Chapter 177: Captured and Fried Flowers Alive (Part 2)
Although Ma Cheng'en also received Ma Fang's "incidental" teachings with Ma Dong, his dedication to meritorious service was more positive than Ma Dong's. In addition, Chao Hua had just planned to chase Ma Dong who retreated with one blow, so
The formation was a little out of sync, so Ma Chengen seized the opportunity and gave up directly attacking the head of the "resistance army" of Chaohua, and instead turned to kill its tail.
Ma Chengen grabbed a loaded Wanli Type 1 lance (a version with a shorter barrel) and quickly rushed into the rear formation. Before entering the formation, he fired a shot and shot down a fried flower with a "bang".
The flower cavalry then put the lance into the holster on the back of the horse, grabbed the leather buckle with his backhand, and then pulled out the saber next to the lance and shouted: "Shoot! Change the knife! Follow me to kill the enemy!"
"
The Ma family's Dabing soldiers under his command belong to the "universal arms", which can be used on both horse and foot (this may be the reason why although the Ma family has the same name as the Li family in Tieling, they have much fewer servants than Li Chengliang), and they are temporarily under his command.
The Gao family cavalry under command was a professional cavalry trained by Ma Fang himself, so the transition between "shooting and changing swords" was very smooth, and soon after a "bang bang bang" it turned into a close combat.
The part of the hand-to-hand encounter was somewhat unexpected by Chaohua Taiji, who was turning around to fight, because the Ming army actually still had some advantages and killed Chaohua's Mongolian cavalry. It was somewhat unable to resist, and the formation was obviously "split".
the meaning of.
This made Chaohua both shocked and angry. What surprised him was that the combat effectiveness of this cavalry brought from Xuanda (his intelligence did not know that there were cavalrymen from the Gao family, and the flag they were flying now was a big flag with the word Ma) was not inferior to that of Li Chengliang.
The Liaodong cavalry were angry because the opponent only had more than a thousand cavalry, and they could not exceed 1,300 cavalry, so they dared to charge into the formation?
Even taking advantage of the chaos to attack his rear formation is absolutely intolerable in his opinion!
Because although he had just temporarily integrated, he had gathered about five thousand cavalry, and the remaining cavalry were also gathering towards him spontaneously. In terms of military strength, Chaohua felt that he did not need to use these thousand cavalry at all.
Many Han cavalry took it seriously.
Chaohua rode up to meet him and shouted: "Young man from the Ma family! You are so ignorant. Why don't you just stay in Xuanfu and enjoy the debauchery? Why do you want to come to Liaodong to die? Very good. I am very hospitable today."
I’ll send you on your way!”
Over there, Ma Cheng'en had just slashed out with his sword and beheaded a cavalryman from the Chaohua Department. After hearing what Chaohua Taiji said, he took the time to glance over and saw Chaohua Taiji, with his eyes spitting fire, holding his saber and riding his horse.
Running over, he felt his blood surge and his fighting spirit soared. He looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, send me on my way? That depends on whether you have such ability!"
He is worthy of being the son of Ma Fu, the most brave general of the Ma family in the past. His performance on the battlefield is very different from that of his third uncle Ma Guike. In Gao Pragmatic's impression, Ma Guike is the kind of calm and calm general who only appears at critical moments.
Suddenly broke out.
But the current Ma Cheng'en is the kind of person who gets excited when he goes into battle and can't calm down without killing someone and turning the world upside down. It's as if he was created in the same mold as Ma Fu back then.
Seeing that something was not going well, the soldiers around Ma Chengen quickly reminded: "Major General, the order from the military constitution is..."
"I know the orders of the military constitution better than you!" Ma Chengen pulled the horse's head coldly, his eyes fixed on Chaohua who was killing him, he suddenly leaned over, slapped the horse's buttocks hard, and pulled the horse's belly into the air.
He tightened his grip and shouted loudly: "The order of the military constitution is nothing more than defeating the fried flowers!"
Before he could finish his words, the war horse under his crotch had already rushed out like an arrow from the string. Seeing this, the soldiers around him couldn't help but groan secretly. But if there was any way to get him back, they had to grit their teeth and hold tightly together.
Followed.
When Chaohua Taiji saw Ma Chengen, he came up to him directly. He was surprised and happy. What surprised him was that this boy was the son of some idiot in the Ma family. Did he not know the heights of the world or did he really have some basis?
Confront yourself?
The good news is that this opportunity is so rare!
Harassment and harassment, what is afraid of is not the attack, but the constant "harassment". Now Ma Chengen directly comes up to fight him head-on. As long as he defeats him, it will be a waste of most of the Ming army's harassment plan - because only the one just now
If a group of cavalry attacks, he can take advantage of the strength of the cavalry to send a partial army to deal with it, while he can first reorganize and concentrate the army that has crossed the river before making any plans.
Moreover, the two groups of cavalry were attacking back and forth without stopping, and the trouble they caused him would definitely be greater than the wave of harassment by one group of cavalry.
So after being surprised and overjoyed, his eyes immediately brightened and he speeded up again to greet Ma Chengen.
There was a trace of blood red in Ma Chengen's eyes, which was a sign that his eyes were bloodshot with excitement, but his mind was not really overwhelmed by the blood. When he was only a hundred steps away from Chao Hua Taiji, he suddenly used his left hand to
He took out a small flag from the other side of the horse's back and raised it high.
The little flag was a royal blue pennant with no words on it.
But the Ma family's elite soldiers behind him quickly saw Ma Chengen's move. Almost no one paused in surprise, and immediately began to consciously and actively approach Ma Chengen, that is, tightening the formation. In Ma Chengen
Gao Jiading, the cavalryman behind Jiada Bing, was stunned for a moment before reacting in the same way.
This triangular blue flag is actually just one of the four flags on Ma Chengen's left horseback. The meaning of the blue flag is very simple, "Follow me closely."
The Gao family's cavalrymen were not informed of the meanings of the "four small flags" of the Ma family's troops until they were placed under the temporary command of Ma Cheng'en shortly before the war. The reason why they were in a daze just now was because they had heard about the blue color before.
The meaning of the small flag is a bit "incompatible" with the current usage - before the war, the Majia soldiers told them that the small blue flag was usually used during a breakout.
The current situation obviously had nothing to do with the breakout, so when they faced the blue flag that Ma Chengen suddenly flashed, they were a little stunned for a moment. They couldn't compare to the obedience of the Ma family's soldiers who faced the flag without any hesitation.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But fortunately, the servants of the Gao family ride without steps and have extremely high requirements for discipline, so although they were stunned for a while, they immediately complied with the instructions.
Now, it's time for Ma Chengen to perform.
At this time, Chaohua Taiji was less than fifty steps away from Ma Chengen. Although he found that something was wrong with the cavalry formation on the opposite side, which was too close, he had no time to think too much and charged forward to kill him.
When there were only thirty steps left, Ma Chengen's face, which seemed almost distorted with excitement, suddenly showed a sarcastic sneer. He pulled the reins with his left hand slightly, turned the horse's head a little, and roared: "
Side attack! Rush through the formation!"
After hearing this, the Majia soldiers raised their right sabers without hesitation. The blade was almost flat and the blade moved forward, and accelerated again.
This time the Gao family's cavalry did not lag behind, and followed the example of the elite soldiers.
Chaohua Taiji originally faced Ma Chengen directly. Unexpectedly, Ma Chengen suddenly turned slightly and ran towards his right side to kill him. He was in a daze for a moment, as if he was preparing to punch with all his strength, but suddenly found his opponent.
It was as if he had dodged in advance, so it was not a matter of him hitting him with this punch or not punching him.
But he was just stunned for a moment, and immediately gritted his teeth, no matter who the enemy in front of him was, he would just kill him!
However, the changes at this time made Chaohua a little unable to adapt, because the enemy cavalry did not have many reaction actions, and almost simply ran sideways with their swords stretched out.
Chaohua Taiji easily swung away the first cavalryman's sword, but a second sword immediately appeared in front of him. He had to swing the sword away again, but then came a third one...
"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Chaohua Taiji didn't even know how many swords he had blocked in succession. He only felt a little pain in his mouth. The horse under his crotch seemed to be struggling in this series of duels, and its speed gradually slowed down.
"Damn it, the kids from the Ma family are taking advantage of the horse's momentum, they are saving their energy!"
Although this tactic was the first time that Chaohua Taiji encountered it, he was a "cavalry specialist" after all, and he still quickly guessed Ma Chengen's intention - to tighten the troops as much as possible and rely on the momentum of the horses instead of the cavalry.
The power of the chop formed a continuous saw-tooth cut, causing the cavalrymen from the Huahua Department to fight with other units to be attacked continuously and closely, and had to resist frantically with one blow after another.
There is no need to think too much about who is more cost-effective, relying on the power of the horse while resisting with his own sword.
This was the reason why Ma Chengen suddenly turned diagonally: he wanted to turn his cavalry into an arc-shaped "sawtooth" and "saw" it in front of the leading cavalry of the Huahua Department.
As for the reason, it is very simple: the cavalry who can follow Chaohua as the first line must be the most elite part. As long as their strength is worn away, or even injured in the tiger's mouth while constantly blocking the sword, they will continue
The effect will be greatly reduced.
