Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Jia Rong led the army and ran all the way, and did not order to rest until the men and horses were exhausted. He walked into the carriage and saw that Wei Fu was fine, and his face was not as pale as before. Jia Rong was relieved, and left the carriage after telling the doctor .

As soon as he got off the carriage, Jia Rong found that beside the carriage there was a young man with a thick head and a thick head who was constantly looking at him, so he couldn't help but walked forward out of curiosity.

"Little friend, what's your name? How old are you?" Jia Rong asked with what he thought was the most kind smile.

The young man blinked his eyes and replied, "My name is Ma Chao, and I am ten years old this year."

Jia Rong was startled, and carefully sized up the young man named Ma Chao in front of him. He really deserved to be Ma Mengqi from Xiliang. Even though he was only ten years old, his aura could not be underestimated. He had no doubts about the young man in front of him. In the future, he will become a mighty general.

Ordinarily, after traveling for so long, Ma Chao, a ten-year-old boy, should be tired, but he is alive and well.

"Well, it's very good, practice martial arts well!" Jia Rong stretched out his hand to pat Ma Chao's head, also wanting to play a prank, and after the news spread, he patted Ma Chao's head with his own hands.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao dodged nimbly, and looked at Jia Rong with a vigilant expression. He looked like a cunning fox just now.

Ma Teng, who came from not far away, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help scolding: "Chao'er, don't be rude, and meet General Jia soon."

Ma Chao was scolded, and he pouted dissatisfiedly and came to Jia Rong's side and said, "Ma Chao has seen the general!"

Jia Rong chuckled, stroked Ma Chao's head and said, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs. After watching Ma Chao, I will definitely become a famous general."

At first Ma Chao was very disgusted with Jia Rong touching his head, but when he heard Jia Rong's praise, he couldn't help but brow up, and Ma Teng beside him was also very happy.

Seeing Ma Chao's happy expression, Jia Rong said, "Chao'er must study martial arts with all his heart, and become a general in charge in the future, destroying bandits and defending the country."

Ma Chao nodded half-understood, and Jia Rong also realized that he had said too much, even if he was more mature, what could a ten-year-old child understand.

Ma Teng said with a smile, "Chao'er, go to your mother's place."

Ma Chao said goodbye to Jia Rong very politely, and left with a skip.

Jia Rong said: "How are the soldiers in the army?"

Ma Teng shook his head and said: "The [-] soldiers in the humble headquarters are alright, the rest of the people are flustered, and dozens of soldiers escaped on the marching road." Speaking of this, Ma Teng blushed, after all, he led the army The appearance of deserters is the biggest dereliction of duty of the general, and he blames himself endlessly.

Jia Rong nodded and said: "I already know about this, you go and gather all the soldiers, I have something to say."

Ma Teng clasped his fists and left as promised.

In his heart, Jia Rong already regarded Ma Teng as one of his own. The fact that Ma Teng is the savior of the Xiliang Army is enough, not to mention that there is Ma Chao, a future general, so he must hold Ma Teng firmly. Trapped on a chariot of the Xiliang Army.

Looking at the orderly Xiliang Army and the crooked Ma Teng soldiers, Jia Rong had mixed feelings. Once upon a time, the Xiliang Army was also such a team, and then it was trained step by step to become an elite soldier.

After Jia Rong coughed and attracted the attention of all the soldiers, he said in a deep voice, "Many of you are not willing to follow the army, I understand that."

"Those who don't want to stay stand to my right hand, and those who want to stay stay where they are. I, Jia Rong, hereby promise that I will never force you." Jia Rong continued.

Ma Teng was shocked when he heard this remark. Now that the Xiliang Army is short of troops, more soldiers means more bargaining chips. Ma Teng is still very self-aware of the soldiers he brought. In the brigade, few soldiers were willing to stay, except for more than [-] soldiers who I brought out from my hometown.

Seeing the emotional expressions of many people, Jia Rong continued: "This is the last chance. I will treat him as a brother if I choose to stay, and I will not embarrass him if I leave."

"The ugly words are up front. If you choose to stay but leave secretly, once you find out that you will be killed without mercy!" Jia Rong's expression sharpened sharply, and Jia Rong said loudly.

More than [-] soldiers of the Xiliang Army remained motionless, their eyes fixed on Jia Rong. The words just now did not appeal to them in any way. They had already passed the age of swinging left and right.

A soldier walked tremblingly to the right of Jia Rong, his face blushing under the eyes of everyone. On the battlefield, deserters are always looked down upon by others, and it is an eternal truth.

Seeing that nothing had changed, many soldiers summoned up their courage and moved to Jia Rong's right hand side. Without exception, their faces were flushed. As the number of soldiers who chose to leave gradually increased, they raised their bowed heads and recovered. look.

For the soldiers who chose to leave, Jia Rong did not make things difficult as promised, but let them leave the weapons and armor on their bodies, and then let them go. As for the food, they could not take a grain of it away. Jia Rong believed that Cheng Qiu, who followed closely, would take them in. soldiers.

Jia Rong didn't want these soldiers to go to the battlefield immediately after encountering the Wuwei army led by Geng Bi on the way back. If they could weaken the enemy, they would be relentless.

Looking at Ma Teng who was hesitant to speak, Jia Rong persuaded: "Soldiers don't care about it. Once a battle starts, it will only drag down our army, and the marching speed of infantry is slow, no more than cavalry can travel hundreds of miles in a day. .”

"What's more, our army ran out of food and grass in a hurry. Leaving these people would only be a burden. Instead of this, it would be better to let them go. It's just a matter of personal preference." Jia Rong explained.

Ma Teng let out a long sigh and stopped speaking, knowing that what Jia Rong said was reasonable, but seeing his former subordinates choose to leave with his own eyes, he was still a little depressed. Ma Teng felt warm in his heart when Jia Rong was able to explain something. This shows that he has entered Jia Rong's circle and is officially recognized by Jia Rong.

In addition to the captured war horses and ownerless war horses, Jia Rong and his party were armed again. All the weapons in their hands were only good ones. This was aimed at the soldiers of Ma Teng's department. It will be of great use.

After the initial discomfort, the infantry led by Ma Teng were able to ride safely on horses. Jia Rong didn't require them to fight on horses like cavalry, as long as they didn't slow down their marching speed.

Seeing the excited expressions of his own soldiers, Ma Teng's unhappiness disappeared. No one wanted to be an infantryman if he could become a cavalryman. The gap, and the irreplaceable combat power on the battlefield.

Seeing the power of Xiliang cavalry, Ma Teng intends to form a cavalry. Now the most difficult horse to solve is Jia Rong's few words. The Qiang people who grew up on horseback are not inferior, but growing up on horseback and cavalry training are two different things, like a person who has a pile of gold but doesn't know how to use it.

Although Jia Rong did not make a promise to give the horses to his side, as long as the training is complete, he still worries that Jia Rong will not add these horses to himself. In the final analysis, the most important problem is how to train these horse infantry. Yu became Ma Teng's biggest breakthrough point. As a cavalry general of the Xiliang Army, how could he not understand the principles of cavalry training.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yu didn't hide his secrets, and personally instructed the soldiers of Ma Teng's troops how to control the horses and how to maintain their movements on the horses.

This kind of temporary training is very cruel. One soldier after another fell from the horseback to the ground, and then climbed on the horseback tenaciously. There were pursuers behind him. They couldn't stop and give detailed explanations. Everything could only be let Soldiers fumbled while falling and getting up.

After getting rid of the burden, Jia Rong is in a good mood. The speed of the cavalry is beyond the reach of the infantry in the city. Jia Rong is not worried about the Wuwei cavalry catching up, but thinking about how to take revenge. It is not Jia Rong's style to endure a loss. What's more, more than 400 cavalry were lost in the city this time.

Those who attacked him at the city gate must also find out, as well as the middle-aged swordsman in white.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong couldn't help cursing secretly, is the Xianlian Pavilion in Wuwei a vegetarian? The army in the city didn't even notice such a big movement, Jia Rong's one thought decided the fate of the director of Wuwei Xianlian Pavilion.

"The matter of Wuwei must be investigated clearly, and find a way to pass the news to Zhang Xiu in Jincheng." Jia Rong said.

Zhang Zhi clasped his fists and said, "No!"

Mentioning Wuwei, Zhang Zhi also gritted his teeth. Lone Wolf has never suffered such a big loss since his debut, and Zhang Zhi unfortunately became the leader of the team this time, and he is duty-bound.

All the soldiers got on their horses and rushed towards Jincheng.

Within two days of walking, the group encountered the first wave of enemies. On the battlefield, Jia Rong habitually threw out all the scouts. A team without scouts or spies was no different from a blind man.

After hearing the scout's report, Jia Rong couldn't help frowning. The enemy army had about a thousand soldiers. In the past, Jia Rong would not pay attention to the infantry with more than a thousand people. The key is the [-] soldiers of the Cheng Qiu Division He chased after him like he was drugged.

"The whole army stops!" Jia Rong ordered.

The messengers quickly conveyed that the Xiliang cavalry had high equestrian skills, but Ma Teng's infantry were not. The interest in first contacting horses has passed, and many soldiers have shown fear. For three days, they also understand that cavalry is not It is so easy to do, if you are not careful, you will be suspected of falling off the horse. The effect of this kind of temporary training is still very significant. All the soldiers can keep the horse running at high speed without falling off.

It is easy to say that the legs are clamped into the horse's belly, but it is extremely painful. Just imagine the horse running, and the friction on the legs alone is a big problem. The legs of all the infantry have been worn out, and Ma Teng is still constantly boosting morale.

Without too many words, Ma Teng just talked about the treatment of Xiliang cavalry with these soldiers, which greatly aroused the soldiers' fighting spirit. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. As a soldier, no one wants to be his own. The treatment is worse than others, especially in the future when he and the cavalry of the Xiliang Army become robes and chat with each other about military pay, the low treatment will only be looked down upon.
