Qin Official

Yunmeng Township in Anlu County borders Yunze to the west and Xia Shui to the south.

Xia River is a branch of the Yangtze River. It is 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 ship and left directly, the rest could not compare with the regular army. There were tens of thousands of people pushing large and small cars in thousands of vehicles, and those carrying backpacks were not included. Its number.

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 young, and taking care of men and women.

Just walking slowly like this, walking thirty miles per day was already the limit. I walked like this for several days before approaching 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 boat master from Lingqu has sent the first batch of Anlu refugees to Shaxian. After a round trip, they have been ordered to set up a pontoon bridge at the Xiashui Ferry and are waiting for their arrival. Seeing that the pontoon bridge was 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 him go so easily. The pursuers behind him were chasing him at a speed of fifty miles a day, especially the forward cavalry 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!

…

Following Feng Wuze's orders, it was Wang Yi (yì), Sima of another department, who pursued Heifu and the people of Anlu.

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 chariot and cavalry troops. Now Heifu suddenly resurrected and captured An'an. Lu, Feng Wuze dispatched troops and generals 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 do not take advantage of the Southern Expeditionary Army to catch up with Heifu's soldiers and inflict heavy losses on them before all of the Southern Expeditionary Army rebels. The situation is also that all the counties south of the Yangtze River are rebelling. Feng Wuze cannot 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 rolling 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 the order, I can delay it for a while until General Feng arrives!

But an army has already stood in front of us...

The five hundred chariots and horses that Heifu had acquired in Anlu County were here. They were waiting in formation, occupying the narrow road in the middle of the grassland, blocking Wang Yihu and the Anlu people who were 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 most courageous captain under Marquis Wu Zhong, 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 and hundreds of cavalry came swarming in!

This unconventional way of playing cards caught Wang Yi off guard. Seeing that the enemy was approaching fiercely, he didn't think much and sent five hundred light cavalry to meet the enemy!

There is a lot of grass and 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 are facing each other head-on. There is no flanking flank in the northern grassland. They can fight and shoot at the same time. The side with more people also takes advantage of Not cheap.

You can only rely on courage!

Only now did Wang Yi understand why the East Gate Leopard was called a violent tiger!

Looking from a distance, there was a tall warrior wearing thick armor, standing on a military vehicle in the lead, holding a 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-long heavy spear is like a light branch in the hands of Dongmen Leopard. He holds it with both hands and dances in circles. The one-foot short spear of Qin Jun Qingqi is basically 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 the Qingqi to withdraw, dismount and shoot, and then moved the 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!

Wu Gexi was beaten by a rhinoceros, his car was in the wrong position, and he was caught in close combat! Unless you are extremely lucky and kill the opponent's charioteer with one arrow, the battle between chariots will always happen at the wrong moment!

When the two cars approached and were several feet apart, the five hundred masters could already clearly see 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 Lords feel a little timid. After a slight hesitation, he gave up his plan to confront Dongmen Leopard, and instead aimed his spear at the charioteer in front of 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 also had perfected 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 opportunity, he immediately raised his halberd. At the wrong moment, 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 tip of the bloody halberd came out from the back of his head!

But before the five hundred masters died, their spears were inserted into the necks of Dongmen Leopard Chariot's horses...

The formation is still standing, and the left side is 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 behind, and continued to fight. The soldiers behind him were either shooting crossbows or drawing blades to fight for the battle. The captain of the East Gate took cover.

Encouraged 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 falling behind. They were not afraid of the enemy's spears and arrows.

Two wheels of haze are coming to feed four horses, and jade trees are coming to aid and the drums are beating!

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, chopping, slashing or smashing, shouting and shouting. , the enemy in front of you is almost impossible to defeat.

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 East Gate Tiger is!

At this moment, a loud shout of death rang out from the grassland 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 brave enough and there seemed to be ambushes on both sides, he lost the courage to continue fighting, and Ming Jin 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, Hei Fu 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 each take the south and 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 is 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.

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!
