"Meet Mr.
Bai and Mr.
Ma."
Li Xuan greeted him with a respectful salute.
"No need."
Ma Quanfu returned the military salute nonchalantly, "Li Xuan, are the Korean troops ready?"
Ma Quanfu has this kind of temperament, he is careless and careless, and he doesn't have the bearing of a general town at all.
"Don't worry, sir.
The Korean army has been waiting for more than a year.
It has been a long time."
Li Xuan bowed slightly and said with a smile.
Since the North Korean army captured these two passes leading to the Tokachi Plain, in addition to building castles here to guard the main roads, they only watch the sun during the day and count the stars at night.
They have enjoyed a lot of the strong winds, a local specialty here.
There is no way to do it.
The order of Ma Zongzhen is to guard the mute, build a castle, and wait for the army to come and conquer Shisheng together.
They had been waiting for more than a year, and half of the soldiers had been replaced.
Finally, the army arrived.
It was not easy.
Li Xuan felt like it was dawn.
"Starting from the day after tomorrow, the Korean army will go to Shisheng with our army to take up the battle, and the defense here will be taken over by the troops."
Ma Quanfu ordered.
"I obey my orders."
Li Xuan was overjoyed.
He had no nostalgia for this big outlet.
In the tent at night, after Bai Shidi and Ma Quanfu had discussed the general affairs, he looked at Ma Quanfu and said, "Quanfu, do you want to leave the army to guard this important road?"
"Why, worry about your own safety."
Ma Quanfu laughed.
Bai Shidi stayed here to connect the army in front of Shisheng and Huadu behind.
After all, it was impossible for the army to carry out supplies and deal with the battle without one person in charge.
"You kid, am I such a coward?"
Bai Shidi glared in a rare moment, "My Lord's order this time is to win ten victories and grab territory for the refugees.
What will happen if something goes wrong."
"How is it going to end?
Look, look at the army under your command that defeated Jiannu in Xuanchuan.
Those are the invincible Jiannu vests.
They are just the children of military households, and my Beihua troops are all good at attacking and defending.
Children of the Liao people.
Well, if you can't even keep your mouth shut, just jump into the sea."
Ma Quanfu said domineeringly.
Uh, Bai Shidi smashed his mouth.
That's true, considering the might of Jinghai's guards, it is unreasonable for Beihua's guards to be silent now that they cannot defend themselves.
On the third day, there were 3,500 combat soldiers, 3,000 Korean troops, and 2,000 ready troops.
Two thousand five hundred ready troops marched eastward across the pass.
Fang Gaoshan, who wanted to make meritorious deeds, sadly prepared thousands of soldiers to guard Mute.
The entire army marched eastward in a mighty manner.

After entering the plains, they were surprised to find that many Anui people had left, leaving behind fields and empty houses.
Ma Quanfu controlled the team to move forward at a speed of forty miles a day.
He did not seek speed, but stability.
He knew that even if they were on the enemy's land now, the enemy knew their actions clearly, while the North China Army did not.
It's because they don't know where the enemy's main force is.
The Japanese and Anui people were indeed aware of the actions of the North Chinese Army.
After all, there are countless Anui eyes watching them at the foothills of the forest, and it is impossible to block the Polu army in these places at night, and they even have to avoid entering.
After all, this is the territory of the local Anui people.
The Matsumae clan's two thousand ashigaru, the Mogami clan's two thousand ashigaru, the Soma clan's and other Mutsu allied forces' 3,000 feudal lords' coalition, and the Anui's coalition's 12,000 troops totaled 19,000 troops stationed in the tribe in Tokachi.
The territories in the central and southern parts of the country were waiting for work to welcome the arrival of the North Chinese Army.
Three days after the 11,000-strong North China Army marched southward, they discovered a problem.
They encountered more and more rivers.
Previously, they were all small river forks, and the horses could operate without any problems.
The next artillery piece is very problematic.
After the artillery crossed the river, Ma Quanfu discovered that their marching speed had reached a turtle speed of more than twenty miles per day.
On the fourth day, they came to the main Tokachi River that ran across the front, and now they could no longer move forward.
They were unable to raise enough ships, and the Anui's retreat south meant that there were not many ships on the Tokachi River at all.
Horses and artillery were unable to move forward.
Especially the artillery must not be able to move forward.
"Sir, it seems that we can only leave the artillery here.
The artillery will not be able to get through at all."
Lu Dengzhou suggested helplessly.
Fortunately, considering that the terrain in the central and southern part of the Tokachi River is not very clear, and it is estimated that the road will not be improved, the North Chinese Army only brought twelve marching guns for this battle, but now it seems that the prediction is still too optimistic.
This gun seems to be unable to move.
"Leave five hundred troops and gunners here to guard the artillery."
Ma Quanfu thought for a moment and then made up his mind.
"Sir, I'm afraid the war horses can't carry them much."
Huang Maolin said awkwardly.
"Sir, there are only dozens of small boats.
If we transport all the war horses, alas, it will not take half a month."
Ma Quanfu calculated around to see the transport capacity, and he gave the helpless order, "Beihua's Qianzong war horses and Ye Bushou's war horses have to be transported over anyway.
The other war horses stay with the artillery and are guarded by a thousand soldiers and gunners." ” Anyway, the other 2,500 soldiers all learned how to ride horses from the ranks, so they were considered mounted infantry, so it was no big deal.
Just think of it as returning to your old profession.
Ma Quanfu was also scratching his head.
It didn't matter.
He had already thrown two thousand soldiers on the road.
Starting from the next day, military orders were issued, and the North Chinese Army still crossed the Tokachi River.
This process took five days, mainly because of the trouble of the war horses.
Some small boats could transport one war horse, and some of the war horses said they could not board the ship.
This Tong Chaos.
At noon on the sixth day, 3,500 soldiers, more than 1,000 horses, 3,000 Korean troops, 2,000 troops and 1,500 troops crossed the river.
Looking in the distance on the other side are a thousand soldiers and a hundred gunners.
The troubles of the North China Army led by Ma Quanfu were the joy of the Anui and Japanese coalition forces.
When the coalition general, Matsu Kanakahiro, and the Anui people heard the news, they were determined and knew that the time was ripe for a decisive battle.
Of course, they could not move yet.

They had to wait for the final blow to arrive.
After marching forward for two more days, Ma Quanfu discovered that more and more Japanese and Anui people were approaching, and he had a good idea that the war would begin in the next few days.
In the evening of that day, Ye Bushou brought hundreds of Anui people from the same tribe.
Their leader said that there was a conflict between the livestock and the leader of the Anui people here. .
Among them was an Anui who had something important to report.
Varanasi led the three Anui leaders into the big tent.
He is now serving as an interpreter for the night team.
In the past few years, under the wings of Akito, the Anui tribes who took refuge have lived a good life.
They have land, fish, and a comfortable life.
It is different from the half-starved and half-fed lives of the past.
The so-called independent tribal life in the past Gone far away.
He is now a staunch advocate and supporter of Akito's rule, and if he were allowed to go back to his old life now, he would probably go crazy.
"Sir, these subordinates are here to bring you."
Varanasi saluted with a military salute.
"Ask them what news they want to tell our army."
Ma Quanfu pointed at these Anui people.
"Sir, they said that ten days ago, the leaders above asked them to send out people to join more than 2,000 soldiers to go to Tokachi.
They did not agree, but two tribes sent hundreds of people to go together."
The three people muttered for a long time and then turned around to report.
Ma Quanfu's eyes narrowed, "Ask them if this is true."
"Sir, what they said is absolutely true.
These people have been on their journey for many days.
They took a detour from the foothills of the west."
Varanasi said respectfully.
"Varanasi," Ma Quanfu could remember the names of several Anuis serving in the army, "your tribe is living comfortably and well now, but if something goes wrong, this good life will be gone."
Yes, you know.”
Varanasi hurriedly bowed in response.
"Can you guess whether they were specially sent by someone, or whether they really like each other."
Ma Quanfu stared at him and asked.
Varanasi hesitated for a long time and said, "According to my subordinates, their surrender is somewhat suspicious.
They should decide their behavior after the war."
"Well, yes, Varanasi, you are very good.
Take them down and let them stay away from the military camp.
Don't get close to the military camp, otherwise they will be killed without mercy."
Ma Quanfu ordered loudly.
Varanasi nodded in relief and accepted the order.
He was just afraid that Mr.
Ma, who was known for his violence, would kill him in anger, but he didn't.
It seemed that Mingren was really kind, completely different from the ferocious and capricious Japanese.
"Sir, although it is possible that the Japanese are deceiving us, if our retreat is cut off, our army will..."
Huang Maolin, who had been silent until now, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Well, what about your suggestion?"
Ma Quanfu looked at Huang Maolin and said.
"Sir, it's better to retreat across the Tokachi River and send the cavalry back quickly to help Mute.
If nothing happens, we can cross the river and fight again."

Huang Maolin said urgently.
"What do you think?"
Ma Quanfu looked at Ludengzhou.
"Your Excellency makes your own decision."
Lu Dengzhou said with a hand.
Ma Quanfu turned around and walked back and forth, faster and faster, and suddenly he stopped.
"Continue to march and capture the Tokachi River."
Ma Quanfu said firmly.
"Sir, are you taking too much of a risk?"
Lu Dengzhou also lost his temper this time.
"Humph, if it was the Japanese who were deceiving me, needless to say, if the Japanese really led their troops to the dumb mouth and captured the dumb mouth, and our army turned around, and the pursuers came from behind, I'm afraid that the North Korean army and the reserve troops would be demoralized.
It will affect the whole army and our army will be defeated."
Ma Quanfu shook his head.
"If the three of us don't say anything, it would be the right way to directly lead the troops in a decisive battle, defeat the enemy, and then return to the army."
"But what if the enemy uses details to spread rumors and destabilize the morale of the army?"
Lu Dengzhou asked.
"Haha, as long as we and the other three don't mess up, our army will not be in big trouble."
Ma Quanfu is still full of confidence in the soldiers under his command.
"What if we defeat the enemy and fall into their hands dumbly?"
Huang Maolin said.
"Hmph, when the time comes, the captured Japanese Anui leaders will be silenced.
If they don't give up their silence, they will be chopped into pieces."
Ma Quanfu said harshly
