Chapter 903: Appetite is not small
Sima Jun doubled his way, and the plan to directly attack Jiexiu had already been known by Yanghu, and Sun Li's long-distance attack was to take advantage of the absence of the main force of the Bingzhou Army to take Jiexiu in one fell swoop and open the door to attack Jinyang.
But not only Sun Li, even Sima Yi didn't think of their strategy, in fact, it was seen through by Cao Liang early on, Sima Yiming repaired the plank road, secretly crossed Chencang, and tried to use the strategy of attacking the east and the west to transfer the main force of the Bingzhou army out of the Jinyang defensive circle.
But they didn't expect that Cao Liang didn't win the plan, but instead sent a fake army to the south under the banner of the infantry battalion and the first battalion, so that everyone in the Sima army mistakenly thought that there was no longer the main infantry of the Bingzhou army in the Jinyang area, and the defense of Jiexiu City was weak and scum, and the Sima army could take it without much effort.
So when Sun Li marched to Jiexiu, what he pursued was speed, and the strength of Jiexiu's defenders really didn't let him take it seriously, and they burned high incense if they could hold the city, where was there still the strength to fight the ambush of Sima Jun, if they dared to come, it would be self-defeating.
When Yanghu saw that Sun Li was running for a long distance so recklessly, it was obvious that he was bullying the people of the state army, and he couldn't help but sneer secretly, secretly saying that Sun Li was also a veteran who was used to fighting for experience, but he didn't expect to make such a low-level mistake.
Long-distance running is true, you can kill the opponent by surprise, but this way of playing is also very risky, after all, a long time of double the road, consumed, is the soldier's physical strength and energy, the whole army is exhausted, once encountered the opponent ambush who recuperates and recuperates, and waits for work, defeat is doomed, and even the whole army is likely to be destroyed.
Therefore, Yanghu did not stay in Jiexiu City, waiting for Sun Li to attack, he needed to take the initiative to attack, set up an ambush halfway, and hit Sun Li by surprise, taking advantage of your illness, to kill you.
Yanghu and Sun Li's choice coincided completely, Sun Li thought that if he wanted to take Jiexiu, he must first take the spirit stone, so he drove all the way and stopped when he arrived at the spirit stone. And Yanghu also set the spirit stone as the most ideal place for an ambush, and took the lead in setting up an ambush in the spirit stone, just waiting for Sima Jun to drill into the pocket array.
So the two sides really bumped into each other by a ghost, but Yanghu's appetite was a little big, this time he handed over Jiexiu's defense to the garrison soldiers, and the infantry battalion was dispatched by the whole army, and they were all pulled by Yanghu to fight this ambush battle.
However, despite this, the infantry battalion was only 10,000 men, and the enemy they faced was a full 30,000 people, and 10,000 people wanted to encircle and annihilate 30,000 people, which was somewhat of a fool's dream.
Although the infantry battalion is only one-third of Sima Jun's, the infantry battalion has already entered the ambush point, waiting for work, recuperating and recuperating, full of fighting spirit, high morale, and extremely strong desire to win, and under the deployment of Yanghu, the tactics are clear, the goals are clear, and the preparations are quite sufficient.
Relatively speaking, although Sima Jun has the advantage in numbers, but the long-distance rapid march has made Sima Bing as tired as a dog, just arrived at the destination, he was already tired and paralyzed, such a tired army, what kind of combat effectiveness can it have, I am afraid that even Sun Li himself has no bottom in his heart.
What's more, Sun Li didn't expect that the Bingzhou army would come out of the city and go thirty miles away to ambush him, whether he was calculating or not, in this case, the number of troops is no longer the factor that determines the outcome of the victory.
Yanghu ambushed on the east mountain, climbed high and overlooked, the entire Lingshi was unobstructed, Sima Jun rushed all the way, rushed to the Lingshi Pass, Yanghu was not in a hurry to move, he calmly observed the formation of the Sima Army, the Sima Army at this moment, where is there any formation at all, countless soldiers fell to rest, Hulala lay down a large area, the formation was scattered, and even the minimum vigilance was not set up on the periphery, what is the difference between such an army and the rabble.
Yanghu didn't look down on Sima Jun's combat effectiveness, but the long-distance rapid march, even the iron man has a time to be tired, not to mention that these people are ordinary flesh and blood, and they have been exhausted for many days of long-distance galloping, maybe their usual combat effectiveness is quite strong, but at this moment, they have completely become a waste.
Such a great opportunity, if not attack now, when will it wait?
Seeing this opportunity, Yang Hu ordered all the Bingzhou troops in Dongshan to attack and kill the position of Sima's army.
The Bingzhou army that was ambushed on the east mountain of Lingshi was a little impatient waiting for the moment of attack, and they all held a fire in their hearts, waiting for Yanghu's order.
Sure enough, Yanghu did not lose the expectations of the soldiers, and took advantage of the opportunity when Sima Jun's foothold was not stable, and with an order, all the people and horses were like tigers out of the forest, roaring, and rushed towards the bottom of the mountain in one breath.
The Bingzhou Army is the team brought out by Cao Liang, this infantry battalion is the head of the infantry among the five schools of the Northern Army, since following Cao Liang to set foot in the Bingzhou, experienced in a hundred battles, I don't know how many battles have been fought, they are completely impeccable in terms of fighting will, even if they face an enemy several times their own, they are also high-spirited, and there is no idea of cowardice at all.
In terms of combat effectiveness, the infantry battalion is known as the elite division, and the important task of attacking and defending the city by the previous state army was almost completed by the infantry battalion, this time Cao Liang arranged the infantry battalion on the front line against the Sima army, not only did they not have the slightest fear, but also had an extremely strong desire to fight, and they had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.
At this moment the infantry battalion was given the order to attack, and although they charged extremely violently, they maintained a good formation, organized and well-formed.
The first echelon of the charge was naturally the pikemen who were clad in sharp cloaks, the sword and shield soldiers who were behind them, and the long-range attack arms archers and crossbowmen in the back.
Although the crossbowmen were the last, their attack was the first, and after they were killed from the ambush point, they soon came to the place where Sima Jun was a stone's throw away, and without saying a word, the crossbowmen immediately discharged the formation, and the arrows flew together, crossed over the heads of the pikemen and sword and shield soldiers, and landed on the position of the Sima army like raindrops.
As soon as the ambush came out, Sima Jun's position was already in chaos, and many Sima soldiers who were originally resting on the ground had to drag their tired and weak bodies to get up, like headless flies, to find their own team and position.
But in such a chaotic situation now, Sima Jun could not organize effective defensive means to block the impact of the Bingzhou army no matter what.
