Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

In the past, heroes all over the world treated her as nothing as a woman, but since the Battle of Puzhou, no one dared to look down on her anymore. Although Zhang Fei swore in front of Deng Zhi that Zhang Mo would not cheat him, when he really arrived outside the Great Wall, he still kept his guard up.

He first went to the city and requested to pass through the north gate. After getting permission, he led his team to a place further upstream to cross the river. When they carefully crossed the river, the north gate had been opened. Zhang Fei rode in first, looked around, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong, he waved his hand to let the soldiers behind him follow.

Zhang Fei had lived in Hanzhong for many years and was very familiar with the terrain here. As long as they passed the pass and the adjacent Mian County, the rest of the land would be flat and it would be impossible to set an ambush there. Even though there were mountains and hills at the easternmost end of the basin, his brother's troops must have reached Shiquan County, and the enemy would not set an ambush there.

However, he still underestimated Zhang Mo. When she first traveled through time, she followed Wang Yun to Yuzhou to suppress the Yellow Turbans and ambushed the Yellow Turban bandits on the plains.

There is no place to ambush troops on the plains, but it is possible inside the city. Zhang Fei obviously did not think of this. He was afraid of being surrounded and attacked on three sides by the Tang cavalry. After entering Yangping Pass, he marched along the Mian River. In this way, if he encountered cavalry, at least the side close to the river would be safe. As long as the infantry formed a battle array facing outward, they could resist the enemy's attack.

He was really careful. After entering the pass, he sent several scouts to investigate first. The team kept a neat formation during the march. He would rather walk slowly than let the team disperse. He also let the soldiers rest for a while after walking for a while to maintain their physical strength for fighting. As a result, nothing happened on the first day.

By the next day, the team was already far away from the Tang army camp. Zhang Fei felt a little relieved and quickened his march. However, at noon, scouts from the rear reported that a cavalry was chasing them.

Zhang Fei cursed Zhang Mo inwardly for breaking his promise and quickly ordered his soldiers to line up along the river. When Zhao Yun led the cavalry to chase after them, he saw that the enemy was already on high alert and did not go up to fight head-on. Instead, he led his troops to harass them from the periphery with cavalry and archery.

The mobility of the cavalry was fully demonstrated at this time. If the enemy drew his arrow and reacted, he would retreat. If the enemy continued on the road, he would chase them. Zhang Fei was afraid that the Tang army would be chasing him from behind, and he did not dare to wait for death there. He could only fight and retreat. Although there were no major casualties, such a high-intensity march was very physically demanding.

It was not until the evening that the tired team finally retreated to the vicinity of Nanzheng City. Zhang Fei instantly saw hope and wanted to lead his troops into the city without thinking. His idea was that since they had already entered the pass, instead of being constantly harassed by the Tang cavalry, it would be better to defend the city and wait for Liu Bei's army to return.

"Wait, what if there's an ambush in the city?"

At the critical moment, Deng Zhi stopped him again.

"Will it? When we entered the pass yesterday, I carefully observed Dingjun Mountain. Birds flew by without stopping, so there must be an ambush. Her ambush failed, so she sent cavalry to pursue us."

"Whether there is any or not, send someone to check it out first."

Zhang Fei nodded and called a few soldiers to go into the city to check.

The reconnaissance soldiers first observed outside the city and saw that the people were coming in and out calmly. Then they looked in through the city gate and saw that the vendors on the main street and passers-by were the same as usual. The flag on the top of the city was still the Shu army flag, so they went back to report with peace of mind.

Zhang Fei led his troops to retreat towards Nanzheng City, but he didn't expect that the city gate would suddenly close when he approached. The defenders on the city wall pointed their bows and arrows at them, ready for battle.

Zhang Fei rode his horse closer, pointed at his own nostrils, and shouted, "Liang Dong, you don't even recognize me? Open the door!"

Liang Dong was the lieutenant of Nanzheng County. Since Yangping Pass was heavily guarded, his main responsibility was to catch bandits and maintain public order, not to guard the city. There was a reason why the city gate was closed.

He leaned over with his hands to look around, and seeing that it was Zhang Fei, he quickly ordered the city gates to be opened. He then went down to explain, "General, you've misunderstood. Some time ago, the Tang army came from the northern mountain roads under the banner of our Shu army, parading all the way across the border to Yangping Pass and looting the nearby city. I also heard that Yangping Pass was breached a few days ago, so when we saw the army approaching, we closed the gates. I didn't expect that they would lock you out of the city today."

"You said that the Tang army that originally came into Dingjun Mountain came from the northern mountain road? Which road?" Zhang Fei asked.

"I don't know. I just heard from the people that they came from that side. Not long ago, the general was dispatching troops to Hanzhong, and everyone thought it was our own army. Who would have thought it was actually the enemy? I heard that most of these Tang troops are from Liangzhou, and they are just like the Dong thieves in the past, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. I was worried that Nanzheng would be robbed, so I couldn't sleep well these days. Today, the general is here, and I can finally sleep well tonight."

After hearing Liang Dong's words, not only did Zhang Fei completely dispel his doubts, but Deng Zhi also felt relieved and ordered the troops to go into the city to hide.

When the people on the street saw the army coming in, they hurriedly fled to the alleys on both sides. The four thousand people soon entered the city. Zhang Fei called a military officer and asked him to take five hundred people to the city wall to help defend the city. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a shrill horn sounded, and many archers suddenly appeared on the city wall and on both sides of the street, and fired a volley of arrows at the Shu army on the street. The defenseless Shu army was shot and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

Zhang Fei was stunned by this sudden change, but then he came to his senses and glared at Liang Dong with his eyes as sharp as blades, furious. "Traitor, I'll chop you to death!!"

"General, I had no choice. My father, mother, wife, and children were all taken away by the princess's men..."

Liang Dong was so scared that he peed his pants and ran towards the city wall while explaining to him. Zhang Fei was furious and rushed over on his horse to chase him. When Liang Dong was about to die under Zhang Fei's spear, a rider suddenly appeared from the side and blocked Zhang Fei for him.

Zhang Fei took a look and saw that the person coming was none other than the guard named Xu Chu who was beside Amo. He had competed with him in Jinyang before and they were evenly matched.

Looking at the many Shu soldiers who died tragically on the streets, Zhang Fei's mood at this time was no longer enough to be described as furious. Of course, in addition to anger, there was also disappointment in Zhang Mo's breaking of her promise, regret for not listening to Deng Zhi, and guilt towards the soldiers. All these complicated emotions made him a little emotionally broken.

Zhang Fei was like a mad beast, stabbing Xu Chu with his Zhangba Snake Spear. Xu Chu blocked or attacked with his sword. Although it was a little difficult to cope with him at the beginning, Zhang Fei exerted all his strength without reservation. He had already walked all day and was chased by Zhao Yun's cavalry for half a day, so his physical strength was obviously running out. The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and Zhang Fei's physical strength gradually couldn't keep up with his movements.

At this time, the city gate opened again, and Zhao Yun led a group of cavalrymen in. Xu Chu deliberately let Zhang Fei go during the fight, wanting to let him leave, but Zhang Fei seemed not to notice and had no intention of escaping at all. Seeing that he could not defeat Xu Chu, he made a feint to avoid him and rushed to the Shu army on horseback, wanting to help them escape.
