Lu Ning stretched out his tongue to them and made a face. Huang Yueying also stretched out her head and said, "Brother Ziyi, you have to be careful." Lu Ning nodded to them again and said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, I'll trouble you to guard the safety of the convoy."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu straightened his chest and said with great confidence: "Don't worry, Ziyi, please leave the safety of the convoy to me."

Lu Ning and the others advanced slowly. At hundreds of meters away from the bandits, Lu Ning ordered the preparation of the crossbows; there were about 2,000 bandits. Although they were heading towards the ordinary clothes of the people, judging from their formation and equipment, they were definitely regular soldiers. Lu Ning looked at the enemy in front of him and sneered again. When he entered the range of the crossbow arrows of Lu Ning's army, Lu Ning nodded to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

After hearing the order, the escorts, 150 soldiers in the first three rows used their crossbows to send fierce and fatal arrows to the enemy. In just a moment, 1,500 crossbow arrows shot into the enemy formation like raindrops. Only when the enemy formation was complaining, the enemy soldiers fell down one after another. When the enemy soldiers saw that Lu Ning's army had taken action, they also used the bows and arrows in their hands to shoot at Lu Ning's guards, but the range of the bows and arrows in their hands was really poor and they landed on the ground without shooting in front of the Lu Ning's army formation.

The Lu Ning army would give the enemy a chance. After the first three rows of soldiers shot a box of crossbow arrows in their hands, they retreated in an orderly manner, and the three rows of guards behind them stepped forward to shoot. Such repeated shootings were only three waves, leaving only eight or nine hundred of the two thousand enemies. At this time, the enemy's rear was attacked by a group of masked people, and they probably had dozens of people.

When Dian Wei saw that if he didn't attack, he would not even have any bones. He immediately led 500 guards to fight against the enemy. When Lu Ning rushed to prepare to fight with them, the battle was over. The two thousand enemy troops were basically killed, leaving only more than a dozen living people, and the group of masked men disappeared at the end of the battle.

Zhou Yu watched the entire battle process of the Lu Ning army from a distance, and saw that the two thousand enemy troops ended the battle in just a moment under the attack of Lu Ning's 500 soldiers. Such combat power really surprised him; and he also knew that this was an infantry battle. If it was a cavalry, the combat power would be even more unclear, because the cavalry of Lu Ning army was extremely powerful.

Dian Wei walked towards Lu Ning after exchanging the prisoner, and Lu Ning said, "Ziman, you need to say more. I know who sent it. Cut off the ears of the more than ten prisoners, and tell them who the ambushed was and let them go and report to their master."

Lu Ning, Zhou Yu and his team continued to move forward slowly, and while walking Lu Ning, he said to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, will your next battle be yourselves personally command the battle? You also know that I know nothing about water wars, and you have a deeper study of water wars. The next wave of enemies may have ten to twenty times our troops, which is not easy to fight."

Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Ning and said slowly, "Ziyi, I don't know your soldiers, and I don't know the situation of the troops. Are you not afraid of me making mistakes? The consequences will be serious."

After hearing this, Lu Ning burst into laughter. Zhou Yu would make mistakes in leading troops to fight. Unless the sun came out from the west, it was a joke. Of course, Lu Ning also wanted to observe and learn the skills and methods of water war. Lu Ning himself is indeed an amateur in water war. "Gongjin, I only have a thousand naval soldiers, four warships, and these five hundred guards, and nothing else. Of course, it would be an honor to see Gongjin make mistakes in commanding the battle."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhou Yu almost vomited blood. He glared at Lu Ning with his eyes and said, "Ziyi, aren't you forcing me to do short-term work? You are also allowed to make mistakes. Are you talking nonsense? If you make a mistake, then I can never raise my head in front of your army again. Besides, there are so many beauties watching. Do I dare to make a mistake?"

After noon, Lu Ning and his party boarded the warship. Ling Cao and others greeted Lu Ning and the others on the deck. After seeing the ceremony, Lu Ning said, "General Ling, are you still calm these two days?"

After hearing this, Ling Cao shook his head and said, "Lord, it's not calm. The Jingzhou Army's navy comes to observe every day. It almost opened fire last night. If they move forward a little further, they will have to stay."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and said to Dian Wei: "Ziman, help my father-in-law and the others arrange a resting place, and arrange lunch quickly. After lunch, we set sail; Gongjin, from now on, you have the final say on whether to leave or stop, and you have the final say on how to fight, I don't care. Ziman, take a pair of glasses to temporarily lend it to Gongjin for use, and take it back after the battle."

Dian Wei took a pair of lookout glasses and handed them to Zhou Yu. At first, Zhou Yu didn't care. After figuring out the function of lookout glasses, he realized that it was a treasure. Zhou Yu said to Lu Ning: "Ziyi, you are too stingy. Isn't it just a clairvoyant person? What's the matter if you give me a copy? You'll lend me a copy for the time being? What are you talking about? With such a relationship, you can't bear to give me a copy for the copy?"

After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and said apologetically to Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, we are indeed as close as brothers now. If it is weapons and armor, I will give it to you without any worries, including the equipment you are on, which is the best in the world. But as for the glasses you have now? I really can't give them to you. This is the special control item of our army. Even the generals under my hands must be handed over if they break their glasses. This is stipulated by the law, and I have no right to change them. You are the first outsider to visit my warship. No one has ever been on our warship except you. Now people outside don't know that I have such a powerful warship. Of course, Gongjin, there are other ways to look for glasses, just to see if you are willing?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu glared at Lu Ning, "Aren't you talking nonsense? If I could speak to you, I would have spoken out long ago, and I would have waited until now." "Okay, Ziyi, I'm just a little joke, you don't have to be too careful."

After lunch, Zhou Yu ordered to set off, and Lu Ning said to Dian Wei: "Ziman, since we cannot leave quietly, then leave openly and raise my battle flag."

Amid the sound of naval soldiers, Lu Ning's battle flag slowly rose. After looking at Lu Ning's battle flag, Da Qiao next to him laughed out loud and said to Lu Ning: "Brother, other people's battle flags are made of fierce animals such as tigers and beasts. The bear on the battle flag can be drawn..."

Da Qiao's words resonated with Xiao Qiao and Huang Yueying, and the three of them were laughing. Lu Ning looked at them and said, "My wife, do you want to say that this bear is as silly as my elder brother? This is a cute cartoon bear."

Huang Yueying also smiled and said, "Brother Ziyi, you are so ugly, you don't look like a bear at all. You look really honest and cute. If you don't wait to return to Bingzhou, we will help you draw one again."

After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and said to them: "This bear has been galloping along the battlefield with me for many years. The enemy will be frightened when they see this bear, and even fled when they hear the news. The bear you repainted will have no effect after taking out, but I still want to thank you for your kindness."

After Lu Ning's battle flag was raised, it caused a big sensation on the dock. There were many merchants on the dock. They had seen Lu Ning's battle flag in Bingzhou. They only heard people talking about it in the shore, Oh, it turned out that the Big Bear came in person. That was the Big Bear's battle flag. How could the Big Bear in the north be here? Big Bear is a great hero, and Big Bear is the best for the people...

After all the various discussions in the crowd on the shore came into the ears of the three beauties, they all smiled on their faces. They were happy and even more excited. It was indeed proud that the people they loved could be praised by the people so much. They all smiled at Lu Ning, which was a smile from the heart.

The warships continued to move forward, and Lu Ning and the others were talking and laughing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. Of course, Zhou Yu had a lot of responsibility. He knew that Lu Ning and his party would encounter trouble after arriving in Jiangxia, and he had to consider how to deal with it. This was his first time commanding an army. Although it was not large in scale, the enemy was a unit of tens of thousands of people, which was also a kind of experience for him, which made him excited and a little nervous. After all, this was a real battlefield, a life-and-death battle.

Seeing Zhou Yu's annoyance, Lu Ning smiled and said to him: "Gongjin, relax, we may encounter many enemies, dozens of times that of ours, but I heard Gan Ning and others say that the firepower of our warships should be more than ten times that of enemies, let alone Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Huang Zu and others are all incompetent people. Even if your Gongjin's ability is in the world, who can defeat you? Especially leading troops to command battles is your strength."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhou Yu felt a little relaxed. He said to Lu Ning: "Ziyi, this is my first time commanding a battle, and I may face a strong enemy, so I am indeed a little nervous."

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and patted Zhou Yu's arm and said, "Gongjin, everyone has their first time. This is an inevitable process. When I led the villagers to resist the horse thief for the first time, I was even more nervous than you now. I just fired a few arrows and ran back. You are mainly because you lack understanding of the performance of various weapons and equipment on my warship. I have already notified you that as long as the enemy enters the attack range of any weapon of our army, the messenger will tell you as soon as possible, and then ask you to make a decision and then give orders. We all obey your orders."

At this time, Xiao Qiao next to him said, "Brother, I found that this time we went out for fun, we played the piano for you all the way. It seems that you have never played a song for us. This is really unfair. Today's good atmosphere, brother, you can play one for us."
