Chapter 251 If you don't believe me, I'll try to kill you
Zhou Ping climbed onto the red rabbit horse and rushed out of the forest with Zhang Wu and more than a dozen guards, only to find that Zhang Fei and Xu Chu had killed all thirty enemy soldiers chasing Yang Wei.
Zhang Fei took the Zhangba snake spear and wiped it on the corpse on the ground, wiping off the blood on the tip of the spear. He said disdainfully: "These people really didn't beat me. I didn't even exert my strength. They were dead. I was just dirty."
The snake spear."
"Sir, what are we waiting for? Let's just rush over and forget it. I'm just planning to kill him! Hehehe..." Zhang Fei turned to Zhou Ping and said.
Zhou Ping did not answer him, but asked Yang Wei: "What's going on? Are there a large number of enemy soldiers in front?"
Yang Wei shook his head and replied: "No, I ran for more than 20 miles after passing the checkpoint. I was almost at the Wenshui River, and I didn't see any enemy soldiers. Maybe they didn't expect us to go from this way."
"Then why are they chasing you?" Zhou Ping asked again.
"When I passed the checkpoint, I told them that I was going to the Qingzhou Plain. When I came back, they discovered that I had just passed there. They interrogated me. No matter how I explained, they didn't believe me. They also said that I was a spy and were going to arrest me. I
In a rage, he drew his sword, killed both of them, and ran back."
Knowing that there were not a large number of troops in front of him, Zhou Ping felt relieved.
"I was negligent. I should have asked you to bring some clothes and put on makeup when you came back. Fortunately, you are fine. Since there is no ambush in front of us, let's rush over. We must cross the river tonight."
Hearing that he was about to attack the level, Zhang Fei suddenly became interested and laughed and said: "Hahaha... Ziwei, this time you stay by your side and let me clear the way in front."
"Have people put on their clothes and pretend that these pursuers are being chased by us. After passing by, we can attack them from both sides and get rid of them faster." Zhou Ping pointed to the corpses on the ground.
"I won't change it."
Zhang Fei heard that he wanted to change the clothes of the enemy soldiers and said immediately.
However, with his body shape and face shape, it would be easy to be exposed if he were to wear it, especially Xu Chu. These pursuers did not have such tall and thick people.
Zhang Wu was not suitable either. None of these pursuers had bows and arrows.
Xu Chu asked more than 20 people to change into their clothes, and others would take his own clothes with him, and he would change back after he rushed over.
After everything was settled, the twenty or so people ran ahead. Zhang Fei and Xu Chu led more than fifty people, more than a hundred steps apart, chasing closely behind and running forward.
Zhang Wu protected Zhou Ping and followed with a dozen guards and wounded soldiers.
At this time, it was already dark, and the soldiers at the checkpoint inspection office suddenly saw dozens of horses running towards them. Upon closer inspection, they found that they were all "ours" and that the people who had just been chasing them had returned.
They were far away and it was dark, so they didn't see that some people's clothes were in tatters, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.
"Xia Junhou, look behind them quickly."
Some soldiers shouted, and Xia Junhou quickly raised his eyes and saw that behind those "own men", there was a group of people chasing after them, all with weapons in their hands.
"Prepare for war! Prepare for war!" Xia Junhou shouted urgently.
Someone immediately moved the horses blocking the road to let these "own people" pass.
After these "own men" rushed over, they wanted to move back to resist the enemy and block the incoming enemy.
However, unexpectedly, those "own men" who rushed over stopped their horses, turned around, and slashed at the people who were moving their horses.
Xia Junhou was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Just when he was still confused, a strong man with a black face rushed up to him, raised his spear and stabbed him, still shouting: "Take a spear from me!"
He wanted to avoid it, but the spear thrust out by the black-faced Han Han was too fast. Before the sound of his shout had faded away, the snake spear pierced Xia Junhou's heart.
Until his death, Xia Junhou did not know why he died.
With the disguised soldiers and Zhang Fei and Xu Chu taking action, by the time Zhou Ping and Zhang Wu arrived, all sixty or seventy enemy soldiers had been killed.
"Let's go quickly."
Zhou Ping ordered the more than 20 disguised soldiers to continue wearing the clothes of the enemy soldiers, clear the way in front, and then change back after crossing the river.
When they arrived at the river, people wearing enemy soldiers' clothes went to a nearby village to capture two ferrymen and asked them to punt a boat to ferry Zhou Ping and others across the river.
It was already dark at this time, so Zhou Ping asked those who were wearing enemy soldiers' clothes to change back to their original clothes and find a hiding place to eat and sleep.
They all woke up before dawn the next day.
A dozen miles ahead is Wuyan County.
Zhou Ping first sent people to explore the way ahead, and everyone packed up and prepared to leave.
Not long after, I saw the people who were exploring the way ahead running back in a panic, patting their horses and running towards me, and then said hurriedly: "General, there are a lot of enemy soldiers blocking the way ahead."
Zhou Ping was slightly shocked and quickly asked: "How many people and horses are there?"
"I can't see clearly. There are about five or six hundred people, seven or eight miles away."
Five to six hundred people, this is not a small number.
Zhou Ping was thinking in his mind.
Now Cao Cao has led his generals to Xuzhou, and Xun Yu has gone to Yecheng. The person who stays in Yanzhou and calls the shots should be Cheng Yu.
With Cheng Yu's wisdom, he would have expected that he might take a detour from Dongping to Yecheng.
There are not many troops and horses left in Yanzhou to begin with. To divide the troops to guard so many roads, there will not be too many troops and horses in each place. To deal with dozens of people of our own, we don't need too many troops and horses.
Cheng Yu has already arranged a hundred men at the border of Dongpinglu County. Perhaps he expected that if he rushed over, he would definitely lose a lot of men. If he met the five or six hundred men in front, he would definitely be difficult to defeat.
But Cheng Yu didn't expect that he would only injure three people when he broke through.
It is impossible to go back now. Those who were killed when breaking through the barrier must have been discovered, and perhaps there are many soldiers and horses chasing behind them at this time.
Being attacked before and after, Cheng Yu arranged a good plan!
And if you don't follow the road and escape from the nearby fields and barren mountains, although you can escape temporarily, it will be difficult to get to Yecheng.
The safety of the people in Xiapi City and Xuzhou all depends on me!
"Sir, what are you thinking about? Let's kill him!"
Among the people who followed, only Zhang Fei could offer advice.
"Yes, we can't retreat at this time, we can only move forward all the way. We must get to Yecheng as soon as possible. The Lord is waiting for news about us in Xiapi!"
Zhou Ping said, and Zhang Fei grinned widely when he saw that his suggestions were adopted.
"How is the situation ahead?" Zhou Ping asked the soldiers exploring the road again.
"There are about a hundred cavalry, and there are horseback guards on the road, and there are dozens of archers, holding their bows facing the way they came. It seems that... they don't interrogate single travelers, but if there are two or more people, they will search and interrogate them carefully.
"
Zhou Ping thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The person they wanted to keep was me. They expected that I wouldn't pass alone. Since they don't check people traveling alone... Zhongkang, they probably haven't seen you. You walk to the interrogation gate."
We will appear later, and you kill the archers immediately. Ziwei, you and Zhong Kang kill the archers in front while we rush over."
According to Zhou Ping's intention, Xu Chu was asked to walk to the interrogation gate first, and they would not be too suspicious of the person walking.
As soon as Xu Chu arrives there, Zhang Wu will coordinate in front to deal with the archers, and then Zhang Fei will lead his men to kill them, so that his own casualties will be less.
Originally, Zhang Fei could have followed Xu Chu on foot alone, but his weapons were too long, and others would be suspicious if they saw his weapons from afar.
I'm afraid that before Zhang Fei reaches him, if someone asks him from afar, he will start shouting that he wants to chop off their head, but he won't be shot to death.
Xu Chu didn't know how to use a sword, and in terms of foot combat, Xu Chu was stronger than Zhang Fei.
"Sir, why don't you let me go ahead?"
Sure enough, Zhang Fei came to compete for the first place again.
"We must deal with those archers first. Do you have archery skills like Ziwei?" Zhou Ping asked rhetorically.
Zhang Fei remembered Zhang Wu shooting sparrows at Zhou Ping's house, touched his head, and said with a smile: "When I kill someone, the other person will see my face, and he will be afraid of me in his dreams, but he will not kill someone from a distance.
"
"If a person is killed by you, can he still dream? Can't you kill him?" Zhang Wu suddenly asked.
Zhou Ping burst out laughing, and everyone laughed too.
Zhang Fei became anxious and said loudly: "Would he stop dreaming after he died? If you don't believe me, I will try to kill you."
"Okay, okay, stop talking." Zhou Ping said hurriedly, fearing that they would argue, "The pursuers behind us should be arriving soon, let's leave quickly."
Zhang Fei glared at Zhang Wu, but didn't say anything more.
Everyone got on their horses and walked five or six miles forward. Xu Chu dismounted and walked, while Zhou Ping and everyone stayed where they were and waited.
Zhou Ping also sent a person to follow Xu Chu on foot, so that he could report the news when Xu Chu was approaching the interrogation gate. Then Zhang Wu would immediately rush forward first, while Zhang Fei led others to follow.
As for himself, he is protected by his own guards.
Not long after, the soldier in front who was responsible for reporting the news raised his knife above his head. This was a signal that Xu Chu was about to reach the interrogation gate.
"Ziwei, Yide, you go!"
"promise."
Zhang Wu responded, clapped his horse and rushed forward first, followed by Zhang Fei, followed by fifty soldiers.
Xu Chu walked slowly to the interrogation gate and looked at the archers carefully. He counted about fifty of them.
Before he even arrived, he started planning how to kill these archers so that he could kill more quickly and more.
He stopped at the interrogation entrance, looked back, and saw Zhang Wu in the distance patting his horse and galloping towards him.
"What are you doing standing here? Let's go quickly."
A soldier shouted at Xu Chu and drove him away without even asking a question.
Xu Chu stood still and looked back. Zhang Wu clapped his horse and ran closer and closer.
At this time, the soldiers noticed something was wrong with the approaching horse, and someone shouted: "Archers, prepare, stop him."
Because further away, they found dozens of horses running towards them. The people on the horses were all holding weapons. Obviously, these people were the people they wanted to intercept.
Xu Chu suddenly drew his sword, rushed over with a single arrow step, and raised his sword to chop off the archers.
With one strike of the knife, two people were chopped down at once.
Without stopping at all, he swung his sword and slashed at the archer next to him.
All this happened so suddenly that the soldiers were stunned. A military commander standing behind shouted: "Kill him!"
The shouts and the cries of pain from the people who were cut down startled all the archers. They turned around to look, only to find that the tall and thick man was killing their brothers.
They didn't know for a moment whether they should raise their arrows and shoot at the incoming enemy, or whether they should shoot at this rough man.
But they soon knew what they should do, because the men who were rushing towards them were raising arrows to shoot at them, and quickly shot down five people.
At this time, Xu Chu had also cut down twelve archers.
Some of them raised arrows to shoot at Zhang Wu, and some raised arrows to shoot at Xu Chu. However, Xu Chu was surrounded by his own people. They were afraid that their arrows would be inaccurate and would hurt their own people, so they just raised the arrows but did not shoot out.
There was chaos at the interrogation entrance, and the soldiers behind rushed towards Xu Chu with weapons in hand.
Xu Chu ignored them and only went to kill the archer, and in the blink of an eye he cut down six more people.
He was tall and huge, which put a lot of pressure on others, and he slashed so fiercely that the enemy soldiers surrounded him but did not dare to get close.
A few people came closer, but he casually raised his knife and swung it back, injuring three of them. They were so frightened that they immediately took a few steps back.
Zhang Wu clapped his horse forward while shooting. When he was thirty or forty steps away from them, he suddenly stopped. At this time, he had shot down more than a dozen people.
He uses a bow and arrow, so it is not advisable to get too close. It is more advantageous to stand a little further away.
Several arrows flew close to him, and one even scratched his arm.
Zhang Wu did not panic at this time and continued to shoot with arrows.
At this time, Zhang Fei rushed up on his horse, without stopping, he rushed past Zhang Wu and rushed towards the enemy soldiers, followed closely by fifty soldiers.
Xu Chu saw that there were more than a dozen archers, raising arrows to shoot at his brothers who were charging towards them. He hurriedly roared, jumped with all his strength, rushed over, slashed with his sword, and chopped down five or six more people.
At this time, the remaining archers did not dare to shoot anymore. Close combat was not their strong point, so they all fled to the side.
Zhang Fei rushed over with his horse, stretched out his snake spear, and stabbed an enemy soldier who was hiding behind the horse.
The soldiers from behind followed, and some of them jumped off their horses and quickly moved away to stop the horses.
Zhang Fei roared angrily: "I, Zhang Fei, am here, take my life and dream!"
He rode his horse through the inspection gate, rushed into the enemy soldiers, stabbed them with his spear, and suddenly a large number fell down.
Many of the soldiers responsible for the investigation were new recruits and had never been on the battlefield. They were no match for those who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Not to mention Zhang Fei and Xu Chu, even the soldiers brought by Xu Chu could deal with them easily.
Zhang Wu was still standing thirty steps away at this time, raising his arrows and shooting almost one arrow at a time.
Zhou Ping, with a dozen guards, watched from a distance and saw that the enemy soldiers had begun to flee in all directions, so he clapped his horse and ran forward.
By the time he reached the checkpoint, there was not a single living enemy soldier on the road, and they all fled into the wilderness on both sides. Some even dropped their weapons and wanted to run faster.
Zhou Ping saw some soldiers chasing the enemy soldiers and hurriedly shouted: "Stop chasing, let's leave quickly."
Xu Chu then shouted loudly and called back the soldiers who were chasing the enemy soldiers.
"Sir, are you just going to let them run away? I want to kill a few more!"
"Our purpose is not to kill people. We have to rush to Yecheng and leave quickly!"
After everyone tidied up, two people were killed and six were injured, and perhaps two hundred enemy soldiers were killed.
"This may be the last level. We should have no worries from now on."
Zhou Ping believed that it was impossible for Cheng Yu to set up troops to conduct an investigation later, as that would not make much sense.
If he mobilized so many soldiers and horses, they should be gathered here, and they would not be scattered.
Zhou Ping led everyone all the way north, passed Fucheng, and then entered the territory of Jibei Kingdom. As expected, they did not encounter any more enemy soldiers for questioning.
After entering the Kingdom of Jibei, we turned northwest and crossed the Jishui River to Linyi and then to Chiping.
Rested overnight outside Chiping City, crossed the Yellow River, then arrived at Liaocheng in Dongjun, then went north via Boping and entered Ganling in Jizhou.
Now, they finally stepped into the border of Jizhou, and no longer had to worry about Yanzhou's soldiers and horses coming to stop them.
