Jiexiu is the throat of Pingyang to Jinyang, and it is also the target that Sima Jun's northward march must take, Sima Yi is also his primary target when formulating an offensive strategy, so Sun Li's vanguard army, after entering Hedong County, did not stop at all, and went straight to Jiexiu. Eight. 8** Reading ,.. o

As the most important kind of city in the defense system of the Bingzhou army, in recent years, the Bingzhou army has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Jiexiu, heightened and strengthened the city wall, added a lot of defense facilities, and built it into a fortress city.

Moreover, Cao Liang arranged for the most elite infantry battalion in the Bingzhou army to be stationed here, so it can be said that Jiexiu is equivalent to the gateway to the southwest of Bingzhou, and to block the Sima army's attack on Bingzhou, Jiexiu cannot afford to lose.

In order to confuse Sima Jun, almost all the flags of the infantry battalion were lent to the fake army that was put together temporarily, so now the infantry battalion has no flag of its own, of course, not erecting military flags is also deliberately confusing, so that Sima Jun does not think that the army stationed here is an infantry battalion, but only an ordinary garrison force, so as to make it relax its vigilance.

Showing the enemy to be weak is a strategy in itself, Sima Jun thinks that the main infantry of the Bingzhou Army has been scattered by their mobilization, six infantry battalions, one in Yanmen County in the north, two in Weize Pass in the east, and now the remaining three infantry battalions have been tricked by Sima Yi to schem to Shangdang County, and now there are only some garrisons with a lot of different combat effectiveness left to guard Jiexiu, and Sima Jun certainly does not think that these armies can become obstacles to their attack.

Now the Sima army needs to guard against only the three cavalry battalions of the Bingzhou Army, but according to intelligence, the three cavalry battalions of the Bingzhou Army are now deployed around Jinyang. 5v 8 5v 8 5v read 5v book,.. o

This is also a normal military deployment, after all, Jiexiu is a mountainous area, which is not conducive to the action of cavalry, cavalry can fight in the field, but if it is used to defend the city, it is overkill.

Therefore, the 30,000 vanguard troops led by Sun Li this time are also mainly infantry, and cavalry only accounts for a small proportion.

As for the main cavalry of the Sima army, it is in the position of the rear of the palace at the moment, Sima Yi is holding back his big move, and after he is ready to enter the Jinzhong Plain, he will use the cavalry to launch a fatal blow to the Bingzhou army.

In order to pursue speed, Sun Li's vanguard force, after starting from Hanoi, traveled all the way, and the daily mileage was not less than 100 miles, such a marching intensity was indeed enough to drink a pot for Sima Jun, who was mostly infantry.

Seven days, Sun Li only took seven days, from Hanoi County's Yiguan, all the way to the city of Jiexiu, if purely from the speed, it can indeed be called a god speed, except for the cavalry, I am afraid it is difficult for other troops to have such a marching speed.

The main reason why Sun Li is so desperate for a long-distance attack is that he wants to grab time with the Bingzhou army, if the Bingzhou army finds out that they are fooled, they will definitely transfer the army transferred south back as soon as possible, but this time and again, it will definitely not work without a little time, so Sun Li seized the opportunity and doubled all the way, so that he could completely get rid of the Bingzhou army.

However, seven consecutive days of high-intensity marching, Sima Jun's physical strength is naturally a huge test, when arriving at the Lingshi Pass not far from Jiexiu, Sun Li ordered the vanguard army to temporarily stop marching, many war horses are foaming at the mouth, not to mention those soldiers who trotted all the way, all tired and panting, this way, following the rhythm of the march, are all strong, at this moment Sun Li just ordered to suspend the march to rest in place, many soldiers immediately collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move.

It can be seen that this high-intensity march has tired the soldiers of the Sima army into dogs, and under the Lingshi Pass, the Sima army is scattered, losing their armor and staggering, and there is also a neat team image.

Sima Shi couldn't help frowning, and said to Sun Li: "Our army is so tired and untidy, if the state army attacks at this time, how can we fight?" ”

Sun Li looked around, smiled, and said: "The eldest prince has the right to rest assured, this place is still more than 30 miles away from Jiexiu, and the Bingzhou army guarding Jiexiu will not dare to venture out of the city, our army will rest here for a day today, and it is not too late to march into Jiexiu tomorrow." ”

Lingshi Pass is a deserted city, the scale is not too large, the terrain is very dangerous, Sun Li has served in Bingzhou before, and he is still very familiar with the terrain of Bingzhou, if you want to take Jiexiu, you must first take down the Lingshi, and the distance between Lingshi and Jiexiu is also just right, thirty miles, it is not far away, it is not close, if the Bingzhou army wants to sneak attack at night, this distance is somewhat difficult.

What's more, now Jiexiu does not have a field force of the state army, with just such a little garrison force, Sun Li did not pay attention to it at all, if they dared to come to a sneak attack, Sun Li would welcome it with both hands.

Don't look at the current Sima army is tired and the army is not in order, but after a short rest, he still has the strength to fight, and with the scattered men and horses of the state army, Sun Li didn't pay attention to it at all.

Sun Li had already studied the map of Bingzhou, where to camp, he had a plan in his heart, the terrain of Lingshi Pass was dangerous, it could be attacked and retreated, and it was probably more suitable to set up an advance base here.

What's more, according to the information obtained earlier, the state army was stationed in the area of Jiexiu and Lingshi Pass, and there was no garrison, so it was an ideal camp for Sun Li.

However, it was still early in the morning, Sun Li was not in a hurry to set up camp and set up the village, seeing that these Sima soldiers were as tired as dogs, he decided to let the soldiers rest for half an hour first, and then bury the pot to cook, set up camp, and set up the camp before dark.

As long as there is a camp as a barrier and protection, Sun Li is confident that even if the state army comes to attack at night, he can deal with it calmly.

But at this time, there was a sudden shout of killing on the east mountain, and the ambush soldiers rushed all the way towards them.

Sun Lizheng and Sima Shi Sima Zhao brothers discussed the matter of camping, and suddenly heard the sound of the Dongshan side, looked up, and saw that on the eastern slope, the state army was killing all over the field, and the three of them were shocked to lose their faces.

Sun Li was bent on guarding against a possible sneak attack by the Bingzhou army at night, but he never expected that they would launch an attack in broad daylight, and looking at this style, it was obvious that they had been ambushed here for a long time, just waiting for the arrival of Sima Jun. 11.
