Chapter 729
Haha, these white-robed cavalrymen are naturally not sudden monsters. They are actually elite soldiers trained by Zhao Yun, called dragon cavalry, with only two thousand people. They are elite soldiers selected from the Wind Legion and trained by Zhao Yun himself. Their symbol is silver spear white horses. Once an attack is launched, they will sweep across the battlefield like a white whirlwind. They generally do not attack the enemy from the front, and often launch the deadliest raids and locations when the opponent is most surprised.
The defense line of Bai'er soldiers collapsed, and the cavalry troops immediately rushed out. Liu Bei was panicked, while Zhang Fei and Zhang Ren led their troops to fight bravely. The army on both sides fought in a melee, and Liu Bei's army showed admirable fighting spirit! However, at this moment, Liu Bei's army could not resist the rushing of the Qin army's cavalry like a strong wind and waves. The flesh and blood were flying everywhere at the scene, and Liu Bei's officers and soldiers fell in a pool of blood! In a short while, the entire Liu Bei's army was unable to resist the Qin army's war cavalry.
The great power of the world was completely destroyed! The army was divided into pieces, most of the troops fled in scattered, and some of the extra-brained officers and soldiers were still fighting to the death, but they kept falling under the rolling iron hooves of the Qin army! These brave officers and soldiers were admirable, but they could not defeat the Qin army's combat cavalry at all! Of course, their sacrifice was not useless. They finally delayed the Qin army and created opportunities for others to escape!
Liu Bei ran westward with the support of the defeated generals, and was frightened along the way. The war cavalry led by Zhao Yun chased him relentlessly. A day later, Liu Bei escaped Mount Li. Then Zhao Yun followed him.
Just as Zhao Yun led the war cavalry past the northern foot of Mount Li, a huge sound of war drums suddenly came from the direction of Mount Li, followed by countless sharp arrows flying down from the mountain. The Qin army was caught off guard and was shot overturned by horses. The Qin army reacted very quickly and immediately turned around and rained arrows in the direction of the arrows. A burst of screams suddenly came from the woods on the mountain. Then, the tide of wars surged from the south, north and west, and tens of thousands of Liu Bei troops surrounded the Qin army as if they were drilling out of the underground.
Zhao Yun and his soldiers were not afraid at all. Zhao Yun looked up Mount Li and saw a large flag leading a team of people and horses in sight. The word "Zhuge" embroidered on the flag, and the scholar riding a white horse feather fan under the flag was Zhuge Liang, the most important military advisor around Liu Bei.
Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "General Zilong, don't be fine!" Zhao Yun smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhuge. Mr. Zhuge is really a god!" Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Shame and ashamed!" Then he asked, "Zilong, what are your plans for such a situation now?" Zhao Yun proudly glanced at the Liu Bei army officers and soldiers who surrounded him on three sides, and said lightly: "Although twice as much as our army, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of our Qin army!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Zilong is a great tiger general, and he is indeed very heroic! We will both suffer heavy casualties after this battle! I don't think this is what Zilong wants to see! Today, Zilong and I will only reminisce about the past. In the future, we will fight to the death of life and death under Chang'an City! I wonder what Zilong wants to do?" Zhao Yun wanted to focus on his relationship, but when Zhuge Liang said this, he couldn't have the idea of fighting. He clasped his fists at Zhuge Liang and said, "Just as the teacher said." He paused and said, "Mr. Zhuge, I have a heartfelt word. I wonder if you want to listen?" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Zilong and I are old friends. If you have something to say, it's okay!"
Zhao Yun said: "Forgive me. Although Liu Bei is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, his actions are simply villain's actions! Sir, don't be displeased. This is not because I am talking bad things behind my back, but what I have seen on my own eyes along the way!" Then he said with anger: "Our army has come all the way west, and what we see is really angering! It's fine if Liu Bei wants to move the people away, why kill the people who refuse to leave! Is this what he calls benevolence, righteousness and morality?"
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly, couldn't help but sigh, and said slowly: "Maybe, maybe this is a mistake made by Zhang Ren and has nothing to do with the lord." Zhao Yun said: "Whether this is the case, I know it, and I can't say much." After a pause, "Sir, you are a talented person. You are really a traitor for Liu Bei. I am afraid that this life will be buried! My lord is a great talent, loves the people, and his martial arts are not much to say. But before, the people of Luoyang in Xuchang and Luoyang fought with foreign races in a bloody battle, this is the real lord of the world! Why don't you abandon the lord of the Ming and I assist the lord together, so that you can live up to the lord like this great man!" Zhuge Liang frowned and said nothing.
Zhao Yun continued: "Mr.'s brother has long been a great minister whom the lord relied heavily on, and both sisters have married the lord and become the lord's wife. In fact, the lord and the lord are in-laws and have an extraordinary relationship. Why bother to make the relatives feel sad and the enemy happy for an outsider who is not worthy of serving!"
Zhuge Liang's eyes were a little confused. Then he calmed down and clasped his fists at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong's good words, Kong Ming was grateful. However, I have already vowed to be loyal to my lord. How can a real man break his promise? Zilong should not say anything more!" Seeing that he finally refused, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh regretfully. He clasped his fists and said, "Since sir, I will not say much. Sir, let's part here. The day when we meet again tomorrow is a time to fight for life and death!" Then he turned his horse and led the horse back to the lower battle cavalry to retreat eastward.
Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Yun's departure back and frowned slightly, unable to help but sigh. Ma Su next to him glanced at Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help but clasped his fists and asked, "Sir, why don't you order an attack?"
Zhuge Liang withdrew his thoughts, shook his head, and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't! The Qin army has the best combat power in the world. Although our army has the advantage, it is not sufficiently prepared in a hurry. Once the war begins, the outcome is unpredictable. Whether it is victory or defeat, these 70,000 troops will suffer heavy casualties! Now that Lu Bu's main force is about to be at the city, if he loses such a great force here, how will the next battle for Chang'an be fought?"
Ma Su nodded and said, "What Mr. said is very true." Then he frowned and said worriedly: "But if the lord knew about this, I wouldn't think so! Just as Zhao Yun said, Mr. and Lu Bu are close-knit marriages after all, and it is hard to guarantee that the lord would not suspect that Mr. Lu Bu secretly communicated with me! At that time,..."
Zhuge Liang raised his right hand and signaled Ma Su not to continue talking. He said firmly: "I believe that the lord is not the kind of narrow-minded person!" Then he ordered: "Tell the army to return to the city immediately!" Ma Su asked in confusion: "Don't a army outside the city form a horn with the city?" Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "That tactic will not be of any use to deal with the Qin army at this time!"
Liu Bei and others fled back to Chang'an, and they were shocked. Mi Fang hurried over and clasped their fists to Liu Bei and said, "Report to the lord, Zhao Yun has retreated." Liu Bei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sighed: "Thanks to Kong Ming! If he hadn't set up an ambush outside the city in time, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Mi Fang hurriedly said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this matter!" Liu Bei felt inexplicably, looked at Mi Fang and asked, "What do you mean by saying this?"
Mi Fang clasped his fists and said, "The lord doesn't know. Although the military advisor successfully surrounded Zhao Yun, he did not attack Zhao Yun..." Liu Bei was puzzled and frowned and said, "What's going on?" Mi Fang said, "I heard that the military advisor had recounted the old story with Zhao Yun on the battlefield, so Zhao Yun also persuaded the military advisor to join Lu Bu, saying that the military advisor and Lu Bu were in-laws, and there was no reason why the military advisor and Lu Bu were not married to their relatives but helped outsiders instead..." Liu Bei was shocked and asked quickly, "What did Kong Ming say?" Mi Fang said, "Although the military advisor refused, he let Zhao Yun go."
Liu Bei paced back and forth in the hall, frowned slightly, and looked thoughtful.
Mi Fang couldn't help but say, "My lord, this matter must be guarded against! Although Zhao Yun is not a good person, his words are good! Zhuge Jin, the eldest brother of the military advisor, is now an important official under Lu Bu, managing the Jingnan area for Lu Bu. His two sisters have both become Lu Bu's wives. He heard that they are particularly favored. Not only are they favored by Lu Bu in the harem, but they also become the chief officials of two important places in Xuchang and Xuzhou. The Zhuge family can be said to be of high power and powerful in Lu Bu's presence! In this case, it is really hard to guarantee that the military advisor will not have a strange ambition!" Mi Fang's words hit Liu Bei's thoughts, and Liu Bei frowned and did not say anything.
Zhang Fei, who was standing next to him, shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! I absolutely believe in the military advisor!" Then he said to Liu Bei: "Brother, although I don't like the military advisor, I absolutely believe in the loyalty of the military advisor to the elder brother! The military advisor followed the elder brother in times of hardships and went through hardships! If it weren't for the military advisor, we wouldn't have a foothold! The military advisor's loyalty to the elder brother is as strong as iron stone. Brother must not listen to the nonsense of this villain!" When he said this last sentence, Zhang Fei pointed at Mi Fang angrily. Mi Fang shrank his neck and dared not say anything else.
Liu Bei patted Zhang Fei's arm and smiled and said, "Don't be angry! Mi Fang is just expressing his worries, and it's no wonder he is!" After a pause, "As for Kong Ming,..." Then he said firmly: "Just as Yide said, I absolutely believe it! Although Kong Ming and I are kings and ministers, they are actually brothers and brothers! How can I not believe in my own brothers and sisters!" Zhang Fei's face looked a little better and said, "Brother is right to say this!" Liu Bei turned his head to Mi Fang and said, "Mi Fang, don't say anything like this in the future! Don't be as good as a military advisor!" Mi Fang hurriedly clasped his fists to agree.
Liu Bei said to everyone: "Okay. There is nothing wrong here, you all go down. Mi Fang stay." Everyone clasped their fists and agreed, Mi Fang stayed, and the others left the hall.
Liu Bei walked towards Mi Fang. Mi Fang thought that the lord wanted to teach him a lesson, and he felt quite uneasy.
