Chapter 975 - There is a backhand
The division of labor and cooperation between the three cavalry is very clear, the tun cavalry battalion is responsible for the main attack, using the incomparable attack power of the heavy cavalry to form a crushing attack on the enemy, while the Yue cavalry battalion is constantly casting cold arrows in the process of pursuit, shooting and killing Sima soldiers who fled from the flank. ββ ε «ββ ε «ββ Readingβ β book, .2β²γ
The cavalry battalion was also tasked with the same task, but he was on the other side of the cavalry camp, killing the deserters who tried to break away from Sima's main camp, leaving Sima's army to flee along a road to the south.
The three cavalry were like three steppe wolves, closely following Sima Jun's huge flock of sheep, driving them in the designated direction, and occasionally eating away at those who had fallen behind.
The plan of the state army is very clear, that is, to drive the Sima army to the direction of the first camp ambush, whether it can completely annihilate this Sima army, in fact, the most important thing is not the attack ability of the three major cavalry, but the interception ability of the first camp, as long as the first camp is like an iron gate to block the escape route of the Sima army, the three major cavalry battalions are out, and the Sima army is bound to be destroyed.
If the pursuit of cavalry alone, it will never be possible to completely annihilate the Sima army, and the Sima army can survive like a gecko, and abandon a certain number of men and horses, so as to ensure that the main force escapes.
Maybe this is exactly what Sima Yi considered, when the battle came to this point, it was no longer a matter of thinking about victory or defeat, but how to retreat with his whole body, but in this current situation, it is almost impossible to retreat with his whole body, and only a strong man with a broken wrist can solve this crisis.
Hu Fen's vanguard battalion and Man Bing's right-wing battalion were already in the ranks abandoned by Sima Yi, and of course, the right-wing battalion was needless to say, when Sima Yi ordered the retreat, it had already lost more than half, plus it was bitten by the Yue cavalry battalion, and the chance of survival was equal to zero.

When Sima Yi decided to retreat, he had completely abandoned the right-wing battalion, otherwise he would not have been able to die without help.
As for Hu Fen's vanguard battalion of 20,000 horses, since they were arranged by Sima Yi as a broken team, it is equivalent to the existence of a dead man.
But this time is different, the terrible dominance shown by the Bingzhou cavalry has made Sima Yi frightened, and this is still after Sima Yi only saw the archers and then retreated, if he let him see the horror of the Tun cavalry with his own eyes, I am afraid that Sima Yi will immediately sigh, Hu Fen's vanguard camp is over.
Of course, Sima Yi's retreat so quickly is also related to the fact that he has an unusual sense of smell, the tuncai camp has not appeared for a long time, this is always a haze shrouded in Sima Yi's heart, under normal circumstances, the most powerful one in general must be placed in the finale position, the Xiaocai battalion has made Sima Jun anxious, the Yue cavalry battalion is better, and the tuncai battalion is ...... Thinking about it, Sima Yi decided to withdraw.
Facts have proved that Sima Yi's judgment was correct, and the Tun cavalry battalion was indeed made into an even more terrifying cavalry by Cao Liang, which was simply impossible for Hu Fen's vanguard battalion to resist.
Sima Zhao was shocked when he got the news of the Tun Cavalry Battalion, but what he admired Sima Yi was that the five-body surrender was too timely, otherwise Sima Yi would definitely suffer greater losses.
Originally, Sima Zhao was also deeply puzzled by Sima Yi's sudden order, but now he had to admire Sima Yi's foresight, this Jiang is still very old!
But Sima Yi frowned, his face was gloomy, Sima Zhao thought that Sima Yi was unhappy because he lost the battle, so he comforted: "Father, you don't have to be too sad, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, let's temporarily retreat back to Hedong, regroup, and fight again." β
Sima Yi sighed faintly, and said with a bitter smile: "Zhao'er, do you think Cao Liang will give you a chance to regroup?" β
Sima Zhao was stunned for a moment, looked around, and said, "Why did my father say this?" Although the rear team suffered heavy losses, our main force had withdrawn from the battlefield, and if we hurried up, the state army might not be able to catch up. β
In Sima Zhao's view, the Bingzhou army was just pursuing behind him, so he did not besiege on all sides, so if he withdrew all the way, Sima Jun would at most bear the losses of the rearguard troops, and the main force should be safe, but looking at Sima Yi's expression, he was not optimistic about this at all.
"Could it be that Cao Liang still has other back-hands?" Sima Zhao was puzzled.
Sima Yi is very clear that Cao Liang is so well prepared for this battle, how can he leave him a way back to retreat, since Cao Liang dares to show all his hole cards, it proves that Cao Liang has enough confidence to win a complete victory, and will definitely not give Sima Yi a chance to make a comeback.
Sima Yi has fought countless battles in his life, winning and losing, but even if he loses, Sima Yi can always retreat with his whole body, so as not to be defeated and collapsed.
But this time, Sima Yi felt the cold to the bone, Cao Liang's terrible was beyond his imagination, before this, if Cao Liang had the appetite to swallow his 70,000 cavalry, it was definitely a joke, no one believed it, even Sima Yi didn't think that such a thing would happen.
But now, it is an indisputable fact in front of us, although the main force of Sima Jun has been out of the battle and is retreating southward on a large scale, Sima Yi knows that Cao Liang must have a back hand, and Sima Jun's desire to safely retreat to Jiexiu or even Luoyang has basically become a luxury.
This battle fell into Cao Liang's trap from the beginning, Jiexiu's blockade made Sima Da's army unable to advance at all, and the deliberately revealed cavalry news was to induce Sima Yi to be fooled and send cavalry to attack Qi County.
In fact, Sima Yi, who was anxious to win a decisive victory, had already made an unforgivable mistake at this time, on the battlefield, no matter how powerful the cavalry was, it would be difficult to support it alone without the assistance and protection of the infantry.
The Xiao cavalry battalion lured the enemy deep, Sima Jun could only be forced to be led by the enemy's nose, in fact, the initiative on the entire battlefield, Sima Yi had already lost, following the pace of the Xiao cavalry battalion, Sima Jun fell into the quagmire step by step, and could not pull himself.
Sima Yi looked back behind him, where the shouts of killing shook the sky, I don't know how many Sima soldiers were swept into the torrent of iron cavalry of the Bingzhou army, and I don't know how many people died under the iron hooves of the Bingzhou army.
And this is just the beginning, not the end. 11. Baidu read the latest chapter of "The Last Three Kingdoms 2 Xingwei Jiezhong Literature" for free for the first time.
