Chapter 787

Step on it!

The Chinese army was surrounded by Zhang jaw and galloped forward. The outline of a city soon appeared in front of more than ten thousand troops. The flag on it had been taken away for a long time, and the city gates were open on all sides. However, the Liangzhou army around the city looked at the city gate from time to time, but did not dare to enter. The scene was quite funny.

"Zhennan general is coming, Zhennan general is coming!"

A burst of shouts broke out among the crowd, and more than ten thousand soldiers separated a road from it, as if the waves were splitting. Hundreds of riders were surrounded by a member of a well-dressed and powerful general, Zhang jaw.

Zhang jaw looked at Pingdu City from top to bottom. He saw that there was no one in the street above the city gate, and there was no sound in the city. It was like a ghost city. He could not help frowning.

Thinking for a while, Zhang jaw ordered: "Huang Sima leads the soldiers to check. Once they meet the enemy, they will hang them immediately. Do you understand?"

A yellow surnamed Sima agreed to come down and rushed into the city with more than a thousand army horses. The Liangzhou army who entered the city was worried about the ambush of Yizhou army, so they were very careful. However, after entering the city from the gate of the city, they searched around and found no one.

Sima, surnamed Huang, frowned and simply ordered: "knock on the door. If the Yizhou army in the city withdraws, the people close to the city gate must have noticed. Ask them."

Two Liangzhou soldiers nodded and went forward, reaching out and pounding on the wooden door.

"Open the door, open the door!"

The people inside the door panicked and said, "what are you doing?"

"We are Wang Shifu. If you have any questions, come out and answer."

The wooden door could not withstand their two knocks. The people in the house had no choice but to move the top door timber and carefully poked out a head: "I don't know what the two military masters want to ask?"

Sima, surnamed Huang, urged his horse to come forward and tried to squeeze out a kind smile. He was a native of Liangzhou. His appearance was coarse. His smile was more ugly than crying, which made the old man's face pale.

"Don't worry, old man. We are masters of the imperial court, and we are safe with the people."

Huang Sima went straight to the theme: "why is the gate of Pingdu so open? Where have all the soldiers and horses gone?"

"It turns out that the general asked about it."

The old man cautiously said, "the soldiers and horses in the city were still there yesterday. The old man heard some noise last night, and he didn't know what was going on. The soldiers and horses in the city left."

"So it is..."

Huang Sima nodded and threw some five baht money to the old man. Naturally, he didn't dare to ask for it, but Huang Sima thrust it into his hand and held it tightly.

"As I said, we are masters of the king. Now that we take over the capital of Pingdu, the common people have only good and no harm. The old man takes money."

After that, Huang Sima led the army out of the city and reported the matter to Zhang jaw truthfully.

"The soldiers and horses in Pingdu City have been withdrawn long ago?"

Thinking deeply, Zhang moved into Pingdu City that night, and sent people to inquire about the situation of Fuling City to the south of Pingdu City the next day.

Wu Bing is the commander of cavalry in Zhangxi army. Because the road to Sichuan is difficult and dangerous, the number of cavalry brought by Liu Ye is not large. However, the number of cavalry in Zhang jaw's army is only a few hundred. However, those who can be selected to enter Sichuan are all elite cavalry in Liangzhou, and Wu Bing is no exception.

He was ordered by Zhang jaw to come to Fuling City to explore the real situation.

"Drive!"

Wu Bing, with two Xiliang cavalry, marched along the official road. His eyesight was very good. After running for a while, he could only see eight horses galloping towards him. He was wearing green armor. He was a Bashu soldier.

"Commander Wu, there seems to be a lot of people in the opposite side. Otherwise, we'll take refuge for the time being?"

One of the riders beside him also saw the eight cavalry on the opposite side, so he suggested to Wu Bing.

"No, it's just eight people. What's to be afraid of?"

Wu Bing sneered: "all of you take up your long bow and let this group of Bashu soldiers see what a real cavalry is!"

After that, the three Liangzhou cavalry speeded up their horses and sped forward, grabbing their bows and arrows to the opposite side.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Liangzhou army's bows are all specially made ox horn riding bows. The general range of riding a bow is within 50 steps, while the range of ox horn riding a bow can reach 60 steps or even 70 steps. Don't underestimate these 20 steps. Sometimes this distance can determine life and death.

Three arrows flew out, and the eight horsemen on the opposite side fell down in front of them. They did not know whether they were dead or alive.

The Bashu cavalry were surprised to see that the Liangzhou cavalry's bow was so sharp that they quickly took off the bow and wanted to fight back. However, their shooting skills are not very good at all. Liangzhou iron cavalry has been fighting with Qiang and Hu cavalry all the year round. Their skills have been trained for six or seven times in ten shots. However, these Bashu cavalry are not good at their skills, and even worse, they are not accurate in panic.

The three Liangzhou cavalry scattered, and all the five arrows fired at them fell into the air.

"Shoot again!"

Three more arrows went out, and two men fell on the opposite side, so that the two sides were evenly matched. However, the distance between the two sides is less than 30 steps, and they can see each other's faces clearly.Wu Bing shouts: "put down the bow, take the blade to fight."

"Kill!"

Wu Bing and two Liangzhou cavalry yelled. They put down their bows and held the horse's head and charged forward. The three Bashu cavalry saw this and had no choice but to seize their weapons to fight against them.

However, both the riding skills and the bravery of both sides were not at the same level. Under one charge, three Bashu cavalry fell down one after another, leaving only a few horses whining in situ.

Wu Bing's face was grim: "he led his horse and continued to explore Fuling City."

After gathering up the horses left by the Bashu cavalry, the three continued to move forward. Gradually, the outline of a city appeared in their eyes, with two large characters from right to left, Fuling.

Although the gate of Fuling City was opened, there were many antlers and spears outside the gate, and hundreds of soldiers were stationed inside and outside the gate.

On the top of the city, there are also soldiers who don't know how many soldiers there are. There is a big flag with the word "strict" on it. We don't know how many soldiers there are in the city, but we can know that the Yizhou army must be stationed here.

Seeing the scene before him, Wu Bing rushed back without saying a word and reported the situation of Fuling City to Zhang jaw.

Not only Wu Bing, but also other scouts returned to the camp one after another, which made Zhang jaw understand the situation around Fuling City.

Yan Yan has led a large army from Jiangzhou to Fuling City. The soldiers of Pingdu City and Fuling City have all gathered in Fuling City. Now Fuling is heavily guarded.
