Chapter 972: The Frightened Bird
Not to mention that the ordinary Sima Bing looked dazed, even Hu Fen and these generals were completely confused, this order came too suddenly, it was completely contrary to the previous plan, the battle had not really started, so they retreated in a hurry, what kind of medicine could their boss Sima Yi sell in this gourd?
Perhaps ordinary soldiers will still question the authenticity of this order, but a general like Hu Fen knows very well that this order must have come from Sima Yi, because no one has dared to fake military orders and joke with their own heads.
Moreover, the people who gave the order were all Sima Yi's cronies and Zhongjun, so there would be no fake at all.
The military order was like a mountain, and Hu Fen and others did not dare to disobey, and ordered all the troops to stop advancing and began to turn around and retreat.
The saddest thing was the right wing battalion and Man Bing, when they were attacked, they had expected to get support from other departments, but they didn't expect that instead of waiting for reinforcements, they received an order to retreat, which made them feel sad and indignant.
This is so special that they are about to abandon the rhythm of their right-wing battalion!
The right-wing battalion lost more than 1,000 men when it was attacked by the cavalry battalion for the first time, and this time it was attacked by the cavalry battalion, the losses were even greater, almost half of the people were killed or wounded, and the right-wing battalion was almost disabled.
Even if Man Bing wanted to counterattack, the Viet Cavalry battalion did not give them a chance to get close at all, and no matter how the right wing battalion attacked, the Viet Cavalry battalion always kept a certain distance from them and continued to strike at them.
Without the support of the other battalions, the right battalion would not have lasted much at all.
At the first time of the enemy's attack, Man Bing had already asked the Chinese army for help, and he thought that the reinforcements from the other battalions would arrive soon, but he waited left and right, that is, he could never see the shadow of the reinforcements, which Man Bing was a little panicked.
The reason why he dared to press on and counterattack the Vietnamese cavalry battalion was that he had the solid backing of the other 60,000 cavalry, and if there was no reinforcement support, the right wing battalion would have counterattacked so vigorously and it was completely a rhythm of death.
But Man Bing waited and waited, but in the end he waited for the order to retreat, Man Bing simply wanted to cry without tears, other battalions were not attacked by the Bingzhou army, and the retreat was relatively smooth, but the right wing battalion was entangled by the Bingzhou army, and the attack could not be attacked, if you want to withdraw, it is estimated that the Bingzhou army will not agree, if there is no assistance from other battalions, even if the right battalion can get rid of the attack of the Yuecai battalion, it will have to shed its skin if it does not die.
As soon as Sima Yi's order to retreat was issued, the entire Sima army suddenly became chaotic, and the various departments were already turning around, but it was not easy for such a huge army to successfully complete the turn.
Man Bing could not get the assistance of other battalions, and he could only be forced to retreat forcibly, and when they retreated, the Yue cavalry battalion naturally would not stand idly by, and immediately pursued forward, shooting Sima Jun with bows and arrows.
The right battalion was overwhelmed, and if there was still hope for reinforcements before, so that they would not be too desperate, but now that they had begun to retreat, and the battalions were left to their own devices, the right battalion was completely desperate, and they fled wildly, as if they wanted to escape the arrows of the cavalry battalion and pick up a life to go back.
Although the cavalry fled much faster than the infantry, their speed was still too much worse than that of the arrows, and they could only hear the sound of arrows breaking through the air in the back of their heads, and many Sima cavalrymen were hit by arrows in their backs and fell off their horses one after another.
The target of the Yue cavalry battalion is not limited to the right wing battalion at this moment, the right wing battalion has basically been disabled by the Yue cavalry battalion, and the right wing battalion led by Man Bing is already one or two out of ten, and the Yue cavalry battalion began to attack the other battalions of the Sima army in retreat.
Like the right-wing battalion, the other battalions of the Sima army were extremely unsuitable for this style of play of the Vietnamese cavalry battalion, and the whole army was in retreat, so naturally no one came to organize a counterattack.
Cao Liang really didn't expect that Sima Yi would become a frightened bird, just encountered an ambush by the Yue cavalry battalion, and when the battle was even limited to a small area, and did not spread to the main force of Sima Jun, Sima Yi actually issued an order to retreat.
You must know that Cao Liang's real killer weapon has not yet been used, and Sima Yi has retreated decisively, can it be said that Sima Yi has already smelled any danger?
Cao Liang also had to admire Sima Yi's acumen, it is impossible for ordinary people to perceive the coming of this danger, at first Cao Liang sent the cavalry battalion to lure the enemy deeper, the purpose was to make Sima Jun relax his vigilance, and he was not impressed by the changes in the equipment of the Bingzhou army.
Secondly, the Yue cavalry battalion was sent to attack, and it did not rashly expand the battle, but only used the long-range attacks of the Yue cavalry battalion to continuously consume the living strength of the Sima army, thus inducing the main force of the Sima army to move to the right flank.
In the end, the heavy cavalry of the tun cavalry battalion is Cao Liang's real hole card, and they will appear with a thunderous force and launch the final fatal blow to Sima Jun.
The Tun Cavalry Battalion was ready for battle and ready to attack at any time, and the reason why Cao Liang did not give the order was precisely to wait for a suitable opportunity, so as to win the best result.
But no one expected that Sima Yi would suddenly order the entire line to retreat after only the right-wing battalion suffered a blow, and even the right-wing battalion that was entangled with the Bingzhou army made Sima Yi give up.
Compared with the loss of a cavalry battalion and the entire 70,000-strong army, it is naturally clear which is more important than the other, and there is a great risk in rescuing the right-wing battalion, and once the main force is involved, it will be difficult to get out.
Although Sima Yi didn't know how powerful the Tun Cavalry Camp was, he had already felt a rather dangerous aura from the Xiao Cavalry Camp and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, which had to make him cautious.
Sima Yi, the three main cavalrymen of the Bingzhou Army, has already seen two, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, one is more terrible than the other, one is more powerful than the other, according to the principle of easy first and then difficult, I am afraid that the Tun Cavalry Battalion, which has not appeared so far, is by no means good, and may even be more terrifying than the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion.
Sima Yi has already sensed the abnormality of the situation, with the strength of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion now, Sima Jun is already invincible, if you add the mysterious Tun Cavalry Battalion that has never shown up until now, it is very difficult for Sima Jun to win this battle, so the long pain is better than the short pain, Sima Yi decisively withdrew the army, which also caught Cao Liang off guard.
