Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 43: Liu Feng shows his heroic spirit again
Although he was angry, it was not Liu Feng's character to complain about himself.

there is always a solution to a problem.

Liu Feng has experienced life-and-death situations more than once over the years.

As Liu Bei's adopted son, Liu Feng was not a dandy boy who was only good at writing poetry, but a brave warrior on the battlefield who dared to charge into battle.

Fifty riders lined up on the road to take a rest and regain their strength.

Liu Feng also ordered several scouts to scout the enemy situation ahead.

The specific route taken by Guan Yu's family to Linju must not be discovered by the Wu soldiers, and the grain and rice purchased by Kou Anguo and his hundred men must not be abandoned.

Liu Feng wanted to bring Guan Yu's family back to Linju safely, rather than fleeing back to Linju in a panic while being pursued by Wu soldiers.

If Liu Feng caught any disease due to the cold and damp weather, all his work would be in vain.

therefore.

Liu Feng had to lure away the Wu soldiers who were pursuing him.

And in the front.

Tian Qi had already passed on the news of the loss of Jiangling City to Hu's ears.

Upon hearing that Jiangling City was captured by Wu soldiers, even though Hu had been through a lot and had a strong mentality, he couldn't help but change his expression at this moment.

"Captain Tian, what instructions does nephew Liu have for you?" Hu suppressed her inner shock and asked Tian Qi about Liu Feng's thoughts.

Hu knew very well that in this dangerous situation, he must absolutely cooperate with Liu Feng in order not to cause trouble for Liu Feng.

Tian Qi secretly marveled at Hu's calmness and rationality, and reported: "The general asked Guan Junhou to take his wife and others to Linju first, and he stayed behind to stop the enemy."

Hu's heart trembled.

Liu Feng is going to cover the retreat himself!
"I understand." Mrs. Hu said without hesitation: "Please ask Captain Tian to tell my nephew Liu that I will inform the former general of the escort today tomorrow."

Done.

Hu immediately summoned the military commander Guan Xiong and told him that Jiangling had fallen and that he should go to Linju immediately.

Guan Xiong was also horrified.

Just one day later, Jiangling City was lost?

Although he was shocked, Guan Xiong, as a fellow townsman and veteran of Guan Yu, and a military officer specially arranged by Guan Yu to protect his family, had extraordinary psychological qualities.

Guan Xiong quickly adjusted his mentality, immediately summoned the school swordsmen and arranged a new guard deployment, and quickly evacuated towards Linju with the Hu family members.

Kou Anguo approached Tian Qi, looking dissatisfied: "Captain Tian, as a personal guard, how can you let the general go alone? You take the food and go first, I will go find the general."

Tian Qi shouted, "Do you think I don't want to cover the general's retreat? This is the general's military order! I have to go and send a message to Fang Yue and others now, so I don't have time to transport food for you."

"You must transport the grain quickly. This batch of grain must not be lost. Otherwise, the general will blame you. Even if you are a member of the Kou family, you will not be able to bear the blame."

Kou Anguo was feeling anxious, but he didn't dare to lose the food, so he could only order his soldiers to move forward quickly.

Tian Qi rode his horse to look for Fang Yuesi, the fourth general.

When Liu Feng came, he asked Fang Yue and his four generals to lead the naval and land infantry and cavalry and distribute them in the area from Linju to Dangyang to prevent any accidents.

While everyone was retreating, Wu general Ma Zhong also led 500 soldiers to follow the trail.

Although Liu Feng had taken Guan Yu's family away yesterday, it was already late and cold at night, so they only walked five miles before setting up camp to rest.

Although there was a march early this morning, the pace was not fast.

When Liu Feng and his group learned the news of Jiangling's change of ownership, they were only fifteen miles away from Jiangling City.

For a large army, a march of fifteen miles would take half a day.

But if it was just a light-army pursuit, fifteen miles would take less than an hour.

"General, we have found traces of Han soldiers on the road ahead, about fifty of them." The Wu scout told Wu general Ma Zhong all the information he had obtained.

Ma Zhong couldn't help but frown. According to the intelligence, Kou Anguo's 100 purchasing soldiers were all infantrymen who pushed carts.

The sudden appearance of these fifty cavalrymen was not within Ma Zhong's known intelligence.

"All troops on alert."

Ma Zhong did not dare to be careless and divided the 500 soldiers into two groups, one to scout out and the other to provide support.

Carefully chased to the main road.

Seeing the fifty riders in front of him, each riding their horses and holding their spears in a majestic manner, Ma Zhong subconsciously felt a chill in his heart.

Especially the leading general, who was tall and strong, like an adult giant bear standing on the road, which was chilling.

"Who is blocking the road ahead?"

Ma Zhong cautiously sent his deputy to ask questions, then secretly took out his bow and arrow and waited for the opportunity.

When Liu Feng saw the big words "Liang Jiangjun Ma" on Wu Bing's flag, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Among those under Sun Quan with the surname Ma, Liu Feng only remembered one, Ma Zhong.

He was jokingly called the best archer in Jiangdong after Taishi Ci.

In order to delay time and interfere with Lu Meng's judgment, Liu Feng did not give his real name but a false name.

"Guan Sheng, the former general's lieutenant, is here. Judging from your flags and armor, you must be from Jiangdong. Why are you here?"

Ma Zhong searched his mind carefully, but had no impression of "Captain Guan Sheng" at all.

It seems that he is just an unknown person, probably a newly promoted captain.

Ma Zhong secretly despised Guan Sheng in his heart and began to look down on him.

"I am Ma Zhong, a lieutenant under the command of Commander Lu of Lukou. The Wuling barbarians rebelled, and the prefect Mi of Nanjun asked Commander Lu to send troops to help. Today, I heard that there were traces of barbarian soldiers outside the city, so I went out of the city to investigate. I never thought that I would meet Commander Guan."

Ma Zhong made up an excuse to go into battle, and secretly signaled to the military school students around him, preparing to encircle the cavalry in front of him.

But such a small trick could not be hidden from Liu Feng, who was experienced in many battles.

Liu Feng laughed when he heard this: "So you are the soldiers of Commander Lu. I am so sorry for your disrespect. Please tell Commander Lu that I thank you for your help. I have something important to attend to, so I will not stay here. I will leave now."

Seeing Liu Feng running away with the cavalry, Ma Zhong's face changed drastically: "Not good! This man must be going to Fancheng to report the news! Hurry and surround him!"

Now that Jiangling has just been conquered, the people have not yet accepted it, and the counties have not yet changed their flags.

Lu Meng also needs time to calm the people.

Guan Yu’s family members wanted to chase him, and the “Guan Sheng” in front of him could not be let go.

Because Liu Feng deliberately lured the enemy, the fifty cavalrymen did not run very fast. In Ma Zhong's eyes, "this cavalry was tired from traveling from a distance."

Although cavalry can run faster than infantry, war horses do not have as much endurance as humans.

It is not uncommon to be tired from traveling a long distance.

Based on this understanding, Ma Zhong was certain that he would be able to catch up with this cavalry as long as he kept chasing.

Looking at the Wu soldiers who were chasing him relentlessly, Liu Feng sneered and continued to fight while retreating, always maintaining a sense of tug-of-war that made Ma Zhong feel that "even if I only have infantry, I can catch up with the cavalry."

This dragged on for an hour.

Liu Feng was "stuck" at the riverside.

"Run! Keep running! Let me see how you run now!" Looking at the river blocking the road ahead, Ma Zhong's mood became cheerful, and his eyes became a little redder.

This red is not anger, but greed.

If we kill this cavalry in front of us, we can seize fifty war horses!
This is a war horse!
For the generals of Jiangdong, war horses are more valuable than gold!

"Pass on my military order: you are not allowed to shoot the horses or cut their legs. I want all these war horses!" Ma Zhong licked his cracked lips excitedly.
