The last three kingdoms

Chapter 382 The Battle of the Street Pavilion ([-])

In fact, the plan to encircle and fight for aid has long been formed in Sima Wang's mind. Since the first siege of Tushan, a full ten days have passed. The Wei army has paid a huge price in casualties, but it has never been able to win The street pavilions and hills made Sima Wang, who had always been smug, a little disappointed.

Although he also knows very well that it is very difficult to fight fortified battles, especially when fighting against the Shu army, which is best at mountain warfare, it is indeed very difficult to win the earth mountain.As a former opponent of Shu general Fu Qian, Sima Wang also knew very well. During the Battle of the Great Wall, Fu Qian's tenacity and bravery had left a deep impression on Sima Wang.

This is definitely a tough opponent.This is Sima Wang's comment to Fu Qian.Perhaps when he first arrived at Jieting, Sima Wang laughed at Liu Yin's ignorance and Fu Qian's recklessness, but the facts undoubtedly gave Sima Wang a heavy slap in the face. Now it seems that the Shu army who solved the drinking water problem is undoubtedly He chose the most correct defensive strategy. Instead of becoming the second Ma Su, Fu Qian became the hardest bone to crack.

Sima Wang believed that if the Shu army was only in charge of the Dao Lizhai and guarded the abandoned city of Jieting, with the superiority of the Wei army, it would not be easy to say, but at least it would take ten days to conquer Jieting without any pressure, because attacking from the front , the assault advantage of the Wei army cavalry can be revealed. No matter how tenacious the Shu army is, they can only be crushed in the face of absolute power.

But now that the Shu army is stationed on the earth mountain, relying on the danger to defend, the Wei army's advantages cannot be fully utilized, which makes Sima Wang feel that he is full of energy but can't use it.

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for the Wei army. Not only did the defenders on the mountain become more tenacious as they fought, but the attacking Wei army became more discouraged. More importantly, Sima Wang did not believe that Liu Yin would ignore the siege of Jieting He will definitely send reinforcements to the rescue.

However, according to the spies who came to report that the war in Xiqiang was over, Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng who had been placed with high hopes by Sima Wang, was finally disemboweled and died in a terrible way. The Qiang rebellion is currently returning to Tianshui.

The previous plan seemed to be so perfect. Sima Wang marched from the east, Yang Xin stirred up the Qiang rebellion, and disturbed the rear of Longyou. No matter how talented and strategically famous generals are in the dilemma of being attacked by two sides, it is rare to have a perfect strategy. Sima Wang believes that solving the Longyou problem is nothing more than a simple effort.

But what Sima Wang didn't expect was that he failed to take down Jieting, which he attacked with all his strength, but Liu Yin had already suppressed the Qiang rebellion in just half a month. The chess piece played by Youbu was also destroyed in the end.

Sima Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis when he was on the brink of failure.

Before the Western Expedition, even when he had just arrived at Jieting, Sima Wang hadn't faced Liu Yin's opponent squarely. In his opinion, under the sweep of a hundred thousand troops, no matter whether Liu Yin or Fu Qian, he would soon be defeated. It will be wiped out, even if there is no disturbance from the Qiang people, it will be easy for him to take Longxi.

But after Jieting was blocked, Sima Wang finally put away his arrogance and re-examined these familiar and unfamiliar opponents.

Now that Liu Yin has returned to Tianshui, he believes that within a few days, he will come to Jieting to rescue him. Even though the Wei army has the upper hand in terms of strength, it is always uncomfortable to be attacked by the enemy. Sima Wang will definitely try his best to avoid such a situation. something happens.

Joining the army, Su Yu remonstrated: "Since the people of Shu will definitely send troops to rescue Jieting, why don't the governors attack what they must save? Put cavalry in the west of Jieting to block the enemy who comes to help. If they break the reinforcements, Fu Qin will be terrified. Tushan It must be broken without attacking."

Sima Wang was overjoyed and deeply convinced that he immediately dispatched Tang Bin with [-] horses to ride west out of Jieting, and set up defenses in the plains to the west of Longshan Mountain, waiting for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Shu army who came to aid Jieting.

Sima Wang's request is simple and clear, that is, Tang Bin is required to block the reinforcements of the Shu army from Tianshui at all costs, and wait for the opportunity to wipe out the enemy.Sima Wang still has enough confidence in his cavalry. Among the Three Kingdoms, the Wu State is stronger than the water army, the Shu army is good at infantry, and the main trump card of the Wei State is the cavalry. Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry are famous all over the world. Invincible in attack, invincible in battle, sweeping the world, no one can save the front.Although the cavalry led by Sima Wang is a bit inferior to that of the tiger and leopard cavalry, compared with the miscellaneous cavalry troops of the Shu army, Sima Wang has sufficient reasons to believe that on the plains, the cavalry of Wei State will be invincible. of.

Tang Bin had been commanding the infantry to attack the earth mountain for many days, but he found nothing, which made him extremely depressed. At this time, Sima Wang ordered him to lead the cavalry to fight, and Tang Bin immediately felt like a fish in water. Then he found it again, and led [-] powerful horses roaring across the street pavilion to the west of Longshan Mountain.

Like Liu Yin's vision, Tang Bin also fell in love with the Pingchuan area east of Dishui Cliff at a glance. It is wide and flat, which is where the cavalry is useful, so Tang Bin also set foot in Pingchuan east of Dishui Cliff. Yinglai, closely watching the movements in the direction of Tianshui.

The news that the Shu army set off from Jicheng soon reached Tang Bin's ears. When he heard that the Shu army's reinforcements were a mixed force of [-] infantry and cavalry, Tang Bin had a contemptuous smile on his face. He has seen the cavalry before, but they are just a group of melon eggs who have just learned how to ride horses. They are pure mobs, and they are not vulnerable at all.

Although the total strength of the two sides is equal, but [-] cavalry against [-] mixed infantry, Tang Bin felt that there was almost no suspense in such a battle. With the consistent record of the Wei army cavalry, this victory would definitely be crushing.

"Get ready to meet the enemy!" Tang Bin, who was eating, suddenly stood up when he heard that the Shu army had arrived at Dishui Cliff, and ordered loudly. The gentle and elegant Confucian generals are the school.

Tang Bin knew that Sima Wang entrusted him with this most important task because of his trust in him, and he naturally couldn't live up to this trust.Tang Bin is even more ambitious. Since the Western Expedition, he has not really shown himself as a vanguard officer, and this battle will definitely be the most important stroke in his merit list. Can he be named a marquis and a wife immediately? Yinzi, I'm really counting on this battle.

The cavalry of the Wei army quickly completed their assembly and marched towards the direction of Dishui Cliff. The golden and iron horses swallowed like tigers, and the dust and smoke raised all the way covered the sky and the sun. The rapid sound of horseshoes completely disturbed the tranquility of this land. .
