Ma Jian took 10,000 people and horses to do nothing in this street pavilion, which really made him feel uncomfortable, but because Wang Ping was monitoring him by his side, thinking about Zhuge Liang's mood, he could only endure it.

As a result, on this day, he was sitting in the big tent studying the art of war, but suddenly a patrol post came outside to report: "Report - General Qiyu, Dongwu sent a group of men and horses to rob the street pavilion." ”

Hearing such a military intelligence report, Ma Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up: "I won't fight you, but you sent it to the door by yourself, which is really a good thing." So he asked excitedly, "How many people are there for the enemy?" How was the march? ”

The patrol replied, "The enemy has come with about three thousand men, in disarray, with flags waving, and the morale of the army is very disheartened. ”

Ma Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up, it seems that the captured prisoners are very right, Lu Meng's army is really disheartened, this time sent 3,000 men and horses to rob their own street pavilions, it is estimated that they are also forced to helpless, just here to annihilate them.

So he ordered his subordinates to call up 5,000 soldiers to meet the enemy.

When Wang Ping heard that Ma Jian was going to fight, he immediately hurried over to stop him: "General, the enemy has only sent 3,000 men and horses, we don't need to meet the battle in person, as long as they hold the camp to the death, they have no way to take us." ”

"If 3,000 men and horses, and the kind of army morale is not coming, we don't dare to go out to fight, that is an encouragement to the enemy's morale, and it will be a blow to the morale of our soldiers, if the enemy is like this several times, their morale will slowly recover in this continuous attack, in our continuous defense, which is absolutely unfavorable to us, only we take the initiative to attack, and defeat them completely, so as to give them another blow to their originally low morale, and so on, The morale of the young military will collapse quickly, and it is very important for us to gain a good psychological advantage over them in the future.

Ma Jian does have a set of figuring out people's hearts, and military morale is like this, and it needs to be cultivated continuously, which is like a child, if she is afraid of dogs, then you have not let him go to see dogs, he can only become more and more afraid of dogs.

But when you let him touch Teddy for the first time, and let him beat Teddy, and then you let him touch the Golden Retriever, beat the Golden Retriever, and when he beats Erha violently, you can rest assured, next time he dares to challenge the Tibetan Mastiff.

What Ma Tan said is absolutely reasonable, if the disheartened Wu army does not dare to go out of the camp against the Han army, after a few blows, they will take it for granted that their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of the Han army, and they will invisibly produce a condescending sense of superiority psychologically, and if the Han army wants to attack them in the future, their own side will already have the upper hand psychologically, and such a situation must not appear.

Wang Ping also wanted to talk about Zhuge Liang, but Ma Jian said categorically: "The prime minister asked me to defend the street pavilion, then I have already defended it, but the enemy came to attack me, how could I not meet the enemy?" This time he came to beat me, I have to fight back, don't say more, you stay in the camp with 3,000 men and horses, I will attack with 7,000 soldiers, here I am the boss, this matter is decided. ”

Wang Ping opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up, Ma Jian is indeed the master of the army here, what he said is also very reasonable, it is not appropriate to take the initiative to attack, but people hit the door, and he will be a turtle with a shrunken head, which is indeed a blow to his military morale, since this is the case, he can no longer say anything, so he accepted such an arrangement, he guarded the camp alone, and let Ma Jian attack to meet the enemy.

Ma Tan lit up 7,000 men and horses, shouted and rushed out, and just a short distance out of the camp gate, he ran into the army of Eastern Wu.

The army of Eastern Wu was sparse and staggered, and it seemed that he did not expect the Han army to take the initiative to attack, and the general who took the lead was stunned when he saw Ma Tan, and he actually had a feeling of being at a loss.

When Ma Tan saw such a situation, he smiled at the time, such a military morale still wanted to come out and compete with himself, this is simply looking for death, so he didn't set up a formation, waved the big knife in his hand into the air, and yelled: "Sons, rush with me." "Then take the lead and take the enemy chieftain.

When the generals of Eastern Wu saw Ma Jian killing him like the gods, they panicked at that time, and did not fight against Ma Jian at all, shouting: "The wind is tight." Then he adjusted his horse and ran away.

If the main general doesn't fight at once, who is willing to die as a soldier? Without saying a word, he turned around and ran.

When it comes to escaping, the Han army in the Central Plains is really incomparable with the Eastern Wu soldiers who grew up in the mountains and forests since childhood.

Those Dongwu soldiers rushed directly into the forest on the left and right, and it was really climbing mountains and trees like walking on the ground, as dexterous as monkeys.

After the Han army entered the mountains, it was clumsy like a landlubber on a tree, and everyone happily pursued, but in a blink of an eye, the Eastern Wu army ran away without a shadow. In the end, only Ma Jian was left in the middle of the road, looking dazed.

At this time, the partial general next to him asked: "General, are you still chasing?" ”

Ma Tan looked back at his military camp, and then at the Dongwu soldiers hidden in the mountains and forests, thinking that their military morale was already so vulnerable, they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and consume as much of the enemy's fresh force in the field as possible.

Thinking of this, Ma Jian yelled: "Rectify the pursuit." ”

With his order, the Han army, which was in the excitement of the victor, immediately shouted and chased after Ma Tan.

As a result, this chase could not be contained, and in a blink of an eye, he ran out of more than ten miles, in this rugged mountain road, running up ten miles, is quite a person's physical strength, especially in this hot Jiangnan, hot and humid, even more so that these soldiers are panting and sweating profusely, tired tongues spit out how long, like a dog.

Stopping in the middle of the road, the general ran to Ma Jian again out of breath: "General, let's go back." ”

Ma Tan stood between the roads and looked at the dense forests everywhere, although he was unwilling, but he was not familiar with the environment, and the enemy in front of him had run away, and he was afraid of being ambushed if he chased down, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go back." ”

So the front of the army changed to the back team, and they turned around and walked back on this narrow mountain road.

But just after walking a short distance, someone in front of him suddenly exclaimed, and Ma Jian asked, "What's the matter?" ”

As a result, an officer who had the first head ran back and said to Ma Yan: "There is a landslide in the narrow part of the road back, blocking our way back. ”

Ma Jian frowned, and immediately felt bad in his heart, the collapse of mountains in the south of the Yangtze River is a common thing, but when it collapsed at this critical time, Ma Jian smelled the smell of danger. So he did not hesitate to order: "Immediately mobilize all the manpower to move the collapsed rocks, and we will return to the camp immediately." ”

It's a pity that as soon as his order came out, the gongs suddenly sounded loudly in the forests on both sides, and in the stunned and frightened of all the Han troops, batch after batch of feather arrows flew out like flying locusts, and with the collapse of countless stones of all sizes, in a blink of an eye, the Han army blocking the road was shot and killed, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
