574 Burning Yangtze River (14)
The Coiling Snake Valley was quiet, except for the sound of Zhang Fei's army walking, there were only some owl calls left, and occasionally a few wild beast roars came from a distant place.
The barbarian king Shamoko led 20,000 barbarians to the front of the ranks, and the barbarians were very accustomed to walking on the mountain, but in this crooked and narrow valley of the snake, they did not show their advantage in the slightest.
The army of more than 20,000 was forced to disperse into a long army, like an hourglass, filtering the sand bit by bit.
Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, Hao Zhao and others were all ambushed on the cliffs on both sides of the Snake Valley, in order to climb this cliff, they can be said to have spent a lot of effort, in order to kill Zhang Fei tonight.
Since Zhang Xiu's arrival, everyone has been full of energy, and they are all waiting quietly, waiting for the moment when the order is given, and then they can carry out an overwhelming attack.
In contrast, Zhang Xiu's army is far less than Zhang Fei, but Zhang Xiu's army occupies the right time and place, if Zhang Fei can't be killed today, then Zhang Xiu will feel very incompetent!
Time passed little by little, when the brute soldiers walked through Zhang Xiu's eyes, Zhang Xiu felt that the time was ripe, so he gave an order, but saw countless boulders on both sides of the cliff "rumbling" down and rolled down, the snake valley was already narrow, in the process of falling rocks, countless stone chips flew wildly, and the entire snake valley was dusty.
Immediately afterwards, countless muffled sounds came from the bottom of the valley, and the screams came one after another.
The moment the boulder fell, it directly cut off the connection between Zhang Fei and Shamoke, in the narrow valley road. A wall was piled up high by boulders. cut off the front and back contact with Zhang Fei's army. The one behind advances, and the one in front cannot go back.
At the same time, Zhang Fei's retreat was also cut off, Zhang Fei led Peng Tuo and other 5,000 Shanyue troops, which were blocked alive in this snake valley, calling the heavens should not be, the earth and the earth were not spiritual, and there was no way to heaven. There was no way to enter the ground, and most of them were seriously injured by the boulders, and they were dying at the bottom of the valley.
Fortunately, there were not too many boulders falling in the places where Zhang Fei, Peng Tuo and other more than 100 people were located, and Zhang Fei was strong in martial arts, holding a Zhangba snake spear, and directly smashed the falling boulders.
Merely. Everyone is trapped here, and they can't get out.
Shortly after the rock fell. While everyone was still in shock, they heard a gong from the mountain, and countless arrows fell from the sky and shot densely towards the valley.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei hurriedly shouted, "Hide under the rock!" ”
The soldiers hid under the rocks one after another to avoid the shooting of the arrows, but the swords had no eyes, and the rocks that could be dodged were limited, so many soldiers were still hit by the arrows, some were directly killed, and some were injured, lying on the ground and screaming.
For this sudden ambush, Zhang Fei can be said to be unexpected. He completely followed Fazheng's advice and acted on it, thinking that this plan could be perfect, but he didn't expect that he was still seen through after all, and he was ambushed.
Zhang Fei hid under the rock, squinting his eyes and looking at the upper part of the mountain, such a high cliff, such a deep valley bottom, and such a narrow passage, even if the army would not be completely annihilated, but if the enemy guarded outside for three days and five nights, they would probably starve to death.
Once miscalculated, Zhang Fei did not resent Fa Zheng, but felt that the enemy was too strong, but he didn't expect someone to see through Fa Zheng's strategy, and also adopted the strategy of planning and besieging them here.
Zhang Fei and the others don't know how many enemies there are, and now all they have to do is to save their lives as much as possible and wait for dawn.
After two consecutive bursts of arrows, the arrows stopped, and for a long time afterward, no more attacks were received.
However, there was no quiet in the Valley of the Snakes, and in exchange for endless wails and screams in the valley.
When the boulder split Zhang Fei and Shamoke in two, the barbarian king Shamoke, who was at the front, suddenly felt frightened and did not dare to stay in the Snake Valley for a long time, but walked forward with his subordinates one after another, wanting to get out of the Snake Valley.
At this time, Hao Zhao, who was ambushed at the mouth of the Snake Valley, suddenly led the army to kill and blocked the mouth of the valley with arrows, and countless boulders on the cliffs on both sides began to roll down, directly blocking the exit of the Snake Valley, leaving only a group of barbarians in the valley crying wolves there.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er and others led their subordinates down from the cliff, and together with Hao Zhao, they scattered at both ends of the Snake Valley, guarding the Snake Valley to the death, and not letting a single person come out of the Snake Valley.
Zhang Fei had already come to the entrance of the southern end of the Snake Valley at this time, he was vigorous, climbed on the rock that cut off the Snake Valley, and took a look at the situation outside, but saw that Zhang Xiu led the army to block the valley mouth, and it was even more difficult to break through from here than to ascend to the sky.
In the Snake Valley, it was full of injuries and diseases, and it was also crowded with people, Zhang Fei asked people to count, and there were about 600 people who were slightly injured who could still go into battle, more than 2,000 people who were seriously injured, and the rest were killed.
If according to normal times, Zhang Fei with these more than 600 people can completely break through. But now they are trapped in the Snake Valley, this place can only accommodate three people in a row, and the enemy is guarding the valley mouth, even if they want to break through, they are coming out in threes, facing a large number of enemy troops, it is simply vulnerable, and if you act rashly, it is tantamount to asking for your own death.
However, Zhang Fei knew very well what the enemy was doing, they stayed here and did not attack, just wanted to trap them here alive. This time, Zhang Fei took away most of the soldiers and horses in Wuling County, and there were only more than 1,000 people in Linyuan City.
It is better to seek others than to seek oneself, Zhang Fei feels that at this moment of life and death, if you want to survive, you can only rely on yourself. Xiang Lang, Fa Zheng and others are not here, Zhang Fei can only rely on himself to find a way.
Suddenly, Zhang Fei had an idea, and thought of the fake Zhang Fei head made of dough that Fa Zheng had asked him to bring before, so he immediately asked people to find it.
Fortunately, this fake Zhang Fei's human head made of dough, which was held in a wooden box, fell under a stone at the bottom of the valley, and due to the obstruction of the stone, it did not suffer any damage, except that one part of the wooden box was broken, which may have been broken when it fell to the ground.
Peng Tuo took the wooden box, walked over from behind, and handed it to Zhang Fei directly.
Zhang Fei hurriedly opened the wooden box, and after taking a look, he felt that this human head was really like him, vivid, as if he had seen another self.
Zhang Feiha laughed, and asked people to get some blood, and then smeared it on the face of the dummy head, and messed up the hair stuck to the head of the dummy, covering half of the face, so that people could not see anything.
After finishing the matter, Zhang Fei smiled and said to Peng Tuo: "Is it like it? ”
Peng Tuo nodded and said, "It's exactly the same as the general, general, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to confuse the real with the fake!" Zhang Fei said, "You go and tell the soldiers, if you persist in persevering, we can go out after nightfall." ”
General Peng Tuo said suspiciously: "General, the enemy army has already surrounded us, how can we get out?" ”
"I've got a plan!" After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei fell into Peng Tuo's ear and said something carefully. After Peng Tuo heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded again and again.
"Now that you know the general details, let's start now, gather all your more than 600 elite subordinates, and prepare for a big battle at night!" Zhang Fei said.
Peng Tuo nodded, turned around and left, while gathering his subordinates, he found a corpse with a similar figure to Zhang Fei in the corpse, and then asked people to carry it to the front and put it in front of Zhang Fei's eyes.
"General, this corpse is very similar to the general's figure, I'm afraid I won't be able to find a second one." Peng Tuodao.
Zhang Fei looked at it carefully, compared it again, and said, "Okay, it's just this corpse." ”
Then, Zhang Fei took off his armor and asked him to put his armor on this person's body, and then unsheathed his sword, drew out his extremely sharp saber, and hugged his fist at the corpse and said: "Brother, I didn't mean to offend, but this is the time of life and death, anyway, you are already dead, and it doesn't hurt to die again." If this plan can be successful, I, Zhang Fei, will make daily offerings in the future! ”
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fei asked Peng Tuo what his name was, and Peng Tuo told Zhang Fei his name, and then Zhang Fei was ruthless, waved the long sword in his hand, and when the sword fell, the corpse was in a different place.
After that, Zhang Fei and the others began to wait for a long time, and in the evening, Zhang Xiu's side really sent someone to persuade him to surrender, which roughly means that they only need Zhang Fei's head, if someone sacrifices Zhang Fei's head, everyone in the snake valley will be rescued.
After Zhang Fei heard these voices, he asked Peng Tuo and them to start a good show, first some people disagreed, then some people agreed, and then the two waves of people began to fight, and after some fighting, someone killed Zhang Fei and wanted to sacrifice their heads, just to let them live.
Zhang Xiu's side really believed it, and after several negotiations, the two sides jointly used their hands to move away the boulder blocking the valley mouth, and then released them to live.
When Zhang Xiu learned that Zhang Fei had been killed, he asked people to sacrifice their heads and sent Hu Che'er to lead his troops to defend the valley to prevent anyone from cheating.
When night fell, the valley mouth of the Snake Valley was brightly lit, Hu Che'er and others were holding torches, the last rock in the valley was removed, and the soldiers in the valley did not rush out, but under the leadership of Peng Tuo, they carried a headless corpse out in an orderly manner, and the armor worn by the corpse was Zhang Fei's, in addition, Peng Tuo's hand also carried a bloody human head, but because of the fluffy hair, covering half of the face, it was not very clear.
So, Hu Che'er shouted at Peng Tuo: "Send Zhang Fei's body and head over!" After you find out, I'll let you out of here! (To be continued......)
