Therefore, the attacks of the Bingzhou cavalry did not completely exert force, but were more carried out by roundabout attacks and beating the edge drums. If you have the opportunity to take a breath, the Bingzhou cavalry would rush forward without hesitation, and would not fight after success, and evacuate decisively to avoid falling into a fight with the Sima army.

If there is no chance, the Bingzhou cavalry will not take action rashly, but will deliberately distance it to ensure that its team will not be attacked by enemy archers, and then wait for an opportunity to find another opportunity.

In this pursuit battle, the Bingzhou cavalry fought extremely calmly, without any rush and ease. Obviously, Cao Liang had made sufficient arrangements before. The style of fighting in this pursuit battle was completely different from the complete annihilation of the Sima cavalry in the Battle of Qi County. In that ambush, the Bingzhou cavalry completely attacked, devoted all his strength, and earned his contributions in one battle. He started a steady and accurate move. Within just a few hours, he wiped out the 70,000 Sima cavalry on the banks of the Wuma River.

When it was this pursuit battle, Cao Liang used different styles of play. The main forces of the attack were basically mainly Xiaoqi battalion and Yueqi battalion. The heavy cavalry of the Tunqi battalion only occasionally participated in the battle and was invisible most of the time.

Of course, this is also related to the characteristics of the Tunqi Camp. Since the Tunqi Camp is all heavy-armed cavalry and is very burdened and is not good at long-distance marching. To pursue the Sima Army, the cavalry troops need to continue to advance and intersperse and encircle. Compared with the Tunqi Camp, the Xiaoqi Camp Yueqi Camp is more suitable for this kind of fighting style, so the main pursuit tasks are the Xiaoqi Camp and the Yueqi Camp.

Of course, as a deterrent to force, the Tunqi Battalion has not stopped moving forward, but has followed closely behind Sima Jun, and occasionally showing its strengths is enough to make Sima Jun feel frustrated.

The Sima Army had almost no solution to the heavy cavalry in the Tunqiu camp. They could list the spear formation to fight against the cavalry camp and the shield formation to fight against the archers. However, the Sima Army had no resistance to the attacks of the heavy cavalry. Whether it was the spear formation or the shield formation, it became vulnerable in the face of the invincible offensive of the heavy cavalry.

If there were no shortcomings in endurance, the heavy cavalry would be enough to sweep the world.

With the lack of heavy cavalry, the offensive of the Bingzhou cavalry was not so strong. However, this pursuit was a big pursuit that spanned nearly a thousand miles, and the road was still long, so Wen Qin and Deng Ai were not in a hurry at all. They fought together and cooperated with each other to completely play Sima's army in their palms. Just asking him to change formations back and forth was enough to make him run away and unable to resist.

The person who is anxious now is Sima Shi. He has been overwhelmed by the Bingzhou cavalry. There are constant casualties in the rear team and the flanks. Although the losses are not big every time, from hundreds to thousands, such a small loss is nothing for the Sima army, but it is a drop in the bucket. However, after many battles accumulated, the losses are considerable.

Of course this is not the point. The point is that the current Bingzhou cavalry is like a dog skin plaster, sticking very tightly. No matter how Sima's army throws it, it can't be shaken off. It's like a maggot with bones, making Sima's army full of anxiety.

The Bingzhou Army's cavalry has too strong mobility and fast speed. Even if the Sima Division wants to counterattack, it will not catch up with others at all. Of course, the Sima Division has no courage to pursue. With the terrible combat power and mobile combat capabilities of the Bingzhou Cavalry, a part of the troops will be divided into pursuit, which is simply no different from the death.

Now the Sima army is in a group and can barely support it with the power of a large population. If the troops are dispersed, they will only be defeated by the Bingzhou army and destroyed.

But if you don’t fight back, you can only be beaten passively. Every time the Bingzhou cavalry roared over and reaped a wave of lives, they would leave again, which made Sima Shi really helpless.

However, Sima Shi still swallowed this tone. He could not act voluntarily when fighting. The current situation is difficult. If you can tolerate it, you must tolerate it. If you can’t tolerate it, you must tolerate it. Only by preserving your strength can you have a chance to fight back in the future.

Now Sima Shi’s only hope is to arrive in Anyi as soon as possible and rely on the city of Anyi City to resist the Bingzhou army. Pingyang has been lost. If Anyi is lost again, then the entire Hedong County may no longer be under the control of the Sima family.

Although it was a smooth road from Pingyang to Anyi, it was a vast plain, but the two hundred miles of Sima's journey was very difficult. They had to march constantly and fight with the Bingzhou cavalry. It took five or six days for the Sima army to arrive near Anyi.

In view of the loss of Pingyang, Sima Shi sent someone to Anyi to find out the news about Anyi before arriving in Anyi. As a result, what Sima Shi heard was another catastrophic bad news.

After Pingyang fell, Anyi also fell. Wang Jun, who was stationed in Shangdang, led the Changshui Camp to raid Anyi. Since Anyi was farther from the front line than Pingyang, the defense was more relaxed. Wang Jun conquered Anyi almost without any effort and completely cut off Sima Shi's thoughts.

In addition to Pingyang and Anyi, there are still many county towns in the Hedong counties, but these county towns are far less than those of these two county towns in terms of size and city defense. If a 100,000 army squeezes into a small county town, it may be able to squeeze the city out.

More importantly, Sima's army is short of food now, and Sima's army wants to rush to Pingyang and Anyi, on the one hand, they want to find a place to stay, and on the other hand, they are looking for supplies to help Sima's army overcome difficulties.

Even if there are some food stored in the treasury of the small county town, it is still limited in quantity and cannot meet the needs of the army at all. Only in the treasury of the county town can there be enough food and grass to provide them.

Now that Pingyang has been lost, Anyi has been lost, and the Sima army is completely in desperate situation. The vast Hedong land has no place to stay. No wonder the Bingzhou army can carry out roundabout attacks like this unscrupulously. It turns out that they had planned to use the continuous attacks of cavalry to entangle the Sima army, making them difficult for them to go back to rescue quickly, and then send troops to sneak attack and seize Pingyang Anyi. This trick of removing firewood from the cauldron is really too ruthless.

No one expected that Cao Liang's appetite was so big. Not only did he eat up the 70,000 cavalry of Sima's army, but he didn't even let go of more than 100,000 infantry, but he also planned to swallow the entire Hedong. Such a huge ambition made people shudder.
