With these personal soldiers to maintain order, the Huainan Army's crossing the river became smoother. Otherwise, so many people would rush up the floating bridge in a mess and push left and right, which not only seriously affected the speed of traffic, but also easily caused the collapse of the floating bridge. The collapse of the previous two floating bridges was caused by the disorder of the evacuation of the Huainan Army.

There can be no more problems with these two remaining floating bridges. If they all collapse, the Huainan army on the west bank will not even have the hope of breaking through.

The situation is getting more and more urgent. Many Huainan soldiers who are a little water-oriented simply jump into the water, grab a piece of wood, and swim across the river, which is better than staying on the west bank and being slaughtered.

The most tragic thing is the Huainan soldiers who are lined up behind the team who do not understand the nature of water. The Sima army's pursuit is getting more and more fierce, so they will not give the Huainan soldiers a chance to cross the river and launch fierce charges one after another. The Huainan army has completely lost the courage to persist in fighting and is defeated. The entire West Bank battlefield has completely shown a one-sided state.

The situation on the east coast has improved slightly now. Although the Huainan army on the east coast was defeated by Hu Lie's cavalry in the initial battle, with Zhuge Dan leading the return of the West Coast army, a large number of Huainan army joined the melee, and the situation on the east coast was relatively much better than that on the west coast.

But even better, it cannot save the fate of failure. On the battlefield, the Sima army is still the one who takes the initiative. They continue to launch attacks and continue to erode the will of the Huainan army to resist. Once the Sima army on the east and west sides are united, it will surely be the end of the Huainan army and they will have no way to escape.

Zhuge Dan knew that the defeat was decided. If he continued to entangle, it would only cause more losses to the Huainan army, so he had to order a full retreat so that he could minimize casualties.

However, no matter how urgent the retreat is, the Sima army on the West Bank must be cut off from joining the pursuit. Otherwise, Hu Lie's cavalry alone will be difficult to deal with. In addition, Sima Lun's army will be even worse.

At this time, the withdrawal of troops on the west bank was almost done. In fact, there were not many people passing through the pontoon bridge. Most of the last remaining troops on the west bank had been swept by the Sima army. The Sima army began to attack towards the ferry, trying to seize these two remaining pontoon bridges.

Hu Lie also cooperated with the Sima army on the West Bank to carry out operations and put forward a large-scale pressure, hoping to seize and control the two floating bridges.

Once these two floating bridges change hands, the Sima army on the west bank can attack the east bank again along the floating bridge. The Huainan army is attacked from both sides, and this battle will be even more impossible.

Zhuge Dan immediately ordered that all the personal guards guarding the bridge should immediately evacuate. After evacuating to the east coast, they would immediately destroy the two floating bridges and would never allow Sima's army to make use of them.

The personal guards followed the orders and soon they retreated to the pontoon bridge and rushed towards the east coast.

The Huainan soldiers who were blocked near the ferry saw no one guarding the pontoon bridge, so they rushed to the pontoon bridge. Although they knew that if the pontoon bridge was overweight, it would be a risk of breaking, but in the current situation, who would still care about these things? Escape is important!

The Huainan soldiers fled to the floating bridge, and the Sima army behind them pursued them relentlessly and followed the Huainan soldiers to the floating bridge. If the Huainan soldiers on the bridge were placed across the bridge, the Sima army that followed would take the opportunity to seize control of the floating bridge.

Zhuge Dan immediately ordered the personal guards to cut off the ropes of the floating bridge immediately. As soon as the floating bridge was broken, everyone on the bridge fell into the water, including the Huainan Bing and the Sima Bing, no exception.

At this time, there is no way to be a woman's kindness. If he hesitates a little, he will be rushed over by the Sima army. Once the floating bridge is lost, the Sima army on the west bank can continue to flow across the east bank, causing greater damage to the Huainan army.

Now that the two remaining floating bridges have been destroyed, the Sima army wants to cross the river, they must build another floating bridge. However, building a floating bridge is a technical job and it is difficult to complete in a short period of time. In other words, the Sima army on the west bank does not pose any threat to the Huainan army. Although Hu Lie's Sima army is rushing around on the east bank, if Zhuge Dan forcibly breaks through, there is still great hope.

Zhuge Dan didn't dare to fight anymore and ordered all the troops to retreat on their entire line, heading eastward to Xia Cai.

Xia Cai was on the north bank of the Huai River, opposite Shouchun. In order to protect Shouchun, Zhuge Dan deliberately built Xia Cai into a fortress. At this moment, there were Sima's pursuers behind him, so there was no time for them to cross the river. Therefore, Zhuge Dan could only lead his troops to retreat to Xia Cai first, use Xia Cai's city walls to block Sima's pursuers and win some chances for himself to breathe.

Hu Lie chased after him all the way, but he also captured countless deaths. The Huainan Army was in a mess during the escape. In order to survive, they discarded almost all their supplies, even armor and weapons, just to reduce the load, so that they could run faster.

Under the pursuit of Sima cavalry, no matter how thick the armor or the sharper weapons are, they have no effect. Sima cavalry can easily crush them. As long as they are caught up by Sima cavalry, they have almost no chance of survival.

Therefore, this desperate race is not so much a competition with a war horse, but rather a competition with one's own robes. Only those who are running in the front have a chance to survive. Those who are behind are destined to be trampled on by Sima's war horses.

Zhuge Dan escaped to Xiacai City in one breath. When the guard saw Zhuge Dan come back, he was extremely surprised and quickly opened the city gate and welcomed Zhuge Dan into the city.

Hu Lie knew that the cavalry had no ability to attack the city, so after chasing Xia Caicheng, he took the initiative to stop the attack and withdrew his troops. During the pursuit along the way, Hu Lie captured countless heads and seized a large amount of supplies. He returned to Ying Shang excitedly and reported to Sima Lun.

The battle on Ying also stopped. Sima Lun ordered several floating bridges to be built on the Ying River to facilitate Sima's army's back and forth.

The battle was very fierce. There were countless corpses on the east and west sides of the Ying River, and even the river water was dyed with bright red. At this moment, the sunset was set, half of the river was shivering, half of the river was rustling, which made people feel particularly palpitations.

Such a bloody and cruel scene, if it were another child, I was afraid that he would be silly, but Simalun was calm and composed while walking there without any discomfort.
