In the spring of the tenth year of Jianxing, Liangzhou assassinated the history, and Ma Tan, the general of the Han Expedition to the north, sent out 10,000 cavalry, and the soldiers were divided into three routes to conquer Beidi County.

Among them, Ma Jian ordered Jiang Wei and Shu Ji to lead 4,000 cavalry and more than 1,000 flying troops respectively, and went straight to the hinterland of Beidi County from Zumao in Yuzhong. They divided their troops into two directions and attacked the Qianghu tribe that had been crippled in Beidi County.

Ma Jian personally led 2,000 troops and led the general Zhang Wei to the northern part of Beidi County.

10,000 Han cavalry, under the deployment of Ma Yan, divided into three routes and quickly launched an attack.

Jiang Wei first set out from Zuli and led his troops directly to the grasslands of the northern Yellow River, where the Qianghu tribe was entrenched. Under his command, the 5,000 cavalry was like a bamboo, successively breaking through several Hu people, and attacking the old city of Beidi County.

One hundred years after the fall of Northland County, the city in Northland County still stands on the Hetao Plain. It's just that the owners of the city are no longer Han people, but the Hu people in the north.

This is also why Ma Jian wanted to borrow the Wudang Flying Army from Zhuge Liang, and it was difficult for a simple 4,000 cavalry to capture the city.

Jiang Wei led 5,000 troops to attack the old city in the south of Beidi County, and set up a banner battle in the north of the city, bluffing. When the main force of the Hu people in the city who were frightened was exhausted and came to the north of the city to guard, Jiang Wei ordered a thousand Wudang flying troops to raid the city.

After only more than ten days, Jiang Wei's side achieved extremely dazzling results. Then Jiang Wei took advantage of the victory to pursue, and like Ma Yan, he chased and fought fiercely with the iron cavalry of his headquarters, not giving Hu Ren a chance to breathe at all.

On the other way, Shu Ji is not as lucky as Jiang Wei. He led 5,000 cavalry to break through from Yuzhong, and when the army reached the middle of Beidi County, he found that something bad was wrong, and he came into the enemy's lair!

Liu Hu, the king of Qiang in Beidi County, was killed by Ma Tan, but his troops did not disperse. A group of Hu people embraced his younger brother as the new king of Qiang, and were sacrificing to the heavens for the new king.

Shu Ji led his soldiers and horses to kill him, and crashed headlong into the enemy's main force. He was attacked head-on by Huma and had to retreat dozens of miles to build a camp and defend it.

However, Shu Ji has been extremely good at small corps raids for many years, so he quickly divided into small groups of cavalry and personally led troops to attack and harass the Hu people. When the enemy retreated, he pressed up and attacked, and Huma immediately fled after him.

Because it was early spring, Huma's animal power was at a low ebb, and it could not compete with Han horses at all. This caused the Hu people to face Shu Ji's attack and harassment, and there was no way to pursue them at all. And if you attack the Han army camp, you will be attacked by the Han army's crossbows.

Moreover, Shu Ji, as the earliest cavalry general to follow Ma Yan, is very good at the strategy of scattering and circling it, gathering and annihilating it. On a night without the sun, he suddenly led the main force to raid the camp of the Hu people, and then swept the defeated Hu people all over the world.

All in all, the Hu people of Beidi County were caught off guard by Jiang Weishuji's two-way army. Soon, the Qianghu Alliance of Beidi County sent people north to ask for help from the Qianghu of the Yanmen Counties of Shuofang Wuyuan.

And when the armies of Shuji and Jiang Wei attacked frequently, Ma Tan led two thousand cavalry to go first and quickly went north. After several days of long running, breaking through the Hu cavalry along the way, Ma Tan arrived at his destination, Table Mountain.

Whether it is going south from Shuofang County, or rushing from Wuyuan Yanmen to help, you need to pass through Table Mountain. This place is backed by Helan Mountain on the border of Wuwei, and there is Lian County in the south to hoard grain and grass.

Therefore, Ma Tan's plan was to garrison Table Hill and block Huma's southbound road from the north.

After arriving at Table Mountain, Ma Tan quickly began to camp according to the mountain's terrain. Of course, Zhang Wei is responsible for these things, and Ma Jian himself will not be careful.

Ma Jian has to bring a capable lieutenant with him every time he goes out. It's not that he doesn't want to die alone, but Lao Ma doesn't like those tedious and headache military affairs very much, so he likes to bring a veteran to put himself in the array.

If Ma Tan led the troops to travel by himself, the upper limit of the army was estimated to be 5,000. No matter how much Ma Jian himself has, he may not be able to understand that both his combat effectiveness and marching speed will be affected.

However, after throwing the military affairs to Zhang Wei, Ma Jian found that the ability of the Zhenbei general in the late Shu Han period was even stronger than Liu Yin. The camp is not only measured, but also extremely orderly.

"This Zhang Wei's ability seems to be underestimated." Ma Tan looked at this sub-camp, touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"But now, I have to find a way to break him away, and I can't let Zhang Wei obstruct my plan to die!"

With such an SSR in the back, it is difficult for Ma Jian to say whether his plan will be affected. After all, as long as he was not killed on the spot, there was a high probability that he would be rescued.

"General Zhengbei! In the north of the Malay newspaper, a large number of Hu horses appeared. At this time, Ma Tan's personal guards rushed back on horseback and reported to Ma Tan.

"It seems that it is Hu Qi who is preparing to go south, and its scale is at least tens of thousands of people."

"Really? Coming to life so soon? Ma Jian was overjoyed, and suddenly stood up and was about to go out.

"Wait, General, the Malay report that there is something wrong with these Huma!" The guards saw that their general was going to go to the pig to advance again, and hurriedly chased after him to replenish it.

"Questions? What's the problem? Ma Tan paused, turned around and frowned and asked.

The general Huma is basically a cookie-cutter group of archers, and there is nothing new at all. However, this time Tanma suddenly reported it, which made Ma Jian a little surprised.

"This group of Hu people is not all cavalry, and there are a lot of infantry and chariots in between. Its military formations are relatively neat and neat, and they all have the color of the Han system. The guard looked serious, and said to Ma Jian with his hand.

"There are infantry? Got a tank? Is there still a military formation rule to follow on the march? A hint of consternation flashed in Ma Tan's eyes...... And just a little.

I have to say that it is indeed surprising that these Hu people in the north suddenly have the military system of the Han people, and there are still a large number of infantry. But for Ma Yan, this is nothing at all, it is just that it is not easy to smoke.

After a brief hesitation, Ma Jian made a quick decision.

Zhang Wei led 1,000 cavalry to be stationed in the camp and was responsible for staying in the camp. And Ma Tan personally commanded the cavalry to quickly go north, preparing to face the strange Hu cavalry.

Before leaving, Ma Jian instructed Zhang Wei and emphasized one point.

"In this battle, I will personally defeat the Hu people and crush their offensive. No matter what happens, you can't support me! ”

"Remember, you can't support at any time!"

After emphasizing his military order to Zhang Wei, Ma Jian turned over and waved his hand.

"Men of the Han Dynasty, follow me north to defeat the Qianghu people! Feng Wolf Juxu, just today! ”

"Kill! Kill all the Hu people! This group of Qiangqi people from Longyou shouted excitedly along with Ma Tan.

This scene reminded Ma Jian of seeing a netizen with an IP in Xinjiang shouting "kill the Huns" in his previous life.

It's really interesting (Sociology +3)

Just as Ma Jian led the enthusiastic Han cavalry out of the camp, a figure flashed behind Zhang Wei.

Zhang ...... General Zhang Zhang, this military ...... Military merit must be ...... Hold on! ”
