Chapter 344 The tiger and leopard raided the first meritorious service, and Ma Jian was attacked and trapped in the deserted temple

It is said that Zhuge Liang received Liangdu, Shangqiu, Qixiang and other places, so that the generals Guan Suo, Guan Xing and Ma Liang led troops to guard Shangqiu and strictly guard against grain and grass; The general Tu'an led 10,000 people to pray for the village to guard.

After the army rested for a while, Zhuge Liang wanted to send troops to conquer Jiyin.

Suddenly, Ying Yang probed the Malay newspaper: "Prime Minister Qi, Sima Yi rushed back to Jiyin from Xindu."

What the? Sima Yi rushed back to Jiyin? I'm afraid it's not going to be good in the future!

Although Zhuge Liang was a little surprised that Sima Yi came back so soon, his face was silent, and he asked in a deep voice: "It's just that Sima Yi returned to Jiyin alone?" ”

"Back to Prime Minister, there are thousands of cavalry who went to Jiyin with Sima Yi." Eagle Yang replied.

Thousands of cavalry? Why did Sima Yi return to the camp with thousands of cavalry? In just a few days, Sima Yi didn't know that Liangdu, Shangqiu and other places had fallen! Is there any use for these cavalry?

Zhuge Liang was puzzled. How dare he use troops easily in his cautious life?

Ma Yan, the general of the cavalry, suddenly came to see Zhuge Liang and asked for words: "The enemy army is guarding Jiyin, and the north is Dongjun. If the enemy is broken in Jiyin, then Dongjun is just around the corner. But I don't know why the prime minister is holding his troops still? ”

Zhuge Liang admired Ma Jian very much, and when he saw Ma Jian inquiring, he said: "Sima Yi has returned to Jiyin, and he has returned with thousands of cavalry. The old man didn't know the details, so he didn't dare to raise troops easily! ”

When Ma Tan heard this, he admonished: "Tan once heard Sun Tzu say: 'The soldier is clumsy and fast, and he has not seen the skill for a long time. Those who have been serving for a long time and the country are not there. Therefore, those who do not fully understand the harm of using troops cannot fully understand the benefits of using soldiers. 'Now that our army has come here, let us march and attack the enemy!' If the prime minister stays here because Sima returned to the city, I am afraid that the army will slack off! ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he looked at him quietly, then lowered his head and came to the edge of the sand table, bowed his head and pondered and circled around the sand table, which looked very heavy.

Whether to go on an expedition today, this question really makes Zhuge Liang very entangled! Because a disturbing thought could not be dispelled in his heart.

Ma Tan saw that Zhuge Liang was silent for a long time, and said: "Prime Minister, I am willing to lead the troops to attack Jiyin as the vanguard!" ”

Ma Tan's resoluteness made Zhuge Liang very upset.

Zhuge Liang also saw the young general's thoughts, so he said: "Young and often, the old man knows that you are familiar with the strategy of reading military books. It's just that this expedition is related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses! ”

"Prime Minister, I think it's time to go out at this time! It's too late! Ma Jian said categorically, "Once Sima Yi arranges the defense of Jiyin properly, it will be even more difficult for our army to attack again!" ”

Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that it was a foregone conclusion to send troops to fight Jiyin, if it weren't for the fact that he had not been in his heart for a long time, he would have already sent troops out. After thinking about it for a long time, he said to Ma Yan: "Young Chang, it's not that the old man refuses to send troops. It's just that after learning the news of Sima Zhongda's return to the city, the old man always felt uneasy. I'm afraid that this war will change! ”

"Prime Minister, the war is changing rapidly, and our soldiers should adapt to the changes in the war! If you retreat to defend the city because of anxiety, when will you be able to restore the Han Dynasty? Ma Jian said with a generous and righteous look.

In Ma Yan's persuasion, the uneasiness in Zhuge Liang's heart gradually disappeared.

Zhuge Liang then said to Ma Yan: "Since you are young and have a heart, the pioneer will be handed over to you." You and your eldest brother Bo Chang led the second infantry regiment and the personal guard corps, with a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses as the front, and went to Ruyin. The rest of the soldiers and horses were handed over to Zhong Chang and Shu Chang to take care of. When the soldiers go to Ruyin, they can beg the enemy and scold the formation, win or lose, and they can't fight to the death with the enemy! ”

"Whoa!" Ma Tan then took the order.

Rushing back to the barracks, Ma Jian had a brief talk with his second brother Ma Kang and third brother Ma Jin, and then set off with his eldest brother Ma Xuan to lead the personal guard regiment and two infantry regiments.

Ma Tan and his eldest brother Ma Xuan led an army of 20,000 to Jiyin City.

From Liangdu to Jiyin, although all the horses and rivers are plains, but both sides of the avenue are wooded, and the high hills make the road rugged and winding.

The army marched to the outside of Jiyin City, and had reached the south-east section of Jiyin. A few miles away from Jiyin, Ma Tan made the army encamp.

After everything stopped, Ma Tan led an infantry regiment to train Ma Ling, the regiment's deputy Ma Shan, and the regiment's deputy general Ma Yuan to lead 8,000 troops to Jiyin City to fight against the enemy.

Cao Biao saw that the Han Dynasty army was fighting outside, so he wanted to fight.

Sima Yi stopped and said, "The general is not allowed to fight." The general is a strange soldier in the hands of the old man, and he must not go to war at this time! After finishing speaking, Sima Shi took Sun Li and Yang Jun to raise 8,000 elite soldiers to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Ma Tan fought with Sima Shi, but they fought decently, and there was nothing special about it.

The two, one is a Confucian among the generals, and the other is a scribe among the military attachés; Even the names and surnames seem to be crepe.

Tend to the horses to fight, the spear presses the knife, and the horse passes through the chain, but it seems that the two of them have superb martial arts, and they are almost the same.

After more than 50 battles, Sima Shi swung his big sword, opened Ma Tan's spear, and said: "You and I are almost the same in martial arts, when will we stop fighting like this?" Why don't you and I go back to the camp and make a decision, and try to fight tomorrow? ”

How did Ma Jian know that this guy was to pave the way for a night raid! Without thinking, he said, "That's great! Fight again tomorrow! ”

The two then led their men and horses back to the camp.

Ma Xuan heard what Ma Jian said, so he said to Ma Yan: "Sima Yi is quite a good soldier, what if he takes advantage of the fatigue of our army tonight and comes to attack the camp?" ”

Ma Tan has always been very convinced of his eldest brother's words, so he arranged for Ma Ling and others to take precautions.

However, they didn't know that Sima Yi only sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack the camp this time, and almost wiped out Ma Tan's 20,000 troops.

After nightfall, Ma Tan personally checked the various whistles before returning to his bedchamber.

Because tomorrow he was going to fight against Sima Shi against the soldiers and horses, Ma Jian took the war book and studied it hard. Suddenly, when he heard the shouting of killing at the gate of the camp, he hurriedly put on his helmet, got out of the big tent, and led the horses to the door.

But I saw a soldier running to report: "General Qiyu, thousands of Wei cavalry have come outside the camp." The momentum was fierce, and General Ma Shan was fighting with the enemy with a regiment of four battalions. ”

Then another soldier came running to report: "Report to the general, General Ma Ling has sent a small one to report, please leave quickly!" The enemy cavalry is very strange, wearing heavy armor and invulnerable! The 8,000 elite soldiers of our legion are far superior to the enemy army by several times, and they are ...... Unexpectedly......! ”

As he spoke, the soldier began to cry.

"How did it be? You mean! "Ma Jian is in a hurry.

"Our army has been slaughtered by the enemy!" The soldier said with tears in his eyes. This is not only because of the sadness of losing a companion, but also because of the grief and anger of watching the brothers who usually kill the enemy together for the first time be slaughtered by the enemy!

When Ma Tan heard this, he was shocked.

This is Ma Xuan coming.

"Fifth brother, this is the enemy's tiger and leopard horseman. It's not our soldiers! Evacuate! "Ma Xuan had heard of this compilation. It was in the army, when Emperor Taishang was still the general of Zhenguo, he said, "Cao Cao learned the heavy armor from the heavy cavalry of our army, so he secretly trained a cavalry, called the tiger and leopard cavalry." Its strength is not weaker than our army's heavy armor and iron cavalry! ”

Naturally, Ma Jian had also heard of this army. He couldn't be surprised, and said to the eldest brother: "Big brother, you quickly retreat to Liangdu with the pro-guard corps and report to the prime minister." A certain and the 2nd Infantry Regiment went to the rescue of the 1st Regiment. ”

When he had finished speaking, he rode his horse on.

Ma Xuan wanted to stay by himself, but Ma Jian was already far away, so he had to shake his head, so he rushed away with more than 4,000 people from the pro-guard corps.

Ma Tan came to the rescue with the second regiment.

Sure enough, I saw that thousands of cavalry were surrounded, and a regiment of 8,000 soldiers had already lost more than 2,000 people, and the remaining 5,000 people were more or less wounded.

Ma Tan looked around, and only saw Ma Ling and Ma Shan, but Ma Yuan was gone.

What about Ma Yuan?

I'm afraid I'm dead! Ma Tan didn't dare to think about it again, so he entered the battle group with a spear.

Unfortunately, the enemy still has backup.

Just after Ma Jian joined the battle group with the soldiers of the second regiment, Cao Biao's tiger and leopard cavalry also began to suffer casualties.

The spirit of the Han army who is not afraid of death really shocked Cao Biao! Three or five people attacked at the same time, and the spear went straight into the belly of the horse. The knight, dressed in heavy armor, fell from his horse, his helmet fell to the ground, and he was killed.

However, the good times did not last long, and the tigers and leopards were killed and wounded only a dozen people, and Sima Shi and others actually led troops to kill from outside.

Ma Jian had no choice but to take his subordinates and fight and leave.

Ma Yuan's body was found by Ma Tan. But Maling was killed in battle. Then the deputy of the second regiment also died in order to protect Ma Yan......

The battle was very difficult, Ma Tan was under the protection of Ma Shan, Ma Xin of the Second Regiment and Yang Luo, and retreated to a deserted temple south of Jiyin with less than 5,000 soldiers and horses.

With the help of the deserted temple, Ma Tan made the soldiers start to arm.

Sima Yi's army soon rushed outside the deserted temple and surrounded the deserted temple.

The Han Dynasty infantry were armed with swords, shields or spears, as well as bows and arrows, with thirty arrows each. After entering the army, soldiers are trained in both melee training and long-range shooting. Those who do not meet the requirements will be punished by increasing their service and being allowed to work in the fields.

Ma Tan climbed to the second floor of the only hall in the temple and looked out.

Okay! There were more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Wei army outside the temple, and a small temple was densely encircled. Sima Yi and Master Sima blocked the front and back doors of the temple one after the other.

It seems that the enemy is trying to trap himself! I wonder if the prime minister will know about this? Did the eldest brother break out of the encirclement? The attack of 4,000 guards is still unstoppable by the general Wei army!

Ma Tan thought about it for a long time, so he found Ma Xin, Ma Shan, and Yang Luo, and said, "Our army is less than 5,000 left, you can wait and make arrangements." Ma Shan guarded the main gate, Yang Luo guarded the back, and General Ma Xin was a mobile man. When the enemy approached the temple gate, they shot it with arrows. ”

"Whoa!" Ma Shan and Yang Luo were ordered to go down.

Ma Tan said to Ma Xin again: "You go down and check and see if there is any food in the temple?" And see how many meals of dry food are enough for the soldiers? ”

Ma Xin took the order.

Ma Jian looked at Sima Yi in the distance upstairs, thinking about how to save himself!
