The end of the Sima army's disastrous defeat was irreversible. After the order to retreat across the board, the soldiers of each battalion and division retreated. Before the Bingzhou army could come, they had already trampled on each other and the scene was in chaos.

Hu Fen and Chen Qian also received a retreat order. Since they didn't know that Sima Shi was injured, they did not question the order at all. What's more, they could not gain any advantage when fighting with the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp. Instead, they suffered heavy losses under the impact of the Yueqi Camp and the Tunqi Camp.

Although the Sima army has an advantage in number and is not much different from the Bingzhou army in terms of equipment, there is a clear gap in combat power when fighting. Whether it is combat experience or combat ability, the Bingzhou cavalry is in a crushing position. Hu Fen and Chen Qian were originally confidently leading the army to attack, but when they fought, they were suppressed by the Bingzhou army everywhere, and the battle situation was one-sided, which made Hu Fen and Chen Qian feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Sima Army copied the equipment of the Bingzhou Army, and the imitation was ultimately imitation. Even if it was imitated, it was just a meme. After actually going to the battlefield, it was discovered that the gap was really a world of difference.

Their task is to block and cut off the rear, and to cover the evacuation of the main troops of Sima's division, so no matter how difficult the battle is, Hu Fen and Chen Qian have to grit their teeth and persevere.

At this moment, Hu Fen and Chen Qian were relieved and quickly ordered a retreat on the entire line.

They were the army that cut off the rear and blocked the attack. At this moment, they evacuated, so naturally no one could provide cover for them. The Bingzhou army took advantage of the victory and launched a large-scale cover, causing the Sima army to suffer greater losses.

Now it is no longer a question of whether to lose or not. The most important thing is whether the Bingzhou Army can highlight the numerous encirclements.

At this time, it was getting dark and night fell, but Sima Jun did not dare to stop for a moment and fled eastward frantically.

Zhong Hui knew that now the Bingzhou army is attacking multiple routes. If he continues to block multiple routes according to the original plan, most of the troops will be dragged on the battlefield, and the chances of these blocking troops will survive are very small, so he simply gave up the blocking and all the troops will retreat.

This is like a flock of sheep on the grassland. When the wolves attack, they cannot make any effective resistance. They can only escape desperately and eventually enter the wolf's belly. After all, most of the sheep in the flock still have the chance to escape from the wolf's claws.

The method Zhong Hui now uses is to cut off his tail and survive, to give up the small and protect the big one, and the Bingzhou army is a wolf, and they will eat sheep after all, so they simply let him eat it. Whoever is eaten can only be said to be unlucky, and the remaining lucky people can escape.

By dawn, most of the Sima army had fled to the Zhending area. Hu Fen, Chen Qian, Hu Lie and others had all retreated to Zhending and met with the main unit of the Sima army. However, the casualties of the various battalions were also extremely heavy. To roughly estimate, nearly half of the troops were lost.

Fortunately, the pursuit of the Bingzhou Army had stopped, and the Sima Army finally could take a breath at this time. The continuous battles made them exhausted.

Zhong Hui ordered the entire army to take a break in Zhending and temporarily reorganize the troops that lost more than half of the losses, so as to form combat effectiveness. Otherwise, there would be a lot of personnel in each battalion and division, and there would be no number but no soldiers. If they really fight again, it would be completely vulnerable.

Although Sima Jun's state may not have much combat power when integrated, it is always better than a piece of loose sand.

After Zhong Hui made arrangements, he reported the situation to Sima Shi.

At this time, Sima Shi had been settled in a carriage with a carriage. After taking herbs, the pain had been greatly relieved. However, even if Bian Que was reborn and Hua Tuo was reborn, Sima Shi could not be saved. The result of blindness was irreversible, and his life was destined to be spent in endless darkness.

Zhong Hui reported the withdrawal of the troops to Sima Shi and said, "General, this place is not a place for long-term stay. Bingzhou Army temporarily stopped retreating and would attack at any time. Our army should go south quickly and rush to Yangping to meet with the third prince. Only then will it be the best strategy."

Zhong Hui had mentioned this suggestion to Sima Shi before, and this time he mentioned it again, just to confirm that Sima Shi authorized Zhong Hui to temporarily take charge of military power, and Zhong Hui did not dare to make arbitrary claims. In general, Sima Shi had to make the decision.

Sima Shi didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Is it dawn?"

Zhong Hui was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Sima Shi was blind and could no longer see the light. He couldn't help feeling a little sad. In his impression, Sima Shi was considered a hero of the previous generation, with great talent and great talent and the resources of an emperor. Unexpectedly, he was blinded twice. Is it bad luck or a misfortune? Two accidents or fate was destined. In short, the ending is regrettable.

"It's already dawn, and it's the time for sunrise."

Sima Shi said lightly, "The red sun is rising, and it is a new day. Unfortunately, all this has nothing to do with someone. Shi Ji, I will give you military power to you, just want you to do it cheaply. After you confirm these plans, just implement them, and you don't need to ask someone for instructions."

Sima Shi's words were filled with endless bleakness and sadness. No matter how high he was in his past, he was completely defeated by reality. At this moment, his heart was as dead as a tree, and his thoughts were gone, and even he could not even raise any interest in military and national affairs.

Zhong Hui knew that Sima could not bear this blow for a while, and it was normal for him to be depressed. However, it is probably still unknown whether Sima, who was blind, could cheer up from now on, believing that this is still unknown. After all, he was a blind man from now on and could never see anything anymore. He was in charge of the world and did not have a pair of sharp eyes. How could he do it?

Zhong Hui did not disturb Sima too much. After all, Sima's knot was unable to be untied for the time being, so he could only wait until he returned to Luoyang before he could leniently resolve it. The most urgent task now is to withdraw troops.

The Bingzhou army has not pursued it now, which does not mean that they have given up on the pursuit. When the Bingzhou army is rested, they will definitely make a comeback and launch an attack on the Sima army again.

The Sima Army, which was 120,000, was lost nearly half, leaving only about 60,000 people. Such troops may no longer be able to withstand the torture. We must go south as soon as possible and evacuate to a safe area so that everything can be guaranteed.

Zhong Hui immediately ordered that the Sima army set off quickly and rushed to Yangping County, hoping to meet with Sima Yiqiang's army. As for the next move, we had to wait until Yangping before making a decision.
