Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At that time, Yi Xiaochuan did not realize how serious the crime of killing Qin soldiers was. On the contrary, he was complacent and carried away by his success in saving Liu Bang. If Yi Xiaochuan had only rescued others and not killed them, then from that moment on, the crime Liu Bang was charged with would have been confirmed even if it was originally false.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, Fan Kuai finally realized that something was wrong. According to common sense, at the normal speed, they should have arrived here long ago. Even if they were a little slower, they would not have delayed until now. However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves not only did not become clearer, but with the passage of time, it suddenly became weaker and weaker, as if it was gradually moving away from here.

"General! General! Something terrible is happening!"

"What happened? Where is the enemy?"

"General, they suddenly changed their route and took a small road to march!"

"What? A small road? Where is the small road outside Pei County? Could it be that they noticed something and chose to take a detour?"

When the spy passed the news to Fan Kuai, he could not help but be shocked. You know, there is only one road to the south from Pei County, and according to previous observations, the enemy did move in this direction after leaving the city.

It was incredible that they suddenly changed their route and chose to evacuate Pei County in another direction. Could it be that the enemy had seen through their carefully arranged ambush? However, such an idea seemed quite strange. Even if they could see through the ambush, they would not be able to respond so quickly!

"That's not the case, sir. They went straight into the woods and followed the stream, just avoiding the trap we set." The spy's words shocked Fan Kuai.

His eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "What? A stream? How is this possible?"

After all, everyone knew that the mountain streams had been eroded for many years, and the river channels formed were narrow and rugged, which could not accommodate a large number of people and horses. Moreover, riding horses across the mountain was a fantasy.

But the facts were before his eyes, and Fan Kuai could not help but believe it. The spy continued to explain: "General, you don't know. Due to long-term erosion by water, the width of this mountain stream is just enough for a rider to pass smoothly. The enemy took advantage of this and successfully bypassed our defense line."

Upon hearing this, Fan Kuai frowned and fell into deep thought. He secretly regretted why he had not anticipated this move beforehand. Now it seemed that the other party was obviously very familiar with this terrain, and might even have seen through his plan long ago. Otherwise, how could he find this path so accurately and cleverly get out of the predicament?

"In the mountains? ... In the streams? Ah... Come on, hurry up, get on your horses, and follow me to chase the damned enemy!" Fan Kuai's eyes widened and he shouted angrily. He held the heavy axe tightly in his hand, and due to excessive force, veins on the back of his hand bulged.

Hearing the news from the spies, Fan Kuai was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He could never have imagined that he had waited here for so long, but in the end he didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, and let them bypass him easily!

Although Liu Bang had set up an ambush in the rear out of caution, if he could not stop Gao Yao, or even let Gao Yao escape openly, Fan Kuai would be completely humiliated and ashamed! This feeling was like using all your strength to throw a punch, but hitting the ethereal air, which made people extremely frustrated and depressed.

"kill……!"

Following Fan Kuai's order, the cavalrymen jumped on their horses. They all looked serious and determined, as if they were ready to fight the enemy to the death. Fan Kuai knew the importance of this mission and would not allow any mistakes. He held the reins tightly, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and led this elite division to gallop away like a whirlwind. The sound of horse hooves echoed through the valley, raising a cloud of dust.

Fan Kuai was also embarrassed when he thought about how he had promised Liu Bang that he would definitely kill Gao Yao or capture him alive, but now he was about to fail without even seeing Liu Bang.

At this time, Erniu, who was mistaken for Gao Yao, also successfully led his soldiers through the stream and river. When taking the detour, Erniu was actually a little nervous. After all, the time was not short. However, in all these years, he had never heard of anyone marching in this way.

However, since it was Gao Yao's words, Erniu would believe them, so he just went for it. When he saw the landmark Gao Yao mentioned, he led the soldiers behind him to change the route and bypassed the ambush site of Fan Kuai along the river. The river was very shallow, not even enough to cover the horses' ankles, so the horses could run smoothly together, forming a long dragon running along the river.

Although Gao Yao was mediocre in military strategy and tactics, he had a magical system, which undoubtedly became his biggest help. After leaving Pei County, there was only one road to the south. Moreover, it was not easy to set up an ambush, after all, no one would be stupid enough to easily step into a place that was obviously a trap. Whether it was the terrain, topography, the distance between the enemy and us, or what kind of ambush to use and the type of enemy to deal with, many factors needed to be carefully considered.

Not every place is suitable for setting up an ambush. There is a lot of knowledge involved! Gao Yao, who is located in the southern border, is responsible for managing local affairs, so he naturally cannot leave talents like Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Han Xin idle. Although Gao Yao may lack actual combat experience, he has accumulated a lot of valuable experience by constantly learning relevant theoretical knowledge.

With the help of the map, Gao Yao dared to take this gamble and do this. Not all places are suitable for this method. Most rivers are not suitable for horses to run. After all, the flow of river water will bring a lot of silt, which is soft and will cause collapse when horses step on it. However, this section of the river is very special. It is a separate river channel with mainly gravel as the base.

At this time, Gao Yao on the other side had also sneaked into the vicinity of the mountain stronghold again, and the facts were exactly as Gao Yao had guessed. Even more than 70% of the sentries originally hidden in the forest had disappeared. When Gao Yao came to a high place to observe the mountain stronghold, he happened to see Liu Bang pacing back and forth in the open space of the mountain stronghold!
