After returning to Tianshui, the first thing Liu Yin did was to assemble the army, and now the troops in Liu Yin's hands are not the same as when he first arrived in Longxi, 10,000 cavalry from the left battalion of the tiger cavalry and the right battalion of the tiger cavalry, 5,000 cavalry from the newly formed Qiang battalion, 10,000 people from the Yong'an battalion stationed in Tianshui and the Baidi battalion stationed in Liucheng, and 5,000 people from the counties and counties of Longyou can mobilize 5,000 people, plus 30,000 Qiang cavalry led by Yao Yikang, excluding the 20,000 horses led by Fu Yi, the strength that can be put into the counterattack alone has reached 60,000.

Fu Yan dragged the 100,000 troops of the Wei army in the street pavilion with 20,000 people, and did not allow an inch to advance, creating enough time for Liu Yin to fight this counterattack, and Liu Yin was still full of confidence.

Liu Yin summoned the generals in Tianshui to discuss the matter, and quickly determined the counterattack plan.

With the left battalion of the tiger cavalry, the right battalion of the tiger cavalry, the Yong'an battalion and the Qiang battalion as the middle road, led by Liu Yin himself, supplemented by Huang Chong, from the front to help the street pavilion; With the soldiers of the counties of Longyou as the left road, led by Liu Chen, the king of Beidi, the Taishou of Longxi, and the king of Tianshui, they joined the White Emperor camp in Liucheng, went out of Liucheng, and outflanked the right flank of the Wei army; With Yao Yikang's 30,000 Qiang cavalry, the troops went out of Guangwei and outflanked the left flank of the Wei army in a roundabout way.

As soon as the military order was given, all the armies immediately went into action and went their own way according to the plan.

This time Liu Yin's expedition to the west, Deng Ai did not accompany him, but stayed in Tianshui, this time to enter the street pavilion, Liu Yin naturally could not miss this first think tank, the day of the army, specially recruited Deng Ai to the army.

"What is the opinion of the gentleman in this battle of the street pavilion?" Liu Yin first consulted Deng Ai.

Deng Ai said in a deep voice: "Sima Wang is the general of Wei, who is well versed in the art of war and has a strategy. Don't take it lightly. Now on the positive side, the Wei army failed to storm the street pavilion. The army is tired. And the Wei army relied on nothing more than cavalry, if the lord could break his cavalry army in one battle, he could lay the chance for victory in one fell swoop. It's just that I think that the lord only rushed to the front of the street pavilion with 20,000 people, and it seems that the army is slightly weak. ”

When it comes to Sima Wang, nothing knows him better than Deng Ai, when Sima Wang was the governor of Yongliang, the general of the expedition to the west. Deng Ai is General Anxi, a direct subordinate of Sima Wang, Sima Wang has been in Yongliang for eight years, and his achievements are remarkable, both in terms of political and military achievements. The Wei army's specialty, Deng Ai is naturally quite familiar, the Wei army's cavalry has always been the Wei army's biggest reliance, attacking the street pavilion, the cavalry is naturally not strong, but this time Liu Yin rescued the street pavilion. It is bound to be impossible to escape the contest with the Wei cavalry, and the only way to defeat the Wei cavalry is to break it. in order to see the hope of victory.

Now Liu Yin is only 20,000 cavalry ready to face off with the Wei army, Deng Ai is still faintly worried, although now the Shu army is equipped with a high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups, and the combat effectiveness is much higher than before, but the disadvantage in the army makes Deng Ai still a little uneasy, after all, this is a contest related to the overall situation of the entire Longyou, and any negligence may lead to the loss of the decisive battle.

Liu Yin smiled slightly, Deng Ai did not accompany him to the Xiqiang expedition this time, naturally he did not see the power of the equipment of the Gaoqiao saddle and bilateral stirrups, and the Xiqiang cavalry, who were good at horsemanship, became vulnerable in front of the Shu army, not to mention the Wei cavalry, Liu Yin was full of confidence in this battle in Jieting. If he expected to be true, Sima Wang would definitely use cavalry to fight a blocking battle in the west of Jieting, as long as the cavalry of the Wei army was completely destroyed in the first battle, the victory of Jieting would be within reach.

At this point, Liu Yin and Deng Ai have a consensus, no matter what the situation, the Wei cavalry is a barrier that must be crossed in front of them, and only by breaking the Wei cavalry can they win the battle.

From Jicheng to the east, the distance from Jieting is three or four hundred miles, if the Shu army is all cavalry, at most one day can rush to Jieting, but now the infantry and cavalry are mixed, and the tiger cavalry battalion has to lower the speed in order to take care of the marching speed of the Yong'an battalion and the Qiang barracks.

Although the battle situation in the street pavilion is tense, but Liu Yin did not dare to have the slightest paralysis, he knew that Sima Wang was good at using soldiers, such a long-distance attack is the best opportunity for Wei soldiers to sneak attack, a careless, all the games are lost, Liu Yin ordered the army to fight the spirit of twelve points, although the march during the day is hard, but the night guard is not allowed to be lax at all, every night to camp and set up a village, will be a strong camp and a strong village, widely send rangers to patrol the sentry, beware of the night sneak attack of the Wei soldiers.

Rao is like this, the vanguard of the Shu army still arrived at Dishui Cliff on the fourth day. The Dishui Cliff is only more than 30 miles away from the Street Pavilion, and when you climb to the top of the Dishui Cliff, the whole Longshan is clearly visible, and even the earth mountain of the Street Pavilion can be seen faintly.

From the dripping cliff to the street pavilion, it is almost a flat land, and there are no ups and downs on the road of thirty miles, and it is a vast and boundless scene.

"It's a place where cavalry combat could not be more ideal." Liu Yin climbed high and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but sigh. He immediately ordered the reconnaissance range of the scout sentry to be extended to a distance of ten miles, and to pay close attention to the movements of the Wei army.

Now Sima Wang's siege of the street pavilion can not succeed, although he can not bypass the street pavilion and attack Longyou, but he is unimpeded inside and outside the street pavilion, Longyou Shu army to help, this will make Sima Wang fall into the belly and back of the enemy's situation, so that the Shu army can easily converge in one place, this is by no means what Sima Wang wants to see, he will definitely find a way to guard the street pavilion Tushan Fu Department and the reinforcements from Tianshui to isolate them, do not let them converge.

In order to achieve this goal, Sima Wang had to move the overall defensive front of the Wei army forward, that is, to order a part of the Wei army to go out of the street pavilion and build a defense line west of the street pavilion, that is, the most common tactic used by the soldiers, that is, to besiege the enemy in the stronghold with a part of the troops, and the other part of the troops to take on the task of sending reinforcements, both inside and outside, and take care of both internal and external, both prongedly.

Therefore, after Liu Yin arrived at Dishui Cliff, he did not rush to march again, but sent scout sentry cavalry to detect the movements of the Wei army in preparation for countermeasures.

If Sima Wang moves the defense line forward, then the Dishui Cliff is the place where the two sides will fight a decisive battle, if Sima Wang still besieges the Jieting Tushan with heavy troops, Liu Yin will definitely go straight to the Jieting.

Sure enough, as Liu Yin expected, the scouts reported that ten miles ahead, they found a large number of Wei cavalry, which were rushing towards the Dishui Cliff, thousands of horses, menacing.

A sharp cold light flashed in Liu Yin's eyes, and he calmly gave the order to fight. (To be continued.) )
