Chapter 507: This is the end and the beginning
This is the third year of the war, and Ma Chao's face has a little vicissitudes. The Southern Song Dynasty sent troops to the Northern Expedition and took Xi'an, Henan, Kaifeng, Guide, Sizhou, and Xuzhou in one go.
This battle expanded the territory, but it was also met with the most powerful counterattack by the Jin army, and the war became a stalemate, and Kaifeng Mansion was the main battle base, and the Southern Song army formed by the commanders Xin Qiji and Zhu Xi was stationed here.
The Flying Tiger Army led by Ma Chao has become the main fighting force against the Jin Army, and now Ma Chao has taken off some of his childish spirit, and after a few years of war, he has been polished into a natural war giant, and Ma Chao is no longer the Ma Chao of the year.
Even the eldest lady said that Ma Chao hadn't written poetry for a long time, in fact, Ma Chao didn't stop writing, mainly because of the years that had passed, and the scene of Dream of Red Mansions that lingered in his mind back then was almost forgotten.
The leaders of the Flying Tiger Army are still three people, Ma Chao, Wang Wu and Ma Gan. The Shenyu team sacrificed a few people in the war, the stinky boss went to Tubo and never came back, Wang Cheng still didn't believe for so many years, every time he thought of Wang Cheng, Wang Wu always had to drink Ma Chao and quarrel a few words, Wang Wu thought that back then, Ma Chao was wrong, Wang Cheng was really killed by Qin Lin, Lin Ying gave birth to a son, and now he is running away all over the cottage, and Nameless also gave birth to a son to Ma Chao, and after that, Ma Chao had two more daughters and a son.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as a branch.
Because of the relationship between the saints, Ma Chao did not walk with Xueyue, who is now a female general, and she is on the front of the Western Xia side. According to Ma Chao's opinion, the Southern Song Dynasty did not choose to ally with the Western Xia, but chose the nomadic Temujin tribe. Temujin's tribe expanded rapidly, and Temujin, because of the Southern Song Dynasty, was an ally, and soon wanted to unify the steppe. Ma Chao sighed with emotion, and didn't know how to describe his feelings, when Jebe joined Temujin's tribe, Ma Chao was more sure that Temujin would also establish the Great Yuan Dynasty, and finally, the Great Yuan and the increasingly powerful Southern Song Dynasty would have a life-and-death struggle.
Ma Chao looked at the morning sun, thought about it for a while, and walked into the big tent of the Chinese army.
Xin Qiji was looking at the strategic deployment map, and when he saw Ma Chao coming in, he immediately frowned.
"Why are you here again?"
Xin Qiji is a general, but Ma Chao and General Xin Qiji are too familiar, and he has saved Xin Qiji several times in the past two years, and Ma Chao used his ability to disintegrate the enemy's beheading plan several times.
"Are you giving me 10,000 arrows and 200 horses?"
"I've said it several times, our front is expanding greatly, the Southern Song Dynasty didn't produce horses, and the materials were not enough at all, and last time I snatched a thousand horses from the Jin army, didn't I give you five hundred horses?"
"I have two hundred brothers who don't have horses?"
"Our army, which is originally the majority of infantry, you only have two hundred brothers and no horses, which is already good."
Hearing Xin Qiji's words, Ma Chao pouted: "The horse stays with you, and you can't give birth to cubs, give it to me!" “
"Those are herniated horses, give them to you, you can get them to come out of the ponies."
"Lao Xin, don't tease me, tease me, I have to ask for it, if you don't give the horse, you always have to give the arrow!"
Xin Qiji glanced at Ma Chao, stroked his beard and said, "When you kid drank last time, didn't you say that you wanted the straw man to borrow arrows?" The straw man has done a lot, but what about the arrows? ”
Speaking of which, Ma Chao was quite embarrassed, he did have this idea, but it didn't come true. The straw man did it and ran into the cavalry of the Jin army.
"In this way, you give me the design of Zhuge Repeater, and I will give you 100,000 arrows!"
"Don't even think about it!"
Ma Chao's Flying Tiger Army used Lu Qingtong's improved Zhuge Repeater, which fired twenty crossbow arrows at a time, which was simply a copy of the Qin State's crossbow arrow phalanx. But the Flying Tiger Army has a principle, even if the battle is lost, it will destroy the Zhuge Repeater and not let the enemy get a sample.
Ma Chao not only didn't leave samples for the enemy, but even the people on his side didn't give them, and one person quietly took it out in the name of patriotism and was directly beheaded by Ma Chao.
Xin Qiji didn't understand Ma Chao's thoughts until now, but Xin Qiji thought that the national strength of the Jin State was far greater than that of the Southern Song Dynasty, and if they got the crossbow arrows, they would inevitably rush to control it in large quantities, and the Southern Song Dynasty would face a powerful Jin cavalry and crossbow arrow phalanx, and there would be no chance of winning at all. What's more, there is also a weapon of mass destruction such as thunderbolt artillery. (To be continued.) )
