"Still going to attack?" Liu Yin was suddenly shocked in his heart, feeling that his general was crazy.

They only had a total of 2,000 soldiers, and they were already lucky to go over the mountains and mountains to steal the pavilion. Next, as long as you hold the Yaoting Pavilion and drive away the Wu army in the direction of Yiling, the task will be completed.

This is also the task given by Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, just stick to the pavilion and wait for Chen Shi to lead the elite of the flying army to follow.

But how dare your own general, with two thousand men, dare to want to continue the attack?

"Hugh, it's good to be steady, but your pattern is still small." Ma Yan shook his head and appreciated Liu Yin's steadiness, but said anyway.

"You have to understand that our strategic goal is not only to occupy the Yiting, but to conquer the entire Yangtze River Pass. Only by occupying all the key passes of the Yangtze River can we be considered victorious! ”

"We have few soldiers now, and it is precisely because of this that Soochow will despise us. We are now leading the troops to make a surprise attack, and Soochow will definitely not be prepared, and may even bump into it on the road! ”

Shu Han attacked Eastern Wu, and there were only a few key passes on the Yangtze River.

Three Gorges Zigui, Yiling, Yiting, Yidao.

Yidao is the last bottom limit of the Dongwu defense line, and it is also the last barrier to stop the Shu army.

Once Yidao is lost, the Shu army can blast and land at Yiting through the Yangtze River. Then along the south bank of the Yangtze River, he comfortably attacked Jingnan, and Soochow was defenseless at all.

In the past, when the emperor attacked Wu, the core goal was to capture the city. As long as the pavilion is taken, the Shu army can march unimpeded in Jingnan, which is close to Shu Han.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang's strategic goal of the southern route this time is to go down the river and conquer various Yangtze River passes all the way. If you can, you can directly break through Yidao and stretch your hand back to Jingnan.

This strategy is basically a copy of the first emperor's battle of Yiling, and the changes are basically not much. And the ratio of troops and departments is about the same as that of the first emperor, except that it is no different from fighting faster.

So when Ma Tan saw all this, he basically understood the little ninety-nine in the prime minister's heart.

In the final analysis, the prime minister also has feelings, and Zhuge Cheng is still haunted by the defeat of the first emperor Yiling. This time, it is clear that the strategy of the first emperor will be used to fight you Dongwu again, and the name of the first emperor will be justified.

Our prime minister also has a heart for revenge.

In this regard, Ma Tan also intends to give Prime Minister a helping hand and speed up the process of defeating Wu.

Didn't the prime minister let me lay down the pavilion? Not only do I have to lay down the Pavilion, but I also have to personally lead people to steal the road. After stealing Yidao, the prime minister conquered Yiling and could advance by land and water, and the army went straight to the Jingzhou Plain.

It's just that in the eyes of Liu Yin, who is not familiar with Ma Yan, this strategy is simply nonsense. With only 2,000 soldiers and horses crossing mountains and mountains to steal a city, it was already lucky to be able to steal a city.

You are still not satisfied, and you want to steal another one?

It's a pity that Liu Yin couldn't persuade the iron-hearted Ma Tan, and in the end he had no choice but to follow Ma Jian to gather troops.

"It looks like I have to be ready to cover the general's evacuation at any time, it's too messy."

Liu Yin sighed secretly in his heart, he really didn't expect this Shenwei general to be so risky.

…………

Yaoting was broken by the Shu army, and the routed army fled all the way east to Yidao to report it. The guards of Yidao were Pan Zhang and Zhu Ran, the generals of Eastern Wu, and they held 8,000 soldiers and horses to defend this place at this time.

"What? The Shu army fought out of the mountains and forests? Pan Zhang couldn't help but be shocked when he heard the words of the rout.

"Hasn't Yiling been breached yet, why has the Shu army already appeared in Yiting?"

"I heard before that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu State, drew the Qingqiang barbarians and warlike soldiers from Nanzhong into the army and named it the Wudang Flying Army." Zhu Ran, the general on the side, was silent for a while and spoke.

"Its soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and they are good at climbing the city in the mountains, I am afraid that they crossed the mountain and came to sneak attack."

"I'm afraid that General Sun of Yiling is going to have an accident!"

The location of the pavilion is very special, he is located near the Huya of Jingmen, which is an important battlefield fulcrum. If the pavilion is lost, Yiling will lose the echo of the south bank, and the retreat will be cut off by the Shu army on the south bank at any time.

At that time, it will be impossible for General Sun to retreat safely, and it is very likely that he will be directly made dumplings.

"We must gather our troops immediately and recapture the Pavilion as soon as possible!" Pan Zhang immediately made a judgment that he must counterattack as soon as possible at this moment.

"The Shu army came over the mountains and mountains, and there are definitely not many troops there. I personally led 3,000 elite soldiers to rush to the rescue, and I will definitely be able to defeat the thief soldiers! ”

"General Pan, don't attack rashly if you don't know the reality of the Shu army." Zhu Ran is a little more stable than Pan Zhang, and he does not advocate rash attacks.

If this is a trap, it is easy to be ambushed if you attack rashly.

"Is there a choice now? If something happens to General Sun, do you think the Supreme will let us go? Pan Zhang shook his head and said very resolutely.

"The governor is still gathering troops in Gangneung, and he can't count on it in a short time. If we sit back and watch General Sun have an accident, the Supreme will definitely have to blame us! ”

"This pavilion must be saved!"

Regarding Pan Zhang's attitude, Zhu Ran could only reluctantly agree. In fact, it is true that Sun Huan is a member of the Sun family, and they are afraid that they will have to wear small shoes after they sit back and watch the relatives of the leader being surrounded.

Not everyone is like Lu Xun, who has a deep background and is not afraid of the anger of the leader.

After urgently mobilizing the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, Pan Zhang personally led 3,000 soldiers and horses from Yidao and went straight to Yiting.

And Zhu Ran continued to defend Yidao with 5,000 soldiers and horses as the last insurance.

Pan Zhang's 3,000 soldiers and horses came straight to the pavilion, but what he didn't know was that Ma Tan's 2,000 soldiers and horses also rushed all the way.

Yidao and Yaoting are not far apart, and the road is so narrow that there is obviously no room for manoeuvre. Scouts from both sides soon spotted each other's tracks on the avenue and immediately reported it.

"Look, I'll just say that the Dongwu rats are arrogant, no, let's take it seriously." Ma Tan got the battle report and said with a happy smile.

"Generals, charge with me!"

"Kill!!" The Wudang Fei Army under his command is an elite led by Meng Guo, and he is very confident in Ma Yan's divine might. When General Kamui gave the order to charge, all the barbarians shouted excitedly.

At the same time, Pan Zhang's scouts also sent war reports to Pan Zhang.

"General! The Shu army should have spotted us and are rushing towards us at full speed! Adjutant General Ma Zhong arched his hand and reported to Pan Zhangyu.

"At this moment, we are defending according to the mountain, and when the Shu army arrives and descends from the heights, we will definitely defeat the Shu army!"

"What to keep! Didn't you hear that the Lord on the other side would be Ma Yan! How can we Dongwu warriors be afraid of Shu dogs! Pan Zhang didn't care at all, and ordered directly.

"The whole army will attack with me! I'm going to kill the enemy and win the first merit this time! ”

Pan Zhang is a person who likes merit, is greedy for money and lustful, and for him, money and merit are the greatest pursuit in life.

That Guan Yu only beheaded Yan Liang once, and he became famous all over the world. If he, Pan Zhang, can kill that powerful Ma Yan, he Pan Zhang can also become a generation of famous generals!

After all, now that we meet on a narrow road, only the brave can win!
