Chapter 406 Chance Encounter
"Dong''s army has crossed the river at Yinpingjin?!" Wang Kuang, who was in the big tent, was holding the battle report sent by Pegasus, his eyes kept moving, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Yinpingjin is located in the upper reaches of Mengjin, and is a ferry crossing of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River, that is, the river runs east-west in Luoyang, from west to east. The nearby ferries are Yinpingjin, Xiaopingjin, Mengjin, and Wushejin.
??Now that Dong Zhuo''s army actually crossed the river at Yinpingjin on the upper reaches of the river, Wang Kuang himself is now stationed in Mengjin, which basically loses its meaning.
At any time, attacking halfway across the river is the best way to defeat the enemy, and it is also the most commonly used tactical method near rivers and other locations. But now that Dong Zhuo''s army has crossed the river, being here means that he will be at risk all the time. There is a danger of being attacked from both sides.
?Wang Kuang thought of this and immediately came to the observation deck in the camp. He climbed up to the platform and looked at Dong Jun''s camp across the river.
??Only a flag with the word "Dong" hanging high in the camp of Dong Jun was seen, and there were many soldiers walking around in it. It did not look like an empty camp.
this…
??If no one arrives, no matter whether he crosses the river and attacks directly, or goes to Yinpingjin to meet them, he will not be in a dilemma like now.
Is it entering?
Is it withdrawal?
Is it to block the road from Yinping to Hanoi?
Stay here to defend Dong Jun on the other side?
The plethora of choices made Wang Kuang hesitate...

??Li Su stopped Lu Bu and said, "We are only feinting! We have already passed Yinping and will encounter the enemy in a moment. Why does Marquis Wen rush forward? What will happen if we are ambushed?"
Lu Bu pinched Li Su with his eyelids, then turned to look at the sky and said, "If there is no attack, how can it be called a feint attack?"
"..." Li Su was so choked that he almost jumped up, "Marquis Wen! Our military strength is still small, how can we allow any mistakes? If we miss Li Changshi''s plan, how will we deal with it?" There are only two thousand troops, although there are A thousand cavalry, but you **** Lu Bu, you can''t think of yourself as having 20,000?
When it came to Li Ru, Lu Bu hesitated slightly.
Although it is said that when it comes to force, ten Li Rus combined cannot defeat one of Lu Bu''s hands, but for some reason, Lu Bu always feels a little uneasy every time he sees Li Ru.
However, if Lu Bu is asked to give up the opportunity he finally got to lead the army and just do this, just go out for a walk, complete the feint mission of doing nothing, and then return to the aggrieved Luoyang City, This mundane thing would drive Lu Bu crazy.
"You lead the rear army to move slowly, and I will lead the forward troops. If the enemy is few, I will defeat them; if the enemy is many, I will avoid them. The wolf cavalry in Bingzhou, running and turning, galloping like flying, should naturally chase the hunt in the wild, and be safe Can you stay behind?" Lu Bu was silent for a while, but still followed his heart and rushed forward to meet the enemy. However, he no longer asked Li Su to speed up as well, but arranged to follow behind. After Lu Bu finished speaking, without waiting for Li Su to say anything else, he left Li Su behind, went to the front line to lead the troops, and roared away with the old soldiers from Bingzhou.
Li Su chased and shouted: "Wen Hou! Wen Hou! This... alas!"
?Seeing Lu Bu running further and further away, Li Su sighed, and immediately ordered to set up camp and stop moving forward.
There were not many soldiers with him this time, and they were far away from the main force of Prime Minister Dong Zhuo. As a partial army, the most important task was of course to attract the attention of Wang Kuang of Hanoi and let him disperse the troops...?????But there was no Including the responsibility of confronting Wang Kuangjun head-on!
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????? With an ambush, a heavy siege, and a battle failure? This Lu Bu, I really don’t know what’s in his head!
While Li Su kept complaining, Lu Bu didn''t think much about it at all.
When Lu Bu fought against the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other barbarians in Bingzhou, wasn''t it true that the number of soldiers in that battle was outnumbered and we were outnumbered? Didn''t you lead the army alone into enemy territory that time? Weren''t they all surrounded by barbarians that time?
So when Li Su mentioned that there was danger, Lu Bu didn''t take it seriously at all.
The main reason is that Li Su doesn''t understand Lu Bu at all, and he doesn''t know the torment and depression in Lu Bu''s heart during this period of time.
??Do you really want to be a feint-attacking partial army, do nothing, gain nothing, and then go back empty-handed?
Lü Bu was unwilling to give in.
?The wind is howling, and the sound of horse hooves is like a **** drum, beating in the heart.
?Suddenly, the scouts in front rushed back to report that there was a group of men and horses heading here twenty miles away without raising their flags, and they numbered about four to five thousand people.
"Is there any cavalry? Have you been spotted?" Lu Bu asked.
"Zhen Wenhou, there are about five hundred of them, and the rest are all infantry. When my subordinates came back, there was no change in the enemy''s soldiers, and they did not see the other party''s scouts. It must be that they have not discovered us." The scouts have always been the smartest. As a soldier, he is good at concealment and detection. If the leader is not careful, or forgets to send a scout, and is detected, he may not know what happened.
"You are so careless, haha." Lu Bu raised his head and let out a haha, then ordered, "Dismount the entire army and prepare for battle!"
??This time Lu Bu led the front team with cavalry, most of which were his own troops, and some were from the original Luoyang Northern Army. This time they were also led by Lu Bu, with a total of thousands of cavalry.
Lu Bu gave the order, and the soldiers all pulled the reins, turned over and dismounted, and took out some fried beans from the horse''s bag and stuffed them into the horses'' mouths. They also gave a few to themselves, and they clucked with the horses. Chewing loudly, he adjusted the harness on the horse.
After a horse has been running for a long time, the saddle, stirrup and other laces will become loose. In order to prevent them from suddenly loosening at the critical moment of the attack, the laces are usually checked again before the battle.
Twenty miles on the road, Lu Bu was ready to teach these ignorant guys a lesson. Regardless of whether the flag was spread or not, which team he belonged to? It would definitely not be a friendly army anyway.
??The march didn’t send more scouts, why are they not seeking death themselves?
Lu Bu, who had been fighting the barbarians for a long time in Bingzhou, was very familiar with the control of attack distance, the use of cavalry, and the control of nodes.
When this group of soldiers and horses who were rushing forward suddenly discovered that there was a towering smoke and dust in front of them, and when they prepared to meet the enemy in a panic, Lu Bu had already rushed forward with his troops.
Seeing that the opponent''s troops and horses in front of him had no time to even prepare for the rejection, and even the battle formation was crooked and had not been fully arranged, Lu Bu smiled contemptuously, hung Fang Tian''s painted halberd horizontally on the saddle, and grabbed his own halberd from his side with his left hand. He picked up the specially made strong bow with his right hand, picked up three arrows, put them on the bowstring, and shot them out in a row!
