Chapter 2222 Experienced
There were basically not many of the thousands of people from the Shu army who could escape. They were chased or captured, but Shi Bao was still very depressed.
This battle of Huya Mountain can be said to be the hardest battle that Shi Bao has fought since he led the army. In the battle of Huya Mountain, he fought fiercely in every battle. Even though he successively seized three mountain villages of the Shu army, he still encountered the most tenacious resistance of the Shu army in front of Weirong Village.
After finally taking down Weirong Village, he found that he had only caught a small fish. The main army of Bu Xie's Association actually fled.
Of course, Shi Bao would not give up the pursuit so easily. After taking down Weirong Village and dealing with the thousand troops cut off the Shu army, Shi Bao immediately ordered the Tunqi Camp to launch a heavy attack and pursue the Shu army along the direction of the escape.
In fact, from Weirongzhai to Qianting Mountain, there is only one road to walk, and other branch roads are dead ends and cannot work. Therefore, whether it is Bu Xie who escaped in advance or Tunqiying who pursued behind, there is only one way to walk.
The cavalry relies on their ability to attack and defend at high risk, and there is no need to worry about any ambushings that will occur on the way. They chase and chase each other wildly along the way, without stopping.
It was just because the Tunqi Camp was too burdened, their speed of travel could be said to be the slowest among all cavalrymen. If it were the Kiln Camp, even if the Shu army had only one more day, the Kiln Camp would be sure to catch up.
But the Tunqi Camp finally used his strength to catch up with the Shu army before he arrived at the Guanting.
The Bu Xie arrived at the Qi Pavilion at sunset, which was one hour earlier than the Tunqi Camp. When the Tunqi Camp arrived at the flank of the Qi Pavilion, it was already midnight.
After Wang Hui, the general of the Tunqiu, arrived at the foot of Mount Qiting, was still hesitating whether to launch an attack, so there were only waves of shouts of killing from the mountain. It seemed that the Wei army was fighting with the Shu army here.
Wang Hui didn't care about inquiries about the truth and immediately led his army to rush up to Mount Qiting. After going up the mountain, he found that the Shu army had already withdrawn from Mount Qiting. The Jinqi Camp was pursuing with all his might. So Wang Hui led the troops of the Clan Cavalry and the Jinqi Camp to join forces and continue to pursue the Shu army.
After joining the pursuit team, the powerful attack power displayed by the Shu army was unstoppable. The Sima army had fought with the Tunqi Battalion a lot before, so they were also afraid of the strong combat power of the Tunqi Battalion.
Since the pursuit of the Tunqi Camp, the speed of the Shu army retreated has significantly accelerated. Obviously, they wanted to get rid of the pursuit of the Tunqi Camp as much as possible. The attack of the Tunqi Camp was simply a nightmare existence to them.
But it is not easy to get rid of the Tunqi Camp. Even if the Tunqi Camp is the slowest among all cavalry, it still has the power to crush the infantry at least. Therefore, once the infantry team is bitten to death by the Tunqi Camp, there is basically no chance of escaping.
Of course, Simalun is not without means of dealing with cavalry. On such a narrow mountain road, using horse nails is a magic weapon to block cavalry. In addition, it is dark, once the horse nails are thrown on the road, it is difficult for the Wei cavalry to discover it, and it takes a lot of time to clean it up. Therefore, as long as the horse nails are used, the retreat of the Shu army will inevitably be smoother.
However, Simalun did not use the sting. His biggest purpose now is to introduce the Shu army to Dengying Gorge. There, Simalun had already ambushed eight thousand troops. It is time for the Wei army to dare to pursue such an unscrupulous way, and it is time for them to suffer a little.
Of course, Sima Lun was very clear about the consequences of being bitten by the Wei cavalry. If the Shu army did not have the means to counterattack, it would definitely be gradually eroded by the Wei cavalry. After all, the speed of the Shu army's infantry would not be able to escape the Wei cavalry anyway.
So when formulating the retreat plan, Sima Lun had already planned to set up an ambush in the most dangerous Dengying Gorge. If the Wei army did not come to pursue, the Shu army could easily evacuate the pavilion.
But if the Wei army insisted on swaying, Dengying Gorge would become their burial place. Sima Lun arranged five thousand crossbowmen and three thousand other troops in Dengying Gorge, and carefully planned the ambush. If the Wei army dared to chase him, then they would prepare to follow Zhang He's footsteps.
In terms of ambushing, the Shu army had a lot of experience. Sima Lun was also a keen mind and good at learning. The military books and strategies he had read were enough to use a car to pull them. Wei and Shu had fought for many years, and Sima Yi represented the forces of Wei and suffered many falls in ambushing battles. Therefore, Sima Yi came to the conclusion--don't pursue the enemy.
Sima Yi's strategy and tactics had a deep impact on Sima Lun. Sima Lun has always been curious. Since the ambush of the Shu army is so powerful, why did the Wei army fall into trouble in this area many times?
Later, when Sima Lun grew up, he gradually understood that the reason why the Wei army was frequently ambushed by the Shu army, and even after losing the general Zhang He and Wang Shuang, he still had many cases of ambushing and severely injured. The reason for this is that the word "interest" can never escape.
When the enemy retreats, it is the last chance to make contributions and rewards. Most leaders cannot withstand such temptations. They often forget the lessons of the past and chase after them rashly, and end up suffering a great loss.
The profit makes people confused. Most secular people cannot escape the word "fame and fortune". In the face of huge benefits, many people are willing to accept it even if they know there is a risk.
After surrendering to Shu, Sima Lun learned a lot of experience from Jiang Wei. The two battles in Longxi ended with the retreat of the Shu army. In order to ensure that the Shu army could retreat to Hanzhong smoothly, Jiang Wei also used all his skills and made careful arrangements. Sima Lun really learned a lot of things with Jiang Wei.
Sima Lun had also studied the ambush of the Shu army before, but that was based on the Wei army. This time he joined the Shu army and gained a comprehensive understanding of the ambush tactics of the Shu army.
This evacuation from the chanting will also be a new test for Simalun. If Simalun does not have the means of counterattack, then he will not be able to get rid of the Wei army's pursuit like a maggot with bones. The final result will be ruthlessly eroded by the Wei army.
Therefore, the ambush at Dengyingxia is extremely important for Sima Lun. If the Wei army cannot be severely damaged and the Wei army's pursuit cannot be stopped, then Sima Lun's entire retreat plan will definitely be a failure.
