Chapter 57: Defeating the Qiang Soldiers
"I'm not stupid. Fighting on horseback is not an ordinary pain." Seeing King Di behind him being knocked away by the cavalry, Ma Di couldn't help but sheathed his sword again.
Damn, I just hacked a Qiang general to death, and the force of the shock cracked his jaw open. Now my hand still hurts. If you continue to fight Pinma Su like this, he may not be able to hold the sword steadily, so let's forget it.
Ma Su rode his horse and rushed left and right in the Di people's formation, running wherever there were many people. He just waved the sword, resolutely not trying to cut anyone, and just waited for the group of Di tribesmen to get lucky and stab him down with a shot.
However, Ma Su obviously overestimated the morale of this group of Di people. No matter where he went, the Di soldiers all dropped their weapons and ran away. Then the Qiang and Hu cavalry who followed closely behind Ma Su came to cover up the enemy and scattered them in one fell swoop.
Under the attack from all sides, the Di people, who had not seen blood for more than ten years, suddenly couldn't hold on anymore and collapsed.
Ma Di has basically never been on the battlefield. He has no idea that the biggest threat to the coach is the military formation formed on the opposite side. When the infantry forms a military formation and stabilizes the defense, it is when the commander rushes into formation that the death rate is the highest.
As for the Qiang and Hu barbarians he met in Longyou, let alone military formations, the soldiers could be considered elite if they lined up neatly. As long as they successfully rush into their team and sprint left and right without fear of death, the Qiang and Hu people will immediately scatter in all directions.
At the beginning, Ma Chao used this method to dominate Longyou and make the entire Qiang people in Longyou bow their heads.
Of course, the reason why Ma Chao was able to intimidate Longyou and defeat Cao Wei was also related to his own bravery. But to fight the Qiang and Hu people, you only need to be brave enough. As long as you rush fast enough, the Qiang and Hu people are not a threat.
The most important thing is that the Qiang and Hu tribe following Ma Su have been infected by Ma Su's bravery. With them following Ma Di, he was like a sharp knife on the battlefield, easily tearing the fragile defense of the Di soldiers into pieces.
Ma Su's actions now are almost replicating the way Ma Chao was so powerful in Long You. He always rushes into battle in person every time he fights. The Qiang and Hu cavalry who had surrendered to the Shu Han followed closely and directly tore the opponent's team into pieces.
For a time, the Di people and horses were completely defeated. They were rushed to pieces by the Shu army. Countless people dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
When Ma Su led his soldiers and horses to stab the Di tribe, it represented the complete collapse of the Di tribe. All the Di barbarians completely lost their will to fight and either ran away or knelt down to beg for mercy.
Anyway, I have already kneeled down to the Han people once before, so there is no shame in kneeling down again.
Get used to it.
"That's it?" After rushing all the way through, Ma Su fell silent and took a closer look at himself. Except for a dozen scratches on his armor, he basically had no injuries at all.
He turned around to look at King Di who had been captured, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
"You're such a big and thick guy, you're so loud and talkative, but this is your level?"
I thought I was playing the king's game, and I acted it out, but it turned out that the opponent was a strong-mouthed king.
You can't even beat the actors, do you know how to play?
"Despicable Han Chinese! If you have the ability to fight one another! What kind of hero can you be if you are so despicable and deceitful!"
King Di was still unconvinced after being caught, and kept barking at Ma Su.
"Look at your broken body. If you were to challenge me one-on-one, I would definitely kill you in three rounds!"
"General, what should we do with these Di tribesmen?" Meng Guo asked cautiously, looking at the Di tribe tribes that had collapsed and surrendered.
"What else can we do? Take them all back and give them to me to farm." Ma Di shook his head speechlessly and said straightforwardly.
"And this braggart, take him back to me and give him a good beating!"
"only!"
"Leave two thousand people to guard the prisoners, and the rest will continue chasing with me! We can't let a single Xianling Qiang escape today!"

Ma Di led his soldiers and horses in pursuit for a day and a night, and defeated the obstructions of the Xianling Qiang and Di tribes one after another.
In the end, the Qiang people who tried to escape were overtaken by the Shu army, and they had no choice but to surrender to the Shu army.
In just a few days, the Xianling Qiang tribe was completely defeated. Those who resisted were brutally beaten, and those who escaped were captured.
Even the Di people who came to help were beaten twice and taken back together.
Ma Su's brave momentum and the unstoppable offensive of the Shu army completely suppressed the Xianling Qiang tribe. Not only the Qiang and Hu tribes of the Shu army were conquered by Ma Su, but also these Qiang tribes were shocked by the terror of this Han general.
As a general, he single-handedly led the Shu army to attack in all directions. Everywhere he goes is like a deserted place, and every time he rushes into battle, he is unstoppable.
This is even comparable to Ma Chao back then, and his bravery is still the same as before.
This caused all the Qiang ministers and elders to kneel on the ground in great respect when Ma Su led his troops back. Before Ma Su could put forward any conditions, everyone revealed their family background, fearing that Ma Su would slaughter their tribe if he was unhappy.
Seeing how obedient the Qiang leaders were, as if they dared not disobey anything Ma Su said, Ma Su couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
This battlefield vanguard is a little different from what I imagined. It doesn't seem to be very dangerous.
Could it be that the way I opened it was wrong?
"The general is really a hero!" At this time, Shu Ji came over and complimented Ma Su with great admiration.
"On the battlefield, he takes the lead, commanding troops to come and go like the wind, and his momentum is like breaking bamboo! This is the reincarnation of the mighty general!"
"No, I can't afford it." Ma Su waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want to be Ma Chao's cheating kid.
"In the past, Ma Mengqi's surname was Ma, and now the general's surname is Ma. If Ma Mengqi, the mighty general, can afford it, how can the general not be able to afford it?" Shu Ji's face flushed with excitement, and he turned around and yelled at the soldiers. shouted.
"Brothers, do you think General Ma can be called the mighty general?"
Below, a group of Qiang and Hu soldiers who followed Ma Su for long-distance running today all shouted excitedly.
"General Kamui!"
"General Kamui!"
"General Kamui!"
From this day on, Ma Su inherited the title of Ma Chao and became the new Shenwei General of Longyou. The Qiang and Hu people in Longyou were all frightened when they heard his name, so they called him "the soldiers who came out of Longyou shocked the Qiang and Hu people".
After this battle, all the Xianling Qiang tribes were completely defeated. Ma Su gave them a decent surrender option and showed them the muscles of a Han general.
The most important thing is that Ma Su's actions told them, don't even think about escaping, I can chase you to the end of the world.
So when Ma Su wanted to move them all to the jurisdiction of Longxi County, no one dared to say a word.
As for the Di tribe's population of more than 10,000 people, Ma Di packed up and moved back together in the spirit of coming.
Since then, all the foreign tribes on the border of Longxi County have been brought under the rule. In just a few months, the population of Longyou has increased by 80,000, which has provided sufficient population for Longxi County's farming business.
