Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 334

Xi Zhen didn't understand what it meant, Gao Shun looked at Gan Ning and shook his head lightly, now there are fewer and fewer opportunities to cook in Lantian. Same as in memory.

"Sir, General Gan only has 500 people, plus my reconnaissance battalion has less than 800 people. The main force of Cheng Pu's rout is still [-], and he will easily be eaten if he pursues rashly." Gao Shun asked worriedly.

Lan Tian turned to look at Gan Ning: "Bo Ping is not unreasonable to worry, are you afraid of Xing Ba?"

Gan Ning felt heroic, and he patted his chest and replied solemnly: "Last night, Cheng Pu's soldiers were not many, I was able to enter and exit freely with only a hundred cavalry, and I also killed Ling Tong's fellow, and 800 men pursued them." What is there to be afraid of?"

Gao Shun reminded: "General Gan, don't underestimate the enemy. The robbing of the camp at night is a surprise. It is still noon now. It is not easy to do like last night. Let's listen to how the master uses his schemes."

"I would like to listen to the master's arrangement." Gan Ning immediately clasped his fists humbly.

Lan Tian asked Gao Shun to take out a map and spread it on the ground. He pointed to the large map of Changsha County and said, "Most of Cheng Pu's luggage was burned by Xingba. Now the light armor Jian Cong is very fast. It will take time and effort to catch up with the trapped army. Looking at the map, this area is between the Xiangshui, Mishui, and Liushui, and there are mountains blocking the road to the east, so we can make a big fuss in this area.”

Gan Ning and Gao Shun scratched their heads, and Xi Zhen listened humbly to Lan Tian's explanation of the tactics.

Seeing the sincerity of the crowd, Lan Tian pointed to Wuchang, Liuyang and other places on the map and said, "Instead of chasing after Cheng Pu exhaustedly, it is better to take the initiative to control the trend of the battlefield and wait for work. Ba leads the troops and the reconnaissance battalion to move at the same time, and drive Cheng Pu's defeated troops to the designated location."

Gao Shun stroked his beard, "Mr.'s scheme is ingenious, but General Gan's number is too small, I'm afraid Cheng Pu may not fall into the trap."

Gan Ning also nodded in agreement: "It's okay to use cavalry to harass along the way, but it's really not easy to drive Cheng Pu to the ambush position."

Lan Tian stood up and said meaningfully: "When you have time, you can go to Xindengzhuang to see how Li Yang drove the flocks of ducks to the designated pond."

Gao Shun and Gan Ning knew that Lantian's words had a deep meaning, but they couldn't think of an answer after a moment of contemplation.

Gan Ning clasped his fists again and humbly asked for advice: "Please enlighten me, sir."

Lan Tian nodded slightly: "When driving ducks, we use a long bamboo pole with brightly colored cloth tied on it. The bamboo pole moves like a wall is moving. While waving the bamboo pole, it also knocks on the ground to make a sound. When the duck is frightened, it will honestly go to one place. run in the direction."

"Sir, do you want me to be frightened?" Gan Ning asked tentatively.

"Xingba asked people to prepare more colorful flags, and tied the branches around the horse's tail to raise smoke and dust. Under the cover of the five hundred cavalry, outsiders looked like tens of thousands? When chasing, use scouts to harass, and your five hundred cavalry are mainly suspicious soldiers. Whether you can catch this group of ducks well depends on your skills." Lan Tian said solemnly.

"Wonderful." Gao Shun and Xi Zhen said in unison.

Gan Ning clasped his fists and replied solemnly, "The final general will definitely live up to his entrustment."

Lan Tian continued: "Cheng Pu's troops are too many, and can only be eroded through multiple ambushes. The follow-up ambush points will be passed on by scouts."

"I see." Gan Ning nodded.

After everything was ready, Gan Ning led the Jinfan thief to go ahead with two horses. Lantian and Gao Shun also set off for the scheduled ambush point. Before departure, he ordered Xi Zhen to stay in Linxiang, appease the people in the city to resume production as soon as possible, and sent someone to report to Guan Yu in time. battle situation.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang joined forces silently, the fighting strength of the trapped camp was so strong, Jiangdong didn't know how much blood would have to be shed to destroy the thousands of fine armored infantry in Gao Shun's hands, and Huang Gai, who was going to lead the cavalry southward, should be fierce. More Ji Shao, but the two of them did not say it very tacitly.

The Jiangdong defeated soldiers fled northward for less than [-] miles. The scouts rushed to report that there was a large cavalry group five miles ahead, but the marching speed was not very fast.

"How many people are there in total?" Han Dang asked in a panic.

The scout scratched his head and replied: "The sky is full of yellow sand, and the banners are flying. There are countless, about ten or twenty thousand."

Hearing the number of people, Cheng Pu was startled into a cold sweat. He thought for a while and said to himself: "I never heard that there are so many cavalry in Jingzhou. Could it be that Liu Bei sent reinforcements from Yizhou?"

"This support army doesn't know our existence, and it's not the same as the cavalry who harassed just now. We should immediately turn around and march, otherwise the whole army will be wiped out in case of encounter," Han Dang quickly reminded.

"Yigong's words are very kind, it's better to avoid them." Cheng Pu nodded after hearing that.

Then he ordered the army to move eastward, intending to detour for a hundred miles and then cross Mishui northward, but within 34 miles, a large number of cavalry appeared in the north, and they had to move southeast in order to avoid it.

After walking for several hours, it felt as if they had gotten rid of the cavalry. When Cheng Pu and Han Dang relaxed a little, the encircled army they encountered in Linxiang appeared again, and they were defeated at the touch of a panic.

Because of the heavy armor, the fallen army did not start chasing them. Cheng Pu and Han Danxin continued to flee in fear, but they escaped to the sky shortly after they were targeted by Gan Ning's cavalry.

After three days of dragging on like this, Cheng Pu and Han Dang's troops were ambushed seven times in the area designated in advance by Lantian, and they were directly beaten to the point of doubting their lives. The 3000 infantry who had originally gone to attack the city were only left in the end. Less than [-] people.

On the night of the third day, Cheng Pu and Han Dang led the remnants of the army to retreat to Liuyang. At this time, they were exhausted, and the whole army had been out of food for two days. They were suffering both physically and mentally.

"Yi Gong, this battle can no longer be fought." Cheng Pu reflected.

Han Dang smiled wryly: "Gao Shun and Gan Ning used troops too hard, it's ridiculous to realize that the cavalry is bluffing now."

Cheng Pu shook his head and said, "Gao Shun and Gan Ning are just warriors. The man behind them is really powerful. Perhaps Zhou Gongjin can still compete with him while he is still alive. Lu Ziming is inferior after all."

"Cheng Gong is talking about Lantian." Han Dang was shocked.

In the current situation, Cheng Pu and Han Dang finally knew what kind of opponent they were facing.

"Gao Shun and Gan Ning are dispatched by Lantian. It's ridiculous that the Lord and Lu Zijing still treat him as a fool. Jiang Dong is being manipulated by this person." Cheng Pu looked sad.

Han Dang suddenly remembered something, and he said excitedly: "Lan Tian is so powerful, so why not Gong Fu (Huang Gai)?"

"If you are strong, you will never surrender. Now it should be more or less auspicious. It is I who underestimated the enemy and killed them." Cheng Pu beat his chest and paused.

Han Dang quickly comforted him: "What does this matter have to do with Demou? It was Lan Tian who played tricks on us."

"I am ashamed of General Wentai." Cheng Pu was heartbroken.

The more Cheng Pu said, the more sad he was, and he was about to kill himself when he pulled out his sword. Fortunately, Han Dang snatched the sword in time.

Han Dang scolded: "How can De Mou kill himself? The old guys are dying one after another. If you are gone, what's the point of my life?"
