"Report to the deputy commander-in-chief, the Tatars have set up camp and marched in a northeasterly direction."

The scouts stationed outside the city flew back to Pingyu City and reported the enemy situation to Su Hao, who stayed on the city wall to defend the city.

"Do they mean to come and attack the city?" Su Hao asked.

The scout said, "According to the villain, they must have fled for their lives." The whole camp was chaotic like a mule and horse market, and when it set out, it was also chaotic, and everyone went their own way, which did not look like they had come out to fight. ”

Su Hao said with a smile: "Even if they know each other, the Rabbit has been beaten to the ground by General Soldier Xiao and General Soldier Ma, and the Tatar army has no leader, if you dare to come to attack the city at this time, I am afraid that you will die faster." ”

"General Su, do we want to go out of the city and give them a look?" Zhang Yunlong, the general manager who stayed to defend the city, was eager to try.

Su Hao shook his head and said: "The task given to us by General Xiao is to defend the city, if we go out of the city to ask for battle, if we miss, we will be passive if the enemy occupies the city." Besides, the art of war, don't chase the poor, don't stop the master, when the Tatars are busy fleeing for their lives, if we go to fight, they will definitely fight hard, and our men and horses are not their opponents. ”

Zhang Yunlong touched his head and smirked: "Actually, the last general also understands this truth, but his hands are itchy, and he can't help it." ”

"Don't worry, you'll fight." Su Hao comforted.

The Tatar army swept the east side of Pingyu City and fled outside the side wall, and when people were in such a panic, no one had the heart to worry about attacking Pingyu City, they were more worried that the Ming army in Pingyu City would come out to harass them, especially with that terrible artillery bombardment. If they could choose, they would rather never touch the edge of Pingcheng again for the rest of their lives, and the kind of flowering cannonballs that can explode are really unforgettable for them.

Xiao Ruxun and Ma Qiancheng commanded the Ming army to chase after the buttocks of the Li Rabbit, but because the Li Rabbit was all cavalry, and the Ming army was mainly infantry, they were quickly thrown off by the Li Rabbit. Only a few wounded and stragglers were captured. Watching the rabbit flee to the north, Xiao Ruxun knew that he must have fled to the grassland, and it was pointless to chase after him.

"The camp of the Tatar army and the Ningxia army is in the southeast, and we took advantage of the enemy's initial defeat to simply take their old camp in one fell swoop, right?" Xiao Ruxun suggested to Ma Qiancheng that this battle was over before he had finished playing, and he was very unwilling.

Ma Qiancheng is also a bold man. Hearing Xiao Ruxun's suggestion, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, let's go all out and wipe out all the thieves around Pingyu City, and then we can enter Ningxia City." ”

The two commanders made up their minds, gathered their own troops, and outflanked the Tatar camp and the Ningxia army camp in Biyun in several ways. Although Xiao Ruxun led the cavalry, he did not dare to throw off Ma Qiancheng's infantry and act alone, so he could only press his steps. Move slowly.

Halfway through, the scouts in front came back to report that the Tatar army had fled ahead of schedule and was heading northeast. The Biyun Department heard the movement of the Tatar army. Knowing that the situation was not good, he also fled in a hurry and returned to Ningxia City.

"As soon as Mr. Ma arrived, the thieves fled in despair." Xiao Ruxun said to Ma Qiancheng in a half-ridiculous tone. Although he was not convinced, he had to admit that the Rabbit and Biyun were scared away by Ma Qiancheng. Who let his family bring 20,000 horses?

Ma Qiancheng hurriedly waved his hand: "How dare you dare, it was General Xiao's troops who strategized and took the lead in attacking the Tatar camp that led to the victory of our two armies today." If you want to talk about the first merit, it is also Xiao Zongbing's in any case. ”

Xiao Ruxun said: "This work, I think it belongs to Su Hao's deputy commander-in-chief, his firearms are very sharp, and during the day, he scared the rabbit out of fear, otherwise the Tatar army would not be so cowardly." General Soldier Ma, you haven't seen our daytime battle, but if you do, you will know that this firearm can be so powerful. ”

Ma Qiancheng laughed and said: "Ma doesn't need to look at it to know the power of this firearm." What came out of the hands of the deputy commander-in-chief of the Soviet Union, is it a mortal thing? ”

Xiao Ruxun was stunned: "What, what is the understanding between Mr. Ma and Gai?" ”

Ma Qiancheng said: "I have never met, but Neiko and Su Hao have had a relationship. You see, this firearm was given to Neiko by Su Hao two years ago. ”

As he spoke, he took out a short gun stuck in his waist and showed it to Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun knew at a glance that this was indeed the equipment of the survey camp. Qin Liangyu rode up on horseback and said to Ma Qiancheng: "Husband, how many times has Liangyu told you, this is not called a fire gun, this is called a flintlock pistol." When you meet Brother Su, don't be wrong, show your timidity. ”

"Look, when Neiko talks about Su Hao, it is full of admiration, which makes me can't help but be jealous as a husband." Ma Qiancheng smiled and complained to Xiao Ruxun.

"Look at what you said, the concubine just recognized Su Hao as the eldest brother, and he killed the Banzhou general Pi Yuanfu that day, and gave the credit to me and the eldest brother, and he was kind to my Zhongzhou Qin family." Qin Liangyu argued with a smile.

Although they knew that the enemy had fled, Xiao Ruxun and Ma Qiancheng still led their soldiers to sweep the two camps of the Tatar army and the Ningxia army, and collected some of the bits and pieces that the other party had not had time to take away as trophies. Seeing that the sky had turned white, the two ordered the class to return to Pingyu City.

There were 20,000 Sichuan soldiers brought by Ma Qiancheng and Qin Liangyu, and Pingyu City couldn't find so many idle barracks to settle them for a while, so Ma Qiancheng let his team camp outside the city, and together with his wife, he took dozens of personal soldiers into Pingyu City.

Su Hao took Chen Dao, Xu Guangzu and others to welcome Xiao Ruxun and Ma Qiancheng's triumph at the city gate, and Yang Shulan and Lu Xiuer and other female dependents also came out, and when they saw Qin Liangyu in full uniform, the female dependents were amazed.

Xiao Ruxun introduced everyone to each other, and when Su Hao was introduced, Qin Liangyu stepped forward and shouted affectionately with his fists: "Brother Su." ”

"This ...... Mrs. Ma was polite. Su Hao's face was full of embarrassment, this is a heroine among women who has left history in history, how dare she agree to call herself big brother in a hurry.

Qin Liangyu pursed his lips and smiled, and did not correct Su Hao's title. When she first met Su Hao, she was still a girl, and now she is married to a woman, but it is indeed inconvenient for Su Hao to call her maiden name again.

Ma Qiancheng stepped forward and said to Su Hao: "General Su, Ma is the name of General Su for a long time, Neiko has always admired General Su, and he has said it many times in front of Ma. Seeing the face today is really a blessing for three lives. ”

Su Hao said: "I smiled, I smiled, after Mr. Ma was a famous family, Su Hao had admired him for a long time." ”

Then, Su Hao called Lu Xiu'er and asked her to meet Ma Qiancheng. Qin Liangyu heard that Lu Xiu'er was Su Hao's fiancée, so she hurriedly wanted to call her sister-in-law, which embarrassed Lu Xiu'er enough. Su Hao had no choice but to come out to play a round and ask Qin Liangyu to call Lu Xiu'er by her name. Lu Xiuer called Qin Liangyu "Sister Liangyu", which solved the problem.

After greeting each other, everyone followed Xiao Ruxun to his General Military Mansion and sat down in the council hall. This large group of people belongs to several different systems, Xiao Ruxun represents Ningxia Wei, Su Hao's survey battalion is directly under the Ministry of War, and when the army was built, it was attached to Huai'anwei, which was directly under the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, and Ma Qiancheng led the Sichuan soldiers. Everyone couldn't tell an order, so they could only let Chen Dao, the military department, be the host of the discussion.

"Generals, due to the stubborn resistance of General Xiao and Deputy General Su, Bibai rebelled and finally failed to capture Pingyu City. We have gained valuable time to redeploy our troops. With the cooperation of General Ma, we have achieved a major victory in defeating the rabbit, eliminating external hidden dangers and demoralizing the rebels. Right now. It's time to march into the trenches of rebellion. Chen Dao's opening remarks were quite a bit of a leader, and he praised everyone in every aspect.

"Mr. Ma, as far as you know. What is the current situation on Ningxia South Road? Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Qiancheng.

Ma Qiancheng said: "When our army went north, I heard that Li Rusong led the Liaodong soldiers to conquer Zhongwei, Lingzhou and other castles, and the Bibai army was defeated and retreated. In my opinion, in a few days, General Li's troops should attack the city of Ningxia. ”

"Li Rusong is a fierce general, and the Liaodong soldiers are the leaders in the border army, and I am afraid that those two hits are not Li Rusong's opponents." Xu Guangzu commented on the side.

"What veteran Xu said is very true, Ma met General Li when he was in Xi'an, and he really has the demeanor of a general, and the Liaodong soldiers are also highly motivated, and they have some arrogance." Ma Qiancheng echoed with a smile.

Hearing Ma Qiancheng's words, Su Hao and Xiao Ruxun looked at each other, and both of them heard some other flavors from Ma Qiancheng's words. Literally, Ma Qiancheng seems to be praising Li Rusong and Liaodongbing, but his tone when he speaks is quite indignant, maybe something unpleasant happened to the two of them when they were in Xi'an.

There is a saying that literati despise each other, but in fact, it is easy for military generals to look down on each other. For this kind of delicate matter, it is inconvenient for others to inquire too much, so Xiao Ruxun pretended not to hear the taste of Ma Qiancheng's words, and said to Chen Dao: "Chen Langzhong, since it is the general army of Li on the south road, it is going well, Xiao thinks that we should immediately send troops on the north road, and strive to join the general army of Li under the city of Ningxia. ”

"The same is what the military department means." Chen Dao said, "It's just that in the previous period, General Xiao and Deputy General Su defended the city against the enemy, and it was very hard, do you need to rest for a few days before sending troops?" ”

"No need, let's lay down Ningxia City, so that we can really rest assured." Xiao Ruxun said.

Chen Dao asked Su Hao and Ma Qiancheng what they meant, both of them said that they could send troops immediately, Chen Dao nodded, and said: "That is the case, then several teams of our North Road will be unified into the North Route Army, Xiao General Soldier is familiar with the situation in Ningxia, and he is also older than Ma General Soldier and Su Deputy General Army, and has more experience, so I asked Xiao General Soldier to be the commander of the North Route Army, followed by Ma General Soldier and Su Deputy General Army, what do you think?" ”

"It is in line with Ma's meaning, Ma is willing to only look forward to the head of Xiao's soldiers." Ma Qiancheng stood up and gave Xiao Ruxun a big salute, expressing his willingness to obey Xiao Ruxun's dispatch.

Not to mention Su Hao, he has the rank of deputy chief soldier of Ningxia Wei, and he was originally Xiao Ruxun's deputy, so of course he will not have any opinions on this arrangement.

Xiao Ruxun stood up, arched his hand to everyone, and said: "Then Xiao Mou would like to thank you for your trust and be the commander of the Northern Route Army." Last night's fierce battle, the soldiers were tired, today the whole army rested for a day, tomorrow morning, we will march to Ningxia City. ”……)
