Luhun County, more than ten miles in the southern suburbs.

The herdsman did not stay in Luhun County, after resting, immediately went south, but the road to the south of the army was difficult to walk, entering this area, there were many mountain roads, and it was a scorching summer, and the heat was scorching, so that the physical strength of the soldiers was greatly consumed.

When they passed by a small forest, Hu Zhao ordered: "All departments should rest in place in the woods, and release all the scouts out, and the situation for dozens of miles will be clarified!" ”

"No!"

The generals of the various ministries received the order.

This grove is quite large, and the foliage is luxuriant, which can block the hot sun in the sky, and there is a mountain spring stream not far away, so that the soldiers can get water to replenish it.

"Mr. Kong Ming, drink saliva!"

A soldier took a bamboo tube and filled it with a pot of cool mountain spring water and handed it over.

Hu Zhao took a few sips to relieve the heat in his throat, then breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "This ghost weather really makes our march even more difficult!" ”

The hotter the weather, the more physical strength the soldiers consumed on the road, and the more the speed naturally slowed down, for example, today, after walking for a morning, they only walked more than ten miles, which is already a very slow speed.

"Report!"

At that moment, a scout rushed forward.

Hu Zhao was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Report to Mr. Kong Ming, I found traces of the wolf rider in Bingzhou later!"

"Where?" Hu Zhao's face changed slightly, but he was still calm.

"They just entered Luhun County, and they are resting in Luhun County!"

"That's less than fifteen miles away!"

Hu Zhao squinted slightly, his eyes flashed with a light of calculation, and his face suddenly became ugly: "With the speed of the cavalry, it is easy for them to catch up!" ”

Thinking of the result of the wolf cavalry catching up, he gasped and quickly summoned the generals above the captain of the Violent Bear Army and the Yellow Turban Army to discuss countermeasures.

"The wolf ride is faster than we thought, do you have a good plan?"

After Hu Zhao explained the matter, he asked.

"Sir, why don't I lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to block for a while, and buy time for the main force to go south!"

Storm Bear Zhonglang stood up Zhao Ping and said in a deep voice.

"The momentum of the cavalry charge is unstoppable, even if we want to block this formation, it is not easy to stop!" Hu Zhao shook his head: "Unless we put all our troops here, we won't be able to stop the pace of the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, and a small number of troops will rush up, but we will kill ourselves!" ”

The wolf cavalry of Bingzhou is definitely the elite of the cavalry, under the command of the Mu clan, there is really no cavalry who dares to fight against this cavalry, they still have this self-knowledge, even if it is Zhou Cang, who has always commanded the cavalry battalion of the Violent Bear Army, but they understand very well the difference between the southern cavalry and the northern cavalry.

"I have a proposal!"

Jiang Lu was sweltering, he went to fetch water in person, and when he came back, he heard the news and immediately joined the discussion, saying: "We divide the troops, the cavalry is one, the world is invincible, the cavalry is scattered, we can encircle and suppress, we divide the troops, it depends on whether the wolf riders dare to divide the troops!" ”

"Topographic map!"

Hu Zhao quickly spread out a topographic map that was two meters long and one and a half meters wide, this topographic map was not depicted by their scouts, but depicted by Jing Wusi, Jing Wusi seemed to have little effect in this situation, but it affected the battlefield all the time.

"Haoming's suggestion is good, we have to divide the troops!" Hu Zhao looked at the topographic map, thought about it, and said: "The soldiers are divided into four roads, Zhao Ping and I, each lead a road to the Violent Bear Army, take two mountain roads here, Jiang Lu Huang Shao, you each lead a Yellow Turban Army, one takes the official road, and the other takes the easterly path!" ”

"What if the wolf cavalry of the state does not divide the army?"

Huang Shao put forward a loophole in this strategy: "We have divided our troops, and if they don't divide them, wouldn't they have the opportunity to concentrate the main force to attack one of our armies!" ”

"So we're going to stay in the setting!"

Hu Zhao said: "He will not know the situation of our division of troops, so he will be puzzled, the main force of the first road, the suspicious army of the third road, as long as we arrange it properly, we will be able to force him not to divide the army, of course, the most dangerous is the main force in the middle, take the official road, no matter what the situation is, it will definitely lead them to pursue!" ”

"I'll take the official road!"

Jiang Lu stopped the most dangerous work: "General Huang, just give me a battalion of soldiers and horses!" ”

"A battalion?"

Huang Shao frowned: "I'm afraid it's hard to stop Lu Bu's cavalry!" ”

"There are more troops, it is difficult to march, and it is also inflexible, but the gains outweigh the losses!" Jiang Lu said: "I only need to introduce their main force into the official road, and then I can get out of the official road, I have few troops, and I don't have too much burden, I can get out of the official road at any time, they can't!" ”

"Then decide!"

Hu Zhao immediately decided: "Fifty miles later, this direction will gather!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals nodded.

An hour later, the two forces of the Mu Clan, the Violent Bear Army and the Yellow Turban Army, continued to hurry, but they began to divide their troops into four routes, and left enough traces to let people know that they had divided their forces.

Afternoon.

The wolf rider caught up and pursued to the grove where the herdsman was resting, leaving a lot of traces in the grove, so that the scouts of the wolf rider quickly discovered that it had been temporarily stationed here.

"General, the scouts have come out, and when they are here, they should divide their troops!" Cao Xingyu reported: "The soldiers are divided into four ways!" ”

"Four-way?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly, and his eyes flashed with a touch of coldness: "Their strength is not much, it is said that it is a lot less, gathered together, even if I lead the cavalry to charge, I can't help them, but if the troops are divided, then it is another matter, they don't think that all the troops can stop my cavalry, right?" ”

"General, the reason for their division of troops is probably to defend the main force to separate, so there must be one way to be the main force, and the other three are suspicious soldiers, if we can't guess clearly, the suspicious soldiers who catch up with them will let their main force escape!"

"Suspicious?" Lu Bu sneered: "It's really cunning!" ”

He pondered for a while, and said: "They divide the troops, we will not divide the troops, after I and the wolf cavalry are dispersed, the combat effectiveness will be weakened, we must gather troops and pursue the official road, they are going south, since they want to go south, the mountain road will not be long, and the small road will not last long, only the official road is the right way!" ”

"Yes!"

And the generals of the various departments of the wolf cavalry of the state rode their horses and received the order.

When the wolf rode out of ten miles, it was already dark, and when it was dark, it was a very embarrassing thing to want to ride a horse, and they had to stop and rest, after all, it was difficult to control the war horse under the night.

In a bamboo forest next to the official road.

"It seems that Lu Bu really didn't dare to catch up at night, it just happened to be our opportunity!" Jiang Lu led the third battalion of the Yellow Turban Army, which was an elite battalion, and the soldiers' foot strength was very good, but they ran on two legs and four legs, and they were almost blocked several times, but fortunately there were few people and they were flexible to deal with it, and Jiang Lu was clever, using the surrounding villages to disrupt the pursuit of the wolf riders in Bingzhou.

After nightfall, whether the Bingzhou wolf rider wants to continue the pursuit whether he wants to do it or not, it is already impossible, which buys Jiang Lu time, otherwise it will not take half an hour, they will inevitably be caught up by the Bingzhou wolf rider.

"Sons, I know that there is not even moonlight tonight, and we can only discredit the march, which is very dangerous, but we have no choice, in order to live, we can only grit our teeth and move forward!" Jiang Lu boosted morale and led his army to risk danger and march the road at night.

"To live!"

"To live!"

The soldiers' desire to survive was very strong, and one after another shouted loudly, regardless of the danger of the night, they held each other and continued to march in the night.

……

The next day at noon.

Wangshan Town.

This is a small town near Bear's Ears Mountain, which belongs to Luhun County, and there are only about 200 households.

The four-way soldiers and horses of the Violent Bear Army and the Yellow Turban Army have gathered outside the town.

"It's indeed a problem for Lu Bu to bite the bullet, but now is also the time for us to take the initiative!"

Hu Zhao held the letter that Mu Jing sent to him through Jing Wusi last night, which gave him hope for this battle, he marched all night, a literati should be tired and couldn't open his eyes, but he was always in good spirits: "The lord has an order, take the initiative to engage in the battle, and after the battle, quickly break away and go south along the road!" ”

"Will they chase us south, then?"

"Yes!"

"Why?"

"No one will loosen their teeth when they have reached the prey in their mouths!" Hu Zhao said: "We can get some news, they also have internal information, I'm afraid that at this time, the wolf rider of Bingzhou already knows that in the direction of our northwest, the Xiliang army is less than thirty miles away, so he will definitely find a way to eat us!" ”

"And then?" Huang Shao asked about the follow-up plan.

"Then we will master the master!"

Hu Zhao's eyes were vivid, and his voice was scorching: "The rest is the matter of the lord, the lord is going to invite you into the urn, whether it can succeed, it depends on whether the mandate of heaven can leave us a way to live!" ”
