Chapter 40: Cheng Yuanzhi uses himself as bait
Knowing that Zhang Fei was strong, Cheng Yuanzhi was very careful when facing it.
When Zhang Fei's snake spear stabbed over, Cheng Yuanzhi immediately used a big axe to block.
Clang!
The snake spear in Zhang Fei's hand did not take it back, but wrapped around Cheng Yuanzhi's battle axe, and then shouted loudly, and the snake spear went up.
Cheng Yuanzhi's face changed greatly, and he felt an irresistible huge force, and the power he was proud of was completely crushed in front of Zhang Fei.
The tomahawk flew away, and he didn't need to pretend to fail at all, Zhang Fei just made him lose his weapon with just one move.
Cheng Yuanzhi didn't care about picking up the battle axe, slapped the war horse under his crotch, and immediately ran towards the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.
"The thief will take a break." Zhang Fei grabbed the horse's belly and chased after him.
Even if he was alone, he dared to rush into the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army, without a little fear. There was only Cheng Yuanzhi in front of him in his eyes, and he vowed to stab Cheng Yuanzhi to death with a spear.
"Third brother, be careful." Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei rushed into the enemy army with one person and one horse, and hurriedly chased after Guan Yu and 10,000 Han troops.
"Big brother, don't worry, see how I take his dog's head." Zhang Fei stabbed over a row of Yellow Turban Army and turned around and shouted.
But because of the obstruction of the ordinary Yellow Turban Army, Cheng Yuanzhi has already run away.
Then the Yellow Turban Army began to retreat, although this had been prepared for a long time, but the Yellow Turban Army was under the impact of the Han army, and the retreat seemed very chaotic.
Liu Bei's three brothers led 10,000 Han troops to pursue continuously, and 50,000 Yellow Turban troops suffered heavy casualties.
Although Cheng Yuanzhi is on the run, he is always paying attention to the movements of Liu Bei's three brothers.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Chen Fan's ambush point, Cheng Yuanzhi's heart gradually calmed down.
Although the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties this time, as long as they could get rid of Liu Bei's three brothers, all these casualties were worth it.
These ordinary Yellow Turban Army, Cheng Yuanzhi can have as many as he wants.
Broken Soul Cliff!
At the top of the cliff, Chen Fan was already ready to fall stones, and countless stones were piled up on the edge of the cliff, the big ones were tens of hundreds of catties, and the small ones were only the size of fists.
But even the smallest stone, thrown from this cliff dozens of feet high, is so lethal that it can smash a person's head.
At the top of the cliff, Chen Fan looked at the rolling army, his face cloudy.
Cheng Yuanzhi has not died in the hands of Guan Yu, which makes him very disappointed.
Who lives and who dies?
If Cheng Yuanzhi was already dead, he wouldn't have to be so entangled.
Cheng Yuanzhi was the first to reach the foot of the Broken Soul Cliff, and he kept biting behind the Yellow Turban Army, and the two sides never broke off.
"Push." Chen Fan said excitedly.
"Three leaders, but Qu Shuai is still below." Someone said.
"Don't you see that the Han army is going to retreat, it's too late if you don't push it, even if Qu Shuai is here, he will make the same decision as me." Chen Fan personally picked up a stone of more than ten catties and threw it to the bottom of the cliff.
Big brother, I'm sorry, whether you can survive or not depends on your luck.
As Chen Fan was the first to smash the stone down, the other Yellow Turban soldiers no longer hesitated, and for a while, countless stones rolled down from the top of the cliff.
"It's not good, get out of here." The first stone fell, Liu Bei looked up, and was immediately shocked.
Although Liu Bei has great ambitions, he has only just started after all, and he has only fought a few battles with the Yellow Turban Army in the past few days, and he does not have much combat experience, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he does not realize that he is poor and not chasing.
If in a few years, in a dangerous place like the Broken Soul Cliff, Liu Bei would definitely order to stop the pursuit in time.
In this pursuit, in addition to Liu Guanzhang's own lack of experience, but also because the other party was a Yellow Turban Army, Liu Bei was somewhat careless.
"Withdraw, withdraw."
Although countless Yellow Turban troops were also at the bottom of the cliff at this moment, in the face of the stones rolling down from the mountain, Liu Bei's first choice was to retreat, and immediately withdrew with people.
Both sides at the bottom of the cliff had forgotten about the battle, and they were dodging the falling stones from the cliff, and the screams were incessant, and many people's bodies were smashed.
Cheng Yuanzhi was also in the area covered by the falling rocks, and he looked at the cliff too much, very angry.
But in the face of the stones that rolled down one after another, Cheng Yuanzhi could only continue to escape, he could not retreat, he could only continue to run forward.
Fortunately, the area covered by falling rocks is not very large, only more than 100 zhang away.
Liu Bei's 10,000 Han troops quickly retreated because they had just stepped in, and the losses were not very large.
Even Zhang Fei, who chased deeply, successfully retreated after picking up a stone that smashed at him, and none of the three brothers were injured.
This ambush, because of Chen Fan's early order, killed more Yellow Turban soldiers.
Cheng Yuanzhi's luck was also very good, he was not hit by the falling rock, and successfully escaped the rockfall covered area.
The falling rocks also quickly stopped, and under the cliff were countless times more smashed corpses, which was terrible to see.
Cheng Yuanzhi quickly came to the top of the cliff with the remnants of the soldiers.
"Chen Fan, why did you push the stone down in advance?" Cheng Yuanzhi began to question Chen Fan.
He was very angry, this stone rain not only failed to kill Liu Bei's three brothers, but killed thousands of his own people.
Although Chen Fan was the third leader, he couldn't give him a good explanation this time, and he didn't mind killing Chen Fan.
There is only one chance, and today he failed to kill the three brothers of Liu Bei, and Cheng Yuanzhi didn't know how to break through Zhuo County in half a month.
"Big brother, I also want to wait for the Han army to go deeper, but at the top of the cliff at that time, I already saw that the Han army had the intention of turning around and withdrawing, so I could only immediately order the stone to be pushed down." Chen Fan said: "I was too careless, I should have arranged a team of men and horses at the entrance to block the Han army inside." ”
Cheng Yuanzhi was a little suspicious, the team was very chaotic when he retreated, saying that the retreat was just a good thing, and the 50,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Cheng Yuanzhi just now was almost a rout.
Although Cheng Yuanzhi has been paying attention to Liu Bei's three brothers, in the chaos, it is difficult for him to conclude whether Liu Bei had already retreated at that time.
If it is really as Chen Fan said, then Chen Fan pushed down the stone in advance, this decision is not wrong, if it were him, he would choose it the same way.
But Cheng Yuanzhi will not listen to Chen Fan's words.
It's just that Cheng Yuanzhi asked a few people, and the answers were basically similar to Chen Fan's, or he didn't see it clearly.
But no one dared to say for sure that the Han army was not ready to retreat at that time, and Chen Fan pushed down the stone in advance without permission.
And just when Cheng Yuanzhi wanted to ask a few more people, there was a sudden shout of killing, and the Han army had already killed.
After Liu Bei withdrew, he did not immediately retreat to Zhuojun with people, but immediately killed him at the top of the mountain.
In today's incident, Liu Bei has already seen that Liu Yan has the intention of suppressing himself.
At this moment, if you are ambushed and go back, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by Liu Yan to make trouble.
Therefore, Liu Bei didn't think much about it, and directly set off to the top of the mountain with his men and horses, to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army on the top of the mountain.
Although because of the ambush, almost 1,000 people of the Han army were stoned to death.
But this time he had 10,000 Han troops around him, that is, he lost 1,000 people in the battle, and now there are more than 8,000.
Even though he had just been ambushed, Liu Bei did not flinch and was bold.
And neither Chen Fan nor Cheng Yuanzhi thought that Liu Bei, who was ambushed in the face of the encounter and escaped by luck, did not return to Zhuo County immediately, but entered the mountains and forests and chased after him.
