Chapter 321: Cover the people to retreat first
"General, now the soldiers and horses of the puppet Wei are attacking from the northeast and two directions, and their troops seem to be quite a lot."
After the Han army entered Kunyang, Ma Jian gathered all the information and reconvened a team meeting.
Now there are three people around Ma Tan, one is the deputy general Wang Ping, the other is the general Ma Zhong, and the other is the junior general Jufu.
A total of three generals, less than 20,000 Han troops, need to rely on two places in Kunyang Ye County to resist the counterattack of Cao Wei's follow-up soldiers and horses. This has to be said to be a very difficult task, but it is something that the Han army must face.
"Now, judging from the speed, the Wei army in the north will arrive in advance. However, in the east, although the Huainan Wei army went up the river a little slowly, it would not be too late. According to the information, Wang Ping gave Ma Jian a detailed calculation of the time account.
"At most, there is a difference of a few days between them and the front, and the Wei armies on both sides are elite, so for now, we basically have no chance to break them individually."
"In the past two years, I have been blasting Wei dogs every day, and it would be strange if they were defenseless." Ma Jian didn't care, he knew better than Wang Ping how much his opponent valued him.
"They don't fall to their deaths in a pit and are naturally wary of us. So you don't have to think about taking the initiative to attack, each one is broken, just honestly consider the matter of defending the city. ”
"This time, I will personally supervise Kunyang and lead the troops to have a hard encounter with the Wei army in Kunyang. Wang Ping was responsible for guarding Ye County and ensuring that the Wei army would not steal it. ”
"General, this time the Wei army is strong, and it is estimated that it is extremely dangerous to defend Kunyang. Why don't you let me guard Kunyang, general, you are responsible for guarding Ye County. Wang Ping hesitated for a moment, looked at Ma Yan's face and cautiously suggested.
"Such a dangerous thing, general, you ......"
"Go, go, what do you think! If I don't take the lead in this kind of thing, do I want others to die? Ma Yan waved his hand and rejected Wang Ping's proposal.
"And Ye County is also very important, and it also needs to be guarded by the big future. Zijun, you are now a veteran general in the army, and you must be in charge here. ”
"As for Kunyang, you don't have to worry. I regard the Wei army as a mustard, what is there to be afraid of? ”
Seeing that Ma Jian insisted on defending the city in Kunyang in person, Wang Ping also closed his mouth.
The generals have given orders, so he has no choice but to obey them.
Ma Jian then assigned the task, and the young general Jufu followed Wang Ping to guard Ye County. Ma Jian took Ma Zhong to take charge of Kunyang, and led more than 10,000 troops to meet the Wei army head-on.
Because of the large number of soldiers and horses of the Wei army, Ma Jian was ready to defend the city from the beginning.
When everything was arranged, Ma Tan was ready to instruct the generals to prepare to defend the city. However, at this time, an adjutant general stepped forward and reported something to Ma Yan.
"General, the old people of the new wilderness you mentioned a few days ago are not finished yet. Many people have just cleaned up and have not yet arrived in Ye County. ”
"What? Not done yet? Ma Jian was slightly stunned, but it was normal to think about it for a while.
It has been less than seven days since the Cai Han army arrived in Yexian, and it is indeed normal for these people who were forcibly relocated to the north to not finish.
However, at this time, Ma Jian thought of a very serious problem.
The Wei army arrived immediately, and with the speed at which these people fled, it was likely impossible to escape before they arrived. If you don't succeed in escaping, you will most likely be conscripted on the spot to serve as a man, or even if there is not enough food......
Ahem, probably not.
Thinking of this, Ma Tan's expression suddenly became serious. Then he turned around and re-entered the room, immediately overturning the previous deployment,
"Don't be in a hurry to prepare to defend the city, we have to confront the Wei army for a few days and delay the time! There are many people in the old days of Xinye who have not yet been cleaned, and if they fall into the hands of the Wei people, they will basically be finished! ”
Wang Ping had not yet left, and when he saw that General Zhengbei had gone and returned, and as soon as he returned, he was about to revise the deployment again, and he was stunned for a moment.
"For the sake of some people, general, you have to personally send troops to confront the Wei army? This ......"
Since ancient times, I have never heard of anyone sending troops to cover for the safety of the people, and even Wang Ping does not understand. Especially since these people still fled spontaneously, and it was not the imperial court that moved Tuntian, there was no need to take such a risk.
But Ma Jian didn't see it that way, and directly changed the new combat deployment.
"These people all fled with the emperor across the Han River in the past. If we give up on them, the only popular support that our Han army has in Nanyang will be lost. ”
What's more, the first emperor once said, "The great affairs of the husband must be people-oriented." "We are all Hanchen, how can we abandon the Han people?"
"Needless to say, I personally led the troops into battle, and I must cover the safe withdrawal of the people from the war zone!"

At this moment, the vanguard of the Wei army in the north had entered the territory of Yingchuan and arrived at the father city, which was only more than 100 miles away from Kunyang. And Qin Lang, the general of the Wei army, also received a battle report from the front line, and Kunyang had been lost.
"The Shu army sent troops to Wudang this time, and quickly sent troops to seize Kunyang, it seems that they plan to swallow the entire Nanyang." Qin Lang received the battle report from the front line, squinted his eyes and began to analyze the next situation.
He was now Cao Wei's hussar general, but he didn't actually lead a single army. Cao Rui sent him this time, in fact, he was gilded and led the troops on his behalf, and the real main force had to look at the favored Huainan Army.
It's hard to say that Cao Rui is embarrassed, last year he transferred all the generals who could fight in the Kanto region to the west. As a result, Ma Jian suddenly came out of Nanyang, and Cao Rui had no one available for a while, so he could only pull Qin Lang out and top it.
Qin Lang is cautious by nature and low-key, so Cao Rui is assured that he will not wave in front of Ma Yan.
It is true that after Qin Lang heard that Kunyang had fallen, he quickly entered his father's city and did not continue to advance. Later, a number of scouts were sent to inquire about the information and see what the Han army was planning now.
Soon the scouts passed back the battle report from the front,
"The Shu army did not defend the city, but divided its troops into three routes and rushed towards the father city?" Qin Lang was taken aback by this information, especially when he saw that the Han army was only a few dozen miles away from his father's city, his heart suddenly sudden.
Could it be that the Han army didn't come to rob Nanyang, but planned to go straight to Huanglong to Luoyang to petition?
This year quickly flashed through Qin Lang's mind, making this Cao Wei's hussar general nervous all of a sudden.
If it was replaced by someone else, such as the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu, Qin Lang might not care. But Ma Jian has been too dazzling in recent years, and he has done a lot of "impossible" things.
What's more, because Cao Wei did a sparse account of the intelligence of Shu Han, the number of troops sent by the Han army is not clear now.
What if this time this time this master is bringing the main force in Shuzhong, and he is really going to Luoyang?
Qin Lang quickly made a decision,
"The whole army is guarding the father's city, send people to warn the rear, and those who dare to abandon the city and flee will be killed!"
"No matter what, you can't let the Shu army steal the Father City!"
