Chapter 1003 Desperate Puban

The battle in Puban City was not as smooth as expected. Although there were only more than a thousand people defending in Puban City, the defender was specially appointed by Sima Yi. In other words, Sima Yi had made a move that seemed to be idle in Puban in advance, but left a way out for the army's retreat.

Luo Ning, the famous general of Puban City, was originally a slave in Sima's mansion. Later, because of his outstanding martial arts and extraordinary courage, he was brought to the army by Sima Yi and was promoted to the lieutenant for his merits.

Since he was born in the Sima family, Luo Ning was of course the direct line among Sima Yi's direct line, and there was no problem with his loyalty to the Sima family.

As the first throat rush between Qin and Jin, Pubanjin's position was very important, but it did not attract anyone's attention at this time, because both Yongzhou west of the Yellow River and Hedong County east of the Yellow River were under the control of the Sima family, so as long as the ferry was kept unobstructed, there was no need to send heavy troops to garrison.

What's more, Sima Yi brought an army of 170,000 in person, and with the original troops in Hedong County, the total strength of all troops was 220,000. Will Sima Yi defeat the battle in this battle? I guess those who raise this question in advance will be thought to be in the mind.

But it is Sima Yi's nature to prepare for the future. With Sima Yi's cautious and suspicious personality, it is not surprising that Luo Ning will be arranged to go to Pubanjin. Now it seems that this step, which was considered unnecessary by Sima Shi, had become a life-saving straw.

After Luo Ning arrived at Puban City, he strengthened the defense of Puban City in accordance with Sima Yi's orders and was always on guard. This time, the Bingzhou Army sent two thousand troops from the Xiaoqi Camp and Yueqi Camp to attack, hoping to repeat the trick of taking down Pingyang and Anyi, but Luo Ning did not give them any chance at all. The defense of the entire Puban City was not leaking. The Bingzhou Army could only sigh at the city and was helpless.

The cavalry were not good at siegeing the city. Wen Qin and Deng Ai sent two thousand troops to use the cavalry's speed advantage to rush to Puban first. They were surprised and attacked him unpreparedly. They first took Puban and cut off the Sima army's way forward. However, now they are very cautious and they have no choice but to take Puban City, so there is no chance to take it down.

At this moment, the Sima army was moving all the way, looking at Puban coming. The Sima army did not engage in many entanglements with the Bingzhou army. The eighty-mile journey from Anyi to Puban was almost a day. No matter how fierce the Bingzhou army attacked, most of the Sima army would pay the price of casualties. As long as the main force was there, the Sima army could bear the loss.

The Xiaoqi Camp and the Yueqi Camp have already launched an attack with all their might, but Sima Shi was determined to leave. It was really difficult for the Bingzhou Army to keep him. Along the way, the Sima Army was corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river. The Xiaoqi Camp was like entering a no-man's land, and it was chopping and slaughtering. The Yueqi Camp's arrows were almost shot out. The Sima Army paid a real price to escape. Along the way, if the Sima Bing's body that died in battle was connected, it could be placed from Anyi to the bank of the Yellow River.

However, the army of more than 100,000 was killed without any obstacles before, and could not be killed even if it was so unscrupulous.

Wen Qin and Deng Ai tried to send some cavalry to intercept the Sima army, but the effect was very little. At this moment, Sima army was completely red in order to escape. The torrent of tens of thousands of people was as strong as the roaring flood that had just broken the dike, and it was unstoppable. No matter how strong the cavalry combat power was, it could not resist this torrent.

Unless there is a dangerous terrain or natural barrier in front of you, you will have the opportunity to block this huge crowd. However, from Anyi to Puban, it is a plain with a flat mountain, as open as a twilight, and there is no danger to defend at all.

Unless the Bingzhou Army can get rid of the first camp at this moment and use the flat box truck to build a line of defense, it will have the opportunity to block Sima Army's retreat.

However, the box truck is bulky and slow to move. If you want to intercept Sima Jun, you must make arrangements in advance. For a temporary change of marching route like Sima Jun, the box truck is completely out of reach.

Seeing that it was impossible to stop the torrent of Sima's army, Wen Qin and Deng Ai had to give up the idea of ​​annihilation and sent all their troops to attack Sima's army from the back and flanks with all their might, and count as much as they kill.

The front of Sima Jun has now become a forbidden area for death. Any army that wants to stop them will be a mantis arm and chariot, and will easily be swallowed by this torrent.

However, it was extremely easy to attack the Huaima Army from behind and on the flanks. The Sima Army who was running away had no ability to resist these attacks.

This scene seemed to have entered the African prairie, with hundreds of thousands of antelopes and wildebeests galloping on the vast prairie. The mighty lions and fierce temple dogs dared not stand in front. They could only hunt around the sheep and horse herds, constantly hunting the lonely ones.

Although the Bingzhou cavalry is stronger than lions and dogs, they will not stop chasing just because they hunted a prey, their attacks are still less for the Sima army of 100,000 people. If they cannot block and block, it means that they cannot completely wipe out. What they do can only help Sima army lose weight.

When the front of Sima Army arrived in Puban, the lengthy team did seem much slimmer, and Sima Shi had no time to calculate how many people died on the road. He only knew that along the way, he was completely made of corpses and paved with blood. If there were not so many Sima soldiers to cover them, Sima Shi would not have the chance to arrive in Pubanjin.

At this time, the Bingzhou army, which had no success in besieging Puban City, had already retreated. When they saw Sima's army coming overwhelmingly, in order to avoid being surrounded, they had to choose to retreat. After Sima's army arrived at Puban, they did not enter the city, but led their troops to the Yellow River Ferry.

There is no meaning to enter Puban City. Only by crossing the Yellow River can you truly get rid of the pursuit of Bingzhou Army. If the Bingzhou Army tries its best to attack, an isolated city in Puban will not be able to defend at all.

What's more, Puban is just a small city, and there is no problem with garrisoning thousands of people, but if tens of thousands of people flock in, it will be overcrowded and it will be difficult to move forward.

Fortunately, Luo Ning was sent to Pubanjin, not only to defend Puban City, but also Sima Yi asked him to prepare a considerable number of ferries in case of emergency.

Luo Ning carried out Sima Yi's order without fail. Dozens of ferries were already ready to stop. They had been staying at the ferry and had never sailed. At this moment, it was just in handy.
