Chapter 69 Flying to Fucheng

Of course, Lu Bu also discovered Zhuge Liang's arrival. At this time, the infantry of Lu Bu's army was escorting the prisoners back to Jiange. There were only cavalry beside Lu Bu, and he immediately ordered the cavalry to attack the entire line. Four thousand iron cavalry rushed towards Zhuge Liang's seven thousand Shu army like thunder.

Zhuge Liang saw the fierce enemy from afar and did not dare to take it. He ordered the formation of a withdrawal team, and the divisions covered each other and retreated to Fucheng in an orderly manner. This withdrawal team was effective for pursuing infantry and might also have effect on ordinary cavalry of the same era, but it would have no effect on cavalry like Keizima and Tiefutu, which exceeded the previous years.

A few rounds of arrows from the crooked horse and a few rounds of fierce attacks from Tiefutu made the Shu army fall into pieces and lose its soul. Even if Zhuge Liang is as magical as Zhuge Liang in Luo Guanzhong's writing, he is still powerless to turn the world. The Shu army was immediately defeated, and the remaining soldiers fled in scattered, and the cavalry of the Lu Bu army continued to chase and fight. Zhuge Liang rode his horse towards Fucheng under the protection of dozens of personal soldiers to death.

Lu Bu was inclined to the military situation. Seeing such an opportunity, he was not willing to let go. He made a quick decision and chased Zhuge Liang to Fucheng and took down Fucheng in one go. The rhythmic sound of horns resounded all over the world. This was a gathering call, and the cavalry of the Lu army who were chasing the defeated Shu army everywhere responded to the horse.

Lu Bu led all the cavalry to pursue Zhuge Liang south. Cheng Xu, beside Lu Bu, said: "Lord, my subordinates heard that Zhuge Liang used his troops in a strange way. Should we beware of him being ambushed us? The military strategy is full of traits, so don't chase the enemy."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "If he wanted an ambush, he would never dare to use Zhang Fei as bait, nor would he use nearly 10,000 soldiers of Shu army as bait. We killed and defeated at least 10,000 infantry and cavalry in the opponent in the first and last two battles. This number accounted for about 10,000 of the Shu army's forces. Besides, how did he know that I would pursue him? I did make this decision just by making a temporary decision. A wise man would never use tens of thousands of soldiers and a sworn brother to bet on a low probability event."

After hearing Lu Bu's interpretation, Cheng Xu nodded in admiration. Four thousand iron cavalry rushed towards Fucheng like a torrent. Zhuge Liang had just entered Fucheng, and the city gate had just closed, and the four thousand tiger cavalry had already arrived at the city. At this time, there were only more than a thousand defenders in Fucheng.

Zhuge Liang, who had just entered the city, climbed to the top of the city. At this time, the sun was about to set, and a ray of setting sun reflected the red color of the city tower at the top of the city. Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Bujun under the city and breathed a sigh of relief. The other party had only cavalry. It seemed that the other party just wanted to chase him and did not want to seize Fucheng. But he was wrong.

After the sun set, Lu Bu's army showed no sign of retreating. Fucheng disappeared into the dark world, and hazy clouds accumulated in the sky, without stars and without moons. At this time, the four thousand cavalry had already undergone a short rest and ate the "energy block" dry food she carried with her.

Four thousand iron cavalrymen all took the horse's back. Zhuge Liang looked at the dark figure and thought they were about to withdraw their troops. Unexpectedly, rows of arrows shot towards the top of the city, the personal soldiers hurriedly pushed their shields to protect Zhuge Liang. Ordinary soldiers were not so lucky. Many people fell down on the city tower after being shot, and torches fell beside them.

Lu Bu waved his hand in the air, and after a horn sound, the eight hundred iron Buddhas began to charge, and Zhuge Liang wondered, [Would they be rushing to the city wall?]. When these iron Buddhas were still twenty meters away from the city wall, they threw out their things. The sky was dark, and the Shu soldiers who were dodging flying arrows on the top of the city could not see clearly what they were.

These things are actually flying claws, which firmly clamp the edge of the battlement. Then these heavy cavalry jumped up with the speed of horses, pulled ropes with hands, stepped on the walls of the city, and quickly climbed up to the top of the city. Their horses slowed down, turned around the direction the moment they hit the wall, and ran backwards.

In the eyes of the people on the city, these people rushed up like mice, and were already frightened. Zhuge Liang's personal soldiers had already carried him back to the city. "They climbed up with ropes and chopped their ropes. "The few people finally woke up, but it was too late. At this time, more than a dozen Tiefutus had already climbed onto the city. These Tiefutus without horses were already full armored infantry. They waved the horse-killing steel sword and fought with the Shu army at the city.

This kind of battle is one-sided. In the eyes of Shu army infantry, these armored soldiers who were covered with heavy armor and holding large steel swords existed like gods. They were invulnerable to swords and guns. The steel swords more than one meter long in their hands could cut a person into two pieces in half with one knife. What's more, more and more Tiefutus climbed to the top of the city.

On the city wall, the Tiefutu of Lu Bu's army had both quality and quantity advantages. In a moment, the defenders at the top of the city were defeated, and some Tiefututus were killed into the city. After a while, the city gate was opened, and the crutches on standby outside the city rushed into Fucheng like a torrent.

At the same time, the south gate of Fucheng was also opened, but there was no Lü Bu's Iron Cavalry on this side. Lu Bu wanted to quickly take down Fucheng, so he did not divide his troops to attack the four gates. This was done to avoid giving Zhuge Liang time to arrange the defense or set up traps in Fucheng. Zhuge Liang ran out of the South Gate under the escort of his personal soldiers and generals.

In just half an hour, Lu Bu's four thousand cavalry had already controlled the entire city of Fucheng. After he learned that Zhuge Liang had escaped, he did not order to pursue him. At this time, the four thousand cavalry were already very tired after fighting for a day, so he ordered them to rest in Fucheng.

Zhuge Liang, who was fleeing south, saw no one chasing him, and ordered everyone to slow down and asked left and right: "Where are we moving in?"

"Report to the military advisor that we are on the way back to Chengdu."

"Save a few people to Chengdu to report the message, and the rest follow me to go east to meet Zhao Yun's tribe. I am worried that Zhao Yun's tribe will encounter such an opportunity as ours. So we must remind him." Zhuge Liang ordered coldly, and everyone had to promise and escort him to the east.

Three days later, Zhuge Liang finally arrived in Chongguo County, where Dongdaying was located. What comforted Zhuge Liang was that Zhao Yun had no mistakes. He is now stationing troops in Chongguo County, and is building siege equipment day and night to prepare to lift the siege of Dongdaying.

However, Lu Bu did not give them time. Almost at the same time when Zhuge Liang arrived in Chongguo County, after the subsequent Lu Bu infantry entered Fucheng, the 4,000 cavalry, who had been resting for three days, began to detour eastward. At the same time, more than a hundred Viking long ships carried two thousand Lu Bu infantry down the Jialing River, set up camps on the Jialing River southeast of Chongguo County, and built camps, thus cutting off the supply line of Zhao Yun's army in the southeast direction.

Zhuge Liang, who received the scout's report, said helplessly to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, we need to retreat. Now there is a danger of being cut off from the supply and being encircled by the other party."

"Then Wei Yan won't save him?" Zhao Yun asked in confusion.
