System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Therefore, the marching speed is naturally not comparable to that of a troop of 10,000 or 20,000 or even several thousand people.

Even if Cao Cao got angry, he could only travel twenty or thirty miles a day at most.

"General Gao, there shouldn't be any problem storing water there, right?"

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang He and asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, this little thing will definitely not go wrong."

"Ziguan, this kid, has loved playing in the water since he was young."

Zhang He smiled and comforted him.

"coming!"

At this moment, Xun Yu saw a cavalryman rushing towards the city from outside.

Obviously he came back to report the news.

"Hehe, finally we can have a good fight."

"It feels great to think that the Jizhou army can't even get a bowl of soup."

Zhang He chuckled and rubbed his fists.

"Jun Yi...Aren't you also from the Jizhou Army?"

Huang Zhong's eyes twitched slightly, and he spoke speechlessly.

"Because of this, think about the other brothers in the Jizhou Army who can't even drink soup, while I, a fellow Jizhou Army soldier, can make great contributions."

"Tsk tsk!"

"Cool!"

The smile on Zhang He's face became even wider.

"hehe."

Xun Yu chuckled and shook his head, obviously feeling helpless.

"Report!"

"Your Excellency, Generals."

"Cao's army has stopped advancing twenty miles away, probably preparing to set up camp."

"I think it won't be long before scouts come to investigate the situation."

The scout reported to everyone.

"That's really cautious."

"Even if we return to Yanzhou, we will march with such caution."

Hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't help but admire Cao Cao's prudence.

Cao Cao's caution forced Xun Yu to respond.

Fortunately, the distance of only twenty miles was enough for a water attack to succeed.

Twenty li in the Han Dynasty is actually roughly equivalent to eight kilometers today.

It is not difficult to carry out a long-planned water attack and turn dozens of miles of land into a swamp.

Besides, Xun Yu never thought that using water attack could cause heavy casualties to Cao Cao.

What he wanted more was to delay Cao Cao's return and buy enough time for the main army to capture Yanzhou.

"General Huang, I heard that you are skilled in archery and horsemanship, and you can shoot an arrow through the air from a hundred paces away."

"Please go out of the city and shoot the enemy scouts, so that Cao Cao won't waste more time setting up camp."

Xun Yu looked at Huang Zhong and said with a smile.

"The last general takes command!"

Huang Zhong bowed and responded confidently.

"Master, everyone is skilled in archery and horsemanship."

Zhang He was eager to try and rubbed his hands.

"General Zhang, General Zhang Liao hasn't arrived yet. The army still needs you to lead and coordinate."

Xun Yu shook his head speechlessly.

"That's...okay."

After hearing what Xun Yu said, Zhang He felt much more relieved.

"Jun Yi, if you want to go, that's fine. Then why don't you let me command the army?"

Huang Zhong looked at Zhang He with a smile.

"grass!"

"Don't even think about it."

Zhang He's face darkened and he decisively rejected the proposal.

joke.

Compared to shooting a few scouts, commanding the army obviously has greater merit, okay?

"Master, Junyi, I will go first."

"I'll leave this to you."

Huang Zhong cupped his hands and said seriously.

"General, please be careful and don't get yourself into danger."

"In one hour, regardless of whether the enemy still has scouts, General, you must withdraw."

Xun Yu returned the greeting with a bow and spoke solemnly.

"Do not worry!"

Huang Zhong nodded, picked up his weapon and strode down the city wall.

Not long after, Huang Zhong left Changyi alone, riding a red charcoal fire dragon horse, with a large bow at his waist and a phoenix-beak knife in his hand.

"Will Old Huang be in danger?"

"If enough scouts are killed, the enemy will definitely become aware of it."

"If they send troops to investigate, it would be very dangerous for Old Huang to encounter them."

Zhang He looked at Xun Yu with some concern.

"Although we currently have some low-ranking officers in our army, they are not enough to accomplish anything."

"General Zhang needs to stay in the army, so letting General Huang act alone is a helpless move."

Xun Yu sighed and said with a wry smile.

Since there was a shortage of civil servants, he could use his connections to attract some friends and former officials.

But as a military general, he really doesn't have any connections.

"Let me go."

At this moment, a young man wearing a soldier's crotch armor spoke.
