Chapter 77: Arrogant

Ma Cheng had just ordered the sergeant to release the detective, and Ma Lin's handwritten order arrived. A handwritten command made the Ma Cheng brothers bloody. The Ma Cheng brothers were scolded with bitter expression when they were scolded, and they looked at each other speechlessly, so they had to make up their minds.

After ordering his subordinates to drive the civilians to use horse whips and sticks. Amid the tragic roar, Ma Yi personally cut off several civilians who were lying on the ground and refused to get up. The brigade of civilians moved slowly and was scattered on the roadside.

The grain truck and cannon gathered together.

Macheng was already numb when he sat by the bonfire. One day and night, more than a hundred civilians died of starvation in the baggage camp.

This is war. War is not a romance, but a pile of lives. Most of the 20,000 civilians are old and weak from military families. They are weak, and only young and middle-aged people can survive this war. Each of them swallows the forts.

There are still tens of thousands of women and children who have no men in their homes, and I don’t know how many of them can survive this winter.

The personal soldiers handed over a piece of roasted deer meat, and the fat deer meat bite and mouth full of oil.

After ate a few pieces of deer meat in a hurry, Ma Cheng rushed to sleep with his second brother Ma Yi and his Shenji Camp. He took his own soldiers to patrol the garrison. More than a thousand regiments occupied a piece of land in the northwest of Sancha Fort and set up a bonfire.

The tent made of animal skin was filled with food and clothing, and many soldiers were already sleeping soundly. Ma Cheng carefully walked through his subordinates, and felt very calm. Thanks to excellent training, he ate a lot of meat.

If you are about to raise these more than a thousand kidnapping children, you will not be afraid of this mere cold in a short period of time.

Of course, even if a man who is strong over time is exhausted and dragged down.

After patrolling his camp, Macheng, was in a good mood. He learned from a personal soldier to apply butter on his hands and avoid frostbite on his face. He got into the tent and fell asleep soundly.

The next day, early morning.

The Macheng brothers hurried to the Central Army camp with dozens of personal soldiers to participate in the military convention.

In the central army's tent, all the veterans were all ashen. After Ma Cheng gritted his teeth and asked, he realized that Du Song's army on the west road had left Fushun Pass and threw away Kaiyuan troops and went east. Ma Yi finally

He was young, and he couldn't help but cursed a few arrogant words. The man attracted Marin's scolding.

Although Ma Cheng had known that this battle would be defeated, he still felt a little angry. Du Song was too arrogant. The strategy of the General Secretary was to attack Jiefan, Gulezhai, and Kaiyuan Army attack Shang.

Jianya, after the two armies met, they supported each other, only twenty or thirty miles apart. Although there was a river of bewilderness in the middle, the two armies combined with nearly 50,000 troops, and even if the war was not good, they were enough to protect themselves.

Now, Du Song is throwing away the Kaiyuan army commander and moving in. He is really arrogant and arrogant. Ma Cheng is immersed in his heart, and his nameless fire rises. What does it mean to say that the criminals in the Battle of Sarhu are the first to recommend Du Song and manage Yang

Although the Duke has no talent and his prestige is not very strong, his advance strategy is stable. However, Du Song is too arrogant, so what can the master of the strategy be? The debate here can be stopped. Sarhu's defeat is the first crime.

It's juniper.

Many of the generals in Kaiyuan were dissatisfied. After complaining, Malin had to comfort the generals with kindness.

After the military discussion, Malin also deserves to be appeased: "Let's advance, the former army and horses will leave the fort in Chenshi and attack Shangjianya."

Although the generals were dissatisfied, they had to obey the orders. Ma Yi was a little anxious and slapped the table and shouted: "Father, the back team's baggage and artillery battalion are still trapped in the snow nest. How can we advance?"

The generals of Kaiyuan couldn't help but complain again, most of whom were supporting Ma Yi, and Du Song wanted to take the credit and let him go. The army on the west road was strong and the left and right was not bad for the past few days. The people were angry and could not invade, so Malin had to order it. The front army and horses stopped for a moment, and waited for the back battalion's supplies to follow and immediately advanced.

At noon, the baggage camp.

Under the escort of his personal soldiers, Ma Cheng looked up at the sun in the sky. The wind and snow stopped and the sun also came out. The weather in Liaodong was too abnormal. Looking around, the muddy roads ran over by grain trucks and cannon trucks, even Ma Guozhong I also felt bitter in my heart. The cannon truck weighing thousands of pounds over the snow-covered road, making the road muddy and becoming more and more difficult to move.

Ma Cheng's face remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with storms, which finally unraveled a mystery that has lasted forever.

Why was Du Song's army blocked by the Hunhe River? The two armies could not look after each other? They said that the Jianzhou troops built dikes upstream to release water, and used strange plans to separate Du Song's army, so that they could not look after each other at the head and tail, and most of them were putting gold on their faces. How to build a dike in Liaodong in February?

The truth is revealed at this moment. When Du Song's front army crossed the Hun River, the Hun River was still frozen and unobstructed.

However, the weather suddenly became warmer. In one or two days, the solid ice layer on the Hun River was not so reliable. Therefore, Du Song's army was separated by the Hun River in two parts, and the cavalry could never pass. Ma Cheng pressed hard I was shocked and pondered for a moment and suddenly became excited. I still gave the back camp supplies to my second brother. Dozens of cavalry galloped to the central army tent. Dozens of cavalry skipped the back camp and ran in the snow. Ma Cheng suddenly thought that this was a An opportunity, an opportunity to save the Kaiyuan army.

In the afternoon, the Kaiyuan Army was thirty miles southeast of the river, on the bank of Hun River.

Under the escort of more than a thousand elite cavalry, the Kaiyuan generals, including Ma Lin and his son, guerrilla Pan Zongyan, and the gang general Gong Niansui, dismounted and walked to the Hunhe River under the snow. Ma Cheng's face was quite gloomy and waved his hand lightly. A personal soldier gritted his teeth and drove his war horses and stepped on the ice covered by heavy snow.

Crack, a light sound from the ice layer made the soldier pale and hurriedly controlled the anxious war horse. Even Malin, the Kaiyuan generals' faces turned pale, and the soldier had no choice but to clamp them lightly. The horse's belly continued to move forward. After only a few breaths, the ice suddenly cracked. The war horse suddenly neighed, and the people and horses fell into the cold river. The left and right soldiers were in a hurry to rescue the soldier who was soaked all over. After coming up, the war horse could not be saved.

There was a silence like death by the Hunhe River, and all the Kaiyuan generals looked dead.

According to the military newspaper, more than 10,000 elite troops of Du Song's front army had already left the central army and crossed the Hunhe River to attack the Jiefan Village.

Ma Lin suddenly became ferocious, breaking the silence: "Let's explore again, where will the central army in the west go?"

More than a hundred scouts were assigned to the horse team, and groups of three or five were galloping east along the Hun River.

Amid the horse's neighing, the generals of Kaiyuan looked at each other speechlessly. Looking at the Hunhe covered with snow in front of him, their hearts were cold. After a day or two, the thawed Hunhe became a death-seeking river.

Malin's face turned pale and then scolded: "Go back to the camp!"

The brigade of elite cavalry guarded the coach back to the camp in a hurry, but was banned by Malin. This is a secret. If any person leaks a word, he will be executed immediately.

That night, Kaiyuan Central Army Camp.

In the brightly lit central army tent, the former generals gathered to discuss matters except the vanguard team.
