Hu Fen led a team of mixed infantry and cavalry, with 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, with a total strength of 30,000. Since the speed of infantry cannot keep up with the cavalry, when advancing, the cavalry can only suppress the speed to ensure that the infantry can keep up.

Although Hu Fen is worried now, in order to maintain the integrity of the formation, he dare not let the cavalry act alone. Hu Fen is eager to save Chen Tai, but it does not mean that he has completely lost his mind. Light advancement is a taboo in military strategists. Hu Fen, who is familiar with military books, naturally dare not forget it for a moment, so he tried his best to restrain his emotions and remained vigilant during the march to prevent the Bingzhou Army from sneak attacking halfway.

In this case, the possibility of a half-way ambush by the Bingzhou Army is extremely high. If Hu Fen is eager to save, he will easily fall into the trap of the Bingzhou Army. This not only does not rescue Chen Tai, but may fall into it.

So although Hu Fen is at the forefront of the entire Sima army, he still does not forget to keep a certain distance from Chen Qian on the back. In this way, even if he is attacked by the enemy, Hu Fen does not have to worry too much. As long as Chen Qian's troops approach him, all the crises can be solved, not to mention that there is a 60,000 army led by Sima's army behind him. As long as Hu Fen controls the speed of the march and maintains an appropriate distance from other troops, there is no need to worry about the danger of going deep alone.

After a tense marching night, at dawn, Hu Fen led his troops to Luquan, which was only a dozen miles away from Bailu Mountain. However, from Luquan to the west, the terrain increased significantly, and the peaks were connected, and the road became rugged. From Luquan to the east, it was always a plain with a flat mountain.

In the plains, it is difficult for Bingzhou troops to ambush. After all, it is very far apart and can be seen at a glance. Even in the dark, it is not easy to detour a large-scale army.

But once he entered the mountainous area, the situation was obviously different. The uneven mountains could easily hide their whereabouts. Many times the enemy was under his nose and could not find it. So after arriving at Luquan, Hu Fen became obviously cautious, ordered the army to slow down the marching speed, and sent a large number of scouts to investigate and reconnaise in front and on both left and right wings.

Fortunately, the sky was getting clear at this time, and the vision was no longer affected. The risk of being attacked by the Bingzhou army was indeed reduced a lot. However, Hu Fen was still not careless. He ordered the army to rest in a wide valley. As soon as the soldiers rushed all night, they were tired and exhausted. Taking a break at this moment, eating something and drinking some water will also help restore energy and physical strength and prepare for the next battle.

It is not far from Bailu Mountain. They will soon encounter Bingzhou Army. Once the two sides encounter it, it will inevitably be a fierce battle, which is completely a battle that cannot be avoided no matter what.

Secondly, Hu Fen paused for a moment to let other teams come over. This battle is likely to be a decisive battle between Sima's army and Bingzhou army. Hu Fen alone could not support such a large battle.

A night of marching is nothing to the cavalry, but it is extremely miserable for the infantry. In order to maintain the speed of the marching, Hu Fen ordered all the infantry to trot all the way and not stop overnight. Such a high-intensity marching made Sima soldiers exhausted and complained.

However, even if they complained, they would not dare to shout in front of Hu Fen. If Hu Fen heard the complaints and complaints, they would be whipped.

So these soldiers could only make a few complaints in private. When they saw Hu Fen coming, they immediately kept silent and remained silent. No one wanted to speak quickly and suffer some flesh and blood for nothing.

Hu Fen had a circle of 30,000 people. He was quite satisfied with the current Sima Army's state. Such a long-distance march was no less than the usual five-day training volume. Except for a few people, most of the Sima Army were resting silently, waiting to go to Bailu Mountain to fight to the death with the Bingzhou Army.

Just as Hu Fen was patrolling among the soldiers, the scouts who were exploring the way forward came back and reported that five miles ahead, a Bingzhou army blocked the advance of the valley, and they could not get around. Only by destroying this Bingzhou army that blocked the road could they reach the foot of Bailu Mountain.

After hearing the report, Hu Fen couldn't help but have a lot of questions. Logically speaking, the most effective method of the Bingzhou Army was to ambush halfway and intercept the Sima Army in half, so that the head and tail could not be looked at each other. This was the best plan, blocking the road and confronting the Sima Army head-on with the powerful Sima Army. This was the next plan. In theory, Cao Liang was the best at using troops, so why did he lose his roots and chase the end?

Hu Fen was unhappy with his intentions. While Sima's army was resting, he led a cavalry to find out in person. Often, many things were heard as false and the eyes were true.

When Hu Fen came forward and looked at it in person, he suddenly realized that the Bingzhou army was not an ordinary interception, but used flat box trucks. The flat box trucks were connected one by one, forming a solid line of defense, sealing the road to Hu Fen's advance tightly.

Flat box vans are called "the natural enemy of cavalry". When the flat box van forms a formation, it is like building a mobile castle. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for cavalry to break through this fortress.

Of course, flat box trucks also have their weaknesses, that is, they are extremely bulky, slow to move, and have extremely strong defense, but they also lack mobility. If the opponent's cavalry attacks the flat box truck, they can indeed effectively implement defense, but if the opponent's cavalry goes around and does not attack it, the flat box truck will be helpless and will not play any role in the battlefield.

However, the Bingzhou Army has now fully utilized its strengths in the box trucks and placed them on the only way to the Sima Army. Moreover, there are mountains and steep nearby, so there is almost no possibility of going around. Such an interception is just right.

Hu Fen's face suddenly became gloomy. No wonder the Bingzhou Army did not conduct a half-way ambush. It turned out that the flat box truck array was deployed here. The flat box truck was inconvenient to move, but it would be very convenient if it was deployed in advance.

I thought it would be a flat horse to go to Bailu Mountain, but I didn't expect to encounter the biggest opponent of the cavalry. For Hu Fen, attacking the flat box car formation was no less than a tough battle, and it was almost difficult to conquer in a short period of time. I don't know what the situation was with Chen Tai, and can we still persevere in the army to rescue?
