Chapter 916: Lately Arrived Reinforcements
Sima Shi is frowning now, originally thought that after Sima Jun occupied a favorable mountain, Bingzhou would take the initiative to give up the attack, but he didn't expect that the enemy would not give up, and continuously launched long-range arrow attacks, so that Sima Jun had no power to fight back. āµ Eight āµ Eight āµ Read āµ Books, .ā.ā²o
Although the Sima army also had archers, they were completely suppressed at the moment, and they couldn't use bows and arrows, even if there were individual archers who could shoot arrows, they were weak and scarce, and they were not enough to pose a threat to the Bingzhou army.
Sima Jun's casualties were constantly increasing, which made Sima Shi very worried, and he couldn't figure out the true intention of the Bingzhou army, whether it was only to use the Wucheng attack or to prepare to attack the mountain directly after the attack?
Sima Shi did not dare to be careless, he ordered the whole army of Sima Jun to be on guard, strictly defend to the death, and never give the Bingzhou army any opportunity to take advantage of.
Of course, his order was basically for the troops above the mountainside, they were all outside the range of the bows and arrows of the state army, and the army below the mountainside, completely shrouded in the rain of arrows at the moment, could save their lives, it was already a good thing, that they had the ability to take care of the guard.
These Sima Jun, who survived by luck, trembled and waited for the end of the arrow rain, but this arrow rain seemed to be endless, and they couldn't figure out how many arrows they had in reserve, and they were desperately smashing them on the mountain without spending money, which was too extravagant, right?
Yanghu himself was not prepared to bring back these captured weapons, this time the spirit stone ambush, they themselves came lightly, if they retreated, they would also leave lightly, and it was impossible to take away the excess weapons and equipment at all.
Rather than destroying it, it is better to pour it down the low mountain, and it is good to kill and injure one more Sima soldier. [ā eight [ā eightā read [ā book,.".o@
Seeing that the east was white, the night was about to pass, and at this time, Yanghu received an urgent report: "General Qiyu, the Sima cavalry stationed in Pingyang is galloping towards Lingshi." ā
When Yanghu set up an ambush in Lingshi, he sent scouts to closely watch the movements of the Sima army in Pingyang, and if they were relatively close to the vanguard troops, Yanghu would have to change his fighting style.
However, Sima Yi seemed to have a lot of confidence in the vanguard of 30,000 people, so when the vanguard battalion approached Lingshi, Sima Jun's brigade was still stationed in Pingyang, and it was about 200 miles away from Lingshi.
Although this distance is nothing for the cavalry, and they can arrive in a short time, but after the battle of Lingshi Pass started, the army of Pingyang will at least get the news before they arrive, and it will take at least several hours for the news to be passed back and forth, so Yanghu still has nothing to fear.
After getting the news of the attack on the vanguard troops, Sima Yi must have been surprised, and immediately personally led the most elite cavalry troops to the rescue, the three leading generals of the vanguard battalion, two are his sons, and one is his favorite general, if there is a mistake, Sima Yi will regret it too late.
So after receiving the news, Sima Yi led the cavalry to the spirit stone as soon as possible.
Yanghu heard the news that Sima Army's reinforcements were coming, and he was not surprised at all, calculating the time, Sima Army's reinforcements should also come, Yanghu did not fall in love with the battle, and decisively ordered the withdrawal of the army.
From Lingshi to Jiexiu, a distance of more than thirty miles, if the infantry battalion advances lightly, I believe that even if the cavalry of the Sima Army is fast, it may not be able to catch up.
Moreover, Yanghu believed that the cavalry of the Sima army was worried about an ambush, and they would not necessarily rush forward, and their goal this time was to rescue the army trapped in Lingshi, and they might not dare to chase all the way to Jiexiu City.
So when Yanghu ordered the withdrawal of the army, he was quite calm, before leaving, he glanced at the low mountain, originally there was a chance to catch Sima Shi and Sima Zhao in this battle, but it was a pity that in the end it was still missed, as long as it was only in Japan.
"I'll see you at Jiexiu Castle." Yanghu whispered and turned his horse away.
The state army withdrew quickly, and in an instant, they were all in the morning mist.
The battle came to an abrupt end, and Sima Bing, who had been tortured by the rain of arrows, could finally poke out a head, and the protective shield or the corpse in front of him was densely filled with arrows, making them feel abruptly uneasy, so many arrows, no matter which one hit their vital point, they all had to die, and it should be a lucky thing to survive under this dense rain of arrows.
The sudden cessation of the offensive of the Bingzhou army made Sima Shi vigilant, could it be that the Bingzhou army was preparing to attack the mountain?
However, there was a thick fog under the mountain, and it was impossible to see any movement of the Bingzhou army, but Sima Shi did not dare to have any slackness, overcame the irrepressible fatigue, and ordered the army not to relax, pay close attention to the movements of the Bingzhou army, and once it was found that the Bingzhou army took advantage of the fog to launch a sneak attack, it was necessary to counterattack at the first time.
However, they waited for a long time, and it seemed that there was no movement of the Bingzhou army under the mountain, but in the distance, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and listening to the sound, it came from the south.
Reinforcements! It's reinforcements arriving!
At this moment, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out on the dead mountain, and the arrival of reinforcements meant the end of their nightmare, it was not easy, it was really not easy to escape from death on this battlefield.
Sima Zhao danced happily, the battle he experienced on this day was enough for him to remember deeply, but fortunately, everything had passed, and Sima Zhao wanted to go down the mountain to meet the reinforcements.
But Sima Shi stopped him, although Sima Shi also felt that the cavalry who came at this time should be their reinforcements, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, if this is a trap of the state army to lure them down the mountain, wouldn't it be a trick?
For the sake of prudence, Sima Shi did not go down the mountain easily, but sent scouts to investigate, making sure that it was his own army that would not be too late to descend the mountain.
When Sima Yi heard the news that the pioneer camp was attacked in Lingshi, he quickly ordered 50,000 cavalry to rush directly to Lingshi, and traveled all night, finally arriving at Lingshi Pass at dawn.
When he heard the news, Sima Yi immediately felt remorseful, because the first battle he planned was to attack Jiexiu, and the siege did not need cavalry, and the cavalry prepared by Sima Yi was to deal with the three major cavalry battalions in Bingzhou, so he sent 30,000 infantry to Jiexiu.
It stands to reason that it is enough for 30,000 infantry to attack a city with not too many defenders, but I didn't expect the Bingzhou army to be anti-guest-oriented, set up an ambush in Lingshi, and caught them off guard.
However, Sima Yi is not too worried that the forward battalion will be hit hard, after all, the Bingzhou army will not be able to come up with a comparable army anyway, even if the 30,000 vanguard battalion is trapped, how much can it lose in one day and one night, as long as his reinforcements arrive, the Bingzhou army will not collapse? 11.
