Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Sima Yi racked his brains, but he couldn't figure out what "gunpowder" was. (can be found)
This kind of thing that transcends the times has completely exceeded the thinking ability of Sima Yi and these Jin officials.
Not only Sima Yi, but everyone in the world could have imagined that a mere powder could burst out with such great power, that it could even break through the Huguan city wall penetrated by huge rocks.
The ministers of Jin State were completely in panic and confusion.
The fall of Huguan meant that the Chu army could cross the natural danger of Shangdang and easily enter the Bingzhou Basin. An army of more than 100,000 people could easily fight towards Jinyang.
If Sima Yi wants to stop the Chu army, he will inevitably divide his troops. However, with his current strength, how can he withstand Yan Liang's absolutely superior strength after losing the danger of Shangdang.
Furthermore, if Jiexiu's troops are divided into smaller groups, the pressure from the enemy's south will be doubled.
As a result, Sima Yi was in danger of being unable to take care of both ends and losing both fronts.
But if you don¡¯t divide your troops to rescue, can you still sit back and watch the Chu army enter Taiyuan County and surround Jinyang?
If this is true, then the entire Jin Kingdom is not far from complete collapse, and there is no need to fight this battle. Sima Yi will undoubtedly lose.
"No, we must not let Yan Liang enter the plains, and surround Jinyang with troops, we must not!"
But, how to stop the Chu thieves?
Sima Yi¡¯s face was as gloomy as iron, and his expression changed uncertainly. He lost his sense of proportion for a moment and didn¡¯t know how to respond.
"Even if the Yan thief breaks through the Hu Pass, it won't matter. If someone comes out, he can stop the Yan thief in the south of Jinyang." At the bottom of the steps, a man stood up and said with enthusiasm.
Sima Yi raised his eyes and glanced around, only to see the man making bold statements. It was King Kebineng of Wei.
At this time, Jia Kui's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Taihang Mountains are dangerous and the cavalry has no place to use them. The army of the Chu thieves approaching Jinyang must be mostly infantry. If the King of Wei can lead his Xianbei cavalry forward, If you go, you may not be able to defeat the Chu army."
"Prime Minister Jia is absolutely right. This is exactly what I mean." Ke Bi Neng said confidently.
The words of these two men cheered up Sima Yi, and he suddenly seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
If facing the enemy head-on, Chu will not only have more troops but also more generals. Moreover, the number of cavalry alone was greater than that of his Jin army.
But the enemy approaching from Shangdang did not have many cavalry due to terrain reasons.
If Kebi could use his troops properly, it would not be unimaginable to defeat ten times the Chu infantry with 10,000 cavalry.
To take a step back, even if Kebi could not repel the Chu army. They can also rely on the mobility of the cavalry to constantly harass the Chu army, preventing them from advancing smoothly.
As long as Ke Bineng can delay the Chu army for a few months, it will rain heavily. The roads in Taihang were not smooth. Even if Yan Liang captured Huguan, he would still have to withdraw his troops.
After weighing it for a while, Sima Yi thought more and more that this was the case. His gloomy face gradually regained its calmness and confidence.
"As of now, that's all." Sima Yi took a long breath, but solemnly said: "Although the Chu army only has infantry, the Yan thieves have many tricks in their tactics. Aiqing must be careful and don't attack rashly. , so as not to fall into his ambush plan.¡±
After a pause, Sima Yi warned again: "Also, there is a kind of Yuanrong repeating crossbow in the Chu army. It can shoot ten arrows in an instant. It is extremely powerful. It is a weapon to restrain the cavalry. You must be careful and guard against it."
Sima Yi was deeply afraid of Yan Liang. He analyzed Yan Liang's military tactics and the Chu army's equipment very thoroughly. At this time, he poured out all his knowledge to teach Ke Bi Neng a perfect strategy.
Although Ke Bineng was confident, he was not confident enough to look down on Yan Liang. He listened carefully to Sima Yi's reminder and kept it firmly in his heart.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I have taken your Majesty's advice to heart, and that Yan thief will never take advantage." Ke Bineng said solemnly.
Sima Yi felt relieved and ordered the royal wine to be brought. He personally poured a cup and offered it to Ke Bineng.
"Aiqing, the safety of my country, the Jin Kingdom, is entirely in your hands, Aiqing. I offer this wine to you and wish you success." Sima Yi raised a toast to each other.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I leave, I will let Yan Liang taste the power of my Xianbei cavalry." Ke Bi Neng said boldly, raised his glass and drank it all.
After finishing a glass of wine, Kebi Neng took the command arrow and immediately led 10,000 Xianbei Qingqi to leave Jiexiu and traveled northward at starry night to Jinyang.
¡¡
A hundred miles away, twenty miles south of Yangyi City.
"Your Majesty, twenty people aheadThere is the city of Yangyi. The scouts have found out that only Jin general Wang Ji is stationed in the city with five thousand soldiers and horses. "
When Yan Liang heard this information, his spirits were lifted, and he raised his whip and said: "The whole army is speeding up. We must capture Yangyi City for me before the reinforcements of the Jin army arrive."
Yangyi is the farthest city in the southeast of Taiyuan County, and it is also the last barrier in the southeast of Jinyang City. As long as this city is captured, Yan Liang will lead his army into the Bingzhong Basin, and more than 100,000 troops will directly attack Jinyang City.
"Your Majesty, that Sima Yi is a cunning man. I don't think he will easily allow us to invade Jinyang." Xu Shu, who was riding with him, said worriedly.
Yan Liang could tell that there was something in his words, so he asked, "If Yuan Zhi is worried about anything, just tell him."
Xu Shu did not mince words, and said bluntly: "If Sima Yi simply divided his troops to the east, he would end up unable to take care of both ends, and the east and west routes would completely collapse. Then Sima Yi is extremely cunning, and I doubt he would make such a move."
"Well, what Yuan Zhi said makes sense. Sima Yi has many tricks. We can despise him strategically, but not tactically." Yan Liang nodded slightly, "Then according to Yuan Zhi's opinion, how will Sima Yi respond?"
"This time our army crossed the Taihang Mountains and rushed to Jinyang. All the troops were infantry. Not only were there very few cavalry, they didn't even carry many crossbows. I think that Sima Yi must be able to see the shortcomings of our army and will probably take advantage of it. The cavalry came to stop us."
Xu Shu expressed his guess, and his guess was immediately recognized by Yan Liang.
Yan Liang¡¯s eyebrows narrowed slightly, and he nodded and said: ¡°My army of **10,000 people is all infantry. If Sima Yi really sends cavalry here, it will be really difficult.¡±
"I think that if our army rests for a few days and waits for the rear army to cross the mountain road and send the light cavalry to the front line, it will not be too late to advance northward. At that time, the Jin army's cavalry will have nothing to fear. "Xu Shujian said.
"No!" Yan Liang shook his head and denied it on the spot, "The rain is getting heavier and heavier now. In less than a month, the Taihang Mountains will be muddy and difficult to navigate. Our army's food and grass supplies cannot keep up. Even the crossbows and light cavalry will be of no avail. , we must enter the Merger Basin within one month to support war with war."
"Fight to support war," Xu Shu's figure was shaken. His eyes moved slightly, and he understood Yan Liang's intention.
Sima Yi wanted to play a delaying war, but Yan Liang refused to retreat, so he had to rush into the Bingzhong Basin as soon as possible and collect grain and grass from Taiyuan County to solve the military fog on the spot.
Only in this way can we ensure that the army can still complete the siege of Jinyang despite poor logistics supplies.
"What your Majesty said is true, but our army has neither continuous crossbows nor light cavalry. It will not be easy to defeat the Jin army's cavalry." Xu Shu said worriedly.
Yan Liang pondered for a moment, but a sly smile flashed in his eyes, "Humph, if Sima Yi really dares to send cavalry, I will let him never come back!"
Yan Liang's self-confidence lifted Xu Shu's spirit, but he could not guess what Yan Liang's clever plan was to defeat the Jin cavalry without any weapons to defeat the enemy.
Yan Liang did not explain much and ordered the army to continue marching north.
At dusk, the scouts reported back. It turned out to be as Xu Shu suspected. Sima Yi really sent Ke Bineng and 10,000 cavalry to stop them.
The Xianbei cavalry rushed all the way, arrived at Yangyi first, and left the city to go to the stronghold, forming a horned force with the Jin army in the city.
After hearing the news of the arrival of the Xianbei cavalry, the Chu army generals suggested that they wait for the subsequent continuous crossbows and light cavalry to arrive before fighting the enemy again.
This is not because the generals are afraid of the Xianbei people, but because they are all famous generals who are proficient in the art of war. Of course, they will not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly at this time.
Yan Liang did not adopt their opinions, but ordered the three armies to eat well. Early the next morning, he gathered all his troops and continued to advance towards Yangyi City.
"This Yan thief dared to continue the attack even after seeing the arrival of my king's cavalry. He really overestimated his capabilities." In the military tent, Ke Bineng's words were full of ridicule.
"The Yan thief uses his troops deceitfully. If he dares to continue attacking, he must have something to rely on. We should be careful." Wang Ji reminded.
Of course, Ke Bineng could not forget Sima Yi¡¯s reminder, so he sent many teams of scouts to investigate the situation of the Chu army.
The intelligence sent back by the scouts was that the Chu army was neither equipped with a large number of crossbows nor cavalry to protect the flanks. The 10,000 people were completely relying on the advantage of their numbers to rush over.
"What a handsome thief, you think you dare to look down on my cavalry because you have so many people. Huh, this time, I will make you pay a heavy price for your self-confidence."
Ke Bineng was so arrogant that he immediately ordered all ten thousand cavalry to fight against Chu.?Fight to the death.
The king basically wanted to persuade him, but when he heard that there were no repeating crossbows in the Chu army and no cavalry to protect the flanks, he didn't know where to start.
He is well versed in the art of war, and he also knows that the enemy's situation is a great opportunity for cavalry to break it.
"Your Highness can go out to fight, but you must be careful not to fall into Yan Liang's trick of luring the enemy. If he is defeated, you can only pursue him briefly, but you must not pursue him too far." Wang Ji was worried that Yan Liang had an ambush plan, so before leaving, This persuaded Ke Bineng.
"Don't worry, General Wang. Your Majesty has already explained what you said, and I will never fall for his deception."
After Ke Bineng said this, Wang Ji was relieved and hurriedly returned to Yangyi City and climbed to the top of the city to watch the battle where cavalry defeated infantry.
In the afternoon, the Chu army's 80,000-strong army rolled across the wilderness like a black tide and approached Yeyi City.
Ke Bi Neng held a mace in his hand and stood proudly behind him. Behind him, ten thousand Xianbei cavalry stood like the Great Steel Wall behind him.
Looking at the Chu army that was slowly approaching and with weak flank defenses, Ke Bineng couldn't help but have a cold smile on his ferocious face. - Didn't finish reading?
