Sima mistakenly saw that Shi Hong was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and asked for orders to block the pursuit of the Hezhong army, and at this time, he forgave Shi Hong a little. Sima Coo called out to Shi Hong and said, "There is General Lao Shi, you must lead your troops to break through, and we will meet in Michi City." ”

Sima Cuo immediately whipped his horse and led the remnants of the Qin army to the mountain road leading to Michi City. Sima mistakenly arrived there, and secretly congratulated himself that he had retreated in time, otherwise the whole army might have been trapped and killed in Xipi.

However, at this time, all of a sudden, the stones on the top of the mountain fell one after another, very dense, many Qin soldiers were hit by stones, some were killed on the spot, some were hit in the shoulder and other parts, and they screamed in pain, and hurriedly hid against the rock wall.

Sima Cuo himself was almost hit by a stone the size of a grinding plate, which shocked him into a cold sweat, and he hid his war horse under the rock wall. At this time, the stones on the top of the mountain are a little thinner.

Sima Cuo hurriedly conveyed the order to the rear: "The soldiers of the Qin army should try to get as close to the rock wall as possible, so as not to be hit by the stones thrown from the mountain. However, we must not slow down the speed, and we must still get out of the encirclement of the combined column army as soon as possible. ”

Sima Cuo's orders were inherently imstrictive: it was not easy to move fast and hide and hide. However, the matter has come to this point, there are pursuers behind, and there is an ambush on the top of the mountain, and the Qin army can only tremble and ask for more blessings.

Despite approaching the rock wall, there were still sergeants who were smashed by the stones thrown from the hill, and the screams were incessant. Yan Sui, who was standing on the top of the mountain and commanding, listened to the shouts of the Qin army and laughed heartily.

He scolded: "I tell you gangsters to taste the taste of being ambushed, it must be uncomfortable." Deserve! Then he laughed again.

Sima Cuo clinged to the rock wall, he heard Yan Sui's scolding, and his heart was on fire, but he didn't dare to show up, for fear that once he revealed his whereabouts, he would become a live target for the rock-throwing army on the mountain.

Sima Cuo looked at the embarrassed retreating Qin army at this time, and his teeth itched with hatred, and he thought to himself: "Unexpectedly, I fell for Su Qin's trick again." Last time, I was bluffed by their bluffing, but this time I didn't expect them to do the opposite, and they didn't get tired of cheating. This Su Qinzhi's slippery head is really hateful! Sima Cuo couldn't wait to break Su Qin's body into pieces at this time.

He couldn't help but faintly regret in his heart, and the one who regretted it was such a great opportunity that slipped away from his hand in vain.

He thought: "If Su Qin leads the combined vertical coalition army to go two more miles, he will be entering the net of heaven and earth that he has laid; If the vanguard led by Shi Hong had pursued in time, Su Qin would not have had time to organize a counterattack lineup; If the Jiaoyang City troops led by Ji Fen can intercept Su Qin in the west for a while, a two-way siege will be formed, so why not break the combined army? ”

Thousands of things shouldn't have happened, such a coincidental thing has come together, Sima Cuo can not hate and regret it! He shouted in his heart: "This day will not let me Sima make a mistake to establish miraculous feats, it is not that I am not good at fighting!" ”

Such painstaking listening to intelligence, such careful and meticulous planning, and such a cruel and tragic fight finally ended with the withdrawal of the Qin army.

At this time, Sima Cuo was worried about the safety of Shi Hong and the troops of the palace he led, he had been disgraced by the rocks on the top of the mountain, so there was no need for Shi Hong and them to suffer this blow.

Sima Cuo then ordered a personal colonel beside him: "You go and pass the order to General Shi Hong, ordering him not to return along the same road, it is best to break through from the north slope ditch and go to Shangguan City to find Gongsun Yan to rendezvous." ”

The little colonel also knew that it was not easy for him to withdraw from Xipi, and if he returned, it was undoubtedly more than lucky, but the Qin army had strict military discipline, how dare he not obey. Therefore, he could only run back in the direction of the retreat of the troops.

Sima Cuo looked at the back of the little colonel, sighed, and said in his heart: "If Shi Hong can break through from the north sloping ditch, it may not be very safe, because the battle situation on the side of Shangguan City is not known yet?" ”

At the beginning, he learned that the combined column coalition army led by Su Qin would attack Shangguan Chengxia and Michi City in two ways respectively, and he knew that with the strength of the Qin army, he would face the pressure of losing at both ends if he blocked it separately.

After thinking about it, Sima decided to gather the main force of the Qin army on the front line of Mianchi, and laid down three blockade lines, condescending step by step, and ambushing step by step, in order to completely annihilate the main force of the combined column army led by Su Qin.

In this way, he was originally prepared to give up the siege of Shangguancheng at the expense, so Sima Cuo transferred his sworn enemy Gongsun Yan to Shangguancheng and used him as a scapegoat and victim.

Sima Cuo is now returning in vain on the front line of Mianchi, knowing that it was just a draw, and the joint column army led by Su Qin was beaten by his own ambush and fled, and he was also made to fall by Su Qin's counter-ambush. Sima Cuo was worried about the Qin army under Shangguan City, and secretly prayed that Gongsun Yan would be able to give some strength and block the right attack of the Hezhong coalition army.

At this time, although Sima Cuo's suspicion of Gongsun Yan was not reduced, for the sake of the Qin army's achievements in the Mianchi area, he certainly did not want Gongsun Yan to return.

Su Qin ordered Qu Xin to lead his troops to attack, but he did not expect Sima to see that the situation was not good, so he immediately withdrew, and the combined column coalition army had to chase closely behind the Qin army.

Su Qin also regretted a little that he didn't wait for the Qin army to get closer to launch an attack. However, there is no regret medicine in the world, and he is also for the sake of prudence, because he was worried that after the Qin army broke through the position of the military vehicles, the coalition forces in the west would be thrown into chaos, so he ordered a counterattack without waiting for the Qin army to cross the military vehicles.

The Qin army retreated quickly, and soon retreated to the first line of the mountain road, Shi Hong immediately held the entrance to the mountain road, and although the pursuing force of the combined coalition army was superior in numbers, it could not pass Shi Hong and his men, and rushed over to pursue the large army of Qin led by Sima Cuo.

Su Qin rushed to the forefront of the pursuit and saw that Qu Xin was already wielding a long sword and fighting with Shi Hong. Shi Hong was very brave, he danced the iron spear in his hand through the wind and rain, and Qu Xin had no advantage at all. And Shi Hong can still single-handedly take on Qu Xin, and then force the coalition soldiers who tried to bypass them back.

Su Qin saw that Shi Hong's husband was in charge, and he had the heart to go up to help the young general Qu Xin, but his injuries were not healed, and he was commanding the whole army to retreat, fighting with Ji Fen, Pang Ci, etc., and commanding the allied army's bow and arrow array against the enemy, and his physical overdraft was very serious. I know that if I go up and fight Shi Hong again, I will not be able to do it.

And he himself watched as the large army led by Sima Cuo fled from the mountain road. Fortunately, Yan Sui led his soldiers to ambush him in the place where Sima Coo's retreat must pass, and Su Qin also saw the stones thrown from the top of the mountain, which smashed the Qin army and howled wolf, which was unbearable. He also felt very happy and extremely relieved.
