23. Take the initiative
When Ma Gui and Xiao Ruhui came to the outskirts of Pinglu City with 500 cavalry and 2,500 foot soldiers, they saw 6,000 heads piled up outside Pinglu City from a distance, and they were all shocked and abnormal, and even peed their pants directly, seeing Ma Gui was very unhappy! The soldiers who peed their pants here and the several soldiers of the Majia Army that he brought out single-handedly were really disgraced to him!
Xiao Ruhui was directly stunned, and it took a while before she closed her mouth and swallowed her saliva, and she actually felt a trace of awe for her youngest brother in her heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
That's not what the shameless people of the Nine Sides Gate are accustomed to killing, risking merit and other means, the residents of the city are alive and well, these are real gains, if you don't believe it, you go to see the messy appearance of the south city gate, and there are piles of corpses outside the city that have not burned out, and the heads of thieves can testify, real 6,000-level beheadings! A big victory that can be put into the history books!
Ma Gui was even more keenly aware that after this battle, the entire battle situation would change dramatically, and the rebels would lose nearly 10,000 soldiers at once, and their strength would be greatly damaged, not to mention the death of 3,000 captives to deter the Mongols in Hetao, so that the Mongols would not dare to go south again easily, and the balance of victory would instantly tilt towards the Ming army! His own 3,000 men and horses, plus the remaining soldiers and horses of Xiao Ruxun's troops, can form a mobile force that is not weak, and quickly march westward to kill the rebels' old nest Ningxia Zhencheng, which will definitely greatly deter the rebels!
Xiao Ruhui was still embarrassed.
When the two of them entered the city with the guards, they saw a group of officers waiting there at the gate of the city from a distance, Xiao Ruhui had sharp eyes, and saw Xiao Ruxun standing at the front at a glance.
Xiao Ruxun also determined that the heroic man who came from the horse in front of him was his second brother, Xiao Ruhui.
So Xiao Ruxun also stepped forward, smiling, and when Xiao Ruhui stepped forward and rushed over, they hugged each other.
"Second brother."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Ruhui patted Xiao Ruxun's back fiercely, then looked at Xiao Ruxun with a smile on her face, and looked Xiao Ruxun up and down: "Good boy!" Attaboy! Father didn't teach you in vain! Three thousand people abolished nine thousand rebels! Attaboy! Now, your credit is really towering! My Yan'an Xiao clan will also be famous as the Nine Side Generals! Hahaha! ”
"Thanks to the soldiers' lives! But the second brother and General Ma came too timely! Just now, I was still worrying with my generals about the lack of troops to attack, but now it's good, as soon as these 3,000 reinforcements come, my little brother will have the confidence to take the initiative to attack the rebels! ”
Xiao Ruhui's eyes lit up when she heard it!
"Good! This time, your kid has made a great contribution, and I can't fall behind you as a brother! This time to attack the rebels, I will definitely show my skills for my brother! You and I are in battle together, it should be a good story! Hahaha! ”
Xiao Ruhui laughed for a while, then looked at Xiao Ruxun with concern, and her tone became softer: "Our father and son are separated from each other, and it is difficult for them to take care of each other. ”
Xiao Ruxun shook his head and said with a smile: "The blade of the sword is sharpened by itself, brother, this is the fate of our gate, and it is unshirkable." ”
Xiao Ruhui nodded with satisfaction: "To have such an awareness is the beginning of a famous general, fourth brother, work hard, don't let others look down on us Xiao and look down on us!" ”
Xiao Ruxun nodded fiercely.
After a while, Ma Gui rode his horse to arrive, more than a dozen steps away, Ma Gui turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and hugged his fist is a military salute: "General Xiao is brave and good at fighting, breaking the enemy army, and greatly increasing the majesty of my nine-sided generals, Ma Gui really admires!" ”
Xiao Ruxun smiled: "General Ma is too famous!" The last general has long heard of General Ma's prestige, and if you want to talk about military qualifications, the last general will be among the juniors! General Ma was able to lead the army to help, and the last general was very grateful! ”
Ma Gui had a good impression of Xiao Ruxun, and stepped forward to get closer: "Hahahaha!" After Wei Zhitai received General Xiao's letter of request for help, he quickly ordered us to come to support, and we led the army to hurry up, but I didn't expect to be able to help General Xiao, I am really ashamed! But it was General Xiao who fought alone! ”
Xiao Ruxun hurriedly shook his head and said: "General Ma, don't say this, after all, the last general is surrounded, and the news can't be spread, General Ma is actually just right to come at this time, the last general is worried that there are not enough troops to attack the rebels here, and General Ma's reinforcements have arrived, which is really timely!" ”
"Oh?!" Ma Gui became interested: "I didn't catch up with this big battle, I really feel uncomfortable, since General Xiao still thinks about him, then, I would like to hear about it!" ”
Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand and pointed to the city: "Please enter the city with the two generals, and I will talk in detail after entering the city!" ”
The three men entered the city side by side.
Entering the military camp in the city, Xiao Ruxun also introduced his three subordinates to Ma Gui and Xiao Ruhui, these three people also made great contributions this time, two of them shared the credit for killing the power rabbit, and one person won the credit for killing the deputy general Biyun, as for Biyun, because he was beaten into a sieve by the bird's heart, so this credit was unanimously recognized by everyone as Xiao Ruxun, because Xiao Ruxun couldn't fight due to trauma, but he has been hitting the enemy with bird guns and crossbow arrows, anyway, I don't know who did it, it's Xiao Ruxun!
Xiao Ruhui carefully examined Xiao Ruxun's wound when she heard this, and found that the wound was growing well, so she was relieved, and learned that Xiao Ruxun had defeated Tu Wenxiu's army before the battle with Biyun, which was equivalent to two victories, and she was even more overjoyed; Ma Gui said with envy that after this war, Xiao Ruxun was at least a deputy commander-in-chief.
Xiao Ruxun, deputy chief soldier of the general army or something, Xiao Ruxun only wanted to solve this battle as soon as possible, and then wrote a letter to request to join the Korean campaign, according to his expectations, it is now March 18, and it is only a dozen days before the Japanese army crosses the sea to attack North Korea on a large scale, and it is only more than two months before the Ming army sends troops to help, if this battle drags on until September like in the previous life, it will be too bad for himself.
Xiao Ruxun is hoping to get enough qualifications in this battle, and at least get the position of commander of a front army in the battle of Korea with the aftermath of winning the war, and have a good fight with the so-called elite of the Warring States in Japan, the battle of Wanli Korea failed to completely cripple the Japanese army but let their main force successfully retreat, so that Xiao Ruxun has always been a pity, and the iron cannon that the Japanese army is good at also brought great trouble to the Ming army at the beginning, Xiao Ruxun decided to use his best tactics to teach these daring people what it means to be human!
There is one more point - Xiao Ruxun will definitely not let Nurhachi have a good time!
"In addition to the 1,500 soldiers and horses in my department, there are 1,000 soldiers, I plan to use this 1,000 soldiers as the vanguard to fight, and then our two armies will be combined into one army, so that the total strength will exceed 5,000, and we will have the strength to fight with the rebels in the field.
Xiao Ruxun has a lot of trust in his car artillery, the sky is very good during this time, it is estimated that there will be no rain in the next few days, Xiao Ruxun is happy, but also a little worried, after all, this is the time of spring ploughing, Xiao Ruxun has arranged for the soldiers to help the people start spring ploughing, and their own tun fields will also start farming, although the yield is not high, but it can be satisfied, if it does not rain all the time, it is not good.
Ma Gui and Xiao Ruhui couldn't imagine this, and heard that Xiao Ruxun set up an ambush on the city wall of Nanguan, broke the rebels with firearms, and turned the entire Nanguan into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
But the strength of 5,500 people, no matter what, should also fight with the enemy, even if a few hundred people are left to defend the city and prepare for war, there are 5,000 troops that can be mobilized, and there are 5,000 people who dare not go to war, that is cowardice, not to mention that Wei Xuezeng's order is "camera battle", giving them the power to command on the spot, which makes Xiao Ruxun very happy.
"After this defeat, the morale of the rebels has declined, I also heard in the camp that the acting general soldier Li Yun led the army to cross the Yellow River north, and is confronting the rebels, and the guerrilla general Zhao Wu also led the army to deal with the rebels in Yuquan and other places, the rebels are actually facing the enemy on both sides, the situation is worrying, our army annihilated a new force of their army, and even brought a big victory to attack it, it will be like a bamboo! If you play well, you can play a role in fixing the top! ”
Ma Gui analyzed very excitedly.
