What did Ma Tan do when he was guarding the street pavilion and was defeated by Sima Yi?

Tan and Wang Ping led their men to the Rank Pavilion, and Zhang He's Wei army was also coming from the east. Ma Jian looked at the terrain and said to Wang Ping: "The terrain in this area is dangerous, and there is a mountain next to the street pavilion, and we are camping on the mountain and setting up an ambush.

Ma Jian had no experience in warfare, thought he was familiar with military books, did not listen to Wang Ping's advice at all, and insisted on camping in the mountains. Wang Ping's repeated persuasion of Ma Jian was useless, so he had to beg Ma Jian to allocate 1,000 men and horses to him and let him camp near the foot of the mountain. Zhang He led the Wei army to Jieting, and when he saw that Ma Tan had abandoned the ready-made city and did not defend it, but stationed his men and horses on the mountain, he was secretly happy, and immediately ordered his soldiers to build a camp under the mountain and besiege the mountain where Ma Tan was camping.

Ma Tan ordered his soldiers to rush down the mountain several times, but because Zhang He held the camp, the Shu army could not break through, but was killed by the Wei army's random arrows. The Wei army cut off the water source from the mountain. The Shu army was cut off from water on the mountain, and they couldn't even cook, and after a long time, they themselves became chaotic first.

Zhang He saw the opportunity and launched a general attack. The soldiers of the Shu army fled one after another, and Ma Jian could not ban it, so in the end, he had to fight his way out of the encirclement and flee westward. Wang Ping led a thousand men and horses to hold the camp steadily.

When he learned of the defeat of Ma Tan, he ordered his soldiers to beat the drums desperately and pretend to be attacking. Zhang He suspected that the Shu army was in ambush and did not dare to approach them. Wang Ping put his troops in order and retreated backwards in a hurry, not only did he not lose a single one of his 1,000 men and horses, but also contained many stragglers under Ma Tan.

The street kiosk was lost. The Shu army lost an important stronghold and lost a lot of men. Zhuge Liang wanted to avoid suffering greater losses.

Zhuge Liang returned to Hanzhong, and after detailed inquiry, he knew that the loss of Jieting was entirely due to Ma Tan's violation of his combat deployment. Ma Tan also admitted his mistakes.

Sima Yi is thousands of miles away, and he can defeat Ma Jian in the street pavilion, it's really a hell. Kong Ming slashed the horse with tears, and Zhongda Qianli Battle Street Pavilion.

In the Battle of Jieting, Ma Tan's troops were about 25,000 and Sima Yi's troops were about 150,000. As a result, Ma Tan's arrangement of troops was seriously improper, and he was defeated by Sima Yi, so that Zhuge Liang fell short and beheaded Ma Jian with tears.

Ma Tan was defeated by the famous Wei general Zhang. Zhang was a famous general of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, one of the "five good generals" under Cao Cao, first from Han Fu, and then to Yuan Shao, and had many merits in the battle with Gongsun Zhan. During the battle of Guandu, Zhang was framed by Guo Tu, led the people to surrender to Cao Cao, and was reused, followed Cao Cao to pacify the north, expedition to Wuhuan, Ping Ma Chao, and destroyed Zhang Lu, with many military exploits.

Later, Zhang was stationed in Hanzhong with Xiahou Yuan, and temporarily acted as the commander after Xiahou Yuan was killed, maintaining the defeated army. During the period of Emperor Wei Ming, Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, Zhang was ordered to rescue Longyou, and defeated the Shu general Ma Tan at Jieting, causing Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops; When Zhuge Liang was the fourth time, Zhang went with Sima Yi to refuse. After Zhuge Liang ran out of food and retreated, Zhang chased to Mumen, fought with Zhuge Liang's army, and was shot in the right knee by a flying arrow and died.

In the sixth year of Jianxing, Liang sent the army to Qishan, and sometimes there were generals Wei Yan, Wu Yi, etc., and the commentators all said that it was appropriate to order as the vanguard, and Liang violated the public's command, and the public was in front, and the Wei general Zhang Tai fought in the street pavilion, which was broken by Tai, and the chain knew that the soldiers were scattered. Liang Jin had no basis, and the shed cherry blossoms retreated and returned to Hanzhong. After going to prison, Liang was weeping.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Ma Liang Ma Tan).

The above is the narrative in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, not so much to lose to Zhang as to himself, a large part of the reason comes from Ma Tan's own stubbornness, theory is divorced from practice and negligence underestimates the enemy, otherwise the street pavilion will not be so easy to lose.
