Ma Jian in the camp watched as the drums of his troops were beaten, the drawbridges that had been put down were gradually retracted, the open city gates were slowly closed, and even the Liyang army that had been preparing to kill them died down.

Ma Tan saw that the Liyang army had withdrawn its troops, and the worry on his face did not decrease by half a point.

He had already figured out what Ma Zhong meant, but this was just drinking to quench his thirst.

Just when the soldiers of the Nanban battalion had assembled and were about to rush out along the open gate.

Ma Jian decisively stopped, "Okay! Now that the formation has been organized, the top and bottom are in order. Everyone immediately disbanded in their respective formations and entered their own defensive positions! ”

And then he said, "Anytime...... Get ready for battle. ”

The morale of the soldiers in the Nanban battalion was low, and no one wanted to go out to fight, and Ma Yan's words were exactly what they thought.

Immediately, no one cared about Ma Tan's inconsistencies, and one by one they hid in the trenches that had been assigned in advance under the leadership of their military attachés.

Ma Tan watched the soldiers of the Nanban battalion below scatter in an orderly manner, and ordered, "Quick, let the Huotou army bury the pot and cook quickly, it won't be long before the fight starts." This battle is not easy to fight, so there is no need to give up food. ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw Fan Jiang galloping suddenly and shouted, "The lord has an order, and the assembled soldiers and horses will enter the battle position in order." ”

After shouting, I found that the Nanban camp was scattered and lurking.

Fan Jiang was not surprised to see that Ma Jian was in command here, and he rushed to the watchtower on the horse to hold his fists and hurriedly went to other places to give orders.

Ma Jian shook his head.

Could it be that even a shrewd character like the second brother has no good way to buy some time for assembly except to make a false shot?

Could it be that one step is a mistake and it will fall into such a big disadvantage?

Ma Jian was worried, Zhou Yin didn't know where to get out, waved the paper in his hand and shouted at Ma Yan, "Strategist, I have already written the letter!" ”

"Hmm." Ma Tan replied casually, looking around, looking for the factors that could lead to his victory.

There is a strong intuition in his heart, Ma Zhong can be so arrogant to give the military power to those gentlemen, then he must have a winner who can take over the overall situation at any time, and even reverse the situation!

So what is it exactly?

If you have to wait for Ma Zhong to take out the winning hand, wouldn't that mean that he made an abnormal failure in his battlefield debut?

As the top military advisor of this era, Ma Jian also has his own dignity.

He gritted his teeth secretly, he must, he must carry this big battle by himself.

There is also Zhou Yin who has the same thoughts.

As the mud of the Zhou family, Zhou Yin certainly has some thoughts about how to deal with people in ordinary times, but such a battlefield debut also has great significance.

As the top military aristocrat of the Zhou family, Zhou Yin can be stubborn, debauched, and even rampant in Wu County unscrupulously, but Zhou Yin has one thing, he must do it well!

That's the son of the Zhou family, you must be able to fight!

This is the most important thing to maintain the military aristocracy of the Zhou family.

Zhou Xun, as the beautiful jade of the Zhou family, has unimaginable prestige in the Jiangdong Army just because his demeanor and bearing resemble Gong Jin back then.

is even regarded as a candidate for the future handsome.

And although he Zhou Yin is stubborn, as soon as he enters the circle, he does not have a very high status among the children of Wu County.

The negative prestige camp also needs prestige.

As military aristocrats, those sons know who they are trustworthy and who are looked down upon.

In this battle that was involved in Ma Zhongping, Zhou Yin really couldn't afford to lose.

So when Ma Jian unfolded Zhou Yin's undisciplined letter of peace, the servile words were simply full of sincerity.

Ma Tan saw that his forehead was jumping wildly, and another horse came galloping,

Zhang Da, who was on the horse, shouted, "Strategist, the lord wants you to hold on until sunset!" It's a death order! ”

After that, he will beat his horse and leave.

Ma Tan hurriedly drank him, "Zhang Da, stop, I have something to ask you." ”

Zhang Da didn't dare not listen to it, jumped off his horse, and asked impatiently and loudly, "What's the matter with the military advisor?" ”

Ma Jian looked at it, saw that there were not many people on the left and right, and asked strangely, "Why did Fan Jiang just leave, and you came to deliver the message again, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhang Da listened and looked left and right, and his face showed embarrassment.

Ma Yan panicked when he saw it, and Zhou Yin and Sun Kuang also noticed that something was wrong, and they took two steps forward one by one, looking at Zhang Da with fierce eyes.

Zhang Da frowned and hesitated.

Seeing this, Ma Tan's heart moved, and he came down from the watchtower shooting platform in a few steps, approached Zhang Da and asked in a low voice, "Say!" What's going on? ”

At this kind of fateful time, Zhou Yin and Sun Kuang also came to the front without hesitation and shouted, "What? Still want to hide it from our brother? ”

Zhang Da thought about it, so he had to arch his hand and say, "Strategist, it stands to reason that you should know all the big and small things in this army." He bowed his hand to Zhou Yin and Sun Kuang, "There shouldn't be any secrets about the two in this army." ”

Zhou Yin and Sun Kuang shouted, "This is nature! Tell me, what the hell is going on?! ”

Ma Tan was already faintly a little wrong, he had the heart to stop it, but he was anxious to know.

Ma Jian looked at Zhang Da and said in a deep voice, "I, Ma Tan, the Metropolitan Governor and the Joining Army, are now the commanders of the former army, and the life and death of the three thousand troops are between the three of us, if one of the judgments is wrong, it may lead to irreparable consequences." What kind of secrets do you have to hide from us? ”

Zhang Da has always been a person who knows the severity.

He knew that what Ma Tan said was right, and Ma Zhong did not deliberately tell him to keep it secret, Zhang Da had to say softly, "What the military advisor said is very ......."

After speaking, he looked around and lowered his voice, "The scout of the public enemy tiger has sent news that it was detected by the spies of the imperial court not long after we landed. ”

Before Zhang Da finished speaking, Ma Yan's face changed, and he let out an "ah".

Zhou Yin and Sun Kuang were still confused, and Zhang Da continued, "The defenders in Hefei City seem to have known that our Eastern Route Army has come out first to occupy Liyang, and has sent a large army to attack us. Judging by the meaning, it is necessary to solve our army before Sun Jiangdong crosses the river. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ma Yan, Zhou Yin, and Sun Kuang's faces all changed, and they all gasped.

It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!

The military operation to encircle Liyang is already in jeopardy, and it may be defeated at any time.

At such a critical time, the soldiers and horses of Hefei City took the initiative to attack and came to attack!

If this already overstretched force is attacked by the enemy, it will ......

The consequences are unimaginable!

Sun Kuang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! There's nothing more to say, there must be collusion between the Liyang Army and the imperial court! ”

Zhou Yin said angrily, "Where is the time to care about these, this, this!" Zhou Yin looked at Ma Jian and said hurriedly, "While the soldiers and horses of the imperial court haven't come yet, let's run quickly!" ”

Ma Jian frowned when he heard this, and scolded, "Run? What to run? Didn't you see that the Liyang Army was ready to attack? Once we abandon the village and flee, the attack will immediately turn into a pursuit, and none of us will want to go into the water alive! ”
