Chapter 552 Leaflets in the Sky Are Like Snow
After the two divisions of the Xiliang Army met, they stayed in Didao City for a few days, mainly to readjust the 20,000 horses and horses, and formally appoint some important generals.
After the adjustment, the Xiliang Army was full of 20,000 people, with the army commander Ma Chao, the military division Tian Yu, and the deputy army commander Pang De, under the jurisdiction of five light cavalry divisions, and there was no heavy cavalry division for the time being. Among them, the commander of the first division was Murong Ping, the commander of the second division Ma Wan, the commander of the third division Hu Zhen, the commander of the fourth division Tian Chou, the commander of the fifth division Yang Qiu, and the junior general Ma Dai served as the head of the guard regiment.
In order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of each division, Ma Chao completely disrupted the 10,000 elites who were originally from the Crouching Tiger Training Regiment and the 10,000 Xiliang cavalry under the command of Pang De.
The actual combat effectiveness of the 10,000 Liangzhou soldiers who followed Pang De was not low, and the training was quite hard, what was lacking was strict military discipline and systematic team cooperation, with the influence and edification of the regular cavalry from the Crouching Tiger Training Corps, these Liangzhou soldiers quickly realized their own shortcomings, and convincingly followed the Youzhou soldiers to learn skills and tactics, and adapted to the new environment of the Xiliang Army in a relatively short period of time.
After a few days, the rejuvenated Xiliang army was pulled out of camp as a whole and left Didao for Jincheng. Ma Dai took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly touched Ma Chao's side and whispered: "Big brother, I used to think that the weapons and equipment used by our Ma family army were the same as the cavalry of the Protector Army, but when we changed clothes in Didao City, I found that the weapons and equipment used by our cavalry before were really far behind the blue wolf army!"
Ma Chao vaguely understood what Ma Dai meant, but he didn't break it, but asked Ma Dai with interest: "Do you want to say that the Jin Kingdom has actually been guarding against us?"
Ma Dai looked left and right, then nodded.
Ma Chao said to Ma Dai thoughtfully: "If it were you, would you have completely believed in the Ma family at the beginning?"
Ma Dai thought for a moment and replied, "It's really difficult to make people fully trusted!"
Ma Chao patted Ma Dai on the shoulder, and then said earnestly: "Brother, if the Jin Kingdom completely believed in the Ma family at the beginning, and fully equipped the Ma Family Army with the same weapons and armor as the Flying Tiger Army and the Blue Wolf Army, wouldn't it be cheap for Han Sui in the end? ”
Ma Dai lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said solemnly to Ma Chao: "Big brother, I know what you mean." In the future, we will do things wholeheartedly for the Jin Kingdom, and after a long time, we will naturally gain the trust and respect of others!"
Ma Chao smiled, nodded and said, "Brother, it's right that you can think so." You see that in the past, many of the generals under Ding Yuan and Gongsun Zan have been reused, such as Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zang Ba, Han Wei, Hou Cheng, Tian Yu, Xu Rong, Tian Chou, Murong and others, all of whom have obtained extremely high status and treatment in the army. Our Ma family has produced more heroes since ancient times, and we will definitely be able to glorify our ancestors and establish immortal achievements in the future!"
The two brothers talked while walking, and finally resolved the barriers and doubts in their hearts, and secretly made up their minds to serve the Jin Kingdom wholeheartedly in the future.
After Xiliangjun came to Lingju, Ma Chao met his old friend Gao Shun. Because the two of them were familiar with each other when they formed the Xiliang Army, and now they have become comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, they are naturally very happy. Ma Chao joked with Gao Shun: "I have never seen Brother Fuping lead troops to fight, this time you, the head of the sect, must open the eyes of the brothers!"
Gao Shun slapped Ma Chao's chest a few times with his fist, and then said proudly: "You kid, do you know why the lord has always asked me to preside over the overall situation of the training group? That's because the camp of my old Gao's training made the lord very satisfied, so he has always asked me to train elite soldiers for the Protector Army." This time, your Xiliang army will be wide-eyed, and I will rely on the 10,000 infantry brought from the Crouching Tiger Training Group to break through Guzang City within three days!"
Ma Chao hurriedly stopped Gao Shun's words, for fear that Gao Shun would be too full of words, and as a result, everyone would not be able to get off the stage in the end.
Ma Chao said to Gao Shun with a smile: "Brother naturally believes that the soldiers trained by Brother Fuping are definitely the first class in the world, and now half of the brothers in the Xiliang Army are still under your whip, and I have already learned the combat effectiveness of these soldiers." However, I have a common enmity with that Han Sui, and Lord Taifu has specially set the three strategies for Ping Han, so Brother Fu Ping might as well take a look first, and we will strive to break through Guzang at the lowest cost and the fastest speed, and capture the traitor alive!"
Gao Shun was not an impatient person, but he was just aroused by Ma Chao's joke, and when he heard Ma Chao say this, he immediately asked Ma Chao to take out Zhao Xing's secret letter, wanting to see what time and effort Master Taifu had for destroying Han Sui.
After seeing Zhao Xing's special instructions to Ma Chao, Gao Shun nodded, and said unhurriedly: "Since we already have a direction, let's hurry up and do it! First urgently dispatch a batch of papers from Gaoping City, mobilize all the soldiers to write leaflets, and after a few days, directly use bed crossbows and catapults to shoot leaflets into Guzang City, and we can sit and watch Han Sui's army riot." ”
Subsequently, Ma Chao sent someone to Gaoping and brought back several truckloads of cut paper from the Liangwang Mansion, each paper was the size of a page, and could be used to write nearly 100 small characters on it. After these papers were transported to the barracks, the 10,000 siege troops of the Xiliang Army, Huang Xuanshi, and Gao Shun were all mobilized to write leaflets. The content on the flyer is also bizarre, there is everything.
The 10,000 soldiers who followed Pang De to join the Xiliang Army wrote the hardest, and some soldiers wrote on the leaflets: "Han Sui is a big traitor, and sooner or later he will be harmed!" Some soldiers wrote: "Brothers, hurry up and surrender, the Xiliang Army here eats fragrant and spicy food, and the treatment is much better than that of Ma Jiajun." Some soldiers scolded fiercely: "Wang Ba and Xiao Qi San, if you don't surrender and bombard the sky......!"
There are also some illiterate soldiers, so they painted on the paper all over the picture of the turtle king, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even Han Sui's beheading, in short, they are all original from the soldiers, and the authenticity and life atmosphere are very strong.
After the leaflet was successfully made, the three armies went out together, from Lingju to Wuwei Cangsong City, and almost did not encounter decent resistance to take the city, and then the army continued to march northwest, and came to Han Sui's son-in-law Yan Xing, who was in charge of garrisoning.
Gao Shun gave an order, and the giant catapult that originally launched the thunderbolt roared and threw many large paper balls wrapped in leaflets into the city. As the paper balls flew over the walls, they cracked open from the inside and became a flurry of snowflakes that spread all over the castle and beyond, as if a heavy snowfall had fallen artificially.
It's just that this piece of paper snow is different from the snowflakes of nature, it can't melt on the ground, and it is picked up by others, which disturbs the minds of the officers and soldiers defending the city for a while.
