Chapter 768: Two Battles and Two Victories

After Hu Zun and Wang Jing were captured, the battle of Baishuichuan was coming to an end, the leaderless Sima army was like a plate of scattered sand, under the strong attack of the Bingzhou army, completely collapsed, in despair, most of the army surrendered to the Bingzhou army, the rest were killed, and no one fled.

In this battle, the state army fought extremely beautifully, and simply annihilated Hu Zun's 30,000 horses, plus the battle of Wanzi City two days ago, the state army has already broken Sima Army's two ways of men and horses, and won successive battles.

The staff congratulated Cao Liang one after another, and they were so impressed that they threw themselves to the ground. When Cao Liang put forward this plan, many people were actually not optimistic, thinking that Cao Liang's appetite was too great, and it would be difficult to defeat or even want to completely annihilate the two Sima armies whose total number of troops was almost the same as that of the Bingzhou Army within three days.

There is a cloud in the art of war, ten are to encircle it, five to attack it, and multiple is to divide it, and it is impossible to fight a war of annihilation without ten times the absolute strength of the enemy.

But Cao Liang seems to be a person who was born to create miracles, two battles in three days, more than 300 miles, and just completed such a seemingly impossible task, destroying more than 47,000 enemies, and the brilliant results are incredible.

Cao Liang smiled slightly, in fact, he was confident of this result, Sima Jun divided his troops, and there was a lack of contact between the various departments, which undoubtedly gave him a chance to break through.

If you look at the total strength alone, the Sima army is indeed very strong, even reaching three times the number of the Bingzhou army, but the Bingzhou army is not at a disadvantage when facing any of its men and horses alone, especially the east and west roads, and even occupies a local advantage.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the advantage of the Bingzhou army is even more obvious, Cao Liang grouped three cavalry battalions to form a large cavalry corps, and its combat effectiveness is the strongest, which is not at all something that the Sima army can deal with with the two infantry-based armies, and the Bingzhou army has a strength that can almost be crushed.

Because of this, Cao Liang dared to make a three-day plan, although this plan seemed a bit crazy to many, and once Cao Liang's attack was blocked, he would fall into a disadvantageous situation.

But Cao Liang just stubbornly pulled his teeth, and while blocking Sima Yi's army at Shimen Pass, he continuously knocked on the two Sima armies on the east and west roads, and finally completely reversed the situation of the battle of Shangdang.

Sima Yi's three-way siege plan was bankrupt, and now Cao Liang only needed to face Sima Yi's army on the south road, and the pressure was invisibly reduced a lot.

However, Sima Yi's army alone has reached 100,000 people, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is far stronger than Chen Tai and Hu Zun, and there is a scheming Sima Yi in charge, and his strength is still above the state army.

Therefore, Cao Liang knew that even after two battles and two victories, the situation was still extremely grim, but the slightly good news was that Du Yu successfully resisted the attack of Sima Jun at Shimen Pass, although the shooting battalion also paid a lot of price, but he finally gritted his teeth and carried it.

According to the agreement between Cao Liang and Du Pre in advance, today is the day when Du Pre will evacuate Shimen Pass, and before Cao Liang issues a new order, Du Pre will definitely withdraw from Shimen Pass as promised.

Once the Shimen Pass is withdrawn, the Sima army will flock into the Shangdang Basin, and the situation of the next battle will undergo new changes.

In the face of Shimen Pass, this hard bone to gnaw, Sima Shi was a little anxious, for three consecutive days, Sima Jun's attack almost never stopped, after the fierce attack during the day, the night continued to pick up the lights and fight at night, and continued to maintain the offensive posture, always giving Shimen Pass's Bingzhou defenders extremely great pressure.

However, the efficiency of the attack was never high, and no matter how Sima Shi dispatched and dispatched his troops, Shimen Pass was always an insurmountable barrier in front of them.

In the past three days, Sima Shi has almost never slept and always stood on the front line to direct the battle, and the single eye on his right is covered with bright red bloodshots, looking hideous and terrifying.

Chen Qian comforted: "The eldest prince doesn't have to be too anxious, the enemy army occupies a dangerous position, it is only advisable to Xu Tuzhi, not to be in a hurry, the eldest prince must take care of his body." ”

Sima Shi shook his head gently, and said with a firm gaze: "If you don't take the Shimen Pass, you will never take half a step back!" ”

Chen Qian was a little speechless, Sima Shi did fight very hard, but this kind of attack is often not a day or two to decide the winner, although the Sima army occupies an absolute advantage in troops, but limited by the terrain of Shimen Pass, each attack will not invest a lot of troops, which greatly reduces the effect of the offensive.

And the defense of the state army is very tenacious, they stick to the stone wall, and Sima army to carry out hand-to-hand combat, this stone wall, has changed hands several times, when the Sima army captured, and the state army under the command of Du Pre, it will launch a counter-impact, from the hands of the Sima army and then take back the stone wall, so that the tug-of-war has lasted for a long time, although the state army is at a disadvantage, but their tenacious defense, so that Sima Shi is also a headache.

Sima Shi has been standing on the front line for three consecutive days, and has never rested, Chen Qian is very worried about his physical condition, no matter how he continues, the iron man will be tired, so Chen Qian advised Sima Shi to take a break, don't work too hard.

But Sima Shi's attitude was quite resolute, and he vowed not to take Shimen Pass, and never retreated to rest.

Chen Qian had no choice but to set his sights on Zhong Hui, hoping that he could persuade Sima Shi.

Zhong Hui bowed slightly, and said to Sima Shi: "The eldest prince, after three days of fighting, our army is also very tired, so it is better to rest for the night tonight, and attack again tomorrow, combining work and rest, the effect may be better." ”

Sima Shi frowned and said: "Now that our army has been attacking for three days in a row, the enemy army is at the end of its strong crossbow, and our army is resting, won't it give the enemy a chance to breathe, I'm afraid it's not appropriate?" ”

Zhong Hui smiled leisurely and said: "Shimen Pass is a dangerous place, and the state army is defended by danger, the eldest prince continues to attack, the enemy does not dare to slack off, naturally go all out, if our army rests for a night, the enemy army will slacken, as the so-called one drum, and then decline, three and exhaustion, and so on tomorrow when the battle is renewed, the enemy's morale will be greatly reduced, maybe tomorrow again, it will be twice the result with half the effort." ”
