The corner of Ma Jinbiao's mouth raised proudly. Over the years, he had made a lot of money by swinging left and right.
Kunlun Pass was originally the gateway to Yongzhou, and it was the last line of defense for Yongzhou. Once Kunlun Pass was broken, Yongzhou would be undefended.
This route is an important passage for many businessmen to and from Yongzhou. In the past years of chaos in Guangnan, the public security situation has been deteriorating. Even the government cannot protect itself, let alone protect the personal safety of private businessmen.
Such an environment is the happiest thing for the heroes of the mountains and forests. Guangnan thieves like Ma Jin, Biao Houtong and others rose to prominence at this time!
Ma Jinbiao is undoubtedly the hero among this kind of people, and he is also the most ambitious one.
He looked at the Song Dynasty Imperial Army who was gradually in a weak position, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise even higher.
Between the Song Dynasty and the Southern Dynasty, he did not hesitate to choose the more promising young man Nong Zhigao!
The biggest support he relies on is the three hundred fine cavalry. If these three hundred cavalry join the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, they will not even make a splash, but if they join Nong Zhigao's camp, That would be different!
He can be regarded as a guest of honor. Nong Zhigao regards him as his right-hand man. Coupled with his relationship in Kunlun Pass for so many years, he was directly promoted to guard Nong Zhigao. An important member of the family!
He was originally a bandit, and he lived a life of speculation and bloodshed. He might be killed by the court one day. Gambling is deeply ingrained in their bones. The more aggressive the bet, the bigger the bet, and the greater the reward. considerable!
In Ma Jinbiao's eyes, he had never seen what kind of officers and soldiers. In the past, countless officers and soldiers came to destroy their stronghold, but they were all defeated by him and returned in defeat. Ma Jinbiao's glorious moment was taking advantage of the chaos to capture Hengshan Village. This battle made him shine in the bandit circle of Guangshan. His status in the world rose sharply, and he became the number one leader in the green forest, more powerful than Hou Tong, the great bandit in Guanzhou. And to be famous!
Ma Jinbiao has never seen what a forbidden army is. In his eyes, the officers and soldiers are just like birds. They can only brag and gamble. They can bully the common people, but they are not good at fighting!
So he didn't take these southern troops seriously. When he saw that Di Qing had sent the main force, he also sent his own troops. Nong Zhigao had promised him that if he was willing to help him, he would be granted the title of marquis or prime minister in the future. Down!
There were think tanks like Huang Shimi in Nong Zhigao's team, but as the war progressed, he found that he still lacked a few capable generals. The troops were all working in their own way, and there was no outstanding general to take charge of the overall situation and obtain the best results. Ma Jinbing and Nong Zhigao immediately felt like they were even more powerful!
Those who don’t know are fearless. This group of people actually fought back and forth with the Forbidden Army!
The Forbidden Army lost due to momentum!
All their momentum stayed in Dateng Gorge! Even the Forbidden Army had a shadow in that battle. If Di Qing hadn't used some means to restore everyone's morale a little, otherwise it would have been even worse in front of Kunlun Pass this year!
Ma Jinbiao's men and Di Qing's troops began to fight. Both groups were full of momentum at first.
The children of Guanzhong are all good at fighting against the enemy. They have never had an advantage when facing the Dangxiang people, but their style has always been to resist till the end. After leaving the northwest battlefield, most of the enemies they encountered were not as good as these nomads. The people of Guangnan are fierce and small, so the Guanzhong soldiers are not afraid of them.
These surviving Guanzhong
Soldiers, who have not climbed out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood after many battles, death is their way back. The brothers who came out of seclusion together when they looked up could only see a vast expanse, and not many of them were alive! Death is not a fear to them, and no one is afraid of death!
Ma Jinbiao thought that his people could quickly deal with this group of cavalry, and then take away their horses to expand his own strength. However, he suddenly discovered that these people who were also riding Yunnan horses had an inexplicable influence. So fierce!
He only thought they were temporarily recruited troops. As far as he knew, the imperial army of the Song Dynasty also had cavalry, and their mounts were all northern horses. The horses in the north were tall and majestic, and the people in the imperial army looked down upon the short Yunnan horses in the south. Horses, because they feel that such a short horse is as small as a dwarf in battle and has no advantage!
It was this kind of underestimation that caused Hou Tong to make wrong judgments on the battlefield.
!
Hou Tong's men fought back and forth and lost more than a dozen men and horses. The men on the horses were torn off their horses, and only the horses were left alone on the battlefield waiting for their owners. .
Another round trip, dozens more horses, Ma Jinjiao almost cried, his 300 men and horses were just for containment, when did it become a battlefield? The main force!
If the fight continues, his three hundred main force will be gone!
Di Qing looked at the changes on the field and was not too surprised!
When he joined the Southern Army, it was true that he was recommended by Pang Ji, but Wu Xin was a person who could not afford to do anything early. He did not do it for Pang Ji's sake, but because Di Qing brought money into the group. superior!
The three hundred Yunnan horse cavalry are Di Qing's greatest asset!
The other few people are all infantry. The cost of cavalry is too high. No one can afford such high expenses if there are too many. It is true that the cavalry has high combat effectiveness, but when the imperial court fights, every move must be clearly calculated. Everyone in Guangnan believed that cavalry combat was not suitable. After comprehensive consideration, Wu Xin was not allocated cavalry troops.
The cavalry troops of the Song Dynasty were all in the hands of Xia Song. How could he give the troops to Zhao Weixian's people to perform meritorious service!
Di Qing's soldiers were a bit like family soldiers, and they were not many in number. They were just a guard at most, so the court naturally didn't care too much about it. Whoever fights without a few of his own men would definitely die quickly on the battlefield!
The shrewdest one is Ma Jinbiao, who is unscrupulous and ambitious. Without the three hundred cavalry, he is nothing under Nong Zhigao. How can he still have a sense of existence!
"Master Chieftain, if you haven't sent out all your strength yet, when will you wait?"
Ma Jinbiao wished he could eat Nong Zhigao. He never expected that these forbidden troops, with only 10,000 people, could withstand Nong Zhigao's troops and even hold back his cavalry troops!
When Nong Zhigao saw it, he immediately asked Huang Shimi to send more troops from inside the pass!
There can be no delay any longer. Nong Zhigao is sure that Di Qing has no trump card. He relies on the hundreds of cavalry at hand!
That’s it! The time has come!
Nong Zhigao was ready to decide the outcome. There were more than 20,000 people on the field. Facing the imperial army, they began to lose ground. However, the Guangyuan army in the city kept appearing, layer upon layer like a surging wave. The pressure is piling up on the Forbidden Army, and the Forbidden Army will finally be unable to support it!
At this moment, the Forbidden Army suddenly gave up the place in front of them and began to retreat. Nong Zhigao looked at
Overjoyed by the scene in front of him, Ma Jinbing began to let his troops pursue him. Seeing such a scene, Ma Jinbing cautiously asked his troops to gather back and slowly retreated to the city. He had just lost dozens of brothers, which made his heart bleed. He didn't dare to waste a moment, and immediately asked people to grab the Yunnan horses left behind on the field.
These horses are the foundation of his life!
The Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty were very well-educated. Even if they retreated, the square formations and formations would not change at all. They would all retreat to the rear in an orderly manner. This alone made Ma Jinbiao, who had experienced many battles, immediately smell There is a hint of uneasiness!
When escaping, there is always a smell of urine in the air, not this smell of blood. .
Sure enough, when the Song army began to retreat, it was the time when the Guangyuan army got carried away. .
The pursuit formation of the Guangyuan Army began to slowly deform. Some people were slow in pace and weak in physical strength, falling behind, while others rushed forward without fear of death in order to gain credit.
On the grasslands, the most commonly used tactic is to show weakness to the enemy. Nomads rarely engage in head-to-head confrontations. They will use small groups of scattering to provoke the anger of their opponents, etc. When they rushed over, your own people immediately evacuated. Horses are like people, some have fast feet and some have slow feet. When the enemy stretches their formation one after another, the nomads will turn around and annihilate the faster opponents first. .
The Confederate Army opened up a few hundred steps. Although the Guangyuan Army was not wearing armor, it was still pursuing them hard. Many people could only fall behind and watch helplessly. The battlefield suddenly changed dramatically. Turn, change from retreat to advance, and immediately rush over again. During the transition, he was so comfortable. Such a well-trained army can be called
Rare in the world!
The Song Dynasty court spent countless national funds to support these people every year. Although it meant winning by numbers, they also pursued quality!
There are four troops in the Forbidden Army, and each of them is a master who can stand alone. It is undeniable that there is corruption in these Forbidden Forces, but even so, when they beat a few Guangyuan people, it is still just like playing. The quality cannot be acquired in a day or two, nor is it innate, but requires real money. It’s piled up!
As soon as the gun tip was turned, blood flowed into a river!
The Guangyuan soldiers who were originally rushing in front were hit by the U-turning Forbidden Army, and they directly hit the edge of their swords. The Forbidden Army began to slaughter the Guangyuan Army on the field like chopping melons and vegetables.
More and more people fell on the battlefield, and most of them were Guangyuan people. .
"Ma Jinbing, why are you still standing there? Let your men come up!"
Nong Zhigao urged Ma Jinbiao, and Ma Jinbiao's heart was still bleeding. He had been unhappy with Nong Zhigao for a long time, but he was still willing to listen to his orders. He turned his head and pretended not to hear anything!
This scene just caught Di Qing's eyes. Although the two groups were far away, the coach kept watching the situation on the field. Only by paying attention to every detail could he win the victory on the field!
Nong Zhigao almost broke his own teeth. Only then did he realize that these people in the world are ambitious people, and they are not easy to surrender. Well, since they are disobedient, there is no need to stay!
"Send the elephant soldiers, send the war elephants up!"
Nong Zhigao gave an order, and the ground in Kunlun Pass began to shake. War elephants rushed out from Kunlun Pass City, trampling on the ground. At this moment, the earth was wailing under the iron hooves!
