Chapter 960: Self-Help
Xia-san is close to the mountains to the east, and the terrain here cannot be called a flat river, and the rolling hills make the terrain a little complicated, but this does not hinder the movement of the cavalry.
According to the original plan, the cavalry battalion would go north from here to Dongguan and introduce the Sima army into the ambush circle of the Bingzhou army.
But now they can't go if they want to, because in the two directions in front, there were ambushes of the Sima army, blocking their way to the north, and the Sima army chasing soldiers behind them were already pressing step by step, only more than ten miles away from them, and they were coming in an instant.
After getting the news that there was an ambush ahead, Wen Qin's heart sank suddenly, in fact, along the way, Wen Qin was most worried about this, the Xiao cavalry battalion has enough speed, but there is no need to worry about being caught up by the pursuers behind, but if the ambush soldiers in front intercept it, they will be in an unfavorable situation.
Therefore, when Wen Qin was marching, he used different routes as much as possible to prevent Sima Jun's interception, but he didn't expect that Sima Jun still calculated that he would take the road of Xiasang, and ambushed Xiasang in advance, so that the Xiaocai camp was in a predicament.
Wen Qin ordered the cavalry battalion to suspend its advance, and in the case of the enemy's unclear situation, he did not dare to act rashly, so he could only shrink his forces and build a temporary defensive line, preparing to find out the enemy's situation before launching an operation.
The Sima army on the opposite side also seemed to be surrounded but not attacked, although they had intercepted the cavalry battalion, but they did not move, and did not show the intention of attacking, so the two sides were in a stalemate.
But Wen Qin knew that the reason why Sima Jun did not move should be waiting for Sima Jun's follow-up men and horses to come, and the performance of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion against the right wing battalion in the first battle was indeed amazing enough, so that no Sima Army cavalry dared to fight with the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
Therefore, there is not much time left for the Xiao cavalry battalion to break through, if you wait now and do nothing, when all the 70,000 troops of Sima Jun besiege it, it will be too late.
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion is much higher than before, but it is a big mistake to prove that the cavalry battalion is invincible in the world, if it is against the same number of enemy cavalry, the cavalry battalion is confident that it can deal with it with ease, but in the face of seven times its own troops, I am afraid that no one thinks that the cavalry battalion can win.
If the cavalry battalion really wants to have the kind of combat effectiveness of one enemy against seven, then why not run wildly, turn around and destroy the girl.
In fact, no one dares to be so big, including the cavalry general Wen Qin, who will not have any illusions about such a disparity in forces, and it is simply a dream to fight against one enemy and seven.
Wen Qin's lieutenant proposed a plan to hold on to help, Wen Qin immediately objected, thinking that the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion were far away in the east, and they were counting on the Xiao cavalry battalion to introduce the Sima army into the encirclement, and when they received the news and came to the rescue, they were afraid that the Xiao cavalry camp was already surrounded by the Sima Legion, even if it was the Yue cavalry battalion and the tun cavalry battalion, it would not be easy to save the Xiao cavalry battalion from the hands of the Sima army of 70,000 people.
Not only is it difficult to rescue the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, but even the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Tun Cavalry Battalion may be folded here.
Originally, it was the Bingzhou army that ambushed Sima Jun, but now it is surrounded by others to send reinforcements, and this result is by no means what Wen Qin wants to see.
Therefore, the plan of standing still and waiting for rescue will not work at all, and if the cavalry battalion wants to retreat, it must save itself, and cannot rely on anyone.
Moreover, whether the cavalry battalion successfully breaks through or not is related to the arrangement of the entire strategic plan of the state army, and there is no difference between waiting in place and sitting still.
Without further ado, Wen Qin immediately issued an order, asking all the cavalry battalions to prepare and immediately launch a breakthrough battle.
After galloping for two days in a row, even if the cavalry battalion was iron-clad, there were times when it was tired, and the situation was depressing at the moment, and the morale of the soldiers was obviously obviously low.
In this case, Wen Qin was not discouraged, can the situation faced by the Xiaocai battalion now be more severe than when it retreated from Luoyang? The most arduous battle of the cavalry battalion was not defeated and survived, so the current situation is obviously not a big deal.
"Sons, the tiger and leopard cavalry roamed the world back then, experienced a hundred battles, and has never been afraid of any battle, today, the Xiao cavalry battalion will not have any bad seeds, follow me to fight a bloody road!" Wen Qin pulled the knife in his hand, raised his arms and shouted.
At this time, the role of the leading general is undoubtedly highlighted, if Wen Qin flinched, then the entire Xiao cavalry battalion will completely collapse, but if Wen Qin can take the lead in standing up, it will inevitably greatly boost morale, there will never be smooth sailing on the battlefield, the battle against the wind must be fought, the battle against the wind must also be fought, the Xiao cavalry battalion has the glorious heritage of tiger and leopard riding, and their belief in fighting to the death will never collapse.
Wen Qin was originally a general who was good at charging into battle, although he was a general of the cavalry at this time, commanding the cavalry battalion, but at the moment of crisis, he was still able to stand up and charge on the front line.
Under Wen Qin's leadership, the fighting spirit of the Xiao cavalry battalion was rekindled, and they immediately took the lead in attacking the north to attack the Sima army position in front without waiting for the Sima army to form an encirclement.
The Sima army that intercepted the front had two battalions of troops, one in the northeast and the other in the northwest, and at the same time blocked the two roads north of the Xiaocai battalion.
Generally speaking, the two armies have their own leading generals, and the camp of the army is a whole, and the combat effectiveness is relatively stronger, but the connection between the two armies, often because of the relationship between the command, it is difficult to form a unified and effective combat effectiveness, and Wen Qin deliberately looks for a breakthrough from the junction of the two armies, which is naturally very targeted.
However, Sima Jun seems to have noticed this problem, and in this direction, it is not the weak brigade that is arranged, but the strongest unit in Sima Jun.
Moreover, for the forced breakthrough of the Xiao cavalry battalion, Sima Jun also seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and they used the terrain to set up a defensive formation at the beginning to block the offensive of the Bingzhou army.
The cavalry battalion increased its speed to the extreme, and the galloping horses stirred up the dust and smoke that rushed to the sky, and they shouted loudly one by one, murderous like a cloud, like a tiger, like a flood that burst the embankment, and rushed towards the position of Sima Jun with an unstoppable momentum.
