Chapter five hundred and ninetieth army mutiny

His troops and horses are not far and near, and can play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and also set aside an appropriate distance. You must know that this kind of operation is not easy, but to be completely talked about, he himself did not say this era, but who would have thought that infantry marching could catch up with cavalry? He would not say it, so no one knew it.

Hulao Pass’s status before the Song Dynasty was not lower than that of Tongguan. After the Song Dynasty, Luoyang and Chang'an would no longer be deliberately managed due to the shift of national focus. However, at this time, this place was still the center of the world. Today, the two strongest vassal kings chose to fight a decisive battle like their previous predecessors.

However, for Sima Ying, this was not the decisive battle he imagined, at least it did not appear according to his own ideas. Now he still had 300,000 troops, but he was in a passive situation of being beaten. He was raided by more than 10,000 cavalry one after another, causing a long team to ignore each other, but this was not his fault. The terrain towards Hulao Pass was getting narrower and narrower, so he could not deploy a sufficiently deep march.

But Sima Ying, who was not at fault, has now suffered the harm of the terrain to him. The reason is that his army has too many people and is too bloated. The soldiers of the army only know how to be attacked, but they are not sure where they were attacked. The chaos caused by the fluctuation of the army's morale is even greater than the impact of a wisp of partial divisions.

Decades later, Fu Jian, who unified the north, led a million troops to fight south because of a seemingly innocuous measure that created the myth of the Eastern Jin Dynasty's full force, which made the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was almost somewhat declining compared to the Former Qin Dynasty, rekindled its enterprising spirit.

Sima Ying's situation is similar now. He even didn't know where he was attacked at first glance. The entire army was in panic, and the failure to bomb the camp immediately was the result of his years of accumulation of power.

Compared with the chaos on Sima Ying's side, Sima Ji, who was in the attack, sat firmly on Diaoyutai. Don't look at him, he didn't see the achievements of the Xianbei cavalry at all, but he could imagine the chaos of hundreds of thousands of troops being attacked during the withdrawal. Under such conditions, those who could still hold their positions can count in history. Sima Ji thought that he could do this with all the students in Youzhou's army, but a person would definitely not be able to do it. Sima Ying would definitely not be able to do it, and there would definitely be no time for the infantry army to form a formation to meet the enemy during the withdrawal process.

The above is what he could guess. Sometimes it doesn’t take a very smart head to predict the situation on the battlefield. It only needs to be in line with common sense. Examples of wars other than common sense, such as why Wang Mang’s hundreds of thousands of troops encountered meteorites, after all, there are very few.

It is certain that you can win this time, it depends on how Sima Ying dealt with it. If the prince is still greedy and wants to protect enough troops as much as possible, and does not understand the principle of a hero cutting off his arm, things will be in trouble.

This trick cannot be used on King Yan. He ran away with his confidant without any psychological burden. He only had cannon fodder and high-end cannon fodder in his eyes, but they are essentially consumables.

Hulao Pass seemed not too far away, but it seemed to be far away at this time. Because it was constantly being attacked by Xianbei cavalry that had caught up along the way, the entire army was in an extremely nervous mood, ready to fight against the suddenly appearing Xianbei cavalry at any time. It was a waste of time to continue forming formations. The army stopped and stopped, and is still trapped far away from Hulao Pass. The Hu cavalry of the Yan thief was immediately evacuated with one blow, and it appeared again shortly after a while, but Sima Ying's army's casualties continued to increase.

The attacks of Xianbei cavalry have no rules or rules at all. The advantages of cavalry over infantry are fully demonstrated at this time. When to launch an attack is the final decision of the cavalry. The King of Yan likes to rush forward without caring about the present. The Xianbei people do not have this bad habit. Sometimes they walk for several miles and are safe and sound. Sometimes, just as the army disbanded, the Xianbei cavalry will suddenly appear again and catch them off guard. Under this attack, the marching was originally considered complete and gradually became disconnected.

Along the way, there were corpses of soldiers with corpses and scattered soldiers who were constantly falling behind. Without the overall protection, their lives were almost entirely determined by luck. The entire evacuated army had long lived up to what Sima Ying said, just because of insufficient food and grass, and no one in ordinary soldiers believed this kind of rhetoric. Dreams and reality always seemed very close, but in fact they were out of reach.

Finally, the most worrying thing happened. A very important part of the army of 300,000 was mutinized. These part of the army was Luoyang Imperial Guard. They themselves were the soldiers who followed Changsha King Sima Yi to resist Sima Ying's attack on the capital. After Sima Yi was arrested by some people in the capital, the entire Luoyang Imperial Guard surrendered.

However, Sima Yi was at the forefront of the capital, and knew that after several wars, the capital was weak. When he was in power, he attached great importance to the Luoyang Imperial Army. He tried his best to mediate the situation in the capital. All the soldiers of the Luoyang Imperial Army saw all this. Sima Yi was hoped that it would be regarded as the revival of the Jin Dynasty, and even Sima Ji, the King of Yan who was alliance with Sima Yi, was not disgusted with it.

But the Changsha King, who they thought could revive the Great Jin Dynasty, was betrayed. In the end, the imperial guards could only surrender. Sima Ying gathered the imperial guards and replaced a large number of generals. Because the time was too short, it was still impossible to change the mentality of the imperial guards. When in adversity, the imperial guards' rebellious mentality broke out again.

In fact, this is normal. It has become a habit for the imperial guards to participate in coups since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is not incomprehensible to have mutiny today. But this opportunity is too deadly. The mutiny of tens of thousands of imperial guards in Luoyang directly caused Sima Ying's withdrawal to completely fall into chaos, just like the chaotic front army in the Battle of Feishui disrupted the entire Former Qin army.

Perhaps because he was a little prepared for the Luoyang Imperial Army, Sima Ying was afraid that they would surrender directly, so he did not let the Luoyang Imperial Army's rear guard. Such considerations were not bad. However, once the Luoyang Imperial Army was mutiny, it completely cut off the 300,000 troops into two pieces. The Luoyang Imperial Army formed a formation to protect itself and cut off the way out of the troops behind the hall, which Sima Ying would never have thought.

Even Mr. Chen and Zhao Xiang's troops became chaotic due to sudden changes. Some soldiers lost their armor and lost their style of withdrawing their troops half a day ago. Instead, they were panic, as if every grass and tree around them were enemies.

At this point, Sima Ying couldn't help but want to protect the army. If he didn't make a decision, once the chaos affected the entire army, it would not be a matter of how many troops could be saved, but whether the entire army would be wiped out.

Mr. Chen and Zhao Xiang directly came to Sima Ying's side and stated their interests. "Your Highness, the Luoyang Imperial Army mutiny, we can no longer contact the troops behind the army. Now, for the sake of this, we are to quickly leave the army and quickly return to Hulao Pass with the unconfused troops. We will hold the remaining troops under our control. If we stay here again, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"This?" Sima Ying looked at the two confidants brought from Yizhou, looking hesitant. At the time of stalemate, a sudden probe of the horse was coming, "A Hu people attacked the central army with heavy cavalry, General Zhao Xiang, what should I do now?"

"Your Highness, Zhao Xiang is willing to lead the troops in his headquarters, but he still hopes that your Highness will get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. The Yan thieves are covering the sky with one hand in the north. This time, the Xianbei sent 100,000 troops, and there are still many cavalrymen running around and ambushing nearby. You must make a decision early." Zhao Xiang knelt in front of Sima Ying and spoke anxiously, then he picked up his gun and disappeared in front of Sima Ying.

"It's time to make a decision, Your Highness." Mr. Chen also spoke anxiously, "General Zhao Xiang's words come from the heart."

"Okay, you and Du Jian are opening the way forward, and the whole army will accelerate our return to Hulao Pass." After hesitation, Sima Ying finally expressed the courage to cut off his arm and called on the generals of the central army to issue orders.

Kill... The Xianbei cavalry screamed with great strength, and the sound spread all over the world, alarming the birds and animals in the nearby areas in panic and fleeing

Sima Ying, who was raided, was unwilling to fall behind, and was also cheering loudly, and burst out loud. One by one, they rushed out like wolves and tigers. Tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry rode forward, and used thunder to move towards the direction of the infantry that lined up to meet the enemy. The cavalry advanced together, like a beast out of the cage, unstoppable.

This is a contest between a saber and a spear. When it is really time to fight, the combat power of the infantry should not be underestimated. During the battle of mutual harm, Xianbei cavalry fell off the horse, and the moment Lima was limped from countless spears from all directions, and soon there was no movement.

Every time the shiny sabre fell, blood splashed. When the sabre was swung, it was like a seductive god of death who sent the obstacles in front of him into hell. With just one contact, countless soldiers on both sides died on the spot. The injured war horses could hardly stand this bloody scene. They were frightened and were quickly killed by both sides with red eyes.

The corpse had covered the ground where both sides were fighting. Yuwen Xunyan watched his subordinates decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye, but he ignored it and had no indication of the lives of these tribal warriors. He only hoped to win, and there was nothing else.

"Is it the Luoyang Imperial Army Mutiny?" Although Sima Ji did not have established cavalry around him, he was not too poor to even afford to explore horses. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial army has participated in coups so many times, and finally another coup that is beneficial to him has appeared.
