689. The Maling Ambush
Ma Ling of Wei State.
Maling is a place with a difficult terrain, and the only way to pass through this place is one road in the mountains, and this road, with mountains on both sides, is an easy place to set up an ambush.
And Maling is also the only way for Pang Juan to return to help, he has to pass through Maling to reach Daliang, if he wants to go to fight Chen, Cai, he also has to pass through Maling.
However, this place has always been held by the Wei State, although the terrain is precipitous, but it will not let the Wei State be attacked.
At the same time, when Wei was attacked by the enemy, he also set up ambushes in Maling many times to ambush the enemy.
And this time, Pang Juan led the army into Maling without thinking too much, and when he entered the hinterland of Maling, his vanguard army encountered a volley of arrows.
And the banner of the Qi State appeared on the mountain of Maling.
Pang Juan was suddenly shocked: "How is this possible, how can there be a Qi army here?" ”
Pang Juan didn't think that there would be a Qi army here, in order to prevent the Qi army from setting up an ambush, on the way back, he went to the north of Wei.
In his thoughts, the north would not encounter the Qi army, and he couldn't understand where the Qi army came from.
"General, we have entered the ambush circle of the Qi army!" A soldier looked at Pang Juan and said.
Pang Juan nodded: "Look at whose handsome flag this Qi army is hanging!" ”
The soldier nodded, looked forward, and returned to Pang Juan after a while: "General, there is a handsome flag hanging in front of you!" ”
"Sun Zi Shuai Qi?" Pang Juan frowned: "Then he said, it could be the banner of that guy Sun Bin!" ”
Pang Juan's guess was right, what he encountered was indeed Sun Bin's army, and Sun Bin fled to the northern Yandi after experiencing the Luoyang fiasco.
Originally, Qi Jie asked Sun Bin to defend the Great Wall to prevent the coalition army from attacking Yandi on multiple fronts, but the coalition army did not do this, but drove straight into the Song land, and then reached the danger of Mount Tai in Qi State.
They gave up the idea of attacking Yan with Zhao, because the coalition forces were worried that Qi had absorbed the resources and population of Song, and after breaking through the Great Wall of Yan, it would be unfavorable to the coalition forces to fight against Qi, so they wanted to end the war as soon as possible.
chose to drive straight in, as long as they defeated the Qi State at Mount Tai, then they could enter the core of the Qi State and attack the camp hill of the Qi State.
After Qi and Chu concluded the Shouchun Covenant, Qi began to gradually counterattack, and when Qi entered the land of Wei, Sun Bin chose to take 100,000 legions from northern Hebei to enter Wei to help the warrior legion and attack Wei together.
When he knew that Pang Juan was coming back to help, he raided Maling from the north overnight, and Maling's defenders didn't even realize that someone would come to attack them, and the defense was lax, so that Sun Bin could easily succeed.
After occupying Maling, Sun Bin began to study the map of Maling and began to set up a subdued Pang Juan in Maling.
As long as Pang Juan is defeated, then it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Wei court, so that when negotiating peace with Wei, Qi will have a chance to take advantage.
Instead of being at a disadvantage, follow in the footsteps of the Wei State......
Negotiations require the superiority of external forces in order to be at the point of superiority at the negotiating table.
Pang Juan's subordinates looked at Pang Juan and asked, "General, what should we do?" ”
"First of all, it is urgently in a defensive state, it is not suitable for combat at night, tomorrow officialdom, see how many Qi people there are in this Maling, we are making plans!" Pang Juan said to his generals.
When he learned that Qi had set up an ambush in Maling, Pang Juan did not attack rashly, but chose to wait for tomorrow dawn, investigate carefully, and make plans.
If the opponent has a large number of troops in Maling, if he attacks rashly, he will only fall to the point of defeat.
If the number is not large, he Pang Juan can choose the way of strong attack and break through Maling, for Pang Juan, it is also worth losing a large number of soldiers and horses to break through Maling.
Because of the breakthrough of Maling, the large army he returned to support did not have to face this Qi army, after all, they also had to return to the precarious Daliang City.
And the place of command of the Qi army.
Sun Bin's subordinate general looked at Sun Bin and said, "General, Pang Juan didn't go straight to Maling!" ”
"This fellow of mine, he is very cautious in battle, but since he has entered Maling, there is only one way to defeat waiting for them!" Sun Bin said confidently.
Sun Bin and Pang Juan can be said to be the same door, if it is a direct confrontation, Sun Bin thinks that Pang Juan may not be able to defeat, and the war is full of conspiracy, bloodshed and trickery.
He raided Ma Ling overnight in order to ambush this Pang Juan and completely wipe out his own fellow disciple from Ma Ling.
He was in control of Maling in the early morning of today, and the information about the fall of Maling had not yet been transmitted, so he hurriedly set up a formation of Maling and made Maling an ambush site.
As long as the enemy army enters Maling, then the enemy army will become Weng Zhong's turtle and be slaughtered by him.
Early the next morning.
Pang Juan walked out of the camp tent, looked at the mountains full of Qi army flags, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and the soldiers of Wei looked at the banners of Qi all over the mountain, and the morale of the soldiers also fell a little.
"General, I think we're evacuating, let's make another plan!" One of Pang Juan's subordinates looked at Pang Juan and said.
And Pang Juan shook his head: "I'm afraid it's too late, we can't leave this Maling!" ”
Entering the Maling ambush circle, Pang Juan had already realized that they had completely entered the trap of the enemy.
"If you want to go out, you can only defeat the Qi army here, looking at the Qi army on this mountain, I'm afraid there are a lot of Qi troops!" Ma Ling looked at the person beside him and said.
Sun Bin and Pang Juan are from the same school, and they have a better understanding of each other's tactics and combat habits, and methods, and he can guess what situation he is in at this time.
"General, are we going to sit still?" The general looked at Pang Juan and said.
He thinks that Pang Juan thinks too badly, they are also the elite of the Wei State, how can they show a defeated face without fighting?
They have the glory of being a warrior of the Wei State, how can they be timid without a fight?
"Of course we can't sit still, we have to fight back, counterattack from Maling, and defeat the other party!" Pang Juan said to his generals.
Although Pang Juan thinks that the defeat is decided, he doesn't want to admit defeat like this, he also wants to resist, what if he succeeds?
Then this will be a battle that will go down in history......
"Ready, let's drive straight into the core of this horse tomb!" Pang Juan said to everyone.
And the soldier was stunned: "General, shouldn't we turn around and kill out?" How can you fight forward and rush into the core of the opponent? Isn't this self-defeating? ”
"If we turn around and kill ourselves, the other party judges that we feel an ambush, we will turn around, they must have set up many ambushes in the rear, and at that time, we will inevitably suffer the blow of the other party's destruction!" Pang Juan said to the soldiers.
