Five hundred and ninetieth chapters defeated like a mountain
The army advanced, and the vast team rushed to the battlefield. In fact, this battle was very similar to the battle between Li Shimin and Dou Jiande in the early Tang Dynasty. The same Guanzhong was against Shandong, and the same decisive battle centered on Luoyang. However, Sima Ji was obviously much luckier than Dou Jiande. He was on the side of the advantage. Of course, he was not afraid of old age, as long as it was useful.
Facing a weak chicken, Sima Ji has always shown great courage, just like the US facing Iraq. In fact, Sima Ying's army, which was cut into two pieces, has completely fallen into chaos. Sima Ying's army is also very mixed. After years of war and years of fighting, individual combat experience is very rich, but they have not really encountered such a powerful enemy. If they fight smoothly, they can fight and win in a row.
This is because Sima Ying, as the parent-child of Emperor Wu, started much higher than other vassal kings. In fact, as long as Sima Ying raised her arms and shouted, there would be a situation where there were many followers. He was the younger brother of the emperor, the vassal king with the most military force, and the support for Zhonghe Yizhou was much stronger than other vassal kings. He could easily gather 300,000 troops. Sima Yi, who occupied Luoyang, could only gather 50,000 or 60,000 troops to fight. This completely disproportionate basic foundation made Sima Ying invincible.
But Sima Ying did not realize this. He lived a very smooth life and had forgotten how to fight against opponents of the same level. Even if he attached great importance to the enemy, he would not subconsciously regard his opponent as an equal being with him.
If Sima Ying used Hulao Pass as a barrier in the front to attract Sima Ji's main force, and then sent a confidant to lead the cavalry to bypass the Yellow River and harass Sima Ji's food route. Because the terrain itself is not good for the attackers, Sima Ji may have to stare at him and grind him little by little. However, Sima Ying went out to fight against the barrier, he would not have any psychological pressure at all. He had no other skills, and had some attainments in the frontal decisive battle and defense.
"It's also Guanzhong's battle against Shandong. The historical trend is on my side. From then on, latecomers should know that the experience since the Qin and Han Dynasties no longer exists." Sima Ji, who followed the army to advance, thought so, and his head drilled out of the window and shouted, "Remember to me that this battle is extremely important to the world. I will decide the world with one battle."
"One battle will definitely win the world!" The dispatched horses shouted back and forth in a long queue along the way, allowing all the soldiers participating in the war to be mentally prepared before the war.
In fact, when Sima Ji's headquarters arrived at the battlefield, it also gave these soldiers who resisted the Xianbei cavalry a chance and a rightful surrender. It is quite a big deal for some barbarians to surrender in this shameful Great Jin Empire. You should know that in previous history, the Central Plains dynasty had never bowed to the Hu people.
This kind of mentality of not being able to bow his head existed in the Jin Dynasty. Therefore, no matter the later Eastern Jin Dynasty failed for various reasons, it still organized many Northern Expeditions. As for the subsequent several times of north-south coexistence, it can be clearly seen that the Southern Dynasty's psychology has become increasingly inclined to protect itself. The Southern Song Dynasty's Northern Expeditions were not many times, so let alone the Southern Ming Dynasty, after all, it was the Allies of our Qing Dynasty, and the enemy was a thief.
For ordinary soldiers of Sima Ying's army, this battle is an internal struggle between your Sima family. Sima Ying is the crown prince, Sima Ji or the King of Yan. They have to take into account their face when these Hu people appear. After the troops of the King of Yan's headquarters appear, this psychological barrier of inability to surrender will disappear. Why do we fight to the death for your own family affairs?
The rear army, which was cut off by Murong, was relieved when they saw the Yan King's army appear. The result of the continuous persuasion of horses along the way was that these soldiers and horses put down their weapons one after another.
The identity of Sima Ji Yan King during the civil war finally showed its role for the first time. Sima Ji did not think that he was a stealer. Luck was also part of his strength. He should have won, but the question was just how much he won.
"The soldiers were deceived by Sima Ying, as long as they put down their weapons, King Yan would not blame him." The persuasion shouted in the mouth of the horse along the way, and when the defeat was decided, it gave these defeated generals the best psychological comfort.
On the battlefield that spread for more than ten miles, someone was the first to put down his weapons, and then he threw away the weapons in his hands and surrendered to Sima Ji, the person they saw.
"Look at how important a suitable identity is at this time." Sima Ji said to Zhang Da who was following him, "If I don't show up, they might be defeated in the end, but the Xianbei people don't want to get a bargain. It's time for me to appear, and they won't resist. The reason is just because I am a member of the royal family, the same identity as Sima Ying."
"King of Yan, if we appear a little later, they will be even more defeated." Zhang Da said in a low voice with a hint of regret, "Now they surrender and have saved the Xianbei people."
"There are opportunities, but I don't want to be stopped by these people. When the Xianbei soldiers and horses are over fighting with them, Sima Ying might all run back to Hulao Pass. Do you still not understand that there is more important there? Sima Ying is too young and has not experienced setbacks. Now he must take advantage of the rare opportunity to clean up him at once, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with when he grows up." Sima Ji waved his hand indifferently, "Let Yuwen Xunyan and Murong Yun continue to pursue, and we will gather the defeated troops first."
As Sima Ji said, after more than 20 years of smooth sailing, Sima Ying suffered more setbacks today than in more than 20 years before. Zhao Xiang led the troops behind the army and horses to defeat after a short period of resistance. The Xianbei cavalry of the Murong family and the Yuwen family ended the battle and left the surrendered troops to Sima Ji, and once again caught up with Sima Ying's remaining army.
It was like a well-trained wolf pack attacking the flock, leaving immediately without a single blow, but never going far away, always staying within the distance of the next raid. Sima Ji didn't have much way to deal with this kind of fighting style. If he had a way to get out of the race and competition, he would have to marry the Xianbei people, so that these neighbors outside the Great Wall would know who their father was.
More than 100,000 soldiers and horses following Sima Ying were left behind at all times and took the opportunity to leave the team. The Xianbei cavalry pursuing did not care about this, as if they had not seen it, and this attitude also encouraged the emergence of deserters.
