Chapter 765: Caught in a Heavy Siege
For this battle of Baishuichuan, Cao Liang had a careful plan with Yanghu in advance, and even the choice of the Baishuichuan battlefield was designated by Cao Liang, and the time of the decisive battle was roughly determined.
As for how Yanghu lured the enemy deep and introduced Hu Zun's army to Baishuichuan, that was Yanghu's ability, Cao Liang did not make any arrangements in this regard, after all, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the generals can only control the overall situation if they have the opportunity to change.
Cao Liang just gave Yanghu a task, as for how he completed this task, it was all up to him, but Cao Liang believes that this little thing should still be difficult for Yanghu, in the past few years, following his own southern and northern wars, Yanghu's growth is also extremely rapid, and he has the potential to be a famous general, and he is fully capable of such a battle.
Judging from the current situation, Yanghu has completed the task excellently, and next, it is time for the performance of the three major cavalry battalions.
Performance? That's right, this battle of Baishuichuan, more will be the performance time of the three cavalry, the terrain of Baishuichuan, for the cavalry battle, has a unique advantage, with the strength of the three cavalry, against Hu Zun's Sima army, the completion can form a crushing momentum, the victory will not have any suspense, the only thing that is worrying is whether the Bingzhou army can completely annihilate this Sima army, will there be a situation similar to Chen Taihu Fen's escape?
The battle of Wanzi City, it is precisely because of the escape of the enemy generals Chen Tai and Hu Fen that the success of this victory is slightly inferior.
But this time for the Battle of Baishuichuan, all the preparations of the state army were in place, coupled with the favorable terrain of Baishuichuan, Cao Liang would definitely not give Hu Zun and Wang Jing any chance to escape.
The three major cavalry battalions have entered the designated attack positions respectively, and the hunt has officially begun, and Cao Liang's goal in this battle is to go to the goal of completely annihilating this Sima army.
Yanghu led the infantry battalion and returned to Baishuichuan very calmly, although the situation in Baishuichuan did not seem to be any different from before, but Yanghu had already seen the signal left by Cao Liang, the cavalry battalion had entered the designated position, and the infantry battalion had completed their task excellently, and next, they would no longer be the protagonists of the battlefield, they only needed to retreat to the designated position and block an escape route for Sima Jun.
Sima Jun chased after him, and when he arrived at Baishuichuan, the distance between them and the Bingzhou army seemed to be shortened, which made Wang Jing, who was the vanguard of the pursuit, very happy, and the shortening of the distance between the two armies meant that the Bingzhou army was already at the end of the crossbow, and if the Sima army made more efforts in this regard, it might soon be able to catch up.
But Wang Jing only noticed the retreating Bingzhou army in his eyes, and did not notice that this was the Baishuichuan that had the first turning point before, and when he led the army to kill here for the first time, he was ambushed by the Bingzhou army and fled.
But obviously there was no accident this time, after Yanghu entered Baishuichuan, he did not make any stops, but continued to flee eastward, Wang Jing saw that the opportunity was coming, how could he give up easily, and drove all the way in, biting the state army.
After all the Sima troops entered Baishuichuan, Cao Liang ordered the war drums to be beaten, and the three major cavalry of the Yue Cavalry Battalion, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion came out together and killed them from all directions.
The rumbling war drums echoed in the four fields of Baishuichuan, and after hearing the drums, Wang Jing was shocked, and quickly reined in the war horse, and his intuition told him that this drum was not unusual, and maybe there was some big conspiracy of the state army.
Sure enough, as the drums sounded, there were more thunderous horses' hooves in all directions, and the rapid horse's hooves struck the earth, which seemed to make people feel that the earth was trembling.
Cavalry?
Damn, it's tricked again!
Wang Jing hurriedly turned his horse's head, wanting to join Hu Zun and prepare to retreat.
But their infantry-based team movement was much slower after all, and before they could turn around, the figures of the Bingzhou cavalry had already appeared in front and behind, and they were like a whirlwind, roaring towards the Sima army in Baishuichuan, and the dust and smoke stirred up behind them rushed straight into the sky, as if a tornado sandstorm was blowing between the flats.
Hu Zun's face sank, but he was not panicked like Wang Jing, but ordered Sima Jun to line up to meet the enemy in a deep voice.
At this time, it was too late to discuss whose responsibility was, and the speed of the cavalry was much faster than that of the infantry, so it was basically hopeless for Sima Jun to escape before the cavalry of Bingzhou completed the encirclement.
Of course, Hu Zun could not be captured, but he was also a veteran who had experienced many baptisms of war, and in the face of such a critical situation, he still calmly gave an order and lined up in place to meet the attack of the Bingzhou cavalry.
If you continue to flee at this time, under the impact of the Bingzhou cavalry, the entire team will inevitably fall apart, be completely disorganized and scattered, and then the whole army will be annihilated.
However, Hu Zun also admitted that the crisis encountered at this moment is probably the most severe one in his life, he has participated in countless major battles, and such a dangerous situation is the first time he has encountered it, the flat terrain of Baishuichuan is the most advantageous place for cavalry to fight.
Now the only formation that can resist is probably the spear formation, and the infantry and cavalry are fighting, which is probably the only effective way to resist the cavalry.
But the situation at this moment is very difficult, because the cavalry of Bingzhou is besieged on all sides, it is almost impossible for Sima Jun to build a huge defensive formation that is enough to deal with attacks from all sides, and it may be effective for the spears to deal with the enemy on one side, but there are cavalry on all sides, and they can't see the priority of their attack, and Hu Zun can't choose where to focus on defense, so Hu Zun's heart is gloomy, knowing that this battle, no matter what, it is difficult to win.
Under Hu Zun's order, Sima Jun finally stabilized his position and pushed the pikemen to the front, forming a forest of guns, which barely looked like that.
But Sima Jun's fighting spirit at this moment has collapsed, in the face of the stormy momentum of the Bingzhou cavalry, all of them are a little weak in their legs and stomachs, and their faces are like earth, in such a sluggish state, how can they resist the attack of the Bingzhou cavalry?
