Ma Tan didn't know that the death plan designed by his various branch generals and even the cavalry of his headquarters was completely lifted by Deng Fan in less than a stick of incense.

Ma Tan's initial plan was very simple, that is, to send out the elite soldiers, and he would die with a very small number of troops.

With Zhang Wei as the main force, he was stationed on the road to the south of Huma to protect the grain road of the headquarters. Jiang Wei and Shu Ji each led thousands of troops, attacked the rear of the enemy around the rear, and attacked the Hu soldiers with Zhang Wei in front and back.

As for Ma Tan himself, he only took more than 1,000 infantry and the Qianghu cavalry to camp a hundred miles away from Zhang Wei. This arrangement is ostensibly a strategy, but in fact it is constantly hovering on the dead line.

At a distance of more than 100 miles, if Budugen was ruthless and wanted to attack him, even if Zhang Wei led the troops to fly, he would not have time to rescue. and only relied on a thousand infantry and a few thousand unreturned Hu people to fight tens of thousands of Xianbei main forces......

How is this possible to win? I don't believe it myself!

But it doesn't matter if Ma Jian doesn't believe it, Ma Jian believes Jiang Wei and they will definitely believe it. By dividing them in this way, Ma Jian himself can be attacked by the veteran at any time and then wither.

After preparing the soldiers and horses and outfits, Ma Jian did not investigate the origin of the previous cold. The confident general of Zhengbei took more than 4,000 soldiers and horses and officially headed west.

At the same time as Ma Jian set off, Jiang Weishuji, Zhang Wei and others also quickly prepared their troops and prepared to go out. However, their arrangement of the battle situation has been slightly different from Ma Yan's deployment......

At the same time, the main force of Xianbei led by Budugen in the north has begun to move south.

Ma Tan's guess was right, Budugen was indeed already a frightened bird.

Because Ma Tan was rampant in Longyou before, his record in the northwest was also mixed, and Budugen was also a little heard. But at the beginning, no one took the entire so-called Kamui General seriously.

Even if it was Ma Chao back then, he had to be slapped twice when he came to the north, let alone you.

But when Ma Tan defeated Kebineng, the Han army pacified Beidi County in three months, and all the Hu people in the north were afraid. Everyone knows that Ma Tan likes to kill everything, and his name of going north is to rob Shuofang County, but the ghost knows if Ma Tan is piggybacking on his feet to clean up his steps.

Therefore, after Budugen heard that the Han army was heading north, he did not say a word about requisitioning all the combatable men of the tribe, and formed tens of thousands of people to go south to resist the Han army. He personally led 30,000 elite cavalry first, and the follow-up troops followed, basically smashing all the family money to play with your horse.

"Yu Danyu, the main force of the Southern Shu Army is divided into four routes. One way to the west to garrison, all the way to the place to guard, the other two roads have disappeared! ”

"Nowhere to be found! What do you eat? When Bu Dugen heard this, he immediately became angry.

"I didn't send you out to scout the enemy! The gang of southerners were divided into four soldiers, and two of them were gone. ”

"If they are ambushed in some position and cause my war to be defeated, can you be held responsible?"

"Go and investigate me immediately, don't come back to see me if you can't find out the enemy!"

Budugen fiercely reprimanded the inactive Tanma, and then took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He must deal with it calmly at this moment, and if he is not careful, he will be calculated by those cunning Han people.

Although these scouts are all waste, they still sent some information after all. After Bu Dugen suppressed his anger, he learned more about the intelligence of the Han army.

"Ma Tan led thousands of soldiers and horses to camp westward? And with three thousand cavalry? Budugen narrowed his eyes and instantly understood something.

"Is he planning to face our army head-on? Take Zhang Wei as a strategy, and the other two are harassment? ”

According to rumors, Ma Jian basically led less than 5,000 troops. The fewer troops and horses, the more impressive their achievements become, and they often win more with less. If there are infantry among the soldiers and horses he leads, it means that Ma Jian is going to hold a big one.

So when he learned that Ma Jian personally brought 3,000 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, Bu Dugen immediately guessed that Ma Jian planned to face it in person. As for the specific composition of the cavalry led by Ma Yan...... Ma Tan started by relying on the Qianghu cavalry, and the three thousand Hu cavalry are obviously the main force of his headquarters!

Frontal stiffness...... It is said that Kebi can take 20,000 elites with his headquarters, but he was defeated by Ma Tan head-on.

He was very clear about the combat power of Kebineng's own soldiers and horses, and Kebineng used a chariot to drive him out of Yanmen. Even Kebi can't beat Ma Jian head-on, so there is a high probability that he will be taken down.

As soon as he thought of this, Budugen immediately knew what he should do next.

"The southern soldiers are going north with the power of great victory, and they must be seeking a quick battle! We should go deep into the ditch and high the fortification, hold on without fighting, and send scattered cavalry to cut off their grain routes, and within a hundred days these southerners will definitely run out of food and return! ”

made a decision, Budugen put on a winning appearance, and began to talk nonsense to his subordinates,

"At that time, we will follow behind and pursue Lian Zhan without letting him rest, and we will win a great victory!"

"It's ridiculous that Na Kebi can claim to know the Han people best, but he was defeated by such a southern soldier, it's ridiculous!"

Budugen's attitude calmed many frightened subordinates, and the morale of the Xianbei army then stabilized.

Subsequently, under the command of Bu Dugen, these Hu cavalry went east to find a hillside with mountains, rivers and grasslands and camped. Tens of thousands of Xianbei and strong people were stationed here in this way, preparing to converge with the follow-up troops in deep ditches and high bases to survive the horses.

However, at this time, the Han army, which he believed was responsible for containing the guerrillas, directly began to act.

…………

…………

In the Qianghu rear army, more than 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people are guarding cattle, sheep, grain and grass, and supervising the transportation to the front line.

Unlike the Hu people and the Central Plains Dynasty, they didn't need logistics most of the time. Hu Bing originally had both combat and herding tasks, and the elderly, weak, women and children could also ride horses and herd herds, so they did not need additional manpower.

And their food is all cattle and sheep that can eat grass and live, and if they can't do it, they can still kill horses for food.

Most of the time, when the Hu soldiers fought, there would be a group of old and weak people not far from the rear who would be responsible for supervising the transportation of cattle and sheep to the barracks. When the Hu people were not fighting, they would find pastures near the barracks to graze, and did not consider the issue of grain routes at all.

This is also the reason why Budu Gen dares to have a high base in the deep ditch with Ma Tan. After all, Ma Tan needs logistics, and he doesn't need to do it, and he still has a certain advantage in fighting at home.

However, when this group of logistics teams was transporting a large number of cattle and sheep to the front line, suddenly under dusk, a raging fire broke out in front of the side!

On the prairie, it was the end of spring and summer, and the fire suddenly appeared like a ghost. Taking advantage of the wind, the flames spread all at once.

This suddenly made these old and weak Hu people panic, and hurriedly drove the cattle and sheep to avoid the fire. However, as soon as their team dispersed and had not yet regrouped, countless figures suddenly appeared from the side of the firelight!
