The two military cities built by the Han army in Lishui, one is located in Lirenbao, which is two hundred miles away from Guangxin County, and the other is only one hundred miles away from Guangxin County.

The Han army first started to build the military city away from the fort, quarrying, logging, and ship transportation, which saved a lot of effort, and in just ten days, the military city from the fort has laid the foundation, while the Mihe military city is a little slower, thousands of Han soldiers are preparing timber and building a kiln for burning bricks.

In the afternoon, 3,000 Han soldiers were busy on the construction site east of the Mihe estuary, they had already cut down thousands of large logs, built five brick kilns, dozens of craftsmen were firing the first furnace of bricks, and not far away, more than 1,000 soldiers were making bricks with wooden molds.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm bell rang from the lookout tower in the distance, 'Dang! While! While! The bell rang very quickly, and all the soldiers stopped what they were doing, stood up and looked into the distance, at this time, Captain Li Qian urged the horse to gallop, waved his hand and shouted: "If there is an enemy situation, retreat immediately!" ”

Three thousand soldiers and hundreds of craftsmen left their work and rushed to the edge of the Li River, where there were a hundred warships, all of which were 500 stone warships, which was also a small amount of water in winter, and in summer, the Lingqu and Lishui could travel a thousand stone warships.

The crowd did not wait for the warship to dock, rushed into the water, and climbed onto the boat wet, the warship set sail with more than 30 people, several soldiers supported the boat with long poles, and one by one the warships sailed away from the shore and sailed towards the center of the water.

Not long after, the 10,000 troops led by Guan Yu rushed to the Mihe Military City, and Chen Zhi led 8,000 reinforcements to Guangxin County, Guan Yu ordered Chen Zhi to lead 6,000 people to defend the city, and he himself led 10,000 soldiers to kill the two military cities built by the Han army.

At this time, the Han army had all evacuated, and only about 20 craftsmen who rushed to the accommodation to get things did not have time to escape, and were caught by the Jiaozhou army.

Guan Yu rode a horse to inspect the address of the planned military city, from the scope of the military city, at least ten miles in circumference, which made him secretly surprised, you must know that most of the county towns in Jiaozhou are about ten miles, that is to say, the Han army wants to build two new county towns on the south bank of Lishui, which is undoubtedly the logistics of the Han army to attack Cangwu County and even the entire Jiaozhou.

"Father, what should I do here?" Guan Ping immediately stepped forward and asked.

Guan Yu snorted coldly, "Destroy them all!" ”

He pointed at the two dozen craftsmen with a horsewhip, "Each person will draw ten whips and bring them back to Guangxin County!" ”

In the distance, the Han army's lookout tower collapsed, five brick kilns and tens of thousands of bricks were also destroyed, hundreds of large logs were thrown into the river by soldiers, and the wood would naturally flow to Guangxin County, as well as the footing of the city wall that had been dug up, all of them were filled, and more than 20 craftsmen were tied to the big trees and beaten, making a terrible scream.

After only five lashes, Guan Ping asked the soldiers to stop beating and took the craftsmen back to the county seat, and about an hour later, the ruins of the military city at the mouth of the Mihe River were completely destroyed, and Guan Yu led 10,000 troops to continue along the Lishui to the northwest.

Guan Yu is not reckless, while waiting for Liu Bei's reinforcements, he has sent scouts to investigate the intelligence of the Han army in the city in detail, he knows that there are very few Han troops on the Mihe River, only more than 3,000 people, and there are 15,000 people in Lirenbao, if he rushes north, and the enemy army waits for work, he may not have a chance to win, Guan Yu knows this, so although he went north, he was not in a hurry, and sent a large number of scouts to explore the way ahead.

The distance between the mouth of the Mihe River and the Fort is 100 miles, along the way are a variety of peaks, the mountains and mountains are endless primeval forests, only a narrow official road connection, the infantry march, it takes about a day and a half.

But it didn't take so long, the Jiaozhou army only walked fifty miles, and the scouts in front came with news that hundreds of warships had been found on the Li River five miles ahead, and they were heading south, Guan Ping urged the horse to catch up with his father and said: "Father, this must be the Han army got our information, so they sent warships to intercept it." ”

Guan Yu nodded, he thought so too, but the shore was all primeval forest, how could this battle be fought? Guan Ping said again: "The child knows that there is a small town not far ahead, we can speed up and rush to the town." ”

"Is it the town of Linan?" Guan Yu also remembered this town.

"Exactly, just three miles ahead of us!"

Guan Yu immediately ordered: "The whole army will speed up and rush to Linan Town!" ”

The 10,000 troops accelerated their march and trotted towards the town of Linan, there is no county seat on both sides of the Lishui in Cangwu County, there are only a dozen small towns, this town is one of them, the town is very small, less than 200 households, most of them live by fishing and farming.

The Jiaozhou army ran out of the two-mile road, the front was suddenly open, the primeval forest was gone, and it became a large rice field, at this time the spring ploughing had not yet begun, the rice fields were all dry land, and the rice stubble left last year was still in the field, standing in clusters, and the soles of the feet would be punctured if you were not careful.

A few hundred steps further is the small town of Linan, the residents of the town seem to sense that the war is coming, and they have fled into the forest with the old and the young, carrying valuable belongings, and the town is in a panic.

And at this moment, a Han army warfleet appeared on the river in the distance, and there were as many as five or six hundred ships in sight, and this warfleet was indeed coming to meet the Jiaozhou army, led by the general Jiang Qin himself, with about 10,000 troops.

Jiangdong's generals are rarely not good at water warfare, Jiang Qin is also one of the masters of water warfare, he does not want to fight in Lirenbao and the Jiaozhou army, so as not to destroy the new military city that has appeared in the city base, so he took the initiative to lead the army south to intercept the Jiaozhou army.

The Han warfleet also discovered the Jiaozhou army in the distance, and the drums on the river suddenly sounded, and Jiang Qin personally beat the drums, leading the Han warfleet to crawl like snakes zigzags and slowly move closer to the shore.

Under the command of Guan Yu, the Jiaozhou army on the shore lined up in the fields, and the five thousand crossbowmen lined up in five rows, stretched out their bows and arrows, raised their crossbows to aim, and waited for the commander's shooting order.

At this time, Guan Yu saw that the enemy ship was about to gradually dock, he waved the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and shouted: "Shoot!" ”

The Jiaozhou army also made a loud drum, and five thousand arrows were shot out at the same time, dense as a black arrow cloud, shooting towards dozens of warships of the Han army eighty steps away.

This is a defensive weapon on a small warship, and the soldiers hide in the cabin, and as soon as the enemy shoots an arrow, they immediately pull up a piece of hardwood placed on the side of the ship, five or six feet long, to cover the cabin.

Dense bursts of arrows crackled on the fretters, but some of them entered the cabin, some soldiers were unfortunately hit by arrows, and screams were heard from inside the ship.

Guan Yu saw that archery was ineffective, and he knew that this matter was not the death of archery, and the big sword was staggered

But Guan Yu did not wait for the Han army to land, hundreds of warships lined up, and small trebuchets with a height of one person were exposed on both sides of the cabin of each warship, Guan Yu was taken aback, he immediately realized the Han army's attempt, and immediately shouted: "Quickly retreat back!" ”

10,000 Jiaozhou troops retreated to the south, and at this moment, hundreds of trebuchets were fired at the same time, throwing countless ceramic canisters to the shore, which was the sharpest weapon of the Han army - fire oil bombs.

Nearly 1,000 thin-skinned clay pots were thrown to the shore overwhelmingly, the clay pots were shattered, the oil flowed all over the rice fields, dozens of rockets took off into the air, shot to the shore, the flames rose into the air, and the more than 100 acres of rice fields near the shore were instantly engulfed, dozens of Jiaozhou soldiers who retreated a little slower were also trapped by the fire, several soldiers screamed and ran out of the fire, full of flames, the soldiers behind were so frightened that they dodged, and several soldiers fell on the lift, and were burned and curled up.

The fire mixed with thick smoke spread to all directions, and after a while, the houses of the small town of Linan were also ignited, and the entire south bank of Lishui became a sea of fire, and 10,000 Jiaozhou soldiers retreated one after another, almost to the edge of the forest, and they looked at the scene in front of them in horror.

These 10,000 Jiaozhou soldiers are all locals, and they have never seen this kind of flame weapon, and many people think that it is witchcraft, so they are so frightened that they kneel and kowtow, and there are words in their mouths, while the rest of the soldiers have fear in their eyes.

Jiang Qin kept ordering to throw canisters of fire oil on the shore, so that the fire burned bigger and bigger, the flames rose into the air, the smoke billowed out, the whole town was engulfed in flames, hundreds of acres of land became a sea of fire, and the soldiers of the Jiaozhou Army were forced into the forest.

Jiang Qin stared for a moment, and seeing that the effect of deterrence had been achieved, he ordered: "The fleet turns around and goes north!" ”

Hundreds of warships turned around, hung up their sails, and sailed to the northwest, in the distance, Guan Yu saw that the Han army had actually retreated, and he was a little strange in his heart, the Han army could obviously land and fight, how did it retreat. At this time, Guan Ping urged the horse to his father and said in a low voice: "Father, the morale of the army is unstable and the morale is low, so if you go to fight the Han army like this, I am afraid you will not have the upper hand." ”

Guan Ping said very implicitly, in fact, he was telling Guan Yu that the army's heart had been shaken, and if he fought with the Han army again, he would definitely be defeated, of course Guan Yu knew it in his heart, but let him retreat without a fight, this was not his style.

Guan Yu pondered for a moment and said: "First withdraw to the Mishui River Estuary for a while, and send people to investigate the movement of Liren Fort, I think the Han army is a bit bluffing, there must be an article here, we must make the situation clear, and we can't withdraw to Guangxin in a daze." ”

The Han army retreated north, there was no fire oil to continue to burn, and the fire on the south bank of Lishui gradually subsided, at this time, the residents of Linan Town rushed out of the forest, calling for heaven and earth to scoop water to save their houses, but the houses here are all made of bamboo and wood, and most of them have already collapsed, Guan Yu shook his head and led the soldiers to slowly withdraw to the mouth of the Mishui River.

At this time, the grain and grass fleet from Guangxin County also arrived at the mouth of the Mishui River, Guan Yu ordered to set up a large camp, the soldiers buried the pot to cook, built a guard tower, Guan Yu also let his anxious heart calm down, patiently waiting for the news that the scouts went to Liren Fort to investigate.
