Chapter 474: Let Ma Xianglin leave
At the same time, when Li Zicheng received two waves of envoys, Sichuan was in a state of tension, especially in Chongqing, and a major war was about to break out, and Qin Liangyu's thousands of white-pole soldiers and tens of thousands of Dashun troops were confronting each other.
However, the atmosphere seemed tense, with a tense look, both sides made preparations for a big battle, and a morning passed, and there was still no fighting.
In the camp of the Dashun army, Gao Yigong rode on horseback indifferently, looking light-hearted, without the solemnity and seriousness of the imminent war, even if the opponent was Qin Liangyu and someone who could fight well, he was still as stable as Mount Tai, as if he didn't take Qin Liangyu in his eyes.
Gao Yigong glanced at Ma Xianglin next to him, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, seeing the nervous look on Ma Xianglin's face, he sighed, turned around, and looked at the other side from a distance, it was a burst of emotion, and the faint words pierced Ma Xianglin's sensitive heart.
"Hey~ General Ma, Lingtang's troop arrangement is not up to standard, not like what a veteran who has been in battle for a long time should do."
Although Ma Xianglin was anxious and nervous, he was unable to calm down, but he did not lose his rationality, how could he not hear the sound of Gao Yigong? The contempt and disdain?
Without waiting for him to refute and defend his mother Qin Liangyu, Gao Yigong's yin and yang strange words sounded again, and the taste of provocation and ridicule was even worse.
"As a commander of the army, you must not only be not afraid of death, dare to charge into battle, rush to the front, and take the lead, but also know how to arrange troops, guide according to the situation, and take advantage of the time and place to give the opponent a heavy blow."
"General Ma, you see, this Shu is mountainous, if the commander is stationed here, he will never fight the enemy head-on, but disperse the forces as much as possible, avoid contact with the opponent as much as possible, and take advantage of the mountains to ambush the enemy, sneak attack the enemy, and weaken the opponent's vitality little by little."
"Also, the place chosen by Lingtang to garrison is actually a plain land, which completely exposes its own disadvantages, the troops are weak, and it is difficult to defend, but it is extremely conducive to our operations, with enough space to deploy troops, it is really not flattering Lingtang's way of using troops."
At this moment, Gao Yigong was so embarrassed, quite a joke, after some words, Ma Xianglin was so angry, especially with the intention of humiliating his mother, biting his lip, when he was about to have a seizure, he saw Gao Yigong pointing to his dozens of tiger squat guns, as well as the firearms battalion at the front, and said loudly: "Don't say anything else, as long as these tiger squat cannons are fired together, supplemented by firearms, not to mention much, as long as my Dashun army shoots one shot, I'm afraid Lingtang will be defeated and the whole army will be wiped out." ”
In an instant, Ma Xianglin was excited, and then he reacted, realizing that he had been in anger and unwillingness, but he ignored a reality, which was in front of him, the Dashun Army was a firearms army, as Gao Yigong said, there was no need to charge, as long as one person shot and half of the troops, he could destroy the few left, the newly formed white pole soldiers!
Although the white pole soldiers are strong, they don't want to die in battle, but they must also be able to fight the enemy?
However, the Dashun army did not give this opportunity at all, and directly bombed and fired with a tiger squat cannon and a three-eyed gun and a thunderbolt to carry out a long-range attack!
As a high-ranking general of the Ming army, how could Ma Xianglin not know these firearms? And how could you not know their power?
In such a flat area, the white pole soldiers are simply live targets, and with their eyes closed, the Dashun army can shoot them.
For a while, although Ma Xianglin did not doubt his biological mother's commanding ability, it was hard to believe that his mother Qin Liangyu would do this, would defend like this, waiting for the Dashun army to fight, it was completely a passive defense, or a very passive kind, regardless of his own shortcomings.
Compared with the anger at Gao Yigong, Ma Xianglin was a little more worried and had some self-blame.
The mother is already in the age of sixties, and she should have been nursing and enjoying the joy of family, but now she has to put on her armor and fight with the enemy, how can he, a son, not blame himself? How can I be happy in my heart?
Self-blame and guilt stimulated Ma Xianglin and tormented his heart, especially knowing that this battle would be lost, and any resistance would be futile and increase casualties.
The most important thing is that the world is so big, although there are still remnants of the Ming army, but where is the imperial court?
Therefore, Ma Xianglin was shaken, the heart of death gradually faded, there was a hint of prayer lingering between his eyebrows, and he lowered his arrogant head, but his back was still straight, and he said softly: "Marshal Gao, if you can trust Ma, please let me try next time, persuade my mother to surrender, and no longer make senseless resistance, I don't know what Marshal Gao wants?" ”
To Ma Xianglin's surprise, the generals around him were also surprised, no one expected that Gao Yigong would agree so happily.
"Okay, I can give you a try!"
There were no too many requirements, and there were not too many words, which made Ma Xianglin stunned on the spot for a while, and it was hard to believe, is he not afraid that he will never return to the mountain, which is equivalent to returning to the mountain? In turn, to fight against the Dashun army?
"Okay, General Ma, let's go, time is running out, I hope you can succeed and convince Ling Tang."
Hearing Gao Yigong's urging words, Ma Xianglin believed that he had heard correctly, Gao Yigong was not joking, all this was true, Gao Yigong just let himself go.
Ma Xianglin rode away and soon entered the opposite camp, but Li Dingguo walked up at this time, came to Gao Yigong's approach, and asked puzzledly: "Marshal, just let Ma Xianglin leave, is it letting the tiger return to the mountain?" Even if you use a little extraordinary means, feed him poison, and then give him the antidote when he comes back, it is better than letting him go like this. ”
Obviously, Li Dingguo asked everyone about the same doubts, and they all looked at Gao Yigong in puzzlement, waiting for the other party to explain.
However, Gao Yigong did not answer immediately, but pointed ahead, and said indifferently: "According to our information report, the exact news we have gotten, Qin Liangyu has only four or five thousand soldiers and horses, most of them are new soldiers, and not everyone has weapons, you say, even if Ma Xianglin goes back, what role can it play?" Will it be able to stop our guns? ”
"That.. Marshal, in that case, why are you still doing this? Li Dingguo nodded approvingly, but couldn't help but ask rhetorically, and then said: "With the strength of our army, we can completely crush it and kill Qin Liangyu's department, why waste time here?" ”
Gao Yigong smiled and did not answer again.
At this time, Xin Sizhong came from a distance on horseback, followed by a person, it was the governor of the Ming court in Sichuan, Shao Jiechun.
"Marshal Qiyu, we have taken Chongqing City, and the governor Shao Jiechun and Lord Shao are also here, asking to see you!"
