The Ming officials have never been united, so that Luo Xin has no worries at all.
"Kill!"
Ma Fang's expression was hideous, and he shouted coldly.
With Ma Fang's heavy drinking, nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command rushed towards a group of grassland cavalry with only about 1,000 people, all of them mercilessly waved their weapons and slashed towards the other party.
In an instant, the two teams were strangled together, their heads rolling down one after another, and their stumps and flesh flying sideways.
These days, since Ma Fang got the supplies given by Luo Xin and left the capital, he began to collect the defeated soldiers, when the city of Datong was broken, although the grassland coalition army slaughtered the city, but there were still many soldiers who escaped, just a few days, Ma Fang's army has approached 10,000 people.
So, Ma Fang began to send countless scouts on the periphery of the grassland coalition army to inquire about the military situation, and when he learned that Luo Xin used land mines to defeat the grassland coalition army, and snatched all the grain and grass robbed by the grassland back to the capital, he knew that his opportunity had come.
The grassland coalition army that had lost its grain and grass must send cavalry to plunder grain and grass everywhere and provide it to the army, so Ma Fang took his nearly 10,000 soldiers and began to ambush those grassland cavalry who came out to rob grain and grass.
Originally, with the passage of time, Ma Fang gathered more and more soldiers, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought against the grassland cavalry in the field, and the combat power was too different, although because Ma Fang's actions were very cautious every time, he specially selected those grassland coalition forces with a small number of people to start, often with ten times the number of people to besiege and kill, and they were absolutely superior in numbers, but every time it was a tragic victory.
Gather a batch, die a batch.
If you count the people he gathered, he already has more than 35,000 people, but now only 9,000 generals, and the rest of the more than 20,000 people have died in the battle with the steppe coalition army.
But......
These nearly 9,000 people have gradually honed their strength, and with the charm of a strong army, the veterans who have survived the constant war are indeed different. And the most important thing is that by intercepting and killing the steppe cavalry, they also got a lot of war horses, at this time, there are nearly 9,000 people, and more than 5,000 people are already riding war horses, which makes their combat power even more qualitatively improved.
Ma Fang firmly believed that after a few wars, all his 9,000 men would be able to become cavalry, and at that time, they would come and go like the wind, and they would become a nightmare for the cavalry of the steppe coalition army to come out and rob grain and grass.
The battle lasted only about two quarters of an hour, and nine thousand men surrounded and killed a thousand, and the battle was resolved without missing a beat. Then quickly cleaned up the battlefield, and Ma Fang quickly left with his men.
"General Ma, if we continue to intercept and kill, the steppe Tartars will have no more food and grass, and maybe the steppe Tartars will retreat." A bearded general laughed.
Ma Fang shook his head and said: "Now there are only so many soldiers we can gather, and those who can't be collected may have fled far away, even if we are looking around, we can't find it."
We gathered more than 35,000 soldiers, and in the end only 9,000 remained, and in the first battle, we had nearly 1,000 dead, and now there are only 8,000 left. Our combat power and the grassland cavalry cannot be compared, in the plain and the grassland cavalry head-on, our 8,000 people come a few more times, I am afraid that we will be almost killed, this is not the result that the old man wants, nor is it the result that Lord Luo wants. ”
"Then we ......"
"Let's go to Datong!" Ma Fang's eyes looked at Datong and said: "Datong has now become an empty city, there are only 1,000 grassland coalition troops stationed, as long as we succeed in the raid, we will be able to take Datong over, and then Datong will become a moat stuck in the grassland where the grassland coalition army retreats to the grassland." ”
"That'...... If Lord Luo can't hold the capital......"
"I believe that Lord Luo, if he can't hold the capital, there will be no one in Daming to defend it, even if we stay here to harass the grassland coalition army, it won't work."
"That'...... If the grassland is not defeated, but withdrawn to the grassland in an orderly manner, we only have 8,000 people, will we be able to hold Datong? ”
"I believe that Lord Luo will not let the grassland coalition army evacuate safely, they will definitely be defeated and flee. When we fall in Datong, we must stand up again in Datong and use Huang Taiji's head to wash away the shame of our soldiers. ”
Ma Fang's voice drifted far behind, allowing the eight thousand soldiers to hear it clearly, and everyone's eyes released a resolute look and clenched the weapons in their hands.
"What is the condition of the grain and grass?" Ma Fang turned his head and asked.
"Excellent! Originally, Lord Luo gave us a lot of grain and grass, and recently we snatched some grain and grass from the grassland coalition army. If we only feed the 8,000 people, it will be enough for us to eat for more than a month. ”
"Good! Day and night, go to Datong. ”
Grassland.
A cavalry team of nearly 2,000 people galloped on the grassland, which was the tribal cavalry of Zhongjin Hatun, at this time, if you look at it from a distance, this team does not look like a grassland person at all, because their equipment is the equipment of the Ming Dynasty, which is the equipment they looted from the Ming Dynasty. With these equipment, coupled with the strength of each body, and the amazing riding and shooting, this is definitely a terrifying force.
Zhong Jin Hatun returned to the grassland tribe and brought back a large amount of grain and grass, which made the tribesmen happy. However, the next day, Zhong Jin Hatun led the elite of the clan to start the expedition.
Stomp ......
The sound of horses' hooves pounding on the ground in a hurry, Lu Zhonglian and Zhong Jinhatun galloped side by side on the grassland. A steppe tribe appeared in front of them, and Chung Kim Hatun pointed his scimitar in the air.
"Kill!"
Nearly 2,000 cavalry swept through like a gale, and anyone who dared to resist was beheaded......
Originally, there were not many people left in the grassland tribe who could fight, but in an instant, those who dared to resist were all killed, and the rest of the people knelt on the ground tremblingly.
Although they were trembling, they didn't actually have much panic in their hearts. Tribes on the steppe often fought against each other, and as long as they were slaves, their lives would not be in danger.
Zhong Jin Hatun skillfully gathered these surrenderers, leaving behind dozens of supervisors, and then led the army to gallop towards the next tribe in the grassland.
Luo Xin didn't know about Ma Fang and Zhong Jin Hatun's actions at this time, although he could guess, but he couldn't receive any news. The steppe coalition besieged the capital, and internal and external news was blocked.
However, Luo Xin knew that no matter how well Ma Fang outside and Zhong Jin Hatun on the grassland did well, the key to determining the outcome was still in the capital, and this was the place where the victory or defeat would be decided.
If the capital is broken, what Ma Fang and Zhong Jin Hatun do is useless, and only if the capital wins, what Ma Fang and Zhong Jin Hatun do will reflect the value.
