"More than 2,000 cavalry couldn't break through the Taiping army's infantry formation! What do you all eat? ”

Looking at the cavalry generals such as Ma Mingyuan, his nephew Ma Zhilong, and his clan relative Ma Zhongxin, who were embarrassed and retreated, Ma Xiong did not fight anywhere. More than 2,000 Guyuan Huihui cavalry under his command were brought out by his adoptive father Ma Jiaolin, and handed over to him by himself, from north to south for thousands of miles, even if the Jin King Li Dingguo of the Ming Dynasty had no way to take them, and he was relied on by the Guangxi Admiral Line Guoan as an arm, and deliberately stayed in Guangxi to guard, but he didn't want to break more than 300 in just one charge today, which made it difficult for Ma Xiong to accept. If it weren't for the fact that the cavalry generals were all his cronies and clansmen, he would have dragged them down to rectify the Fa a long time ago.

Dai Liangchen, the commander of the Han army, had a good relationship with Ma Zhongxin and others on weekdays, so he stepped forward to say a few good words for them, saying that the Ming army's artillery fire was too fierce, and the infantry formation was too dense, and the infantry army was unable to contain and disturb the Ming army's formation, which made the cavalry unable to start.

Dai Liangchen and Ma Xiong were both generals under the command of Kong Youde, the king of Dingnan, and the two of them and Xian Guoan and others traveled thousands of miles south with the king of Dingnan, and the fighting spirit was not as good as those of the Ming generals in Guangxi, so he persuaded him to do so, and Ma Xiong pressed his anger. In the sight, Li Ruchun and other troops have been pressed back by the Taiping army again, and there are corpses everywhere in front of the battle, if it weren't for the ferocity of the supervising team sent to it, I'm afraid that those green battalion soldiers would have made the Taiping army collapse. At this time, the cavalry of the Taiping army still stayed quietly on the lower left side of the hillside, and there was no sign of dispatch.

Ma Xiong was not afraid of the cavalry of the Taiping Army, in his opinion, this so-called cavalry is not mentioned, no matter how much the southern barbarians in Guangdong train, they will never be able to train them, the men of the north. Most of those cavalry are captured war horses, and some soldiers who can barely survive on the horses are selected, which is a little scary at first glance, but in fact they are used to scare people, and they are really sent into battle, Ma Xiong believes that his subordinates can defeat them by pulling out a few hundred cavalry at will. So far, the cavalry of the Taiping Army has not been dispatched, which seems to confirm Ma Xiong's guess, that is, this cavalry cannot fight at all.

On the river, the warships of the Ming army's sailors were across the river one by one, but all they could do was to cheer up their own soldiers and horses, but they could not go ashore to help. It was too far from the battlefield for the artillery of the Ming Army's naval division to be able to beat it.

The sailors were powerless to interfere with the battlefield, and the cavalry was furnishings, and Ma Xiong was worried about the Taiping army's infantry and army's formation, as well as their artillery. The infantry of the Qing army, dominated by the green battalion, was obviously no match for the infantry of the Taiping army, and the cavalry failed to break through the opponent's defense line, so Ma Xiong was considering whether to order the collection of troops and no longer fight with the Taiping army. But if the order is to withdraw now, the infantry army will definitely not have time to withdraw, once the Taiping army is called into a pursuit battle, the green battalion will probably collapse, and the loss will be too great. Without the Green Battalion, how could the cavalry alone defend the city? After all, defending the city also requires troops!

When Ma Xiong couldn't make up his mind, his son Ma Chengyin had first-class riding skills, and he had the pride of being born a calf and not afraid of tigers. ”

Hearing this, Ma Mingyuan, the cavalry general who retreated, hurriedly persuaded: "Chengyin, don't underestimate these Taiping Kou, they are not ordinary Ming troops, Prince Jian, Hahamu, and Shang Kexi are all asked to defeat them."

Ma Xiong's nephew Ma Zhongxin was also afraid that his brother would be stupid and bold, and he would be blind and strong if he didn't know it, and he also persuaded Ma Chengyin not to be a hero.

Ma Chengyin was not convinced, and said unevenly: "What are you afraid of, my people are brave and brave, but they are no worse than Manchurian generals!" He said to his father: "The Han people do not have more soldiers than us, they are clearly here to fight the vanguard, if we don't defeat them now, will we wait for the Taiping Kou on the river to bring more Han people to fight them?" ”

"Second brother, you don't understand, the Han army is powerful, I saw it clearly before, their infantry formation is not something we can break through lightly."

Ma Zhongxin's kind persuasion was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by Ma Chengyin, he snorted, didn't give his brother any face, and said: "Isn't the eldest brother scared Taiping Kou." ”

"Second brother, how can you say such a thing!"

Ma Zhongxin was excited by his cousin's words, so he pulled off his clothes, pointed to the wounds on his body, and said loudly: "Scared? You don't look at how many bloody battles my brother and I fought, from north to south, which time did my brother and I not charge ahead! Do you think I stabbed this wound myself? ”

"If you are brave, why should you grow the morale of others and destroy our prestige!" Ma Chengyin is actually a little weak-hearted, but with so many people watching, he refuses to bow his head to his brother and admit his mistakes.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, all the generals were stunned, and Ma Xiong's face couldn't hold it, Dai Liangchen saw this, and made an elder appearance and scolded them: "Nonsense, don't look at what kind of place this is, do you want to be dragged to fight with a military stick!" ”

was reprimanded by Dai Liangchen like this, Ma Zhongxin and Ma Chengyin's voices suddenly became hoarse, and all the generals also looked at Ma Xiong, whether it was fighting or retreating, or Ma Xiong had the final say.

Ma Xiong glanced at the generals, except for Dai Liangchen, who were standing here, they were all his clansmen, his cronies, and the most capable generals under him. From the eyes of these people, he saw the fiery eyes of his son Chengyin, but he also saw the unwillingness to fight in the eyes of his nephew Zhongxin and others. He hesitated again, he was not a yellow-haired child, how could he not be faithful to what they said, the Ming army's infantry formation was too powerful, if he really wanted to rush again, the losses would definitely be too big for him to accept.

"Ma Sibaba, what do you say?" Ma Xiong's gaze finally fell on the face of a bearded old man wearing a long robe, a white hat.

Ma Minglong, who was born in a prominent Huihui family in Hubei, followed his father to learn Chinese and Huihui scriptures since he was a child. At the age of 15, he went to Tongxin City in Ningxia in the northwest to learn the classics from several Hui scholars, and returned to his hometown six years later to devote himself to research. Because Ma Minglong is modest and studious, he studies hard, and is able to adopt the strengths of various Hui schools, and has a high reputation in the minds of the Ming Hui people.

Ma Xiong followed the king of Dingnan Kong Youde into Guangxi after he has been trying to build the Great Hui Temple in Wuzhou and Liuzhou, how can the war continue, the Great Hui Temple has never been built, until last year he led the army to capture Liuzhou before he had the opportunity to start building. As soon as the temple was built, he invited the famous Ma Sibaba to come and teach the scriptures, so as to spread Hu Da's teachings and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Ma Sibaba asked to go out of the city with the army by himself, and considering that Ma Sibaba would not have an accident with him, Ma Xiong took him with him. Before the battle, he asked Ma Sibaba to read the scriptures for the returning soldiers under his command, which made the morale of the returning soldiers very high. As a result, the high morale was depressed by the failure of the charge.

All the generals respect Ma Si Baba, and when they hear the words, they all look at Ma Si Baba.

Ma Sibaba stretched his long beard, recited the sutra very reverently, and then said to them in a very vicissitudes of life: "The soldiers of the Han people are fierce, I know that you don't want to fight hard, but Hu Da once taught you to retreat when you encounter a vicious enemy?" ”

When the generals heard this, they all flashed fiercely, and the generals such as Ma Zhongxin and Ma Mingyuan, who had previously said that they wanted to avoid the war, were even more ashamed. Only Dai Liangchen sneered in his heart, and he was quite dismissive of Ma Sibaba's words, because in his opinion, these generals and soldiers were actually Han people, and they were fundamentally different from those who were color-eyed, and their ancestors were all Han people, but somehow they regarded themselves as the same as the color-eyed people, and turned around and looked down on the Han people. Today, the Qing Dynasty sits in the world, whether it is a Hui person or a Han person, not all of them are mainly Manchurians
