Yunmeng Township in Anlu County is bordered by Yunze to the west and Xiashui to the south.
Xia River is a branch of the Yangtze River. It was named after the "Xiazhou" built by the Xia family of Chen State when the King of Chuzhuang immigrated hundreds of years ago. It divides the river from the southeast of Jiangling City and flows eastward, meandering between clouds and dreams.
Eventually it merges into the Han River, so the Han River below the intersection is also called the Summer River.
Although it is adjacent to it, it still takes more than a hundred miles to reach Xiashui from Anlu County. On Heifu's side, although the weakest old people, young children, and disabled people were put on the boat and left directly, the rest
The number of people is incomparable to that of a regular army, with tens of thousands of people pushing large and small vehicles and riding in thousands of vehicles, and countless people carrying backpacks.
From the moment they rose up in Anlu, they became rebels and fugitives. Everyone knew that if they stayed and were captured by the army again, what awaited them might be the punishment of collectively becoming prisoners.
Therefore, almost everyone in Anlu County chose to follow Hei Fu, supporting the old and the young, and taking care of the men and women.
We walked slowly like this, reaching the limit of thirty miles per day. We walked like this for several days before we got close to Xia Shui.
Tens of thousands of people gathered on the north bank. Under the setting sun, the summer water was dyed red by the sun, and the river was full of water.
Today is the seventh day of the third month of the lunar calendar. The boatmen from Lingqu have sent the first batch of Anlu refugees to Shaxian. Now after a round trip, they have been ordered to set up a pontoon bridge at Xiashui Ferry, waiting for the response. Seeing that the pontoon bridge is about to be built,
The exhausted people felt that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But Heifu did not relax. He left many scouts behind the large group of troops to report the situation at all times.
Heifu knew very well that Feng Wuze would not let his side go so easily. The pursuers behind him were chasing him at a speed of fifty miles a day, especially the cavalry forwards who were faster.
"If the enemy suddenly attacks while we are halfway across the Xia River, causing the people to panic and disperse, the Changbanpo defeat may happen hundreds of years in advance..."
Fortunately, although Hei Fu doesn't have anyone like Zhao Zilong at his disposal, he does have "Zhang Fei" who is also full of courage!
…
On the orders of Feng Wuze, the person who pursued Heifu and the people of Anlu was the other Sima Wang Yi (yì).
Wang Yi was in his thirties, a branch of the Wang family. He had served in the northern army for a long time. Later, when Qin Shihuang visited the south, he was transferred to the royal chariot entourage to manage the cavalry troops. Now Heifu suddenly "resurrected" and captured An
Lu, Feng Wuze mobilized his troops to attack in a hurry, and sent Wang Yi as the vanguard.
In Wang Yi's mind, he had some doubts about Feng Wuze's decision.
"Marquis Wu Xin is old. From the beginning, he should have moved to the south of the Yangtze River and stationed himself in Wuchang Camp. If so, the black thieves would have no chance!"
But no wonder Feng Wuze, who would have expected that the treacherous but loyal Heifu would rebel so quickly?
Now that Wuchang has been lost, all 30,000 old soldiers have returned to Heifu, and tens of thousands of hostages in Anlu have also been lost. It would be best if we don't take advantage of the Southern Expeditionary Army to catch up with Heifu's soldiers and severely inflict heavy losses on them before all of the Southern Expeditionary Army rebels.
In this situation, all the counties south of the Yangtze River rebelled. Feng Wuze could not afford this result.
So Wang Yi took three thousand chariots and rode day and night, and finally arrived at the waterside before the Anlu people crossed the Xia River...
There were crowds of people more than ten miles away in the distance. Tens of thousands of people rolled across the river. Under the organization of Heifu and the militia, it was barely orderly. But after all, there were so many people that it would take at least a day to complete the crossing.
Wang Yi secretly rejoiced: "As long as I can attack its rear and disrupt order, I can delay it for a while until General Feng arrives!"
But an army has already stood in front of us...
Heifu's chariots and five hundred riders obtained in Anlu County are here. They are waiting in formation and occupy the narrow road in the middle of the grassland, blocking the way between Wang Yihu and the Anlu people who are crossing the river.
The flag fluttering in the wind has the word "East Gate" written on it.
"East Gate Leopard."
Wang Yi had heard that this was the bravest captain under Marquis Wu Zhong, and was known as the "violent tiger".
"Hundreds versus three thousand? Today we want to see if this violent tiger is a real tiger or a fake..."
What surprised Wang Yi was that before he could finish thinking about it, the opponent, who was significantly smaller in number, took the lead and launched an attack!
There was no formation of troops, no challenge from the enemy, and no customary scout test. The flag was raised directly, and hundreds of chariots and cavalry came swarming in!
This unconventional way of playing cards caught Wang Yi by surprise. Seeing the enemy approaching fiercely, he didn't think much and sent five hundred light cavalry to meet the enemy!
There are many grassy swamps around here, and it is not easy for chariots and cavalry to form an array. They can only fight on a slightly higher road. The two sides face each other head-on, and there is no flanking flank in the northern grassland. They fight and shoot at the same time. The side with the larger number also takes the advantage.
Not cheap.
You can only rely on courage!
Only now did Wang Yi understand why the East Gate Leopard was called the "violent tiger"!
Looking from a distance, a tall general wearing thick armor was standing on a military chariot in the lead, holding a long halberd modified from the "Yi Spear" in his hand.
The handle of the Yi spear is 2 feet and 4 feet long. It is the longest weapon among the five soldiers and requires two people to hold it.
But now that the spear point is replaced and the halberd head is installed, the nearly five-meter heavy long soldier is like a light branch in the hands of Dongmen Leopard. He holds it in both hands and dances in circles. The one-foot short spear of Qin Jun Qingqi is not at all
Unable to get close, he was stabbed or hit by the East Gate Leopard's halberd, causing him to fall off his horse.
The Qingqi facing the enemy had a bad start in the battle, but Dongmen Leopard had already led his men into it!
Wang Yi quickly ordered his Qingqi to withdraw, dismount and shoot, and then moved his chariot forward to block it!
Under Wang Yi's command, the five hundred chariots and soldiers were no less tall and majestic than Dongmen Leopards. They also held barbarian spears and aimed with wide eyes!
Fuck Wu Gexi, he was caught in a rhinoceros armor, and his chariot was in the wrong position. Unless he was very lucky and killed the opponent's charioteer with one arrow, the battle between the chariots would always be in the wrong moment!
When the two cars approached and were several feet apart, the five hundred masters could already see clearly the appearance of the East Gate Leopard. He had frightening red spots on his face, his eyes were as wide as cowbells, his beard and hair were flaring, and his roar was like thunder!
This moment of looking at each other actually made the Five Hundred Masters feel a little timid. After a slight hesitation, he gave up his plan to confront the Dongmen Leopard, and instead aimed his spear at the charioteer in front of the Dongmen Leopard!
He hoped to stab the charioteer to death and cause the enemy chariot to lose control.
However, Dongmen Leopard was not only brave and powerful, he was also highly skilled in the skills of the five soldiers. He immediately noticed the intention of the Five Hundred Lords. He swung his halberd and deflected the Five Hundred Lords' Yi spear, causing him to lose the kill.
When the charioteer had the chance, he immediately raised his halberd. At the moment of misalignment, the iron thorn stabbed into Lord Five Hundred's face without any resistance, and with the help of the horse's speed, it penetrated the entire skull, staining it.
The bloody halberd tip came out from the back of his head!
But before the five hundred masters died, their spears were inserted into the necks of the stallions of Dongmen Leopard Chariot...
The remaining formations are still walking, and the left side is injured and the right blade is wounded!
The movement of the four horses was intertwined with each other. One horse was injured and fell down, and the other three horses were also out of condition, and the whole vehicle collapsed!
But Dongmen Leopard only rolled over on the ground, abandoned his long halberd, pulled out two heavy short iron halberds from his back, and continued to fight. The soldiers behind him were either shooting crossbows or drawing blades.
The captain of the East Gate took cover.
Inspired by the captain, everyone followed the Dongmen Leopard. Those who had horses on horseback, and those whose mounts were dead or injured lost their horses and were on foot. They all fought bravely to get ahead, feeling ashamed of being left behind. The enemy's spears and bows and arrows reached their bodies, but they showed no fear.
Two wheels of haze are coming to feed four horses, and the jade canopy is beating the drums!
These hundreds of people were marching forward at the narrow road intersection, holding flags, especially the Dongmen Leopard, among the galloping carriages and horses. The battle was like a wild dance, stabbing or hacking, chopping or smashing, shouting and shouting.
, the enemy in front of you is almost unable to defeat him.
They marched and fought, marching straight in, leaving corpses and mutilated limbs everywhere along the way, and their own robes were full of blood. However, in the blink of an eye, they were only a hundred steps away from Wang Yi!
Wang Yi no longer dared to look down upon him, and showed admiration: "Today we know how brave the tiger at the east gate is!"
At this moment, a loud shout of death rang out between the grasslands on both sides. A group of Anlu militiamen stepped on the soft ground and rushed out with weapons in hand...
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Wang Yi had been sending scouts to explore the previous road to prevent the enemy from setting up an ambush, but he had not had time to check the grasslands on the left and right here.
He originally sent only 500 chariots and cavalry to test the Dongmen Leopard, but he cautiously stayed behind. Seeing that the Dongmen Leopard was as brave as any man, and there seemed to be an ambush on both sides, he lost the courage to continue fighting, and called the gold medal.
After withdrawing their troops, a group of chariots and cavalry turned their horses, leaving behind the corpses of six to seven hundred men and horses, and left in a hurry...
…
Two hours later, when Feng Wuze and his troops arrived at the Xia River with tens of thousands of troops, tens of thousands of Anlu people had crossed over safely. The pontoon bridge formed by the Lingqu boat division had also been demolished, and the people who could not walk with them were
Thousands of people entered Yunmengze and headed south, leaving only a shadow of a sail.
Heifu on the other side had not left yet. He led 10,000 militiamen to meet the Dongmen Leopards who had broken off. Seeing the banner of "Wu Xinhou" appear on the other side, everyone gathered their strength and shouted a few words at the enemy.
talk:
"Thank you very much to Marquis Wu Xin for showing mercy and reining in the troops without pursuing him. Your Majesty Feng Jing, Heifu will follow what is said in the letter and will be released later without any harm!"
"General, support your troops and respect yourself. I will lead the soldiers of the southern army to come. You and I will take the south and the north of the Yangtze River. Then we will follow the emperor's last edict and send our troops northward. Jingguo will be in trouble. We have the Feng family as the internal response. We will take Xianyang and punish the rebellious sons and treacherous ministers. It will be as easy as turning the palm of the hand."
, when the time comes, we will support the virtuous young master as the new emperor!"
Listening to the shouts from the opposite side, the supervisors and soldiers all looked surprised.
But Feng Wuze's face turned green and white for a while, and finally he became so angry that he vomited blood on the side of the car!
"Heifu, Zhuzi! You are indeed the star of chaos in the world!"
