and state. []

Wang Ling leaned on his horse. Gasping for air.

"How is that possible? Why is this happening. Looking at the Bingzhou cavalry under his command falling one by one, Wang Ling was a little at a loss.

In the past, there were three major cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and the cavalry of Bingzhou was the most powerful. At that time, Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Liangzhou cavalry in front of Luoyang City and the 30,000 Liangzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu were tied, which shows the strength of the Bingzhou cavalry.

Since Wang Ling took office and the state assassin history, the main energy is to train in addition to this batch of state iron cavalry, for these 30,000 cavalry, Wang Ling has almost exhausted all the resources under his command, from weapons and equipment to horses, Wang Ling has all been prepared, in Wang Ling's opinion, this cavalry under his command is definitely the first cavalry in the Central Plains, even compared to the Hun cavalry, it is not inferior at all.

But now, the Bingzhou cavalry was beaten by the Liangzhou cavalry of Ma Qiu on the opposite side.

In terms of horses, the state horses are slightly inferior. After all, Ma Qiu's horses were brought from Wusun, and after breeding, although the offspring were not as good as their parents, they were also better than the war horses that grew up in Bingzhou.

In terms of weapons and equipment, there are also big differences between the two sides, and the cavalry of the state still uses standard Han cavalry equipment. The cavalry under Ma Qiu's command used more of a mixture of Wusun and Han equipment.

But the biggest difference between the two sides is the tactics of the cavalry.

In recent decades, there were no large-scale cavalry units in the Central Plains, and Wang Ling had very little combat experience against cavalry, and the tactics used by Wang Ling's Bingzhou cavalry were more tactics against infantry.

And Ma Qiu and Ma Dai were all over the Wusun grassland back then, and they were familiar with cavalry tactics, so they naturally had a lot to do with cavalry. The Wusun people are not the opponents of Ma Qiu's cavalry, and in the face of these Bingzhou cavalry who lack cavalry tactics, Ma Qiu's Liangzhou cavalry is even more like a fish in water.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the commander's on-the-spot command accounts for a large part, not to mention that the degree of cavalry is already fast, which accelerates the degree of change on the battlefield. This is a test of the commander's on-the-spot response and experience.

Wang Ling didn't expect that these elite Bingzhou cavalry of his own, the elite had been chased and beaten by the other party, and they had no power to fight back.

"Why is this happening? Why is the Iron Cavalry of the State that I have worked so hard to build up so vulnerable! Could it be that the Han army is really powerful to this extent? ”

"Whoosh ......" throwing the spear accurately fell into the crowd, and the huge impact force driven by the horse when running allowed the spear to penetrate the knight and the horse.

"Order, interspersed with the left flank, continue to disrupt their formation......" with Ma Qiu's order. Battle flags waved.

When the cavalry of the Han army saw the battle flag, they reacted as quickly as possible, and the cavalry of the opposite state had begun to gradually retreat.

"General, we can't hold on!"

Wang Ling's head was already sweating, but there was no way to redeem the defeat.

……

The defeat was like a mountain.

Wang Ling never expected that this situation would occur when he led his troops back to the Shangdang, and he thought that with his 30,000 iron cavalry and the state, he could successfully recapture the Shangdang, but he didn't expect this situation to occur.

Originally, Wang Ling was most worried about Ma Qiu's refusal to go out of the city to fight, after all, siege is not the strength of cavalry, when Ma Qiu led his troops out of the city, Wang Ling even laughed proudly, laughing at Ma Qiu's young and ignorant and arrogant.

Now it seems that it is not Ma Qiu who is arrogant, but himself.

"No, I can't be defeated, if I lose, the state will be gone!" Wang Ling shook his teeth viciously, and then drew his sword violently.

"Brethren. Kill me! Fight the enemy! ”

In the face of the desperate fight of the Bingzhou cavalry, Ma Qiu was very calm. When he was in the Wusun Prairie, Ma had faced countless times, and the enemy fought desperately, and Ma Qiu knew that the more time he was, the more he could not lose his cool.

"The Chinese army interspersed to the west, avoiding the edge, and attacking the enemy's flank."

……

The north wind was blowing, and the battle was nearing its end.

The Bingzhou cavalry is still struggling to resist, but the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, which was originally gathered together, has been interspersed with countless battles by Ma Qiu and turned into a regiment, and it is only a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated.

There were only more than 300 people left around Wang Ling, who were also surrounded by people, and at this time Wang Ling had already felt the danger, so Wang Ling led people to attack left and right, hoping to break through, but he was never successful.

As time passed, Wang Ling's three hundred people gradually arrived at nothing.

Wang Ling gasped for breath, looking at the dense Han cavalry around him, and a trace of despair rose in his heart.

The cavalry of the Han army slowly dodged away, and from the middle, a young general came out, the young man was wearing silver armor, wearing a lion helmet, and holding a big knife in his hand. Behind the young man, a big flag fluttered in the wind, and the words "General Han Fuyuan" on it were very clear.

"Are you Ma Qiu?" Wang Ling said with a glare.

"Wang Ling. Don't resist, surrender! You've been defeated. Ma Qiu looked very calm, there was no trace of waves in his eyes, and the kind of eyes that looked at Wang Ling had a condescending taste, as if he was looking at a dead thing.

"Hmph......" Wang Ling snorted coldly, Ma Qiu's eyes made Wang Ling very unhappy, and Wang Ling felt Ma Qiu's contempt.

"I, Wang Ling, am deeply favored by Taizu, how can I surrender to you, today, either you die or I die!"

"Obsessed!" Ma Qiu waved his hand: "Give it to me, don't leave one." ”

……

Under the cover of the Jiangdong Naval Division, 6 Xun crossed the Huai River again, and Sima Yi immediately led his troops to resist.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao did not flee back to Yecheng, Sima Zhao was still waiting for an opportunity to persuade Sima Yi to surrender to Eastern Wu, and Sima Yi's attitude towards whether to surrender to Eastern Wu has also changed from shaking his head to oppose it at the beginning, to being ambiguous now.

Sima Zhao was walking towards Sima Yi's tent when suddenly, Sima Shi's voice sounded from behind.

"Second brother. Wait a minute. Sima Zhao turned around and saw Sima Shi walking quickly.

"Second brother, are you going to find your father again?" Sima Shi asked.

"What the eldest brother said is that now that the 6 Xun army is pressing, if my father really resists to the end, I'm afraid that the three of us, father and son, will not be able to escape this catastrophe!" Sima Zhao said with a worried face.

"Hehehe......" Sima Shi laughed instead.

"Big brother, what are you laughing at? I'm dying, and you're still laughing. ”

"Second brother, you have been with your father for a short time, and you don't know your father completely. Father must have thought of everything you thought, but it seems that he hasn't decided yet. Sima Shi said slowly.

"Still undecided? But if this fight continues, won't it offend all the people of Soochow? There are already more than a dozen generals of Soochow who died at the hands of their father in the past two days. If we kill all the generals of Eastern Wu, and we surrender again, how can we have good fruits to eat! ”

"Second brother, you are too worried, if you kill all the generals of Eastern Wu, it will be better if we surrender again. If there is no one to use that Sun Deng, we will have to use our father. Besides, if we don't stand and surrender, we will be looked down upon by others, so it is better to fight first, so that the generals of Eastern Wu know that we are powerful, and also let Sun Deng know that we know how powerful our father is, but we will be reused. ”

"But in that case, wouldn't we offend 6 Sun? 6 Xun and Gu Yong, the party henchmen are all over the Jiangdong government and the opposition, if we offend them, wouldn't it be difficult for us to surrender in the past? ”

"Hehehe, it's a matter of time before you offend 6 Xun." Another voice sounded from next to the two, and when the two looked at it, Sima Yi walked over slowly.

"Father's ......"

Sima Yi nodded slightly, looked at no one on the left and right, and then leaned over and whispered: "6 Xun and Gu Yong, the forces are indeed all over the government and the opposition, but this suspicion of high merit shocking the lord is probably not able to escape." The only one who can compete with the two in the Eastern Wu Dynasty is Zhuge Jin, but Zhuge Jin is quite tactful, so he will not clash head-on with the two, 6 Xun and Gu Yong, it is equivalent to losing the clamp, entering Wu for his father, if he wants to be reused by the lord of Wu. It is necessary to put on a posture that is incompatible with 6 Xun Gu Yong in order to gain the trust of Lord Wu. ”

"Father, are you preparing to enter Wu?" Sima Zhao asked.

"If it is known by others, it will definitely affect the morale of the army. Your eldest brother is right, now 6 Xun has the power to shake the master, but no one in the Eastern Wu government and the opposition can compete with it. went for his father, and he couldn't be with 6 Xun in terms of reason and reason. ”

"Father, when are we ......?" asked Sima Shi.

"Ziyuan, you go back to Yecheng immediately and go and pick up the family in the clan."

"Yes." Sima Shi nodded.

"Son, I have a very important mission, do you dare to go?" Sima Yi opened his mouth and asked Sima Zhao.

"Father, you said that no matter what, the child will definitely do his best." Sima Zhao replied immediately.

"Okay, son, there is a eunuch named Huang Hao next to Sun Deng, who is deeply favored by Sun Deng. Although it cannot be said that Sun Deng obeyed him, if you want to get close to Sun Deng, it is essential to start with Huang Hao. And my father has already inquired, this Huang Hao is very greedy for money, so my father has prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and my father wants you to go to Shouchun, take these gold and silver jewelry, and see Sun Deng through Huang Hao. ”

"Got it." Sima Zhao nodded.

"Son, you must be cautious here, it doesn't matter if things can succeed or not, but you must ensure your own safety, you know?"

Listening to Sima Yi's words, Sima Zhao's eyes were wet: "Father, rest assured, the child will not fail in his mission." ”

……

Huang Hao's small life is very nourishing, in the palace, all the big and small affairs are calculated by Huang Hao, from the emperor's work and rest to the procurement of materials in the palace; As small as arranging the miscellaneous affairs of the palace maids and eunuchs, they are all managed by Huang Hao. Among them, Huang Hao moisturized and reaped a lot of benefits and fished a lot of oil and water.

In this case, Sima Zhao came to Shouchun.
