Chapter 573

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 --"

"er...!"

An arrow just hit the throat of Jingzhou soldier, and the cry stopped suddenly. His face turned red. He pinched the arrow rod and tried to pull the arrow out of his neck. However, the harder he tried, the more blood he shed. He lost his footing and fell directly from the boat. The water was immediately dyed red by the blood from his body.

"Be careful!"

When Jingzhou soldiers saw that they were killed by an arrow from the enemy, they immediately exclaimed.

Whoosh!

Another arrow shot, and suddenly another Jingzhou soldier was shot on the boat and fell into the water. The Jingzhou water army was more flustered. Although it had not yet fought with the enemy, it was a little afraid.

"What's the panic?" Cai Zhong saw the Jingzhou soldiers around him, and he yelled at them.

"Jingzhou army, listen up! Those who are not afraid to die will come and taste my li Zhengfang's Magic Arrow. " Li Yan cried out: "if you retreat quickly, you will return it. If you offend me, you will not stay!"

"Nanyang is my Jingzhou County, but how did you become Nanyang?" Cai Zhong said angrily.

"I am a general of the imperial court. Is Nanyang not a county of the imperial court?" Li Yan said with a sneer: "there is no king's land in the whole world, and there is no king's minister who leads the land. Liu Biao, the son of disorderly officials and thieves, is named after the imperial clan. In fact, they help the tyrant. If you know how to return from the wrong path, you will be spared your life. "

"Damn it, you'll spare us our lives?" Cai Zhong's face was flushed for a moment. Forty thousand troops still needed a little Yuyang county to spare his life?

"Cai Zhong, step down."

Cai Mao cold channel."Yes, big brother." Although Cai Zhong was furious, he was obedient and retreated after hearing Cai Mao's words.

Cai Mao stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "listen to the garrison in the city. Our Jingzhou army of water and land is 100000. It is only between the two hands that we can defeat Yuyang. You should think clearly about whether we should resist or surrender!"

Li Yan sneered: "what nonsense? If you have the courage, see the real chapter. "

"Good!"

Cai Mao ordered: "prepare to attack the city!"

With his order, the Jingzhou army on the navy warship began to disembark and gradually landed. At the same time, the ladder and other things on the ship were carried up to prepare for a large-scale attack on the city.

Although the number of Jingzhou army is not as large as 100000, the number of 40000 troops is still very large. We should know that the total number of Nanyang army in Yuyang city is only 5000, and the enemy outside the city is eight times as much as that outside the city. Moreover, there are Navy warships, which naturally seems to be a huge scale.

The Nanyang soldiers on the top of the city saw the number of Jingzhou troops outside the city. They could not help but look nervous and clench their weapons.

When Li Yan saw this, he was calm and said, "don't be afraid. In those days, a thousand elite generals broke down 100000 Qiang soldiers. Now there are 5000 people in our army. What are you afraid of?"

"As long as you listen to my command, I guarantee that Yuyang city will not be lost."

Some of the frightened Nanyang soldiers felt relieved when they heard Li Yan's powerful words. They only felt that Li Yan was extremely tall. As long as he was there, it seemed that the sky would fall down.

At this time, the Jingzhou army outside the city had already taken down the ladder and set up the formation. Several soldiers were slowly approaching Yuyang City, and a dignified momentum gradually enveloped the city head.
