Zhang Xiu did not send anyone to pursue, although Zhang Fei did not have many people left, but these people were extremely combative, in case of a battle of trapped beasts, I was afraid that both would be defeated.

Zhang Fei's main army was trapped in the Snake Valley, and even if he led the remnants back to Linyuan, Zhang Xiu would take it down in one go after a short rest. What's more, now Zhang Xiu has been injured and can't pursue it at all, so it's better to heal his injuries and attack Linyuan again.

And Zhang Fei was carried by Peng Tuo, and under the escort of more than 200 Shanyue soldiers, he was finally out of danger.

However, everyone did not dare to stop along the way, for fear that there would be pursuers. I ran out of the mountain road for more than ten miles, and when I saw that there were no pursuers chasing after me, I stopped on the side of the road to rest.

Peng Tuo put Zhang Fei in a forest, and then sat on the ground, tired and out of breath.

Zhang Fei saw that Peng Tuo was tired like a dog, so he said: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise, I would definitely die in the Valley of the Snake." ”

Peng Tuo said: "The general doesn't need to thank me, we are the general's subordinates, if the general dies, we can't live, in fact, saving the general is equivalent to saving ourselves." General, fortunately, the enemy army did not chase after him, but the army that was blocked in the Snake Valley was afraid that it would not be able to get out. What do we do now? ”

Zhang Fei pondered for a moment, sighed heavily, and said: "Now that our army has suffered heavy casualties, and my foot has been injured again, I can't do anything, so I can only return to Linyuan, regroup, and wait for reinforcements to arrive." ”

Peng Tuo said: "Then we will return to Linyuan first." General, come up, I'll carry you! ”

Zhang Fei saw that Peng was about to die. He shook his head. He said, "No." You're tired already, I can't let you carry me anymore. You'd better rest a little longer, and we'll be on the road again later......"

After a while, Zhang Fei suddenly had an idea, and said to Peng Tuo: "Otherwise, let's make a plank, and you take turns to carry me away, so that." You don't have to be so tired. ”

Peng Tuo said: "I think it's okay, then I'll let them cut down the tree!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Peng Tuo immediately summoned a few henchmen and ordered them to cut down the trees, then tie the trunks together to make a wooden row, and then let Zhang Fei sit on it, and ten soldiers carried Zhang Fei away, changing a wave of people every quarter of an hour, so that everyone would not have to be so tired.

The group walked like this. Passing through some villages, they begged for some food and water. Then take a short rest and continue on the road, until the evening of the third day, the group came to Linyuan City.

Linyuan City was in front of him, ten Shanyue soldiers carried Zhang Fei, Peng Tuo walked in the front, and then said to Zhang Fei excitedly: "General, I'll call the door." ”

Zhang Fei nodded, and Peng Tuo walked quickly to the bottom of Linyuan City, shouting loudly at the closed tower of Linyuan City: "Lord Governor is back, hurry up and open the city gate and let us in!" ”

After a while, the suspension bridge of Linyuan City was really lowered, and the city gate was slowly opened, and a group of soldiers lined up at the city gate, and then a strange face came out of it, and glanced at Zhang Fei behind Peng Tuo with sharp eyes, and then flashed to the side, standing there quietly, without saying a word.

At this time, Peng Tuo suddenly stared at this fresh face and asked, "What's your name?" How come I haven't seen you before? ”

The face of the fresh face suddenly showed a trace of nervousness, and hurriedly said, "I...... My new ......"

Peng Tuo let out an expressionless "oh", and was about to walk towards the city, when he suddenly turned around, pulled out the saber tied to his waist, and without saying a word, slashed at the head of the fresh face.

The man didn't even react, and his head was in a different place, and the rest of the people were even more shocked.

At this time, I saw Peng Tuo quickly retreat backwards, and shouted at the people behind him: "Get out of here quickly, be careful of the ambush." ”

This sudden scene made Zhang Fei feel very surprised, why is there an ambush here?

didn't wait for Zhang Fei and the others to react, but they saw that arrows were raining down on the tower of Linyuan City, and at the opening of the city gate, a general with a phoenix mouth knife in his hand, riding a green horse, and hundreds of cavalry appeared with his might, it was actually Huang Zhong.

Zhang Fei knew Huang Zhong, and when he saw Huang Zhong appear here, he was very surprised, he couldn't have imagined that Huang Zhong would appear here.

In addition, the ambush soldiers outside Linyuan City appeared, and thousands of ambushes poured out from all directions, and they were surrounding Zhang Fei here.

"Zhang Fei, you have been surrounded, if you know each other, surrender quickly, otherwise, your head will fall to the ground!" When Huang Zhong saw Zhang Fei, he immediately shouted loudly.

Zhang Fei couldn't answer half a sentence at all, he was looking around now, looking for a breakthrough, but the mountains were full of enemy troops, about thousands, and they only had more than two hundred people, and they were all tired divisions with various degrees of injuries, how could they be the opponents of these new forces.

Just when Zhang Fei was at a loss, Peng Tuo had already come to Zhang Fei, raised his hand to the northwest and said to Zhang Fei: "General, look, it's our army!" ”

Zhang Fei looked in the direction pointed by Peng Tuo, and sure enough, he saw a biao army, with a big banner with the word "Zhang", and the clothes of the army were the officers and soldiers of Zhang Fei's department, and the young general who was riding a war horse and charging ahead turned out to be Liu Xian. Behind Liu Xian, Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi followed closely, and at the end of the team, Zhang Fei vaguely saw the figures of Fa Zheng and Xiang Lang.

"There is no endless road, retreat to the northwest quickly!" Zhang Fei immediately said to Peng Tuo and the others.

More than 200 Shanyue soldiers, under the leadership of Peng Tuo, carried Zhang Fei to the northwest at the fastest speed, and Huang Zhong, who came out of Linyuan City, chased after him, and was about to be caught up by Huang Zhong, only to see Huang Zhong take out his bow and arrow, pull the bow and arrow, his eyes were like meteors, and with a "whoosh" sound, a black feather arrow flew out of the sky and chased after Zhang Fei's back.

Huang Zhong's archery skills are superb, and this arrow is as fast as lightning, but I saw this feather arrow piercing the sky. shot directly into Zhang Fei's waist. And Zhang Fei was sitting on a wooden row. He suddenly fell on his side, lying on the wooden raft, and almost fell down.

Zhang Fei's subordinates were all taken aback when they saw it, Liu Xian, Jin Xuan, Gong Zhi and others hurriedly killed from behind the enemy, broke through the defense line, and directly met Peng Tuo and others, and then Jin Xuan and Gong Zhi escorted Peng Tuo, Zhang Fei and others out of here. And Liu Xian rode his horse and galloped, holding a gun to take Huang Zhong directly.

"Liu Xian!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Liu Xian's ears, Liu Xian was riding between the spears, and suddenly looked back, but saw that Zhang Fei lying on the wooden row was fine, holding a feather arrow without an arrow in his hand, and was shaking his head at him constantly, signaling him not to be reckless and leave this place quickly.

Liu Xian saw that Zhang Fei was fine. The anger was gone, and he suddenly turned the horse's head. Then he commanded the soldiers to intercept the fight, and escorted Zhang Fei and others to retreat first.

Fa Zheng and Xiang Lang waited in the distance, and after receiving Zhang Fei, they joined forces and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

Huang Zhong's subordinates were shouting to pursue, but they were stopped by an order from Huang Zhong, and then Huang Zhong turned his horse's head and collected his troops and went back to the city.

Yang Xiu, who was standing on the tower of Linyuan City, witnessed the entire battle with his own eyes, and also saw Huang Zhong shoot an arrow into Zhang Fei's waist, and Zhang Fei was lying on the wooden platoon dying in the scene, and when Huang Zhong returned with the army, Yang Xiu was already waiting at the gate of the city. ”

Huang Zhong said: "Zhang Fei has been shot by me, this arrow is right in his vital point, he will definitely die, since Zhang Fei is dead, what else will the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crabs have to catch?" The purpose of our trip is to occupy Linyuan City, and now that the purpose has been achieved, we can collect our troops. ”

Yang Xiudao: "I have heard for a long time that the archery skills of Dudu are unparalleled, and there are 100 steps to penetrate Yang's technique. Although Zhang Fei has been hit by an arrow, he must see people alive and dead to see corpses, and if he does not see Zhang Fei's corpse, he must not take it lightly. Since the governor is unwilling to pursue, then I will lead the army to pursue, and if Zhang Fei's head is not taken, this operation will not be regarded as a complete victory. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang Xiu immediately gave the order, asked for a war horse, stepped on the war horse, led five hundred cavalry, and quickly chased after him.

Huang Zhong saw that Yang Xiu chased after him, his brows furrowed, looked at the direction of Zhang Fei's escape, and said secretly in his heart: "Yide, how can you say that we have also been colleagues, and Xuande Gong treats me well, I will let you live this time, as for whether you live or die in the future, it has nothing to do with me, from now on, we will have nothing to do with it, if we can be lucky enough to meet again next time, it will definitely be a real fight, and it will definitely not be the same as this time." ”

Zhang Fei was lying on the wooden raft, holding the arrow without an arrow shot by Huang Zhong tightly in his hand, and holding a note in the other hand, on which only the four big words "Go to Yuanling" were written, which meant that he was informing Zhang Fei of a message.

"General, there is a three-way intersection ahead, which direction should we go?" Suddenly, the person in front came to Zhang Fei's side and asked.

"Go to Yuanling!" Zhang Fei didn't think about it, so he immediately said this sentence.

Because, Zhang Fei trusted Huang Zhong's note very much, otherwise, Huang Zhong would not have shot him with an arrow without an arrow.

At that time, Zhang Fei was hit by an arrow in his waist, thinking that he would definitely die, because Huang Zhong had superb archery skills, and he was a well-known archer. But after a while, Zhang Fei didn't notice the pain in his waist, grabbed the arrow and looked at it, it turned out to be an arrow without an arrow. Although Zhang Fei was rough on the outside, his mind was very detailed, and he immediately thought that Huang Zhong was deliberately showing mercy, and in addition, he also found a wrapped note beside him, which should have been shot along with the arrows.

So, Zhang Fei immediately cooperated with Huang Zhong to play a good show, fell on the wooden row, and pretended to be an arrow.

Zhang Fei gave an order, and the group went to Yuanling one after another, but after walking a few steps, Zhang Fei suddenly remembered something, so he immediately called Liu Xian and told him some words.

After Liu Xian heard this, he nodded again and again, and then took thirty cavalrymen, stayed, cut off the branches on the side of the road, tied them behind the tails of the horses, and then divided into three teams of ten people, riding war horses, pulling branches, running towards the intersection of three different directions, and meeting for three days to gather in Yuanling.

The three teams of men and horses, after Zhang Fei and the others walked away, separated and galloped in three different directions, the tail of the horse pulled the branches, and the branches rolled up bursts of smoke and dust on the ground, looking from a distance, as if many people had just walked here.

Yang Xiu rode a fast horse, with five hundred cavalry all the way to chase over, when he arrived at the three-way intersection, he immediately stopped, one of the three forks of the road leads to Yuanling, one leads to Changsha, one leads to Chongxian, and on the three roads, there are traces of marching.

After Yang Xiu saw it, he sneered, and said: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, now Zhang Fei is cornered, and Lingling doesn't have many soldiers and horses, he must have gone to Changsha to take refuge in Guan Yu, you all go with me, chase in the direction of Changsha, if you can cut off Zhang Fei's head, King Yan will definitely reward a thousand gold!" ”

Everyone was suddenly in high spirits, and they rode their horses one after another, and followed Yang Xiu to chase towards the road leading to Changsha...... (To be continued......)
