If this method is brought into full play, I am afraid that the cavalry will have to go through a comprehensive tactical improvement before they can be active on the battlefield again.

Sun Shangxiang said casually, "I think that in order to deal with the cavalry attack of the Huns, I don't know how much money it took to deal with the Huns. If there had been such a whimsy, it would not have been bullied like this by those nomads. ”

Bailichuan laughed, "That's not what I said. Although the frontal combat effectiveness of the cavalry will be affected, the mobility of the cavalry will not be hindered in the slightest. If the cavalry moves around on a large scale and attacks our soft underbelly, then we still have one way of thinking. ”

Sun Shangxiang nodded, but too.

Ma Zhong's methods are only easy to use when the two armies face each other.

If the opposite side took advantage of the mobility of the cavalry and attacked everywhere, the soldiers with fishing nets could only stare and eat ashes.

Unexpectedly, Bailichuan continued, "But it is not much difficult to deal with the nomads, and the lord has already had a more ingenious method. ”

"Oh?"

Sun Shangxiang reluctantly raised some interest.

Ma Zhong's plan is still worth appreciating.

"Because of the harsh environment, the livestock on the grassland have a relatively stable estrus and growth period. As mentioned by other departments, as long as the mare is in labor, send cavalry to attack and drive away.

The nomadic tribes, who have lost their mobility, are not our opponents at all because of the mares. Just drive a few more times and kill all their mares, and they will only perish. ”

Sun Shangxiang listened to Bailichuan's words, and clenched his fists tightly.

Her heart, which was slowly burning, was completely cold.

When the mare was pregnant and in labor, troops were sent into the grassland to drive it away.

When there are no more mares in the steppe, it only takes a generation for those nomads to die out completely.

However, the cruelty of this method and the annihilation of human nature were not recognized by Sun Shangxiang at all.

Sun Shangxiang is also a woman.

On the way back, Sun Shangxiang didn't speak again.

After that, I went to find Shen Bing and Zhu Ganglie.

led the nobles of Wu County who stayed in the rear, as well as the children of Wu County who survived the battlefield, and found another place to station.

With Ma Zhong defeating Zhang Liao, taking Liyang was already a breeze.

Ma Zhong's original intention to use on these Wu Jun's disciples was also somewhat dispensable.

As long as he has the foundation of Liyang, a little shepherding by Ma Zhong is enough to become the foundation for him to gain a foothold in the Jiangdong Army.

For the gangster political Jiangdong regime, he doesn't need Sun Quan's approval to already have the right to speak.

Of course, if you can get Sun Quan's worship, it is much better than the current sneaky and unjustifiable name.

In this case, the Wu County hostages captured by those are of little significance.

Many of those children are unscrupulous children of major families in Jiangdong, and for the warlords of Wu County, what is more important is those elite soldiers who have been transferred.

Sun Shangxiang easily took all the children of Wu County away.

On the second day, Ma Zhong didn't say much after hearing about it.

Ma Zhong fulfilled his promise and set up a cauldron on the vast meadow outside the wild boar forest.

Piles of white rice are deliberately placed in the wilderness with the mouth of the bag open.

Ding Feng took a few soldiers to the wild boar forest and killed all those wild boars.

Bailichuan was not idle, he killed some of the horses that were killed in battle, and the horses that were too injured to be used.

For the next ten days, the vast expanse of land was filled with the aroma of food at any given time.

When the soldiers woke up, they went to the stove to eat around.

When you're full, go back to sleep.

When he slept enough and was not hungry, he went to the surrounding mountains and forests to hunt and look for wild things.

Those old battalion leaders from the prodigal army are the best at this, and the woods they have traveled through are like losing with a comb.

All kinds of small animals, mushrooms, birds, wild vegetables, as well as fish and shrimp in the river, and shellfish were all looted.

Then it was thrown into the pot indiscriminately and boiled.

The only ones who were spared were the birds in the camp.

Originally, the soldiers guarding the place planned to catch all the birds afterwards and improve the food.

However, Ma Zhong thanked the birds for their merits, and ordered the soldiers to remove the fishing nets and withdraw from the back camp, and then sealed the back camp full of bird nests as a place for those birds to live.

After this incident came out, it was exchanged for a sigh from Sun Shangxiang.

Li Fei asked tentatively, if he wanted to let Leshui, who had lost his subordinates, take over the head of the camp vacated by Ji Li.

Ma Zhong is highly sensitive to this matter.

He knew very well that in this matter, he must not cross the line.

So, Ma Zhong immediately convened a military meeting, bowed to Ji Li's younger brother Ji Xin in public, and officially took over Ji Li's camp.

Even Lu Meng was trying to maintain the ruling order, and Ma Zhong was not prepared to challenge its majesty easily.

At the same time, Ma Zhong also had to give Leshui an explanation.

If Ma Zhong can't give a reward that convinces all the soldiers, then no one will gamble all their family resources to be loyal in the future.

Ma Zhong really gave a reward that convinced all the soldiers.

Ma Zhong officially proclaimed himself the Governor of Liyang, and at the same time appointed Le Shui as the Sima of the other department.

He did a very dramatic job here.

Just after the military discussion settled the matter of Feng Ji Xin, Ma Zhong suddenly asked the inexplicable Zhou Yin to stand up, and then asked him for the title of Lieutenant of Liyang.

Under the fiery gaze of the military attachés of all accounts, Zhou Yin had no choice but to appoint Ma Zhong as the fake lieutenant of Liyang in the name of the governor of the Eastern Route Army.

After Sun Quan officially recognizes it, this fake word can be removed and become an official appointment.

Sun Kuang stared at him from the side, but he, the prison army, had nothing to do.

The Jiefu Battalion was able to defeat even the Bingzhou Army led by Zhang Liao, and also obtained rich captures, such strength was no longer something he dared to speak casually.

After Ma Zhong became a fake lieutenant of Liyang, he immediately worshiped Leshui as Sima of other departments.

While the soldiers were shocked, they also had to admit that there was nothing wrong with this reward and it was worthy of people.

After all, all his subordinates were wiped out, and only one military waiting was left with a light pole, which had never happened before.

Just when everyone was speculating about which camps Ma Zhong was going to assign to Leshui, Ma Zhong said his thoughts.

Leshui's command will consist of two battalion heads, and all the soldiers must be recruited from the local people of Liyang, and his team will be located in Hengjiangjin and Danglikou respectively.

As soon as these words came out, everyone understood.

Ma Zhong is going to form his own water army!

Although this water army is clear and starts from scratch, there is nothing better than this for Leshui, the commander of the light pole.

For example, Li Fei is also in charge of the military team with a light pole commander, but his personal authority in the military team is probably not as good as Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, the two old qualifications.
