Chapter 757: Fleeing the Road

Hu Fen's worries are not unreasonable, although the target of the current attack of the Bingzhou army is only the Sima army outside the city, but judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the Sima army outside the city is wiped out, and the battle outside the city will be completely ended in half an hour or three or two hours.

And once the battle outside the city is over, the target of the attack of the Bingzhou army will turn to Wanzi City, such a small city, there is no food and grass inside, and there are no reinforcements outside, Hu Fen doesn't know how long they can hold on.

It is true that the current Bingzhou army is sent by cavalry, and the cavalry is good at field combat and not good at attacking the city, but if the Sima army outside the city is cleared, they will only have to defend the bowl city, and once they go out of the city, they will be chased and slaughtered by the Bingzhou cavalry, and I am afraid that they will not even have the slightest strength to resist.

But to defend Bowl City, with only 5,000 men and horses in their hands, it is really difficult to say whether they can hold it, because the Bingzhou army not only has cavalry, but also infantry with excellent offensive ability, and Bowl City, such a small city, if it is surrounded, it will fall sooner or later.

Counting on Sima Yi's army to come to the rescue? I really can't count on this, although the straight-line distance from Wanzi City to Shimen Pass is not far, but there are mountains and mountains in the middle, if Sima Yi's army goes around here, I don't know how many roads to go, plus there is a blockade from the state army, Hu Fenzhen doesn't know when to wait.

But the battle situation on the side of Bowl City is not waiting for anyone, judging from the thunderous momentum of the Bingzhou cavalry attack, Cao Liang's purpose is to kill them neatly, and he will definitely not give them a chance to wait for reinforcements.

If you stick to the city, I'm afraid you will sit back and wait for death.

Hu Fen told Chen Tai about his worries, and Chen Tai also thought so, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the Bingzhou army had already known their plan to march from Yangjiban, so they mobilized their troops and set up ambushes around Wanzi City, intending to completely annihilate their partial division.

Chen Tai was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the main force of the Sima army is attacking Shimen Pass, and the state army must be unable to respond, how can there be spare strength to set up an ambush in Wanzi City?

And judging from the offensive of the Bingzhou Army, not only is there spare strength, it is estimated that it is the main cavalry force of the Bingzhou Army that appears around Wanzi City, do they really not need to send troops to defend Shimen Pass?

However, these problems are not of much significance to Chen Tai, whether they can hold the bowl city is the key, if the bowl city is lost, then they will definitely suffer a catastrophe.

They have already witnessed the terrible combat power of the Bingzhou cavalry, if it were not for this section of the high city wall, no one thought that they would be spared, they stayed in the city at the moment, like sheep in the sheepfold, and the Bingzhou cavalry under the city was more like a wolf pack eyeing the tiger, these Sima soldiers in the city, you can imagine what kind of experience it is for sheep to enter the wolf pack, I am afraid that there are no bones left.

Defending the city is undoubtedly sitting still, Chen Tai thought about it for a long time, and felt that he really couldn't wait like this anymore, if he didn't do it now, then the fate of these Sima troops outside the city would definitely be what he would face next.

After discussing with Hu Fen, Hu Fen's suggestion was to break through the siege as soon as the situation outside the city was not calm, maybe this was their only way out.

Chen Tai thought about it for a while, and finally made the decision to break through.

After breaking through, Sima Jun had to return along the Yangjibanyuan Road, so the city gate south of Wanzi City was opened.

At this time, there were still a lot of Sima soldiers gathered at the city gate, and when they saw the city gate open, they were all ecstatic, and they wanted to squeeze into the city gate, but more Sima soldiers poured out of the city, and they were suddenly confused, what's going on, didn't you see that the cavalry outside the city and the state were killing on a large scale, you can beat them when you come out of the city?

Chen Tai didn't care about the feelings of these soldiers outside the city, and after he ordered Sima Jun to leave the city, he immediately ran to Yangjiban and tried to escape.

Hu Fen is to gather his troops as much as possible, to gather those Sima soldiers who have fallen into the chaos of the army, but have not yet surrendered to the Bingzhou army, since they want to withdraw, it is naturally best to take more soldiers away, and the strength of the people is large, and when the siege is broken out, in the face of the pursuit of the Bingzhou army, the hope of success will be greater.

However, Hu Fen was able to gather only a few Sima soldiers, and in desperation, many Sima soldiers chose to surrender, accounting for almost the vast majority of the Sima soldiers who were still alive, and some of them continued to resist stubbornly, but they were already deeply surrounded by the Bingzhou cavalry, even if they wanted to escape, there was no way out.

Wanzicheng is very close to Yangjisaka, it can also be said that Wanzicheng is located at the exit of Yangjisaka, and the straight-line distance between the two is only less than half a mile, and the offensive of the state army is very fierce, but most of them are concentrated in the north and east and west, and a large-scale offensive has not yet been formed in the south.

This undoubtedly left a certain space for Chen Tai and Hu Fen to escape, in fact, at this time, it was less than half an hour before the Bingzhou army launched a full-scale attack, and no one thought that Sima Jun would flee at this time.

Deng Ai immediately observed Sima Jun's escape attempt, and he was about to order the Yue Cavalry Battalion to move closer to Yangjiban and strike an annihilating blow to Sima Jun's fleeing army.

Now Sima Jun's military spirit has basically collapsed, and in order to escape for their lives, they rushed to Yangjisaka, and even used the strength to eat milk.

Can the infantry outrun the cavalry? The answer should be no, even if you give the infantry two more legs, you may not be able to outrun the cavalry, but at this time, it is in response to that sentence, if you can't outrun the enemy, you can outrun your teammates, and at the moment of life and death, naturally your own life is more important.

The Yue cavalry battalion launched an attack on Sima Jun from the left flank, and the whirlwind-like shock wave continued to harvest Sima Bing's life, but the desire to survive made these Sima soldiers still desperately rush towards Yangjiban, in their opinion, as long as they set foot on the road of Yangjiban, there is hope for life.

Soon Shi Bao also commanded the Tun cavalry battalion to join the attack, under the attack of the Vietnamese cavalry and the Tun cavalry left and right, the Sima army's southward escape channel became narrower and narrower, and finally the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion joined forces, completely cutting off the retreat of the Sima army.

At this time, there were still more than 1,000 Sima troops in Wanzi City who did not have time to leave the city, and there were more than 1,000 Sima troops who were intercepted and killed after leaving the city.
