There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure.

Qi Cheng, Ma Shuo's father-in-law, a three-rank hussar general who has experienced hardships, is not an ordinary old man.

This time, Qi Cheng took the initiative to come out, on the one hand, he was still thinking about it, but on the other hand, he also wanted to take a good look at Ma Shuo's son-in-law.

Over the past few days, Qi Cheng has also known the ins and outs of the matter, and knows what is going on with the appearance of this son-in-law. In his heart, he is still happy for his daughter, his daughter is lucky, a son-in-law who is casually assigned can be so good, and he treats her well.

If, or under normal circumstances, a situation like Qi Jing is almost reduced to a tool for giving birth to children, whether or not you can eat and dress is a matter.

However, now his son-in-law is obviously not taking an ordinary road, and he obviously has the intention of being a strong party, and he has a team of people in his hands. It is not an easy task to take this path, it is a road that requires the cost of life.

For Daqin, this former hussar general no longer has much loyalty. The past experience has made the loyalty in his heart gone. If he deserved it, then he didn't say anything, the key is that he was framed.

Now, since his son-in-law has chosen this path, as an old father-in-law, of course he can't stand idly by. However, whether or not to hand over the things in his hand to him still needs to be investigated. After all, what is to be handed over is related to the net worth of many people.

Along the way, Ma Shuo didn't ask, and Qi Cheng didn't speak, he just quietly observed, observing his Ma Shuo's every move, and observing the entire Auxiliary Qin Army. I have to say that Qi Cheng saw a lot of things that shocked him along the way.

Whether it is the military discipline of the auxiliary Qin army, or the weapons they use, they are no longer comparable to the ordinary Qin army. In particular, the cavalry under Ma Shuo's command actually used saddles and stirrups that he had never seen before, as well as horseshoes.

For cavalry, these three items were revolutionary. The cavalry of the Auxiliary Qin Army, which possessed these three items, did not dare to say that they were invincible in the world, but the absolutely ordinary cavalry could no longer compete with them.

This time to attack the barbarian army, the appearance of those powerful catapults, once again made Qi Cheng's eyes light up, his son-in-law is simply too mysterious, and he can actually get such a siege weapon.

I have to admit that Qi Cheng is becoming more and more satisfied with Ma Shuo's son-in-law.

Now, hearing Ma Shuo take the initiative to ask himself, Qi Cheng naturally no longer reserved, and directly said his thoughts.

"Son-in-law, according to your plan, it should be along this route and go straight to the county seat of Hanoi, right?" Qi Cheng pointed to the map and asked Ma Shuo.

"Not bad!" Ma Shuo replied.

"Judging by the various intelligence available at the moment, there is no problem with such a decision. However, just in case, a detachment of centaurs should be arranged in each of these two places. You don't need too many people, just two or three thousand people each. Qi Cheng pointed to two places on the map and said.

Following where Qi Cheng was pointing, Ma Shuo's mind was running rapidly. Soon, Ma Shuo understood what his father-in-law meant. Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.

The two places Qi Cheng was referring to were very crucial. These two places have arranged people and horses, and they don't need too much, but they can directly block the possible reinforcements from the other two counties. In this way, the siege of the city will have no worries, and there is no need to worry about the appearance of reinforcements from the other side.

Not only that, but at the critical moment, you can also surround the point to send reinforcements, set up ambushes in those two places, and then let the other party in to close the door and beat the dog.

Soldiers, you are fast!

Ma Shuo immediately ordered the three thousand-strong teams of the Qinglong Battalion who participated in the vanguard, plus one thousand-man team of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, to form two groups of men and horses, and rushed to those two places respectively, nailed there firmly, and did not allow the barbarians to cross there.

At the same time, just in case, Ma Shuo transferred two thousand infantry teams from the Golden Battalion, and reinforced the infantry of one thousand people in each direction to assist in the defense. It is believed that two thousand cavalry and one thousand infantry in each place are enough to build a solid defensive line.

After the men and horses were separated, the number of men and horses attacking Hanoi County was suddenly reduced to more than 24,000. However, Ma Shuo did not plan to attack the city alone. He would wait for Li Mu's men to arrive, and then attack from both sides.

After the adjustments were implemented, Qi Cheng communicated with Ma Shuo again.

"Virtuous son-in-law, there is something to discuss, old man Haixi will discuss with you!"

"Father-in-law, please speak!"

"The old man used to be a hussar general, and speaking of which, he also has some family background in his hands. At the beginning, because of the old man, many cronies were also implicated, and the current situation is not very good. So, I want to put these people on your side. First, I can be regarded as giving them an explanation; Second, there are still a lot of good hands among these people, and they can also help the virtuous son-in-law! Qi Cheng said after hesitating slightly.

"Oh! - Well, that's great! Ma Shuo didn't expect Qi Cheng to tell him about this. This is a great thing for Ma Shuo. Qi Cheng's cronies, they must all have something to do with the military. Such people are all treasures for Ma Shuo. His subordinates are still a little shabby to say. The original old foundation, there is basically no regular army background. Whether it is the fourth battalion of cavalry or the fifth battalion of infantry, most of the men and horses are born in a hurry, or they are captured by mountain bandits or barbarians.

In the time-honored battalion, only the members of the Qinglong battalion are retired border army veterans of the year. However, these veterans are all wounded soldiers, and although they have prosthetic limbs and prosthetic legs made for them by Ma Shuo, they certainly cannot be compared with normal people when it comes to combat effectiveness.

What's more, Ma Shuo's requirements for cavalry are much more than that. Later, he will also develop heavy ramming cavalry. It is clear that these disabled veterans cannot take on such a heavy responsibility.

The ten newly built infantry battalions are all regular border troops, but on the one hand, they are from the rest of the Yumen Army, and on the other hand, they are from the rest of the Suoman Army, and they are not Ma Shuo's real descendants. It's okay to say that ordinary soldiers, especially officers at all levels inside, if they are not descendants, there will still be certain problems in commanding at that time.

Now, the old man suddenly said that he had some cronies to use, and Ma Shuo was naturally overjoyed.

Come on, come on!

As many as I want, I'll take it all.
