"The Shu army is forcibly crossing the thorny water? Ma Tan: This is coming for us? ”

At this time, Wang Chang, who was in the army of Dingling, received the battle report from the front line, and everyone was a little stunned.

The Shu army stationed in Kunyang suddenly left the city and prepared to force a crossing of the thorny water under the noses of tens of thousands of Wei troops in Dingling. Moreover, in order to cross the river safely, Ma Tan personally led 500 cavalry and 2,000 infantry to cross the thorny water one step ahead of the water, and set up camp against the water.

Although Wang Chang is not very good at military ability, he is not blind. Your Ma Tan is so arrogant, even if Sima Zhao comes, he can react.

"General Yu, now the Shu army is building a shipbuilding in the thorny water, building a pontoon bridge and preparing to cross the river. At this rate, it only takes two days for the Shu army to build a bridge to cross the river. ”

The general reported to Wang Chang the battle report on the front, emphasizing that the Shu army was about to cross the river. If the Shu army successfully crosses the river, the 20,000 Shu army plus a powerful Ma Jian in Huaxia, with the strength of Dingling, may not be able to stop this lord's offensive.

Look, what is this worried about, with 50,000 people sitting on the fortified city, the result is afraid of the 20,000 Shu army like this. If this is given to Ma Jian with 100,000 troops, it is difficult to say whether these Cao Wei commanders will directly abandon the city and flee.

"They must be stopped! If we let the Shu army cross the river, it will be difficult for us to drive them out of Yingchuan! Wang Chang's expression was solemn, his face was a little ugly, he had to find a way at this moment.

Dingling and Xiangcheng are the two cities in the west of Yingchuan, facing Kunyang across the river. If these two cities are lost, the road to Xuchang further east will be flat!

His Majesty has already taken the imperial expedition in person, and will immediately go to Xuchang to personally supervise the battle. What if Ma Tan crossed the river and rushed to Xuchang with the cavalry to play the beheading operation?

The more I think about it, the more terrible it becomes, and I must hurry back to drive Ma Jian back.

But the general of the "......" ministry was embarrassed in the face of this order,

"Envoy, the vanguard of the Shu army crossing the river in advance has more than 2,000 people, and it is personally commanded by the Shu general Ma Tan. With Ma Tan here, I'm afraid that if the troops are small, it is very likely that the Shu army will be defeated and won......"

"So the task of eradicating Ma Jian will be entrusted to you, and I will personally supervise the rear army to guard the grain road." Wang Chang nodded sympathetically, and then patted the general's shoulder and quickly ordered,

General: "??? ”

"You are my most valued subordinate, and your ability and attitude are very good, but it is difficult to be in a high position because of your low background." Wang Chang didn't seem to see the bewildered expression of his subordinates, and he was extremely skilled in throwing the pot with a set of qualities.

"Although Ma Jian himself is good at fighting, he preempts the cavalry advance. And at this moment, Ma Tan only took 2,000 infantry to cross the river, and it was the time to insert the bid and sell the head, which was a godsend! ”

"Such a great achievement is here, and you can get the treatment of Wanhu Hou by killing Ma Yan. I'll give you this credit, go and kill Ma Yan, and I'll personally show your majesty the credit for you. ”

"By the way, even if you don't kill Ma Jian and die in battle, it doesn't matter, your wife will raise her, and you have no worries!"

General: "......"

Why didn't you find out that Jun-kun was the same as a dog before?

…………

Since his debut, none of the generals who have played against him have ended well. Even if you don't suffer a loss on the battlefield, all sorts of outrageous things will happen that will make you extremely unlucky.

For example, Lu Xun, the governor of Eastern Wu next door, only communicated with Ma Tan once during Zhuge Liang's Eastern Expedition, and never met him on the battlefield. As a result, rumors have spread in Jiangdong in recent years, although it has not reached the point of notoriety, but it is not easy.

Wang Chang is more superstitious, so he doesn't touch this kind of. Throw it to the vanguard to fight, and just pretend to be a transparent person and hide behind to watch the play.

If you can win, it is because you know people, and the first credit is mine. If I lose, it's the part-time worker's fault, and I'll be jointly and severally liable.

All in all, don't underestimate these old fritters from a family of officialdom. The ability to do things may not be very good, but the ability to shirk responsibility is definitely comparable to that of a loach.

Subsequently, under Wang Chang's arrangement, the Wei army sent 30,000 troops, and his own general Wang Sheng was the vanguard to drive Ma Jian to the thorny water. He personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to follow, nominally to guard the grain road, but in fact he came to see the play.

As long as the situation is not good, Wang Chang will turn around and run away with people.

In this way, the 40,000 Wei troops before and after, under the deployment of Wang Chang, rushed from Dingling to drive the Shu army back to Kunyang, which had crossed the thorny water.

In this era, the army crossing the river is a delicate job, and the slightest carelessness is easy to confuse the team. Especially in the middle of the river crossing, the troops will be in an extremely vulnerable state.

The soldiers who crossed the river could not form a formation for a while, the team was in a loose moment, and the main force had not yet crossed the river, and this situation was called a half-crossing.

Those who have read the art of war generally know the strategy of attacking half-crossing. If you're lucky, you might even use this as an opportunity to break down the enemy.

It is precisely for this reason that before crossing the river, it is generally necessary to send vanguard troops to cross the river in small boats at night and establish a beachhead on the other side of the river.

And this time, the person in charge of the pioneer crossing the river was naturally led by the powerless literati Ma Yan.

Because of the flooding of the three armies, the cavalry of Ma Tan's headquarters suffered too great losses, and most of the survivors were recuperating from their wounds, so Ma Jian could not take one or two thousand cavalry to cross the river first to indulge. Without hardware support, and with too few troops, Wang Ping would not let him go, so Ma Jian could only gather 2,000 old troops in Jingzhou to follow.

This time, Ma Tan crossed the river first, and Ma Tan brought 2,000 infantry and 500 cavalry, of which there were only more than 100 cavalry in the headquarters. The overall quality of the army is too far behind that of Ma Tan's headquarters, which makes Ma Jian feel ...... It's wonderful!

This kind of extremely insecure situation has not been experienced by Ma Jian for a long time.

"It seems that it is right to take the initiative to attack, this army has such a good chance to die before it has crossed the river." Ma Jian nodded slightly, and had already begun to think about how to deploy in the future to make the war situation smooth and fall into a dead situation.

Pulling Liu Yin on is also an insurance for yourself. With this great talent, even if he dies, Liu Yin has the ability to bring the 20,000 Shu troops back to Kunyang safe and sound.

"General! The Wei army came out of Dingling, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses came! While Ma Tan was pondering, the scout suddenly rushed back. Urgently report to Ma Tanyu.

"They really can't hold it back, it's good to come." Ma Tan smiled slightly and waved his hand confidently.

"So far, the Wei army has always believed that our horse is good at cavalry combat, and is short of assault blitzkrieg and infantry combat. This is a proper stereotype, I have to correct them! ”

"Pass my orders and form a formation to meet the enemy!"

This time, Ma Jian prepared a small gift for Wei Jun, intending to open Wang Chang's eyes.
