Chapter 456 Fang Ling
Fangling County belongs to Hanzhong County, Yizhou. It is located in the east of Hanzhong County, adjacent to Xiangyang in Jingzhou. "Historical Records" records the boundary of Fangling: "Thousands of miles across, mountains and forests are surrounded by mountains and forests, and its solid high mausoleum is like a house." Therefore, it is named Fangling. Mausoleum.

Because Fangling is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is dangerous, it is easy to come in and difficult to get out. There is also a saying of "nine droughts in ten years, nine droughts and nine disasters". It can be called poor mountains and bad waters, and the land is barren. .

A team consisting of hundreds of thousands of people meanders along the mountain roads of Fangling. Liu Bei, who is in front of the team, looks at the surrounding mountains and mountains, frowning deeply, not worried.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Jing hated him very much, and he would never let him go to Shu easily, and would definitely send troops to pursue him, so he went all the way in the past few days.

However, Liu Bei still greatly underestimated the road conditions in Fangling. Although the team rushed all the way, they still did not leave the boundary of Fangling for several days.

Liu Bei has been in the army for more than ten years, and he has traveled more than half of the world, and he has seen a lot. In terms of the danger of the terrain, there are few people who can compare with Fangling.

But to go to Bashu, you need to cross the moat-like Daba Mountain on the way. It is said that the terrain of Daba Mountain is far more dangerous than Fangling.This also explains why most of the people traveling from Chu to Shu took the Three Gorges waterway, and the land route was too difficult and dangerous.

However, compared to the difficulty of the journey, Liu Bei was more worried about Liu Jing's pursuit. Fortunately, the team had reached the border between Fangling and Shangyong, and if they went west for more than [-] miles, they would be blocked by water.

With the natural barrier of water blocking, the safety of the team will be greatly increased. When the team enters Bashan, they can completely get rid of the pursuers.

"Ugh...uuuuuuuu..."

A low and desolate sound of the horn suddenly resounded in the valley. Liu Bei's face changed drastically immediately, and he turned his head suddenly. One, Liu Jing's pursuers came after him.

Liu Bei was furious for a while, and whipped the ground violently with his horsewhip. At this time, he was only "one step away" from the water blockage. As long as he crossed the water blockage, he would be able to escape smoothly. However, the enemy came after him at this time. How could he not hate it?
Just when the troops were in turmoil, Guan Yu flew up to Liu Bei and said, "General, Liu Jing's son is newly settled in Xiangyang. People's hearts are not convinced. He needs to guard it with heavy troops. There must not be many pursuers. Why don't I lead the infantry to cut off the rear?" , the general will take the cavalry and escort the family first."

"This……"

Liu Bei is by no means an indecisive person. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed to Guan Yu's suggestion.

Later, Liu Bei not only left more than 260 infantry to Guan Yu, but also allocated [-] cavalry to Guan Yu.You must know that after the battle of Yicheng, Liu Bei lost more than half of the [-] fine cavalry under his command, and now the number is less than [-], so this time he will directly allocate half to Guan Yu.

Before parting, Liu Bei held Guan Yu's hand tightly and said, "Yun Chang, you and I are called monarchs and ministers, but we are actually brothers. We have sworn to help each other in times of trouble, and share life and death together. If the enemy can be stopped, then it should be blocked; if the enemy cannot be stopped , then you must not love to fight, and you should quickly withdraw and leave."

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, and said proudly: "The soldiers in Jingnan are indeed powerful, so why should I be afraid of them? The general just leads his family first, and I will stop all the enemies. Before the general crosses the blocked water, the enemy will never cross." One step past here."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu have been together day and night for more than ten years, knowing that he is just arrogant, not underestimating the enemy, he nodded and said: "Yun Chang, I will wait for you on the west bank of Dushui. If you don't come back, I won't leave."

Guan Yu showed warmth in his eyes, clasped his fists to promise, and then said to Zhang Fei who came and Zhao Yun who was behind Liu Bei: "Yide, Zilong, you protect the general first, wait for the water blockage, collect fuel oil as soon as possible, once you see the enemy Chase him, leave me alone, burn the bridge immediately."

Zhao Yun nodded solemnly, while Zhang Fei said anxiously: "Eldest brother is brave enough to conquer the world, but he will be powerless in the end if he breaks the queen alone. Why don't Ruofei stay and fight the enemy side by side with elder brother?"

"You can't be alone with the general." Guan Yu rejected Zhang Fei's request without thinking, "Yide, after getting through the water blockage, don't take it lightly. Be vigilant against the Shangyong Shen family, lest they take the opportunity to make trouble."

Earlier, according to the guide, Shangyong is currently occupied by brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi. The two were born in the Shen family of the Yonghao family. During the period, thousands of people gathered, secretly communicated with Zhang Lu, and separated one side.

Although Guan Yu looked down on Shen Dan, Shen Yi and other local tycoons, he had to admit that the two had thousands of troops, which was enough to pose a fatal threat to their own side, and they must be guarded against.

Zhang Fei is not a person who doesn't know the importance. Seeing what Guan Yu said, he couldn't stick to his own opinion anymore, so he could only say "Treasure".

Guan Yu watched the convoy leave, then led more than [-] men on foot and retreated to a place that was narrow and suitable for defense.

Guan Yu first sprinkled thistles on the road, and then formed a circular formation of more than [-] trucks and lined them up at the crossing. Each truck was equipped with ten soldiers, and Guan Yu himself placed a hundred horsemen behind the formation.

Guan Yu had just set up a formation here, and Liu Liang, Cai Sheng, and Huang Zhong led thousands of riders to kill them soon.

At that time, Liu Jing wiped out the Jingzhou army led by Kuai Yue under the city of Ling County, and obtained [-] horses, plus more than [-] horses of his own, at one time there were more than [-] horses. his own cavalry.

In the next few years, this cavalry army followed Liu Jing to attack Zhangjin in the south and Liu Biao in the north, making great achievements in battle.However, in successive years of wars, despite Liu Jing's cherishment, more than [-] horses were still dead and sick, and now only a thousand horses are left.

Liu Liang, the commander of the cavalry, was deeply influenced by Liu Jing and loved horses very much. Naturally, he would not foolishly drive the cavalry to attack Guan Yu's chariot formation.

Liu Liang stopped more than a hundred paces away from the chariot formation and ordered his knights to dismount and rest while he observed the enemy formation with Cai Sheng and Huang Zhong and discussed countermeasures.

Huang Zhong took the initiative to invite Ying and said: "Our army arrived suddenly, and the enemy lined up in a hurry. It is hard to say that they are meticulous. Moreover, they are the ones who are defeated and lose their families. They only have the heart of surviving and have no ambition to fight to the death. Give me [-] dares to fight, and the counterweight Jia Damu, abandoning his horse and walking, led the front into the formation, Cai Zhonglang and Liu Duwei led the cavalry to follow up, it was not difficult to break..."

Cai Sheng and Liu Liang couldn't help but looked at each other. Although they were proud of their bravery, they didn't dare to boast that they were better than Huang Zhong. Since the Northern Expedition, in more than a dozen battles, Huang Zhong must be the first to fall into the battle. Everyone admires his bravery, Huang Zhong is indeed the best candidate to break the formation.

Huang Zhong persuaded Cai Sheng and Liu Liang, and without a break, he recruited [-] warriors from the second battalion of knights non-stop, who were held by the armor and marched like a wall, pushing towards the enemy's position more than a hundred paces away.

Seeing Liu Jingjun abandoning his horse and attacking on foot, Guan Yu sighed secretly, but he failed to do what he wanted.

Guan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Liu Jing was chasing only a thousand cavalry before, and his confidence in holding the position was doubled. Moreover, if the enemy despised him and attacked directly by cavalry, he would definitely use the chariot formation to give the opponent a head-on blow. The formation was in chaos, and he led a hundred cavalry to attack, and he might be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

The leader of the army on the opposite side is obviously not a mediocre general. He abandoned his horse and came to attack on foot. Now his hopes have been lost, so he can only bite the bullet and fight to the death.
