Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 329 This Son Seeks Death

Time passed by minute by minute.

At the darkest hour of summer, the vanguard of that army had reached five miles outside Xiapi City.

At this time, Xiapi City was already brightly lit, horses neighed and walked back and forth. It could be said that the whole city had entered a state of alert. If this group of people wanted to sneak attack at night and surprise them, it was completely impossible.

From Liu Bei's point of view, the other party...or can directly say that Wang Zheng should have no plans to fight at night.

Otherwise, the army should not be allowed to set up camp and come to the city with only 1000 troops.

The night was getting deeper.

The generals on the top of the city were both sleepy and drunk, but they didn't dare to fall asleep. At this time, the main force of the city gates had already been stationed, and everyone was whispering to each other, just guessing that this army suddenly appeared below the city What is the origin of the army.

Of course, someone has already guessed the truth.

After all, at this time in Xuzhou, there was another yellow scarf bandit called the governor who was actually a thief.

But what puzzled them was that if the king's government was attacking, why did it appear in the direction of the northeast instead of the west of Xiapi?
Liu Bei, who had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, continued to send out scouts, while secretly thinking whether he would take the initiative to reveal the mystery and when.

While thinking about it, the scouts came back one by one to report the news.

In the middle of the night, when the enemy army was about five miles away from the city, they stopped, as if they were taking a rest, and at the same time observed the terrain and environment around Xiapi.

When Chou Shi cock crowed, the enemy continued to advance again and quickly approached Xiapi.

Up to now, it is only two miles away from the city!
At this time, a scout rushed to the top of the city, shouting: "Zhou Mu, it's not good, it's not good, those group are not humans, they are monsters, they are ghosts!"

These words stunned everyone, Liu Bei was also stunned for a moment, and then he sternly reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense before the battle! "

"Zhou Mu, I'm not talking nonsense." The scout looked terrified, and hurriedly explained: "Just now I sneaked closer and accidentally saw"

"Among those people, some of them suddenly became taller, and their stature grew by more than a circle."

"That's not what a monster is."

"Come here!" Before he could finish speaking, Liu Bei cut off his words directly: "Behead this person who disturbs the morale of the army!"

Before the battle, Liu Bei didn't know why this old soldier who had been with his family for a long time would say these words, and he didn't believe it at all, but he knew that he couldn't let the other party continue talking!

"Zhou Mu, the villain is not talking nonsense." The scout was startled: "I really saw this with my own eyes."

Liu Bei didn't even look at him anymore, but said solemnly: "Let's cut!"

Just as the soldiers were about to step forward, Guan Yu snorted coldly, jumped out, grabbed the scout by the hair, and the scout exclaimed in surprise, "Second Lord, I really didn't say anything."

Before he finished speaking, Guan Yu pulled out his waist sword directly, and saw a cold light flashed, and he cut off the scout's head with a single blow, and the hot blood in his neck immediately poured all over the ground.

"Hang this head on the gate!" Guan Yu casually threw the head to a personal guard, and ordered: "Show it to the three armies!"

"Here!"

When Guan Yu retreated again, Liu Bei pressed his sword and looked around at the crowd with piercing eyes.

He shouted loudly: "Masters, no matter who the invading enemy is, do you have the confidence and preparation to go hand in hand and defeat it?"

Looking at Liu Bei's tall body standing upright on the top of the city, majestic as a mountain, as majestic as a god, thinking that it was he who led them to complete an impressive record of winning more with less not long ago, everyone was full of pride and courage, thinking in their hearts , even if the enemy is really an evil spirit from hell, in front of this heroic state shepherd, he will be the master of Yiyi!

All the generals echoed in unison, shouting in unison: "Yes!"

There was also an eight-foot man with a swallow jaw and a tiger beard standing out, kneeling in front of Liu Bei on one knee, and said, "Brother, I have one thing to ask you to do!"

It was Zhang Fei.

Liu Bei was startled when he heard this.

Ever since he became sworn brothers with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he ate at the same table and slept in the same bed. Their friendship was so deep and their relationship so deep that even true brothers of flesh and blood might not be able to compare.

But both Zhang Fei and Guan Yu know the general situation, and they always treat each other with respect in public, so why did they suddenly act uncharacteristically?
Surprised, Liu Bei didn't have time to think about it, and the first reaction in his mind was that no matter what Zhang Fei mentioned, he was so solemn, and he had absolutely no reason to disapprove.

He stepped forward to help Zhang Fei directly, and said seriously: "Yide, what do you have to say, just say it!"

Zhang Fei cupped his hands vigorously, then turned his head to look down the city, his leopard eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Liu Bei followed his gaze and saw that it was the only light in the endless darkness outside the city.

The torch was lit, reflecting about a thousand cavalrymen, and it became clear in my heart, and I understood what Zhang Fei wanted.

Before Tangyi fell, if we talk about subjective reasons, it is naturally Zhang Fei's own problem.

If it wasn't for him getting carried away and being greedy for drinking, Tangyi might not have fallen into the hands of thieves, and the county guard Zhao Yu would not have died there directly.

The defeat in this battle had a far-reaching impact. Not only did the small number of defenders suffer greatly, their morale was low, and even the strategy of defending against the enemy at the front line failed completely, but it also directly led to the fall of the entire territory of Guangling County.

Of course, if you want to talk about objective reasons, at least in Zhang Fei's opinion, it's because of the Wang Zheng!
If it weren't for Wang Zheng, the general Ji Ling had just been stabbed under the horse by Zhang Fei in the eyes of the two armies, Yuan Jun's morale had already been low, and even the dragons had no leader. It would not be easy to stay in the camp outside the town. How could he have the courage to attack the city?
In this matter, Liu Bei never blamed Zhang Fei from the beginning to the end, but Zhang Fei himself felt ashamed and brooding.

Now knowing that the enemy has arrived, how can Zhang Fei hold back?
Sure enough, Zhang Fei's voice was like thunder, echoing in the sky: "Brother, I will be the vanguard in this battle!"

Hearing this, Liu Bei sighed secretly.

According to his idea, since Wang Zheng won Tancheng, he immediately pursued Xiapi. He must have come prepared. Even if the opponent's foothold is not stable at this time, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. .

After all, if you lose Guangling first, and then lose Tancheng, there is absolutely no way to miss this time!
That being the case, it is natural to stick to it a few days ago.

But what Zhang Fei said was that he wanted to take the initiative to ask for a fight. After all, how could there be any so-called vanguards in defending the city?
He groaned silently, facing Zhang Fei's fiery eyes, he couldn't refuse directly after all, smiled and said: "If there are soldiers and horses going out of the city to defeat the thieves, the bravery of my third brother will be known all over the world, so I should be the vanguard! "

While speaking, he turned his head to look down the city again, now that the distance was so close that he could see clearly, he saw that all of the thousand people were strong and strong, all of them were wearing black helmets and armor, and the momentum of a strong army was in full swing.

Even if they are enemies with each other, Liu Bei secretly affirms such elite teachers, and he also thinks that it is not a fluke that Zhuzi can succeed under Cao Mengde's nose.

When he was observing the enemy, the enemy also stopped under the city for a long time, as if they were commenting on Xiapi City.

In the silent confrontation, the sky was already bright, and the light of the torches was no longer so conspicuous.

But the formation on the opposite side became more and more clear. Thousands of soldiers, regardless of horses, were all motionless, standing on the plain below the city like cast iron. This strange silence made people feel anxious.

When dawn filled the sky, the enemy suddenly moved.

Amidst the sound of horseshoes and the flying dust, there was a faint cold light of swords and guns, just like the stars mixed in the twilight.

The people at the top of the city watched helplessly as they galloped side by side under the city, the array changed, and a road was unhurriedly divided, and then the two cavalry walked out slowly, one in front and one behind.

The rider behind was supposed to be a soldier holding the flag, who was carrying a big flag to hunt against the wind, and the flag was blown away by the wind, so that everyone could see a scarlet "King" character painted on the flag.

The rider in front of him was wearing a helmet and armor. He was tall and straight, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

However, the three brothers Liu Bei knew each other when they first saw each other.

This person is the king!
Wang Zheng held the rein with one hand, and when he was a stone's throw away from the city, he finally stopped.

He raised his head and looked at everyone, his gaze was like a knife.

At this time, the sky was already dawn, and the morning light came, fully reflecting the young man's raised eyebrows. Although only one of them was in front of the line, but riding solo, everyone could feel the arrogance of the other party.

After watching for a long while, Wang Zheng suddenly smiled, only to hear a clang, and the long sword in his waist jumped out of its sheath. Immediately, Wang Zheng raised his arm and raised the sword, pointing it sharply at a certain place on the top of the city.

This is a challenge?
The meaning represented by this action, even a seven-year-old child can see that everyone pointed in the direction, and immediately let out a soft "Huh" in unison.

It turned out that Zhang Fei was standing there.

This is a coincidence, do these two have a tacit understanding?
Zhang Fei was even more startled, and then burst out laughing loudly:

"Good, good, good!"

"Very good!" He looked at Liu Bei solemnly: "Brother, did you see it?"

"It's this Zhuzi who took the initiative to find my general!"

Liu Bei was silent for a while, and suddenly his face was beaming: "This son is looking for death!"

When it comes to the bravery of fighting alone, he has absolute confidence in his third brother!
In today's world, apart from that Wenhou Lu Bu, there is absolutely no one who can win!

"Third brother, let's go!" Guan Yu also shouted from the side: "I will beat the drum myself to cheer you up!"

"Slaying a stupid thief, why does Second Brother beat drums to help?"

Zhang Fei strode away quickly, and his figure quickly disappeared at the top of the city.

Not long after, amidst a dull sound, the gate of Xiapi City opened wide.

In the shadow of the door flag, Zhang Fei galloped out with a spear, roaring out, and when he arrived at the front of the formation, he shouted violently, as if Jiao Lei had rolled past!

"Yellow turban bandits! Do you recognize Zhang Yide from Yan!"

Wang Zheng glared at the big man, sneered, and was about to verbally taunt, but saw Zhang Fei urge his horse, but he rushed over without waiting for an answer.

At this time, the two sides were not far apart, taking advantage of the speed of the horse, under the sudden charge, it was really a moment of lightning, when Wang Zheng was stunned, the black face and black beard spanned a distance of several feet, coming out of the blue like cold electricity , face to face!
