Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 127

Gan Ning and Su Fei went to stop Lv Meng. In addition to the [-] sailors brought from Lingling, there were also [-] Yue recruits from Gaoshun.

The combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers is closely related to that of the generals. These two groups of people are brave people who are not afraid of life and death. They lost confidence in Jiangdong's navy as soon as they fought.

Jiangdong's navy carried fewer horses. At this time, none of the horses were unloaded from the boat. Ling Tong could only watch helplessly as the enemy rode on horseback.

Seeing Gan Ning's smooth killing, Ling Tong's eyes became even more angry, he hurriedly asked the soldiers on the boat to hand over bows and arrows, and he didn't care about any cold arrows to avenge his father.

Ling Tong moved forward dozens of steps, and then followed the bow to aim at Gan Ning who was slashing.

With a whoosh, the feather arrow left the string.

"Xingba beware of cold arrows." Su Fei shouted not far away.

Gan Ning heard the rushing wind in his ears, he glanced at the direction of the arrow from the corner of his eye, and then leaned over the horse's neck, Ling Tong's hidden arrow was held in his hand with lightning speed.

Seeing that he had 'shot' the enemy, Ling Tong said to Lu Meng on the boat, "An arrow for an arrow, I will take the head and bring it back to Jiangdong to pay homage to my father."

"Gongji." Lu Meng reminded, pointing in Gan Ning's direction.

Ling Tong turned around and saw Gan Ning holding the feathered arrow with a sneer and said, "Jiangdong boy, are you waiting for the rats who shot cold arrows?"

"You traitor shot and killed my father, didn't you just shoot cold arrows?" Ling Tong replied with wide-eyed anger.

Gan Ning didn't know Ling Tong, so he was at a loss after hearing this.

Su Fei came to the side at this time, "Could it be you who shot and killed the son of Ling Cao in Jiangxia?"

"Isn't that a good time? I'll send him to reunite with Ling Cao right away." Gan Ning had long since lost his impression of Ling Cao, so he couldn't compare with this young man.

Gan Ning raised his sword and urged his horse to rush over. Seeing this, Ling Tong hurriedly ran towards the river.

Ling Tong was now equivalent to a high-ranking infantryman. In front of Gan Ning, the brave general who robbed the camp with hundreds of riders, he was giving away his head. Lu Meng hurriedly ordered the archers on board to cover him.

Gan Ning was blocked by the rain of arrows and failed to catch up. At this time, Lantian asked Gao Shun to move to the riverside with thousands of trapped camps. Thousands of sailors who had landed had no choice but to jump into the icy Yangtze River. In the end, only two hundred people managed to escape.

The Jiangdong warship went straight down the river. This kind of mood should have been refreshing, but Lu Meng and Ling Tong lost their troops and returned without success.

"Ziming, where are we going now? Should we go directly back to Chaisang?" Ling Tong is now the Sima of another department, and his rank is below that of Lü Meng. Zhou Yu appointed Lv Meng's lieutenant general for this attack on Yiling.

He had just defeated Cao Jun in Wulin, and now he suffered another defeat. Lu Meng didn't want to just sneak back to Jiangdong to be humiliated.

"Gan Ning's group of water bandits have become powerful. They took advantage of the chaos to occupy a big city like Yiling. I want to go by water to help the governor capture Xiangyang. Is Gongji going back to Jiangdong?" Lu Meng said.

Ling Tong shook his head hastily, "The war in Jingzhou is not over yet, and I'm going to Xiangyang to find the governor."

Lu Meng went to Xiangyang to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, and Ling Tong planned to ask Zhou Yu to divide his troops to attack Yiling. The two passed the Jiangling water boundary without knowing it, and the Beacon Tower immediately reported the situation to Cao Ren.

Cao Ren guessed that it was Zhou Yu's suspicious strategy, so he didn't make any deployments, but soon received Yiling's request for help, saying that Zhou Yu's troops were attacking Yiling City.

Because Yiling was far away from the Chibi battlefield, Cao Jun did not set up defenses here at all. Cao Ren didn't believe the news at first.

Seeing the earnest words of the messengers, Cao Ren sent [-] elite cavalry to rescue Yiling, but they were ambushed two hundred miles northwest of Zhijiang River, and only [-] cavalry survived the battle in panic. Lantian thus got a thousand horses .

Cao Ren is the concubine son of Chen Muhou Cao Chi, and the elder brother of Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Because he has no right to inherit the family, he separated from his family very early to make troubles.

After the Yellow Turbans disturbed the world, Cao Ren gathered thousands of young men with the income from the division of his family, and built an elite cavalry force, which wandered between Huaisi and Huaisi.

Cao Ren at that time was equivalent to Liu Bei who was drifting away, and he could be regarded as a small prince. After joining Cao Cao, he also led an army alone, and he was a figure in Cao Ying who could be alone.

After suffering such a big loss, Cao Ren finally paid attention to Yiling's "Jiangdong Army".

He called his lieutenant general Xu Huang to discuss, "Zhou Yu is really cunning. He pretends to be false and pretends to be true. The thousands of people in Yiling really have tricks. I lost thousands of elite cavalry because I underestimated the enemy."

"The Prime Minister has already gone north, and this team is obviously here to map Jiangling. I am willing to lead the army to eliminate future troubles." Xu Huang asked for a job with hands clasped.

Cao Ren nodded and said, "According to the calculation of the number of Jiangdong warships, this army is only five thousand at most. Can I have five thousand soldiers with you?"

"It should be enough."

"Gongming must be cautious. This army is quite strange. Zhou Yu didn't capture Yiling yet. Why did he transfer the warship away? Are they going to die and survive?"

Xu Huang shook his head: "I also find it incredible."

While discussing, the guards came into the hall and reported: "Yiling has been captured by Jiangdong, and more than a hundred defenders have fled back to Jiangling. The defenders will not dare to let them enter the city, so I came here to ask the general for instructions."

The two were startled when they heard that, Xu Huang: "It's really a death plan, these defeated troops"

Cao Ren smiled and said, "Gongming suspects that there is a secret operation? You will bring a few people to lead the way, and I will take care of the rest."

"It's the best. I'll go to collect troops now while Jiangdong's foothold in Yiling is not stable," Xu Huang said.

Xu Huang led his army to walk for half a day, and found a small hill ahead, with lush forests on both sides of the road.

Xu Huang saw that there seemed to be traces of fighting here, so he called Hu Ke, the guide of the defeated army, and asked: "The terrain here is dangerous, and there seems to be traces of fighting. Do you know what happened?"

Hu Ke clasped his fists and said reassuringly: "I heard that the reinforcements sent by General Cao were ambushed by bandits here."

Xu Huang frowned, and ordered the left and right to be careful and pass through this dangerous place as soon as possible.

The brigade continued to move forward for two miles, and a group of men and horses appeared behind the hill. The leader, with white beard and silver hair, immediately blocked the way with a horizontal knife, and the riders in the formation held yellow banners.

Xu Huang knew that Huang Gai, a well-known veteran in Jiangdong, was the one who feigned surrender and set fire to Wulin, which caused Prime Minister Cao to be defeated and go to Huarong Road.

Wasn't this guy shot to death by Zhang Wenyuan?Why do you still appear here in a hale and hearty way?

Xu Huang ordered the accompanying general Jiang She to go out to fight, but he was cut off by the opponent in less than one turn.

Xu Huang was dumbfounded after watching the battle, he handed over the command to the lieutenant general, leaped in front of the horse with a big axe in hand, pointed at the enemy general and cursed: "Huang Gongfu, you old man, let you see how powerful I am Xu Huang. "

Seeing Xu Huang coming out of the battle, the veteran smiled happily, held a big knife and said contemptuously: "The old man is waiting for you."
