Chapter 100 Sima's plan

Bingzhou.

Wang Ling leaned on the horse and gasped.

"How is this possible? Why is this happening?" Wang Ling was at a loss as he looked at the Bingzhou cavalry falling one by one.

In the past, the three major cavalry of the Han Dynasty, the Bingzhou cavalry was the most powerful. In the past, Dong Zhuo, the Liangzhou cavalry in front of Luoyang City, fought a draw with the 30,000 Bingzhou cavalry led by Lu Bu, which shows the strength of the Bingzhou cavalry.

Since Wang Ling took office as the governor of Bingzhou, his main energy was to train this group of Bingzhou cavalry. For the sake of these 30,000 cavalry, Wang Ling almost used up all his resources, from weapons and equipment to horses, Wang Ling had prepared them all. In Wang Ling's view, the cavalry under his command could definitely be called the first cavalry in the Central Plains, and even compared with the Hun cavalry, it was not inferior to the Huns.

But now, the Bingzhou cavalry was beaten to the point where Ma Qiu, the Liangzhou cavalry, was unable to fight back.

On horses, Bingzhou horses are slightly inferior. After all, Ma Qiu's horses were brought from Wusun. After breeding, although their descendants are not as good as their parents, they are also stronger than the war horses grown in Bingzhou.

There are also great differences between the two sides in terms of weapons and equipment. The Bingzhou cavalry still uses standard Han cavalry equipment, while the cavalry under Ma Qiu is more inclined to mix the Wusun and Han equipment.

But the biggest difference between the two sides is the cavalry's tactics.

In recent decades, there has been no large-scale cavalry unit. Wang Ling has very little combat experience in fighting cavalry. The tactics used by Wang Ling's Bingzhou cavalry are more of the tactics used against infantry.

Ma Qiu and Ma Dai were traversing the Wusun grasslands and were familiar with cavalry tactics. They naturally had their own choices to use cavalry to fight against cavalry. The Wusun people were not opponents of Ma Qiu's cavalry. Faced with these Bingzhou cavalry with insufficient cavalry tactics, Ma Qiu's Liangzhou cavalry was even more like a fish in water.

The battlefield changes rapidly, and the commander's on-site command accounts for a large part, not to mention that the cavalry's speed is already fast, which makes the speed of changes on the battlefield faster. This is a test for the commander's on-site response and experience.

Wang Ling did not expect that his elite Bingzhou cavalry were chased and beaten by the opponent and had no power to fight back.

"Why is this happening? Why is the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry that I have worked hard to build is so vulnerable! Could it be that the Han army is really powerful to this extent?"

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." The gun was thrown out and landed accurately into the crowd. The huge impact force driven by the horse when it was running could allow the gun to penetrate the knight and the horse.

"Transfer the order, the left wing interspersed, and continue to disrupt their formation..." As Ma Qiu gave the order, the battle flag was waving.

When the Han cavalry saw the battle flag, they responded as quickly as possible. The cavalry of Bingzhou on the opposite side had begun to gradually retreat.

"General, we can't hold on!"

Wang Ling was already sweating from his head, but there was no way to save the defeat.

...

The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.

Wang Ling never expected that this would happen if he led his troops back to Shangdang. He thought that with his 30,000 Bingzhou cavalry, he could successfully recapture Shangdang, but he did not expect that this would happen.

Originally, what Wang Ling was most worried about was that Ma Qiu refused to leave the city to fight. After all, siege was not the strength of the cavalry. When Ma Qiu led his troops out of the city, Wang Ling even laughed proudly, mocking Ma Qiu for being ignorant and arrogant in his youth.

Now it seems that the arrogant person is not Ma Qiu, but himself.

"No, I can't defeat. If I lose, Bingzhou will be gone!" Wang Ling shook his teeth viciously, and then suddenly pulled out his sword.

"Brothers, kill with me! Kill the enemy!"

Facing the desperate struggles of the Bingzhou cavalry, Ma Qiu was very calm. When he was in the Wusun Prairie, Ma Chao had faced them countless times, and the enemy fought to the death. Ma Qiu knew that the more this time, the more he could not lose his calmness.

"The central army penetrates westward, avoids the edge, and attacks the enemy's flanks."

...

The north wind blew, and the battle was coming to an end.

The Bingzhou cavalry was still struggling to resist, but the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, who had originally gathered together, had been transformed into groups by Ma Qiu's countless intertwined battles, and it was sooner or later that the entire army was wiped out.

There were only more than 300 people left by Wang Ling, and they were also surrounded. At this time, Wang Ling had already felt the danger, so Wang Ling led his men to attack left and right, hoping to break through, but he still couldn't succeed.

As time went by, Wang Ling and the three hundred people gradually arrived in vain.

Wang Ling gasped and looked at the dense Han cavalry around him, and a trace of despair rose in his heart.

The Han cavalry slowly dodged and walked out of the middle a young general. The young man was wearing silver armor, a lion's forehead helmet, and a big sword in his hand. Behind the young man, a big flag fluttered in the wind, and the words "Han Fuyuan General" on it were particularly clear.

"Are you Ma Qiu?" Wang Ling said with a glaring eyes.

"Wang Ling, stop resisting, surrender! You are already defeated." Ma Qiu seemed very calm, with no slight slight roar in his eyes. The look he looked at Wang Ling had a condescending smell, as if he was watching a dead person.

"Hmph..." Wang Ling snorted coldly. Ma Qiu's eyes made Wang Ling very upset. Wang Ling felt Ma Qiu's contempt.

"I, Wang Ling, have been deeply favored by Taizu, how can I surrender to you? Today, either you die or I die!"

"I'm obsessed with it!" Ma Qiu waved his hand: "Give it to me, no one left."

...

Under the cover of the Jiangdong Navy, Lu Xun crossed the Huai River again, and Sima Yi immediately led his troops to resist.

The two brothers Sima Shi and Sima Zhao did not flee back to Yecheng. Sima Zhao was still waiting for an opportunity to persuade Sima Yi to surrender to the Eastern Wu. However, Sima Yi's attitude towards whether to surrender to the Eastern Wu also changed from shaking his head to opposition to the current ambiguousness.

Sima Zhao was walking towards Sima Yi's tent, when suddenly, Sima Shi's voice sounded from behind.

"Second brother, wait a minute." Sima Zhao turned around and saw Sima Shi walking over quickly.

"Second brother, are you going to find your father again?" Sima Shi asked.

"What my brother said is that now that Lu Xun's army is approaching, if his father really resists to the end, I'm afraid that all of us, father and son, will not escape this disaster!" Sima Zhao said with a worried look on his face.

"Hahaha..." Sima Shi laughed instead.

"Brother, why are you laughing? I'm almost in a hurry, you're still laughing."

"Second brother, you have been with my father for a short time and don't fully understand him. What you think of, my father must have thought of, but it seems that my father hasn't decided yet." Sima Shi said slowly.

"I haven't decided yet? But if we continue to fight like this, will we offend all the people of the Eastern Wu? There are more than a dozen generals of the Eastern Wu who died in the hands of my father in the past two days. If we kill all the generals of the Eastern Wu and surrender, we will not have any good results!"

"Second brother, you are too worried. If we kill all the generals of the Eastern Wu and surrender, it would be great. If Sun Deng has no one to be available, we will have to use our father. Besides, if we do not stand and surrender, we will be looked down upon by others. It would be better to fight first, so that the generals of the Eastern Wu know our strength and Sun Deng know that our father's strength will be valued."

"But that way, wouldn't we offend Lu Xun? Lu Xun and Gu Yong, with their gangs and gangs all over the Yangtze River. If we offend them, wouldn't we be unable to surrender?"

"Haha, it's only a matter of time before offending Lu Xun." Another voice sounded from the two of them. When they saw that Sima Yi slowly walked over.

"Father……"

Sima Yi nodded slightly, looked at the left and right, then leaned over and whispered: "Lu Xun and Gu Yong are indeed in the court and the country, but this is a suspicion of being too powerful to shock the master. The only one who can compete with the two in the Eastern Wu Dynasty was Zhuge Jin, but Zhuge Jin was quite sleek, so he would not conflict with the two head-on. Lu Xun and Gu Yong lost their control and entered Wu for their father. If they want to be valued by Master Wu, they must act in a stance of inconsistent with Lu Xun and Gu Yong in order to gain the trust of Master Wu."

"Father, are you going to join Wu?" Sima Zhao asked.

"If others know about it, it will definitely affect the morale of the army. Your elder brother said it right, but now Lu Xun has made great contributions to shock the master, but no one in the Eastern Wu dynasty can compete with him. If you are a father, you cannot be with Lu Xun in terms of emotion or reason."

"Then father, when will we..." Sima Shi asked.

"Ziyuan, you go back to Yecheng immediately and pick up the clan's family."

"Yes." Sima Shi nodded.

"My son, I have a very important task. Do you dare to go?" Sima Yi asked Sima Zhao.

"Father, you said that no matter what, the child will do his best." Sima Zhao answered immediately.

"Okay, son, there is a eunuch named Huang Hao next to Sun Deng, who is deeply favored by Sun Deng. Although it cannot be said that Sun Deng obeys his words, if you want to get close to Sun Deng, it is essential to start with Huang Hao. Moreover, I have already found out that Huang Hao is very greedy for money, so I have prepared a lot of gold, silver and jewelry for my father. I want you to go to Shouchun and take these gold, silver and jewelry for my father, and see Sun Deng through Huang Hao."

"I understand." Sima Zhao nodded.

"Zi, you must be careful when going here. It doesn't matter whether things can succeed or not, but you must ensure your own safety. Do you know?"

After hearing Sima Yi's words, Sima Zhao's eyes wet: "Don't worry, father, I will fulfill my mission."

...

Huang Hao lived a very comfortable life. In the palace, all matters were decided by Huang Hao, from the emperor's daily life to the procurement of materials in the palace; from the arrangement of miscellaneous matters of the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, they were all managed by Huang Hao. Among them, Huang Hao received a lot of benefits and gained a lot of money.
