Chapter 705: Hot Pursuit
Sima Shi was slightly stunned, he had become accustomed to Sima Yi's forbearance and restraint over the years, and almost forgot that his father was actually a decisive person.
Sima Shi couldn't help but get excited, the humiliation that had been suppressed in his heart for many years could finally be snowed, he bowed down to receive the order, and immediately ordered the soldiers and horses on the hour, and went towards the Great Xia Gate.
This is also thanks to his identity as the middle guard, although the forbidden army is under the command of the central army, but the selection of the military attache in charge of the middle guard army, Sima Shi's middle guard army in recent years has not been in vain, almost all the middle and lower-level military attaches in the forbidden army are selected by Sima Shilin, so Sima Shi took over the forbidden army from Cao Shuang and Cao Xi, and there are almost no management obstacles.
Just when Sima Shi was counting the soldiers and horses, the Hou housekeeper of Sima Mansion hurriedly ran over and told Sima Shi that the eldest lady Sima Ru was missing.
In fact, Sima Ru's escape from the mansion was yesterday, but when Sima Ru escaped, she used the golden cicada to get out of her shell, she let her maid put on her clothes and pretend to be her, and she wore the maid's clothes and sneaked out of the mansion quietly.
And Steward Hou didn't find out that the eldest lady was missing until the next day, so he hurriedly came to report to Sima Shi.
When Sima Shi heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, there was no doubt that Sima Ru ran out to find Cao Liang, it was really a girl's foreign minister, and his elbow turned out.
You must know that Sima Shi originally disagreed with Cao Liang and Sima Ru's family affair, but Sima Yi married Sima Ru to Cao Liang in order to stabilize Cao Liang.
Although he didn't go to the door, Sima Shi already regarded this family affair as a great shame, Cao Liang had a hatred for taking his wife, and now he had to give his daughter to him as a concubine, which was simply a handful of salt on his wounds.
Well, for the sake of the Sima family's rebellion, Sima Shi endured it, and now it was finally his turn to fight back, but he didn't expect this uncompetitive daughter to take the initiative to throw herself into her arms, and it was strange not to blow up Sima Shi's lungs.
"How can this be justified, how can it be justified! This is really angry and kills me! That's it, just because my Sima Shi didn't give birth to this daughter, and later broke through Kim Yong City, I will be killed! Sima Shi was so angry that Sima Ru simply lost his face, and he swore that he would never recognize this daughter again.
The forbidden army soon completed the assembly, since the abolition of the two battalions of the backbone and the base, the soldiers and horses of the two battalions were all merged into the armed guards, making the armed guards unprecedentedly large, and the five battalions of the Chinese army were also reduced to three battalions, except for the Xiaocai battalion under the command of Cao Yan, the guerrilla battalion has always been under the command of Chen Tai.
The establishment of the five battalions of the Chinese army is different from the five schools of the Northern Army, the five schools of the Northern Army are separated from the cavalry, the Yue cavalry is cavalry, and the infantry is infantry, while the five battalions of the Chinese army are pure cavalry, except for the Xiao cavalry battalion, the rest of the battalions are mixed with infantry and cavalry, and the cavalry occupies a considerable proportion.
Now the Wuwei Army is dominant, and there are as many as 10,000 cavalry alone, which is twice the number of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, not including the cavalry of the guerrilla battalion, so Sima Shi is not afraid of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion at all, and the Wu Wei Army has as many as 30,000 infantry, such a powerful offensive force, it is naturally not a problem to take a small Kim Yong City.
Sima Zhao also led Sima's soldiers to help in the battle at this time, and Chen Tai also came with him.
Although Chen Tai was appointed by Sima Yi as the new lieutenant of the division, he did not relinquish the position of guerrilla general, but continued to hold it concurrently, so the guerrilla battalion was still under his command.
Of course, it was impossible for Sima Shi to take all the Wuwei troops out, so he ordered 10,000 cavalry and infantry, plus 5,000 cavalry from the guerrilla battalion, black-clothed dead soldiers, and 5,000 soldiers from various families, for a total of 30,000 troops, and headed towards the Great Xia Gate.
Although this is not all the power controlled by the Sima family now, Sima Shi is confident that it is more than enough to use it against Cao Liang, Cao Liang's biggest reliance now is only the 5,000 Xiao cavalry battalion, and he led an army of 30,000 to crush him.
The only fly in the ointment is that Luoyang's arsenal was burned by Cao Liang, and now the forbidden army has no other supplements except for the commonly used weapons, and all the heavy equipment such as catapults, siege lathes, crossbows, etc., have been destroyed, otherwise Sima Shi is even more powerful.
Of course, Sima Shi didn't have to worry too much, after all, his side had an absolute advantage in troops, and even without those heavy equipment, it would be easy to break through Kim Yong City.
The Great Xia Gate was originally under the control of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but this morning, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion guarding the city gate had all been evacuated, and the Great Xia Gate was controlled by Sima Wang, who came later.
Sima Wang wore linen and filial piety, if it weren't for Sima Yi's order, he would have led his troops out of the city to avenge his father.
Sima Shi's arrival made Sima Wang see the hope of revenge, and he greeted him from afar, saying, "Ziyuan, has my uncle ever ordered to go out of the city to kill the enemy?" ”
Sima Wang is three years older than Sima Shi, seeing Sima Wang's vengeful appearance, Sima Shi also empathizes, Cao Liang, a thief, has a deep blood feud with the Sima family, and it is indeed difficult to solve the hatred in his heart if he does not cut him with a thousand knives.
"Yes, my father ordered me to go out of the city to crusade against Cao Liang, and my first brother can go with me."
Sima Wang was overjoyed, he was already eager to see through this opportunity, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and Sima's army rushed out, hoping that Kim Yong City would be killed.
Kim Yong Cheng and Daxia Gate were not far apart, and after Sima Shi left the city, he immediately ordered a large army to besiege Kim Yong Cheng.
However, strangely enough, although the gates of Kim Yong City were closed, there was no figure to be seen on the city, and Sima Shi suddenly became suspicious and ordered the sergeant to carry a tree trunk and slam the door.
It took almost no effort to knock the gate open, but Sima's army entered the city, only to find that Kim Yong City was nothing more than an empty city, and Cao Liang and the cavalry camp were long gone.
Ran away? Sima Shi immediately sent scout cavalry to investigate around, and soon learned of Cao Liang's whereabouts, originally they abandoned Kim Yong City and headed for the Xiaopingjin Ferry.
It seems that Cao Liang went to the state, how Sima Shi was willing to give up, and immediately ordered the army to be divided into two cavalry divisions, the cavalry was fast, set off first, and then the infantry followed, and Cao Liang must be intercepted on the south bank of the Yellow River and annihilated.
After dividing the troops, Sima Shi personally led the cavalry to break through, and ten thousand horses galloped, closely following the ruts left by Cao Liang's army, chasing after them relentlessly, and chased them to the foot of the Beibi Mountain in one go.
