Chapter 161: Nancha Turmoil (Twenty-Five) Fraud
It is understandable that Ma Chengxun expects to be highly pragmatic and impressive, although outsiders are "Ma Jiajiang" as soon as they open their mouths, but everyone knows that the core of this Ma Jiajiang is always Ma Gui. Even when Ma Jin was still in office, the Ma family would be known as the "two brothers", but in fact, Gao Pragmatic was still more willing to use Ma Gui, as long as it was in the direction of Xuanda, Gao Situ would take Ma Gui with him.
Ma Jin is the eldest brother of Ma Gui, followed by the second brother Ma Fu, and Ma Gui is the third son, the third son of Datong General Ma Lu, and the youngest son. Ma Chengxun is the son of Ma Jin, not much younger than the third uncle Ma Gui.
China has been very particular about this thing since ancient times, and the qualifications are the same, Ma Chengxun did not dare to compare with Ma Gui, but he was very concerned that Ma Chengxuan, the son of Ma Gui, also began to enter the army, and regarded him as a competitor of the same sect.
The same clan means that their great interests are the same; Competitors mean that they also have comparisons between them, and they have to compete for the importance of each other.
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 the card of Ma Gui to support the door, and also relied on him to maintain the status of the Ma family in the eyes of Gao Situ, it was gradually a situation where there was no distinction between large and small sects.
Although Ma Gui himself takes good care of the nephews left by the two brothers, and they also respect Ma Gui, this can't change Ma Chengxun's mentality of wanting to "recast the glory of the main family", he still wants to make more meritorious contributions and get Gao Situ's attention.
The sole leader of the cavalry to pursue the main forces of Tumen and Buzhhatu in this battle is an excellent opportunity in Ma Chengxun's view. Although Cao Yan's order made it very clear that Ma Chengxun's main task this time was only to interfere with Buzhihatu's "plan", no matter what Buzhihatu wanted to do, Ma Chengxun only needed to be responsible for sabotage.
Such a task, the subtext is to follow closely and harass, and it is obviously used as a ranger, and Ma Chengxun is of course very clear. However, as the so-called impermanence of soldiers and impermanence of water, after he led the troops to leave alone, how to make a decision under the changing enemy situation is another matter.
Ma Chengxun moved quickly and immediately began to return. At this not too far distance, Ma Chengxun divided the cavalry into two parts, on the west side near the Yehe River was the Ming cavalry, including his own troops and the part given to him by Cao Yan; On the east side, near the forest, were the eight thousand cavalry of Yeh-Lebel, who were tasked with 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 hidden, but their speed would not be fast, as long as they returned to Dongcheng with all their might, they would definitely be able to come first and wait outside Dongcheng before the Mongols.
In the forest, Tumen Khan's nose kept exhaling white breath, and the funny thing was that only one side had it, and the other side might have a stuffy nose, and the breath seemed to be nothing.
"Fuck it, why is it colder in the woods than on the prairie?" Tumen Khan didn't have the strength to ventilate, but it didn't help, and he couldn't help but curse hatefully.
Buzhihatu sat quietly on the fur cushion on the side, still holding a book in his hand, and replied with a chuckle: "Don't be anxious, Cao Yan will definitely let Ma Chengxun return to Shidongcheng, we just need to wait a little longer, and we can go out of the mountain." The humidity in the forest is heavy, it is easy to get typhoid fever, and it is inconvenient to make a fire at the moment, so it is better to sweat profusely and put on another layer of fox fur? ”
"If you don't wear it, you won't be able to dance round with another layer of knives." Tumen waved his hand, sat down too, turned his head to Burihatu and asked, "Ben Khan still doesn't understand, why Cao Yan will definitely send Ma Chengxun back to Dongcheng?" We don't have enough gunpowder to blow up the city, it's freezing this day, and it's very troublesome to dig tunnels. There are only a few hundred people left in Xicheng now, as long as he Cao Yan crosses the river, he may be able to go down with a drum, and at this time he will send Ma Chengxun back? ”
Seeing that the Tumen were genuinely asking, Buzhhatu put down the book and replied: "Great Khan, we know what you said, but Cao Yan doesn't know. He didn't know how much gunpowder we had, he didn't know if we were determined to dig tunnels to blow up the city, and he didn't know that we only had a few hundred guards left in Xicheng.
He didn't know anything, and the Ming army was very rare to fight in the winter, no matter what his strategic intention was at this moment, whether it was to recapture Xicheng or defeat our army, he would inevitably insist on seeking stability first and then victory.
If stability is required, Dongcheng must not allow for loss, otherwise the Ming army will become a rootless drifter, and the Yehe department will also be separated from Germany. But at this time, it is impossible for him to return to the division with the whole army, so he can only let Ma Chengxun go back and have a look. In Cao Yan's opinion, no matter what our army is going to do on this trip, Ma Chengxun is enough to cause us trouble and make us unable to do anything, and this is enough for Cao Yan. ”
Tumen thought about it and felt that it made sense, but asked again: "Then how do you know that Ma Chengxun will not come back soon, enough for us to do a job by the river?" Ben Khan means that the distance between the two places is only more than 20 miles, and if Ma Chengxun spares no horsepower at this time, it won't be long before he runs back and forth? ”
Burihatu said with a smile: "Cao Yan and Ma Chengxun are different in age, and their status and situation are also different, and their ideas are completely different.
For Cao Yan, he is an old Liaodong, who has been spinning in Liaodong all his life, and now there is Li Chengliang in Liaodong, and there is no chance for him to be promoted as the chief soldier. If he is really obsessed with the position of the Liaodong General Army, the only chance is not that he can beat Li Chengliang in terms of military exploits. Only when something happened to Li Chengliang himself, and Gao Pragmatic strongly recommended Cao Yan in the DPRK, he could have the possibility of the head town.
Since whether he can become a general soldier or not depends on his military exploits, then he will definitely be cautious when fighting, not seeking victory, but first seeking undefeated. It's not too hard for me to judge his actions at this point, as long as I think about him carefully. ”
Tumen was a little stunned, and Bu Rihatu paused and said: "Ma Chengxun is not, he is young and vigorous, and he is from a long family in the clan, but his status in the Ming Court is not as good as Ma Chengen's generation." Great Khan, I sent someone to learn about 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, and this son is also the brother of Ma Gui.
Ma Fu died early, in the past, the Ma family's 'two brothers' were Ma Jin and Ma Gui, and the Tieling Li family had Li Chengliang and Li Rusong "father and son two general soldiers", and the Ming people said that there was 'East Li and West Ma'. However, after Ma Jin's death, Ma Chengen rose up because of his continuous combat achievements with Gao Pragmatic, and was recommended by Gao Pragmatic as the general of Kaiyuan.
His good luck is not over, not long after Gao Pragmatic returned to the Ministry of War, there was a veteran Wang Guoxun who stepped down due to old age at Xuanda, and Gao Pragmatic recommended Ma Chengen as the chief soldier of Xuanfu...... The Ma family has restored the momentum of one door and two general soldiers, but unfortunately this has nothing to do with Ma Chengxun, he only took over as the Kaiyuan general vacated by Ma Chengen.
Obviously, everyone's abilities are different, 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 have fought two battles with Gao Pragmatic...... Great Khan, if you are Ma Chengxun, are you in a hurry to make meritorious service and prove that your ability is no worse than your own brother in front of Gao Pragmatic Gao Situ? ”
Tumen really suddenly realized this time, and slapped his thigh: "So that's what happened, Ben Khan understood." Ma Chengxun's current mind is very clear, at this time, he is thinking about fighting, and he wants to make a big contribution, and it is best that no one else can share the merit with him. This kind of person is very fatal to fight, but his brain may be tendoned, and many times he will get into a dead end and can't get out, which is easier to deceive. ”
Hearing this, Buri Hatu laughed: "The hero sees the same thing, Great Khan, I guess Cao Yan will definitely tell Ma Chengxun to follow our 'army' closely, and he can't let go no matter what." So, this 'army' will ......"
"Will take Ma Chengxun around in circles." Tumen took the words and laughed: "Good idea, Bu Rihatu, you are really sent by the Immortal Heaven to assist me." ”
Buri Hatu smiled, but reminded slightly: "It is the Buddha's decree." ”
"Oh yes, it's the Buddha, the Buddha." Tumen folded their hands solemnly and looked serious.
This time, Burihatu didn't say much, just kept a smile. 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 came this time all the elite, and Ben Khan was worried that it would not be easy to gnaw. ”
Speaking of this, Buzhihatu finally restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "Yes, the Great Khan is extremely worried. Since Gao Shishi used a bayonet array in Monan, the Ming army actually used this method in the later battle of southern Liaonan against fried flowers and in the battle of Northwest against Boshuoktu. I have sent people to find out from various sources, and I have found that this method is indeed quite unfavorable to our army. ”
Tumen was a little annoyed and a little incomprehensible, frowning deeply: "I still can't figure it out, what is the power of this bayonet array?" I almost saw the defeat of the fried flowers with my own eyes, but I wondered, you have to say that the bayonet standing in front of the formation can make the war horse dare not rush to kill, but isn't it the same with the spear formation in the past?
And this method is not unbreakable, as long as the eyes of the war horse are blindfolded, the best experienced war horses will not dare to rush into battle because their eyes are blindfolded, they completely trust the master on their backs, so that the bayonet array will not be broken? Why didn't I think of fried flowers, and Boshuoktu didn't expect either? ”
Buzhhatu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. The reason why the two failed, in the final analysis, was that they didn't know the power of the bayonet array. The Great Khan had also seen the bayonets of the Ming army, which stood on the ground and were far inferior to the spearmen's extended spears, which did not look intimidating. Surprisingly, the bright bayonet could scare the war horses, because the war horses knew that it was a terrible thing, and they would be afraid.
In addition to this, I think the strengthening of the Ming military firearms 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, and they would only fire at a short distance, so the war horses were not afraid of that thing, and when the Ming army fired, the war horses were too late to be afraid, and the array that should have rushed into it had already rushed in.
But now the Ming army has begun to completely abandon the three-eyed gun, and most of the Ming army, especially the elite Ming army, has long been dressed with bird guns. As far as I know, almost all of these bird guns are from Jinghua, not only farther than the three-eyed guns, but also farther than the earlier bird guns, and the power is also very great, if you hit the vital point, it will almost kill you.
If this is the case, it is not a big problem for the war horses, after all, as long as they can break through the Ming army's defense line, this bayonet array will be broken. But the trouble is that these new bird guns are very loud when they fire, and they will emit bright fire, which is fatal for the war horse......"
As soon as they heard this diagram, they understood that not only war horses, but in fact almost any animal were naturally afraid of loud noises and fires. The Ming army's firearms are now equipped with a lot of equipment, and when they fire together, they are simply arrogant, can the war horses not be frightened? Once the war horse is frightened, even if the knight on the horse is a Mongolian athlete, it is great to be able to stabilize himself on the back of the horse without falling off the horse, and expect them to successfully complete the charge? Dreaming.
"How can that be good?" After hearing this, the Tumen not only became worried: "Since you said that Cao Yan must be careful in everything, then even if Ma Chengxun is gone now, the Ming army crossing the river will definitely be carefully arranged, can we successfully beat them down?" ”
