Chapter 69: Zhao Zilong is a brave man

That night, Huang Zu returned to the city with a embarrassed look on his face. Seeing this, the governor Su Fei asked: "How is the battle today?"
Huang Zu shook his head and said: "Today there was a headwind on the river, and I almost couldn't get out. Fortunately, thanks to Gan Xing's dominance, Sun Quan's son was well prepared this time. It seems to be a hard battle..."
"Where is Xingba?" Su Fei asked hurriedly.
"He cut off my queen just now. If he is alive, he will come back soon. It's getting late now. We should fight again tomorrow." Huang Zu slumped on the chair, and his followers followed him and took off his armor.
Su Fei had a friendship with Gan Ning. At this time, he was waiting outside the door, hoping that this guy would come back safely.
Huang Zu looked at his back and said: "Order the sentry towers on the shore to strengthen the vigilance, and beware of Sun Quan's people landing at night."
"I'll do it right away." Su Fei responded and went out.
Su Fei just walked out of the government office and met Gan Ning, who was covered in blood.
"I hope Xingba returns safely." Su Fei sighed.
Gan Ning said excitedly: "On the way to the rear just now, I shot and killed one of the enemy's generals."
Su Fei said happily: "You go back to the camp to rest first. I will go see General Huang later. Maybe I will use you again."
"Thank you, Commander." Gan Ning said with cupped hands.
Su Fei waved his hand and said, "Go back first."
Su Fei personally went out of the city to inspect the sentry towers along the coast. The news about Su Jing during the day made him cautious. After returning to the city, he told Huang Zu about Gan Ning's decision to kill the general, hoping that the other side could reuse this talent.
Huang Zu said lazily: "When Sun Quan's son is defeated, I will discuss the merits and reward him."
Early the next morning, there was heavy fog along the Xiakou coast.
Huang Zu prepared his troops and horses early in order to board the ship and take up a position on the river to prevent Sun Quan's navy from taking advantage of the fog to make a sneak attack.
At this time, soldiers from the west gate came to report and said: "Liu Bei of Xinye came to support Xiakou under the order of the lord, and now the troops have arrived outside the west gate."
After Liu Bei defeated Xiahou Dun at Bowangpo, he became quite famous among the entire army in Jingzhou. Huang Zu said happily, "Why don't you hurry up and welcome him into the city?"
The gatekeeper said in a low voice: "Captain Su asked us to conduct a strict interrogation, saying that he was worried that Sun Quan would sneak in, so..."
"Liu Xuande is not careful, go and welcome them in." Huang Zu waved his hand and said.
"only."
"Slow down..." Just as the soldier was about to leave, Commander Su Fei stopped him.
He said: "Yesterday, the imperial soldiers from Xiangyang came to deliver a message with the Lord's Tiger Talisman in their hands, saying that Sun Quan sent people to sneak into the rear in order to use Liu Bei's name to gain access to Xiakou. It is foggy today..."
"How many troops does Liu Bei have outside the west gate?" Huang Zu asked again.
"Only a hundred horses," the soldier replied.
Huang Zu looked up to the sky and smiled and said: "Fortunately, my lord reminded me, otherwise Jiangxia would be in danger. Sun Quan wants to seize the city with a hundred horses? I will go and capture this spy myself."
Just as Huang Zu got on his horse, someone came to the south city gate to report that a Jiangdong warship had been spotted on the river.
Huang Zu snorted coldly and said, "I'm going to command the naval warships. Captain Su, you go and capture Ximen's Xizuo. When I take the general's head, I'll be able to humiliate Sun Quan."
"Wei." Su Fei replied, cupping his fists.
After the arrangements were completed, Huang Zu and Su Fei led their troops out of the city.
Liu Bei waited for a whole day in Linzhang but received no reply from Su Jing. Because they were leaving in a hurry and the food they brought had been exhausted, they had no choice but to rush east to Xiakou.
After waiting at the west gate for half an hour, I heard thunder in the city.
After the city gate was opened, the horse and infantry troops filed out. There were about thousands of them lined up in front of the gate.
Liu Bei said to Zhao Yun on the horse: "I have heard that Huang Taishou does not know etiquette. From what I have seen today, it is a fallacy. The battle in Jiangxia is so fierce, and he can send this formation to greet him. It really makes Bei sigh."
Su Fei lined up in front of the formation and called the formation and shouted: "Is this the person coming, Liu Xuande of Xinye?"
Liu Bei straightened his clothes and rode his horse to the front of the formation. He raised his hands and replied loudly: "I am Liu Bei. May I ask the general's name?"
"Little blue-eyed boy, how dare you cheat? Kill me..." After Su Fei finished speaking, he drew his sword and pointed forward, and the thousands of soldiers and horses swarmed up like a strong wind.
Liu Bei: A blue-eyed boy? A deceiver?
Zhao Yun:???
"I am Xinye Liu Bei..."
"The one we killed was Liu Bei..."
"Lord, leave quickly." Zhao Yun saw something was wrong and immediately led Liu Bei into the formation.
Liu Bei murmured as he retreated: "What does Huang Zu mean?"
The hundred cavalry accompanying them came hungry. Su Fei's people thought they were Sun Quan's troops. The two families had deep grudges for various reasons, so they immediately killed them when they met.
One hundred hungry light cavalry were instantly defeated by Su Fei's thousands of soldiers and horses, and soon only a dozen cavalry were left to follow Liu Bei.
At this time, the fog had not yet dissipated, so Liu Bei could only flee blindly.
Zhao Yun saw that the other party was pursuing him, so he resolutely said: "My lord, you can go straight north to Xinye, and Yun will stay behind to cut off the rear for you."
"Zilong..."
"Lord, hurry up."
When Liu Bei saw Zhao Yun counterattacking the enemy formation, he sighed and fled north.
Zhao Yun rushed into the enemy's formation single-handedly, fighting from left to right like a god coming to the world, and his body was covered in blood in an instant.
His spear shot out like a dragon and killed many generals.
When Su Fei arrived with the infantry from behind, hundreds of people surrounded Zhao Yun in Gaixin, but no one dared to get close because of their bravery.
"Captain, this man has killed more than thirty of my generals, why not shoot him with an arrow?" a deputy general suggested.
Mounted archery is a very advanced combat method. It can move on the battlefield and hit the target. It is rare even among the foreign tribes in the north. Huang Zu's Jingzhou soldiers did not know how to mount archery, so most of the chasing cavalry could not even use bows and arrows.
Didn't carry it.
Seeing this, Su Fei sighed: "I didn't expect there to be such a fierce general in Jiangdong, but I can go and ask for his name."
The deputy general shouted in front of the formation: "Can I leave my name for the coming general?"
Zhao Yun immediately looked at everyone with a gun in hand and shouted: "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan."
The voice was so powerful and melodious that Su Fei's soldiers were startled when they heard it, as if they heard the cry of hell.
Su Fei held his saddle and sighed: "Perhaps Gan Xingba can fight with him. I should capture such a hero alive and order the whole army not to shoot cold arrows."
"only."
Zhao Yun became more and more courageous as he fought alone. He estimated that Liu Bei had gone far away, so he rushed north with all his strength.
The cold light is everywhere, and the iron gun seals the throat.
A white horse crosses the border, blood stains the armor.
Although Zhao Yun attracted many pursuers, two groups of cavalry followed Liu Bei closely.
Liu Bei held two swords and fought and fled. At about noon, the fog dispersed, and he fled alone to the northwest of Jiukou.
Jingzhou is located on both sides of the Yangtze River and was called Yunmengze in ancient times. It was very difficult to march and horseback. People often entered the area by mistake and got stuck in the swamp. When Liu Bei panicked and didn't choose his way, he jumped into the swamp.
At this time, the pursuers from behind were approaching, and Liu Bei was trapped in the quagmire and was about to be captured alive.
In a panic, Liu Bei was afraid of hitting his horse and said: "Lu, you are in danger today, so you can work hard."
The Luma seemed to be able to understand human speech. It moved left and right in the quagmire, then jumped up and landed directly in the open space.
Liu Bei breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he no longer dared to step on the meadow. He just looked for the main road and ran north. The pursuers were almost stunned when they saw this, thinking, what kind of horse is this?
Lu Ma, whom Liu Bei relied on, fled for a few more miles. Suddenly he saw dust flying in front of him, and many soldiers and horses were running towards him.
At this time, facing attacks from both front and rear, Liu Bei was at a loss.
Just when Liu Bei was despairing, he suddenly saw blue characters on the flag.
