Chapter 994: Where to go
At this moment, there are not many Sima troops left in Pingyang City, and in the case of negligence and prevention, they were caught off guard by the Bingzhou army, and many people are even in a daze, Pingyang City has already changed hands.
Qiao Juncheng and thousands of subordinates below have become prisoners of the Bingzhou army, not that they don't want to escape, but they have no chance at all, Liu Jing's attack is not simply from a city gate to the inside, but the four gates of Pingyang City at the same time to besiege, many Sima soldiers who escaped from the city, and plunged into the ambush of the Bingzhou army.
The reason why Liu Jing did this was to prevent the leakage of the news, it was not difficult to take Pingyang City, the difficult thing was to keep the news so that the Sima army on the front line would not get it.
The loss of such a big city was originally very difficult to keep the news, but Liu Jing made many targeted arrangements at the moment, in addition to launching an attack on the four gates of Pingyang City at the same time, and on the road from Pingyang to Jiexiu, several checkpoints were set up, and people were sent to disguise themselves as Sima Jun to intercept all the people passing by, and they were only allowed to enter and not to leave, so all those who went south were allowed to pass, and all those who went north were prohibited, but anyone who found people in the government or soldiers of the army was detained first.
In this way, it can be ensured to the greatest extent that the news of the loss of Pingyang City will not leak out, and Liu Jing led the right guard battalion into Pingyang City, imprisoned Qiao Juncheng and his subordinates, and the right guard battalion took over the defense of Pingyang City, quietly hiding, ready to deal with the counterattack of Sima Jun.
Liu Jing has been hiding relatively well, the right guard camp is silent at the head of the city, not even a little movement has been made, from the bottom of the city, the whole city seems to be as dead and silent as a no-man's city.
Of course, Sima Shi would not believe that this was an empty city, so he ordered Sima Jun to send a few people over, set up a ladder, and climb up to the top of the city to see what was going on.
Seeing that Sima Bing was about to climb up, and the Bingzhou army could no longer hide, Liu Jing gave an order, and the right guard battalion that was hiding at the head of the city shouted together, killed it, and blocked Sima Bing's attempt to enter the city.
Those people Sima Bing immediately was a fart and urine, so many Bingzhou troops suddenly came out, no matter whether they climbed the city or not, they were all dead.
Seeing this situation, Sima Shi's heart sank suddenly, what he was most worried about before finally happened, and the state army actually took the lead and occupied Pingyang City, which was tantamount to cutting off Sima Jun's way back, and suddenly made Sima Jun fall into a rather passive situation.
The reason why Sima Shi was in a hurry to withdraw his troops, and even abandoned a lot of equipment and baggage, had only one purpose, that is, to rush back to Pingyang as soon as possible and build the first line of defense in Pingyang to resist the southward advance of the Bingzhou army.
And now, Pingyang is actually lost, which is simply a heavy blow to Sima Shi, without the support of the city, the 100,000 army has no place to stand at all, and it will be easily covered by the Bingzhou cavalry, so the top priority is to recapture Pingyang and rebuild the defense line.
Hearing Liu Jing's provocative words, Sima Shi was furious and immediately ordered Sima Jun to attack the city and recapture Pingyang City.
Liu Jing's right guard battalion only has 10,000 horses, and the number of Sima Jun is ten times that of him, so even if it is a siege battle, Sima Shi is not frightened at all, the only unfavorable condition is that the city defense of Pingyang City is strong, the city wall is tall, and the defense facilities are complete, which is an extremely difficult hard bone.
Pingyang County was newly established in the first five years, and was only used as a county administration of Hedong County before, since Cao Liang divided and annexed the state, Pingyang has become the first line of defense to defend and merge the state, Hu Fen served as the Taishou of Pingyang, and spared no effort to rebuild Pingyang City, building it into an important town like a border fortress.
It's just that what Sima Shi and Hu Fen didn't expect was that the first battle of Pingyang City was not the enemy attacking and defending, but on the contrary, it became the enemy defending and attacking.
However, even if it was difficult to bite Sima Shi, it was impossible to give up easily, he stood outside the city wall to personally supervise the battle, urging Sima Jun to go all out to launch an attack.
After the siege battle began, the Sima army surged up like a tide, covering the mountains and fields, covering the sky and the sun, and the momentum was extremely huge.
However, even if the momentum is huge, it is dry thunder and no rain, after several days of forced marching, Sima Jun is already exhausted, plus after the defeat of Qi County, there is a great blow to Sima Jun's military spirit and morale, and now Pingyang is lost, which makes them even more panicked, and the army is disheartened, in such a state, it is extremely difficult to attack the city.
In addition, when retreating, most of the bulky siege equipment was thrown away, such as siege vehicles, catapults, lathes, crossbows, and other weapons, all of which were burned by Sima Shi.
Sima Shi burned these equipment, the intention is also very obvious, that is, to let Sima Jun travel lightly and return to Pingyang as quickly as possible, in his opinion, after returning to Pingyang, it is to defend the city, and these siege equipment are useless for the time being, if they are destroyed, they will be destroyed, and they will not feel pity.
But as soon as he returned to Pingyang, Sima Shi misunderstood that he had made an obvious mistake, there was no siege equipment, and the siege of the entire army was obviously affected.
At that time, Sima Shi thought that when he went back to defend the city, these ladders were useless, so most of the ladders were not kept and burned, and only a small number of ladders could be preserved well, which was just a drop in the bucket, and such a little ladder was not enough at all!
Now Sima Shi really has a feeling that it is difficult to ride a tiger, don't look at the large number of Sima Jun, but in the face of Pingyang City controlled by the Right Guard, he has a feeling of helplessness, with the current state of Sima Jun, if he wants to take Pingyang as soon as possible, there is no possibility at all.
At this moment, the sentry horse suddenly came to report, and the cavalry of the state army had already chased after them, and there was only fifty or sixty miles left from them.
Fifty or sixty miles, for the infantry, it is almost a day's walk, but for the cavalry, it seems to become extremely easy, but it is a matter of moment, and it does not take much time at all.
Hearing this news, Sima Jun was immediately panicked, everyone was in danger, and he didn't know where he would follow Sima Shi. ntent
