Chapter 967 - Finish the Battle

Cao Liang came to Dongguan to personally command the battle, which is probably the first time since he became the governor of the rebellion, which shows how the battle of Dongguan is in Cao Liang's heart.

Deng Ai and Shi Bao are also under pressure, because Cao Liang's requirements are very high, this time they are required to win the battle, and they must win a big victory, fight a drifting war of annihilation, it cannot be said that Sima Jun will not let go of any of them, but most of the people have no chance to return to Luoyang.

This is also the first battle after the restructuring of the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion, whether they can be qualified for Cao Liang's task In fact, Deng Ai and Shi Bao have no bottom, although the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion are equipped with new horse harness and equipment, and the improvement of combat effectiveness is obvious, but their opponents are more than twice as large cavalry as them.

If it is said that it is simply a victory, it may not be difficult for Deng Ai Shibao, but Cao Liang's request is not so simple, he wants to eat the opponent in one bite from the cavalry camp and the tun cavalry camp, and completely wipe out the 70,000 Sima cavalry, which is tantamount to setting up a problem for Deng Ai and Shi Bao.

As we all know, if you want to fight an ambush and annihilation war, at least in terms of troops, you are superior to your opponent, so that you can wrap dumplings handy, but if the skin is thin and the filling is large, it is likely that you will not be able to wrap it, and there is always a risk of revealing the filling.

But Cao Liang's determination is very great, and very resolute, as a decision-maker, his order is naturally irrefutable, Deng Ai and Shi Bao can only accept the order and be fully prepared for it.

There are difficulties, but opportunities also coexist, because Sima Yi did not know the existence of archers and heavy cavalry, so it was impossible for him to make corresponding arrangements, and the state army had every chance to kill him by surprise.

As for whether the Sima army can be completely annihilated, the flat box car formation that first ascended the camp will become the key, and only if they block the retreat of the Sima army, the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion can completely annihilate it.

On the side of the camp first, Cao Liang had also made full arrangements, and he asked the state army to think in one place, work hard in one place, and finish their work in one battle, and completely win the victory of this battle.

According to the news from the scouts, the Xiao cavalry camp was only more than ten miles away from Dongguan, and behind them, there was a huge number of Sima troops, mighty.

In fact, there was no need for a scout to report, everyone could see that the southern sky was already shrouded in yellow dust, and the original blue sky was like a sandstorm rolling up, covering the sky, and quickly advancing towards them, the sand and dust rolling, and even a sound like muffled thunder could be faintly heard, rumbling.

All the riders of the state army tightened their grip on their weapons and tightened their grips on the reins, knowing that the battle was coming.

Wen Qin also held the reins tightly, and he was galloping on his horse, but he did not forget to look back as he galloped forward.

Now Sima Jun is biting very tightly, and the vanguard is even only three or four miles away from them, Wen Qin can clearly see Sima Jun's banner when he turns around.

This time, after the distance between the Sima army was shortened, Wen Qin did not order the Xiao cavalry battalion to speed up and get rid of them, but deliberately kept a certain distance, because the end had arrived, and Wen Qin's task was to introduce more Sima troops into the ambush circle of the Bingzhou army.

It should be said that Wen Qin's task was completed very well, and almost all the Sima troops at this moment had been gathered together, not far behind the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

Sima Yi has a keen sense of war, and perhaps he has sensed the difference in the retreat of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, so in the process of pursuit, Sima Yi integrated the 70,000 cavalry as much as possible to form a mighty team.

Previously, Sima Yi had already suffered enough to be annihilated by Cao Liang, if this time Sima Jun was divided into two armies, it was likely that the front army would be ambushed by the Bingzhou army, Sima Yi felt the danger coming, so he would not repeat the mistakes of the past, and would not give Cao Liang a chance to break through.

When the 70,000 cavalry became a whole, Sima Yi was naturally very relieved, this would be an iron plate, an unusually thick iron plate, Cao Liang wanted to do it, then let him come, Sima Yi also wanted him to taste the feeling of kicking on the iron plate.

70,000 cavalry is already the strongest force led by Sima Yi in his life, and he has also commanded more than 100,000 and 200,000 men and horses before, but it is just a mixed army of infantry and cavalry, and the cavalry is only an auxiliary existence in the legion, not the main force.

But now 70,000 horses are purely cavalry, what a huge and powerful force this will be, just this deafening sound of horses' hooves, it has enough power to crush everything, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is invincible in the world, Sima Yi does not believe that there is any other strength that can compete with his team.

Sima Yi has been frantically expanding the military war in the past two years, and cultivating such a powerful cavalry is for today's battle of Bingzhou, although he also knows that Cao Liang has not stopped in the past two years, and he has to actively prepare for the battle, but Bingzhou is only a remote and poor state, and the Sima family can not compare with the many rich states mastered by the Sima family, whether it is in terms of financial resources or manpower, the Sima family has an absolute crushing momentum, and the Sima family has always held the opportunity on the road of expanding the armament war.

Although Sima Yi admits that the new harness made by Cao Liang can indeed improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the foundation of Bingzhou is too thin after all, and how can he compete with his large number of cavalry by relying only on these new harnesses.

In the final analysis, the war is still fought with resources, there are not enough economic resources and human resources, and no matter how much technological innovation is carried out, it is in vain.

This time, Sima Yi rode to the front line, and did not ride in his iconic chaser, of course, thanks to the high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups designed by Cao Liang.

Hey, this is indeed a good thing, even an old man like Sima Yi can easily control the war horse, so that Sima Yi can regain his long-lost feeling of youth.

These samples have been sent back to Luoyang, Sima Yi has ordered Luoyang's weapons workshop to concentrate manpower and make every effort to build some harnesses, I believe that it will not take long for all the cavalry of Sima Jun to be equipped with such harnesses, and comprehensively improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

This is probably the biggest contribution made by Cao Liang, but unfortunately, he himself may not have the opportunity to see it.
