The 30,000 men led by Guanqiu Jian were all cavalry. For this reason, he reached the battlefield in just one day.
However, Sima Zhao is not bad here either.
Because Sima Zhao's southern expedition also included a large number of cavalry, and they were all direct descendants of the Sima family.
A total of 26,000 people.
Previously, Deng Ai took away 5,000 cavalry to stop Cao Kai. Now Sima Zhao still has 20,000 cavalry and 60,000 to 70,000 infantry.
There are more than 80,000 people in total, and Sima Zhao is naturally not particularly worried about dealing with 30,000 cavalry. The only thing that worries him is,
Maybe it’s Guanqiu Jian’s reputation,
This is also a battle-hardened veteran.
Moreover, he has more than 80,000 people,
They can't all be used to deal with Guanqiu Jian. After all, there are still Wang Ji and Zhong Hui's troops on the west bank of Sishui River.
Once all the men and horses came to deal with Guanqiu Jian, Wang Jizhong would definitely cross the river and hit his back. In this way, they would attack from both front and back, and the numerical advantage would be instantly eliminated.
At this time, there were actually only 50,000 people facing Guanqiu Jian, and the remaining 30,000 people remained on the east bank of the Sishui River to prevent Wang Ji Zhonghui from leading his army across the river.
After Sima Zhao's spear attack, although Guanqiu Jian's cavalry caused some casualties, the casualties were not large, with more than a thousand people killed in battle.
After blocking two rounds of powerful crossbow strikes, Guanqiu Jian commanded the cavalry to charge into the formation. At the same time, Sima Zhao also sent out the remaining 20,000 cavalry to meet them.
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
"Today we are going to go on a killing spree!"
A small colonel waved the scimitar in his hand, looked at the cavalry rushing forward, and shouted loudly while galloping.
For the Sima family, they, the lower-level soldiers,
They don't have much feelings for them, and they don't have any interactions with them on weekdays. At this time, they have become traitors, and they can kill them at will.
Guanqiu Jian was different. In fact, he had always been reluctant to undermine the Sima family. Moreover, after the Gaoping Ling incident, he actually hated the people of the Sima family.
Because after Sima Yi came to power, he completely ignored the emperor. This is not what a loyal minister should do.
At this moment, facing the only remaining member of the Sima family, he must now be the one to kill Sima Zhao.
Tens of thousands of cavalry galloped in the open fields, and the ground seemed to shake with the trampling of the horses. Guanqiu Jian was leading the way, holding the spear tightly in his hand.
"Speed up, Sima Zhao will be killed today!"
Guanqiu Jian roared while galloping.
On the other side,
Sima Zhao is also taking the lead at this moment,
They have now become rebels. Although he still wears the title of general, he also knows very well that if he hides behind now, the soldiers will not be so desperate.
"Kill!"
"Whoever kills Guanqiu Jian will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins."
Sima Shi sprinted forward while loudly alerting the soldiers around him.
"Kill Guanqiu Jian and get a thousand pieces of gold!"
"Kill Guanqiu Jian and get a thousand pieces of gold!"
Soon the surrounding knights spread this message, and soon the knights on Sima Zhao's side also heard about this reward.
The soldiers don't know whether Sima Zhao has so much money now.
However, they know another thing.
Once they follow Sima Zhao and win this war, they will become generals who have served the dragon with merit. When a new dynasty is established, their rewards will naturally be indispensable.
Having decided to rebel with Sima Zhao, there is no other choice now.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Soon the two cavalrymen rushed together, first of all the knights on Sima Zhao's side. They knew their fate. If they failed, they would die.
As the saying goes, risk your life and survive. This also made Sima Zhao's cavalry have high morale, and they killed the cavalry led by Guanqiu Jian with murderous intent.
Slashing left and right, running rampant, this is the routine of the two cavalry at this time.
Because Sima Zhao had just told the soldiers that whoever killed Guanqiu Jian would be rewarded with a thousand catties of gold, so as soon as they took over the battle, all the cavalrymen on Sima Zhao's side went straight to Guanqiu Jian.
Of course, Guanqiu Jian is not stupid either.
Moreover, he is also a veteran general who has experienced many battles. His soldiers naturally understand that it is their duty to protect the general. Watching the rebels attack, the imperial cavalry immediately rushed over.
"Don't worry about me, they can't kill me yet!" Guanqiu Jian shot a cavalryman who was charging forward and shouted arrogantly. Then, a sarcastic voice came from not far away: "They can't kill you."
, I can kill you!"
"Ha!" Guanqiu Jian raised his eyes and saw that the person coming was none other than Sima Zhao, so he raised a frivolous brow and shouted: "Sima Zhao, your death day has come today, please accept your fate."
When the two armies clash, the main general should be killed first. Both Guanqiu Jian and Sima Zhao understand this principle, and the two are not far apart at this time.
"Ho!" Guan Qiujian stabbed left and right with his spear, and soon several cavalrymen fell to the ground. On the other side, Sima Zhao was also very brave. His weapon was a broadsword, facing the imperial court in front of him.
As a cavalryman, he shows no mercy, he just cuts to the left and to the right.
Wherever the two of them passed, soldiers were constantly being assassinated or chopped down.
"Sima Zhao!" The two of them were still more than ten steps away. Guanqiu Jian raised the reins fiercely, and the horse roared and leaped high. Guanqiu Jian pointed his gun at Sima Zhao and shouted: "Your father has already been executed, why don't you still?"
Dismount and surrender, and when I return to the capital, I can intercede for you in front of His Majesty, and perhaps make your death more painful."
"Bah!" Sima Zhao slashed his sword and shouted: "The Cao family is unkind, don't blame me, the Sima family, for being unjust. I, Sima Zhao, swear to destroy the Cao family!"
Hearing this, Guanqiu Jian couldn't help but laugh loudly.
He laughed at Sima Zhao for talking nonsense. At this time, he still wanted to destroy the Cao family. It was really shameless.
"Kill!"
Guanqiu Jian stopped laughing and shouted, then kicked the horse's belly violently. The prancing horse rushed over, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, he was ready to assassinate.
Guanqiu Jian was famous for his prowess, and Sima Zhao naturally knew about this. Moreover, although the two families had not dealt with each other much before, they were officials in the same dynasty, so they knew each other to some extent.
Seeing Guanqiu Jian rushing towards him, Sima Zhao immediately slashed his sword across the sword and then clapped his horse forward.
Nourishing——
There was a clear sound of weapons clashing, and the distance between the two was already one step away. Sima Zhao wanted to rely on his strength to overwhelm Guanqiu Jian, who was raising his gun to assassinate him.
But Guanqiu Jian refused to give in. After withstanding Sima Zhao's heavy pressure, he suddenly pushed forward and Sima Zhao's sword was knocked away.
The moment the broadsword bounced off, Sima Zhao immediately swung the blade horizontally and quickly swept towards Guan Qiujian's abdomen. However, before the blade could get closer, Guanqiu Jian also had quick eyesight and quick hands. He quickly turned his spear and blocked the broadsword.
However, at the moment when the sword and gun collided, both of them felt a deep tremor from the tiger's mouth.
"Good strength!" Guanqiu Jian shouted, then he patted his horse and jumped forward, arriving behind Sima Zhao. At this moment, Sima Zhao slashed his head with a broadsword, then quickly turned around and struck with a sharp knife.
Attack Guanqiu Jian.
"A few moments!" Guanqiu Jian wanted to kill him with a retort, but failed. He took two steps back and sneered, "Even so, your life is at stake today."
"Stop talking nonsense and watch the sword!" Sima Zhao is in urgent need of a quick victory because he only has so many men and horses, and one less person to kill. Moreover, even if Guan Qiujian is defeated, it does not mean that everything will be fine. There is Luoyang ahead.<
/p>
Therefore, he did not want to waste time here with Guanqiu Jian.
However, Guanqiu Jian was not in a hurry. He responded calmly to every attack from Sima Zhao. He felt that Sima Zhao was a little impatient.
When fighting on the battlefield, the most important thing to avoid is impatience.
Sima Zhao, you're done today... Guanqiu Jian was very happy. He was not in a hurry to assassinate Sima Zhao, but let Sima Zhao attack fiercely first. When he ran out of strength, I would shoot him with one shot.
The two generals are dueling each other, but the rest of the cavalry are not so leisurely. They are facing danger at any time. Now the two armies are strangled together, killing the front, and the swords and guns from behind have already attacked.
Many soldiers just killed an enemy and were then killed by the enemy's companions.
But...this is war.
The battlefield is extremely risky. Once on the battlefield, it means that you have to forget life and death. If you want to survive, you have to use all your strength to kill the enemy.
In today’s battle, who will be the final winner?
We don’t know yet.
Let's fight, soldiers!
