Therefore, the attack of the Bingzhou cavalry was not completely forced, but more of a roundabout attack and beating the side drum, and if there was a chance to take a breath, the Bingzhou cavalry would not hesitate to rush forward, and after succeeding, they would not love to fight, and withdraw decisively to avoid falling into a struggle with Sima Jun.

If there is no chance, the Bingzhou cavalry will not rush to attack, but deliberately keep a certain distance to ensure that their own team will not be attacked by enemy archers, and then wait for the opportunity to look for another opportunity.

Obviously, Cao Liang had made full arrangements before, this pursuit battle, the style of play was completely different from the total annihilation of the Sima cavalry in the battle of Qixian County, the ambush battle, and the state cavalry was completely attacked, poured all their strength, completed their efforts in a battle, and the attack was steady and ruthless, in just a few hours, the Sima army 70,000 cavalry were annihilated on the banks of the Wuma River.

And this time it was the turn of the pursuit battle, Cao Liang adopted a different style of play, the main force of the attack was basically based on the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Yue Cavalry Battalion, and the heavy cavalry of the Tun Cavalry Battalion only occasionally participated in the battle, and most of the time they were in a state of stealth.

Of course, this is also related to the characteristics of the Tun cavalry battalion, because the Tun cavalry battalion is all heavy cavalry, with a large load, not good at long-distance marching, and the pursuit of Sima Jun requires the cavalry troops to continue to advance, interspersed with outflanking in a roundabout way, compared to the Tun cavalry battalion, the Xiao cavalry battalion and the Yue cavalry battalion are more suitable for this style of play, so the main pursuit task is the Xiao cavalry battalion and the Yue cavalry battalion.

Of course, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, which was a deterrent to force, did not stop advancing, but followed closely behind Sima Jun, occasionally showing his grandeur, which was enough to make Sima Jun tremble.

The Sima army is almost inexplicable to the heavy cavalry of the tun cavalry battalion, they can list the spear array to fight against the Xiao cavalry battalion, and they can list the shield array to fight against the archers, but for the attack of the heavy cavalry, the Sima army has no resistance at all, whether it is the spear array or the shield array, in the face of the heavy cavalry's overwhelming and invincible offensive, they have become vulnerable.

If it weren't for the shortcomings in endurance, the heavy cavalry would have been enough to sweep the world.

Due to the lack of heavy cavalry, the offensive of the Bingzhou cavalry is not so strong, but this pursuit operation is a big pursuit that spans nearly thousands of miles, and the road is still long, so Wen Qin and Deng Ai are not in a hurry at all, they work together, cooperate with each other, and completely play Sima Jun between the palms, just letting him change formations back and forth is enough to make him exhausted and difficult to parry.

Now the anxious person is Sima Shi, he has been overwhelmed by the harassment of the cavalry of Bingzhou, there are constantly casualties in the rear and flanks, don't look at the losses every time are not big, as few as hundreds, as many as thousands, such a little loss for Sima Jun, although it is a drop in the bucket, it is nothing, but it adds up to a lot, and after many battles, this loss is considerable.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the current Bingzhou cavalry is like a dog skin plaster, sticking very tightly, no matter how Sima Jun throws it, he can't get rid of it, just like a maggot attached to the bone, which makes Sima Shi anxious.

The cavalry of the Bingzhou army is too mobile and fast, even if Sima Shi wants to counterattack, he can't catch up with others at all, of course, Sima Shi doesn't have the courage to pursue, with the terrible combat effectiveness and mobile combat ability of the Bingzhou cavalry, a part of the soldiers and horses are divided into pursuit, which is simply no different from sending them to death.

Now the Sima army is huddled together, relying on the strength of the large number of people can barely support it, if the soldiers and horses are scattered, they can only be broken by the state army, and the whole army will be annihilated.

But if you don't fight back, you can only be beaten passively, every time the Bingzhou cavalry roars, and after harvesting a wave of lives, they will go away, so that Sima Shi is really helpless.

However, Sima Shi still swallowed this breath, you can't be rash in the war, the current situation is difficult, you must endure if you can endure it, and you have to endure it if you can't bear it, only by preserving your strength, you will have a chance to fight back in the future.

Now Sima Shi's only hope is to rush to Anyi as soon as possible, relying on the city of Anyi City to resist the state army, Pingyang has been lost, if Anyi is lost again, then the entire Hedong County may no longer belong to the control of the Sima family.

Although the road from Pingyang to Anyi was a smooth road, all of which were boundless plains, the journey of 200 miles was very difficult for Sima Shi, they had to march non-stop, and they also had to constantly engage with the cavalry of Bingzhou, and this road stopped and stopped, and it took five or six days for Sima Jun to arrive near Anyi.

In view of the situation of the loss of Pingyang, Sima Shi sent people to Anyi to inquire about the news of Anyi before arriving in Anyi, but what Sima Shi heard was another catastrophic bad news.

Following the fall of Pingyang, Anyi also fell, Wang Jun stationed in Shangdang led the Changshui battalion to raid Anyi, because Anyi was farther away from the front line than Pingyang, so the garrison was more relaxed, Wang Jun almost effortlessly conquered Anyi, and also completely cut off Sima Shi's thoughts.

In addition to Pingyang and Anyi, there are still many county towns in the two counties of Hedong, but these counties are far inferior to these two counties in terms of scale and city defense, and if the 100,000 army is squeezed into a small county town, I am afraid that the city will be crowded.

What's more, now that Sima Jun is relatively short of food, Sima Shi wants to rush to Pingyang and Anyi, on the one hand, to find a place to stay, and on the other hand, to find supplies to help Sima Jun tide over the difficulties.

In the treasury of the small county town, even if there is some grain in stock, it is limited in quantity, and it cannot meet the needs of the army at all, and only in the treasury of the county town can there be enough grain and grass to provide them.

And now that Pingyang is lost, Anyi has also been lost, Sima's army is completely in a desperate situation, and there is no place for them to live in the land east of the river, and it is no wonder that the Bingzhou army can carry out such a reckless roundabout attack, it turns out that they have premeditated, using the continuous attacks of the cavalry to entangle the Sima army, making it difficult for them to move forward, and they are not able to quickly return to help, and then send troops to attack and seize Pingyang Anyi, this trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle is really too ruthless.

No one could have imagined that Cao Liang's appetite was so great, not only did he eat the 70,000 cavalry of the Sima army, but he also did not let go of hundreds of thousands of infantry, and he also planned to swallow the entire Hedong, such a big ambition made people shudder.
