Chapter 48 Fraud to open the city gate
"Brig Commander, I have a safe and secure way to achieve military achievements!" Ma Yuntao thought for a long time and then said.
"Oh? What's the solution?" Ma Qi was overjoyed. He knew that Ma Yuntao was still very talented, otherwise he would not have become one of Ma Haiyan's two most important aides. Of course, Ma Yuntao has always been suppressed by Zhou He, which is one of the main reasons why Ma Yuntao was dissatisfied with Ma Haiyan. Although he was also an aide, he often tried to attack Zhou He. However, Ma Yuntao had a high opinion of himself and believed that his talent was not worse than Zhou He. It was just because Zhou He and Ma Haiyan had a good personal relationship, so he kept suppressing him. Now, he finally had the opportunity to show his talent.
"It's only more than two hours before dark. We can send some people to pretend to be defeated soldiers and sneak into Yushu City. Once we enter the city, we will seize the city gate with all our might. At the same time, the rest of the troops will immediately attack the city. If we can take down Yushu City in the chaos, it will be the best. If it doesn't work, we must also make every effort to ensure that the city gate is in our hands. At that time, once the 10th Brigade arrives, we can immediately attack the city. We are also a great achievement!" Ma Yuntao suggested.
"Okay, just use this method! Lao Bai, it's better for you to carry out this task? After success, I will ask the Young Marshal and the Chief of Staff for you!" Ma Qi looked at Bai Meng and said, intending to hand over this task to him. Although this task can achieve great achievements, it also has high dangers. Once it is seen through, it will be dangerous.
"Okay, brigade commander, don't worry, Lao Bai, even if I sacrifice my life, I will complete the task!" Bai Meng patted his chest and promised. Although it was dangerous, the soldiers were originally the ones who served in the army, so-called wealth and honor were sought in danger. Isn't the 11th Brigade not yet have a deputy brigade commander? If it is valued by the young marshal and the chief of staff for this reason, then the position of this deputy brigade commander may be him!
"Haha, that's fine! Go down and prepare, and start the action in the evening. All departments are also ready. Once General Bai enters Yushu, we will start to attack immediately!" Ma Qi gave the order with a smile.
The troops of the 11th Brigade immediately began to act. This would be their first battle after they defected to western Sichuan. Whether they were senior officers or middle-level officers, they attached great importance to it. Only when this battle was fought well, could they truly integrate into western Sichuan. Many ordinary soldiers still have some feelings for the Qingma Army. However, attracted by the high military pay and superior pension system of the Western Sichuan Army, they immediately fell into the arms of western Sichuan. When they were in the army, they were doing something to tie their heads to their belts. They did not resist the war, but were a little excited. Although Yushu was not big, in addition to the soldiers of the Qingma Army, there were also 20,000 to 30,000 residents. After winning, there would always be rewards! This is very attractive to ordinary soldiers.
Yushu is an important military center in the southwestern Qinghai region. It has been operated by the Qingma Army for more than 20 years and has always been an important defense line to resist western Sichuan. Although most of the people living in this area are Fanba herders, with the arrival of a large number of Qingma Army, it has gradually flourished. In addition to the soldiers of the Qingma Army, 20,000 to 30,000 people have settled here. Their livelihood is mainly due to providing various services to the Qingma Army's troops stationed here. Yushu City is not large, with an area of only five square kilometers and a low city wall less than two meters high around it. Although it cannot withstand the bombardment of cannons, it is enough to resist the charge of the cavalry.
Entering the plateau in April, there is already a breath of spring. In the evening, Yushu City looks very beautiful under the sunset. The simple gate of Yushu City has also been tightly closed. People living in Yushu City have also returned home and are preparing to rest. The soldiers of the Green Horse Army are preparing to start a rich nightlife at night. In Yushu City, the most lively place is undoubtedly a brothel. Almost all the military pay in the hands of these soldiers is spent on the prostitutes.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a team of hundreds of cavalry rushed towards Yushu. They were ragged, and many of them were injured, with smoke on their faces. It seemed that they were defeated after a hard battle.
The arrival of this team of cavalry broke the tranquility of Yushu City. On the low city wall, the Qingma soldiers who were originally preparing to change their guards suddenly became boiling. At the same time, the alarm bell on the city wall was ringing, and the crisp "Dangdang" sounded throughout the small Yushu City.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! There is an enemy attack!" The Qingma Army stationed in Yushu was suddenly panicked. Yushu City had not been attacked for several years, and its defenses were a little relaxed. When facing the crisis, the Qingma Army in the city was suddenly panicked.
"Hurry, everyone will go to the city wall immediately!" a tall and mighty officer ordered. He was shockingly imposing. He was a general who had been through battle formations for a long time. His name was Gu Hongtao, the younger brother of Gu Hongyun, the commander of the first battalion of the Qingma Army. He is currently the commander of the sixth battalion of the Qingma Army and the highest commander of Yushu. Under his command, the panicked Qingma Army soldiers finally had their backbone and began to act according to the order. Gu Hongtao also rushed to the city gate quickly.
"Brothers above, please open the door quickly. We are from the 12th Battalion. Nangqian was attacked by the Western Sichuan Army and we suffered heavy losses. Only the three battalions left us escaped!" Bai Meng shouted outside the gate of Yushu City.
"Wow! The Western Sichuan Army has attacked!" The soldiers of the Qingma Army on the city wall said in horror.
"That person is really the battalion commander of the 12th Battalion! It seems that Nang Qian was really attacked. Seeing that they were all injured, it must be very tragic!" Many soldiers discussed. Although they knew that the people below were also Qingma Army, they did not dare to open the city gate without orders.
At this time, Gu Hongtao came to the city wall and saw that Bai Meng was covered in wounds, and he was also shocked.
"Bai Meng, what did you do?" Gu Hongtao asked loudly.
"Brother Gu, help me! Let your brothers come in! The Western Sichuan Army is about to chase you. Nang Qian was attacked by the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army. The brothers fought hard for a day, but were defeated by the Western Sichuan Army. The three battalions, only we were the ones who risked their lives and came out!" Bai Meng shouted with a stern voice. There was a wound on his face, and blood was emitting out. The clothes on his body were also torn.
"What? The Western Sichuan Army launched a large-scale attack?" Gu Yuntao was also shocked. Although he knew that Ma Haiyan was discussing the attack on the Western Sichuan Army, he did not expect that the Western Sichuan Army would take action first.
Gu Hongtao hesitated for a moment. It seemed that Nang Qian was really broken and there was nothing wrong with it. He decided to let Bai Meng and the others enter the city. After all, we are both brothers of the Qingma Army, so we can't stand it and refuse to save them!
"Open the city gate!" Gu Hongtao ordered loudly.
Suddenly, the simple gate of Yushu City was slowly pushed open, making a squeaking sound.
Seeing that the city gate was opened, Bai Meng was delighted, but there was no sign of his face.
"Brothers, come to the city!" Bai Meng ordered. Suddenly, hundreds of remaining soldiers entered Yushu City.
"Kill!" After entering Yushu City, the sickly soldiers suddenly became alive, pulled out the sabers in their hands, and began to slash and slash at their former comrades.
"Ah!" The soldiers of the Green Horse Army immediately screamed. Without knowing anything, they were killed.
"Kill these people guarding the city gate first and occupy the entire city gate!" Bai Meng ordered loudly.
Gu Hongtao was even more shocked when he saw this change.
"Bai Meng, what are you doing? Do you dare to betray the Admiral and don't want to live anymore?" Gu Hongtao asked loudly.
"Haha! Brother Gu, I'm sorry, now my brother is from the Western Sichuan Army!" Bai Meng said with a smile.
At the same time, other troops of the 11th Brigade also began to charge. They had long been ambushed three kilometers outside Yushu City. As soon as Bai Meng and his team seized the city gate, they immediately launched an attack.

Although there are many clicks, the recommendation votes and clicks are completely disproportionate, and the rewards are also pitifully small. I guess it is about to lose! Xiaoyu was very depressed after listening to this new book. Xiaoyu was writing very carefully. Maybe there are some places that were not considered thoroughly, but Xiaoyu will work hard to write this book well. Please support Xiaoyu more! Thank you very much!
