage to escape, I will kill you one day!"
Lu Bu shouted in the water.
Xia Houyuan couldn't tolerate him, and said angrily: "Humph, you dare to speak arrogant words and shoot arrows when you are about to die!"
Dozens of crossbowmen immediately surrounded him and began shooting arrows into the water.
No matter how strong Lu Bu was, he was still blind when he entered the water. He was unable to dodge the incoming arrows and was hit by several arrows in an instant.
Gao Shun next to him was not much better, with several arrows stuck in his back.
However, the two of them were pretty lucky and no critical injuries were sustained after all.
Visibility was extremely low in the dark night, and after the crossbow archer cocked the bow for the second time, Lu Bu was no longer in sight.
Xia Houyuan still refused to give up, and directed the crossbowmen to launch several rounds into the water before giving up.
Zhang Liao was silent throughout the whole process, his face extremely calm, he just silently picked up the Fang Tian Hua Ji dropped by Lu Bu on the ground, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
Xingyang City Head.
After receiving the news of the defeat of the coalition forces, Liu Bei and Zhang Heng rushed to the city to garrison.
It's not that the two of them are clairvoyant and can see the battle situation here, but they want to prevent the Xiliang army from coming over so that they can personally command the defense of the city.
Fortunately, Guan Yu and the other three were really up to par. They waited until midnight and finally did not see the Xiliang army. Instead, they waited for the defeated Suanzao princes.
A small group of cavalry quickly rushed to the city and shouted to the top:
"Open the city gate quickly. I am Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu. Open the city gate quickly!"
Hearing the sound, Liu Bei and Zhang Heng hurriedly looked down, and by the light of the torch, they finally saw clearly the faces of the people coming, it was Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi.
"Quick, open the city gate!"
Liu Bei hurriedly ordered, but was stopped by Zhang Heng.
"Ziyi, what are you..."
“Mr.
After saying this, Zhang Heng turned his head and shouted down: "Master Fu, how is the battle ahead?"
Zhang Miao was so anxious that he couldn't think of answering Zhang Heng's question, but he was worried that Liu Bei wouldn't let him into the city, so he had to say: "Ziyi, I'll tell you when I get in. It's better to open the city gate now." ."
Zhang Heng shook his head, and with a smile, he bowed his hands to the city and said: "The city gate cannot be opened. If there is a bandit army following the prince and taking the opportunity to enter the city, everything will be over. Mr. Xuande is responsible for guarding the city. The city has important responsibilities, so I don’t dare to act rashly, so please forgive me.”
Hearing this, Zhang Miao's expression suddenly became extremely exciting.
Of course he understood what Zhang Heng meant. After all, the original proposal to let Liu Bei defend the city came from him.
Zhang Ziyi, you are so vindictive, right?
"Ziyi's thoughtfulness is admirable. Since we can't open the city gate, you can put a few hanging baskets to pick me up and wait for me." Zhang Miao shouted again.
"Of course, sir, please wait a moment."
This time Zhang Heng agreed very happily, and then put down several hanging baskets and picked up Zhang Miao, Yuan Yi and others one by one.
After ascending to the top of the city, Zhang Miao finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground, a joy of surviving the disaster emanating from his heart.
"Thank you Xuande, thank you Ziyi!"
Zhang Miao and Yuan Yi thanked them.
Although Zhang Heng made things difficult for him, he didn't save him at the end of the day, and Zhang Miao was still grateful.
Zhang Heng waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's just a matter of effort. You don't have to worry about it. How is the battle on the front line?"
"Frontline war..."
Hearing this question, Zhang Miao's heart was filled with sadness and pain again, and his face suddenly collapsed.
In this battle, not only were all his troops beaten to pieces, but even his brother Zhang Chao died in the battle!
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao had tears in his eyes and couldn't help but feel sad.
He suddenly regretted letting Liu Bei defend the city. If Liu Bei also participated in the battle, maybe the battle would not be defeated. After all, Liu Bei had won many battles before, even annihilating Dong's thief's 30,000 former troops.
Thinking of this, Zhang Miao suddenly came to his senses.
The Xiliang army is obviously so strong. Why did Zhang Ziyi describe Dong Zhuo as vulnerable when he was in Suanzao?
Is it just to lure us to send troops to join the war?
But...why is he doing this?
But then I thought about it. When Zhang Heng returned to Suanzao last time, he neither said that Dong Zhuo was weak nor invited everyone to join the battle. All of this is just speculation by myself and others.
Now that they are defeated, how can they blame him for this?
Besides, even his own life was saved by Liu Bei's generals, so what else can he say?
For a moment, Zhang Miao felt mixed feelings in his heart, and the expressions on his face were also colorful. He looked at Zhang Heng with a complicated look.
Seeing that Zhang Miao didn't speak, Zhang Heng asked with concern: "Is Mr. Fu okay? Is he injured?"
Zhang Miao shook his head and said in a bleak tone: "In today's battle, our army was defeated miserably. Now..."
As soon as he was halfway through his words, there was another loud shout from the city.
"Quick, open the city gate!"
Everyone quickly stood up and took a look. It turned out that Liu Dai and Kong Ni had escaped.
Zhang Heng smiled when he heard this, put down a few more hanging baskets like before, and picked up Liu Dai and Kong Ni.
"Thank you, dear brother, for coming to the rescue!"
Compared with Zhang Miao, Liu Dai's attitude was much better. He thanked Liu Bei as soon as he came up.
"You don't have to worry about it." Liu Bei shook his head and said.
Just when Liu Dai was about to say something else, there was another call at the door. It turned out that it was Qiao Mao who had arrived.
"Go on, put the hanging basket."
Zhang Heng waved his hand again and smiled lightly.
If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, he would have thrown his head up to the sky and laughed a few times.
I have made you grab credit, made you narrow-minded, made you greedy, and your current state of embarrassment is your retribution!
These hanging baskets should be well preserved as souvenirs. After all, not every hanging basket is lucky enough to carry so many princes.
