The Huainan Army guarded the border, and its main opponent was the Eastern Wu, and the Wu people were good at naval forces and weaker than infantry and cavalry. Therefore, the Huainan Army's troops were mainly infantry and cavalry as the auxiliary. The established troops were basically infantry, and the cavalry was only auxiliary troops and had no independent organization.

At this time, the army led by Hu Lie was basically mainly cavalry. The Yingshang area had a flat terrain, which was very beneficial to the cavalry's combat. What's more, the Huainan Army did not expect that there was a Sima Army cavalry ambushing the rear wing. So when they discovered the enemy attack, they had no time to organize a defensive formation. They were rushed to pieces by Hu Lie's cavalry, and the formation completely collapsed.

At this time, Zhuge Dan realized that this was obviously a premeditated action by Sima Lun. He deliberately acted like he was alone and went deep into the army to lure Zhuge Dan to attack. Judging from the current Sima Army's forces, there were 50,000 people, and there were obviously at least 100,000 people. Sima Lun deliberately hid 50,000 people, with the purpose of ambushing the Huainan Army in Yingshang area. Zhuge Dan had fallen into the trap of others since he left Shouchun.

Underestimating the enemy! Too underestimating the enemy! Zhuge Dan was simply regretful. He only thought that Sima Lun was just a stinky Huangkouzi, without any experience in fighting, and he could use Sima Lun's light troops to advance in this and annihilate him in one fell swoop.

But unexpectedly, Sima Lun deliberately made a fraud and deliberately revealed flaws, but he was more experienced and cruel than those old freakish guys on the battlefield. Just this trick of being foolish is Weimei and Weixiao. Zhuge Dan has been wandering on the battlefield for decades, but he has been deceived by him.

Sima Lun brought a total of 100,000 people, but he hid half of his men by using the means of concealing the world. Zhuge Dan still didn't understand what Sima Lun used to hide from the spy of the Huainan Army. The 50,000 army was not a small number. The Huainan Army's omnipresent eyes and eyeliners were not vegetarians, but they had not found any clues. If they had known earlier that Sima Lun brought a 100,000 army, Zhuge Dan would definitely not have taken the risk of ambushing.

In fact, Sima Lun did not send Hu Lie's people elsewhere and took different paths. After all, it would be impossible to hide his traces of 50,000 troops. When Sima Lun went to war, he falsely claimed that he had 50,000 troops, which gave people a preconceived illusion. Then, in terms of the number of flag camps and camps and even stoves, they were all given 50,000 people. After all, the Huainan Army sent spies and could not sneak into the Sima army's camp to count. They could only observe on the outside, or after the Sima army left, they went to the camp where they had set foot.

In fact, even Sima Jun himself could not tell the difference between 50,000 and 100,000 people. Along the way, there were people everywhere, and the dragon was no longer head and tail. It was like a person in a mountain. If you ask him how high the mountain is and how big it is, he would definitely not be able to answer it. So in the torrent of the army, no one could tell how many Sima Jun had. The 50,000 people were officially announced numbers, so naturally no one questioned it.

Sima Lun used this illusion to bring a 100,000 army to Ying. As for the more than a dozen floating bridges on the Ying River, Sima Lun deliberately built it, so that the Sima army could quickly pass back and forth on the Ying River. However, when the troops were withdrawn, Hu Lie's 50,000 troops had already left the large army and ambushed in the northeast of the Ying River. At this time, Zhuge Dan focused all his attention on Sima Lun's side, so naturally it was impossible to take into account that there was a Sima army ambush on the east bank of the Ying River.

Hu Lie's army was all out at this time, giving Zhuge Dan a fatal blow.

Yingshui divided the Huainan Army into two. Although the Huainan Army built several floating bridges, the traffic capacity of these floating bridges was limited and it was impossible to transport the Huainan Army to the other side in a short time.

The biggest problem now is that the Huainan army was attacked on both sides, and the situation was very critical. At this moment, the Huainan soldiers standing on the floating bridge were not sure whether to advance or retreat. They were at a loss, and they seemed to be right to advance, and they were not right to retreat, and they were struggling.

Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi were already leading their troops to resist, but the Sima army's cavalry was too fierce and they could not match them at all. They were killed by Hu Lie so much that they were terrible.

Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi were unable to resist and could only call Zhuge Dan for help. If Zhuge Dan did not send troops back to help, it would be difficult for them to support him.

Once the east bank of Ying River is lost, the entire Huainan army will be surrounded by the Sima army and will most likely be destroyed.

In fact, when Hu Lie led his army out, Zhuge Dan knew that his defeat was decided. He had previously ridiculed Sima Lun for his half-crossing attack as useless, but now he realized that this was an extremely vicious killer move. Sima Lun used his military strength to deploy 50,000 troops on both sides of the Ying River. When the Huainan Army was half-crossing, both ambushed soldiers were all out. The Huainan Army was blocked by Yingshui, and the troops on both sides could not take care of them. They were all under the attack of the Sima Army's heavy troops. The Huainan Army in the west was better. After all, they were prepared for combat. Although they were at a disadvantage, they could barely support them.

The Huainan Army on the east coast was different. Since they had no preparation in advance, they could only hurry to enter the battle. Moreover, the Sima Army invested more cavalry here, and the attack power was far stronger than that on the west coast. Therefore, the battle situation on the east coast was one-sided from the beginning. Although Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi fought hard, they were outnumbered and the situation of a crushing defeat was irreversible.

Zhuge Dan made careful preparations for this mutiny. It cannot be said that he was comprehensive, but it was quite sufficient. Zhuge Dan was confident that even if Sima Shi came in person, he might not be able to get any advantage in Huainan.

Sima Shi was not in the personal expedition, but sent the young Sima Lun to lead his troops. This made Zhuge Dan underestimate the enemy and did not take Sima Lun seriously. As expected, the arrogant soldiers would be defeated. Facing Sima Lun who was prepared, Zhuge Dan stepped into the trap of others in one step. How could he be invincible?

In the current situation, no matter how hard Zhuge Dan struggles, it will be useless. The defeat is determined and irreversible. All Zhuge Dan can do now is to reduce the loss to the minimum level, so he ordered a retreat on the whole line.
