Chapter 990: Withdrawal

After the defeat of Qi County, Sima Jun withdrew to Jiexiu, but Sima Yi was seriously injured and did not recover, and the whole army was disheartened.

Now the Sima army has lost almost all the cavalry, and in the field battle, it is at an absolute disadvantage, and their large camp is under the city of Jiexiu, such a camp is difficult to withstand the impact of the cavalry of Bingzhou.

This is also the consequence of not being able to take Jiexiu City, if Sima Jun can occupy Jiexiu City at this moment, relying on the strong defense of Jiexiu City, it can completely block the attack of the cavalry of Jiexiu.

What's more, the impact of the battle of Qixian on the entire Sima army is great, the people are panicked, the fighting spirit is sluggish, and the whole army is like a plate of scattered sand, even if they still have 100,000 troops at the moment, but Sima Shi can no longer guarantee that they have the ability to compete with the Bingzhou army.

The withdrawal of the army has become a matter that must be considered, and if they continue to stay under the city of Jiexiu, Sima's army is likely to suffer an even greater defeat from the enemy.

Although this was a difficult decision, Sima Shi thought twice and decided to withdraw his troops first, give up the land they had already captured, and retreat to Pingyang, Hedong, relying on a strong city to hold on, which could also stabilize the decline of Sima Jun for the time being.

All in all, this attack on the state, Sima Jun suffered the most complete defeat, such a defeat, even Sima Jun is vitality is greatly damaged, in the next few years, may not be able to gather troops and horses, the third attack on the state.

The generals don't seem to have different opinions, the current battle situation is indeed a great disadvantage for Sima Jun, and the Sima Army suffered the defeat of Qi County after a long time, and what is even more difficult for them to accept is that Sima Yi was also seriously injured, which is even more heavy than the loss of 70,000 cavalry.

You must know that Sima Yi is the backbone of the Sima Army, without him, it is indeed difficult for the Sima Army to maintain, and now Sima Yi is seriously injured and cannot take care of things, so that the entire Sima Army is scattered, and withdrawal has become their only choice.

Fortunately, at this time, the Bingzhou army did not take the initiative to attack, which provided favorable conditions for the withdrawal of Sima Jun, otherwise, the two armies would be entangled, and it would not be easy for Sima Jun to retreat with his whole body.

As for the defenders of Jiexiu City, Sima Shi didn't have too much to worry about, they were at best a group of turtles with shrunken heads, only relying on the strong city defense of Jiexiu City, even if they borrowed a few courages, they might not dare to go out of the city to fight, even if the Huaima army withdrew in a big way, they would definitely not go out of the city to pursue.

What worries Sima Shi is still the cavalry of Bingzhou, although he did not experience the tragic battle, but in the frightened eyes of those survivors, he can get the answer, how terrible the cavalry of Bingzhou is.

A tiger and wolf army that can't even stop 70,000 cavalry, how can the 100,000 infantry of the Sima army be able to stop it? You must know that these 70,000 cavalry itself is the existence of the main force in Sima Yi's army, and it is the key to Sima Yi's crusade against the state, in terms of combat effectiveness, these 70,000 cavalry are especially above the 100,000 infantry, and even these cavalry with strong combat effectiveness have been defeated, Sima Shi really doesn't know what to do?

If the state army takes advantage of the victory at this time, it will be an extremely severe test for Sima Shi, who has just taken power.

However, according to the news reported by the scouts, the Bingzhou army did not seem to have any intention of pursuing, perhaps they thought that this victory was enough for them to drink a few days of celebratory wine, and at this time, the camp of the Bingzhou army would definitely fall into an all-night revelry, and there would be no time to take care of the attack.

"Rat-eyed!" Sima Shi glanced at Qi County with disdain, although this battle was fought well by the state army, and it was indeed worth celebrating, but because of the celebration, he lost the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, which is probably the most unwise choice.

In order to successfully complete the withdrawal this time, Sima Shi still arranged the most elite team to break the rear, but he also knew that if the Bingzhou army did its best to attack, his so-called elite broken rear troops would probably be more than lucky.

Fortunately, the Bingzhou army did not chase after him, which also provided an opportunity for the Sima army to retreat.

After the order to withdraw the army was issued, the soldiers and horses of all battalions and units of the Sima Army immediately prepared to pack and set off at any time.

With such a large-scale military operation, chaos is naturally inevitable, but overall, it is still within the control of Sima Shi.

However, Sima Shi still has some emotion, if it is Sima Yi who leads the army at this moment, he will naturally do much better than him, Sima Shi has followed Sima Yi many times in the past few years, and he has not learned a lot of things, but if he reaches Sima Yi's level, Sima Shi still has a lot of things to learn.

Regarding the withdrawal of troops, Sima Shi also consulted Sima Yi's opinion, although Sima Yi is in very poor physical condition now, sometimes unconscious and sometimes sober, but when Sima Ma Yi was awake, Sima Shi still told him the decision to withdraw the army, and he made the decision.

Sima Yi expressed his approval of Sima Shi's decision to withdraw the army, probably even if Sima Yi can be the director, he will give an order to withdraw the army, Jiexiu is already a place of right and wrong, Sima Jun stays here, in a dilemma, this is not a good phenomenon, only the withdrawal of the army is the key to solving the problem once and for all.

Come while the excitement is coming, and return in defeat, this is probably what all the Sima soldiers dare to think in their hearts but dare not say on their lips, thinking that the 170,000 foot cavalry waved the Northern Expedition, swallowing like a tiger, mighty, and imposing.

And now when he retreated, he was all depressed, frowning, and depressed, and even the banner he was holding was a weak look, and Sima Shi couldn't help frowning when he saw it.

If this is the case for individual soldiers, then it is the time when Sima Shi is in power, and casually killing a few of them for the crime of neglecting the morale of the army can have the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

But now the whole army is in this state, and even the generals who lead the troops are sighing one by one, Sima Shi really can't punish anyone, so he won't line up these 100,000 people to cut off their heads, right?

Of course, Sima Shi wanted to command an army full of vigor and combat strength, but the prerequisite for such an army was to fight a beautiful victory, and if Sima Shi wanted to reorganize Sima Army, he had to rely on victory to boost morale.

But at this stage, it's not easy to do that. ntent
