The two militia groups of Cuijiabao and Wujiapo successively received Ma Shuo's conscription order. However, the attitudes of the two families are different.

The head of the Cui family is called Cui Hao, who once served as the deputy general of a battalion in the border army, and later retired because of injury, and took the clan to establish Cuijiazhuang, after years of development, it has the current scale, and the militia under his hands has 16700 people, and the combat effectiveness is not bad. In this operation to clear the barbarian squad, they also successfully destroyed two barbarian squads and gained a number of military merits.

Because Cui Hao was out of the army, after receiving the conscription order sent by Ma Shuo, he quickly made a decision to let his nephew Cui Xiucheng go to support with a 500 militia group. However, before Cui Xiucheng set off, Cui Hao specially told him that this support should not be meritorious but not faulty, and the shouting and cheering should be the mainstay, not the main one.

Compared with Cui Jiabao's side, Wu Jiapo's attitude is very cold. Wu Jiapo's family name is Takeo, he is not tall, his physique is quite strong, his body is full of muscles, and he is a good fighter.

Takeo himself did not serve as a border soldier because he was not tall enough. However, he had two younger brothers in the border army, one was a commander and the other was a lieutenant general. In terms of strength, Wujiapo's militia is actually more powerful than Cuijiabao's, and this time in the operation of clearing the barbarian squad, it successfully killed four barbarian squads, and the battle was successful.

Because of this, the current Takeo is a little fluttery. He didn't pay much attention to the conscription order of a thousand-commander like Ma Shuo, so after receiving the conscription order, he just threw it aside and did not follow.

The five hundred people in Cuijiabao can only be better than nothing for Ma Shuo. For Ma Shuo, it is actually the arrival of the other two groups that is the most meaningful. One is naturally the cottage guard army brought by He Yilong.

The other way was a complete accident, or rather an unexpected surprise. In the mountains and forests near the Great Yu Ridge, there is actually a team of mountain bandits, and there are quite a few of them, a full 2,000 people. The most important thing is that these 2,000 people do not include an old and weak woman or child, they are all real adult men, and even some of them are wounded soldiers who have retired from the border army, but they still have combat effectiveness.

Although this group of people looks like mountain bandits, they are different from those mountain bandits who burn, kill, loot and do all the bad things, they are more like a group of righteous bandits, and the targets of the attack are mainly those mountain bandits with a bad reputation, corrupt officials, and bullying landlords. Sometimes, they will also quietly run to the barbarian area to rob the barbarians.

Da Yuling is actually just one of their temporary settlements. This time, they also happened to be here, and they happened to encounter Ma Shuo's men and horses who kept attacking and harassing the barbarians. After figuring out what happened, Guo Juboa, the boss of this group, made a decision to take his brother to support Ma Shuo and fight the barbarians together.

When Guo Juboa's people found Ma Shuo and told Ma Shuo about Guo Juboa's intentions, Ma Shuo was very excited and immediately expressed his gratitude and welcome.

Among Guo Juboa's 2,000 people, there were more than 300 cavalry. Among the 500 people on Cuijiabao's side, there are 100 cavalry, plus the guards brought by He Yilong, the number of cavalry has now exceeded 4,000. Of course, this does not include Qi Jing's 100 women's army.

Now, Ma Shuo's biggest headache is Qi Jing's more than 100 women's army. It certainly won't work to rush back, but it doesn't seem safe to let them participate in the battle. In desperation, Ma Shuo had no choice but to let Qi Jing take this group of women's soldiers as his guards and station them near him.

There were 4,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, and the strength of Ma Shuo's hand suddenly reached more than 7,000. In this case, Ma Shuo discussed with several 500 leaders and decided on the next lag strategy. Soon, more than 7,000 soldiers divided into two routes, each executing according to the plan.

Besides, after resting for the night, the barbarians also acted according to the plan the next morning. More than 3,000 Broken Tail troops were distributed on both sides of the entire team, and the rest of the personnel walked in the middle, always ready that once the Qin people attacked and disturbed, the Broken Tail Army would take the initiative to rush up and entangle the Qin people, so that the large army could advance smoothly.

It's just that along the way, after walking for almost two hours, not a single Qin cavalry appeared. This situation surprised a barbarian whose nerves had always been tense, what was going on? Because the scouts were not released, and they were not very familiar with the situation outside, the leaders of the barbarian tribes, including Wuyan Muchi, felt incredible.

However, this situation also caused the barbarians, who had always maintained a high level of tension, to begin to relax involuntarily, and this relaxation soon manifested itself in their actions, and the previously disciplined ranks began to loosen, and some of the barbarians' steps began to become a little lazy.

"Commander, did you order the sons and daughters to rest a little!" The leader of a tribe made a suggestion to Wuyan Muchi. In fact, the tribal leader himself was a little tired. It's just that he can't say that he wants to rest, so he can only use other people as an excuse.

After hearing the words of this tribal leader, Wuyan Muchi did not speak immediately, but looked up at the surrounding situation. Looking at the somewhat loose team, Wu Yan Muchi's expression was not very good, and his brows were tightly locked. As things stand, the rest is the right thing to do. However, Wuyan Muchi always felt that something was wrong, as if something bad was about to happen.

"Water, quick, there's water ahead!"

Just when Wuyan Muchi was hesitating to give the order to rest on the spot, suddenly, a cheer rang out from the front of the barbarian team. Then I saw a lot of barbarians rushing out of the ranks and rushing in one direction.

The barbarians were exhausted by two hours of walking, especially thirsty. I had water around me, but there wasn't a lot of it. Now, suddenly hearing that there was a water source ahead, the barbarians were at once attracted and forgot about the so-called march requirements.

"Damn! Chop off those guys who pick heads! ”

Such a scene made Wu Yan Muchi furious, and he ordered unceremoniously. This kind of disorganized, undisciplined behavior must be curbed, and this time, several heads must be cut off. With Wuyan Muchi's order, his personal guard cavalry immediately rushed out, and soon came in front of the group of barbarians who rushed to the water source. With their knives in hand, several of the barbarians who rushed to the front had lost their heads and lay there as headless corpses.

Da-da-da-da!

At the same time, the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the tremor of the ground, also approached the barbarian ranks.

"The Qin people are here—"
