Li Yue only has one idea now, he can't let Xie Xuan run, otherwise this battle will not be perfect.

Regardless of the fatigue of running around for days, Li Yuewang didn't even look at Lexiang, so he recalled Zhang Hao and Liu Gaozhi, and led 20,000 cavalry to embark on a journey here.

Soldiers are fast.

Now that the news of Lexiang's defeat has not yet reached Xiakou, Xie Xuan must still have a trace of illusion about so many cities upstream.

The cavalry rushed back from the same route.

Rushing to Huarong Road, the sky suddenly became gloomy.

The clouds were almost rolling against the ground, and the west wind was blowing, and the reeds and withered grass were shivering.

"Phew—"

Li Yue reined in his war horse and let out a loud neigh.

"Is it going to rain heavily?" Liu Gaozhi frowned.

As soon as the words fell, a muffled thunder suddenly slammed into the distant sky, tearing open the dazed heaven and earth, one after another, as if a wild beast was roaring, moving people's hearts.

The raindrops soon fell and smashed on the iron armor with a crisp clanging sound.

"Oh, God is not beautiful." Zhang Oyster opened a pair of bloodshot bull's eyes.

The surrounding soldiers looked at Li Yue.

Li Yue wiped the rain from his face, "No, this is the sky to complete me, to complete the beam, this rain, it will be more difficult for the news of Lexiang to reach the downstream, and Xie Xuan will not be able to run!" ”

The difficulties are mutual, compared with the land route, the wind and waves on the river are greater, which is equivalent to the abolition of Xie Xuan's army.

And heavy rain can also hide the trail of cavalry.

Li Yue waved the reins of his horse and shouted: "Keep up, this is a godsend!" ”

The emperors are all on board, and the soldiers naturally can't lag behind and rush in the torrential rain.

Lightning pierced the sky, as if it was slashing around Li Yue.

Suddenly, three hundred steps away from the left, a big tree burst out of a cloud of white light, and then with a "boom", it burst into flames in the rain, and the flames danced in the rain, but soon turned into a struggle and slowly extinguished.

Phew—

The soldiers can resist the Celestial Power with their will, but the warhorses are extremely frightened.

There were more than 100 horses in a panic into the wilderness, one horse did not run away more than 100 steps, a white light fell from the sky, from the top of the head, the horse ran abruptly stopped, people and horses burned, turned into a cloud of black smoke in the rainstorm, and then fell softly......

"Don't look, keep going!" Li Yue waved his hand.

"Plug the horse's ears with strips of cloth." In a hurry, Liu Gaozhi thought of a way.

The soldiers hurriedly did so, and sure enough, the war horse's mood was much calmer, and he was no longer so frightened, and quickly went north.

However, there were still many cavalry horses stuck in the quagmire, and Li Yue couldn't take care of them for the time being, and after the rainstorm, they would naturally catch up.

The Black Cloud Army has extremely strong wilderness survival experience, and as long as they are not struck by lightning, this difficulty will not stop them.

Dark clouds are surging, thunder and lightning are dancing, and torrential rain is pouring down.

The early autumn rainstorm came and went quickly, and after half an hour, the rainstorm stopped, and the sky was still gloomy, as if it was still unfinished.

Fortunately, when they finally arrived at Jingling, the people hurriedly came up to lead the horses and handed over the hot meat soup.

Along the way, scouts saddle up and prepare in advance for the army.

This great battle not only relied on the soldiers to charge into battle, but also relied on the national strength of both sides.

Wang Meng mobilized 70,000 or 80,000 people in the rear, and set up two supply lines in Jingxiang.

From Luoyang and Xuchang to Wancheng and Xiangyang, and then take the Han River to the downstream, and one from Xiangyang to Jiangling.

Although the Eastern Front had the largest number of troops, because of the canal, there was little logistical pressure.

After receiving supplies in Jingling and resting for two hours, Li Yue ordered all the soldiers to change into leather armor and move forward lightly.

The dark clouds were still surging, and the thunder was faint in the sky.

However, the soldiers had already adapted, and some people hugged the horses' necks and continued to nap.

The cavalry is a clutched army, like a wild goose, and all the horses will follow a few leading horses, and there is no need for the soldiers to control them all the time.

Affected by the heavy rain, the swampy lake flooded, the water flooded the horses' hooves, and there were half a big fish with thick arms on the road to drill into people, making a fishy smell.

All kinds of waterfowl also come out to feed at this time, grazing the surface of the river and scurrying into the low dark clouds.

The sky and the earth were still gray, and the fog rose to obscure both shores.

Only the sound of the wind whimpering, and the faint smell of blood around it, and the stench of corpses, it was these smells that attracted fish and birds.

Li Yue glanced at it, and in the mud of water and grass, there were corpses that had not had time to clean up.

The muddy water around it turned a rotten black.

Since the corpse appeared here, it means that there was also a great war here.

"Xie Xuan made a surprise attack two days ago, and the soldiers resisted to the death, repelled the enemy army, and asked His Majesty to return to Jingling for temporary refuge." Cao Kan was covered in blood, his lips were white, and his right shoulder was drooping, obviously injured.

The main force of the Beifu Army that could repel Xie Xuan with the Zhen Army, Li Yue was immediately impressed by it, "General Cao has worked hard. ”

"The last general is ashamed, there are only 1,000 enemy troops attacking the camp, and our army has suffered many casualties." Cao Kan added.

Since he dared to attack the battalion, he must be the elite of the Beifu army.

Zhang Liao's 800 infantry soldiers also cut down Sun Quan's 100,000 troops and killed Sun Quan's teeth......

Cao Kan can block them, and it is not simple.

"What is there to be ashamed of being able to repel the elite of Beifu and defend the camp? If I have come, how can I return? If he dares to come again, I will surely not be able to go back. Li Yue said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty......" Cao Kan is an old ministry after all, and he looked worried.

"Don't worry, I'm not a powerless scholar!" Li Yue raised the long sword at his waist, wishing that Xie Xuan could attack the camp again.

"Yui." Cao Kan gave up.

Li Yue let the navy come over, and in order to entangle Xie Xuan, the navy suffered a large loss, but fortunately, more than 100 small boats were left.

As long as the Yangtze River is crossed, the Beifu Army in Xie Xuan's hands is like fish on the chopping board.

"Xiakou is turbulent, frontal attack, the enemy must be prepared, the last general is willing to lead 5,000 elite cavalry to cross the river from Wuchang downstream, counterattack Xiakou, wait for the enemy army to panic, His Majesty will send another army to attack from Xia Wei, attack on both sides, Xie Xuan wings and flee south." Liu Gaozhi arched his hand.

Li Yue's eyes lit up, Liu Gaozhi has been silent in the past few years, and he has already taken the appearance of a general.

Suddenly it occurred to me that Liu Gaozhi was very different from Zhang Oy.

Zhang Oyster is a savage from Bingzhou, starting from the sea of corpses and blood, charging into battle, unparalleled in the world.

After Liu Gaozhi's gate, both civil and military, know how to use his brain, Pengcheng Liu family has been martial arts for generations, and his ancestor Liu Xi was the Taishou of Yanmen in the Western Jin Dynasty.

"Yes!" Li Yue nodded in agreement, and then put a few words close to his ear.

Liu Gaozhi was surprised at first, and then looked admiring, "Your Majesty uses soldiers like a god!" ”

"Go, the navy will send you across the river."

The attacker moves above the nine heavens, and the advantage of the cavalry is in two words, moving and fast.

If the enemy is unprepared, he will attack, and if the enemy is prepared, he will leave, and he will come and go without a trace.

In the midst of the turmoil, five thousand elite horses rode eastward, and the sailors on the river drove downstream in a drowsiness.

Li Yue ordered the soldiers to take turns to rest and recuperate, and lay down in armor.

At the command, someone immediately fell asleep on the hay.

Li Yue himself was too tired, so he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and fell asleep.
