Chapter 558: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
"Is Ma Tan confused or what's wrong, he can't provoke and take the initiative to die?" After plotting against Ma Yan, Lu Zhi felt extremely tricky and did not feel moved because of this.
It stands to reason that as a veteran who has endured the battlefield, he should not make such a mistake. Even if Ma Tan was defeated in a row of battles, it shouldn't have allowed him to sneak attack so smoothly.
Clearly, Lu Zhi sensed that something was wrong. So after seriously injuring Ma Tan, Lu Zhi not only did not let down his vigilance, but raised his vigilance.
"Gentlemen, don't let your guard down, Ma Jian is treacherous, this is likely to be his trap!" Lu Zhi instructed the generals on the left and right.
Subsequently, Lu Zhi began to order all the generals and soldiers to start a sleepless patrol. All the soldiers tried to expand the patrol area as much as possible, and made sure that they would not give Ma Tan a chance at all.
However, in this way, the soldiers will become tired. But Lu Zhi said that there was no big problem with this, after all, Ma Jian only had ten days of grain at most, and as long as he survived these days, Ma Jian would inevitably retreat.
At that time, when Pingyang County is safe, it is not too late for the generals to rest.
Lu Zhi's patrols seemed to work, but for the rest of the day, the Han army remained silent. It lasted for several days, and the defenders of Pingyang City did not move, so that the Han army could not find any chance.
Finally, on the ninth day of the siege of the city, the Han army began to retreat on all fronts. All the Hu soldiers began to retreat backwards almost in an orderly manner, and fled in a hurry.
But Lu Zhi still resisted the urge to attack, no matter how your Han army shows, I just won't move.
This news reached Pingyang City, and the angry Lu Zhi wanted to strangle Wang Jing.
Wang Jing garrisoned nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, most of whom were elite soldiers. And Wang Jing planned to directly dispatch 7,000 elite soldiers, and after completing his work, he became the first person to break Ma Tan head-on.
"Lu Zhi did a great job! I forced Ma Jian to be embarrassed and left, and when I go back, I must ask Your Majesty for him! Wang Jing nodded slightly, very satisfied with Lu Zhi's performance.
It's just that Lu Zhi has this patience, which does not mean that others have this patience.
"The enemy has been tricked! The whole army presses up! Deng Ai took the place of Ma Jian and quickly gave orders to the large army. The Han army chased the Wei army to the Emei Plateau, and quickly launched a strong attack with momentum.
The main thing is that from the very beginning the morale of the Han army was pretended......
At this moment, in just ten days, thousands of soldiers of the Han army have become deserters. By the time the chaotic Han army arrived near the Emei Plateau, there were less than 20,000 troops left.
And these 20,000 people want to run out of food and the double buff of the Lord's serious injury. And Wang Jing's morale is high and he is still waiting for work, so Wang Jing thinks that the advantage is mine!
With such thoughts, Wang Jing collided with the main force of the Han army outside the Emei Terrace.
In the end, people who have not been educated by Ma Tan still have some unrealistic illusions about field victory.
Then, the great wise man ordered the whole army to rest and recuperate, and the whole army had a full meal before raiding the Han army.
And then...... Defeated!
The morale of the Han army is indeed low, but Jiang Wei, Deng Ai and others are not vegetarians. Wang Jing is not a general, if he can beat the Han army, he will have a ghost.
Facts have proved that Lu Zhi, a great talent recognized by the history books, is capable. Even if the Han army showed so many flaws, he could still not forget his original intention and defend the city.
When the Han army began to retreat to Anyi in a chaotic manner and almost without order because of the lack of food, Wang Jing couldn't bear it.
"Why is this thorn history so unreliable! What was it like to be beaten in Pujindu before, and dare to fight! Lu Zhiqi's teeth itched, and he felt extremely helpless about this boss who was a vegetable and fun-loving.
"General! The king was defeated, and most of his troops were lost. And the Shu army is attacking fiercely, and its situation should be very critical, do we send troops to support? The subordinate next to him frowned, but still asked cautiously.
"What kind of support, how do you know that the goal of the Shu army is to make you not us? Is there less of this that Ma Tan has done? Lu Zhi snorted coldly, his attitude was very, very bad, and he said directly.
"The Emei Plateau is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as Wang Tingshi does not continue to do it, he can hold it. Instead of worrying about him, let's think about what we should do in case the Shu army kills a horse pistol. ”
"Pass my order, the whole army will continue to be highly vigilant, and no one will be allowed to relax their vigilance until the Shu army retreats to Hedong County!"
Hearing Lu Zhi's order, the generals couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was also quite torturous to follow such a vigilant general, who hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.
I don't know how long such a high level of vigilance will last, and if it continues like this, my morale will plummet.
Lu Zhi is right, the dignified Happy City is not so easy to break. Even if Wang Jing lost more than half of his troops, the remaining troops alone would be enough to make the Han army helpless.
In the end, after two days of strong attack, the Han army's grain was completely exhausted, and the 20,000 Han army slowly retreated to Hedong County.
It was not until the Han army retreated to Anyi that Lu Zhi was sure that it was impossible for the Han army to surprise him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that the Wei army's resistance this time has won a rare victory.
But is that really the case?
…………
…………
…………
In a jungle outside Pingyang City, hundreds of soldiers have been hiding here for ten days. And in the middle of them, there was Ma Yan, who had been "seriously injured".
"TMD, let me know who's in charge of shooting me, I'm going to have to kill him!" Ma Tan has been thinking about fragments, and obviously has a lot of resentment towards the person who shot him with arrows.
"You can't shoot an arrow! Is the heart of your house on the right? Shoot to the right heart and kill a ghost! ”
The main force of the Han army did withdraw, and it had to be withdrawn after the food ran out. However, those Hu soldiers who are not strong in combat are never real combat power.
The only thing that can really be used to fight a tough battle is the 1,000 Selective Battalion brought by Ma Yan!
In fact, if you directly let Xuanfeng camp, you can bite Pingyang City. But Ma Jian also found that the other party's main general was a capable person, and if that was the case, Ma Tan's hard-trained Fengxian would become a line-filling baby.
So in order to reduce the loss, Ma Tan made such a series of complicated calculations.
First of all, let the troops start to have a planned rout, paralyzing the opponent and reducing the loss of grain. It was the remaining rations of these "deserters" that supported Ma Jian to squat here for ten more days.
No matter how treacherous you are like a ghost, you have to drink my Ma Tan's footwashing water!
Lu Zhi has exhausted his calculations, and has been counting the remaining grain of the Han army, but unfortunately it is still a little worse than Ma Yan.
"Alright, when should it be, it's time for the soldiers to move!" Looking at the night, the bright moon was hidden behind the clouds, and Ma Jian stood up gently.
"I don't believe it, the main force of the Han army has retreated for ten days, and you can still be highly vigilant!"
