Chapter 744: The Eyes of Law

One day and night, on the banks of the Yellow River, Qingshui Camp.

Ten thousand cavalry suddenly appeared in Fugu County on the bank of the Yellow River, and the Qingshuiying side wall was disarmed. The hundreds of officers and soldiers guarding the side wall took over the Qingshuiying ferry. The cavalry went out to guard the four times to isolate the news and contact the important towns.

Yansui is a major town on the nine borders and is chaotic for many years. It was originally a frequent place for Outer Mongolians to invade the territory for many years. However, the Western Mongolian tribes were defeated in Baicheng and fled west in a hurry to Qinghai.

.

Now, this important Yansui town has not been in war for a long time, and its troops have been drawn into the Central Plains to quell the chaos. Qingshui Camp, dozens of generals below Du Wenhuan, were waiting at the ferry early, and a few days ago, ten in Yansui Town were in ten days.

Yu County Government recruited nearly a thousand ferries of all sizes and sizes, and only waited for the Liao cavalry army to cross the river as soon as it arrived.

At the ferry, teams of elite riders rolled in, and the sky was covered with yellow sand.

Stop by the Yellow River to drink horses, rest and replenish your energy. The Liaozhen Iron Cavalry Army often travels hundreds of miles a day and night, each with two horses, or even three horses, constantly changing horses, and even eating and sleeping on the horse's back. A team of people and eating and sleeping.

The cavalry team bumped and rolled on the horse's back, and went to the Yellow River to drink horses and fetch water, which was a look of elite soldiers.

"The lower-ranking general of Yansui, acting general Du Wenhuan, meet with the King of Liao Qiansui!"

Ma Cheng turned over and dismounted at the ferry, looked at a strong man kneeling in front of him, and said angrily: "Get up, the ferry, can you prepare the clear water?"

The strong man in his thirties, Du Wenhuan, the general of Yansui, hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "If you go back to your highness, you will be together. The official will not make any mistakes in his own hands."

After two hours of rest, the army began to cross the Yellow River, and after crossing the Yellow River, they took Tianshui.

The personal soldiers found a clean floor and spread a sheepskin blanket. Ma Cheng sat down heavily and patted his sore thighs. He took the water bag handed over by the personal soldiers and drank a few sips of mountain spring.

On one side, Du Wenhuan and his generals did not dare to show up. They stood respectfully and looked at their toes, with big hot sweat dripping down.

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "I haven't marched for a long time for a long time, and my legs are useless."

Du Wenhuan was shocked and speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond, but was in a panic and sweating profusely.

Ma Cheng was interesting to watch and actually said with a smile: "Did you act as the general of the governor? Who have you offended? Hong Chengchou?"

Du Wenhuan was shocked and afraid to blink from time to time, and the excitement on his forehead emerged, grinning and twitching. Unexpectedly, the famous Liao King Ma Cheng was so kind and wise, and even explained his embarrassing situation in one sentence. The acting general was in charge.

He is the acting general, that is, the temporary general. This stout military man is so dull and does not know how to curry favor with him. He thinks that the situation is very embarrassing, and most of them are not liked by the commander Hong.

Du Wenhuan was sweating profusely and had to say respectfully: "Your Highness's eyes are perfect."

Ma Cheng smiled and stood up and said, "You have done a good job in collecting ferry affairs. You are the acting general and you will be promoted to a transfer officer. Are you willing?"

Du Wenhuan was shocked and ecstatic, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed heavily, and shouted: "I am willing, I am willing, the minister dares not obey!"

On one side, all the Yansui generals were stunned and a little confused. It took a long time to come back to their senses.

Why did General Du Shen show his face in front of the hall, and turned into a person from Liao Town, and became a military food and grass transport envoy. He didn't know whether he should congratulate him for a while. Looking at Du Wenhuan with a happy face, he realized that this should be

A good thing, I was amazed in my heart. This Prince of Liao was really in his actions. He was very arrogant. If this was put in the early years of Chongzhen, he would probably have been shot by the censors, but now, he dares to take this path.

Those who play the chapters are dead.

Du Wenhuan became an official in Liao Town, and he worked harder and ran away in a row.

Ma Cheng smiled and looked down at Hong Chengchou, who was just an old-school bureaucrat, and he might not be able to catch up with Yuan Chonghuan in terms of talent.

Cross the Yellow River and enter Qingyang Prefecture.

It was only 500 miles from Qingyang to Tianshui. When they entered the horse city of Qingyang Prefecture, they had no worries. The whole army had enough food and drink to rest for a night, and made up for the horses that ran to death along the way.

Qingyang Prefecture is not big, and the bandits have been in chaos for many years, and nine out of ten families have left their lives in poverty.

At night, on the city wall.

There is no prefecture in Qingyang now, and there are only tens of thousands of people. There is only a county magistrate in the yamen leading three squads of yamen runners, barely maintaining order in the city. The low and dilapidated city walls are now, Macheng looks up at the sky, and looks up at the distance around him.

It is flat and loess everywhere, making life in this place is very difficult. The closer you get to the northwest, the more difficult it is to control your thoughts. Qingyang and Tianshui are getting closer to the outposts that were stationed in their previous lives.

Perhaps he was in a state of ease and had no sleepiness. He had been thinking about the journey that all the troops were left far behind by him.

Now, 20,000 cavalrymen in the rear team are escorting food and grass. It will take three or five days to advance to Yansui. There are also cavalrymen coming to help in Shanxi and Jizhen. The journey is too far and I can't count on it. How to annihilate 300,000 cavalry in 13,000 cavalry

People, Macheng looked at the flat terrain and smiled coldly. What else can we do to crush the enemy with our strength? The iron cavalry army that I have spent ten years to train has even crushed the Eight Banners soldiers. The fifth camp of the Left is some more.

What kind of thing?

The old tactics were made, the central government broke through, surrounded and annihilated the fifth camp of Gezuo at Tianshui City.

Ma Cheng said in his mind that he had a 70% or 80% chance of winning, compared with the quality of war horses, equipment, and individual soldiers. Can't the iron cavalry under his command crush a group of bandits?

The sleepiness came, and he leaned against the city wall and lie down in his clothes. In his dream, he seemed to return to the lonely outpost in the boundless Gobi Desert.

The next day, early morning.

The ruined Qingyang City was boiling, and a large number of Mongolian pack horses that ran to the twitch were abandoned. Even Mongolian horses with famous endurance could not withstand the long-distance force today. The long-distance raids of two thousand miles were just Mongolian carried by the army.

More than 20,000 horses died, and the cavalry, who did not hesitate to run a large number of horses to force their troops, created a classic example of long-distance raids.

The iron cavalry rolled westward and came out in the air. An hour later, the people of Qingyang trembled and left the house. They were shocked when they looked at the large number of abandoned horses inside and outside the city.

"Cover it, gather it!"

The Qingyang County Magistrate had already received orders to beat drums and drums along the streets, leading the people to collect the horses abandoned by the Liao cavalry, share the food for the dead, and send the alive to Yansui. The county Magistrate's two eyelids twitched together, and his heart was pounding.

Is there such a way to fight in war? How many horses have died of running? It’s really an eye-opener.

In the early morning, Tianshui City.

"Get up, get up!"

"Start the cannon, fire the cannon!"

The city wall was in chaos, and Shaanxi soldiers holding muskets and swords and guns got up one after another. The rumbling sound of cannons broke the dead silence of Tianshui City. The fifth camp of the Gezuo drove the bandits to attack for five days, and a large number of old bandits took the battle personally.
