After receiving the strong support of the Qingzhou cavalry, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie really began to give full play to the advantages of their Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and carried all the training items of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the training schedule of the Qingzhou Cavalry.Of course, the two of them absorbed the lessons of the defeat with Cao Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry, changed the shortcomings of the Xiliang iron cavalry, and better played the potential power of the cavalry.Although the training of the whole schedule was twice as tiring and three points as hard as the previous training, none of the Qingzhou cavalry complained, but everyone's eyes flashed with a hot light, which was a look of hope.Ma Xiu and Ma Tie did not invest in the training of Qingzhou cavalry, in fact, there were not many matters, and there were mainly several items, the first of which was to hand over the Xiliang riding skills to everyone first.As far as Ma Tie's words are concerned, cavalry riding a war horse is not just a simple matter of running and charging on horseback, in the face of enemy arrows, you must learn how to dodge and prevent on horseback, and also protect your war horse from damage.Otherwise, as far as cavalry is concerned, the loss of the horse is equivalent to the loss of legs, and the soldiers without their legs have only one end on the battlefield, that is, waiting for death to come.The easiest way to train riding is on bumpy roads, mountain roads, and obstacle courses.At the same time, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie did not forget to let the cavalry refine the art of bow and archery when instructing the horsemen, and during the daily training, they galloped quickly through obstacles and bumpy roads, and divided the troops into two teams.There is a team on the left and right, and the two teams gather at a distance of about 50 to 60 meters, and each training is limited to five miles, and they must snipe each other with bow shooting skills.Of course, the arrows fired by the bow are wrapped in a shroud and painted with paint, and if you hit the body, you will be sniped.In the end, it depends on which team of men and horses reaches the finish line first, not only that, but also which team of men and horses has the most people who reach the finish line, and those who are shot by the arrows covered with paint will not be counted, and they will be counted as killed.The purpose of Ma Xiu and Ma Tie in designing this competition was to allow these Qingzhou cavalrymen to run quickly in the harsh terrain and improve their bow and archery skills in the shortest possible time.Just this kind of training, the two brothers have been letting the Qingzhou cavalry continue for nearly half a year, and now these Qingzhou cavalrymen's riding skills and bow skills have long been different from the past, and even in the face of the superb horsemanship, they can follow closely in the same situation as the war horse, and do not pull down too much.As far as the previous training distance is concerned, after half a year, everyone has increased the speed by a full quarter, greatly shortening the time, don't look at this quarter of the time is nothing, but as cavalrymen, they all deeply understand a truth, the soldiers are fast.Nowadays, these Qingzhou cavalry not only have a great increase in riding skills, but also improve their bow and archery skills several times, most of them can accurately shoot at the target in galloping, and some of them can shoot quickly, and even a few people can do where to shoot accurately.After the completion of the riding and archery training, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie added a new horse combat technique, that is, projection.The original Xiliang Ma family army was not good at shooting with a group bow on horseback, and the original Ma family army used javelin projection in the battle against the enemy, although the javelin projection was not as long as the range of the archers, but the lethality was much greater than that of the archers.Moreover, the maximum power of the javelin projection in a single opponent is only the first throw of the first round, and if you want to carry out the second round, the lethality will be greatly weakened, or time will not allow.However, generally speaking, if you are shot by a bow horse, if you are far away and go against the wind, you may still have a trace of combat power and self-protection, but in the face of the damage of the javelin projection, I am afraid that once you are hit by the javelin, the consequences will be unimaginable.Although the Xiliang Ma army was eventually defeated in the face of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, the initial javelin throw also caused a lot of damage to the tiger and leopard cavalry.It's just that in other sniping and maneuvering, Ma Jiajun suffered.This time, the two brothers Ma Xiu and Ma Tie analyzed the battle against the Ma family and the Cao army, and still decided to integrate the javelin projection technology and randomly equip the bow shooting technique to make up for each other's shortcomings.After more than a year of special training, the original Qingzhou cavalry finally rose a qualitative leap, although after training, the Qingzhou cavalry did not have any battles, and did not have the opportunity to fight with other cavalry to prove their strength.But every cavalry in Qingzhou knows that his strength is soaring, and now he is waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to become famous in one fell swoop.When Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were invited by Fu to participate in the military meeting to conquer Cao Jun's Yanzhou, Qingzhou Cai, as one of the main forces of Qingzhou's soldiers and horses, naturally needed to go to the battlefield.When the 20,000 Qingzhou cavalry heard the preparation meeting of Ma Xiu and Ma Tie brothers, they instantly boiled, and they couldn't wait to defeat the Yanzhou Cao army to verify their strength.When it was learned that Yanzhou had the two main forces of the Cao army, the Qingzhou soldiers and the tiger and leopard cavalry, no one was afraid or timid.This time he went to the front line of the battlefield, Ma Tie, as a riding general, led many Qingzhou horsemen to gallop towards Taishan County, and 10,000 people galloped without a little condensation.The whole team was drawn into a straight line, neat and orderly, like a shadow, and in less than two hours, all the people arrived at the east gate of Taishan County without leaking.When the entire cavalry team appeared under the city gate of Taishan County, even the guards on the city gate could not help but be shocked, and hurriedly closed the city gate, and opened their bows and arrows to defend it."
Whoever comes and why is he near under my city gate, stop quickly, if he takes a step forward, don't blame us for not knowing people with bows and arrows."
Before Matthew could lead someone forward, a man on the city wall opened his mouth and shouted.When Ma Xiu heard this, he stopped the cavalry behind him, and rode forward alone and said to the young general of the city gatehouse: "Don't be nervous about these little brothers, Ma Xiu is the leader of the Qingzhou cavalry battalion in Xiaxi Liang.This time, I came to lead 10,000 Qingzhou cavalry to support Taishan County on the order of Chen Gong's military division, and please open the city gate and let me wait to enter. ”Hearing Ma Xiu's words, the guards on the city wall were all happy, but now it was a critical moment, and everyone did not dare to be careless, and after the surprise, they still said cautiously: "Qingzhou cavalry general Ma Xiu, what token do you have" Ma Xiu couldn't help but take out something from his arms when he heard this, behaved above his head, and said loudly: "This is the Qingzhou cavalry dispatch talisman, which can be handed over to Lu Xun or General Yan Liang for viewing." ”"Okay, the general puts the things in the basket."
With that, the sergeant ordered a basket to be thrown down with a rope, and Matthew handed the talisman to a cavalryman beside him, and asked him to put it in the basket.Immediately, the basket was pulled up, and the city gate guard arched his hand at Ma Xiu after seeing the soldier talisman: "This general, please wait a while, I will go and inform Lord Lu Xun." ”Say it, the whole person left and rode straight to the Taishan County Guard, since Taishan County was occupied by Xuzhou soldiers, the county guard was also fully sealed, temporarily inhabited by Lu Xun, Yan Liang and other important people."
Master of the military division, there is a group of soldiers and horses outside, and the leader of the general claims to be Xiliang Ma Xiu, the current general of the Qingzhou cavalry battalion, and was ordered to take the lead in leading 10,000 Qingzhou iron cavalry to come to support, this is his talisman token."
After the sergeant came to the county guard mansion and directly showed his waist card to the guards outside the door, he smoothly entered the mansion and went straight to Lu Xun's parliament hall."
Oh, my army and horses are coming," Lu Xun and the others were overjoyed when they heard the news, and Lu Xun took the talisman in the other party's hand and said with a smile on his face: "This is our army talisman, everyone come with me to the East City Gate to meet our reinforcements." ”Lu Xun said that he was the first to rush out of the door, and the rest of the people followed.It is not far from the county guard to the east gate, and it is even more convenient to ride a horse.As soon as he arrived at the city gate, Lu Xun first dismounted and climbed the city wall to carefully observe the people and horses under the city, and after confirming that it was the sergeant of the army who had no intention, he immediately said to the gatekeeper: "Hurry up and open the city gate and welcome our soldiers into the city." ”As soon as the city gate opened, Lu Xun took the lead in walking out of the city gate to meet the 10,000 military horses, and said to the leader of the horse: "The general has worked hard, and the soldiers have worked hard." ”Ma Xiu immediately clenched his fists and said with emotion: "The military master must not be like this, we are all soldiers under the command of the lord, and we should fight bloodily for the lord to dominate the world."
This time, Xuzhou General Shi Ning was the vanguard, and he actually captured a state city in one fell swoop in the Yanzhou important land of Cao Jun, which is the first great achievement, and we will use this as a record to kill Cao thief.If you want to say that it is hard, it is also the brothers in Xuzhou who have worked hard. ”Lu Xun couldn't help but look up to the sky and laughed when he heard this: "Haha, the general is really good at talking, okay, everyone follow me into the city." ”Then he personally led the team to lead Matthew and other sergeants into the city.Along the way, in order to save time, or to let Ma Xiu and others understand the current trends in Taishan County as soon as possible, Lu Xun led the way and explained the war situation to him."
General Ma, now the war in the city is like this, our men and horses have been holding on to the city for four or five days, every day the Cao army will carry out a small siege battle, the number is not too much, but the combat effectiveness is getting worse day by day, and the rapid retreat of each attack is also fast.From this, I Lu Xun deduced that the enemy army thought that our defense was insufficient and could not hold on for a long time, so he deliberately used this kind of quick siege battle to dispel the will of our soldiers, and by the way, it also gave those Cao soldiers who surrendered to our army an illusion, and even the people in the city will be affected by it.Once the morale of our soldiers in the city is low, or those Cao soldiers who surrendered are in rebellion, it is the time for those Cao troops to attack. ”After Lu Xun finished speaking, he looked at Matthew with a serious face.After hearing Lu Xun's words, Ma Xiu's heart had some understanding of the situation in Taishan County at this moment, but fortunately he came in time, although it was only an increase of 10,000 horses, but it gave great encouragement to the soldiers and people in the city for the first time.Matthew immediately said: "Sergeant, there are 10,000 strong troops behind us who will arrive at the city gate tonight, and another 30,000 soldiers and horses are estimated to arrive at the city gate early tomorrow morning. ”:
