The first confrontation between the two sides was a complete victory, Cao Yan rushed to the front in the first place, played an exemplary role, Xiao cavalry under the leadership of Cao Yan, with a strong impact, instantly penetrated the formation of Sima Jun, killing the opponent is to throw away his armor and flee in embarrassment.

Cao Yan did not chase after him, but stopped the attack when he rushed to the foot of the mountain, and stopped in moderation.

The cavalry battalion took advantage of the terrain, condescendingly, and quickly attacked, and suddenly broke the defense line of the Sima army, but after rushing to the foot of the mountain, the advantage of the terrain was gone, and after rushing out of the mountain pass, it would enter the plain area.

Cao Yan has experienced a hundred battles, so he naturally knows how to advance and retreat, even if the cavalry battalion is victorious, he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and risk advancing, but judged the situation and used the terrain to block the Sima army.

Standing in the mountain pass area is undoubtedly the best choice, especially in the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is outnumbered, the choice of terrain becomes more important. In the mountain pass area, the front is wide and the back is narrow, there are barriers on the left and right, and the advance can be attacked and retreated, and it is the best place to block the enemy's attack.

Cao Yan has been aiming at this place for a long time, and if he has to go to war, then this is undoubtedly the best location.

In the pursuit, Sima Shi did offer a huge reward, just Cao Liang's head, it was worth tens of millions, and the rest of the people had valuable rewards.

The heavy reward made Sima Jun's blood swelling and his spirits excited, and it was not until he encountered this critical blow that he became a lot more sober, and his momentum became much more restrained.

Sima Shi was in the army at the moment, and when he saw the defeat of the Wuwei army, he couldn't help but be furious, and ordered them to regain their strength, and they must break through the defense line of Beibi Mountain before dark, and be sure to annihilate the Xiaocai battalion and the horses who tried to cross the river at the Xiaopingjin ferry.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle near the mountain pass, with the neighing of horses and the sound of killing, and the battle was unprecedentedly fierce. Both sides fought fiercely, and the cavalry constantly fell from their horses, and in the fierce fighting, the casualties were quite heavy.

However, Cao Yan did not retreat at all, because he knew that if his line of defense was lost, then the entire retreating army would be caught up by the Sima army, especially the family team that had no combat effectiveness, and would be completely reduced to a lamb to the slaughter.

If you hold on here for a while, you will be able to ensure the chances of the army's retreat succeeding, so no matter how difficult the battle situation is, Cao Yan must persevere, and he must not easily let Sima Jun cross this mountain pass.

Just when Sima Shi was worried, suddenly the rear team of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion appeared in chaos, it seemed that an army was impacting the back of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Sima Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed, the opportunity could not be lost, and he immediately ordered Sima Jun to forcibly outflank the past from the left and right sides, and cooperate with this army to complete the encirclement of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

It was not others who caused a disturbance in the rear of the Xiaocai battalion, it was the former military cadet Gao Jun and the later military cadet Xun Hong.

Although there is no evidence that Gao Jun and Xun Hong participated in the rebellion of the Sima family, in order to prevent trouble, Cao Yan still listened to Cao Liang's words and took the lead in detaining the two.

But out of the affection of colleagues for many years, Cao Yan did not kill the two, but just imprisoned the two.

Facts have proved that Cao Liang still has a vision, Gao Jun's father Gao Rou later served as a general and became Sima Yi's biggest accomplice, and Xun was also involved in the mutiny, if Cao Yan did not take the lead in detaining these two people, it would make the Xiaocai battalion suffer a great loss.

However, when retreating, Cao Yan obviously couldn't take care of the two, and only sent a few of his henchmen to guard them.

Cao Yan has henchmen, Gao Xun and the others naturally have henchmen, and Cao Yan's current command of the people is Gao Jun and Xun Hong's subordinates, and the two have led the front and rear men for many years, so naturally it is impossible not to have few loyal people.

After Gao Jun and Xun Hong were imprisoned, they were already stupid and tried to rescue the two, but whether it was the Xiaocai military camp or Kim Yong City, Cao Yan's personal soldiers were very tightly guarded, and they never succeeded.

However, after entering the retreat, especially after the fierce battle with Sima Jun, they naturally couldn't take care of them anymore, so Gao Jun and Xun Hong's henchmen suddenly attacked, killed the guards of the two of their own soldiers, and rescued the two.

Although Cao Yan's prestige in the Xiao Cavalry Camp is unmatched, it is impossible to achieve everyone's loyalty, after all, Gao Jun and Xun Hong have been in office for many years, no matter how strong Cao Yan is, there will always be a small number of people who are loyal to them.

After getting out of trouble, Gao Jun and Xun Hong were full of resentment towards Cao Yan, so they immediately gathered the old troops loyal to them and launched a commotion at Cao Yan's rear team.

Although the scale of the riot is not too large, but it has caused damage to the morale of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, just think about it, the original Xiao Cavalry Battalion fought hard in front of it, trying to block the Sima Army from moving forward, but now it is like a knife in the soft underbelly, so that the rock-solid Xiao Cavalry Battalion has been divided.

In the decisive battle, many things can often affect the progress of the situation, and the riots set off by Gao Jun and Xun Hong in the rear team eventually affected the overall situation, leaving Cao Yan surrounded by Sima's army.

Cao Yan couldn't help but be angry, it was precisely because he was kind-hearted and didn't want to harm the two of them, so he just relieved them of military power and imprisoned them, but he didn't expect to fight the snake instead of dying, but was devoured by the snake, which saved the lives of the two at that time, but it led to tragic consequences.

After Cao Yan fell into a heavy siege, the situation suddenly became severe, but the Xiao cavalry who defected to the enemy was a minority after all, and the vast majority of Xiao cavalry fought desperately, even if they spilled blood on the battlefield, they refused to surrender.

Despite the unfavorable situation, Cao Yan still fought hard, and Sima Jun launched a fierce fight, after several failed breakthroughs, Cao Yan knew that today's battle was already difficult to spare, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, even if he fought to a single soldier, he would never surrender.

If the battle drags on for a moment, Cao Yan can complete more tasks after the break, since he has chosen such a critical task, Cao Yan has long been determined to die.
