Chapter 411: The pants are all seen through
Just when Chen Tai was proud that his precautions were solid, and he had to go south to fight Sun Li first, the Shu army had already circled to his rear.
After Ma Tan's naked night attack, the Han army successfully landed in Weinan, and Sun Li was forced to choose a strategic contraction due to Ma Tan's prestige. In this way, there was a gap in the warning range of Weinan, and Ma Jian seized the opportunity to lead thousands of soldiers from the north to move eastward quickly.
In just ten days, Ma Tan quickly rushed to the area of Xinfeng County, forcibly crossed Weishui, and circled to Chen Tai's rear.
I have to say that Ma Yan's move is very risky, and it can even be said that apart from him, Wei Yan has the courage to do so.
After all, Sun Li's side is only a strategic contraction, and he is not blind, and the conventional blockade can still be done. Therefore, after Ma Tan's thousands of people went around in a roundabout way, it was impossible to have logistics at all.
And because the soldiers needed to travel long distances, the weight could not be too large, and they carried military rations for fifteen days at most. This also means that Ma Jian must find a way to eat the enemy.
Fifteen days later, if he could not snatch military rations from the Wei army, Ma Jian would even starve to death in Weibei.
In such a risky situation, I am afraid that except for people like Ma Yan Wei Yan, no normal person would dare to do this.
However, Ma Tan's luck is so good, interspersed with guerrilla fights for several years, and each time he can successfully take food from the enemy. And because every battle must be won and conquered, Ma Tan can not only succeed in a roundabout way, but most of the time the results are more amazing than imagined.
For example, this time, Ma Tan only had two days of military rations left when he crossed Weishui. When the 1,000 elites arrived at the nearest county seat, Gaolu, there was only one day's food left in the army.
If the county magistrate of Gaolu County can close the city gate and defend it, it will be able to finish Ma Jian in one day.
However, when Ma Jian and a thousand people appeared outside the county as if falling from the sky, the Gaolu defenders were directly stunned. It wasn't until Ma Jian rushed to the door with his soldiers that Wei Jun reacted that this was the Han army!
Gao Lu is not far from the front line, and the distance is more than 100 miles. However, because the front line was tightly blocked, and Chen Tai led a large army to block the Yan River, the local Wei army did not expect that the Han army would appear here.
After just one encounter, the Wei army at the gate was defeated and fled, and the Han army easily took control of the drawbridge.
Gaumainland was a small city, and the gates were not gates, but very rudimentary wooden double doors. Because of this structure, the Wei army did not have time to close the gate, and the Han army entered the city.
Ma Jian carried the elite soldiers of the Han army, all of whom were strong and well-trained. Even if it was for a long-distance attack, wearing only a layer of leather armor, it was not something that these second-line soldiers of the Wei army could withstand.
Ma Tan personally led the troops to charge into battle and quickly killed the county office. Gao Lu County ordered to run over the wall, and the remaining soldiers basically threw down their weapons and surrendered.
In less than an hour, a thousand Han troops took control of the county seat. Ma Tan's imminent supply problem was solved in an instant, and the situation opened up in an instant.
"General! All enemy forces in Kolu have been cleared, and we have taken control of the whole city. Ma Tan's personal guards arched their hands and reported to Ma Tan.
"Excellent! It's very fast. Ma Tan was very satisfied, nodded, and then ordered,
"The whole army controls the four city gates, sets up our banner as the head of the city, divides the army to carry a strong crossbow and follows me, and we continue to the east!"
Ma Tan's words made Ma Tan's attendant stunned for a moment, and hesitated slightly before giving up the order.
Although these guards under Ma Jian came from humble backgrounds, they all read military books under Ma Tan's supervision, and they more or less knew a little about the art of war. Therefore, in the opinion of this guard, the next step should be to defend the high continent.
After all, although the Weibei Plain is open, there are only a few galloping roads that can be used to maintain the grain road. And Gao Lu happened to be stuck at the node of these Weibei Chi Road, which was an important hub for the Wei army.
This place was cut off, and sooner or later the front line of the Wei army would be defeated due to the impassability of the grain routes. So as long as you hold this place and don't let the Wei army take it back, the victory is already in hand.
Ma Tan could also see the confusion of his own soldiers, but he didn't have the idea of explaining.
Judging from his understanding of Chen Tai and his current excessive precautions, after hearing that he had cut off his food route, there is a high probability that he would not have the courage to divide his troops to grab Gao Lu.
So...... Chen Tai, you're going to take the path to escape, right?

The news of the fall of Goryu quickly reached the front line, and he was urgently sent to Chiyang by messenger.
At this moment, Chen Tai was still celebrating that Ma Jian was forced away by him, and planned to drink two glasses of wine to help the fun. As soon as he received the letter from the rear, Chen Tai almost squirted out a mouthful of wine.
"What! The Shu army suddenly appeared and occupied Gaolu County! Chen Tai looked at the battle report from the rear in disbelief, and the whole person was stupid.
"How is this possible! The whole river is blocked by me, and not a single mouse can cross it! Could it be that he really can't fly? ”
"General! If Gaulu is lost, there will be a problem with our grain road! We need to get it back as soon as possible! Chen Tai's subordinates were also very nervous, and hurriedly suggested to Chen Tai.
Because the Han army crossed Weishui in the south, the Weinan area has become a battlefield, and it is impossible to allocate grain and straw from Chang'an. Therefore, Chen Tai's logistics are all transported from Pubanjin, and Gaulu is the only way to go.
Now that Gaolu has also fallen, if it is not recaptured in time, more than 20,000 people of Chen Tai will be starved to death.
"Well said! Golul must be reclaimed! Chen Tai also nodded, and suddenly his expression changed, and his serious face changed to a JOJO face.
"This daunting task is up to you! You are now leading 3,000 troops and going to recover Gaolu County with great fanfare, there must be no mistake! ”
"Huh? I? The general was stunned for a moment, and pointed to himself in disbelief and asked.
"That's right, this is my test for you, you must cherish this opportunity!!" Chen Tai nodded, said with great certainty, and then didn't give the general a chance to explain at all, and drove him out directly.
After instructing his generals to lead thousands of troops to attack Gaolu, Chen Tai quickly sent his cronies to each camp to deliver the news, and the whole army secretly prepared to pack.
Chen Tai's precautions were so strict, originally to guard against Ma Yan. Now that Ma Tan himself has suddenly appeared behind his buttocks, Chen Tai, who has long been scared, is reluctant to go to Gao Lu to touch his head.
With his understanding of Ma Tan's combat power, if the main force goes to capture Gao Lu, there is a high probability that Ma Jian will take a group of Shu Han supermen to fight violently. In the end, the army was lost, and then the front line was broken through by the Shu army, and he was almost completely annihilated.
Chen Taicai was reluctant to do such a plot, so his purpose was clear from the beginning.
Let that general go to feint on Gao Lu as a substitute for the dead ghost and attract Ma Yan's attention. He took the northland path with the main force, quietly retreated to the east, and bypassed Ma Jian to defend the next line of defense.
After all, he still has several lines of defense, and he can't afford to die here.
Plan to pass!
It's just that at this moment, Chen Tai didn't know all his plans, and they were all in Ma Yan's expectations.
In other words, his pants were all visible to Ma Tan.
