Chapter 756: Crushed
Now the situation of the Sima army outside the city is indeed more miserable, under the strong impact of the strong and powerful cavalry, the so-called formation, has already been rushed to pieces, the infantry is in a natural disadvantage against the cavalry, only relying on the strength of the team can barely support, but at this time the Sima army does not see the generals, will not see the soldiers, can not organize the formation at all, and it is normal to be swept and crushed.
Even if the cavalry of the Sima army, many people did not have time to ride on the war horse, and the state army had already pounced and cut it under the horse, and the cavalry that could not form a team organization would soon be swallowed up by the cavalry wave of the Bingzhou army by relying on individual soldiers and fighting alone.
Comparatively speaking, under the command of Deng Ai, Shi Bao, and Wen Qin, the offensive objectives of the Bingzhou army were clear, and the action was fast, and they inserted forward in the form of columns, just like a sharp knife, easily tearing apart the position of the Sima army, dividing it into several pieces, and then encircling and suppressing the prey in its encirclement, precise and sharp strikes, so that the Sima army could not respond, and almost could not find a chance to escape.
In desperation, many of the Sima soldiers ran towards the city of bowls, knowing that their lord was in the city, and if they could escape into the city, at least a layer of wall would protect them from the trampling of the cavalry.
There are only two gates in Wanzi City, one south and one north, the city gate is narrow and narrow, a large number of Sima soldiers are crowded under the city, crowded to the water, they desperately pound the city gate, shouting loudly, asking the defenders in the city to open the city gate and let them in.
The gates were limited, and many people crowded under the walls, hoping to receive help from the robes inside the city.
At this time, Chen Tai and Hu Fen didn't dare to open the city gate at all, as soon as the bowl city was very small, after accommodating 5,000 people, it was already overcrowded, and even if the city gate was opened, there would not be many more people in it. Moreover, the speed of the Bingzhou cavalry is extremely fast, once the city gate is opened, before the Sima army enters the city, they have already pounced, once the city gate is taken away by the Bingzhou cavalry, the consequences are unimaginable.
Therefore, Chen Tai and Hu Fen stood at the head of the city, and they could only watch the army under their command being slaughtered, and there was no way to do it.
As a leading general, in the face of such a battle situation, it is naturally impossible to be indifferent, but Chen Tai did not dare to take risks, the defeat outside the city was decided, and the city must be breached, and they would have to be wiped out!
At this time, Hu Fen commanded the soldiers in the city to find some ropes and hang them down, so that the soldiers in the city could climb up along the ropes.
Seeing these ropes like life-saving straws, the soldiers under the city climbed the ropes one after another.
But rope climbing is not a skill that everyone can have, rope climbing requires both strength and skill, and people who have not been trained to climb a few feet along the rope at most, have no strength to continue, and even fall.
And in addition to fleeing for their lives, many people often do not care about the consequences, and even a dozen people are hung on a rope, and no matter how thick the rope is, it can't bear such a weight, so the string of Sima soldiers who broke the rope fell down again, and fell to pieces.
The Bingzhou army also seemed to have observed this situation, and they simply took the Sima soldiers hanging on the city wall as a living target, and aimed them with bows and arrows, and many of them were about to climb the city, and they expected that a feathered arrow would fly, and they would fall from the city like a kite with a broken string.
There were very few Sima soldiers who escaped to the city by climbing ropes, and only a few people were lucky enough to climb the city, and a large number of Sima soldiers still gathered under the city, desperately shouting to open the city gate.
It's a pity that even if they shouted through their throats, no one came to open the city gate, at this time, the Bingzhou cavalry had already rushed to the city gate, if the city opened the door, it would be equivalent to letting the enemy into the city.
Chen Tai had strictly ordered the soldiers defending the city to prohibit opening the city gates, but he ordered the defenders of the city to keep firing arrows to stop the attacking Bingzhou cavalry, hoping to give the Sima army who had taken refuge in the city a little shelter.
But how could it be that the arrows were fired in the midst of the chaos and were not injured by mistake, so the arrows in the city were shot, and many times they killed many of their own people.
As a result, the Sima soldiers under the city were completely desperate, and the generals in the city not only did not open the door for them, but shot them with arrows, which was simply to rush the rhythm of extermination.
"Don't do it, Lao Tzu surrenders!" A small leader shouted angrily, threw away his weapon, raised his hands high, and ran towards the state army.
The surrender of one person immediately caused a great chain reaction, and many people threw away their weapons one after another and surrendered to the state army.
This is a battle with no hope, in despair, surrender has become the last chance to live, for ordinary soldiers, there is no psychological baggage, eating food and being a soldier, it was originally to eat for a living, and when you can't see a way to live, surrender has become the only choice.
The defeat was overwhelming, more and more people gave up resistance, and the battle was about to come to an end before it had been long.
Chen Tai's face turned pale, no matter what, he didn't expect that he would lose so badly for the first time in his life when he commanded a battle, and the battle was already about to end as soon as it began.
You know, there are at least 15,000 people under the city, and this is an army of 15,000 armed to the teeth, even if it is 15,000 pigs, running all over the mountains and fields, it is not an easy task to slaughter them all, at least it will take a lot of time.
It's a pity that these fifteen thousand people are not as good as fifteen thousand pigs, so brittle and unbelievable.
Hu Fen's face was calmer, after all, in the battle of Heyang, he had encountered the same situation, at that time, Hu Fen led 30,000 horses, but under the impact of the three major iron cavalry in Bingzhou, the army was defeated like a mountain, if he did not escape in time, it was likely that he would have given his life to Heyang.
Now that the number of Sima troops has been reduced by half, and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry seems to be larger than before, then this battle is still a fart, when he saw the black pressure of the Bingzhou cavalry rushing over, Hu Fen knew that the defeat was decided, and no force could save it.
This is completely a crushing battle, the Sima army outside the city has no way to survive except surrender, but can the Sima army staying in the bowl city guarantee absolute safety?
Hu Fen thought about it and was terrified, the sweat on his head suddenly flowed, and he shouted: "It's not good! ”
