After Dong Wan led the tiger and leopard to ride back three miles, he pondered for a while, but he still couldn't make a decision for a while. Although there are three options in front of you, there are pros and cons to either option, and none of them is a good choice.

The easiest and most direct way is, of course, to rush straight over with your head down, desperate for everything. No matter what obstacles or traps there are in front of you, you can use the super impact of the war horse to break through and fill it with the flesh and blood of people and horses. It sounds brutal, but in the era of Cold Weapon Warfare, it was a common tactic.

As long as you win the battle, no one will care how you win, and no one will even mind how many people your troops lose and how great the price of victory is.

However, now facing the terrifying Shu army, with the super field combat ability that the Shu army has shown before, in this situation where the fortifications have been built, let alone his own 30,000 horses, even if it is 300,000, he is not sure to rush through.

If there is a fierce general as the commander, or if his head is hot, he will order an all-out assault regardless of it, and rush straight over, but Dong Wan is a scholar, his mind is calmer, and he has more ideas, before starting an action, he will think a lot, and he will weigh the gains and losses.

To put it nicely, this is called planning and then acting, and if it is not good, this is called indecision. After a little consideration, he immediately gave up this plan, which was obviously to send him to death. The second plan is to take a detour, which can avoid the main force of the Shu army in front of you, but it will take two more days.

In two days, who knows what will happen, according to intelligence, the reinforcements are being surrounded by the Shu army on a hill, waiting for them to come to the rescue. Two days, who knows if the Shu army will wipe out these 50,000 reinforcements in these two days.

It's not impossible, aren't the reinforcements from Tongguan wiped out by the Shu army in a single face, which shows how terrifying the attack power of these Shu troops is. If one person can wipe out 30,000 people, then it makes sense to wipe out 50,000 people in two days.

Besides, who knows if the enemy still has an ambush on that section of the road, and if so, is it a detour? It won't be a matter of two or three days to make a detour, and even if you rush to the place at that time, is there any point?

Returning to Chang'an is the safest and can also avoid the loss of the last elite of the Wei state, but this also means that this mission has failed.

The task given by the emperor is to fully respond to the reinforcements on the southern front, to avoid them being wiped out by the Shu army again, and to avoid Chang'an City falling into an isolated and helpless situation, but he has not even seen the shadow of the rescue force, and he has not yet come out of the enemy, and he has not fought a battle, so he will retreat, what will the emperor think of himself, and what will the ministers of the court and the central government think of themselves?

Even if the emperor does not hold him accountable for giving up the task of receiving reinforcements, the ministers of the court and the central government will impeach him for being afraid of the war.

Dong Wan struggled for a while, unable to decide, looked up and saw that it was getting late, okay, then rest for a night, let's talk about it tomorrow, there is a night to think about, maybe I can come up with a good solution.

The plan was decided, and Dong Wan sent scouts to find a suitable camp nearby. It can be seen that Dong Wan still understands the art of war, and knows that the camp cannot be chosen casually. Don't underestimate the choice of campsite, choose a good feng shui campsite, in times of distress can often turn evil into good fortune, if you choose a dangerous place, Jedi campsite, it is likely to inexplicably suffer heavy losses.

This is not a superstition, but a science that contains many scientific principles. The famous example is Ma Tan, who was too conceited and chose the wrong camp and was defeated, and was finally beheaded by Zhuge Liang with tears.

Soon, the scouts reported that two miles behind there was a suitable place for camping. Dong Wan led the troops back two miles, found the place, and ordered to set up camp.

In this way, the camp of the tiger and leopard cavalry was five miles away from the blocking position of the Shu army. Dong Wan also sent scouts and sentry guards to prevent the Shu army from stealing the camp at night, and at the same time, let all the soldiers not disarm, do not unsaddle their horses, and be ready to fight at any time.

He believes that his troops are cavalry, and although the enemy's firearms are powerful, they are all infantry, and if the enemy makes a move, it is still no problem for him to run, after all, two legs can't run on four legs.

He had already made everyone ready to fight or flee at any time, and sent more scouts, as soon as the scouts brought the news, the people here would immediately gather, and when the enemy came here after running for five miles, the tiger and leopard riders had enough time to deal with it calmly.

Dong Zhao's wishful thinking crackled, but he didn't calculate that the Shu army not only had infantry, but also cavalry, although these cavalry were originally Xianbei people, but now they are all under the orders of Zhang Bao, the division commander.

Although Zhang Bao is still a division commander, he is the commander-in-chief of the entire Northern Front Army, and in this sense, he can be regarded as a army commander or even a corps commander.

Although Zhang Bao is young, he has a lot of combat experience, he and Guan Xing were the first to follow Liu Hou's side, all the way to the south and the north to fight over, he has experienced almost all the big and small battles of the Hong army, and he is considered the "old man" in the Hong army.

In addition, Liu Hou also assigned him a division staff department, and several staff officers assisted him in formulating the battle plan, and they helped him pick up the gaps, and he didn't have to worry about his inconsiderate places, so Liu Hou was relieved to hand over the army all the way to him.

If Dong Zhao was in the camp of the First Division and saw the situation inside, he would definitely regret his death, because now the First Division was stationed in addition to the infantry, and there were a large number of cavalry, and the number of cavalry was much more than that of the infantry.

The Xianbei cavalry that originally besieged the reinforcements on the southern front of the Wei State appeared here. It turned out that Zhang Bao was playing a trick to hide from the world. The more than 40,000 Xianbei cavalry first appeared in front of the reinforcements on the southern front of Wei, and frightened these reinforcements so much that they ran to a hill and did not dare to come down.

Then the Xianbei cavalry pretended to block the way down the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, pretending to confront them. In fact, at night, 40,000 Xianbei cavalry quietly withdrew and came to the 1st Division to participate in the blocking of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

There were only a few thousand men left at the foot of the hill, and they deceived the enemies on the hill by bluffing in the large camp that had been set up to accommodate more than 40,000 men and horses. The Wei army did not have binoculars, and they could not see the real situation of the Wei army camp under the mountain clearly.

They just felt from a distance that the Shu camp was full of people, gongs and drums, flags, and dust, a lively scene. Therefore, it is speculated that the Shu army is actively training, and it is estimated that it will attack the mountain in the near future and fight to the death with its own side.

What they didn't know was that the big camp at the bottom of the mountain was actually an empty shell, with only a few thousand men and horses tossing and turning inside. It is true that the flags are dense, because the 40,000 cavalry did not pull those flags away when they secretly moved away at night, so from a distance, the flags in the camp are still more than 40,000 people.

As for the rolling sand, it is easy to explain, thousands of people take turns to ride horses, dragging branches to run around the camp, can they not be dusty?

This method is not novel at all, Zhang Fei would use it back then, but who wouldn't be in the Shu army? As long as a few hundred people are dispatched, it can create a movement that can only be made by thousands of troops.
