Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Second Interception

After entering the official road in the middle of the dense forest, although Yuan Shao ordered the army to maintain a rapid march, he had already sent two columns of vanguard squads on horseback with shields to investigate the situation ahead.

At this time, Zhang Lie had already rushed to the agreed Guan Yu interception site with thousands of archers, but he did not find the slightest figure in the forest full of fallen leaves.

Seeing this scene, the men and horses led by Zhang Lie were all at a loss, and there was already a dense sound of horses' hooves in the distance, but now they did not find their own army in the place they wanted to arrive, did they really let them compare with the horses?

Without waiting for everyone to be disheartened, Zhang Lie suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother Yun, the enemy army is coming, and he has not shown up yet." ”

"It's been a long time coming."

As soon as these words came out, among the fallen leaves around everyone, a number of figures suddenly rose up, and when they looked at it, they were all people and horses in Youzhou City, and even the horses were highlighted in the pile of fallen leaves, as if they appeared out of thin air, so that the standing Zhang Lie people and horses were dumbfounded, and they were also a little amazed at the number of fallen leaves in this dense forest in autumn, and the thickness of the fallen leaves.

The burly red-faced man at the head, with thick eyebrows and broad eyes, stroked his long hair, held a big knife on his back, quickly crossed the pile of fallen leaves and walked in front of Zhang Lie, stood on the trunk of the tree leaning on the side, took out the brocade bag in his arms, and looked at the note with Zhang Lie.

I saw the last book: Order Zhang Lie to lead the team, get on the horse to intercept, evacuate with three arrows, Guan Yu led the team, hide again, wait for Yuan Shao's army to cross, cut down trees to block the road, cut off the back road, and then return to the dense forest to eliminate the people and horses left by Yuan Shao.

The sound of marching in the distance was getting closer and closer, Guan Yu and Zhang Lie glanced at each other, without saying much, Guan Yu turned around and ordered his subordinates to lead the horses out of the dense forest, and after returning to the official road, he asked his subordinates to bury themselves again in the thick pile of fallen leaves in the dense forest.

Zhang Lie ordered his men to get on their horses and stand by, and the horse's head was in the direction of Youzhou City, turning around and bending the bow and arrows, waiting for the enemy.

When the two reconnaissance troops led by Yuan Shao's army appeared, Zhang Lie immediately shouted: "Release the arrows." ”

Thousands of archers suddenly fired three rounds, and nearly 10,000 sharp arrows flew into the sky, and then Zhang Lie gave an order, and all his men put their bows on their backs, turned around and rode away, stirring up thick dust.

Seeing the attacking arrows, Yuan Shao immediately ordered the army to stop, raise a shield to defend, a dense round of impact sound resounded here, but did not bring too much damage, and when the arrows attacked, Yuan Shao raised his eyes and looked around, except for a few really unlucky soldiers who were killed by random arrows, there was not much impact at all.

However, the arrows diagonally inserted on the official road in front of him are a big trouble, and if they are not cleaned up, they can't ride their horses over, and without waiting for Yuan Shao's orders, Wen Chou has already sent his men to dismount to clean up the arrows on the ground, and strive to open a road through this place in the shortest possible time.

Hundreds of people were dispatched, and the obstacles on the ground were eliminated in a very decisive time, Yuan Shao saw this, sneered, and continued to chase forward with the army, now these archers can no longer cause much damage to them, in Yuan Shao's opinion, there is basically nothing that can stop them.

The successful blocking of this time obviously also succeeded in inspiring the military spirit of Yuan Shao's army, and all the generals and soldiers did not have that worried atmosphere on their faces, but were a little excited, as if they were chasing the remnants of the defeated army.

When Yuan Shao's army disappeared here, not long after, Guan Yu from the pile of dead leaves in the dense forest took the lead in rushing out, and without the slightest delay, he ordered his men and horses to start cutting down trees to create roadblocks.
