Chapter 225 There are enemy soldiers in front and chasers in the back

Jia Rong led the army to run all the way. It was not until he was tired that he ordered a rest. He walked into the carriage and saw that Wei Fu was not in good health, and his face was not as pale as before. Jia Rong was relieved and asked the doctor to leave the carriage.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Jia Rong found that a teenager with a tiger's head next to the carriage was constantly looking at himself and couldn't help but be curious and stepped forward.

"Kid, what's your name? How old are you?" Jia Rong asked with what he thought was the most kind smile.

The teenager flashed his eyes and replied, "My name is Ma Chao. I'm ten years old."

Jia Rong was shocked and looked carefully at the teenager named Ma Chao in front of him. He was indeed Xiliang Ma Mengqi. Even if he was only ten years old, the temperament on his body could not be underestimated. There was no doubt that the teenager in front of him would become a powerful general in the future.

It is said that Ma Chao, who has been on the road for so long, should be sleepy, but he is lively.

"Well, it's very good. Practice martial arts well!" Jia Rong stretched out his hand and was ready to touch Ma Chao's head. He also wanted to play a prank. Later, it was said that he had a lot of face and touched Ma Chao's head with his own hands.

Unexpectedly, Ma Chao dodged flexibly and looked at Jia Rong with a cautious face. He didn't look like a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, just like a cunning fox.

Ma Teng, who came from not far away, happened to see this scene and couldn't help scolding, "Superer can't be rude. Why don't you meet General Jia?"

Ma Chao was scolded. He pouted dissatisfiedly and came to Jia Rong and said, "Ma Chao has seen the general!"

Jia Rong smiled, stroked Ma Chao's head and said, "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog son. I see that Ma Chao will definitely become a prestigious general in the future."

Ma Chao was initially very disgusted with Jia Rong touching his head. When he heard Jia Rong's praise, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Ma Teng beside him was also overjoyed.

Looking at Ma Chao's happy expression, Jia Rong said, "Superer must study martial arts with all his heart. In the future, he will become a general on his own side and eliminate the bandits and defend the country."

Ma Chao nodded as if he didn't understand. Jia Rong also realized that he had said too much. No matter how mature he was, what a ten-year-old child could understand.

Ma Teng smiled and said, "Superer, go to your mother's place."

Ma Chao politely said goodbye to Jia Rong and left.

Jia Rong said, "How are the soldiers in the army?"

Ma Teng shook his head and said, "The five hundred soldiers in the humble headquarters are fine, and the rest of their hearts are floating. Dozens of soldiers fled on the way to march." Speaking of this, Ma Teng's face turned red. After all, he brought out the army. The appearance of deserters was the biggest dereliction of duty of the general, and he blamed himself.

Jia Rong nodded and said, "I already know about this. You go and gather all the soldiers. I have something to say."

Ma Teng hugged his fist and left.

In his heart, Jia Rong has regarded Ma Teng as his own. It is enough to rely on the fact that Ma Teng is the lifesaver of the Xiliang Army. What's more, there is still Ma Chao, a future fierce general, who must firmly trap Ma Teng in the chariot of the Xiliang Army.

Looking at the neat Xiliang Army and the crooked Ma Teng soldiers in front of him, Jia Rong had mixed feelings. Once upon a time, the Xiliang Army was also such a team, and then was trained to become an elite soldier step by step.

After Jia Rong coughed and attracted the attention of all the soldiers, he said in a low voice, "Many of you are not willing to follow the army. I understand that."

"If you don't want to stay, stand in the direction of my right hand. If you are willing to stay, you will stay still. I, Jia Rong, promise here that I will never force you." Jia Rong continued.

Ma Teng was shocked when he heard this. Now it is the time when the Xiliang Army is short of troops. More soldiers have more chips. The soldiers he brought, Ma Teng is still very self-asured. Few soldiers are willing to stay on such an escape journey, except for more than 200 soldiers he brought from his hometown.

Seeing that many people showed an moved look, Jia Rong continued, "This is the last chance. I will treat him as a brother if I choose to stay, and I will not be embarrassed if I leave."

"The ugly words are in the front. If you choose to stay but leave secretly, once you find it, there is no mercy!" With a sudden look, Jia Rong said loudly.

More than 500 soldiers of the Xiliang Army did not move, staring at Jia Rong. What they said just now was not attractive to them. They have passed the era of swinging left and right.

A soldier trembled and walked to the direction of Jia Rong's right hand. Under the eyes of the public, his face couldn't help but blush. On the battlefield, deserters are always looked down upon and will never change.

Seeing that nothing had changed, many soldiers summoned up the courage to move to Jia Rong's right hand. Without exception, their faces were all red. As the number of soldiers who chose to leave gradually increased, they raised their drooping heads and regained their look.

For the soldiers who chose to leave, Jia Rong was not embarrassed as promised. He just let them leave their weapons and armor, and then let them leave. As for the grain, not a grain could be taken away. Jia Rong believed that Cheng Qiu, who followed closely, would take in these soldiers.

Jia Rong didn't expect that these soldiers could immediately enter the battlefield after meeting the Wuwei army led by Geng Jian on the way back. If they could weaken the enemy, they would never be soft.

Looking at Ma Teng, who wanted to speak and stopped, Jia Rong advised, "The soldier's heart is not here. Once there is a war, it will only drag down our army, and the infantry's marching speed is slow, no more than the cavalry can travel hundreds of miles a day."

"What's more, our army lacks food and fodder in a hurry. It will only be a burden to leave these people. It's better to let them go." Jia Rong explained.

Ma Teng sighed and stopped talking. He knew that what Jia Rong said was reasonable, but when he saw with his own eyes that his former subordinates chose to leave, he was still a little depressed. For Jia Rong's ability to explain, Ma Teng felt warm, which showed that he had entered Jia Rong's circle and was officially recognized by Jia Rong.

In addition to the captured horses and ownerless horses, Jia Rong and his party were all armed again, and all the weapons in their hands were only good. This was aimed at the soldiers of Ma Teng, and the rest were buried. Maybe they would be of great use in the future.

After the initial discomfort, the infantry led by Ma Teng can also ride on the horse safely. Jia Rong does not require them to fight on the horse like the cavalry without dragging down the speed of the march.

Seeing the excited expression of his soldiers, Ma Teng's unhappiness also dissipated. Under the premise of becoming a cavalry, no one wants to be an infantryman. The power of the cavalry has long penetrated into the hearts of the soldiers. Not only is the gap in marching speed, but also the irreplaceable combat effectiveness on the battlefield.

After seeing the strength of the Xiliang cavalry, Ma Teng has the intention to form a cavalry. Now the most difficult war horse is solved by Jia Rong in a few words. Ma Teng is also born with the idea of doing a big job. Ma Teng is originally a master of horse war, which is not inferior to the Qiang people who grew up on horseback, but Growing up on horseback and the training of cavalry are two different things, just like a person who has a pile of golden mountains but doesn't know how to use it.

Although Jia Rong did not explicitly promise to give the war horses to his side, as long as he is trained, he is still worried that Jia Rong will not add these war horses to his own hands. In the final analysis, the most important problem is how to train these horse infantry. Jiang Yu has become the biggest breakthrough point for Ma Teng. As a cavalry general of the Xiliang Army, how can he Understand the principle of training cavalry.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yu did not hide his selfishness and personally instructed the soldiers of Ma Teng how to control the war horse and how to maintain the movement of the war horse.

Such temporary training is very cruel. One soldier after another fell to the ground from the horse's back, and then tenaciously climbed on the horse's back. There are pursuers. They can't stop to explain carefully at all. Everything can only let the soldiers grope in the constant fall and climb.

After removing the burden, Jia Rong was in a good mood. The speed of the cavalry was not what the infantry in the city could catch up with. Jia Rong was not worried about the Wuwei cavalry to catch up, but thought about how to take revenge. It was not Jia Rong's style to suffer losses. What's more, he lost more than 400 cavalry in the city this time.

Those who attacked themselves at the gate must also be checked, as well as the middle-aged swordsman in white.

Thinking of this, Jia Rong couldn't help scolding. Is Wuwei's Xianlian Pavilion a vegetarian? Such a big movement of the army in the city was not noticed. Jia Rong's idea determined the end of the director of Wuwei Xianlian Pavilion.

"We must find out the matter of Wuwei and find a way to pass the news to Zhang Xiu in Jincheng." Jia Rong said.

Zhang Zhi hugged his fist and answered, "No!"

When it comes to Wu Wei, Zhang Zhi also gritted his teeth. Lone Wolf has never suffered such a big loss since his debut, and Zhang Zhi unfortunately became the leader of the team this time, which is duty-bound.

All the soldiers got on horse and rushed in the direction of Jincheng.

In less than two days, the group encountered the first wave of enemies. On the battlefield, Jia Rong habitually threw out all the scouts. The team without scouts and spies was no different from the blind.

After listening to the return of the scouts, Jia Rong couldn't help frowning. There were more than a thousand enemy soldiers. In the past, Jia Rong would not pay attention to more than a thousand infantry. The key was that the 10,000 soldiers of the Chengqiu Department chased after them like medicine.

"The whole army stops!" Jia Rong ordered.

The messenger quickly conveyed that the Xiliang cavalry's equestrian skills are high, while Ma Teng's infantry is not. The first contact with the war horse's interest has passed, and many soldiers have shown fear. In the past three days, they have also understood that the cavalry is not so easy to do. If you are not careful, you will be suspected of falling off the horse. Such a temporary training effect It is still very significant that all soldiers can keep falling on the fast-running war horse.

It's simple to say that the legs are tight, but in fact it is extremely painful. Imagine that the war horse tells you to run. The friction on the legs alone is a big problem. All the infantry's legs have been worn out, and Ma Teng is still constantly encouraging morale.

Without too many words, Ma Teng just talked about the treatment of Xiliang cavalry and these soldiers, which greatly aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers. Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers. They are soldiers. No one wants their treatment to be worse than others, especially in the future and Xiliang Army. When the cavalry becomes a robe and chats with each other about military salaries, the low treatment will only be looked down upon.
