It was amazing for a woman to train an army, and it was incredible for Ma Wei that a woman could train an elite army that was good at fighting.
He could not let go of such an interesting thing.
After thinking about his countermeasures, Ma Wei said, "Can't I persuade them? Since they have such an elite army, it can be seen that they are not ordinary people. If they insist on being enemies with me, I am afraid it will not be good. "
Liu Gu shook his head regretfully.
"Ma Qiancheng is the descendant of Ma Yuan, the General of Han Fubo. He talks about loyalty and filial piety, and he is not low-spirited. I see that his army is good at fighting, so I give him some face and don't argue with him. But he actually came to block the way!
Since he is here, the main force of the white army is also here. If I am not wrong, Ma Qinshi is also here. I heard that Ma Qinshi often goes to war with the army to give advice to Ma Qiancheng, and even leads an army alone. She is quite a good wife. It will not be easy to deal with the husband and wife together. "
These words made Ma Wei even more interested.
"General Liu, to tell you the truth, I am quite interested."
A smile appeared on Ma Wei's face. "It's all thanks to General's might that there wasn't a single troop that dared to fight. Now that there is finally one, I really want to have a fight. I want to see who is stronger, the white stick soldiers or my Southern Battlefront Army."
Being flattered a little, Liu Gu felt a little comfortable in his heart. The feeling of losing face just now also vanished. He immediately laughed and said, "Since General Ma is interested, let's go and have a look. General Xiao's training skills are unparalleled. Among the elites of the Southern Battlefront Army, ordinary soldiers are still a little insufficient."
Ma Wei smiled and said, "Since ancient times, marching and fighting in wars have always been men's business. It's rare for a woman to go to the battlefield. But if you think about it carefully, even with her husband's support, this woman can make thousands of men willingly obey her orders. How amazing is this woman!"
Liu Gu thought so.
"That's true. If this woman is really powerful, then she's really powerful. She can control a group of men in the palm of her hand. I have to admit that if it weren't for my elite troops, we might not be able to gain the upper hand against this woman. We should be careful."
"Very good!"
Ma Wei laughed and led his troops to march with Liu Gu. After about an hour, they encountered the defeated vanguard army.
Liu Gu's face was frosty.
"Useless trash! He actually lost to a woman! "
The Vanguard General lowered his head and half-knelt on the ground, his face full of humiliation.
"General, please give I another chance. I will personally wash away this humiliation!"
"Enough, don't embarrass yourself anymore. Go down! I'm going to personally meet the white pole soldiers! "
Liu Gu held the machete that made him famous and was ready to show off his fame as "Big Blade Liu".
Ma Wei ordered the gunmen and shield bearers under his command to prepare for battle. At the same time, he ordered the gunmen to prepare for battle as well. He ordered the cannoneers to push the portable Fran cannon and follow closely behind the army.
If the losses were too great, it would be better to use firearms to solve the problem. Right now, they weren't looking for opponents to train their strength. Instead, they needed to take down Chengdu as soon as possible and end the resistance in Sichuan. Then, they would march into Hanzhong, eyeing Guanzhong like a tiger, and complete the mission that Xiao Ruxun had given them.
Ma Wei knew which was more important and which was more important.
So, Ma Wei called out to the dejected Vanguard General.
"Wait, tell me, how did the white pole soldiers fight, and how were you defeated?"
The Vanguard General looked at Ma Wei, then at Liu Gu.
"Answer General Ma's questions!"
Liu Gu shouted.
"Yes!"
The Vanguard General immediately said, "The white pole soldiers were very cunning. They first used crossbows and muskets to attack us from afar. When we finally got close, they sent the real white pole soldiers to fight in formation. They were very powerful, and I wasn't prepared in time, so …"
"Muskets? That group of people even used muskets? "
Ma Wei was very curious.
There were actually people in Sichuan who used firearms and cold weapons together?
The Vanguard General nodded, "Yes!"
Liu Gu also said, "That's true. I've seen them practice. They do use crossbows and muskets to attack first, and then send the white pole soldiers to fight in formation. Unlike General Xiao, General Xiao prefers to use firearms, so the gunners and gunners fight together. The white pole soldiers, on the other hand, have the gunners shoot a few times and then retreat from the battlefield, leaving it to the gunners to fight."
"Do they use cannons?"
"I haven't seen any."
The Vanguard General replied.
Ma Wei nodded.
"They really can't be underestimated. They even use firearms, and they even know how to fight in turn. Was this all trained by that Madam Maqin?"
Liu Gu nodded, "That's what I heard. That's why I said that Madam Maqin is not easy to deal with. Not only is she good at training soldiers, but she's also smart. She's also very tall as a woman. From what I see, she's about six feet tall, and she can hit a lance on a horse."
Ma Wei was shocked.
"Six feet? A woman is six feet tall? "
Ma Wei couldn't help but start to picture Madam Qin's fierce, burly, and stocky appearance in his mind.
Then he couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder she can intimidate men. With that kind of appearance … her husband … is quite special."
Liu Gu seemed to know what Ma Wei was thinking.
"General Ma, don't misunderstand. Madam Maqin's appearance is quite good. Not to mention her six feet tall height, when she puts on her armor and commands the soldiers, she really has the feeling of a heroine."
"Is that so …"
Ma Wei swallowed a mouthful of saliva. In his mind, he sketched out the extremely contradictory appearance of a Jiangnan woman's tender face paired with a burly man's back and waist.
After a while, the vanguard of the army came to report that they had encountered the white pole soldiers five miles ahead. They had already lined up and were waiting.
Ma Wei and Liu Gu looked at each other and nodded together.
"Let me lead the troops to meet the white pole soldiers in this battle!"
"Okay!"
Liu Gu didn't insist on going himself. To be honest, he also wanted to see whether the Zhennan Army was stronger, or the white pole soldiers.
Ma Wei immediately selected a group of about three thousand men. Under the protection of Liu Gu as Ma Wei's personal guards, he led the army forward. When they saw the white pole soldiers' formation, the two armies faced each other two miles apart.
When Ma Wei saw the white pole soldiers with his own eyes, he couldn't help but agree with the neat formation of the white pole soldiers. When the army fought on the battlefield, it was necessary to look at the formation. If the formation was not perfect, the fighting power of the army would be greatly weakened. Only with a neat formation and strict discipline could the fighting power of the army be exerted.
"As expected of a strong army. Their formation is very good. If they had such a formation, they would be able to fight with me."
Ma Wei was not stingy with his praise for the white pole soldiers.
Liu Gu rolled his eyes.
You are here to fight, not to praise the enemy, okay?
While Ma Wei was still watching the white pole soldiers' formation, the white pole soldiers' formation made a gap, and a knight ran over.
What was he going to say?
Ma Wei was a little curious.
