Sima Zhao is thinking about how to solve the dilemma at hand, and Zhong Hui is also thinking about how to defeat Sima Zhao.
"Shiji!" Wang Ji asked calmly: "Now that Sima Zhao won't cross the river, how should we deal with it?"
Wang Ji is actually a little worried.
Because when he left Luoyang, Cao Fang gave him a ten-day deadline. He must defeat Sima Zhao within ten days, otherwise Henan Yin would stop doing it and stop thinking about his head.
"Prince Fu, don't worry!" Zhong Hui said with a smile: "The one who is anxious now is Sima Zhao, not us... Now the entire Wei Dynasty has our backing, and His Majesty has also sent many people to rush to our aid.
”
Wang Ji is the commander-in-chief, Zhong Hui is just assisting.
So Wang Ji was anxious, but Zhong Hui was very calm.
Of course, Wang Ji is worried, and another point is that now that the emperor is decisive in killing, he does not want to get into trouble at this juncture.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, who would have thought that the once glorious Sima family would now become a "traitor" of the Wei Dynasty?
......
At noon.
"Report!"
A small colonel quickly ran into the Chinese army tent and said anxiously: "General, Cao Kai, King of Jinan, has led his army within twenty miles."
It came so fast... Sima Zhao frowned slightly. This Cao Kai was the biological father of the immediate emperor Cao Fang. He was considered a fish that slipped through the net of the Luoyang Cao clan during the Gaoping Ling Incident.
If I had known today, when Cao Shuang was killed, he should have been killed too... Sima Zhaoxin said, then he looked at the generals in the tent and said solemnly: "Cao Kai only has 30,000 Qingzhou soldiers, and this person is
If you have no talent, you can attack him before his footing is stable."
"I will obey the general's orders!"
The generals in the tent responded happily.
Half an hour later, on the south side of Jingshan, a uniform team was marching forward, led by a strong man in his fifties.
"Speed up... Don't kill Sima Zhao today!" The strong man reminded the soldiers around him as he galloped.
This person is none other than Cao Kai, King of Jinan, the biological father of Cao Fang, the emperor of the Wei dynasty.
Cao Kai rarely led troops in battles in his life, because there were so many talented people in the Cao family that it was not his turn to lead troops.
This time it was different. After the Gaoping Ling Incident, the Cao family was wiped out by Sima Yi. The few remaining people were either very old or underage.
As a member of the royal family and the biological father of the current Emperor of Wei, Cao Kai learned that his son had killed Sima Yi ten days ago and sent an order for him to lead troops from Yecheng to serve the king. Cao Kai did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately ordered 30,000 troops from Qingzhou.
The soldiers went straight to Luoyang to kill him. However, three days ago, there was news from the court that they did not need to go to Luoyang and directly intercepted Sima Zhao halfway.
Yesterday morning, Sima Zhao resisted the east bank of Sishui River. On the west bank, soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court blocked Sima Zhao's way. Cao Kai immediately ordered the army to march day and night.
In a few miles, we will reach the east bank of Sishui where Sima Zhao is.
"Kill!"
Just when Cao Kai ordered an urgent march, a cavalry team suddenly emerged from the forest on one side. The knights bravely took the lead and went straight to the Qingzhou Army led by Cao Kai to kill them.
"Meet the enemy!"
"Meet the enemy!"
Although Cao Kai was a little surprised by the sudden attack on the enemy, he still calmly commanded his soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy. The cavalry that suddenly came out, without even thinking about it, must be Sima Zhao's team.
"Kill!"
Deng Ai pointed his sword and commanded the cavalry to cover them up.
Cao Kai's Qingzhou soldiers were mainly infantry. Facing about thousands of cavalry, he did not let the soldiers confront each other. Instead, he asked the spearmen to stand in front of the formation to block the incoming cavalry.
Infantry is at a disadvantage against cavalry.
Of course, there are ways to deal with it.
"Outflank both wings, I will go straight to the center!" Deng Ai saw that Cao Kai wanted to use the spear formation to delay his attack, so he immediately divided the five thousand cavalry into three teams, and he led the central army to directly attack the main force of Cao Kai's central army.
, dispersed three thousand people and surrounded them from both wings.
Deng Ai was well versed in the art of war and knew that Cao Kai's army was about to arrive, so he asked Sima Zhao for five thousand fine cavalry and quickly ambush him on the south side of Jingshan Mountain. This was the only way for Cao Kai's army to pass, and he came suddenly.
It would be difficult for Cao Kai to detect those who block the attack.
The confrontation between the two armies at this time was not what Deng Ai had expected, because Cao Kai was still ordering the soldiers to speed up their march, but he did not know that there was an ambush of cavalry in the nearby mountains and forests.
Seeing Deng Ai leading the Chinese army rushing towards him, Cao Kai did not dare to be careless. In addition to the more than 2,000 spearmen in front, there were 3,000 archers behind him, ready to attack.
Deng Ai didn't care about this. When the cavalry charged, it was inevitable that they would not be greeted by the enemy with bows and arrows. Both Deng Ai and the cavalry he led knew this clearly.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow!"
Seeing that Deng Ai and his army were about to charge over, Cao Kai immediately ordered the archers to release arrows. The enemy within a hundred steps should use bows and arrows to block them. This was the best way.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
As Deng Ai galloped, he waved his sword to block the flying arrows. However, from time to time, some of the cavalrymen behind him would fall off their horses, and their horses would fall over. The cavalrymen who followed behind would either trample on the bodies of their companions, or be killed by those who fell in front.
The war horse stumbled.
In an instant, the cavalry team led by Deng Ai began to overturn on their backs, with shouts of killing, stamping sounds, and the neighing of war horses. However, Deng Ai and the two thousand cavalry did not slow down the impact.
On the other side, two small colonels each led 1,500 cavalry and quickly detoured to both sides of Cao Kai's army, but what greeted them was still a rain of arrows.
"Kill!"
The small school shouted loudly, and the cavalrymen roared one by one, braving countless arrows and attacking the two wings of Cao Kai's army.
The war horse is extremely fast, and its impact is certainly not low.
When the cavalry on both wings arrived, they waved their scimitars and short spears to chop or stab. Those Qingzhou soldiers did not dare to neglect. Although they were facing cavalry, they also charged towards the cavalry with their swords.<
/p>
There is no advantage in confronting the cavalry.
However, some soldiers are still very smart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
If you can't hedge, I can pull you off your horse.
The scene instantly fell into chaos. The Qingzhou soldiers either slashed or flew towards the cavalry. However, the cavalry was much simpler. They opened their bows from left to right and then charged forward.
At the beginning of the attack on both wings, the front army also encountered a blow.
Deng Ai led two thousand knights and rushed into the spear array. Facing the spears that were suddenly thrust at them, some of the horses were frightened and neighed harshly.
There was also the sound of scimitars and spears colliding with each other.
The battle of this Qingzhou soldier surprised Deng Ai. In principle, even if there were 30,000 infantrymen, facing 5,000 cavalry charging back and forth, they would be hit hard.
This is actually the case, but what surprised Deng Ai was that these Qingzhou soldiers seemed to be desperate for their lives. Facing the attack of the cavalry, they knew they could not stop them, but they still swarmed forward, trying to use their bodies to turn into a human wall.
This slows down the cavalry.
"Kill!"
The Qingzhou soldiers were also howling and screaming. They couldn't run away, so they had to fight to the death.
Because even if they want to run, how can they outrun a four-legged war horse with two legs?
While fighting was going on on the south side of Jingshan Mountain, Sima Zhao, who was stationed on the east bank of Sishui River, also encountered a strong enemy.
"Rebel Sima Zhao!" Wei Zhennan General Guanqiu Jian immediately shouted: "Your father deceived the emperor and was executed by the emperor. Now that the emperor's army is here, are you still going to resist?"
"Guanqiu Jianfu!" Sima Zhao also said angrily: "You, Cao Fang's eagle dog, my father spent his whole life, devoted himself to the great Wei Dynasty, but was innocently killed by Cao Fang, a foolish king. You still want to kill him on behalf of such a foolish king.
Loyal minister and good general!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Guanqiu Jian scolded sternly: "This general has been ordered to capture you. If you don't want to end your life, you should dismount and surrender immediately. Otherwise, all your soldiers and generals will be killed!"
"Then give it a try!" Sima Zhao sneered and roared, then pointed his sword and shouted loudly: "Let go!"
As soon as Sima Zhao gave his general order, hundreds of spears flew out of their bows and flew straight towards Guanqiu Jian's cavalry.
This is a three-bow crossbow, a powerful weapon for infantry to attack and defend the city.
Sima Zhao was originally ordered to attack Hefei and then go south to attack Wuchang, so he brought a large number of three-bow crossbows.
I didn’t expect that in just one month, these weapons would be fired at Wei’s cavalry.
Guanqiu Jian was a good general, and he also studied the three-bow bed crossbow.
"Spread left and right!"
"Attack!"
Guanqiu Jian immediately issued the order, and then he saw 30,000 cavalry quickly dispersed, and then went straight towards Sima Zhao.
