Chapter 573 (1/2)

After receiving the order, Li Yan immediately led 5000 men and horses from Nanyang and took a boat to the south along the Han River. Although Cai Mao's army was close to Yuyang, the Jingzhou navy was going against the water, while Li Yan was following the water, so he was one step ahead of the Jingzhou Army.

On the Han River, a huge fleet was moving slowly. In addition to the boats and boats, there was even a three story fighting ship. The high open sail was blowing with the wind, and the fighting ship was like a sword splitting the waves.

On the top of the battleship was a general flag with the character of ”Cai”. On the bow of the boat stood a Jingzhou general with a pale yellow face and a moustache on his lips. He looked forward with high spirits.

”How long will it take to reach Yuyang?” Cai Mao turned and asked.

”Don't worry, big brother. You can get to Yuyang this afternoon.” The general's face was similar to that of CAI Mao. It was Cai Mao's younger brother, Cai Zhong.

”Well, after the attack on Yuyang, there will be no danger in Nanyang County. When the time comes, our army will march straight in and take Wancheng in one fell swoop.” Cai Mao said confidently.

”Congratulations, brother.” Cai Zhong said with a smile: ”Nanyang County is the north gate of Jingzhou. If Nanyang County can be recovered, the reputation of the eldest brother will surely surpass that of Kuai Zi, and the State animal husbandry will certainly rely on it.”

Cai Mao said with a smile: ”it's natural. At that time, our Cai family will be much more powerful than the Kuai family. You can make more contributions to the war, and the elder brother can recommend you to guard the side. Do you know?”

”Thank you very much for your cultivation.”

”Governor Cai, there is Yuyang in front of you 15 li away!”

Cai Mao looked forward and saw the outline of a city in the distance. His eyes narrowed slightly.

On the top of Yuyang City, Li Yan was dressed all over his body and pressed his sword in his hand. He stood still like a majestic statue and watched from afar.

”Jingzhou army is coming, get ready!”

Hearing Li Yan's command, the whole Yuyang city was immediately mobilized. However, under Li Yan's command, it was in good order, like a highly operational gear, busy but not chaotic. Thousands and hundreds of soldiers went up and down the stairs at the head of the city, carrying arrows, rolling wood and stone siege equipment. The atmosphere of facing the war was very strong.

At last, the warship of Jingzhou is no longer a warship in the sea, but the flag of a warship is flying in the sky 。

”Listen to the Nanyang army in the city! With a hundred thousand troops in Jingzhou, we can easily level down the small town of Yuyang. We will give you half an hour to think about it and surrender immediately. Otherwise, we will break the city and we will not leave any chickens or dogs behind! ”

The soldiers on the Jingzhou warship kept shouting at the head of Yuyang City, but Li Yan was not moved.

”Well, it's really noisy!”

Li yanleng snorted, reached out and said, ”take the bow and arrow!”

A soldier came forward and handed a pair of bows and arrows to Li Yan's hand. Without saying a word, Li Yan set up his bow and aimed at the Jingzhou soldiers who were still shouting on the warship.

Zhiya - the wolf tooth arrow was pulled by Li Yan and aimed at the throat of Jingzhou soldiers.

Whoosh!

The wolf tooth arrow shot out of the air and sent out a sharp whistling sound. Unfortunately, it just hit the throat of the Jingzhou soldier.

”Listen up, the Nanyang army in the city, surrender quickly, or --”
