Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1353 Nancha Storm ([-]) Fraud

It is understandable for Ma Chengxun to look forward to high pragmatism. Although outsiders say "Mahjong" at first, everyone knows that the core of Mahjong is Magui.Even when Ma Jin was still in office, Ma's general was known as "two brothers in command", but in fact Gao Yushi was more willing to use Ma Gui. As long as he was using troops in the direction of Xuan Da, Gao Situ would definitely bring Ma Gui with him. proof.

Ma Jin is the elder brother of Ma Gui, followed by his second brother Ma Fu, and Ma Gui is the third son, the third and youngest son of Datong general Ma Lu.Ma Chengxun is the son of Ma Jin, not much younger than his third uncle Ma Gui.

Seniority is something that China has been very particular about since ancient times, and seniority is the same. Ma Chengxun dare not compare with Magui, but he is very concerned that Magui's son Ma Chengxuan and others have also begun to enter the army, and he regards him as a competitor of the same clan .

The same clan means that their major interests are the same; competitors means that there are comparisons between them, and they have to compete to see who is superior.

According to the practice at this time, the Ma Jin branch is the eldest branch of the Ma family, that is, the head of the family.But after Ma Jin's death, because the Ma family mainly relied on Ma Gui's card face to support their family status, and also relied on him to maintain the Ma family's status in Gao Situ's mind, there was gradually a situation where there was no distinction between the big and the small clans.

Although Ma Gui himself took good care of the nephews left by his two elder brothers, and they also respected Ma Gui, but this could not change Ma Chengxun's mentality of wanting to "rebuild the glory of the master's family". The meritorious service has been valued by Gao Situ.

In Ma Chengxun's view, it was an excellent opportunity for the single-leading cavalry to pursue Tumen and Brihatu's main force in this battle.Although Cao Yu's order made it very clear, Ma Chengxun's main task this time was to interfere with Burihatu's "plan". No matter what Burihatu wanted to do, Ma Chengxun only had to be responsible for destroying it.

Such a task, the subtext is to follow closely and harass, it is obviously used as a ranger, and Ma Chengxun is of course very clear.But as the saying goes, soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent, and after he leads the army and leaves alone, how to make a decision under the ever-changing enemy situation is another matter.

Ma Chengxun moved quickly and started to return immediately.At this not-so-far distance, Ma Chengxun divided the cavalry into two parts. The cavalry of the Ming army on the west side was close to the Yehe River, including his own troops and the part handed over to him by Cao Yu; In the forest are the eight thousand cavalry of Ye He and Baylor, who are responsible for keeping an eye on the movements in the forest.

Ma Chengxun knew that if the Mongols were really hiding in the forest, they would be concealed, but their speed would not be fast. As long as he returned to the East City with all his strength, he would definitely be the first to come first, and get ahead of the Mongols in the East City. Waiting outside.

In the forest, Tumen kept exhaling white air from his sweaty nose. The funny thing is that only one side has it, and the other side may have a stuffy nose, and the breath seems to be absent.

"Damn it, why is it colder in the woods than on the grassland?" Tumen sweated profusely and tried to ventilate, but it didn't help, so he couldn't help but cursed bitterly.

Brihatu sat quietly on the fur cushion beside him, reading a book in his hand, and replied with a light smile: "Don't worry about sweating, Cao Yan will definitely let Ma Chengxun For those returning to the East City, we just need to wait a little longer before we can go out of the mountain. The forest is very humid and prone to typhoid fever, and it is inconvenient to light a fire right now, so why not put on another layer of fox fur if you are sweating profusely?"

"If you don't wear it anymore, you won't be able to dance well if you put on a knife again." Tumen waved their hands, sat down, and asked Burihatu with his head tilted: "Ben Khan still doesn't understand. How about sending Ma Chengxun back to the East City? We don’t have enough gunpowder to blow up the city. It’s freezing cold, and digging tunnels is also very troublesome. There are only a few hundred people left in the West City. He just needs to cross the river. , maybe he will go down with a drum, and at this time he will send Ma Chengxun back?"

Seeing that the Tumen were sincerely asking questions, Brihatu put down the book and replied, "Khan, we know what you said, but Cao Yu didn't. He didn't know how much gunpowder we had, nor did he know whether we were He was determined to dig tunnels and blow up the city, not to mention that we only left hundreds of guards in the west city.

He didn't know anything, and it was very rare for the Ming army to go out to fight in winter. At this moment, no matter what his strategic intention is, whether it is to regain the west city or defeat our army, he must insist on seeking stability first and then seeking peace. win.

Since stability is required, there must be no loss in Dongcheng, otherwise the Ming army will become rootless, and the Yehe tribe will also be alienated.But at this time, it is impossible for his whole army to return to the division, so he can only let Ma Chengxun go back and have a look.In Cao Yu's view, no matter what our army is going to do on this trip, Ma Chengxun is enough to cause us trouble and prevent us from doing anything, and this is enough for Cao Yu. "

Tumen thought for a while and thought it made sense, but asked again: "Then how do you know that Ma Chengxun will not come back soon enough for us to have a fight by the river?" The distance is only more than twenty miles, if Ma Chengxun spares no effort in this time, even if he runs back and forth, it won't take long?"

Brihatu said with a smile: "Cao Yu and Ma Chengxun are different in age, status and situation, so their ideas are completely different.

For Cao Yu, he is an old Liaodong, who has been around Liaodong all his life, but now Li Chengliang is in Liaodong, and there is no chance for him to be promoted as the general soldier.If he is really obsessed with the position of the Liaodong Army, the only chance is not that he can overwhelm Li Chengliang in terms of military exploits.Only if something happened to Li Chengliang himself, and Gao Wu strongly recommended Cao Yu in the court, he would have the possibility of the general town.

Since whether he can become the commander-in-chief does not depend on his military exploits, he must be cautious when fighting, not seeking victory, but seeking invincibility first.It's not too difficult for me to judge his behavior at this time, as long as he thinks carefully. "

Tumen was a little stunned, but Burihatu paused and said: "Ma Chengxun is not the case. He is young and vigorous, and he is born in the clan, but his status in the Ming court is not as good as his peer Ma Chengxun. Cheng En. Da Khan, I have sent someone to understand the resumes of Ma Chengen and Ma Chengxun. The former is the son of Ma Fu, and the latter is the son of Ma Jin. Ma Jin and Ma Fu are the eldest sons of Ma Lu. This son is both Ma Your brother also.

Ma Fu died early. In the past, the "two general soldiers of brothers" of the Ma family were Ma Jin and Ma Gui, while the Li family of Tieling had Li Chengliang and Li Rusong "two general soldiers of father and son". Say.But after Ma Jin's death, Ma Chengen rose to prominence because of his success in continuous combat with Gao Yushi, and was recommended by Gao Yushi as a general of Kaiyuan.

His good luck is not over yet. Not long after Gao Wushi returned to the Ministry of War, there was a veteran Wang Guoxun from Xuanda who resigned due to old age, and Gao Wushi recommended Ma Chengen as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu... The momentum of the two generals was restored, but unfortunately this has nothing to do with Ma Chengxun, he only took over the Kaiyuan General who was vacated by Ma Chengen.

Obviously, everyone's abilities are similar, but the children of the old family are not as good as the children of the second family, and the reason for all this is that the children of the second family fought two more battles with Gao Wushi... Sweating, if you change You are Ma Chengxun, are you in a hurry to make meritorious service and prove in front of Gao Situ that you are as capable as your brothers? "

Tumen really suddenly realized this time, and slapped his thigh: "It turns out that this is the case, Ben Khan understands. Ma Chengxun's mind is very clear now, Ben Khan is very clear. At this time, he is only thinking about fighting and wants to establish a big It’s best that no one else can share the credit with him. This kind of person is very desperate in a war, but his brain may be stubborn, and he will often get into a dead end and can’t get out. It’s easier to deceive.”

Burihatu laughed when he heard the words: "Heroes see the same thing, Dahan, I guess Cao Yan will tell Ma Chengxun to follow our 'army' closely, and can't let him go no matter what. So, this An 'army' will..."

"I'll take Ma Chengxun around." Tumen took the conversation, laughed and said, "Good idea, Brihatu, you were really sent by Changshengtian to assist me."

Brihatu smiled, but reminded slightly: "It is the decree of the Buddha."

"Oh yes, it's the Buddha, the Buddha." Tumen clasped their hands together solemnly, looking very serious.

Brihatu didn't say much this time, just kept smiling.Tumen immediately asked again: "However, even if Ma Chengxun leaves, he won't be able to come back for a while, but... the Ming army is all elites this time, and Ben Khan is worried that it won't be easy."

Speaking of this, Buri Hatu finally restrained his smile, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, Da Khan was very worried. Ever since Gao Wu used a bayonet formation in Monan, the Ming army was defeated in the battle of southern Liaoning. This method was actually used against fried flowers and against Bo Shuo Ketu in the Battle of the Northwest. I have sent people to investigate and found that this method is indeed quite unfavorable to our army.”

Tumen was a little annoyed and confused, and frowned deeply: "I still can't figure out how powerful this bayonet array is? I almost saw Chaohua's defeat with my own eyes, but I accepted it." It's boring, you want to say that the bayonet standing in front of the formation can prevent the horses from charging, but isn't the same with the long spear formation in the past?
And this method is not indestructible, as long as the eyes of the horse are blindfolded, the best and experienced horses will not dare to charge because they are blindfolded. They completely trust the master on their backs. Wouldn't the bayonet array be broken?Why didn't Chaohua and Bo Shuo Ketu think of it? "

Burihatu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The reason why Chaohua and Boshuoketu failed, in the final analysis, is that they didn't know the power of the bayonet array. Da Khan also saw the bayonet of the Ming army, and the bayonet immediately On the ground, it is far inferior to the long spear of the spearman, and it does not look scary. Surprisingly, the shining bayonet can scare the horses, because the horses know that the thing is a deadly thing, and they will be afraid.

In addition, I think the strengthening of Ming army weapons is another reason.The original three-eyed guns of the Ming army (the towns in the north were mainly three-eyed guns at that time) were rarely used as bird guns. It's too late for the war horse to start firing, and the formation that should charge has already rushed in.

But now the Ming army has begun to completely abandon the three-eyed blunderbuss, and most of the Ming army, especially the elite Ming army, have already replaced the bird blunderbuss.As far as I know, these bird guns are almost all produced by Jinghua. Not only can they hit farther than the three-eyed gun, but they can also hit farther than the earlier bird guns. They are also very powerful. .

If that was the case, it wouldn't be a big problem for the war horses. After all, as long as they could break through the defense line of the Ming army, the bayonet array would be broken.But the trouble is that these new bird guns are very loud when they fire, and they emit a bright flame, which is going to kill the horse..."

As soon as you hear this picture, you can understand that not only war horses, but almost any animal is naturally afraid of loud noises and fire.The firecrackers of the Ming army are now equipped with a lot of equipment, and when they fire together, they can swallow the sky with arrogance. Can the horses not be frightened?Once the horses are frightened, even if the knights on the horse are Mongolian athletes, it would be great if they can stabilize themselves on the horseback and not fall off the horse. Do you expect them to successfully complete the charge?Dreaming.

"How can life be good?" After hearing this, Tumen not only became worried: "Since you said that Cao Yu must be careful in everything, even if Ma Chengxun is gone now, the Duhe Ming Army will definitely arrange carefully. Can we Can you successfully beat them to death?"

Brihatu knew that, in fact, whether the horses were afraid of bayonet formations or fire, they could be solved by blindfolding, and that loud noises could be solved by plugging their ears.

However, the problem is that the muskets of the Ming army are firing too loudly, and the ears can’t be plugged. If we really want to solve this “trouble”, we must deafen the ears of the horses in advance—but the Mongols regard the horses as brothers and partners. , almost half their lives, how could they be willing to abuse the horses so much?
No matter how powerful Burihatu was, he would not dare to risk the disgrace of the world by proposing to pierce the ears of the deaf horse, so there was no way to solve this problem.The only thing he can do is try to use other methods to spread the number of the Ming army, forming a tactical advantage of fighting more and fighting less, and then... fight hard!
Yes, the Mongols, who have never dared to fight tough battles because of their population disadvantage, must fight a tough battle this time.

Brihatu knew that if the method of controlling cavalry in the bayonet formation was regarded as a magic weapon for victory by the Ming army, perhaps only the elite army would do it now, but in the future, maybe all the Ming army would follow this method.At that time, Mongolia's combat advantage over the Ming army will completely disappear.

By that time, as long as the Ming army started a war against Mongolia, they could fight whatever they wanted.No matter how mobile the Mongolian cavalry was, it was impossible to kill the Ming army by going around in circles. At the end of the circle, they still had to fight hand to hand, but as soon as they fought, the Ming army could turn themselves into hedgehogs, and the Mongols couldn't get close at all.

That's it.

Therefore, Brihatu had to destroy the Ming army's high hopes for the bayonet formation, and make them doubt whether the so-called step-based cavalry in the bayonet formation was really effective.He believes that as long as there are doubts in the Ming army or the Ming court, in the current full-scale confrontation between the real school and the heart school, the heart school will definitely oppose the real school, and the bayonet formation may not be able to be carried out smoothly by the whole army.

"For the current plan, we can only wait for Cao Yu's main force to cross the river, and our army will concentrate our forces to break through the broken bayonet array left behind by him alone." Brihatu's eyes flashed sharply, and he gritted his teeth: "At any cost! "

Tumen was terrified.
