Why did Ma Chengxun appear here? Shouldn't he have rushed to join Qia Taiji as soon as possible to ensure that he could hold off Tumen and buy time for Han Naji's troops, and then fight with Ba Han Naji, Tuotuo and other troops?
Are the Tumen who surrounded Zhasak Tumen sweating profusely? Why did they actually cross the main force of the Tumen tribe and come to the west now?
Because this guy is a cavalryman, and he is one of Ma Fang's direct disciples, so his use of cavalry has some of Ma Fang's characteristics.
What's the biggest feature of Ma Fang's cavalry? Dare to fight.
In addition to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, there is another key factor that supports the "dare to fight" style, which is how far the scouting horse can be sent.
The farther the exploration horse is sent, the more it means that it has a wider range of battlefield information. Under this condition, it is possible to use troops more flexibly.
The detective horses under Ma Chengxun were originally looking for the specific locations of Tumen and Qataiji. They accomplished this task perfectly. At the same time, they also brought a message to Ma Chengxun: the remnant of Xin Ai suddenly left Tumen.
Khan separated himself from the main force and headed westward.
Ma Chengxun, who is not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, immediately realized that the opportunity had come!
If it were Xin Aibu who was originally fully capable, although Ma Chengxun could not be said to be afraid, he would definitely be cautious and not dare to take advantage of him easily.
But according to the previous battle report, Xin Ai's remnant army now has 12,300 cavalry. He, Ma Chengxun, now has twice Xin Ai's strength. Moreover, the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, fully occupying the advantage and initiative. If
Even if he didn't seize such an opportunity, he still had the nerve to say that he was a disciple of Malan Xi?
Ma Fang’s teaching: Cavalry must take the initiative and attack proactively!
Ma Chengxun decisively ordered to cross Tumen without alerting him, and pursue Xin Ai first - no matter what he was going to do!
The unlucky guy Ma Chengxun in the original history did not know that this decision changed his fate, because this battle became a key battle in the entire Monan War, and his encounter with the Zhang family and his son and Xin Ai
Together they are called the "Battle of Laohugou".
And because the Battle of Monan was a series of battles planned by Gao Jingshi, the generals who participated in this battle, regardless of whether they were clear or ignorant, were all labeled with the word "Gao" in the end.
Under the current situation, people who are high-minded and pragmatic still need a little courage.
Ma Chengxun's 20,000 fine cavalry appeared here. The biggest effect was not to completely annihilate Xin Ai's tribe, nor even to truly defeat them. However, Xin Ai, who had just suffered a major setback, knew it was over when he saw Ma Chengxun's appearance. Not only did he fight for Tumo
The special rule is over, and even Tumen Khan is likely to be over.
Xin Ai, who was extremely tired after being hit repeatedly, finally suffered a mental breakdown and chose not to resist.
The biggest victory of Jialong Wansan Dynasty so far came so "easily"!
However, Ma Chengxun and Zhang Bingzhong are not done yet. After all, there is a lone army escorting cattle and sheep a little further west waiting for them to rob... Oh no, it is an encirclement and annihilation. But this battle is no longer worth describing in detail.
, the only requirement for them under the current situation is nothing more than two words: as soon as possible.
After all, there is still the most critical battle waiting for them, especially Ma Chengxun's department has the important task of blocking the North Road.
One day later, the main force of Dachengtai Kyrgyzstan from Tumote West Post arrived at Laohugou. Ma Chengxun and Zhang Bingzhong and his son trotted forward to greet them with great joy.
Of course, if Han Naji was the only one who came, they would definitely not have this attitude. The reason why they came up to him in such a hurry was because he was the concubine of Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shi Mansion and Hanlin, who was appointed as the plenipotentiary envoy of King Shunyi.
The high-ranking minister of the college, Gao Xiangpang, has arrived.
High Attendant will definitely be the person who will join the cabinet and worship the Prime Minister in the future!
This is something that even the most obtuse person can see now. Of course Ma Chengxun and Zhang Bingzhong and his son cannot fail to see this.
Why? Even they got such great credit, capturing more than 10,000 Mongolian elites in one fell swoop. As the chief planner of the entire Monan War, what kind of credit should Gao Pragmatic have by then?
You know, he is a civil servant, and the closest civil servant to His Majesty the Emperor!
Besides, there is still a final battle that is about to start. If Gao Shizhong suddenly transfers him away at this time and misses this battle, won't he regret it for the rest of his life?
At this time, naturally, I would like to fawn over him as much as I can. Looking at Gao Pragmatic's eyes is probably more cordial than looking at his own father!
"My lord, General Ma Chengxun, who is guarding the Dushima camp on the North Road of Xuanfu, respectfully greets you! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Holy greetings, General Ma, please rise."
"My lord, I am guarding the Xuanfu South Road Shunsheng Weiguang, General Zhang Bingzhong; I am guarding Zhenchuan Fort Zhang Wanbang... I respectfully greet you! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Holy greetings, General Zhang, please rise."
After going through the process, Gao smiled at them with a pragmatic attitude and said gently: "The three of you have made great achievements this time. Your Majesty has an envoy there to describe your achievements in detail for you. Don't worry."
"Thank you so much for your care, I'm so grateful." The three of them said in unison, not even calling them "junior generals," but simply "little".
This is a bit harsh. After all, when writing a letter, you call yourself a junior, a lackey, and so on. It is a sign of self-effacement, but usually it is not the case in person. It is usually either a "low general", a "junior general", or a "lower position".
If you say "small" right away, you are treating yourself as a servant.
If Gao Jingshi was already the supreme leader of the Pavilion, it would be reasonable for them to claim to be junior in rank. However, theoretically speaking, Gao Jingshi was still far away from the Pavilion Elder.
Of course, the scale of this battle in Monan was huge, and the result... It seemed that it would probably be huge at the moment. They were shocked and did not dare to be disrespectful to his high pragmatism, which was understandable.
After all, this time, no one’s contribution can be greater than his!
"You three are very polite." The pragmatic civil servants put on the air here and would not force themselves to be humble. They said with a little humility and said: "Do you have a grasp of the situation in the Tumen Department? Can Qiatarji withstand it?
?"
The Zhang family and his son could not answer this question, so Ma Chengxun quickly said: "Don't worry, sir, the result of the last investigation last night was that Tumen Khan failed to repel Qataiji, and both sides set up camps for a confrontation... But today's news is temporary
I haven’t received it yet, so I don’t know if there are any new changes.”
Gao Pragmatic nodded and did not answer anything immediately. Instead, he sketched the situation in his mind to see if there was anything missing.
Bahan Naji, who was beside him, laughed and said: "Uncle Toto is such a great general. Tumen wants to defeat him in one day, but that is a dream."
Gao pragmatically nodded. He also believed that Chaterji had such an ability. However, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and sometimes a small unexpected incident might cause qualitative changes, so he still said: "Having said that, we can't let Chaterji."
Faced with the pressure of Tumen alone, we still have to rush there as soon as possible and implement the next plan."
Han Naji smiled and said: "What the imperial envoy said is absolutely true, and I mean the same thing."
However, there is an episode here. Ma Chengxun clasped his fists and said: "After Xin Ai was captured, he always expressed his desire to see the servant..."
After listening to Han Naji, he became interested and asked: "Where is he now?"
Unexpectedly, Ma Chengxun did not give much face to Han Naji, the Dachengtaiji who was about to become Tumote Chechen Khan. After hearing this, he did not answer immediately, but looked at Gao Pragmatic.
Gao pragmatic smiled and waved his hand to indicate to him.
Ma Chengxun then said: "Xin Ai will be placed next to our central army camp, and will be guarded by his own soldiers."
That was to be guarded by the Majia soldiers. Gao pragmatically nodded and stopped Han Naji's imminent move with one sentence: "You will continue to guard him. I don't plan to see him for the time being. You tell him that there are plenty of opportunities to see me.
But now we have to wait, after Tumen is defeated, my envoy will send someone to invite him to meet."
Han Naji originally wanted to show off in front of Xin Ai, but Gao Pragmatic said so, and he did not dare to go against it. He had to change the topic and asked: "Since the imperial envoy does not plan to see him for the time being, what should we do now?
Are you rushing to Birch Ridge?"
Gao pragmatic nodded: "Yes, let's go now."
