Chapter 67: The ambush

Everyone was shocked to see A Dou running so fast. Before A Dou, there were people in this world who ran faster than war horses. Legend has it that Hu Cheer, the general under Zhang Xiu, could carry 500 kilograms of things and travel 700 miles a day. Traveling 700 miles a day is three points faster than ordinary war horses. For ordinary war horses, walking 600 miles a day, it is fast. A BMW horse like Red Rabbit, which travels thousands of miles a day, is only a handful of BMW horses in the world.

Speaking of which, Adou did not run with all his strength. Otherwise, with the speed of Audou's light skills flying up, 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 that of Liangzhou horses and Youzhou horses, let alone compared to the more excellent war horses on the grassland. So if A Dou runs faster, these Jiangdong people may not be able to keep up. If everyone behind him rides horses of the Red Rabbit to chase him, A Dou will be afraid of three points, but looking at the Jiangdong horses behind him, A Dou can ensure his safety by running around.

"Kill him!" Lu Meng shouted, constantly slapping the war horse under his crotch. Jiang Qin followed Lu Meng tightly.

I saw Lu Meng suddenly drew out his bow and arrow and pointed it at Adou with an arrow. However, it was not easy to practice riding and shooting. Moreover, Lu Meng's ability to shoot arrows was still much worse than that of Huang Zhong and others, so the arrow shot over and was far away.

Jiang Qin looked at the arrow and frowned slightly. This riding shooting was not what Lu Meng was good at, but why did Lu Meng still shoot this arrow? This is not like the steady Lu Meng who usually is!

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 before. At this time, a trace of worry gradually arose in Jiang Qin's heart. What happened to Lu Meng today? He was so out of control.

The infantrymen naturally did not lead the way faster than the generals who rode horses, and the riding skills of riders were different from the speed of horses, so gradually, the square formation became a cone formation, and the cone formation became a long snake formation.

After more than twenty miles, the distance between the riders and the infantry was wide open. Lu Meng took the lead, and Jiang Qin followed closely behind with more than 400 cavalrymen. As for the infantry, they were gradually thrown away.

A Dou looked back and Lu Meng rushed towards him with a big sword in a desperate situation. Looking at Lu Meng's expression, as if he was his father-killing enemy, A Dou shook his head in confusion. Isn't it just killing Zhu Ran, wouldn't it be so angry? Could it be that Zhu Ran is your relative?

After thinking about it, A Dou's feet did not stop. A Dou ran while calculating the distance between the two sides, and at the same time slightly accelerated the journey, and unknowingly distanced him from Lu Meng.

Lu Meng's mind was full of avenging Zhou Yu, and he had lost his mind. Seeing the distance between the two sides gradually widened, he felt even more anxious. Lu Meng didn't care about saving his horsepower at this time, and slapped the war horse under his crotch hard. The war horse was in pain and ran away desperately. Jiang Qin followed him even harder.

After chasing for an hour, everyone finally arrived at a relatively narrow area. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with Jingshan to the west and Xiangjiang to the east.

Jiang Qin glanced west and found that the rolling Jingshan Mountain was far west. A gust of wind blew from the north, bringing a little coolness. Jiang Qin could even smell the Xiangjiang River water in the wind.

Jiang Qin looked back and found that the infantry behind him had disappeared. When he wanted to look around, there were only a few hundred knights left by his side.

After all, Jiang Qin has been in charge of troops for many years. Although Jiang Qin is good at water warfare, when it comes to land warfare, Jiang Qin is not vague. Now there are only a few hundred people around him. If he goes deep into the army alone, he may be in danger.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qin hurriedly shouted: "Governor, stop chasing me. Here we are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the road is narrow. We are alone and deep. If we are ambushed, we may be wiped out!"

It seemed as if it was confirming what Jiang Qin said. At this moment, a gong sounded and a group of people emerged from the western mountain. The general led by the leader was Liao Hua, with more than two thousand people behind him.

"No, if there is an ambush, the governor will retreat quickly!" Jiang Qin shouted hurriedly.

At the same time, there was dust flying in front of me. Then, a large flag appeared on the horizon, with a golden word "guan" embroidered on it. Then a general appeared under the banner, riding a red horse, wearing a green robe, lying on the mulberry eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a face like winter dates. A long beard fluttered with the wind, and the green dragon and moon knife in his hand emitted a burst of cold air.

"Guan Yu!" Lu Meng shouted. When Lu Meng saw Guan Yu, he finally woke up. At this time, Lu Meng looked around and found that there were only a few hundred cavalry around him. Lu Meng was not good at calling him secretly, knowing that he was ambushing this time.

"Retreat quickly!" Lu Meng shouted and was about to retreat. At this time, Lu Meng was surrounded by cavalry, while Guan Yu and Liao Hua were mostly infantrymen, so Lu Meng believed that he could get rid of Guan Yu and escape with speed.

Lu Meng walked back only a mile and found a team of people blocking the middle of the road in the distance. The team was about 5,000. The middle-aged general was the leader, holding a big knife in his hand, which was Guan Ping.

Seeing Guan Ping, Lu Meng's heart suddenly sank. Guan Ping's martial arts are no worse than Guan Yu's. I'm afraid no one of his generals can survive the Guan Ping's three-way match. 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 to wait for him to take the bait. He had already been trapped since the young man appeared. The young man deliberately took Zhu Ran's head and came alone with the purpose of luring Lu Meng to chase him. The young man had already calculated that his cavalry troops would distance themselves from the infantry troops, and then ambush him. With Guan Yu's army of 10,000, it would be easy to eat hundreds of his people.

I didn't see through such a simple trick. I was really confused. I didn't expect that I would fall into such a dangerous situation when I was impulsive.

It is definitely impossible to break through from behind with 5,000 troops behind. It seems that the other party is guarding against him to escape from behind. If he breaks forward, he is Guan Yu on the other side, and the road ahead leads to Xiangyang, which is no different from dying. As for going west, it is even more impossible. Although Liao Hua is fewer people in the west, there are ups and downs in Jingshan, and he cannot ride a horse in the mountains. Breaking through west is equivalent to giving up the advantage of cavalry. He has few people on his side. If he loses the speed advantage of cavalry again, it will be even more difficult to break through.

It seems that I can only think about leaving the east side! But the east side is Xiangjiang

"Go east!" Lu Meng shouted and immediately took people eastward.

"General, Xiangjiang is on the east side!" Jiang Qin said immediately.

"Hmph, do we have any choice in this situation? I just hope that Xiangjiang River can cross the river now with shallow water!" Lu Meng said.

This is the middle reaches of the Xiangjiang River, which is closer to the Yangtze River. In addition, 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 Xiangjiang River will be relatively small, so Lu Meng decided to take a gamble. If the water is shallow, maybe you can cross the river. If you are lucky, you will encounter a few boats, which will be even better.

Zhou Cang looked at Lu Meng from afar and immediately said to Guan Yu: "General, this Lu Meng is indeed going east as the young master wants!"

Guan Yu nodded. Adou's plan was indeed good. He just used himself to lure the enemy. The situation was too dangerous. However, the place chosen by Adou is really good and suitable for ambushing. I really don't know how he found such a good place. He probably couldn't find such a good place to ambush Lu Meng for many years in Jingzhou.

Adou is naturally very familiar with the Jingshan area, because this area is not just Jingshan. In the era of Adou, there was a mountain more famous than Jingshan in this area, that is Wudang Mountain. Adou lived in Wudang for more than 20 years, so there are mountains and depressions nearby, so Audou can count it with his eyes closed.

It seems to be dangerous to lure the enemy alone, but A Dou has a clear idea. In fact, the most ideal person to lure the enemy in A Dou is Guan Yu. After all, Lu Meng is now coming to Guan Yu. If Guan Yu appears, it would be strange if Lu Meng doesn't chase him. Moreover, Guan Yu's Red Rabbit Horse is fast, and Lu Meng and others will definitely not be able to catch up.

But thinking about whether this trip was just to save Guan Yu, if Guan Gong was so angry that he saw Lu Meng going up to fight him again and trapping him in, it would be more than worth the loss, so Adou decided to go and seduce the enemy by himself. Unexpectedly, Lu Meng remembered the fact that Adou made bad things on Zhou Yu's coffin back then, and just tempted Lu Meng.

Guan Yu waved his sword and said, "Tell me the order and chase me immediately! It would be best if I could capture Lu Meng. If I could not capture Lu Meng, then the hundreds of people around Lu Meng could not let go!

"The last one will receive orders!"

With Guan Yu's order, Guan Ping, Liao Hua and the people from Guan Yu's headquarters immediately went east to pursue Lu Meng.

By the Xiang River.

Lu Meng finally arrived at the riverside. It is winter now, making the river surface much narrower than in summer. The river water flows slowly. From this place, if you go down along the Xiang River, you can directly merge into the Yangtze River to reach the Sanjiangkou. If you cross the river, you can also reach the vicinity of Jiangxia along the river to the southeast. These Sanjiangkou and Jiangxia are both Sun Quan's territory.

"Governor, I'll try the depth of the river!" Jiang Qin said, taking off his armor and clothes and jumping out of the river.

It is winter now, and the river water is naturally extremely cold, but Jiang Qin is the water general. He said that water wars are the ones that Jiang Qin is the most capable of, and among the people, Jiang Qin is the one with the best water quality.

At this moment, a black spot floated over the upper reaches of Xiangjiang River. Jiang Qin looked carefully and saw a small boat getting closer and closer, slowly heading towards this side.

"Governor, look, there is a boat!" Jiang Qin pointed upstream, and everyone's eyes were focused.

Jiang Qin ran a few steps, came to the riverside, and shouted loudly: "Boat, come to dock! Come to dock quickly!"

The boat seemed to hear Jiang Qin's voice, and it really leaned towards Jiang Qin.

When the boat got closer, everyone realized that it was just a small fishing boat, which could sit at most three or four people.

In fact, it is winter now, and the water level of the Xiangjiang River is far lower than that in summer, so only small fishing boats can pass through. If the warship comes here, it may even be stranded.

Finally, the boat got closer and closer. A boatman stood on the bow of the boat, wearing a straw raincoat, and a hat on the edge of the head covered his face.

At the same time, Guan Yu's army could be vaguely seen from afar.

"Dong Yi, this ship is too small! It can't accommodate us at all!" Lu Meng said to Jiang Qin.

"Governor, don't worry about so much, you should get on the boat quickly and leave it to me!" 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 him to escape.

"No, I can't leave you behind!" Lu Meng said firmly.

"Governor, go quickly, Guan Yu is about to chase him!"

"No, I won't leave! I can't leave you!"

"Governor, Jiangdong can be without me, Jiang Qin, but it is absolutely impossible to be without a Governor!"

"Dung Yi..." Lu Meng wanted to say something else.

But at this time, Jiang Qin knelt down: "Please get on the ship quickly!"

As Jiang Qin knelt down, hundreds of knights behind him also dismounted and knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "Please upload it quickly!"

"Governor, don't hesitate, get on the boat! The lord needs you, Jiangdong needs you!" Jiang Qin continued to persuade.

"But you...if I run away alone and leave you here, how can I be worthy of you!"

"Governor, if you don't leave, we will all die here when Guan Yu chases you! Governor, if you feel sorry for us, then you must avenge us when you go back!"

"Yes, Governor, you must go back and avenge us!"

Lu Meng looked at the hundreds of knights kneeling beside him, and tears couldn't help but slid down from his eyes. If he hadn't been blinded by anger, he wouldn't have led his troops to chase him, and then everyone wouldn't have had to fall into such a situation, and something in front of him wouldn't have happened.

All of 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 incompetent to kill thousands of troops, and the ancients did not deceive me!

Looking at Guan Yu who was gradually approaching in the distance, the big "Guan" on the flag fluttered with the wind, and a sense of powerlessness surged into Lu Meng's heart. Guan Yu is worthy of being a famous general in the world, and he still underestimated Guan Yu too much!

Just a few hours ago, Guan Yu was trapped in Maicheng, like a dog from a wreckage. However, after only a few hours, his position and Guan Yu changed. Now this dog from a wreckage has become him!

Guan Yu, Guan Yu, I can still think of such a plan when I escape. It seems that flooding the seven armies that day was not a lucky chance! I, Lu Meng, always thought that Guan Yu could achieve what he has today, but it was just a show of his ability. When it comes to using military forces, Lu Meng, I, Lu Meng, thinks that I am far stronger than you, but now it seems that I, Lu Meng, are indeed not as good as you!

Under the expectant gaze of the soldiers, Lu Meng finally got on the boat, and the boat gradually left the shore, while Jiang Qin and others had already gotten on the war horse on the river bank.

The big flag embroidered with the golden "Guan" is getting closer and closer, and Lu Meng on the boat clenched his fists tightly. Finally, Jiang Qin rushed up with hundreds of cavalry.

Jiang Qin waved his weapons hard, bringing pieces of minced meat, and blood splattered on Jiang Qin's face. Jiang Qin seemed to have no idea at all. He still rushed forward bravely. However, there were fewer and fewer knights around Jiang Qin.

"Jiang Qin, come with your life!" A loud shout came, and Liao Hua rushed over with his gun.

The spear turned into a strange arc and hit Jiang Qin's face. The impact of the horse made Liao Hua's gun extraordinary momentum. At this time, Jiang Qin had already had his eyes red. The spear in his hand danced, and also stabbed Liao Hua's choking throat, as if he was dying together.

Liao Hua would not die with Jiang Qin? In an instant, Liao Hua retracted his gun and drove away Jiang Qin's attack. Then Liao Hua flipped his wrist and the spear came just right to face Jiang Qin's route of retracting his gun.

Jiang Qin struggled to lift the spear that was attacking. At this moment, Jiang Qin saw a figure rushing towards him at an astonishing speed. On the battlefield, there is only one possibility that such speed is the Red Rabbit Horse! When Jiang Qin turned his head, a big sword had already slid into Jiang Qin's throat. Jiang Qin could even see the blue dragon on the big sword!

The next moment, Jiang Qin's head flew up, his eyes full of reluctance, and blood suddenly spurted out from the wound on Jiang Qin's neck, like a volcano erupting and it was difficult to deal with.

Guan Yu used a knife to lift Jiang Qin's head, narrowed his eyes and sighed slightly, "Jiang Qin, it would be worthwhile to die under Guan's knife..."

"General Guan is mighty!" Zhou Cang shouted behind him when he saw Guan Yu kill Jiang Qin with a second.

Zhou Cang had seen Guan Yu's sword many times, but he still couldn't get tired of seeing it. He held the sword and cut people in one go. Even a general like Yan Liang could not stop Guan Yu's shocking sword that shocked the world and the world.

On the boat, Lu Meng looked at the familiar figures falling down one by one, and Lu Meng's heart was bleeding. A quarter of an hour ago, these were still alive lives, but now they are just corpses.

After fighting for so many years, Lu Meng originally thought that he had become accustomed to separation from life and death, but now seeing these people fall down one by one, tears flowing down irresistibly.

When Guan Yu rushed towards Jiang Qin, Lu Meng had already shouted that Jiang Qin would be careful, but the sound of killing on the battlefield was shocking. How could Lu Meng's voice reach Jiang Qin's ears? Lu Meng could watch Jiang Qin's head cut off by Guan Yu.

"Brothers, I was the one who harmed you! I was the one who harmed you!" Lu Meng's speech was a little sucked. After a long time, Lu Meng raised his head, wiped away his tears, and said fiercely: "Guan Yu, and that white-clothed child, you can wait. In the future, I, Lu Meng, will definitely wait for the life of the dog to avenge my hundreds of soldiers!"

"Haha, Governor Lu, are you going to seek revenge on me? No more days, it's enough now!" A faint voice came from behind, and Lu Meng suddenly turned around, and the boatman was talking.

The boatman slowly took off his straw raincoat, took off the hat on his head, and raised his head. A gust of river wind blew, and the white clothes fluttered in the wind, and a bad smile appeared on his slightly tender face.
