Chapter 834 came just in time
Qinshui is just a small county town out of the Taihang Mountains, which belongs to the edge of the Hanoi triangle defense circle, and it is insignificant for Chen Tai to lose it, but according to the latest information, after this Bingzhou army conquered Qinshui, it did not make any stops, but rushed to Wen County in one go. "Eight" "Eight" read "book, 2 ■ 3o ⊥
The strategic position of Wen County is obviously much higher than that of Qinshui, and this is the hometown of Sima. Two years ago, Cao Liang retreated from Luoyang and traveled to Wen County, the Sima clan was wiped out, and even Sima Zhao's wife Wang Yuanji returned to his hometown and province, and was also taken away by Cao Liang, and the entire Wen County city was completely moved, and by the time Sima Yi subdued Wen County, it was already an empty city.
Although Wenxian County has recovered some of its population now, it is far from the prosperity of the year, and the whole city is sparsely populated, and the most in the city is only the army stationed there.
This time, Cao Liang sent troops out of Shimen to attack Qinshui, and the next target was to lock on Wen County, which couldn't help but make Chen Tai is angry, they actually dared to come to Wen County, I really don't know how to write dead words!
So Chen Tai took out 10,000 cavalry and decided to ambush this Bingzhou army in Wulongkou, northwest of Wenxian County, in view of the fact that this Bingzhou army is all composed of infantry, so Chen Tai in the mobilization of the army, as much as possible to mobilize some more cavalry, so that the ratio of this 10,000 infantry cavalry reached one to one, Chen Tai believes that only 5,000 cavalry is enough to form a crushing trend against the Bingzhou army, the remaining 5,000 infantry, just beating the side drum, cleaning the battlefield, in this plain area, even if your infantry is powerful, it is impossible to be the opponent of the cavalry after all.
Chen Tai did not appoint other generals, but he personally led the team, and went straight to Wulongkou, Sima Jun against the Bingzhou Army, it was already a series of defeats, Chen Tai urgently needed a big victory to boost morale, even if it was not too enjoyable to eat the three thousand people of the governor in one go, but no matter how small the mosquito legs were, it was also meat!
Although the terrain of Wenxian is mainly plain, but the terrain of Wulongkou is slightly complicated, five roads converge here, shaped like five long dragons, so it is called Wulongkou, it is the key place of north, south and east and west, Chen Tai only needs to stay here, as long as the state army dares to go south, Wulongkou is the place that must pass. ⊕ Eight ⊕ Eight ⊕ Read ⊕ Books, ◇o≮
After Chen Tai arrived at Wulongkou, the Bingzhou army did not arrive, which gave him the best opportunity to calmly set up an ambush.
Chen Tai divided the cavalry into two teams, ambushed on the left and right flanks, and the front, handed over to the infantry troops, to block the Bingzhou army, because after encountering the cavalry attack, the biggest instinct of the infantry is to scatter and flee, if there is an infantry position to block these deserters at this time, it can receive miraculous results, and it is even possible to annihilate the enemy army without a single left.
After arranging everything, Chen Tai waited for the arrival of the Bingzhou army on the one hand, and sent scouts on the other side to immediately inquire about the news of the merger.
Fortunately, the scout came back with the latest news that the Bingzhou army was already twenty miles away, Chen Tai was relieved, not afraid that he would come, just afraid that he would not come, Chen Tai was fully prepared, that is, he was ready to annihilate this Bingzhou army in Wulongkou, and also raised his eyebrows and breathed a sigh for Sima Jun.
It stands to reason that the twenty-mile journey is not too long, and according to the normal speed, it should arrive in about two hours, but Chen Taidu has waited for nearly three hours, and he has not seen the figure of the Bingzhou army.
Finally, Chen Tai stood on a high ground and saw the Bingzhou army coming from all directions, but he was very curious, is this an infantry unit, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a baggage battalion, on both sides of the long line, there are vehicles loaded with flat boxes, these vehicles are pulled by mules, one after another, dense, and the action is relatively slow, no wonder Chen Tai will wait for three hours, the speed of action of this Bingzhou army can be described as turtle speed.
The lieutenant of his subordinates asked Chen Tai that the state army had entered their intended ambush circle, and whether to launch an attack immediately.
Chen Tai was a little stunned after seeing those vehicles, he was still wondering what the Bingzhou army was doing with so many baggage trucks, was it to transport grain, but it didn't look like it.
After the lieutenant reminded him, Chen Tai came back to his senses and said in his heart, what is the use of studying those vehicles, their target this time is the Bingzhou army, as long as they kill all the Bingzhou soldiers, it doesn't matter what they are doing with these baggage trucks.
So Chen Tai ordered the drums to be beaten, and the cavalry ambushed on the left and right sides came out together, and attacked the Bingzhou army in the encirclement on the left and right.
The drums rumbled, and the cavalry of the Sima army rushed towards the Bingzhou army like a fierce tiger out of the forest.
The queue of the state army was not very fast because of the flat box carts arranged on both sides, and Ma Long was completely unhurried, and the cavalry advanced slowly and comfortably.
The soldiers went out of Shimen Pass and attacked Qinshui City, the progress of the pioneer battalion was very smooth, and along the way, there was no strong resistance, but Ma Long knew very well that he had made a big move in Hanoi, and it was impossible for Sima Jun stationed in Hanoi not to know that next, the most fierce battle would definitely occur, but where it was, Ma Long was not easy to judge.
However, on the way from leaving Qinshui to attacking Wenxian, any place could become a battlefield, so Ma Long asked the soldiers of the pioneer battalion to be vigilant enough and ready for battle at any time.
The speed of the march of the team is relatively slow, this is what Malone deliberately requires, the low speed of the march can allow the soldiers to maintain enough physical strength to deal with the upcoming battle, now how many miles of daily march is not of practical significance, Ma Long's biggest purpose is just to lure Sima Jun to attack.
His tactics are a kind of preemptive tactics, due to the poor mobility of Ma Long's troops, if he takes the initiative to pursue the enemy, it is very difficult to do, only by luring the enemy to attack, he has a chance to destroy the enemy, have a chance to win the battle, if the opponent has been avoiding him and not fighting with him, Ma Long is really helpless.
However, the goal of the battlefield is to win, so it is rare for the two sides to avoid the phenomenon of not fighting, Ma Long knows that Chen Tai will not stay honestly in Wen County and wait for him to attack the city, and he will definitely be ambushed halfway, so Ma Long is fully prepared for battle.
As soon as I arrived at Wulongkou, I heard the war drums sounding in unison, and the sound of killing was everywhere, Ma Long's spirit was shocked, his face was happy, and he said secretly: It's just right! 11. Reading with quick eyes_
