"Pass my order, the army will move slowly." Le Jin sent someone to convey the order:

"The cavalry drives forward to protect the remaining food and grass."

Now that Guan Yu has led the navy to Xiangyang, the rest of the journey will be worry-free and the soldiers can take a breather and rest.

Guan Yunchang wanted to seduce himself, and he really thought I couldn't see through him.

Ha, naive!

Le Jin glanced at Cai Wu, who looked unhappy and was a horse's head behind him.

Doesn't this kid want to use the heads of the Guan family and his son to establish his authority?

Ha, naive!

Le Jin didn't even dare to think about it like this. There are really people who are not afraid of death and want to reach the sky in one step.

"General Le, we have worked hard to rush to Yicheng. If all the food and grass are moved away by those Guizhou leaders, do you want to snatch the food back?"

"Do more, talk less." Le Jin said in a deep voice.

"Here."

Cai Wu whispered that he understood.

Sergeant Cao's soldiers were dragging their feet and walking slowly. They were going too fast just now.

Le Jin originally planned to stop and rest after twenty miles from Yicheng.

Then he led his army to Yicheng, just to prevent Guan Yu from ambushing him.

But Guan Yu actually chose to attack Xiangyang City. In fact, he wanted to buy more time for the people to transport food.

But Yue Jin failed to fulfill his intention. Hearing that Guan Yu was sailing away with his ship, Yue Jin became even more confident.

"General Le, since Guan Yunchang has led his troops to attack Xiangyang, and the general has sent out the cavalry, why not let the soldiers have a good rest in the woods ahead."

Cai Wu suggested without giving up: "What if this is Guan Yunchang's trick?"

"trick?"

Le Jin was disdainful and was too lazy to compliment the Cai family's military talents.

"Captain Cai, you are in charge of the navy and don't understand the rules on land. When Lin Mo comes and we arrive at Yicheng, we will have food and drink, so we can rest assured."

Le Jin replied forcefully, not really in the mood to educate him.

The most important thing is that Le Jin doesn't think Cai Wu will listen to his suggestions. He is really a piece of rotten wood.

As expected, the further back the Cai family went, the worse it became.

Commander-in-Chief of the Navy?

He doesn't even have a naval force in his hands, so where can he get a great governor?

This is a joke.

Cai Wu fell behind and looked at Le Jin, feeling resentful in his heart. He, Le Jin, looked down on me!

At this moment, it would be great if there was an arrow that could knock that damn Le Jin off his horse!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Arrows rained from the sky, shooting out from the forest.

In particular, I focused on taking care of the people riding horses in the Chinese army.

Even Cai Wu didn't let him go.

Pinch off the head and tail, and hit the middle.

"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"

Guan Ping raised his sword and ordered loudly.

On warships, the most indispensable thing is crossbowmen, and there are also plenty of bows, crossbows, arrows, etc.

There was a burst of tinkling and clanging.

Le Jin fell down and was hit by several arrows.

Many tired soldiers of Cao Cao's army on the road were confused by this wave of ambush, unable to escape, and fell to the ground one after another.

Some of them reacted quickly and ran directly to the other side of the road, only to find that before they could get very far, they were shot down by ambushes in the reeds by the river and fell to the ground.

In addition, their general was being taken care of, and was beaten in the middle. Those in front were at a loss, while those in the back quickly got into a defensive posture.

A group of personal guards rushed to protect Le Jin and check his injuries.

Le Jin only felt pain in his body, but it didn't seem to be fatal so far. He hoped the arrow was not poisonous.

But this ambush made him a little confused.

Is it possible that what Guan Yu went north along the Han River was an empty ship?

Their real purpose is food, and going north to attack Xiangyang is just a cover?

After thinking about it, I realized that I was naive!

Thinking of this, Le Jin ignored the pain and shouted loudly: "Put up a shield for defense."

The armor of the messengers is naturally different from that of the general. In addition to the personal guards, most of the people surrounding the general are soldiers with feathers.

It's a pity that almost all of them, including their men and horses, were killed by random arrows. Especially the horses were taller and were really powerful arrow-absorbing weapons on the battlefield.

After several waves of arrows, the road was in a mess.

There were many stacked shields in front of Le Jin as a support to prevent arrows shot from the woods and reeds.

Cai Wu watched helplessly as the arrow hit Le Jin. Unfortunately, Le Jin was too short compared to the northern war horses.

Not many arrows were hit at all, but he was rolled off his horse and escaped unharmed.

Cai Wu was also baptized by arrows, but fortunately his armor was good enough and he didn't suffer any damage.

Just like a son of an aristocratic family who has never been on the battlefield but is eager to go to the battlefield, the weapons and armor must be the best, and they must be sharp and shiny.

Anyway, majestic is right.

But it has to be said that A is a good person, but when others actually get on the warship, they tightly hold on to his bodyguards and hide among them.

As for drawing out his sharp sword, don't even think about it.

Cai Wu just wanted to escape from this place quickly.

Who would have thought that he, the mighty Commander-in-Chief of the Jingzhou Navy, would be ambushed in the first battle and lose his morale.

"kill!"

Guan Ping shouted, and Xing Daorong, who had been waiting to take action, raised his ax and took the lead in charging.

Killed Cao Jun who was surrounded by arrows.

A wave of ambush, a wave of waiting for work.

Cao Jun, who was directly killed, threw away his weapons and ran away in a panic, only regretting that he did not have four legs.

"Don't panic." Faced with attacks from both sides, Le Jin shouted loudly:

"Pass my command to raise fire and burn the reeds by the river."

Le Jin's order spread immediately on the battlefield.

The torch was nodded and thrown into the reeds on the other side of the road, turning the two-sided attack into a one-sided one. In this way, the pressure on Cao Jun was suddenly reduced a lot.

The torches and oil were originally the food and grass that Le Jin prepared to give outside Yicheng, the second plan.

That is, if he and Guan Yu fight in Yicheng, if he falls behind, even if all the food is burned, it will not fall into Liu Bei's hands.

Torches and oil are well prepared.

Le Jin even considered burning Guan Yu's warship. The warship was carrying food and would definitely move slowly, so there would be a chance.

It's a pity that it was used in this sudden encounter.

As soon as the fire was set and the oil was thrown away, reed smoke and fire broke out.

The fever drove away the soldiers who fought out of the reeds.

Le Jin roared loudly, disregarding his injuries, and opened a way to escape himself, encouraging his soldiers to rush out with him.

Guan Erye stood by the river with a knife. He wanted to rush out just now, but he was burned away by a burst of fire. He was really unwilling to have his beard burned by the fire.

Le Jin slipped away quickly.

At this moment, on the road from Xiangyang to Yicheng, there was a sea of ​​fire along the river.

Groans and cries were heard on the road.

Most of the soldiers who were hit by arrows never received the same treatment as General Le Jin.

Not only did he have good armor, but there were also people who risked their lives to block arrows for him and protect him from the chaos.

Guan Ping wiped the blood on the Yitian Sword, and just then struck in succession. When Cao Jun's small cavalry came for reinforcements, he stopped.
To be continued...
