Volume 3 A Thousand Miles to Save Guan Gong Chapter 67 Ambush Rises
Seeing Adou running so fast, there were people who ran faster than war horses before Adou, and legend has it that Zhang Xiu's general Hu Che'er could carry 500 catties of things and walk 700 miles a day. Seven hundred miles a day is three points faster than an ordinary war horse. Ordinary war horses are fast when they walk 600 miles a day, and a good horse like Chitu, which travels thousands of miles a day, is one of the few in the world.
Speaking of which, Adou didn't run as hard as he could. Otherwise, with the speed of Adou's light grass flying, the war horse behind him would have been thrown away by himself.
Jiangdong is not rich in war horses, and the speed and endurance of Jiangdong horses are much worse than those of Liangzhou horses and Youzhou horses, let alone compared with better war horses on the grassland. So if Adou runs fast, these Jiangdong people may not be able to keep up. If the people behind him were riding horses of the level of Chitu to chase him, Adou would still be afraid of three points, but looking at these Jiangdong horses behind him, Adou could ensure his safety by running casually.
"Kill him!" Lu Meng shouted, constantly slapping the war horse under his crotch. Next to him, Jiang Qin followed closely beside Lu Meng.
I saw that Lu Meng suddenly drew his bow and arrow, and pointed at Adou is arrow, but riding and shooting this thing is not so easy to practice, and Lu Meng's archery skills are still much worse than Huang Zhong and others, so this arrow is far away.
Jiang Qin looked at the arrow and frowned slightly. This mounted archery was not what Lu Meng was good at, but why did Lu Meng shoot this arrow? This is not at all like the steady Lu Meng on weekdays!
Speaking of which, Jiang Qin has known Lu Meng for more than ten years, but Jiang Qin has never seen Lu Meng look like this. At this time, a trace of worry gradually rose in Jiang Qin's heart, what happened to Lu Meng today, he was so out of shape.
Those infantry naturally ran as fast as the generals on horseback, and the horsemen's riding skills and the speed of the horses were not the same, so gradually, the phalanx became a cone-shaped formation, and the conical formation became a long snake formation.
After more than 20 miles, the distance between the riders and the infantry had been widened, and LΓΌ Meng took the lead, followed by Jiang Qin with more than 400 cavalry. As for the infantry, it has been gradually thrown away.
Adou looked back, between Lu Meng carrying a big knife, desperately rushed towards him, looking at Lu Meng's expression, as if he was his father's killer, Adou shook his head puzzled, didn't he just kill Zhu Ran, can he be so angry! Could it be that this Zhu Ran is your relative?
Thinking about it, Adou didn't stop at his feet, Adou calculated the distance between the two sides while running, and at the same time slightly accelerated his footsteps, unconsciously opening up some distance from Lu Meng.
Lu Meng's mind was full of revenge for Zhou Yu. Lost his mind. I saw that the distance between the two sides was gradually widening. The heart is even more anxious. Lu Meng also didn't care about saving horsepower at this time. Slapped the war horse under the crotch fiercely. War horses suffer pain. I ran for my life. Later, Jiang Qin worked harder.
The crowd chased for an hour. Finally, we came to a relatively narrow area. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers. To the west is Jingshan Mountain. To the east is the Xiangjiang River.
Jiang Qin glanced west. Far west is the rolling Jing Mountain. A gust of wind blew from the north. It brought a little coolness. Jiang Qin could even smell the smell of the Xiangjiang River in the wind.
Jiang Qin looked back. Only then did the infantry disappear behind them. Think about it again. There were only a few hundred knights left.
After all, Jiang Qin has been the commander of the army for many years. Although Jiang Qin is good at water warfare. But speaking of land warfare. Jiang Qin was not ambiguous. Now there are only a few hundred people around me. Alone in the depths of the ambush if encountered. I'm afraid there will be more than one luck.
Come to think of this. Jiang Qin hurriedly shouted, "Governor." Stop chasing. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The roads are narrow. We're alone. If you are ambushed. I'm afraid it's going to be wiped out! β
As if to confirm what Jiang Qin said, at this moment, he only heard the sound of the gong, and killed a group of men and horses from the mountains to the west, and it was Liao Hua who was carrying a spear for one of the generals, and there were more than 2,000 horses behind him.
"It's not good, there is an ambush, the governor should retreat quickly!" Jiang Qin hurriedly shouted.
At the same time, I saw the dust in front of me, and then, a big flag appeared on the horizon, embroidered with a golden big word "Guan", and then a general appeared under its banner, riding a red horse, wearing a green robe, lying on the eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the face was like a winter date, and a long beard fluttered in the wind.
"Guan Yu!" Lu Meng shouted, Lu Meng saw Guan Yu, and finally came to his senses, at this time Lu Meng looked around, only to see that there were only a few hundred horses around, Lu Meng secretly screamed badly, knowing that he was ambushed this time.
"Retreat!" Lu Meng shouted, and was about to retreat. At this time, Lu Meng was surrounded by cavalry, and Guan Yu Liaohua and they were mostly infantry, so Lu Meng believed that he could get rid of Guan Yu and escape with his speed.
Lu Meng walked back for only a mile, and now there is already a team of people blocking the middle of the road in the distance, this team of people and horses is about 5,000, a middle-aged general, holding a big knife in his hand, it is Guan Ping.
Seeing Guan Ping, Lu Meng's heart suddenly sank, this Guan Ping's current martial arts are not much worse than Guan Yu, and I am afraid that no one under his command will be able to survive Guan Ping Sanhe. And looking at the other party's five thousand men, Lu Meng knew that the other party was deliberately trying to cut off his way back.
At this time, Lu Meng had already understood that the other party had already set up a plan waiting for him to take the bait, and since the young man appeared, he had already been tricked. The young man deliberately held Zhu Ran's head, and came alone, the purpose was to lure Lu Meng to chase after him, and the young man had already calculated that his cavalry unit would distance himself from the infantry and bury it
, With Guan Yu's army of 10,000 people, it is still very light T+ to eat hundreds of people
I didn't see through such a simple trick, I was really dizzy, I didn't expect that I would fall into such a dangerous situation on the spur of the moment.
Behind the level of 5,000 men and horses, it is definitely impossible to break through from behind, it seems that the other party is preventing himself from escaping from behind; If you break through forward, Guan Yu is opposite, and the road ahead leads to Xiangyang, which is no different from sending you to death; As for going west, it is even more impossible, although there are fewer Liaohua people in the west, but the west is the ups and downs of Jingshan, and it is impossible to ride a horse in the mountains, and breaking through to the west is equivalent to giving up the advantage of cavalry, and there are few people on their side, and if they lose the speed advantage of cavalry, it will be more difficult to break through.
It seems that the only way to go is to go east! But to the east is the Xiangjiang River
"Go east!" Lu Meng shouted and immediately led people to the east.
"General, the east is the Xiangjiang River!" Jiang Qin said immediately.
"Hmph, do we have a choice in this situation? I only hope that the Xiangjiang River can be crossed now that the water is shallow! Lu Meng said.
This is the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River, which is already relatively close to the Yangtze River, and the south of Xiangfan is not colder than the north, so even in winter, it is not easy to freeze here. However, the amount of water in the Xiangjiang River will be relatively small in winter, so Lu Meng decided to take a gamble, and if the water is shallow, he may be able to cross the river. If you're lucky, you'll come across a few boats, even better.
Zhou Cang looked at Lu Meng from a distance and went east, and immediately said to Guan Yu: "General, this Lu Meng really went east as the son wanted!" β
Guan Yu nodded, Adou's strategy is really good, just use himself to lure the enemy, the situation is too dangerous. However, the place that Adou chose is really good, just suitable for ambushes, I really don't know how he found such a good place. I am afraid that I have been in Jingzhou for many years, and I may not be able to find such a good place to ambush Lu Meng.
For the Jingshan area, Adou is naturally very familiar, because this area is not only Jingshan, in Adou's time, there is a more famous mountain than Jingshan in this area, that is, Wudang Mountain. Adou has lived in Wudang for more than 20 years, so where there are mountains and depressions in this vicinity, Adou can count them with his eyes closed.
Luring the enemy alone is indeed dangerous in everyone's eyes, but Adou has a bottom in his heart. In fact, in Adou's heart, the most ideal person to lure the enemy is Guan Yu. After all, Lu Meng is coming for Guan Yu now, if Guan Yu appears, it will be strange if Lu Meng does not chase after him. Moreover, Guan Yu Chitu is fast, and Lu Meng and others will definitely not be able to catch up.
But thinking about it, didn't he come to save Guan Yu this time, if this Guan Gong's mind was hot and saw Lu Meng go up to fight with him again, and trapping himself would be more than worth the loss, so Adou still decided to go and lure the enemy by himself. Unexpectedly, Lu Meng remembered what Adou had done on Zhou Yu's coffin back then, and he made a mistake in and out, which just happened to lure Lu Meng.
I saw Guan Yu wave his big sword: "Order, chase after it immediately!" If you can capture Lu Meng, it's best, if you can't capture Lu Meng, then the hundreds of people around Lu Meng can't let go!
"The last will be ordered!"
As soon as Guan Yu gave the order, Guan Ping, Liao Hua and the people from Guan Yu's headquarters immediately began to pursue Lu Meng to the east.
Xiangjiang Riverside.
LΓΌ Meng finally came to the riverside. It's winter, so the river is much narrower than it is in summer. The river flows slowly, and from this place, if you go down the Xiangjiang River, you can directly merge into the Yangtze River to reach the mouth of the three rivers. And if you cross the river, you can also reach the vicinity of Jiangxia by going southeast along the river, and these three river estuaries and Jiangxia are Sun Quan's territory.
"Dudu, I'll try the depth of the river!" Jiang Qin said, took off the armor and clothes on his body, and was about to jump like Jiangzhong.
Now it is winter, and the river is naturally cold, but Jiang Qin is a water general, and said that water warfare is what Jiang Qin is best at, and among all the people, Jiang Qin is also the best in water.
At this moment, a black spot floated over the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, Jiang Qin looked carefully, and saw a small boat getting closer and closer, slowly moving towards this side.
"Governor, look, there's a ship!" Jiang Qin pointed upstream, and everyone's eyes were focused on where.
Jiang Qin ran a few steps, came to the riverside, and shouted loudly: "Boatman, come to the shore!" Hurry up and get on the shore! β
The boat seemed to hear Jiang Qin's voice and really leaned towards Jiang Qin's side.
When the boat got closer, everyone realized that it was just a small fishing boat, which could seat three or four people at most.
In fact, it is winter now, and the water level of the Xiangjiang River is far lower than in summer, so probably only small fishing boats can pass, and if the big war ships come here, I am afraid that they will run aground.
Finally, the boat got closer and closer. I saw a boatman standing in the bow of the boat, dressed in a robe, with a hat on his head and covering his face.
At the same time, Guan Yu's army could be faintly seen in the distance.
"Gongyi, this ship is too small! There is no room for us! Lu Meng said to Jiang Qin.
"Governor, don't worry about so much, you better get on the boat quickly, I'll leave it here!" Jiang Qin had already put on his armor again at this time.
When Lu Meng saw Jiang Qin like this, he immediately understood that Jiang Qin wanted to stay on the shore to resist Guan Yu and buy time for himself to escape.
"No, I can't leave you behind!" Lu Meng said resolutely.
"Dudu, you go quickly, Guan Yu is about to chase after you!"
"No, I'm not leaving! I can't leave you behind! β
"Governor, Jiangdong can do without me Jiang Qin, but definitely not without Governor!"
"Gong Yi......" Lu Meng has something to say.
But at this time, Jiang Qin knelt down: "Please get on the boat quickly!" β
As Jiang Qin knelt down, the hundreds of knights behind him also descended
, said in unison: "Please upload it quickly!" β
"Don't hesitate, Governor, get on board! The lord needs you, and Jiangdong needs you! Jiang Qin then persuaded.
"But you ...... If I run away alone and leave you here, how can I be worthy of you! β
"Dudu, if you don't leave, when Guan Yu chases, we will all die here! Governor, if you feel sorry for us, then you must avenge us when you return! β
"Yes, Dudu, you must go back and avenge us!"
Lu Meng looked at the hundreds of knights kneeling beside him, tears couldn't help but slide down his eyes, if he hadn't been carried away by anger, he wouldn't have led his troops to chase after him, then everyone wouldn't have to fall into such a situation, and some of them in front of him wouldn't have survived.
All this is because of myself!
At this time, Lu Meng fell into deep self-blame. At this time, Lu Meng finally realized that a general was incapable of killing a thousand troops, and the ancients did not deceive me!
Looking at Guan Yu who was approaching in the distance, the big "pass" on the flag fluttered with the wind, and a sense of powerlessness surged into Lu Meng's heart, Guan Yu deserved to be a famous general in the world, and he still underestimated Guan Yu too much!
Just a few hours ago, Guan Yu was still trapped in Maicheng, like a lost dog, but he didn't expect that only a few hours later, he and Guan Yu's positions were reversed, and now this lost dog has become himself!
Guan Yu, Guan Yu, when he was escaping, he could still think of such a plan, it seems that it was not a fluke to flood the Seventh Army that day! I, Lu Meng, have always thought that you Guan Yu can have today's achievements, but it is just the ability of the horseman, when it comes to the use of soldiers, I Lu Meng thinks that he is far stronger than you, but now it seems that my Lu Meng is indeed inferior to you!
Under the expectant gaze of all the soldiers, Lu Meng finally got on the boat, and the ship gradually went away from the shore, and Jiang Qin and others on the river bank had already reloaded the war horses.
The big flag embroidered with the golden word "Guan" was getting closer and closer, and Lu Meng on the ship clenched his fists tightly, and finally, Jiang Qin rushed forward with hundreds of cavalry.
Jiang Qin waved his blade vigorously, bringing up pieces of minced meat, and blood splashed on Jiang Qin's face, Jiang Qin didn't seem to notice it at all. Still rushing forward bravely. But there were fewer and fewer knights around Jiang Qin.
"Jiang Qin, take your life!" A loud shout came, and Liao Hua rushed over with a gun.
The spear turned into a strange arc, directly hitting Jiang Qin's door, the impact of the horse made Liao Hua's gun extraordinary, at this time Jiang Qin had already killed the red eye, and the spear in his hand danced, and also stabbed Liao Hua's choked throat, with a posture of ending up.
Where would Liao Hua die with Jiang Qin, in an instant, Liao Hua put away his gun and set up Jiang Qin's attack. Then Liao Hua flipped his wrist, and the spear just right to meet the route of Jiang Qin's gun.
Jiang Qin struggled to set up the attacking spear, at this moment, Jiang Qin saw a figure rushing towards him at an astonishing speed, on the battlefield, there is only one possibility that can have such a speed, that is, the red rabbit horse! When Jiang Qin turned his head, a big knife had already slid towards Jiang Qin's throat, and Jiang Qin could even see the green dragon on the big knife!
In the next moment, Jiang Qin's head flew up, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and blood spurted out violently from the wound on Jiang Qin's neck, like a volcanic explosion, difficult to clean.
Guan Yu picked up Jiang Qin's head with a knife, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and he sighed slightly: "Jiang Qin, if you can die under Guan Mou's knife, it can be regarded as a worthwhile life......
"General Guan is mighty!" Seeing Guan Yu slash Jiang Qin in seconds, Zhou Cang shouted behind him.
Guan Yu's slash, Zhou Cang doesn't know how many times he has seen it, but he still never gets tired of seeing it, lifting the knife and slashing people in one go, even a general like Yan Liang can't stop Guan Yu's earth-shattering knife from crying ghosts and gods.
On the boat, Lu Meng watched those familiar figures fall down one by one, and Lu Meng's heart was dripping blood. A quarter of an hour ago, these were all living beings, but now, they were just corpses.
After so many years of fighting, Lu Meng originally thought that he was used to parting with life and death, but now seeing these people fall down one after another, tears flowed uncontrollably.
When Guan Yu rushed towards Jiang Qin, Lu Meng had already opened his mouth to shout for Jiang Qin to be careful, but the sound of killing on the battlefield was shocking, how could Lu Meng's voice reach Jiang Qin's ears, and Lu Meng could watch Jiang Qin be cut off by Guan Yu.
"Brethren, I have harmed you! I'm the one who hurt you! Lu Meng's voice was already a little stalked, and after a long time, Lu Meng raised his head, wiped away his tears, and said fiercely: "Guan Yu, and the white-clothed child, you wait, he and I Lu Meng will wait for the dog's life and avenge my hundreds of soldiers!" β
"Hehe, Governor Lu, do you want to seek revenge on me? No other days, now! A faint voice came from behind, and Lu Meng turned his head sharply, and it was the boatman who spoke.
I saw the boatman slowly take off his coat, take off the hat on his head, and raise his head. A gust of river wind blew, and the white clothes fluttered in the wind, and a wicked smile hung on the slightly immature face.
This boatman turned out to be Adou pretending!
