To the south! To the south!

Under the scorching sun, more than 10,000 athletes wearing Lao national clothes and armor are rolling south.

Crossing Shilong Pass to Shunzhou is a rare plain, less rugged and a little more flat, which is undoubtedly more advantageous for the march.

Ma Dajun only repaired in Shilongguan for one night, and then left the thousands of mountain troops who had been out of touch and arrived overnight in Shilongguan, and led more than 10,000 repaired troops to Shunzhou City.

He didn't have time to wait for Zhu Di!

Capture Shunzhou, choke the necks of Laos and Siam, and then wait for Zhu Di's Chinese army to assemble.

How much credit can be made along the way, Ma Dajun has his own calculations in his heart, as long as he can take it independently, there is absolutely no reason to share it with others!

"There are only 30,000 people in the city of Shunzhou, which is really a great honor from God."

Ma Dajun is also wearing Lao national clothes and armor, in order not to show the horse's feet, even went to Nanjing to show his merits, and the fish clothes given by the emperor Lao Tzu were taken off in Shilong Pass.

Looking at the scorching sun overhead, beads of sweat rolled on Ma Dajun's face, making the latter wipe his cheeks irritably.

"This hot place."

"You're hot purely because you miss your daughter-in-law."

After staying with Ma Dajun for a long time, Chen Chunsheng is no longer as pure as when he first joined the army, and his words are a little more vulgar.

"Since you left Yunnan for more than a month, your mother has been in the camp all day long like a donkey with spring hair."

Ma Dajun laughed, who in the entire mountain army now doesn't know the reputation of his Ma Dajun, not to mention the fame of the first war, he added the lord from Nanjing and received a large sum of silver, and after he came back, he added three rooms in one go, and the wife of the family didn't even dare to fart.

What is a gentleman?

That's it!

"You were impatient in the barracks because you missed women?"

The blood on his body seemed to be scorched by the scorching sun, and Ma Dajun said in high spirits: "Lao Tzu simply can't wait to fight, while there is still this blood, I have to replace the uncle on my head with a marquis!" ”

Looking at the arrogance of Ma Dajun's face, Chen Chunsheng was very envious, the entire mountain army now, except for the commander Mu Sheng is a marquis, there is only this Ma Dajun, the lord of the earl.

"What kind of strength are you angry, if you have the ability, you will be a prince in the future."

Guogong?

Ma Dajun's eyes lit up, and he slapped Chen Chunsheng on the shoulder: "You're right!" If you want to be in place, you can be a prince of the country! When Lao Tzu becomes the prince of the country, I will make you my son, and when I die, you will be the first heir. ”

"Fuck your uncle."

The two of them fought a few more words, but they were both thirsty, so they found a shade to rest, opened the kettle and drank a few sips each. Stop and watch the procession move south from the front of you. From time to time, you can still hear a few words of Zhou Yunfan's scolding and insulting.

This is Zhou Yunfan urging those Laos who were captured from Shilong Pass to surrender their troops.

"This group of southern barbarians, they are really slow."

Ma Dajun frowned and scolded.

Hanging the kettle back on his waist, Ma Dajun took a few steps, watched several Lao soldiers lying on the ground panting, directly pulled out his waist knife, and cut off his head one by one.

"One hundred and twenty miles a day, is it much!"

There are more than 200 miles from Shilongguan to Shunzhou, and the day set by Ma Dajun is two days!

The seventh pulls out the camp, and the ninth must arrive at night!

"Lao Tzu's words are thrown here, as long as I rush to Shunzhou City on time, and when the city gate is opened, Lao Tzu will let you live, if you can't catch up, don't blame Lao Tzu for slaughtering you all!"

Carrying a bloody human head, Ma Dajun walked around the captive team with a vicious face, and the scarlet blood was dripping all over the ground, which also frightened the other dozens of Lao soldiers with earthy faces, and suddenly felt that their legs had added a lot of strength.

Seeing that his killing might had intimidated this group of soldiers, Ma Dajun laughed proudly.

In this world, there is nothing that cannot be solved with a knife, and if there is, it can only mean that the knife is not sharp enough.

"Speed up the march!"

Shilongguan.

Since receiving the military report sent by Ma Dajun, Zhu Di's footsteps have been even faster, almost Ma Dajun's front foot pulled out the camp and went south, and within two hours, Zhu Di's army arrived at the place on the back foot.

"What a tiger general."

Standing on the city gate tower, Zhu Di looked south, and praised Zhu Gaoxu, who was guarding beside him: "You have always boasted that you are a brave young man, after all, you are a frog at the bottom of the well, in this southwest realm, this will not be inferior to you." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was busy leaning on the battlements to rest this time, this group of southwest soldiers could go!

This is a mountainous area, Zhu Gaoxu has been riding a horse in the past few years, where to walk hundreds of miles on two legs, this day and night to catch down, so that this Yan Zhao man is tired and breaks his legs.

But even so, when he heard Zhu Di's words, he was still stubborn: "It's just a short man, but he has taken advantage of it since he was a child in this realm, if he throws it to Mo Nan to fight Warat and Tatar, Dad, look at it again, which of us is more powerful." ”

Knowing his son, Zhu Gaoxu's reaction was completely within Zhu Di's expectations, and he laughed immediately.

"Traveling one hundred and thirty miles in a day, attacking the city overnight, and daring to lead the army to attack Shunzhou with several wounds, so brave, this person will become a pillar of my Ming Dynasty in the future, your vision is too narrow, you can't just look at those herdsmen in the north, and the southwest is just as important."

"But since ancient times, aren't they all the nomads on the grassland, who are the henchmen of my Han people?"

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't understand, what was there to watch out for in this place in the southwest? For thousands of years, the Central Plains has always been an absolute dominance over the southwest, and if you want to fight, you can fight, and if you don't want to fight, you can be appeased, and you can be regarded as the enemy of the Ming Dynasty?

"Confidant?"

Zhu Di sneered abruptly with disdain.

"On Dingkou, the two parts of Warat and Tatar together are not as large as the population of Annan, and in terms of armament, since the withdrawal from the Central Plains more than 30 years ago, there is no iron, no craftsmen, and they are not even able to ride and shoot.

If you don't do farming, when it comes to the cold winter, you will freeze to death every year, even if it has been hundreds or thousands of years, it will not develop. ”

As long as the Central Plains does not weaken, nomads will never be qualified to be called enemies!

This involves a question of war potential, and the nomads plundering the border to the south, and the horses to the Central Plains, always taking advantage of the fire to rob. After all, the gap in population base and weapons and equipment is not something you can make up for by riding a horse, and once the dynasty in the Central Plains also began to have a formed cavalry, then relying on the advantage of armor, the nomads are not opponents.

Zhu Di's 40,000 heavy cavalry dared to chase hundreds of thousands of Tatars to flee west, why?

It is because their bows, arrows and sabers can't break through the chain mail, but the nomads' animal skin skirts can't stop the Ming Dynasty's Yanling knife.

"Lao Tzu sent you to lecture in the martial arts hall, it seems that you haven't learned anything either."

Zhu Di sighed: "We are afraid of the nomads, not because we can't beat them, but because we can't beat them, they can come and go as they please, we can't, and if we leave the baggage, we will starve to death." That's why they have been blown and reborn for hundreds of years. ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu was still ignorant, Zhu Di was angry and slapped him on the head: "Brainless thing, go and check the city defense, Lao Tzu wants to sleep for a while." ”

"Dad, I'm sleepy too."

"You're young, you're energetic, and you're guarding carefully. When Lao Tzu wakes up, we will leave camp and go south. ”

No, back then, in the Northland, the old man could fight for three days and two nights in a row, and he was tired after just a few steps?

Zhu Gaoxu was shocked and shouted at Zhu Di's back.

"Dad, are you overdrawn kidneys?"

Above the city tower of Shilong Pass, there was a sudden silence.
