The Three Kingdoms in the Ya Nei

Chapter 354: Battle in Jingzhou ([-])

Putting up the pergola and looking up at the sky, the blazing sun was baking the earth recklessly. In the distance where the sky and the earth meet, the heat is steaming, making the scenery on the opposite side tremble non-stop, with weird distortions.

Cao Ren stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, his body bent on the horse's back.At this moment, his helmet is gone, his armor is crooked, and he is wearing a ochre-colored war robe. There are holes and scorched marks after the fire everywhere, and some of them have been broken into strips of cloth, which are fluttering with the bumps of the horse. The rocks were torn.

A few strands of loose hair hung down from the face covered with dirt, the sweat dried out, and the hair sticked to the face, leaving behind filthy traces, and there was also a kind of tightness and discomfort, The whole body seems to be exuding heat that cannot be vented from the inside to the outside.

"Order, tell everyone to speed up and rest at the river ahead." Cao Ren looked back at the soldiers who were almost as virtuous as himself, and Cao Ren ordered the messenger with a gloomy look in his eyes. [

The messenger responded loudly, and galloped away, and the sound of the messenger sounded behind him. Perhaps it was the word "river water" in the order that gave hope to the army, and the whole team gradually picked up speed.

"What's the frontier?" Cao Ren stretched out his hand to rub his itchy forehead, and asked Chen Jiao, who was listless beside him.With the movement of the hand, there is a hot feeling on the forehead.

No more sweating, it seems that the water in the body has been evaporated by the heat long ago, the scorching sun has already burned the epidermis.

"Uh, this should be Zuotang, and there are two roads going forward, both of which can go back to Jiangling. The left one leads to Qianling, and the right one goes to Gong'an...>

"Oh, which way..." Cao Ren nodded slightly, swallowed with difficulty the saliva that had been clenched for a long time, moistened his burning throat and asked, but before he could finish the question, a horse in front of him galloped up and drove him The following words are interrupted.

"Report, General Qi, the road ahead to the direction of the Public Security Bureau was blocked by a few trees pushed down, please tell the general which way we are going to go." The scout reported loudly.

Cao Ren was taken aback for a moment, and his pupils shrank instantly.He raised his hand to stop the group behind him from moving forward, stopped his horse and pondered slightly.

"How about Chanling?" After a while, he raised his head and asked.

"There is no movement over there, everything is normal."

"Huh?...>

"Here! Uh, but...>

"What?" Cao Ren frowned slightly, looking at the guard.

"General, the river mentioned just now is on the side of Chanling. There are also some inlets on the Gong'an side, but firstly, there are mountain streams blocking it. If you want to get water, you need to travel several miles; secondly, there There are many swamps, and it is difficult to travel, which is not conducive to marching. Besides, since people have set up roadblocks on the way forward, I am afraid..." The guard stopped talking at this point, and only looked at Cao Ren.Although he didn't finish the sentence, the meaning was clear, I'm afraid there will be an ambush over there.

Cao Ren shook his head slightly, and said proudly: "You have set up a roadblock on the other side of the road, and you are afraid that there will be an ambush behind you. Everyone thinks like you, so they will avoid this road and go to Zhanling. I am afraid that you will really be hit. Don't you know that soldiers are not sure what is true and what is false, what is false is true, and what is real is false? I just... >
