"Stinky boy, do you still need to be so polite with your eldest brother? Do you want to say that let the eldest brother take people to defend this place, and then use the cavalry in the hands of the eldest brother to reinforce the left and right when necessary. ”

In fact, when he saw the map, Ma Shuo already had an idea in his head. If it were someone else, he wouldn't say anything. Now, it was his younger brother who was in charge of this matter, and he naturally said what he had in mind.

As he spoke, Ma Shuo patted Mark's shoulder with his hand, a big man of more than one meter and eight meters, as strong as a cow. Although he is not yet eighteen years old, he has already become a staff member in his own right, and it is estimated that only in front of Ma Shuo, the eldest brother, will Mark have the opportunity to twist and pinch for a while.

"Big brother, you actually guessed it! You're amazing! Seeing that Ma Shuo actually guessed what he wanted to say, Mark was even more shocked, and admired his eldest brother even more.

"Alright, don't slap your big brother's ass! The eldest brother asked you, this time you came over, how many of your direct subordinates brought over? "The 50,000 people that Mark told Ma Shuo just now refers to the number of people gathered by the militia at present, but as a border general, Mark could not have come to Huangsha City alone. At least, his immediate subordinates were going to bring it over.

"Because the situation over there is more serious, this time the Lord General only asked me to bring a team of 1,000 people, and the rest of the men and horses stayed in the gate and obeyed the unified deployment!"

Good guys, a staff general has only given a thousand direct subordinates, and it seems that the top of the border army has also reached the point of last resort. Obviously, the top brass of the border army let these people go down and find a way to recruit people on their own.

"Okay, a thousand is a thousand! In the past few days, you have tried to recruit some more retired veterans, and it is best to make up three or five thousand people from your direct team, and I will provide you with a batch of weapons built on the cottage, no matter how you say it, you must also ensure your own safety first! By the way, how do these people solve the problem of food and grass? Is there any arrangement on the side of the border army? ”

The problem of grain and grass is naturally a very critical issue, if you can't even eat enough, where will you have the strength to fight with the barbarians.

"Big brother, don't worry, there is no problem with grain and grass, there are two reserve warehouses in Huangsha City itself, which contain a large amount of reserve grain and grass, which is enough for a hundred thousand troops for a year. This time, General Li specially authorized me to call on the grain and grass from one of the warehouses to organize these militia groups to build a defensive line! Mark told Ma Shuo about the grain and grass, and Ma Shuo couldn't help but breathe a little relieved when he heard that the grain and grass were still sufficient.

"Regarding weapons, I'll arrange for Mr. Fan from the wine shop to dock with your people. He'll deliver the weapon to you then. Now, you first organize the militia that has arrived as soon as possible, and send me 8,000 people first, and I will immediately take them to this place called Xiaolongkou to arm them! For the other places, you should also arrange for people to go as soon as possible, you don't have to wait until everyone arrives, I am afraid it will be too late! ”

After thinking about it, Ma Shuo told Mark what he thought directly. Ma Shuo knows very well that in the current situation, time is life, and there can be no delay for a moment. Because according to Mark, in fact, two days ago, the town gate had been quietly opened. It's just that because the barbarians didn't know what the border army meant, they actually hesitated in the face of the empty barbarian pass.

However, this situation will certainly not be too long, and once the barbarians have figured out that the border army has abandoned the barbarian pass, their large forces will not hesitate to enter the barbarian pass. So, there is not much time left for everyone.

Although, those frontier troops who retreated voluntarily would quickly build a line of defense in front of the line that Mark was in charge of. However, no one dared to risk whether the barbarians would infiltrate from the place that the defense line could not cover and directly attack the second line of defense.

After Ma Shuo and Mark explained it, he didn't stay in Mark's room any longer, and after arranging the people and horses he brought, he went directly to the wine shop with dozens of Panlongwei. There are some things that he must explain to Fan Zeng.

That night, Ma Shuo stayed at the winery. Now the scope of the winery has expanded a lot, and all the houses in that block have been secretly purchased. So although Ma Shuo brought dozens of people, he could live completely open. Not only that, during this time, nearly five hundred retired veterans gathered on Fan Zeng's side.

This time, Ma Shuo directly asked Fan Zeng to turn around and bring these retired veterans to Mark, and let them serve as Mark's personal guards. At the same time, he also told Fan Zeng that once Mark sent someone to contact him about the weapons, he would transfer out a batch of reserve weapons stored in the brewery as soon as possible. At the same time, they also found a way to transport another batch of weapons and equipment from the cottage.

Of course, this time I don't have to worry about food and grass. When it comes to grain and grass, there will naturally be a unified dispatch by Mark.

After resting overnight in the winery, after breakfast the next day, Ma Shuo took Panlongwei to Mark's side again. When Ma Shuo arrived there, Mark had already prepared 8,000 people, plus Ma Shuo's own 12,000 people, which was exactly 20,000 people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce myself first, I, Ma Shuo, serve as the commander of the Shanzi Battalion of the border army. First of all, thank you for actively responding to the call-up order and taking the initiative to participate in this barbarian defense battle. As long as you have made meritorious contributions in the Great War, I will never hide your merits, and the rewards that should be won for everyone are not ambiguous. However, the ugly words are said in the front, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. In the barracks, there are no rules, so today I would like to remind you that in the coming days, please be sure to strictly demand yourself in accordance with the requirements of the border army management. ”

Standing in front of everyone, Ma Shuo expressed his thoughts unabashedly. This time, in order to deter the people of those militia groups, Ma Shuo released all the aura of his low-level martial artists for the first time. Feeling the powerful aura on Ma Shuo's body, the leaders of those militia groups were much more honest one by one, and it seemed that this captain of the border army was not an idle person.

"The headquarters is 20,000 people, divided into two divisions: cavalry and infantry! Guan Yun is hereby appointed as the commander of the cavalry and the commander of the 1,000th cavalry, Guo Jubao as the commander of the 2,000th cavalry, He Yilong as the commander of the 3,000th cavalry, Zhang Chen as the commander of the 4,000th cavalry, Zhang Qi as the commander of the 5,000th cavalry, and Jin Hao as the commander of the 6,000th cavalry. ”

"It is hereby appointed that Lü Kuang is the commander of the infantry and the commander of the 1,000th infantry team, Cui Xiu is the commander of the 2,000th infantry team, and Takeo is the commander of the 3,000th infantry team......"

Among the infantry commanders, Ma Shuo appointed some leaders of the militia.
