Chapter 515: The inexplicable Wu Jun
Quan Cong originally wanted to show off his eloquence, but as soon as Ma Tan opened his mouth, he knew that he was going to lose.
So, Quan Cong very outwitted and gave up the idea of continuing to talk to Ma Yan. He quickly turned his head and gave an order to the Soochow tribe,
"Attack!"
Very unexpectedly, Quan Cong did not choose to lead troops to resist, but took the initiative to attack Ma Yan. Thousands of Eastern Wu soldiers and horses formed a phalanx, and slowly marched towards the Han army with the rhythm of war drums.
"Take the initiative? I like this......" Ma Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he said to himself with some surprise.
Generally, only if you are confident enough in the combat power of your own troops can you dare to take the lead in facing him. And Quan Cong is not a mediocre talent, this posture is probably confident.
The other party is confident, but Ma Jian is not sure about the quality of his own parts. So in general, Ma Tan thinks that the advantage of this battle is mine!
So as soon as he thought of this, Ma Jian quickly turned his head and also issued an attack order,
"Attack in formation! All the army is attacking! ”
After giving the order, Ma Tan personally led the headquarters to select 300 soldiers to line up at the front. Especially Ma Tan, who was still wearing an extremely dazzling white armor, took the lead in leading the troops forward.
Although he had 4,000 soldiers and horses, in fact 3,000 of them were reorganized. For the sake of insurance, Ma Jian personally took the elite to make the blade at the front, so as to bear the greatest pressure.
The formations of the two sides began to move forward slowly, and the beating of the war drums became faster and faster, and the speed of both sides became faster and faster. Finally, at the moment when the drums of war stopped, both sides launched a full-scale charge at the same time.
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!"
The soldiers of Han and Wu shouted in unison, and in a few breaths, the two groups of soldiers and horses collided together. Fierce hand-to-hand combat was on the verge of breaking out and quickly expanded to the entire battlefield.
And Ma Tan himself, because he was at the forefront, was the first to meet with the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu. But as soon as he took over, Ma Jian instantly frowned.
This group of Eastern Wu soldiers and horses doesn't seem to be a big deal, and they are even much inferior to Ding Feng's troops. Not to mention stopping him, even his improvised pawn part can pass two moves. Dare to take the lead in attacking even if you are in this condition? I'm afraid this isn't here to amuse my horse!
The charge is weak, the defense is weak, and you want to compete with my horse?
Ma Tan suddenly felt bored, and directly swept away, sweeping several Wu soldiers who were blocking him directly to the ground. Then Ma Tan clamped the horse's belly, and it was extremely easy to break through the front line of Eastern Wu and go straight to the Chinese army to capture Quan Cong.
"Quancong! Come and fight me to the death! ”
Because the troops led by Quan Cong are not elite, but only the troops stationed in Jiaozhou, they have no power to stop Ma Tan who is riding a war horse. Ma Tan led his relatives and a few people to sweep through the formation, as if no one was in a place.
The Dongwu tribe was in chaos without accident, and the generals who were already afraid of Ma Jian scattered one after another. Before the two sides engaged the enemy, the Wu army could not resist it.
If it weren't for the fact that most of the Han army were newly reorganized soldiers, and most of them had low will to fight, it is estimated that the Wu army would have collapsed by now. But even so, under Ma Tan's provocative efforts, the morale of Soochow is also inevitably declining.
But in the face of the decline, Quan Cong did not show any nervousness, and shook his head gently,
"It's really worthy of being a famous general in Western Shu, if Liu Bei asked him to guard Jiangling in the past, I'm afraid that if Governor Lu takes Jiangling, it will be impossible to win, right?"
Fortunately, it was Ma Jian who was too terrifying, so that Liu Bei couldn't detect it. Otherwise, let alone Jingzhou, I'm afraid that the Battle of Chibi would not have been their turn for the Wu army.
While thinking so, Quan Cong calmly gave the order to retreat. Under his guidance, the whole army of Eastern Wu retreated in panic to the west.
"This battle is what you want to fight, and you can leave when you want?" Ma Tan frowned, and immediately set his horse in pursuit. But at this time, Ma Zhong rode his horse to catch up and said to Ma Yan,
"General! Don't be careless! Quan Cong is cunning and extraordinary, such a simple defeat, I am afraid that there will be an ambush, so I ...... first"
"So there was an ambush? Then you have to chase and fight! However, before Ma Zhong's words fell, Ma Jian suddenly became energetic.
I said that this Dongwu tribe collapsed at the first touch, and it turned out to be Quan Cong's deceitful plan. And the real elite are probably lying in ambush behind and waiting for him to pursue!
"The whole army went into battle lightly and quickly pursued the Wu army! Don't let them run away! As he spoke, Ma Jian galloped wildly and chased straight in the direction of Dongwu's defeat.
Ma Tan's appearance made Ma Zhong a little helpless. It was better not to say it if I knew it, and the hussar general was even more excited about this. There was no way, he could only take a bow and arrows and follow, trying his best to protect Ma Yan's thoughtfulness.
Although the morale of the Han army is not high, it can still fight a dozen battles with the wind. Under the pursuit of Ma Tan's leading troops, thousands of Han soldiers also shouted and chased after them.
Quan Cong didn't run fast, or deliberately didn't run fast, and soon the Han army caught up. The two sides met again on narrow roads, and then Soochow was defeated again.
The Wu army fought and walked like this, losing five battles in a row in the pursuit of dozens of miles, losing nearly half. In the end, he was chased by Ma Tan all the way to a narrow beach, which barely blocked the pursuit of the Han army.
However, when he hit this, Quan Cong was still calm, but Ma Jian couldn't help it.
"Ambush! Ma Zhong! What about the ambush soldiers? Didn't you say that there would be ambushes in Quancong? So what about people? Ma Tan looked at Ma Zhong and asked with a black question mark on his face. He ran all the way for dozens of miles to chase here, and he didn't see the ambush soldiers, what kind of thing is this?
"I ...... I don't say it, huh? Ma Zhong was also confused, and he couldn't understand what the situation was.
It stands to reason that Quan Cong, as a famous general in Soochow, should not lose so quickly. Could it be that he was really just beaten by Ma Tan, so he was not prepared at all?
"Quancong! deceived my feelings, I'm not done with you! Ma Yan was angry enough, he was rarely deceived emotionally, and he was very angry now.
So Ma Jian is ruthless, he must capture Quan Cong alive today, he has to ask this idiot in person what he thinks!
Under Ma Tan's order, the Han army surrounded and intercepted all the way, blocking the Wu army in a mountainous area. And Ma Tan personally led thousands of Han troops to camp at the foot of the mountain, vowing to capture Quan Cong alive.
However, because the beach under the hill was too narrow, the camp of the Han army was built almost to the bank of the Xiangshui River.
Ma Jian felt that it seemed a bit risky, but it was not a big problem.
And at this moment, Quan Cong, who was forced to the top of the mountain by Ma Tan, couldn't help but smile when he saw Ma Tan's move.
"Very good, Ma Tan has taken the bait!"
