Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 489 Battle of Puyang ([-])

After Liu Bei decided to pursue the Han army.

He gathered [-] soldiers, took Xu Huang with him, opened the city gate, and chased after the Han army retreated. Most of the soldiers and horses were left in the city, and Shenpei and Han Fu were stationed.

Out of the city.

Liu Bei didn't stop there either.

Leading [-] soldiers and horses, they pursued along the road all the way.

of course.

Liu Bei was also afraid that something was wrong, so he also sent ten scouts, riding fast horses, to inquire ahead first, and to check if there was anything wrong.

After all, be careful with the ten-thousand-year ship.

Now is the time when he has the advantage, and he doesn't want to make any mistakes.

And the Han army also withdrew for a while, and it was not easy to catch up quickly if they wanted to.

It is getting farther and farther away from Puyang.

Chased for a while.

Liu Bei still followed the ruts left by the Han army with [-] soldiers, and did not give up, and he also felt that the distance should not be far, after all, he was marching at full speed.

Step, step, step.
Sudden.

There was a rush of hoofbeats at the turn ahead.

From time to time, I saw a rider coming out of the turning and heading straight for them, which was the scout sent out.

See here.

Liu Bei didn't let the soldiers stop and continued to march forward, but he led Xu Huang to the side on horseback and waited, also wanting to know the situation ahead.

woo~~
The spy came in front of Liu Bei, grabbed the horse, clasped his hands on the horse's back and said: "Paper, the enemy army was found three miles ahead, there are about 3 horses, [-] soldiers are guarding, and [-] soldiers are pulling the carriage and escorting them." Grain supplies are waiting!"

"Who is the leader, and are there any other traces of the enemy nearby?" Liu Bei asked.

"Returning to my lord, because I dare not get too close, my subordinates don't know who the leader is, but they don't have the banner of a general of the Han army, and the leader of the subordinates is not like a general of the Han army. side, and no other traces of the enemy have been found!" The spy replied truthfully.

"Haha, God is helping me. Does the King of Han think that our army dare not pursue!" Liu Bei laughed and said, "Continue to monitor, and the army will follow!"

"promise!"

The scout didn't say much. After bowing his hands and saluting, he turned his horse's head and left quickly.

Wait for the scout to leave.

"Let the soldiers speed up and catch up quickly. We must stop the Han army before night falls!" Liu Bei said to Xu Huang.

The Han army only withdrew in the evening, and now the sky is slowly darkening. Once the sky is completely dark, there will be a lot of inconvenience.

Now it is clear that the Han army is indeed preparing to evacuate, and there is no need to continue to hide, just catch up and stop it.

"promise!"

Xu Huang also cupped his hands.

immediately.

The marching pace accelerated a bit, and quickly chased after the Han army three miles ahead.

Gradually narrow the distance.

slowly.

When night is about to fall completely.

Liu Bei also led the army to catch up with the [-] Han troops who were escorting food and grass.

Just as in the report, there was nothing wrong with it. There were only 3 people, and most of them were pulling carriages. Only a small number were armed and guarded on both sides of the long convoy.

The surrounding area also seemed very empty, not suitable for ambushes, and there were no traces of the rest of the Han army.

"kill!"

Liu Bei didn't say much either, he shouted loudly, and holding a double-pronged sword in his hand, he led the army to cover and kill them. They had already met, and there was no need for any words.

But Xu Huang on the side frowned.

He felt a little bit of uneasiness in his heart. Facing a food transportation force with only 3 people, such emotions should not appear.

But for some reason, the uneasiness in his heart was lingering.

And he also noticed that when the army arrived, although the Han army had a flustered and flustered expression on their faces, they were still fleeing forward, ignoring the carriages loaded with grain and supplies.

But the look in the eyes is very different from the expression on the face.

The most important thing is that this Han army did not flee around, but fled forward in a unified manner, as if they were converging.

Just when he wanted to remind.

But seeing that Liu Bei was already holding the double-strand sword in his hand, he rushed out at the head of the horse.

Helpless, he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, and with a huge ax in his hand, he rushed out on his horse.

And he also noticed that the surrounding area was not a good place to ambush, and there were no ambushes, he could see it at a glance, and thought to himself, maybe he was worrying too much.

however.

Liu Bei didn't have so many thoughts.

Seeing the Han army fleeing in panic, he became more determined, and led the army to cover up and kill them. He also noticed that the things loaded on the carriage were real grain and grass.

It is even more convinced that this is not a conspiracy.

Just when the two armies were about to come into contact.

"kill!"

Sudden.

A loud shout came from among the fleeing Han army.

Seeing the fleeing Han army, they turned around and killed one after another, and the Han army, who had no weapons, ran to the front of the carriage, and pulled out many long knives from the carriage loaded with grain and grass supplies.

"Ma Chao from Xiliang is here, Liu Bei is dead!"

"Pang De from Xiliang is here, and Liu Bei is dead!"

Immediately afterwards, two shouts rang out.

He saw more than a hundred cavalry in front of him, and two of them rushed towards Liu Bei.

It turned out that it wasn't that there was no general, but that Ma Chao and Pang De, disguised as soldiers, mixed among the hundreds of horses, and they couldn't find it unless they got close.

Moreover, the Han army fled to the front, not because they wanted to escape, but the carriages with weapons were all in front, and the carriages behind did not have weapons.

It's all a conspiracy.

A conspiracy against Liu Bei.

"Lord be careful!"

Xu Huang also noticed Ma Chao and Pound, and was shocked, but Liu Bei rushed out first, keeping a distance from him.

Now he also knows where the previous anxiety came from, and he didn't think too much about it.

No need for Xu Huang to remind.

Liu Bei had already noticed the changes in the Han army.

Seeing Ma Chao and Pang De rushing out of the hundreds of horsemen of the Han army, they were also shocked. They dared to continue to charge forward, grabbed the horses, turned around and left.

He is very aware of his abilities, if he is really entangled by Ma Chao and Pound, he will have no way out at all.

Liu Bei left.

But it also affected the soldiers of the Qi army who were charging, and they were all a little stunned.

But the Han army doesn't care so much.

The soldiers of the Han army who took up their weapons turned back and rushed into the camp of the Qi army.

And Ma Chao and Pang De, with one shot and one knife, directly killed a bloody road, and went straight to Liu Bei, intending to take Liu Bei's life, after all, this is a rare opportunity.

The Qi army was a little tired after chasing all the way, but the Han army hurried all the way, waiting for work at leisure.

In addition, Liu Bei turned around and turned back directly, which also affected the morale of the Qi army.

Fight up.

The morale of the soldiers of the Han army was high.

The Qi army had many soldiers, but they could not suppress the Han army.
