Ma Xiaoquan chuckled and said: "Don't worry about this, we will solve the battle in one day~! By the way, what did your chamber of commerce pay me? Is there anything I can use?"
A soldier presented a list, Ma Xiaoquan took it over and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, these things are all used for fighting. It seems that you can gain a foothold among the tribes in Hongzhou, and you do have two brushes."
~Forget it, I will accept these things. In addition, you should have brought a lot. Well, some of my brothers are a bit short on weapons, so I will borrow some from you first~"
"Borrow..." Upon hearing this, the old merchant smiled bitterly and said, "In these troubled times, can I borrow it and pay it back?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I'll take down the Bone Clan and give it to you at my fingertips. You can take away everything in it, as long as I don't like it~"
"Is this true?"
"Of course I take it seriously. Of course, I don't know what the Bone Clan has. For the sake of fairness, when I win, I will blindfold myself and strike with my knife. Wherever it hits, you can take whatever is there~"
The old merchant looked very calm on the surface, but actually his heart was beginning to stir. Although the Bone Clan was not a big tribe, and it was not as big as the Leng Clan, the Qian Clan, and the Tata Clan, a tribe that had been in Hongzhou for so long still had some foundation after all.
"Okay~" the old merchant responded coldly.
...
After the old merchant left, Zhang Youcai said: "Your Majesty, if we really take over the Bone Clan, there will be a lot of supplies in the land. How can you just..."
Ma Xiaoquan slapped his mouth: "Who said I was going to give him the best place? Go find Vals and ask him which is the poorest among the Bone Clan~"
Zhang Youcai smiled bitterly and said: "But the Crown Prince just said that you have to blindfold yourself and throw a knife at a picture. Your eyes are blindfolded. If you hit a wealthy area, wouldn't we..."
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled: "I won't do anything that I'm not sure about if I'm talented~ Don't worry~"
Hearing the words of the Crown Prince, Zhang Youcai nodded heavily. He trusted and admired the Crown Prince more than anyone else.
...
The next day, Ma Xiaoquan led the main force of the coalition army towards the Bone Tribe camp.
Along the way, spies kept coming to report on the happenings around the Bone Clan camp, and Ma Xiaoquan would frown every time.
"It's strange. Isn't there anyone available in the Bone Tribe camp? Why are the rewards for exploring horses so insignificant?" After talking to himself for a moment, Ma Xiaoquan raised his head and said, "Go and call me the bones."
Come."
...
Gu Lai took some secret letters from Ma Xiaoquan, looked at them briefly, and frowned.
Ma Xiaoquan asked: "Gu Lai, you are from the Bone Clan. What do you think of what the Bone Clan is saying now..."
Gu Lai was also crying and laughing in his heart. Although he was from the Bone Clan, he left the Bone Clan with his mother when he was very young and went to the Black Qing Country. Later he joined the Tianji Hall of the Black Qing Country. The year before last, he returned because of a mission
The Bone Clan, in view of his status as the most noble noble of the Bone Clan, the Bone Clan treats him well, but they are always on guard against him.
"Hmm~" Gu Lai dragged his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "The movement of the Bone Clan is unknown. There are two possibilities. One is that they are secretly preparing to surprise us when we arrive; the other is that they
It’s very possible that they’re going to bring in reinforcements.”
"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan also thought for a moment with his chin drawn, and then asked, "By secretly preparing, does it mean that the Bone Clan may not fight a head-on battle with us?"
"Yes~" Gu Lai nodded, "Hongzhou's terrain is complex, and the most suitable one is a storm attack."
"Strike battle? I would like to fight, but our numbers are obviously insufficient..."
Gu Lai smiled slightly and said: "A raid does not necessarily require a large number of people, the key is to take them by surprise and attack them unprepared!"
When Gu Lai reminded him, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly understood. He patted his head and said, "Yes, why did I forget this? There are big raids and small raids~"
After speaking, Ma Xiaoquan hurriedly called several commanders to him and ordered: "Select for me all the most elite, most capable and least afraid of death people in your respective armies!"
Several commanders looked at each other, but they quickly called all the elites in their troops.
Looking at the team of less than a hundred people standing in front of him, Ma Xiaoquan frowned.
Even though he understands that there are many ways to fight a surprise attack, and he also understands what Gu Lai just proposed, there are less than a hundred people...it is really impossible to allocate them.
"Hmm~~" Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin, thought for a moment, and then asked: "You guys, I will give you a chance. The next task is almost a narrow escape mission. If you are hesitant, afraid, or still want to
If you live a little longer, you can choose to quit. I won’t force you, and I won’t blame you either~”
After saying that, Ma Xiaoquan closed his eyes.
About a hundred people looked at each other and then stood at attention neatly.
Ma Xiaoquan was startled by the sound of them standing at attention. When he opened his eyes, he saw that no one chose to quit.
"You..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Isn't it clear what I just said? The next mission is a mission of nine or even ten deaths. There will be no consequences for your withdrawal.
Punishment, and no one will look down on you..."
Despite Ma Xiaoquan's repeated explanations, not one of the nearly 100 people in front of him quit.
"Crash!" The commanders of several troops took off their armor and walked neatly into the queue.
"You guys... why don't you guys..."
One of the commanders said: "Boss, don't say anything. We were picked by the boss. Our people follow the boss. How can we not go?"
Ma Xiaoquan sighed: "Well, in fact, you have already had this plan, right?"
The other commander chuckled: "Boss, following you these days, we can probably guess what you are thinking. If we people die, there will still be people to take over. But if the Bone Clan camp is captured, our remaining brothers
Aren’t they all alive?”
Ma Xiaoquan nodded heavily, then stood up straight and gave them all a standard military salute.
Ma Xiaoquan has popularized the military salute to everyone, and these days, everyone is used to the military salute.
More than a hundred people in front of Ma Xiaofang responded to him neatly.
...
Not far away, Palace Master Ting sighed softly, and beside her stood Liang Qianyue.
"You just watch him go to war again?" Liang Qianyue teased.
Palace Master Ting laughed and shook her head: "Otherwise, I can't stop him. Besides, he can't die~"
Liang Qianyue did not ask why Palace Master Ting Ma Xiaoquan could not die. In her opinion, Ma Xiaoquan indeed could not die. Although she did not know what abilities Ma Xiaoquan had, or how much ability she had, from the eyes of Palace Master Ting, she could
It can be seen that Palace Master Ting has trust and admiration for Ma Xiaoquan.
"Do you want me to go take a look?" Liang Qianyue raised the corner of her mouth.
"This is up to you~"
Liang Qianyue chuckled, turned and left.
...
After briefly deploying the battle strategy with several commanders, Ma Xiaoquan divided more than a hundred people into four teams, one team of infantry, one team of cavalry, one team of firecrackers and crossbows, and one team of siege troops. After the distribution was completed, they were staggered forward and backward.
Head to the Bone Tribe camp within a certain time.
The cavalry was the fastest, but Ma Xiaoquan placed the cavalry at the end, while the infantry and firecrackers assisted the siege troops in carrying siege weapons.
...
The terrain around the Bone Tribe's headquarters is flat and there is no cover. If you launch a rash attack, you will lose more than you gain. However, there is an advantage: you can spread out your troops to attack.
So Ma Xiaoquan planned to carry out long-range strikes first.
After giving the order, the siege soldiers quickly began to set up thunder chariots.
The old businessman got dozens of Thunderbolt Cars from there before. Compared with the usual Thunderbolt Cars, they are much smaller in size. However, after the old guy introduced it, the power of this thing is no worse than the Big Thunderbolt Car. More importantly,
Yes, this thing only requires two operators, and the displacement is very convenient. You can even hit while walking. Of course, if you really have to hit while walking, the accuracy will be much worse.
Ma Xiaoquan did not adopt it directly, but on the way here he ordered the siege army to improve the Thunderbolt Chariot. Due to time constraints, the siege army mainly improved the range. As for whether it could strike accurately, it didn't matter.
...
On the city wall of the Bone Tribe camp, the defenders also saw all of Ma Xiao's siege weapons.
Since this was the first time they saw such small ordnance, they didn't pay much attention to it. In addition, there were so few people from the coalition army coming to attack the city. The defenders of the city wall judged that this was just a small advance march to test.
"Be careful, don't be distracted~ keep an eye on them~" the guard ordered as usual, and then hurriedly got off the city wall.
...
Not far outside the city wall, Ma Xiaoquan visually measured the effective distance of the siege. While doing so, he ordered the siege soldiers to make careful movements.
"Okay~" Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand to stop, then raised his head and said, "Those grandsons underestimated our mini Thunderbolt car~ Come on, little ones, serve me the thunder-fire eggs, let them eat them deliciously, and serve them
They’re full!”
"Okay~" The siege soldiers laughed and quickly loaded the thunder and fire bombs into the thunderbolt cart pole.
"Get ready~" Ma Xiaoquan stretched out his hand, took a look, and then quickly pressed his hand down: "Feed me~ feed me hard, until I'm full!"
As soon as the order was given, the boom of the Thunderbolt Car was like a spring, pushing out the Thunderbolt Bomb with a bang.
...
The thunder and fire bombs flying in the air were like small dark stars, attacking towards the wall of the Bone Tribe camp.
On the city wall, the Bone Tribe soldiers guarding the city were obviously unaware of the imminent danger. Even though they were watching according to the guard's instructions, the dark things in the air looked like small stones. Take something,
