Chapter 995: The pressure is great

The speed of the Bingzhou cavalry is indeed beyond imagination, the reason why Sima Shi threw away the baggage materials and traveled the whole way, the purpose was to avoid the pursuit of the Bingzhou cavalry, but in the end, this disastrous consequence still happened, although they rushed to Pingyang as they wished, but Pingyang was lost and could not enter.

And the more terrifying thing is that the Bingzhou cavalry appeared behind them, it seems that all this was arranged by Cao Liang, and under his plan, he pushed Sima Jun into the quagmire step by step, and he couldn't help himself.

It's terrible, it's terrible!

Sima Shi couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his plan, returning to Pingyang was a crucial part, and only by relying on the strong defense of Pingyang City could Sima Jun resist the pursuit of the Bingzhou army.

However, Cao Liang seemed to have already understood his plan, and sent the Right Guard Battalion one step ahead of time to attack Pingyang City, which suddenly put Sima's 100,000 army into a desperate situation.

Although the Bingzhou army only has about 30,000 cavalry, the Sima army has an advantage in numbers, but the combat effectiveness of the two sides can not be linked to the number, which is like 100,000 sheep and 30,000 wolves, although the number of wolves is relatively small, but they occupy an absolutely dominant position, they are waiting for the opportunity to move, eyeing the tiger, so that Sima Jun is panicked.

That's right, now panic has been the main emotion of the Sima army, the fall of 70,000 cavalry, brought them a huge psychological shadow area, this panic in the Sima army spread, has caused disastrous consequences, now as long as the Sima army talks about the cavalry of the state, it is bound to talk about the tiger's color, everyone is in danger.

If there was no 70,000 cavalry annihilation, perhaps the Sima army's fear of the Bingzhou cavalry would not be so deep, because of such terrible consequences of this battle, it caused a large area of panic in the Sima army, and the 70,000 cavalry with strong combat power were still invincible, so how could they defeat the Bingzhou cavalry with their pure infantry strength?

Although in terms of numbers, the scale of the Sima army can be called huge, but due to the loss of all the cavalry, in terms of the structure of the troops, the formation of the Sima army is incomplete, and the cavalry has lost its flank protection and mobility ability, and the Sima army cannot be compared with the Bingzhou army in terms of speed.

And now that the Bingzhou Army has a long-range attack type such as the Archer Cavalry, it has become a nightmare existence of the Sima Army, in the past, the infantry against the cavalry, but also with the spear array to build a defensive line, with the archers to counterattack, it cannot be said that there is no power in a battle.

And now the pike array is useless in front of the archers, and the state cavalry can attack from a long distance, and the Sima army's platoon is in a dilemma, mainly pikemen, unable to resist the arrows of the archers, and mainly sword and shield soldiers, but unable to resist the impact of light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

Especially the heavy cavalry of the Bingzhou army, these steel monsters with sharp armor, are the nightmare existence of the infantry of the Sima army, once they encounter the attack of the heavy cavalry, the formation of the infantry will be ravaged, and the Sima division has not considered what kind of formation to use to resist the impact of the heavy cavalry.

It's like a wolf rushing into a flock, how can it resist the enemy? It is estimated that the sheep have no way at all, they can only scatter and flee for their lives, and they can only be bitten by wolves, and they can only think that they are upside down.

In the field, the cavalry was originally an invincible existence, not to mention a perverted existence like the Bingzhou cavalry, which was even more invincible among the invincible, with the current low morale of the Sima army, not to mention 100,000 people, it was 200,000 and 300,000 people, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight again.

Sima Shi took a deep breath, with the speed of the Bingzhou cavalry, the distance of fifty or sixty miles is only a few hours, and in just a few hours, Pingyang City can be taken, isn't that nonsense?

It seems that Pingyang City can no longer fight, so it can only go south to Anyi, Sima Shi still can't figure out the situation on Anyi's side, if Anyi is also captured by Bingzhou, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

But now staying under the city of Pingyang is just sitting and waiting to die, Sima Shi can't take care of much, and orders the army to immediately set up camp and march south.

From Pingyang to Anyi, there is also a distance of more than 200 miles, and the Bingzhou cavalry is behind him, Sima Shi did not expect them to reach Anyi before they can not be caught up by the Bingzhou cavalry, even if Sima Jun all have scuds, but two legs can't run four legs anyway.

Therefore, on the way to the march, Sima Shi still made some arrangements, he asked Sima Jun to hold as a group as much as possible, and leave no gaps between the men and horses of each battalion and department, so as to avoid being broken by the cavalry of Bingzhou.

Chen Qian was arranged in the position of the broken back, Sima Shi arranged the most elite troops for him, mainly pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, as for how to use them, it must be dealt with by Chen Qian, if the attack is the archer cavalry, the sword and shield soldiers should be on the front line, use the shield to resist the arrows of the archers, if it is the light cavalry to attack, use the spear formation to deal with.

But if it is the heavy cavalry to attack, then simply give up the defense and retreat and flee for your life, no matter what kind of troops now, it will not be able to stop the heavy cavalry, rather than fighting against it, it is better to flee for your life earlier, and escape as much as you want.

In addition to strengthening the rear wings, the left and right flanks are also the places where Sima Division focuses on strengthening the defense, and the Bingzhou cavalry is fast and has a strong ability to attack in a roundabout way, if they launch an attack, they will definitely not be limited to attacking only the men and horses after the break, and will inevitably attack from the left and right wings, if they do not strengthen the defense of the left and right wings, then it is likely that the Bingzhou army will tear the formation from the left and right wings, and once the formation is cut in half, they may face the risk of annihilation.

Sima Shi has always been the role of Sima Yi's assistant before, passing orders or providing some suggestions, it is Sima Yi who really makes decisions, of course Sima Shi will not have any pressure, and at this time, after Sima Yi was injured, all the burden was suddenly pressed on Sima Shi's shoulders, which was related to the life and death of 100,000 people, and Sima Shi felt a lot of pressure.

With the current situation, Sima Jun is in a very dangerous situation, if Sima Shi makes a little mistake in decision-making, it is very likely that it will be a catastrophe, but the current situation does not allow Sima Shi to think carefully, and even unable to communicate with the generals and strategists, Sima Shi knows very well that once it is ripped off, it will be a delay in the fighter, no matter whether it is right or wrong, what is needed now is to make a decisive decision and bring the 100,000 army out of the predicament. ntent
