Section 6 Ma Qiang
The first to arrive at Jinju City were more than 1,500 elite cavalry under the account of Yufu Kingdom, and they set out from Taiyuan, one man and two horses, day and night, in order to quickly take down the nail on the road to the south as soon as possible before Hezhong and Bai Yujing reacted.
The commander of this cavalry is Yu Fuguo's henchman, Ma Qiang, the general of the Right God Army.
This person is just over forty, his hair has already collapsed, he simply shaved his head, but he is also Niu Shan Mao looks cool.
He was not wearing armor, but was wearing a military uniform, riding on a horse and looking at the head that had just been handed out of Jinju City.
The knight's face was very familiar to him, it seemed to be surnamed Shi, he was originally a merchant in the Western Regions, and then the country was destroyed, and they moved to Baiyujing, before the expansion of the Shence Army, many businessmen took the opportunity to mix the origin of a Shence Army.
This surnamed Shi can probably be regarded as the most courageous in this batch.
A trace of guilt rose in Ma Qiang's heart, and he felt that if he hadn't ordered this person to enter the city, maybe he wouldn't have to die.
"Ma Shuai, it seems that this Jinzhou City is going against Yu Gonggong. ”
Lu Ping, the mastermind of Yufuguo, was wearing a white fox fur and riding on a white horse of a divine steed, and this time he asked Yufuguo for a request to follow the first batch of people and horses to go south.
Not far behind Lu Ping, there was a Taoist priest wearing an apricot yellow robe, who was said to be a member of the Taiping Dao.
Ma Qiang knew that this time, in order to go south, Yu Gonggong not only made peace with the Uighurs, but also reached a series of agreements with Taiping Dao and Hebei Domain, which added a lot of help.
Li Yin had already prepared. Ma Ping looked ahead, and he had basically expected the situation in front of him.
Although Jinju is located in a key position, its city wall is an ordinary earthen wall, not even a layer of bricks, and there are even a few trees growing tenaciously from the wall in the sunny place in the south, which was cut down by Cui You a few days ago.
Since the emperor killed Cheng Qili and Bai Yujing officially turned his face with Taiyuan, the situation in Jinzhou has become more and more tense day by day. Cui You and Li Yin naturally seized the time to make adjustments, first demolished all the houses close to the wall outside the city wall, and set up a military fortress outside the city gate as a screen for the city gate.
Especially the north gate, which is facing the way of the army of the northern fish auxiliary country, is the key point that was carefully designed by Li Yin and requisitioned a lot of people.
Ma Qiang looked at the military village that stood in front of the door and the military flag depicted with the pattern of the bear, and knew that this might not be easy to step over.
"Let the brethren put on their armour, Ma Shuai. Lupin pointed to the city of Jinju in front of him. "Just Cui You and Li Yin, how can they be our opponents. ”
Ma Qiang glanced at him. This Lu Ping is young but can serve as the mastermind of the Yufu Kingdom, in addition to his strong administrative ability, he also has the background of the surname Lu.
Although he is good at learning, the military battle formation may not be his strength.
"After a day and a night, the brethren were a little tired. Ma Ping explained. "Li Yin, that thief, is hiding here to wait for work, and he can't go up rashly. ”
Although these elite knights of the Shence Army were "rebellious", the military law was the usual practice of the Yu army, and the riders rarely engaged in the same armored cavalry equipment as they did in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but transferred the horses and horses without armor of the medium-sized cavalry.
On long marches, no matter how well the armor fits, it is an uncomfortable enough load, so the riders put the armor on the camel animals and travel lightly.
Now, if you are in a hurry to engage the troops, it is natural to put on the armor of the whole army, and then fight on foot.
Ma Qiang was reluctant to do this.
Cavalry is a standard technical class, and only those who are qualified to be cavalry can be qualified to be cavalry, and Ma Ping doesn't want to let the elite he has trained die in the siege meat grinder like the big-headed soldiers.
"We're suddenly heading south, and we're thundering, and most of the people on the other side are terrified......" Lupin still insisted.
This is actually a position, as the confidant of Yu Fuguo, Lu Ping's power is pinned on the trust of Yu Fuguo, as long as Yu Gonggong still trusts him, then a general like Ma Ping will not dare to offend him too much.
And Ma Qiang, as the general of the Shence Army, he needs to have people under him. If there is no basic plate in the army, then even if Father-in-law Yu trusts Ma Qiang again, the title of the right general of the Shence Army can only be given to others.
Therefore, Ma Qiang naturally has to be more cautious and conservative than Lupin.
"There is no need to rush for a moment. ”
Ma Qiang waved his hand, summoned a few generals, and whispered a few words to them.
"I've sent someone back to report to the general. Ma Qiang did not say whether to attack the city immediately, he explained to Lu Ping: "If you want to kill back in Guanzhong, you can't have the mentality of stealing chickens." If you can't steal Jinju, then you won't fight, such an idea can't be realized. ”
Lupin remained silent, keenly aware of the message from Ma Qiang. Lu Gongzi also has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he naturally knows the hidden meaning of this.
"The northwest cadre position is in response to the killing aura of the white tiger, and it is still a dirt slope, let's move there temporarily. ”
Ma Qiang waved his hand.
Feudal superstition has long been part of classical military doctrine, and according to the Confucian doctrine of the unity of heaven and man, wind, rain and snow may be an important military message.
For example, the most classic wind blowing off the military flag is not good for the commander.
Excellent generals such as Sun Wu and Li Jing dismissed these as nonsense, and the inferior ones used these superstitious means to achieve their own ends, and only the worst generals regarded these as examples.
Ma Qiang knew that his subordinates had been driving for a long time and a night, and their physical strength and patience had reached a critical point, so it was best to add some mystery to what orders to give at this time.
The reason why he ordered the move to the northwest was simply because there was a dirt slope there, which was considered a high point.
As for what is the northwest cadre position, the White Tiger slaughter and the like are purely nonsense, if the soil slope is in the northeast, then Ma Qiang will say that it is the northeast position, there is the solidity of the mountains, which is in response to the changing atmosphere of the green dragon, which is conducive to the army.
All in all, these theories are in the service of him as the main general.
The main force of the cavalry gradually moved to the northwest, and dozens of cavalrymen immediately put on armor, and they looked around the east and west gates of Jinju Castle under the command of the military academy.
These cavalry were both scouts for reconnaissance and a means of temptation for horses.
Ma Qiang's meaning is very simple, he wants to take this opportunity to test the courage of Cui You and Li Yin.
Let's see if these two minds are going to be turtles behind closed doors, or hiding in the shadows and trying to run out and bite at any time.
The right general of the Shence Army is very confident, and he believes that Cui You and Li Yin, who rely on the shadow of the door, are definitely not his opponents.
