"What? Tang Bin died in battle? The cavalry was defeated? Sima Wang's eyes widened in disbelief, forcing him to look at the messenger who came to deliver the message, "How is that possible?" Tang Bin had 20,000 horsemen, and he was defeated before the battle lasted two hours? ”

According to the news that came back before the war, Sima Wang already knew that the strength of the Shu army was about 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, and the 20,000 cavalry of the Wei army was used to deal with the 20,000 mixed infantry of the Shu army.

But in a blink of an eye, 20,000 cavalry were defeated, and even the main general Tang Bin was killed, this result shocked Sima Wang, and at the same time, a cold air penetrated his back from the front.

Tang Bin's defeat made the entire Wei army fall into great difficulty, losing the defense in the west of the street pavilion, Sima Wang had to face the front and rear attacks of the Shu army, this kind of belly and back to suffer the enemy's taste is absolutely uncomfortable.

"Why did Tang Bin lose so quickly? Could it be that the Shu people have other reinforcements? Sima Wang asked in a deep voice, he couldn't figure out why these 20,000 cavalry were defeated so quickly, you must know that these cavalry were the most elite force in the Wei army, experienced in a hundred battles, and had made countless great achievements, how could they win and lose so much?

Unless the Shu army has another powerful ambush army, it is impossible to easily break through this elite of their own.

The messenger shook his head and said: "The Shu people do not have any ambush soldiers, but their cavalry seems to be equipped with a special saddle and stirrup, so that the Shu soldiers can easily use bows and arrows on horses and hold guns with both hands. Heavy casualties. After entering the melee. It's still unmatched. General Tang Bin wanted to reverse the defeat by outflanking left and right, but he could not break the opponent's infantry spear array, and finally General Tang Bin was killed on the spot, and our army was defeated, and the entire cavalry battalion was broken and broken. ”

"Seven-eight-ten?" Sima Wang gasped, 20,000 people were lost, and at least 15,000 cavalry had to be lost, what is the difference between this and the annihilation of the entire army. Sima Wang may be able to bear the outcome of the defeat, but such a heavy loss makes him heartbroken. In the case of equal strength on both sides, the defeated side is at most a rout, and it is impossible to be completely annihilated, if you want to encircle and annihilate an army, it must be at least four or five times or even ten times the strength of the force, but the Shu army of 20,000 people, and 10,000 are slow infantry, how can it be possible to eat his 15,000 cavalry?

The messenger's expression was also a little gloomy, after all, so many dead Wei soldiers were also his robes. He choked up a little and said: "After the Shu soldiers are equipped with new horse harnesses, the speed is extremely fast. After the death of General Tang Bin, our army was defeated, and each army escaped, but the speed was not as fast as the Shu army, and it was often chased and killed, and the dead were very numerous, and only a few cavalry fled back to the street pavilion. ”

"Saddle? Stirrup? Sima Wang's eyes were distracted, and he muttered two things that were not too unfamiliar, what kind of saddle stirrups were equipped with in the Shu army, which produced such a magical power that turned decay into magic, and transformed an originally inconspicuous cavalry team into an invincible heroic division overnight.

"Metropolitan Governor, Liu Yin has broken our cavalry, and I believe that he will soon enter the street pavilion, and at that time he will be attacked by the enemy, and it will be difficult for our army to move." Su Yu, who joined the army, was deeply worried and said, "The top priority is to send another army out of the street pavilion to block Liu Yin." ”

Sima Wangshang was still groaning, and he heard the sentry horse hurriedly report: "Qiyu Dudu, more than 10,000 horsemen of the Shu army are out of Liucheng and attack the rear flank of our army east of Jieting. ”

It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, all the generals are shocked, the street pavilion has been repeatedly attacked, Tang Bin has been defeated in the Dishui Cliff again, and now the Shu army has come to outflank the back road of the Wei army, the situation of the Wei army is really taking a sharp turn, and the situation is pressing.

However, Sima Wang is still calm, the Shu army out of Liucheng did not surprise him, with the main force from the avenue into the street pavilion, in the column Liucheng out of the division to attack the enemy's flank, if in a different place, Sima Wang will also use the same tactics, the attack of 10,000 horses in Liucheng, Sima Wang did not care, sent a partial general to lead the troops to resist is, to break the main force of Liu Yin of Tang Bin's cavalry, so that Sima Wang has a headache, it is really not easy to fight.

Sima Wang immediately ordered the partial general Du Xiu to lead 10,000 troops to defend against the enemy attacking from Lieliucheng, but he was undecided who to send to the west of the street pavilion to defend against Liu Yin.

Hu Shikang came out and said, "The last general wishes!" ”

In Sima Wang's mind, Tang Bin is the general he values the most, because of this, he transferred Tang Bin to be a pioneer officer thousands of miles away, originally he also had high hopes for Tang Bin, and sent him to lead 20,000 cavalry to garrison the west of the street pavilion, but unfortunately Tang Bin not only became famous in a battle, but was a horse leather shroud, which made Sima Wang regret it, but also couldn't help but sigh that there was no one in the army to use it anymore. Hu Shiyong is brave, but there is some lack of strategy, Tang Bin is still defeated by Liu Yin, how can Hu Shi be Liu Yin's opponent?

Just when he hesitated, the sentry horse came back to report: "Qiyu Governor, Liu Yin sent Yao Yikang, the prince of Xiqiang, to lead 30,000 Qiang to ride east out of Guangwei and attack Chencang. ”

Sima Wang's cold and watery face was also distorted, and it was difficult to hide the panicked look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Really? Exact? ”

"How dare the little one panic report the military situation? The Shu army went east to Guangwei, and at this time it was less than a hundred miles away from Chencang. The scout said.

Sima Wang's eyes were solemn, and he raised his hand and waved away the scout. If the 10,000 Shu troops in Lieliucheng have not surprised Sima Wang, then the 30,000 Qiang cavalry of Chen Cang, who raided it, really shocked Sima Wang.

Generally speaking, the main attack direction must be the main force, and the detour to the flank is the partial division, but Liu Yin did the opposite, and the army attacking Jieting head-on and the army out of Liucheng added up to the number of troops attacking Chencang, which shows that Liu Yin's troops invested in the direction of Chencang are strong.

Chencang is the only way to enter the Guanzhong in the east, and it is also the place where Sima Wang's army of the west is stored. In other words, Liu Yin's hand was pinched on Sima Wang's life.

The generals looked at each other, the importance of Chen Cang is self-evident, and if Chen Cang is lost, the Wei army will lose its way out. But if you retreat at this moment, it will be a futile, or even a failure, and it will be even more difficult to get involved in Longyou.

"Governor, how should this be?" The generals had nothing to do, and their eyes were focused on Sima Wang's body.

Sima Wang took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Order!" Withdrawal! (To be continued.) )
