Chapter 340: Plans for the Southeast
Tens of thousands of people in Wang Ling's department are still stationed in Cai at this moment, and he does not dare to move for a short time.
For Ma Yan, it was fast enough to scare Wang Ling away and force Qin Lang down. But judging from the current war situation, this speed is still far from enough.
The reason is simple, because now Soochow has sent troops. What's even more terrifying is that although they have a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses, they besieged Hefei with just 100,000 people.
Of course, the most terrifying thing is that the commander-in-chief of these 100,000 people is the second son of our Eastern Wu Sun!
Hefei, 100,000, Sun Quan, these labels are mixed together, and it is easy for people to have some bad imagination.
In fact, Ma Tan had already received some news that the siege of Hefei by the Eastern Wu army would not last for a long time. On the Cao Wei side, Qingzhou Beijia Wang Ji has already led the army to Shouchun, and it is not far from Hefei......
Now, it is the stage of Cao Wei's famous general Wang Ji......
Once Sun Quan returned from a defeat in Hefei, Lu Xun of Lujiang had to withdraw his troops immediately, no matter how good his progress was. Otherwise, it is easy to encounter the joint attack of Shouchun and Runan, and it is bound to be defeated.
As soon as Lu Xun withdrew his troops, Eastern Wu basically retreated on all fronts, and the pressure on the entire Cao-Wei-Huainan theater would drop sharply. And the front line of Runan is no longer the front line in an instant, and it is of little significance for Wang Ling Gongwei to defend this place.
After all, Wang Ling led 50,000 people south to Runan in order to prevent Ma Tan from making chaos and uniting Runan with Eastern Wu. If Eastern Wu was repulsed, there would be no need for Runan to defend it with heavy troops.
At that time, Wang Ling is likely to directly abandon the entire Runan, turn around and go back to lead the troops of Xuchang Dingling to attack Kunyang.
Although Wang Ping is good at defending, Kunyang does not have the danger of mountains and rivers, and there are not many defenders in Kunyang, so Wang Ping may not be able to resist it.
If Kunyang falls, all the efforts of Ma Tan in the past two or three months, and the sacrifices of countless Han soldiers will be in vain.
Therefore, Ma Jian had to inflict heavy damage or stumble on Wang Ling before Sun Quan's army was defeated in Hefei, so that he could not quickly return to Dingling and join the army to attack Kunyang.
At that time, it will continue to delay time and wait for Zhang Yi's side to break through Wancheng.
"Looking at you like this, it seems that you already have a plan?" Zhang He raised his eyebrows, looked at Ma Tan's expression of preparing to do a big job, and asked calmly.
Zhang He knows Ma Jian well, and most of the time this kid has his own ideas. At this time, he is definitely ready to say this.
"That's nature, how can I be unprepared?" Ma Tan smiled and said to Zhang He while spreading out the map of Runan.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang He asked.
"Actually, it's not difficult, Lao Zhang, do you remember how I won the battle when I was in the street pavilion?"
"Huh??" Zhang He's eyes looked at Ma Yan's eyes and instantly became unkind, and his whole face changed.
Which pot doesn't open and which pot is not mentioned, right?
In his life, Zhang He suffered two big losses, one was defeated by Zhang Fei at Wakou Pass, and the other was played by Ma Yan in the street pavilion and applauded.
This is the most unspeakable point of Zhang He, it is too embarrassing.
"Ahem...... I'm not trying to expose the scars, I'm just trying to illustrate the tactics. Ma Jian scratched his head and coughed lightly twice in embarrassment.
It's broken, forgetting that the street pavilion is its own highlight, but the opponent at that time is in front of you.
"All in all, this time I still plan to follow the same path as last time, and divide my troops into five ways to detour behind Wang Ling. The soldiers and horses of the five roads were stationed in different places to confuse Wang Ling! ”
"The soldiers were divided into five routes, and they were stationed near Ancheng in Runan, and then blocked Wang Ling's grain road. At the same time, the distance between the various divisions should not be too far or too close, and they all defended according to the danger to avoid fighting head-on with the Wei army. ”
"At that time, if Wang Ling also divides his troops into five ways and attacks him, then I can personally lead the headquarters to attack him and break Wang Ling's headquarters in one fell swoop!"
At this moment, Ma Tan only has more than 14,000 people on hand, and Zhang He needs to divide his troops to garrison Tunwuyin, and the troops that can be invested are only 10,000.
But coincidentally, the soldiers and horses commanded by Wang Ling on the opposite side happened to be 50,000.
10,000 to 50,000, Ma Tan seems to dream back to the day when he entered the street pavilion.
However, this time, his goal is no longer to simply defend against danger (it seems that it was not last time), but to find a way to stumble and even hit Wang Ling hard.
In this way, Ma Tan could not only defend in the dangerous place of Wuyin, he had to go to the Runan Plain to station. Find a territory near Ancheng that can resist the counterattack of Wang Ling's army, and cut off Wang Ling's return route and grain route to prevent Wang Ling from returning north.
This is very difficult because the roads in Runan are well connected and the logistics network is very smooth. Even if Ma Jian was stuck in one way, Wang Ling could transport grain from other directions.
Therefore, Ma Jian wanted to cut off his grain route and force Wang Ling to stay in Runan and fight with him, which was not an easy task.
So after thinking about it for a long time, Ma Jian finally came up with his old plan.
The troops were divided into five routes, all of which held the banner of "Han Zhengbei General Horse" and stationed in Runan. On the various traffic arteries, deep ditches and high fortifications, and the strong walls did not come out to cut off Wang Ling's grain routes.
The Ma Tan was in the center to observe, and led the light cavalry of the headquarters to patrol everywhere as a ranger.
If Wang Ling raised a large army to attack one by one, Ma Jian would lead the guerrillas to rush to help! Through bluffing and night raids, he harassed the rear of the Wei army, making it impossible for Wang Ling to encircle the Han army.
If Wang Ling divided his troops to besiege the Han army, Ma Jian personally led the guerrillas to take the initiative to attack, and like the Weinan Quick War, the first battle broke the Wei army like a string of sugar gourds.
If Wang Ling chose to go deep and high with the Shu army, Ma Jian would continue to confront him for a long time.
All in all, as long as the time drags on, Ma Jian has already won.
Ma Yan's strategy is similar to the principle of Jiang Wei's strategy of gathering troops and gathering valleys in the original history. It is through the persistence of various troops to contain the enemy army, and liberate the elite to attack and break through.
Of course, the two of them have similar principles, and the problems they face are the same. Wang Ling had nearly 50,000 men in his hands, and Ma Yan's available troops were only more than 10,000 and he had to divide his troops.
Broken down into various places, there are fewer troops at their disposal.
In case Wang Ling suddenly made a little decisive, the large army poured out a quick battle to besiege it. Ma Tan's guerrillas estimated that it would be difficult to rush to the battlefield quickly, and it was likely that the Han troops stationed there would be eaten.
Zhang He also saw this situation, and looked at Ma Jian with some concern,
"You're a little too risky, aren't you? You dare to such a big plate at this point? If Wang Ling sees through your reality, you and these 10,000 soldiers and horses will die without a place to be buried! ”
"Go and go, don't say these words to me, do we have any other choice?" Ma Jian waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly,
"But as long as Dongwu can give some strength, I won't take such a risk."
"But in general, it's not a big problem, if I do this, I can at least delay Wang Ling for a month. At that time, even if my army is defeated and killed, when Wang Ling rushes back to Dingling, Wancheng should be captured, right? ”
"For the sake of the whole battle, it's all worth it!"
I just came home from Chengdu today, and I found that the plot of the original plan was not very good, and I overturned and rectified it again, so I couldn't write the third chapter......
After a night of rectification, it was very uncomfortable
