Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: The New Biography of Guan Ping

Chapter 38 Attracting Tigers in the Mountains

The army set off, and the distance between the front, rear, left, and middle armies spread widely; Xia Houyuan has always been famous for his fast marches. The cavalry under his command are not good at fortified battles, but they are very good at running.
That is to say, Xia Houyuan's cavalry will lose if they face head-to-head with Lu Bu's iron cavalry;

Pioneer Le Jin is also known for his bravery, and if this battle can be resolved quickly, it will undoubtedly be the best situation to wipe out Zang Ba's troops before Lu Bu rescues them.

Therefore, the front and middle armies made rapid progress. When Guan Ping's rear army was still in the north of Xiapi, Le Jin had already entered the territory of Donghai State and confronted Sun Guan, Zang Ba's front. [

The front and middle armies advanced rapidly, and the left and right armies quickly followed up, which meant abandoning Guan Ping.

At this time, Guan Ping was leading the soldiers and horses to cross the river through a shoal in Yishui River, rushing northward quickly, so they were infantry, and they were still heavily armored infantry, so no matter how much Guan Ping urged, the speed still couldn't increase .

Standing on the shore, Guan Ping lightly stroked his horse, and seeing the sparkling light, an idea flashed through his mind.

There are so many rivers and lakes in Xuzhou, just between Xiapi Army and Donghai State, Huai River, Surabaya River, Yi River, etc. criss-cross, and the water network is complicated. This place can also pass through shallows, and in some places, bridges or ferries must be used.So, can the river be used as an obstacle to slow down Lu Bu's pursuit?

"Xie Lucao, Xie Lucao, come quickly, come quickly, you fucking come here quickly!" Guan Ping looked around and shouted anxiously.

Xie Lucao came from the shoal, but he still had a straight face. If it wasn't for Guan Ping's daily persuasion, he would have stabbed Cao Cao with a knife.

"Master Captain, the last general is here."

"Are you familiar with this place?" Guan Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and asked expectantly.

Xie Lucao nodded hurriedly.

"Can you use the ferry and bridge to stop Lu Bu's cavalry for a while?"

Xie Lucao picked up a branch, made simple gestures on the beach by the river, and after thinking carefully for a while, said: "Yes, after crossing the river from here, we can go northeast from Mochuang Ridge and enter Yishui River. , the river there is relatively fast, and there is only one bridge for more than ten miles in front and back. After our army crosses, it can be burned down. However, if Lu Bu chases him and forcibly crosses the river, it will take at least five days for people, horses and supplies. And to the west is the flat road.”

"Report..." While the two were discussing, a scout galloped up from the rear, got off his horse, and said, "Report to Captain, the cavalry from Lu Bu's brigade were found three miles behind."

"Report the number!" Guan Ping's heart tightened. After all, Lu Bu went out to fight, and he acted so quickly, which really didn't fit his character; maybe when a person is cornered, he will always be more decisive than usual.

"Overwhelming, uncountable." The scout looked a little scared.

"Explore again!"

"Yes!" The scout went away.Guan Ping turned to Xie Lucao again, and said anxiously, "Go ahead."

Xie Lucao continued: "To the northwest is a flat road, and General Xiahou walked on that road. There is no waterway there, but the official road is relatively narrow. If our army walks on that road, it will definitely be attacked by Lu Bu. The cavalry charged repeatedly."

"Is it possible for Lu Bu's cavalry to detour?"

"My lord, the road has been going on for a long time, and it is the only way to go north. There are waterways, mountains, forests, and mud on both sides. You can't walk on it." [
