Chapter 359: Soldiers enter Yingchuan

Wang Sheng realized something bad when he saw Ma Jian rushing all the way, and the already dispersed front army was not enough to stop Ma Tan.

Although I don't know how Ma Tan did it, the fact is that the former army has collapsed. A large number of soldiers trampled on each other and scattered, and Ma Jian himself was killed.

What does this mean? It means it's time for him to run!

He is a general, and he has no core interests to play with his life. Wang Sheng didn't say a word, and after hearing that Wang Chang ran away, he also turned around and ran away with his personal guards.

The Wei army was defeated, but the Chinese army still maintained the formation, and Ma Tan's attempt to break through was hindered to a certain extent. In such a short period of time, it is enough for Wang Sheng to slip away.

By the time Ma Tan broke through the eightfold defense line of the Wei army non-stop and rushed all the way to the Chinese army, Wang Sheng had already disappeared. There was nothing in the same place except for a handsome flag fluttering.

"These Wei people are really fast enough!" Ma Tan was a little speechless, so he could only cut down the handsome banner casually, and then led the cavalry to turn around and start to attack the military formation.

After the defeat of the front army, scattered and fled, the commander fled and the handsome banner was cut down, and the Wei army was defeated again. 30,000 Wei troops trampled on each other, defeated all the way back to Dingling, and the Han army won a lot.

The only drawback is that Ma Jian only suffered a few skin injuries, and he did not feel the threat of death at all.

You can't blame Wang Sheng, he is not a famous general, he has worked hard to catch ducks on the shelves.

However, Ma Tan, who was not satisfied with this, quickly led his troops to Dingling City to fight after escorting the follow-up Han army to successfully cross the thorny water. It's a Kanto celebrity, with tens of thousands of troops, give some strength!

As a result, Ma Tan ate a closed door under Dingling City, and Wang Chang didn't see you directly. He didn't even hear Ma Yan's shouting, and he hid in the city and pretended to be dead.

So, after shouting under Dingling City for three days, Ma Yan, who had a dry mouth, finally came to a conclusion,

"It seems that the other side vows to be a shrunken turtle, and would rather die in it than go out of the city to fight."

"General, what should we do then? Storm the city? Ma Tan's personal guard subconsciously asked, but Ma Tan glanced at him speechlessly.

"Do you think I have the help of demons and gods? There are tens of thousands of troops in the opposite city, and we have more than 20,000 when we are full, how can we fight it in this situation? ”

Ma Tan's personal guard scratched his head, groaned, and replied firmly,

"With the general here, we believe it is absolutely possible!"

Ma Yan: "......"

No, we have to stay away from these people, and in a few years they should create a religion with me as a prophet?

It's horrible!

But in general, Ma Jian didn't care about Wang Chang being a turtle with a shrunken head. Even when he was a turtle with a shrunken head, he saved Ma Jian a lot of things.

Taking the initiative to attack Yingchuan this time was not a decision made by Ma Tan with a pat on the head, in fact, he had already intended it. One of the most critical points is Cao Wei's huge number of Tuntian guests in Yingchuan County.

The tuntian system was pioneered by Boss Cao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it can be said to be a system ahead of the times. Cao Cao swept the north with a whip in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Tuntian system was indispensable.

And Cao Cao's earliest location in Tuntian was Yingchuan County, his old base.

Until now, there are still more than 200,000 Tuntianke in Yingchuan County, which is an extremely important grain-producing area in the southeast of Cao Wei.

In such a county, there is no problem in supporting 70,000 or 80,000 people to fight in the case of a local war. Coupled with the large number of people detained here, Ma Jian has long seen that this place is not pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, when the flooded three armies shocked China and noticed the collective panic of the Yingchuan Wei army, Ma Jian brazenly made the decision to take the initiative to attack. Among them, the core purpose is only one, to try his best to destroy Cao Wei's Tuntian manors in various parts of Yingchuan.

Since you, Wang Chang, have become a shrunken turtle and took the initiative to give me the outside of the city, then I, Ma Yan, am not welcome.

"Ordered Liu Yin to lead the Han army to set up camp with its back against the thorny water and watch the Wei army in Xiangcheng and Dingling. In any case, we can't let the Wei army in Dingling cut off the retreat of our army and ensure the safety of the grain route! ”

Ma Tan quickly made a decision and turned his head to give the order.

"I personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to cross Dingling, and marched east to attack Yingyang Fanchang first, destroying the Wei army's Tuntianzhuang over there! During this period, it was also necessary to evacuate many people from Tuntian, which required a rest to ensure the safety and smoothness of the rear. ”

"If the troops are not enough, ask for help from the rear, no matter what, the road for our army to retreat to Kunyang must be unimpeded!"

"Yui!"

Soon, Ma Tan asked Liu Yin to lead 10,000 troops to be stationed between Xiangcheng and Dingling. At the same time, the banner of Ma Tan was widely erected as a suspicious soldier, so as to intimidate Wang Chang's troops and ensure that the follow-up grain route retreat was unimpeded.

Subsequently, Ma Tan led 10,000 Han troops to bypass Dingling and continue to attack the Yingchuan regions in the east. Among them, one principle is basically pursued, not to attack the city, but only to attack the Tuntian Manor outside the city.

Soon, Ma Tan's army broke to the vicinity of Yingyang, and then marched with great fanfare, for fear that the Wei army would not know.

This made the local Wei army panic, and all the Tuntian soldiers and garrisons outside the city urgently withdrew to the city, intending to hold on to the city.

Ma Jian divided his troops into 5,000 troops to watch the city, and spread rumors everywhere that I, Ma Tan, had come in person, and you were going to be finished. Subsequently, the Wei army in the city was panicked, and when they focused all their attention on the fortification, they personally led thousands of people to raid and sweep the Tuntianzhuang near Yingyang.

Yingyang is not far from Xu, and tens of thousands of acres of fields nearby are all Tuntian manors. Among them, there are tens of thousands of people who have been detained in the village for many years.

Most of these people are descendants of the Yellow Turbans, and they are the Yellow Turban captives left behind when Cao Cao was all over the world. Of course, there are many people who are from good families who were forcibly relocated in Jingzhou, and their treatment is no different from that of the Yellow Turban captives.

Since this big vote was forcibly arranged to be stationed here, he has basically lost his personal freedom. Eighty percent of the harvest over the years has been taken away by the imperial court, and the surplus grain in his hands is only enough to make a living.

So for these Tuntian guests, there is no sense of belonging to Cao Wei, only resentment.

When Ma Tan led troops to raid Tuntianzhuang and defeated the Tuntian soldiers stationed here, the people of Tuntianzhuang quickly welcomed the king.

"Someone has finally come to our rescue!"

"Is Wei finally dying? Can we be free? ”

"Is it Liu Yuanjun's Han army that has returned? In the past, I have been separated for more than 20 years, I don't know if you still remember? ”

Countless people in Tuntian cheered after the Tuntianzhuang was broken. This meant that there were new forces to liberate them, and they would not have to continue to carry Cao Wei's huge conscription.

Especially according to the neighbors from Jingzhou, this group of soldiers and horses was the kind leader of Liu Bei's troops back then. They came to the rescue, and the days ahead will not be worse than being Cao Wei Tuntianke.

However, soon the Han army gave them two choices, so that most of them calmed down again and considered the pros and cons.

"According to what our general said, the Han army of Yingchuan County has no strength to occupy it for the time being. If you are willing, you need to return to Nanyang with the Han army, and then the Han court will divide the land free of charge, and the land tax will be drawn out of five, and all those who can go to Nanyang can get policy subsidies. ”
