"More than two thousand cavalrymen can't break through the Taiping Army's infantry formation, what are you doing?"

Looking at Ma Mingyuan, nephew Ma Zhilong, relatives Ma Zhongxin and other cavalry generals, Ma Xiong came to fight. The more than 2,000 Guyuan Hui cavalry were brought out by his adoptive father Ma Jiaolin and handed him over to him, from north to south, from north to south, even if the Ming Dynasty King Li Dingguo had no choice but to help them, and he was supported by Guangxi Admiral Guoan, who was specially stayed in Guangxi for guarding. However, today, he had just charged for more than 300, which made Ma Xiong unacceptable. If the cavalry generals were not his confidants and clan members, he would have been dragged down to rectify the Dharma.

Dai Liangchen, the commander of the Han army, usually had a good relationship with Ma Zhongxin and others, so he stepped forward and said a few good things to them, saying that the Ming army's artillery fire was too fierce and the infantry formation was too dense, and the infantry was unable to restrain the formation of the Ming army for a long time, which made the cavalry unable to start. If they really fought desperately, how could they not be able to break the Taiping Army? It would be a bit too much of a loss, which was too unprofitable.

Dai Liangchen and Ma Xiong were both generals under the command of King Kong Youde, the two and Xian Guoan and others followed King Dingnan to travel south thousands of miles away. The battle was no more than those surrendered generals of the Ming Dynasty in Guangxi. Therefore, after he persuaded him, Ma Xiong pressed his anger. In his sight, Li Ruchun and other troops had been suppressed by the Taiping Army again, and there were corpses everywhere in front of the formation. If it weren't for the fierceness of the supervision team sent, the Green Camp soldiers would have been defeated by the Taiping Army. At this time, the Taiping Army's cavalry were still quietly staying at the lower left of the hillside, showing no sign of being dispatched.

Ma Xiong was not afraid of Taiping Army cavalry. In his opinion, it was better not to mention the so-called cavalry. No matter how hard the southern barbarians in Guangdong practiced, they would never be able to train them, such as the northern men. Most of the cavalry were captured war horses. Choosing some soldiers who could barely fall off the horse immediately was a bit scary at first glance, but in fact they were just used to scare people. If they really wanted to be sent to battle, Ma Xiong believed that his subordinates could defeat them by just pulling out hundreds of cavalry. Until now, the Taiping cavalry had not been dispatched, as if they were not dispatched, it indirectly confirmed Ma Xiong's guess, that is, this cavalry could not be fought at all.

On the river surface, the Ming army's naval warships were crossing the river one by one, but all they could do was to cheer up their troops, but they could not go ashore to help. The Ming army's naval artillery could not be defeated.

The navy was unable to interfere with the battlefield, and the cavalry was also a decoration. What Ma Xiong was concerned about was the Taiping Army's infantry formation and their artillery. The Qing army's infantry formation, dominated by the Green Camp, obviously could not defeat the Taiping Army's infantry, and the cavalry could not break through the opponent's defense line. So Ma Xiong was considering whether to order to withdraw the troops and no longer fight with the Taiping Army in field, and still used the previous plan to consume the Taiping Army with the strong city of Wuzhou, making Wuzhou a meat grinder, and hang the Taiping gangs little by little under the city. But now he ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the infantry would definitely not have time to retreat. Once the Taiping Army was called into a pursuit battle, the Green Camp would probably collapse, and the losses would be too great. Without the infantry such as the Green Camp, how could the cavalry alone defend the city? After all, it also required troops to defend the city.

When Ma Xiong was unsure of his mind, his son Ma Chengyin was first-class in riding skills and had the pride of being born with a calf and not afraid of a tiger. Seeing that the Taiping Army was suppressing the Green Camp too fiercely, he angrily stepped forward and asked for battle and said, "Father, the child is willing to lead troops to attack the Southern Barbarians."

Upon hearing this, the retreating cavalry general Ma Mingyuan hurriedly advised: "Chengyin, don't underestimate these Taiping gangs. They are not ordinary Ming troops. Prince Jian and Hahamu, Shang Kexi and others were asked to defeat them.

Ma Xiong's nephew Ma Zhongxin was also afraid that his brother would be stupid and bold, so he pretended to be arrogant without knowing it. He also advised Ma Chengyin not to be heroic.

Ma Chengyin was dissatisfied and said unjustly: "What are you afraid of? My tribe is not worse than the soldiers and generals of Manzhou." He also said to his father: "The Han people have no more soldiers than us. They are clearly here to fight the vanguards. If we don't defeat them now, will we wait for the Taiping gangs on the river to bring more Han people to fight them?"

"Second brother, you don't understand. The Han soldiers are powerful. I could see clearly before. Their stair formation is not something we can easily break through."

Ma Zhongxin's kindness persuasion was regarded as a donkey by Ma Chengyin. He snorted, without any face to his brother, and said, "Brother, is it a big brother who is scared to the Taiping Kou?"

"Second brother, how could you say such things?"

Ma Zhongxin was so excited by his cousin's words that he pulled out his clothes, pointed to the wounds on his body, and shouted: "I'm scared and don't look at how many bloody battles I've fought, from north to south, brother, did I charge forward any time, do you think the wound on my body was stabbed by myself?"

"Why do you have to be brave, why do you want to be ambitious and destroy our prestige?" Ma Chengyin was actually a little guilty, but when so many people looked at him, he refused to bow his head to admit his mistake with his brother.

Seeing that the two of them were about to start arguing, the generals were stunned, and Ma Xiong could no longer feel any more. Seeing this, Dai Liangchen made an elder look like an elder scolding them, "I don't want to see where this is, do you want to be dragged to beat a military stick?"

After being scolded by Dai Liangchen, Ma Zhongxin and Ma Chengyin's voices suddenly became hoarse, and all the generals also looked at Ma Xiong, whether it was a fight or retreat, or Ma Xiong had the final say.

Ma Xiong glanced at the generals. In addition to Dai Liangchen, those standing here were all his tribe members, his confidants, and the most capable generals under his command. From the eyes of these people, he saw the hot gaze of fighting like his son Chengyin, but also saw the unwillingness to fight in the eyes of his nephew Zhongxin and others. He hesitated again. He was not a yellow-haired child, so why didn’t Zhongxin and the others say that Zhongxin and the others are right? The Ming army’s infantry formation is too powerful. If he really wants to rush again, the losses will definitely be too great to accept.

"Ma Sibaba, what do you say?" Ma Xiong's eyes finally fell on the face of an elder in a long robe, a white hat and a big bearded face.

Called "Ma Sibaba", the great scripture master invited by Ma Xiong from Hubei. His name is Ma Minglong. He was born in a prominent Huihui family in Hubei. He studied Chinese and Huihui scriptures with his father since he was a child. At the age of 15, he went to Tongxin City, Ningxia, northwest to study classics from several Huihui scholars. Six years later, he returned to his hometown and studied them carefully. At this time, a Western Huihui scripture master from thousands of miles away arrived in Hubei. Ma Minglong became a teacher and learned the authentic scriptures of Hu Da. Because Ma Minglong was humble and studious, he was able to adopt the strengths of various Huihui schools, and had a high reputation in the minds of the Hui people of the Ming Dynasty.

After Ma Xiong entered Guangxi with King Kong Youde of Dingnan, he always wanted to build the Dahui Hui Temple in Wuzhou and Liuzhou. However, the war continued. The Dahui Hui Temple was never built. It was not until last year that he led his troops to capture Liuzhou. As soon as the Dahui Hui Temple was built, he invited the famous Ma Sibaba to come and teach the scriptures to spread Hu Da's teachings and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

Ma Sibaba asked to go out of the city with the army. Considering that Ma Sibaba would not have any trouble with him, Ma Xiong took him with him. Before the war, he even asked Ma Sibaba to recite scriptures for his return soldiers. This move made the morale of the return soldiers very high. At this moment, the high morale was sluggish due to the failure of the rushing battle.

All the generals respected Ma Sibaba, and they looked at Ma Sibababa after hearing this.

Ma Sibaba moved his long beard and recited the sutra very devoutly. Then he said to them in a very vicissitudes of voice: "The soldiers of the Han people are fierce. I know you don't want to fight hard, but Hu Da once taught you to retreat when you encounter a vicious enemy?"

When the generals heard this, they all flashed with evil light. Ma Zhongxin, Ma Mingyuan and other generals who had said they wanted to avoid the war were even more ashamed. Dai Liangchen sneered in his heart, and he disagreed with Ma Sibaba's words, because in his opinion, these generals and soldiers were actually Han people. They looked like those of Semu people. However, they somehow regarded themselves as Semu people, and looked down on the Han people. Now the Qing Dynasty is in the world. Whether it is Hui people or Han people, they all have to be the main people of Manzhou.
