Although he doesn't look down on the generals in Guanzhong, Ma Jian has to admit that they are the most difficult opponents at the moment.

Because with the progress of the Great Han, the balance of power between the two sides has long been less disparity. In the case of a head-to-head showdown, the easiest thing is for the two sides to start a field battle.

In that way, Ma Tan could rely on his advantage in individual combat courage and quickly complete a breakthrough in the local battlefield. This was followed by a point to break the surface, and finally complete a complete victory over the Wei army.

On the other hand, what gave Ma Tan the most headache was the situation that the Wei army could not hold on. The current advantage obviously cannot support the Han army to keep attacking, and many times Ma Jian is unable to use his strength.

Of course, Cao Rui also understands this truth. It is precisely because of this that Cao Rui chose to pacify the Guanzhong army after the defeat of Sima Yi Guanzhong.

Even if only the commander of the light pole is left who dies, the surviving generals are still a valuable asset. When Ma Tan re-entered the Kou, he did not hesitate to send these defeated men to the battlefield again.

"If Sun Li is here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight in the party." Ma Yan frowned and muttered to himself.

Just looking at the terrain of Shangdang felt tricky, not to mention that the opponent was still an old acquaintance Sun Li.

Needless to say, the other party designated to build a strong camp on the key road and wait for him.

Deng Ai saw Ma Yan's headache and immediately opened his mouth to suggest.

"Then let's do this for now, and then make plans when we confront the Wei army." Ma Jian shook his head and made a final decision.

There were only a few ways for the party to gather the communists, and it did not give the Han army much room to play. Therefore, Deng Ai can only suggest splitting up the attack, so as to divide the enemy's strength to reduce the difficulty as much as possible.

…………

By the time Ma Tan's army arrived at Guyuan, the main force of the Wei army had been waiting here for a long time.

There is only one way to enter the party from Pingyang County, and that is Gu Yuan Road.

…………

"Deng Ai and Zhang Wei will take the remaining troops to Guyuan with me, and we will gnaw at the party head-on!"

"Jiang Weishuji and the others are responsible for leading the men and horses of the five Xiongnu departments to the northeast, and launch an offensive against the Beishang Party from Nie County."

But under the leadership of Ma Yan, the Han army swaggered into the Shangdang, not worrying about the possibility of an ambush. Even if he found that there was a Wei army flag battle in the dense forest halfway, Ma Jian did not care when all the generals were vigilant.

"At that time, the Wei army will not know our reality and will inevitably divide our troops to defend it, and we can also launch a key breakthrough under your leadership at that time."

"General, now with the addition of the five Xiongnu departments, our army is quite abundant. It is better to divide the troops into two ways now, and launch an attack from Niexian and Guyuan at the same time. ”

"Don't worry, Sun Li doesn't dare to set up an ambush, he doesn't have the guts!" Ma Yan waved his hand and said very confidently.

…………

It turns out that Ma Jian is really accurate in looking at his opponents. The Han army marched all the way to Guyuan, and the Wei army did not set up a single soldier to ambush except for the false banner.

The road is a river valley with narrow roads and steep terrain that makes it ideal for ambushes at first glance.

"You can just move forward boldly, even if he sets up an ambush, I can turn defeat into victory!"

Sun Li also knows Ma Jian very well, and he knows Ma Tan's strength very well when he participated in the battle in the pass. So he quickly set up three lines of defense and dug two trenches, interspersed with three layers of antlers, relying on the terrain of the river valley.

When Ma Tan saw the Wei army's defensive line, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a little.

"Do you want to be so guarded, I believe you when you say that you are guarding against the Romans!"

"General, look at this posture, how should we ......" Deng Ai also noticed that this place was difficult to gnaw, so he looked at Ma Jian for advice.

With the density of the antlers and the strict defense of the trench watering, I am afraid that it is useless to be a flying army.

"Let me go up and provoke it first, and see if I can get it out." Ma Jian shook his head, greeted Ma Zhong, and prepared to step forward to persuade him to surrender.

However, in this regard, Sun Li was also prepared for a long time, and did not let Ma Jian approach at all. When Ma Tan had not yet crossed the first trench, the Wei army directly released arrows, indicating that we had no negotiable attitude.

It can be said that the ability of these Guanzhong generals to push Chen and innovate is really strong. It's only been a few years, and they have already taken precautions against all the skills that Ma Jian started with.

The front can't move, and if you want to persuade the other side to surrender, you won't be given a chance. And because of the special terrain of Guyuan Road, it is difficult for the army to bypass it, so it can only be held here.

However, at this time, Ma Tan looked at the heavily guarded Wei army camp, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"No, since the Wei army didn't know which way I took at the beginning, it would inevitably divide the forces equally between the two sides."

"There are nearly 30,000 defenders on Guyuan's side, and the number on the Nixian side is probably about the same. And the total strength of the Wei army in Bingzhou is only 60,000, and now their rear should be very empty. ”

"Shizai, how about you say that I will take the Xuanfeng Battalion to the Shangdang Basin and go straight to Changzi County at this time?"

"I don't agree." Deng Ai didn't say a word and raised objections.

"General, judging from the current arrangement of the Wei army, it is obvious that the other party knows your style of play very well. And this kind of strategy of infiltrating and raiding with small forces is not something you haven't tried, and the other party is probably on guard. ”

"And Shangdang is not anywhere else, it is the hinterland of the local core. If you fail in the raid, I'm afraid you won't have anywhere to run, the danger factor is too high! ”

"In that case, then the matter is settled." When Ma Tan heard this, he immediately nodded thoughtfully, and then said decisively.

"I'll immediately set off with 300 people from the Xuanfeng Battalion! I'm done with the party! ”

"Huh?"

…………

…………

…………

At the same time that Ma Jian made corresponding moves, Sun Li was also in Guyuan City, looking at the reports with anxiety.

"As I expected, Ma Tan's main direction of attack is still Gu Yuan." Sun Li squinted his eyes, looking at the direction of the attack of the Shu army, and couldn't help but groan.

"Now the defence line is relatively solid. But we can't relax yet, but if there is the slightest leak in the defense line, Ma Jian may get in! ”

"By the way, pass on my order, don't dismiss the people who have been requisitioned, and build a few more fortifications behind the valley, just in case."

"General Sun, we are so tight, I'm afraid that even if Ma Jian can fly, it will be impossible to bypass us and enter the Shangdang ......"

"Yes, you're right, Ma Jian may also bypass us and go directly to attack the party! That's his forte! Sun Li suddenly slapped the table, suddenly stood up and said through gritted teeth.

"At the beginning, we didn't suffer much from him in Guanzhong, and we also wanted it from the party! Take precautions! ”
