Chapter 781: Who hasn't taken a few steps yet
From Huyukou to the east, is the towering Taihang Mountain Yumai Sunset Peak, stop at the top of the mountain, the battle situation on the side of Huyukou is clear at a glance.
With a game of chess and two cups of tea, what Cao Liang is enjoying now is almost like a paradise-like comfortable life.
Playing against him, it was naturally Huan Fan, and the two of them seemed to be indifferent to the battle in the distance, but devoted all their attention to the chess game without distraction.
Cao Liang took the lead in white, and soon built a big appearance on the chessboard, wanting to stage a good show of slaying the dragon, but Huan Fan calmly coped with it, and changed a few hands, and lived a lonely chess piece to death.
Huan Fan smiled leisurely and said: "I'm afraid the lord didn't expect this hand of a certain one, a pun, not only saved this piece of solitary chess, but also cracked the external momentum of the white chess. ”
Cao Liang smiled slightly and said: "A game of chess, who can not have a few good moves, you don't have to be proud, this chess game is still very long." ”

Outside Huyukou, the cavalry of the Sima army came very quickly, and it was still on the Pingchuan River in the south just now, but in a moment, it had already been killed outside Huyukou.
Huyukou is a special geographical environment, surrounded by mountains on three sides, shaped like a tiger's mouth, if the Sima cavalry into the valley, then the infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion of the Bingzhou army will be suppressed, the position will be completely squeezed, and the living space will also be threatened.
The original situation was that the Bingzhou army besieged the Sima army on all sides, and now the Sima cavalry killed, under the combination of the inside and outside, it became the Sima army to attack the Bingzhou army, if the Pingchuan area here, the Bingzhou army can also transfer the battlefield to avoid its edge.
However, the special terrain of Huyukou determines that the Bingzhou army has almost no way to retreat, even if some of the soldiers and horses can retreat to the east and west mountains, it may be the infantry who retreat, and the horses of the Xiaocai battalion will not be able to climb the steep cliff in any case.
What's more, the retreat of the infantry also takes time, the road up the mountain is too crowded after all, and the cavalry of the Sima army is coming so fast, most of the Bingzhou army has almost no way to retreat.
Once they are flanked by the enemy, the situation of the state army will become sinister.
Wen Qin immediately made a decision and led the cavalry battalion out of the valley to block the cavalry of the Sima army from the valley, so that at least he could buy a lot of time for the infantry battalion.
At the sound of an order, the cavalry battalion immediately turned around and rushed to the valley mouth.
The iron hooves rumbled, the war horses neighed, and the Sima cavalry rushed all the way to kill, and the stirring yellow dust flew all over the sky, as if a sandstorm was blowing between the flat ground, covering the sky and the sun, and the blue sky seemed to be covered with a layer of yellow sand curtains, and the blazing sun became faint.
The Xiao cavalry battalion was naturally not to be outdone, and the fast galloping horses' hooves stirred up the loess that had been crushed into dust in the valley again, and with the dust and smoke all the way, the Xiao cavalry camp met the enemy head-on.
Despite the obvious numerical disadvantage of the cavalry battalion, this army of tigers and leopards has never lacked courage, and even the most powerful enemy will not make them lose their fighting spirit, but will stimulate their blood.
Wen Qin took the lead and rushed to the front, and all the cavalry of the cavalry battalion roared past and killed the valley.
Chen Qian, Chen Tai, and Hu Fen each led 10,000 cavalry, and they went out in three directions and killed Huyukou together. Their purpose is very clear, that is, to block all the Bingzhou troops in the narrow valley, and then rely on the powerful impact of the cavalry to crush the infantry of the Bingzhou army, and with the cooperation of Wang Guan, the inside and outside should be combined, and there is basically no big suspense in this battle.
Don't forget, there are tens of thousands of Sima Yi's main forces in front of Huyukou, they are currently blocked by the Bingzhou army, and they can't open this road for the time being, but if they achieve a decisive victory here, then the resistance of the Bingzhou army will be unsustainable, and the time of the Sima army's meeting is the time when the Bingzhou army is completely destroyed.
Sima Jun's wishful thinking was naturally exquisite, but they ignored the bloody nature of the Xiao cavalry battalion, knowing that Sima Jun was extremely powerful, but they rose to the occasion and marched against the current, blocking Sima Jun's cavalry outside the valley.
It was supposed to be a great opportunity for the cavalry of the Sima army to storm the infantry of the state, but it was counter-charged by the cavalry battalion, but it turned into a duel between the cavalry of the two sides, and the battlefield was not in the Huyu Pass.
The two strands of iron cavalry collided head-on head-on, and launched a fierce fight.
Although it has been seven years since the last time they participated in the Battle of Huainan, most of the cavalry who participated in the battle at that time were still in the formation, although they were no longer young at this time, but the accumulation of years made them more calm and more fearless.
This is the most tragic battle, many horses directly collided together, the violent collision even made the heads of the horses shattered, the soldiers on both sides are still sitting on the back of the horse, fighting hard, you a knife, I a shot, the knife is deadly, the gun kills the soul.
Although the cavalry battalion is almost the same as the Sima army in terms of equipment, the courage of these knights is incomparable, the 5,000-person cavalry battalion, and the 30,000-person Sima cavalry, may not be a level in terms of quantity, but because of the interception of the cavalry battalion, the cavalry of the Sima army cannot step into the Huyu Pass in half a step.
Yanghu did not retreat because of the arrival of the cavalry of the Sima army, but increased the intensity of the attack, joined part of the troops of the Changshui battalion and the shooting sound battalion, and continued to besiege Wang Guan.
Wang Guan already knew in advance that the Sima cavalry would come, so in the battle, Wang Guan had always adopted the strategy of protecting himself, repeatedly shrinking his forces and increasing his defensive capabilities to resist the repeated attacks of the Bingzhou army.
Because he knew that as long as he waited until Sima Jun's reinforcements arrived, he could put in a counterattack.
However, what made Wang Guan depressed was that the reinforcements of the Sima army arrived as scheduled, but they were blocked out of Huyukou by a small number of Bingzhou cavalry, and they could not get the strong support of the reinforcements, and the situation of the Sima army being besieged did not change at all.
The Bingzhou army is still attacking as always, and the offensive seems to have become more violent, suppressing Wang Guan breathlessly, Wang Guan has no choice but to honestly continue to play the role of a shrinking turtle, waiting for reinforcements to come to the rescue.
