Chapter 426: Ma Tan is ambushed
"Isn't the Wei army still willing to go out of the city to fight?"
"No, General!"
"He's so calm!"
In the Han army camp, Ma Jian looked at Huayin City from afar, and only felt a little helpless.
He did think that his presence in Weinan would make the Wei army cringe. But he really didn't expect that when the Wei army's strength exceeded that of Ma Tan by more than 20 times, he still couldn't hold out.
With such a big advantage in troops, you can win even if you are a flying dragon riding face, right? In this case, you don't dare to take a single step, and the Great Song Dynasty is an iron-blooded dynasty compared to you.
The Wei army refused to fight, so they had to confront each other all the time. Although this seems to be more in line with the strategic goal, it makes Ma Jian very unhappy.
I'm going to fight! I'm not here to retire in Weinan!
Especially seeing that Zhang He of Weibei led the troops to fight with Chen Tai, Ma Jian regretted it a little. Knowing that Xin Bi was so cowardly, he should have let Zhang He come to Weinan under his banner, and he himself would solve Chen Tai in a quick battle in Weibei.
Is it too late to change it now?
However, just when Ma Tan was at a loss and planned to lead 1,000 elite soldiers to attack Huayin, which was garrisoned by 20,000 people, a scout suddenly rushed into the military tent.
"General Kamui! There is a case! ”
"Situation? Did the Wei army go to war? As soon as he heard that there was a situation, Ma Tan suddenly came to his senses, and quickly stood up and picked up his weapon to go out.
"Looks like the old thing in Simbina can't hold it anymore, and I'm going to have to compare with him today."
"Uh...... It wasn't the Wei army that went to war. The scout scratched his head and said cautiously,
"According to the scouts in the west of Huayin City, the large Wei army in Huayin City began to retreat eastward in large numbers. Wei general Wang Ji even waved the banner and personally led the main force to march and withdraw, seeing that the size of the army should be more than 10,000 people. ”
"What? Simbi not only did not fight, but withdrew! Ma Tan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what Xin Bi meant for a while.
Isn't he going to support Sima Yi? If you want to go to Chang'an Huayin, it is impossible to give up, after all, Huayin is a must-pass place on the Weinan road from Tongguan to Chang'an.
But it's such a place that Simbi is actually going to give up? Or in the face of his strength of only a thousand men?
What's the matter, is this, I have a grudge against Sima Yi and suddenly don't want to go to the rescue?
But soon, Ma Jian immediately thought of something, and his brows furrowed suddenly.
Could it be that Weibei Zhang He and Deng Ai have some new moves, so that Xin Bi has to withdraw his troops to retreat to Baotong Pass?
With this concern, Ma Jian did not rush to pursue, but stuck to the spot, and at the same time sent people to Weibei to inquire about the situation. He was very worried that if this was Simbi's calculation, he wanted to lure him away and take a detour.
If the Wei army is not blocked and the tens of thousands of Wei troops arrive in Chang'an, the pressure on the prime minister's side will increase suddenly.
Soon, news came back from Weibei, Zhang He said that Deng Fan had led his troops north in the name of the general's secret order nearly a month ago, and planned to attack Pujindu. Recently, intelligence has come back that Shu Ji has delayed a large number of Wei troops and horses on the front line of Pujindu.
Seeing this situation, Ma Tan's first reaction was to pat his thigh,
"It's broken! How did I forget about the plan to smuggle into Pubanjin! Forcibly crossing the Yellow River and taking advantage of the heavy snow to cross the Zhongtiao Mountain and attack the hinterland of Pubanjin is not much more risky than in Weinan! ”
Hearing that Deng Ai Shuji had successfully smuggled Pubanjin, Ma Jian quickly thought of the same plan as Deng Fan. But at this moment, Ma Jian could only regret that he didn't think of this plan at that time.
I'm so stupid, really......
"So General Kamui, we ......"
"Order Zhang Yi to lead his troops south to cross Weishui and come to join our army! The whole army threw down their baggage and went into battle lightly to pursue the Wei army with me! Ma Tan made a decisive decision, and the whole army marched quickly to pursue Sinbi.
At this moment, from Ma Yan's point of view, it is obvious that Shu Ji Deng Ai has opened up the situation in Pubanjin. Simbi had to urgently lead his troops back to the rescue, and this was the time to pursue and break the enemy's army!
There are not many advantages of Ma Yanbei, only absolute decisiveness at critical times. Whether the choice is right or wrong, it is taboo to hesitate at such times.
After Ma Tan gave the order, the elite army of the thousand-man Han army, who had been training here for a month, had a full meal. After eating and drinking, the whole army threw away all its baggage, and all the soldiers went into battle lightly, bypassing Huayin and quickly pursuing Xinbi to the east.
However, Ma Jian did not rely too much, relying only on the pursuit of thousands of infantry, even if he won the battle, he could not expand the results. Therefore, while pursuing, Zhang Yi also led more than 2,000 Han cavalry to cross Weishui under the order of Ma Tan.
After crossing the Weishui, this group of Han troops would quickly come to chase after Ma Tan. Finally, they joined Ma Jian near Tongguan and finally broke the Wei army.
As long as Xinbi can be severely damaged on the front line of Tongguan and the Kwantung Wei army is completely lost, then Ma Jian can directly block the gate of Tongguan and ride his face. At that time, not only will the Kwantung reinforcements of the Wei army not be able to advance westward, but even Sima Yi's retreat may be completely cut off!
At that time, Guanzhong will become a small black house for iron men, and the prime minister will take more troops than Sima Yi to fight this Sima Xuan King alone......
Isn't this better than Boran?
With such an idea, Ma Jian led the Han army of 1,000 people to march forcibly and went straight to Tongguan. In order to catch up with Simbi, Ma Tan threw away all the heavy grain and grass.
But this time, Ma Tan's luck seemed to have come to an end. When Ma Jian led his troops to a place only a few miles away from the clearance, and he could already see Tongguan from a distance, Ma Jian sensed that something was wrong.
The imaginary scene of the Wei army retreating in a panic towards Tongguan did not appear. The Wei army, led by a young general, formed a neat formation, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
"Something is wrong! It's a trap! Ma Tan narrowed his eyes and reacted immediately.
But at this moment, countless shouts suddenly sounded in the mountain forest on the side. Countless Wei soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests, and all of them rushed straight to Ma Yan's troops from the side.
And the general led by this group of Cao Wei ambush soldiers is none other than Xin Bi!
On the front, Captain Wang Ji of Pingxi also quickly swung his sword and shouted excitedly,
"The Shu army has been surrounded by our army! Ma Tan has been trapped by our army, and the whole army will charge me! ”
"Those who can slash horses in battle, Your Majesty is willing to be named the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
For a time, the two Wei armies surrounded at the same time, with a total strength of tens of thousands. Xin Bi and Wang Ji were even more one after the other, and quickly surrounded the Han army in the center with a large army!
Xin Bi was extremely excited at the moment, and even some old tears were in his eyes. Ma Yan, who has always been invincible, was finally successfully ambushed by his Great Wei!
If he can kill Ma Jian at this moment, even if he sells Sima Yi directly, he will be able to be directly promoted to the third prince when he returns to Luoyang!
"Surround the whole army! Don't let Ma Yan'er run away! ”
