Chapter 971 Order to retreat

Man Bing ordered the right-wing battalion to forcefully launch a charge in the rain of arrows. Anyway, standing still and rushing up, the situations they face are no different. Instead of being passively beaten, it is better to take the initiative to attack and fight.

This time, Man Bing did not simply send lancers, but sent cavalry with shields. Otherwise, the lancers without any protective power rushed up, which was no different from dying.

However, even the cavalry with shields used is only a small round shield, not the rectangular shield that can cover the head and feet used by infantry swords and shields. The heavy shield is impossible to use at all, and this small shield can only barely protect the key parts of the cavalry. As for the limbs and war horses, they are completely exposed.

It is very difficult to flow against the arrow, but now Man Bing has no choice because he can only be beaten and not take the risk to rush forward. They have no chance.

When Deng Ai saw the Sima army revolving over, he sneered secretly. Although Yueqi Battalion has now been transformed into a cavalry long-range attacking force, the Yueqi Battalion has not lost its foundation. He put down his bow and arrow, waved his sabre and spear, Yueqi Battalion is still a melee cavalry that makes the enemy frightened.

However, it is not yet time for the Yueqi Battalion to launch a melee attack, Deng Ai decisively ordered the Yueqi cavalry to retreat and leave a distance of a battlefield.

On the way back, the arrows in the hands of the Yue cavalry did not stop, but were still firing continuously. The faster the Sima Bing rushed, the faster the Sima Bing died.

Although the Sima army rushed forward, the Yue cavalry retreated again. In this way, the distance between the two sides did not change, and the Yue cavalry did not retreat far away, but always kept an arrow with the Sima army.

As for arrows, they never stopped whether they were advancing or retreating. The Sima army kept falling down, and the offensive momentum was tightly suppressed by the Yueqi camp.

Sima Yi was quickly reported about the attack on the right wing, which obviously did not surprise Sima Yi, because this was originally something that Sima Yi expected. If there was anything that surprised Sima Yi, Cao Liang was too patient and did not send troops out until this time.

However, the attack method of the Bingzhou Army was far beyond Sima Yi's expectations. The attack of the Bingzhou Army did not adopt the previous attack method of the Knight Camp, but used all the cavalrymen to carry out long-range coverage as if they were attacking.

Cavalry and shooting are a technique that is difficult to master, so although each cavalry battalion is equipped with archers, it is not established and can only act as a sniper shooter on the battlefield, and suddenly use cold arrows to deliver a fatal blow to key enemy figures.

A cavalry team of 10,000 people will have 10,000 good riders. What kind of terrible power will this be?

Thinking of this, Sima Yi couldn't help but take a breath. Cao Liang trained such a terrifying cavalry, how could Sima's general be an enemy?

All riding archers are elites. How did Cao Liang do it?

A question arose in Sima Yi's mind, but in a flash he realized that it was the Takahashi saddle and the double-sided stirrup. It was precisely because of these two epoch-making harnesses that it made it easier to control and control the war horses, and it made it a reality to cultivate large-scale riding and shooting experts.

When Sima Yi saw these new horse harnesses, he immediately had the urge to copy, because it had a very positive effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.

But Cao Liang walked far ahead of him. Cao Liang not only invented and created the high bridge saddle and double-sided stirrup, but also trained the archers and cavalrymen. All of this will become Sima Yi's nightmare.

Is this the decisive battle that Sima Yi has been waiting for for a long time? Cao Liang was obviously more prepared than he did. No wonder Cao Liang hid them in the valley when he was training cavalry before, and it turned out that he wanted to prevent these new horse harnesses from leaking secrets.

Those stupid spies had no idea what the Bingzhou army had. The losses their spy mistakes brought to Sima army would be immeasurable.

These horse harnesses cannot be kept confidential when they confronted on the battlefield, but when they entered the final decisive moment, Cao Liang no longer needed to keep them confidential. If the Sima Army's cavalry collapsed this time, even if they mastered the new horse harness, they would not be able to compete with the Bingzhou Army in terms of strength.

A chill suddenly appeared in Sima Yi's heart. The reason why Cao Liang was fearless was that he had mastered the strength above Sima's army. In this decisive battle, Cao Liang's purpose was very clear, that was, he was to prepare to wipe out the Sima army's cavalry and let Sima Yi have no chance to turn over again.

What Sima Yi is considering now is not how to destroy the Bingzhou army, but how to preserve his strength. If Sima Yi is given enough time, he can also build extremely fast light cavalry and archers who are good at long-range attacks, but will Cao Liang still give him this opportunity?

"Father, the right wing was attacked by the Bingzhou army. It is our chance to send troops to counterattack." Sima Zhao immediately took the initiative to ask for the battle when he heard the attack on the right wing.

Sima Yi waved his hand and said, "There is no need to rescue. Send the order. The entire army retreats quickly and you cannot fight in love!"

Sima Zhao couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Sima Yi's decision was too sudden. Didn't they have made a plan before that, once they were attacked by the Bingzhou Army, the other units immediately reinforced and counterattacked, using the advantage of the number of cavalry to crush the enemy like an attack.

Why did Sima Yi suddenly change his mind? They marched into Bingzhou this time, intending to destroy Cao Liang. The battle has only started. Why did Sima Yi retreat?

"Father, this..." Sima Yi was puzzled.

Sima Yi had no time to explain to him, because Sima Yi had already keenly felt the coming of danger. If he delayed for a moment, the Sima army would have an additional risk of the destruction of the entire army.

"Perform according to the orders, and those who violate the orders will be executed!" Sima Yi's tone was firm and he could not tolerate any doubt.

Sima Zhao had no choice but to go down and pass on orders to all battalions and divisions, asking them to retreat quickly.

The entire Sima army was completely confused. Why did he suddenly order to retreat? Now there was only a battle with the Bingzhou army on the right wing of the Sima army, and the other battalions and divisions were still pursuing forward. Although the battle on the right wing affected the Sima army's advance speed, many of them were considering how to fight.

But suddenly the order came down and asked them to retreat. What's going on? Is this order true?
