Chapter 445 (2/2)

Since Ji Ling led his army to retreat, Xu Huang pursued him with his tail in his head. After Ji Ling's army, he immediately followed Ji Ling's army as soon as possible.

Several times before, Ji Ling Jun failed to respond and was killed by Xu Huang one after another. Later, Ji Ling army was on guard. As soon as he saw Xu Huang and his cavalry rushing up, he immediately arranged a series of formations. Xu Huang didn't pay attention and was shot dozens of people.

After that, as long as he was within the range of the enemy's Crossbow men, Xu Huang immediately turned around and left, never rushing directly. Because Xu Huang led the army to harass him, Ji Lingjun's march speed was only about 40 Li a day, which was extremely slow. Now it is the fourth day, but Ji Ling has just arrived at Dingling. It is two days before he can reach Yan County, and five days later he can return to Runan County.

After Xu Huang led the cavalry to retreat, he did not travel much until he saw the flag standing in the wind with a pole.

”Elder brother Yun!” Xu Huang rushed forward and said hello to Guan Yu.

”Gongming, thanks to you.” Guan Yu gently stroked his long beard and said with a smile, ”Ji Ling's army can only March at a high speed now, but he doesn't know how to be more subdued.”

After Ji Ling retreated from Yingyang City, Xu Huang attacked him with his iron horse. However, Guan Yu was not satisfied with being besieged by Ji Ling for several days. So he left more than 2000 young men and his eldest son Guan Ping to defend the city, and led 3000 troops out of the city to pursue Ji Ling army.

Under the harassment of Xu Huang, Ji Ling Jun can only move slowly, while Guan Yu army keeps a fast speed. Xu Huang and Guan Yu army merge to kill Ji Ling.

”Elder brother Yun, did Xuande reply to the letter?” Xu Huang asked.

”Well.” Guan Yu nodded and replied, ”the elder brother ordered Cao Bao to guard the state of Chen. He personally led 5000 elite soldiers and his third younger brother. He had already passed the northern part of Runan County from Changping. Now it is almost time to enter Yingchuan county.”

”Good!”

Xu Huang clenched his fist tightly and said, ”when Xuande Gong's troops and horses arrive, you and I will fight back and forth, and discipline Ji Ling will come, but I can't go back!”

Guan Yu thought it was a good time to weaken Yuan Shu's army. Therefore, he wrote a letter to Liu Bei and analyzed the situation of Ji Ling's headquarters in detail. He thought that it was a good time for Ji Ling's army to march slowly, lack of food and grass, and demoralized morale.After a period of discussion with Xu Huang, Xu Huang was originally a bold soldier. After hearing about Guan Yu's plan to attack more than 20000 troops of Ji Ling with 10000 men, he resolutely agreed to it.

Therefore, in recent days, Xu Huang constantly harassed Ji Lingjun with cavalry, slowed down its march speed, and made its food and grass consumption self collapse without fighting. On the one hand, it was also to delay time as much as possible until Liu Bei led his army from Chen state to encircle Ji Lingjun's headquarters.

Attention, we must Guan Yu suddenly said: ”Gongming, you lead the troops to attack and disturb, which has delayed the speed of Ji Ling's March. Maybe this club will march secretly at night, which can't be prevented.”

”Ha ha, don't worry, elder brother Yun.” Xu Huang showed a confident smile: ”in the evening, I also arranged a number of sentry posts, always following Ji Lingjun. Once I see Ji Lingjun's change, I will naturally come to report.”

”His sight is not clear at night. If Ji Ling marches at night, after he is found out by our army, all he needs is a surprise attack and he will be in disorder. At that time, Ji Ling will collapse without fighting, but there is no need for Xuande Gong.” Xu Huang said with a smile.

Guan Yu nodded and said firmly: ”well, this time we must let Ji Ling stay in Yingchuan County forever!”

Xu Huang led troops to harass Ji Ling's side. Ji Ling marched slowly and finally arrived at Dingling two days later. After Ji Ling ordered people to collect a batch of grain and grass from Dingling, he ordered the whole army to retreat to Yan County.

”Big brother, Yan county is ahead!”

Liu Bei nodded: ”well, Yan county is located at the intersection of Yingchuan county and Runan County. Ji Ling must not be allowed to cross Yan County.”

In the night, a big flag with the character of Liu was flapping in the wind. Liu Bei had a sword on both sides of his waist. Behind him stood Zhang Fei, holding Zhangba snake spear. Behind him were 5000 soldiers, including Danyang soldiers and Yuzhou soldiers.
