Chapter 380: The Battle of the Street Pavilion (9)

The plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements has long been formed in Sima Wang's mind, from the first siege of Tushan, a full ten days have passed, the Wei army has paid a great price of casualties, but has never been able to take the Jieting Tushan, which has always been full of ambition Sima Wang is also a little discouraged and disappointed.

Although he also knew very well that it was difficult to fight a tough battle, especially with the Shu army, which was the best at mountain warfare, it was indeed very difficult to take Tushan. For the Shu general Fu Yan, as a former opponent, Sima Wang also knows very well, and during the Battle of the Great Wall, Fu Yan's tenacity and bravery left a deep impression on Sima Wang.

It's definitely a tough opponent. This is Sima Wang's comment to Fu Yan. Maybe when he first arrived at the street pavilion, Sima Wang also ridiculed Liu Yin's unwisdom and Fu Yan's unscrupulousness, but the facts undoubtedly slapped Sima Wang's face with a heavy slap, and now it seems that the Shu army that solved the drinking water problem undoubtedly chose the most correct defensive strategy.

Sima Wang believed that if the Shu army was just standing in the village to defend the abandoned city of Jieting, with the strength advantage of the Wei army, he did not dare to say that it would be easy, but at least it would take ten days to conquer the Jieting without any pressure, because from the frontal attack, the surprise advantage of the Wei cavalry could be revealed, and even if the Shu army was tenacious, in the face of absolute strength, it would only be crushed.

And now the Shu army is stationed on the earth mountain, defending with danger, and the advantages of the Wei army cannot be brought into play at all, which makes Sima Wang have a feeling that he can't use his strength.

The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became for the Wei army, not only the defenders on the mountain became more and more tenacious, the attacking Wei army became more and more discouraged the more they fought, and more importantly, Sima Wang did not believe that Liu Yin would ignore the siege of the street pavilion. He'll definitely send reinforcements to the rescue.

According to the details of the spy news, the Xiqiang war has ended, and Yang Xin, the Taishou of Jincheng, who had been pinned on by Sima Wang, was finally disemboweled, and died a miserable death, while Liu Yin quelled the rebellion in Xiqiang with a resolute speed, and is currently returning to Tianshui.

The plan seemed so flawless. Sima Wang marched from the eastern front, Yang Xin stirred up the Qiang rebellion, harassing the rear of Longyou, no matter what the famous generals encountered the dilemma of attacking from both sides, it was rare to have a perfect strategy, Sima Wang believed that solving the problem of Longyou was just a gesture.

But what Sima Wang didn't expect was that the street pavilion that he attacked with all his might was not taken, and Liu Yin only had half a month to put down the Qiang rebellion. The chess piece he laid on Longyou was finally destroyed.

At the same time of success and failure, Sima Wang couldn't help but have a sense of crisis.

Before the Western Expedition, even when he had just arrived at the Street Pavilion, Sima Wang had not faced Liu Yin's opponent in the slightest, in his opinion, under the sweep of the 100,000 army, Liu Yin or Fu Yan. It will soon be gone, even if there is no nuisance from the Qiang people. It is also easy for him to take Longxi.

But after the street pavilion was blocked, Sima Wang finally put away his arrogant posture and re-examined these familiar and unfamiliar opponents.

Since Liu Yin has returned to Tianshui, I believe that it will not take a few days to rush to the rescue of Jieting, even if the Wei army has an advantage in terms of strength. But it was always uncomfortable to be attacked by the enemy, and Sima Wang would definitely try his best to avoid such a thing.

Su Yu, who joined the army, admonished: "Since the Shu people will definitely send troops to save the Jieting, why don't the governors attack what they must save, and place the cavalry to the west of the Jieting to block the enemy who comes to help." If the reinforcements are broken, Fu Yan will inevitably be frightened, and the earth mountain will be broken without attacking. ”

Sima Wang was overjoyed and thought so, and immediately sent Tang Bin to lead 20,000 troops to ride west out of the street pavilion, and set up defenses in the plain area west of Longshan, waiting for an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Shu army that came to the aid of the street pavilion.

Sima Wang's request was simple and clear, that is, he asked Tang Bin to block the Shu army reinforcements from Tianshui at all costs, and wait for an opportunity to annihilate the enemy. Sima Wang still has enough confidence in his cavalry, among the Three Kingdoms, Wu is stronger than the navy, the Shu army is good at foot, and the main trump card of Wei is the cavalry, Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry, which is famous in the world, invincible, invincible, sweeping the world, no one can save its edge. Although the cavalry led by Sima Wang is now a little inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry, compared to the miscellaneous cavalry units of the Shu army, Sima Wang has every reason to believe that in the plains, the cavalry of the Wei State will be invincible.

Tang Bin commanded the infantry to attack Tushan for many days, but found nothing, so that he was also extremely depressed, at this time Sima Wang ordered him to lead the cavalry to fight, Tang Bin suddenly felt like a fish in water, as soon as he stepped on the war horse, Tang Bin's self-confidence was regained, and he led 20,000 horsemen to whistling through the street pavilion and went to the west of Longshan.

Like Liu Yin's vision, Tang Bin also fell in love with the Pingchuan area east of Dishui Cliff at a glance, which was wide and flat, which was the place where the cavalry used their weapons, so Tang Bin also set up camp in Pingchuan east of Dishui Cliff and closely watched the movement in the direction of Tianshui.

The news of the Shu army's departure from Jicheng soon reached Tang Bin's ears, when he heard that the Shu army's reinforcements were 20,000 mixed troops, Tang Bin's face appeared with a contemptuous smile, the cavalry of the Shu army he had seen before, but it was just a group of raw melons and eggs who had just learned to ride horses, pure rabble, and they were not vulnerable at all.

Although the total strength of the two sides is equal, but 20,000 cavalry against 20,000 mixed cavalry, Tang Bin feels that there is almost no suspense in such a battle, with the consistent record of the Wei cavalry, this victory will be crushing.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" When he heard that the Shu army had arrived at Dishui Cliff, Tang Bin, who was eating, suddenly stood up and ordered loudly, at this moment, Tang Bin's awe-inspiring murderous aura was completely lacking in his usual gentle and elegant Confucian style.

Tang Bin knew that Sima Wang entrusted him with this most important task, and it was out of trust in him that he naturally couldn't live up to this trust. Tang Bin is even more ambitious, since the western expedition, as a pioneer officer, he has not really shown himself, and this battle will be the most colorful stroke on his meritorious book, can he immediately be crowned marquis, wife and son, I really count on this battle.

The cavalry of the Wei army quickly completed the assembly, and drove towards the direction of the Dishui Cliff, the golden iron horse, swallowed like a tiger, the dust and smoke raised all the way, covering the sky and the sun, and the rapid sound of horses' hooves, completely disturbed the tranquility of this land.
