"Brother Sigou is right, he has 7,000 people, and he is not a Liaodong iron horse, I am afraid that he will be a dick, hug the grass and beat the rabbits, rush over to destroy them, and get something. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the other leader, jumping to his feet. His name is Liu Tieniu, Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, from Shanxi, and he has a good temper with Zhang Sigou.

"Kill the past...... Kill the past...... Young marshal, give orders...... "The rest of the leaders shouted.

After looking at the leaders, Ma Bo said, "Mingjin collects the troops, and come back when the gang is cleaned up." ”

Hundreds of peasant soldiers who had already attacked the city and were fighting with the defenders heard Mingjin's order to withdraw their troops, so they had to cover each other and go down the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city did not pursue, but watched them go down the ladder.

Leaving 4,000 soldiers to guard the city, Ma Bo led the rest of the 25,000 soldiers to meet the loyal and brave troops.

After walking a short distance, the two teams collided head-on. The two sides faced each other at a distance of more than 200 steps.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Ma Bo asked in a loud voice, pointing at the Warriors.

Zhao Guohua rode out on horseback and said: "We are the militia that was ordered to help suppress him, because we couldn't stand Xiong Wencan's blackmail and turned against him, now we want to take Macheng as a station, if you know each other, leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”

"Oh, I thought I was a hero, but it turned out to be a gang of government dogs......" Ma Bo said, laughing contemptuously.

After laughing, he said contemptuously: "You have to have great skills when you talk big, I don't know what big skills you have?" ”

Glancing at him, Zhao Guohua said: "I heard that Ma Huihui is a hero, I don't know if his son is a hero?" ”

"Of course Lao Tzu is a hero, this needs to be said......" Ma Bo said loudly.

Zhao Guohua said: "Since you are a hero, do you dare to gamble?" If I lose, leave this place immediately and give Macheng to you, and if you lose, leave with your people and give Macheng to me. ”

"Good! Lao Tzu bets with you, say, how to bet? Marbo exclaimed unconcernedly.

Glancing at Ma Bo's team on the opposite side, Zhao Guohua said: "You and my team have cavalry, let's compare the foot soldiers first, you send 2,000 people, I send 1,000 people, put the spears away, attack and defend each other, you can attack or defend, you choose." ”

The main reason for adopting this method was that Zhao Guohua did not want to fight the peasant army at the beginning, second, he did not want to expose his strength too early to attract attention, and third, he wanted to surrender and return to the old if possible in the future.

After some discussion, Ma Bo sent out the most elite 2,000 men, and stood in front of the formation with spears with spears removed, and Ma Bo said, "You attack, we defend." ”

With a wave of hands, a thousand people from the loyal team walked out, led by Cheng Chong and Niu Huan. Zhao Guohua whispered tactics, and then Cheng Chong and Niu Huan were divided into two teams, and the two of them walked over steadily with the team members in a conical formation with no gun in their hands. Seeing this, Ma Bo's team hurriedly lined up to intercept, so the men and horses on both sides collided, Cheng Chong and Niu Huan used the tactics of concentrating on breaking through a point to divide Ma Bo's men and horses into three pieces, and formed a number of three-person hedgehog small formations with a small number of troops to block both sides, and the remaining forces combined to attack the Ma Bo people and horses surrounded in the middle, and after the people and horses in the middle were eliminated, they used superior forces to eliminate the people and horses on both wings.

Although Ma Bo's men and horses fought bravely, there was no order, and soon, almost all of the 2,000 men and horses were knocked to the ground, and on the side of the loyal warriors, about 500 people were knocked to the ground.

"How so? How is this possible? Ma Bo muttered in disbelief.

He thought to himself: The number of people he produced is twice as many as that of the other party, and now that the result is like this, doesn't that mean that one sergeant on the other side can play against four on his side? It's unbelievable. The other party must have been trained, and he can't take advantage of it if he fights again, fortunately, he used no gun just now, otherwise his two thousand elites would not have died. But in this way, he let out Macheng, which had been fortunately attacked for several days and was about to fall into his hands, and there were some nests. ”

Thinking of this, Ma Bo said to Zhao Guohua: "The one opposite, I admit that your soldiers are very good, but it is indeed a bit inappropriate to let my men and horses give up from Macheng County in such a competition, you must know that even if your people can deal with my four people alone, but you only have about 7,000 people, and I have 30,000 fewer men, and in the end, my side wins, so you have to come up with some unique skills to convince me." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Guohua said: "Okay, since Young Marshal Ma said so, then Zhao will be ugly." After speaking, he whispered to Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun nodded, and said, "Han Dali, bring two grenades and pop them out, and blow them up twice to scare them." ”

"Great! Look at me, Captain. Han Dali, a member of the loyal team, walked out of the queue as he spoke. Han Dali is 25 years old this year, this person is strong, and he throws bombs far and accurately during grenade training, and Zhang Shun is very optimistic about him.

Seeing that there was a person on the other side, this person was nothing special except for his physical strength, Ma Bo glanced at him and said, "The one opposite, what are you doing, do you want to compete?" If you want to compete, send more people out, and the competition will be more enjoyable. ”

Zhao Guohua said: "Young Marshal Ma, the competition is outdated, now I let you see a good thing, this thing is much more interesting." ”

"What good things I haven't seen? Is it a ruby? Sapphire? Or pearl agate cat eyes, there are many of these things, and I am tired of seeing and playing, nothing unusual. Ma Bo said with a big grin.

"I don't care about those things yet, and they are not worth showing to Ma Shaoshuai, the things I let Ma Shaoshuai see are things you have never seen or heard." Zhao Guohua said lightly.

Hearing this, Ma Bo's heart was full of curiosity, and he stared straight at Han Dali with his eyes, seeing what he came up with. I saw Han Dali take out a fire fold from his body, "Bang! He put the fire on the ground, and then took out a black thing from behind him, lit the fire, and threw it into the distance, and with a loud "boom", a large piece of dust and gravel flew up in the distance.

"Young Marshal Ma, can you take someone over to see how the explosion works?" Zhao Guohua smiled and said to Ma Bo.

The fox glanced at him suspiciously, and Ma Bo waved his hand to let a few people go over to take a look first. When they arrived at the scene of the explosion, they were taken aback, only to see a large pit with a radius of two zhang and a depth of one zhang in sight, and a large stone on the side of the pit was blown to pieces, and there was still a faint smoke in the pit.

The faces of these people turned pale, and they said in their hearts: "Damn, this thing is too powerful, if you throw it in the pile, you won't be able to kill 180 people at once, no matter how good your martial arts are, no matter how good your armor is, it's all scum under the explosive power of this thing, and you can't find the bones that are not fried." ”

After looking at each other, several people hurriedly ran back and whispered to Ma Bo, who listened, rode over, looked carefully at the scene of the explosion, and slowly rode back to the front of his team, looking at the loyal team on the opposite side with a gloomy face and not speaking.

Seeing this, Zhao Guohua knew that Ma Bo was hesitating about whether to withdraw or not, so he said: "Han Dali, vote for another one, let them sober up." ”

"Yes!" As he spoke, Han Dali took out another grenade, lit it on fire, and threw it out, with another loud bang, shaking the ground slightly. Glancing at the explosion scene in the distance, and then at the joint defense team opposite, Ma Boxin said: "Fortunately, there was no reckless war just now, these people have such powerful explosive firearms, if one person brings two, more than 7,000 people are 14,000, once the fight starts, more than 10,000 such strange things are thrown out, and I don't know how many more than 26,700 people will be left, forget it, the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, let's go." ”

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Go!" Withdraw troops back to Yingshan. With that, he turned around with the team and meandered in the other direction.

Seeing that they had gone away, Lu Qing said with admiration: "The captain has done this beautifully, in the art of war, the soldiers who surrender without a fight are also superior, this is the tactics of the soldiers who surrender without a fight." ”

"Only those who can fight can make peace, and there is no strong force to deter, this sentence is empty words. Although our numbers are not as large as theirs, our tactics and weapons and equipment are far stronger than theirs, and it is because they see these two points that they will withdraw their troops. Zhao Guohua said.

Looking at the back of Ma Bo's distant team, Niu Huan asked, "Captain, in that case, why didn't we destroy them?" ”

Sighing, Zhao Guohua said: "They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and for them, they still have to be appeased." ”

"Captain, the imperial court did this method at the beginning, but then it failed, why is this?" Liu Youtian asked puzzled. Lu Qing, Niu Huan, Zhang Shun, and Cheng Chong all looked at Zhao Guohua, waiting for him to make sense.

Glancing around at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "This method of the imperial court is good according to reason, but two things need to be done to cooperate to be effective. ”

"Do those two things?" Lu Qing asked.

After glancing at him and then at everyone, Zhao Guohua said: "The first thing is to kill the leaders of the rogues together to avoid their resurgence, the second is to find out and kill the old thieves who have had evil deeds among the rogues, and the third is to settle the ordinary rogues well, so that they can live and farm with peace of mind, so that they can be prevented from taking the old road again, grasping encirclement and suppression with one hand, and appeasement and resettlement with the other, only in this way can the problem be completely solved." ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded frequently in agreement, but Lu Qing said: "Captain, what you said is indeed good, but a large amount of land and silver taels are needed to appease and resettle, and these two things are not easy to do." ”

With an indifferent smile, Zhao Guohua said: "There is political power in the knife and gun", are you afraid that there will be no silver and land with political power? ”
