Just when Zhao Yu led the army to divide into three roads and march in the direction of Baishui City, on a hill near Baishui City.A sergeant was running in a panic, running towards a man dressed as a literati, and before the person could run to follow him, he had already clasped his fists at him and said: "Lord Ma Tan, there is a sentry in front to report, and the army of Zhao Jun is already coming towards the land of my Baishui City."
Presumably, it won't be long before they enter the place where we are ambushing, and when the time comes, will our army directly launch a sneak attack on the Zhao army" After hearing the sergeant's report, Ma Yan's brows couldn't help but tighten, and then he showed a solemn expression, stopped the sergeant, and immediately said: "Wait, for the time being, you can't launch a sneak attack on the Zhao army so quickly, you must confirm the movement and number of the Zhao army first."
This time, the Zhao army of more than 300,000 troops came, and with the minds of those strategists in the Zhao army, they are assisting Zhao Yu to attack our Yizhou together, and they will definitely not gather all the soldiers and horses together, and they will definitely divide the troops into multiple ways to attack our Yizhou. ”"And judging from the number of soldiers and horses of our army and the Wei army this time, it is obviously a little impossible to annihilate those Zhao troops in one fell swoop.Therefore, this time we must reduce the strength of the Zhao army one by one, only in this way can we inflict the least losses and defeat those Zhao troops.As long as our army can defeat the Zhao army once, the myth of the Zhao army's invincibility will be shattered, and even the morale of the Zhao army will drop greatly, and our army will become more favorable for future battles. ”After speaking, Ma Jian said to the sergeant again: "Immediately go and probe for me again, find out the enemy's movements and strength, and report as soon as there is a new movement, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise I will ask you." ”After receiving Ma Tan's military order, the sergeant immediately bowed to Ma Tan and said quite seriously: "No, the little one will go and explore." ”After saying that, the whole person disappeared, went straight down the mountain, and headed towards the place where the Zhao army's army must pass.After a few pillars of incense, a torrential rain of trampling sound came, and the sergeant who had been ordered by Ma Tan to investigate heard it, and was immediately stunned in his heart, and hurriedly followed the prestige.But he saw a dense crowd of figures, gradually moving towards the foot of the mountain where he was standing, although he had already been prepared, but after seeing so many soldiers and horses, the sergeant couldn't help but feel a trace of horror.Holding back the fear in his heart, after seeing Zhao Jun's several armies clearly, the sergeant immediately rushed back and reported to his commander Ma Yan.When Ma Tan heard what the soldier said, this time the Zhao army was divided into three ways of soldiers and horses, he hesitated slightly, and then fell into a deep thought.Although Ma Jian is self-righteous and arrogant, after all, this is a big battle with Zhao State, so although Ma Jian is confident, he does not dare to have any carelessness.After all, this is the first major battle with himself as the main commander, if he can defeat the Zhao army in one fell swoop, then his status in Shu will also improve by leaps and bounds in the future, and he can even jump to the status of Jiang Wan and others in the country.It's just that one thing at the moment makes Ma Tan a little headache, this time the Zhao army is divided into three ways to attack, it is completely to achieve both offense and defense, and the front, middle and rear soldiers and horses are attacking each other, which makes Ma Tan a little unable to start.In this situation, if Ma Jian wants to successfully stop the Zhao army, he must be thunderous and fast.And Zhao Jun was able to divide the entire army into three groups to attack, and he also made a careful calculation, in Ma Yan's heart.If you consider the front, middle and rear soldiers and horses of the Zhao army, you will definitely let go of the front two roads first, and then wait for the opportunity to carry out a sneak attack behind the third road soldiers and horses.At that time, even if the soldiers and horses in front of them want to wait for the opportunity to return to rescue, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to be able to turn around in a very short time, so as to give themselves enough time to act.But in this way, it is to let the soldiers and horses of the two roads of Qianmen directly enter the land of Baishui City, and this time the two armies of Shu and Wei, but after gathering most of the soldiers and horses, they have a trace of enough ability to resist the Zhao army.If the 200,000 Zhao troops are allowed to enter Baishui City directly like this, those Zhao troops will inevitably be like wolves and tigers, and there will be no other troops in Shu to stop them at that time.Therefore, for Ma Yan, the only way at the moment is to block all the Zhao troops and prohibit all the Zhao troops from entering the boundary of Baishui City.In this way, it was necessary to attack the front army of the Zhao army as soon as it arrived, so that it could not advance.And the two peaks outside Baishui City are the places where he and Zhao Jun's decision-making battles, and whether he can defeat Zhao Jun this time and whether he can become famous in a battle depends on this move.After thinking about the decision-making and deployment, Ma Jian immediately called a few people around him and began to say and deed: "Immediately notify the other generals and inform them that this time our army will intercept the Zhao army in this mountain range."
Once the former soldiers and horses of the Zhao army enter this place, according to the orders of our Chinese army, all the large armies will immediately attack it, and the Zhao army must be defeated in one fell swoop, and no one will be left behind. ”This time, Yan Yan, Wang Ping, and Ma Jian of Shu led a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus the general Niu Jin of Wei, led 10,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses.Later, when Fa Zheng and Wei Yan returned to Yizhou from Hanzhong, Fa Zheng let Ma Jian have enough soldiers and horses to fight against the Zhao army, and handed over more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command to Wei Yan to lead, and ordered Wei Yan to stay by Ma Yan's side, so as to assist Ma Tan to resist the Zhao army together.This time, everyone was ordered by Ma Tan to stand on two hills, among which Yan Yan, Niu Jin, and Ma Tan stood on the west side of the mountain, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses.The other hill was erected by Wang Ping and Wei Yan, who also led 30,000 soldiers and horses.In Ma Tan's view, his plan this time is very flawless, as long as those Zhao troops dare to enter, Ma Jian can give an order, 60,000 troops launched a surprise attack at the same time, Rao is Zhao army has 100,000 soldiers and horses.However, under the sudden attack of the 60,000 Shu and Wei coalition troops, the 100,000 soldiers and horses will also be divided into victory and defeat in an instant, and they will have to flee in panic at that time.Even if the Chinese army behind the Zhao army came to help in a hurry, as long as they gave a military order, the army would retreat immediately after successfully launching a sneak attack, no matter how fierce those Zhao army reinforcements were, they were helpless.In the end, those Zhao troops had to retreat, if these Zhao troops dared to attack again after the war, then they could protect these two mountains, after all, if the Zhao army wanted to enter Yizhou from Hanzhong, they had to pass here, which was also the only way to go.Just after Ma Yan's military order was issued, Yan Yan drank Niu Jin and the others, without any hesitation, hurriedly led his subordinates and began to prepare.When Wang Ping and Wei Yan, who were standing on the other side of the mountain, couldn't help but be stunned, only to see Wang Ping immediately speak to Wei Yan on the side: "General Wei Yan, this time the military division actually wants to occupy these two mountains to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army, this move is definitely inappropriate. ”After finishing speaking, Wang Ping couldn't help but speak to Ma Jian again: "In the art of war, under the heights, it is easy to be besieged by the enemy.Especially this time, our army will face hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops, and once those Zhao troops discover the purpose of our army's occupation of the mountain, they will immediately be besieged by the entire Zhao army.When the time comes, as long as those Zhao troops occupy the bottom of the mountain and cut off our retreat, our army will be isolated and helpless, and in the end we can only be killed by those Zhao troops. ”Wei Yan couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and then responded to Wang Pingyan: "Well, what General Wang Ping said is very reasonable, I, Wei Yan, agree with your point of view very much, in the way of the art of war, standing on the top of the mountain is a lonely and consistent approach.Once the enemy army is besieged and cut off from all naval forces and retreats of our army, it will definitely be defeated. ”After the two of them fused their opinions, Wei Yan hurriedly pulled a sergeant beside him and said to him: "Immediately go to the side of the military division and inform the military division that once our army stands on the top of the mountain to defend this time, it will be equivalent to cutting off its own retreat, and it will be easy to be surrounded by enemy troops at that time." ”However, after receiving Wei Yan's military order, the sergeant had not yet turned around and ran down the mountain, but he heard the sound of marching in unison.Listening from this voice alone, it is not difficult to hear that this is an enemy army approaching, seeing this scene, the sergeant also knows that if he rushes down the mountain at this moment, it will undoubtedly show the Zhao army that his army has set up an ambush here this time.So the sergeant lay on the ground, not daring to move.Rather than going down the mountain to deliver the letter at this moment, it is better to stay here and follow the army and wait for the opportunity to counterattack the Zhao army together.Then, I only heard Wang Ping say to Wei Yan, quite worried: "General Wei Yan, the enemy army has come at this moment, if you let the sergeant run to the military division to report now, it will definitely be discovered, what should we do" Wei Yan also sighed and said: "Alas, those Zhao troops actually came so quickly, so that I almost couldn't react."
For now, I must be fully prepared, as soon as the military order is sounded, all the horses will immediately rush forward and throw what they are in hand down the mountain. ”After finishing speaking, Wei Yan couldn't help but murmur again: "I hope that what I am worried about this time is just that you and I are too nervous, if the plan laid out by that kid can defeat the Zhao army, even if we are blindly tossing, everything we do is for the sake of the top and bottom of the Shu Kingdom." ”After speaking, Wei Yan rushed at the cadres behind him, telling all of them to get ready, and once the order to attack the second army sounded, everyone would begin to show their strength.And Ma Tan, who was standing on another mountain, heard that Zhao Yu's former army and horses had entered, Ma Tan immediately felt indescribable excitement, how to say it, this is his own battle of fame, the more Ma Tan thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhao Yu in his heart.If Zhao Yu had been able to get along with Shu at the beginning, he would not have led his troops to fight back this time
