The last three kingdoms

Chapter 381 The Battle of the Street Pavilion ([-])

After returning to Tianshui, the first thing Liu Yin did was to assemble the army. The strength of the troops in Liu Yin's hands is no longer the same as when he first arrived in Longxi. The newly-organized Qiang army battalion has 1 cavalry, the Yong'an camp stationed in Tianshui and the Baidi camp stationed in Lieliu City have 5000 people, and the soldiers from the counties of Longyou can mobilize 2 troops, plus 6 Qiang troops led by Yao Yikang. Cavalry, excluding the [-] horses led by Fu Qian, the number of troops that can be used for counterattack alone has reached [-].

With a crowd of [-], Fu Qian dragged Wei Jun's [-] troops to the street pavilion, creating enough time for Liu Yin to fight this counterattack. Liu Yin is still full of confidence.

Liu Yin summoned the generals to discuss matters in Tianshui, and quickly determined the counterattack plan.

Take the Huqi Zuoying, Huqiyouying, Yonganying, and Qiangbingying as the middle road, led by Liu Yin himself, and Huang Chong as the assistant, helping Jieting from the front; Land King Liu Chen, Longxi Prefect Qianhong, and Tianshui Prefect Wang Qi led the Baidi camp in Liucheng, marched out of Liucheng, outflanked the right flank of the Wei army; Outflank the left flank of the Wei army.

With the order of the military, all the armies immediately moved into action, doing their own things according to the plan.

This time Liu Yin went west, Deng Ai did not accompany him, but stayed in Tianshui. This time when he entered Jieting, Liu Yin naturally couldn't do without this number one think tank. On the day the army started, Deng Ai was specially recruited To the army.

"What's your opinion on this battle of Jieting?" Liu Yin asked Deng Ai first.

Deng Ai weighed heavily and said: "Sima Wang is a veteran general of Wei. He is well versed in the art of war and has a strategy in his belly. Don't take it lightly. The good thing now is that the Wei army failed to attack the street pavilion. The army is exhausted, and the Wei army relies on it." Nothing is better than the cavalry, if the lord can defeat his cavalry in one battle, he will have a chance of victory in one fell swoop. However, I think that the lord only has [-] people rushing to help Jieting from the front, which seems to be a little weak."

When it comes to Sima Wang, no one knows him better than Deng Ai. When Sima Wang was the general of Zhengxi and the governor of Yongliang, Deng Ai was General Anxi and Sima Wang's direct subordinate. Sima Wang was in Yongliang for eight years. Military achievements are remarkable.Deng Ai is also quite familiar with the specialties of the Wei army. The cavalry of the Wei army has always been the biggest reliance of the Wei army. Naturally, the cavalry cannot use their strength to attack the street pavilion, but this time Liu Yin rescued the street pavilion. In the contest of cavalry, only by defeating the cavalry of the Wei army can we see the hope of victory.

Now that Liu Yin is only riding [-] paces to prepare for a head-on confrontation with the Wei army, Deng Ai is still a little worried. Although the Shu army is now equipped with high bridge saddles and double-sided stirrups, the combat effectiveness is much higher than before, but the disadvantages in terms of strength Deng Ai is still a little worried, after all, this is a contest that concerns the overall situation of Longyou, and any negligence may lead to the loss of the decisive battle.

Liu Yin smiled slightly. Deng Ai did not accompany him on the expedition to Xiqiang this time. Naturally, he did not see the power of the Gaoqiao saddle and double-sided stirrups. , Let alone the cavalry of the State of Wei, Liu Yin is full of confidence in this battle at Jieting.If it is not bad as I expected, Sima Wang will definitely use the cavalry to fight against the west of Jieting because of his strong cavalry. As long as the cavalry of the Wei army is completely destroyed in the first battle, the victory of Jieting will be within easy reach.

On this point, Liu Yin and Deng Ai have a consensus. No matter what the situation is, the Wei cavalry is an insurmountable barrier in front of them. Only by defeating the Wei cavalry can they win the battle.

From Jicheng to the east, the distance from Jieting is three to four hundred miles. If the Shu army is all cavalry, they can reach Jieting in a day at most, but now there is a mixture of infantry and cavalry. The speed of travel has to be reduced.

Although the battle at Jieting was tense, Liu Yin did not dare to be careless at all. He knew that Sima Wang was good at using troops, and such a long-distance attack was the best opportunity for the Wei soldiers to sneak attack. If he was not careful, he would lose everything , Liu Yin ordered the army to be more energetic. Although the march during the day was hard work, the defense at night was not allowed to relax at all. Every night when camping and setting up camps, strong camps must be built, and rangers and patrols should be sent widely. , Beware of Wei Bing's sneak attack at night.

Even so, the vanguard of the Shu army arrived at Dishui Cliff on the fourth day.Dishui Cliff is only more than [-] miles away from Jieting. When you climb to the top of Dishui Cliff, you can clearly see the whole Longshan Mountain, and even the earth mountain of Jieting can be vaguely seen.

From Dishui Cliff to Jieting, it is almost a flat land. There is no ups and downs on the thirty-mile road, and it is a vast and boundless scene.

"This is an ideal place for cavalry to fight." Liu Yin sighed as he climbed up and looked into the distance.Then he immediately ordered to expand the reconnaissance range of the scout sentry cavalry to ten miles away, and pay close attention to the movements of the Wei army.

Now Sima Wang can't succeed in besieging Jieting. Although he can't go around Jieting and attack Longyou, he is unimpeded inside and outside Jieting. , Let the Shu army easily converge in one place, this is by no means what Sima Wang wants to see, he will definitely find a way to isolate Fu Qian's troops guarding Jieting Tushan from the reinforcements coming from Tianshui, and prevent them from converging.

In order to achieve this goal, Sima Wang had to move the overall defensive front of the Wei army forward, that is, to order a part of the Wei army to go out of the street pavilion and build a line of defense to the west of the street pavilion, which is the most commonly used by military strategists. "Battle method, that is to use part of the troops to besiege the enemy in the stronghold, and the other part of the troops to serve as reinforcements, taking both inside and outside into account, and working together.

So after Liu Yin arrived at Dishui Cliff, he was no longer in a hurry to march, but sent scouts to detect the movements of the Wei army and prepare for countermeasures.

If Sima Wang moves the line of defense forward, then Dishui Cliff will be the place for the decisive battle between the two sides. If Sima Wang still besieges Jieting Tushan with heavy troops, Liu Yin will definitely go straight to Jieting.

Sure enough, as Liu Yin expected, the scout soldiers reported that a large number of Wei cavalry was found ten miles ahead, and they were rushing towards Dishui Cliff, riding thousands of horses, and they were menacing.

A sharp cold light flashed in Liu Yin's eyes, and he gave the order to fight calmly and calmly.
