Chapter 69: Destroying the Qingma Army
"Run up and break through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army! That's great!" The gloomy face on Ma Haiyan's face was swept away, and the folds on his face smiled like a chrysanthemum. That way, it was like a happy child.
"The soldiers of our Qingma Army are the bravest soldiers and the most powerful soldiers. How could the Western Sichuan Army, which can only rely on firepower, compare with us?" Gu Hongyun said immediately. His face also smiled like a flower, completely forgetting that he had advised Ma Haiyan to retreat quickly.
Only Zhou He's face did not change much. Although the Qingma Army broke through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army, the troops participating in the attack were almost at the end of their strength. In the face of heavy casualties, these soldiers were supported by a belief. Looking at the Western Sichuan Army, although they retreated, the whole process was orderly and there was no panic. It didn't seem to be defeated at all. Instead, during the retreat, they continued to cause considerable harm to the Qingma Army. Therefore, Zhou He had a very bad premonition in his heart.
Behind the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army, a large number of Western Sichuan cavalry had already mounted their war horses. These were the soldiers of the Second Battalion of the 10th Brigade. On the front line, the Western Sichuan Army only released one battalion. However, with the cooperation of strong firepower, this battalion still caused great damage to the Qingma Army. Although the defense line has been broken, this is because the Western Sichuan Army did not let the soldiers fight desperately with the Qingma Army in order to reduce casualties.
"Prepare for charge!" When the Qingma Army had just broken through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army, Zhao Bowen, the brigade commander of the 10th Brigade, immediately issued an order. The two battalions on both wings and the cavalry of the second battalion as reserve team immediately launched a counter-charge.
The horse's hooves sounded like thunder and the sabers were like snow, and large white light was reflected under the sunlight. The three battalions of Sichuan Western Army quickly launched a charge towards the Qingma Army.
Before the Qingma soldiers who had just broken through the defense line of the Western Sichuan Army had been happy, they saw a large number of Western Sichuan cavalry attacking them. On one side, the Qingma soldiers who had a low morale and had been fighting for a long time, while on the other side, the Western Sichuan Army who were waiting for their hard work and had a high morale, they immediately made a judgment.
"Kill!" The cavalry of the Western Sichuan Army made a roar that shook the enemy's heads fiercely. With the help of the high speed of the war horses, it was not very difficult to cut off the enemy's head. When the savage of the snow-clear slashed, a big head had already soared into the sky. It quickly drilled through, divided, surrounded and annihilated. In a short time, the two or three thousand Qingma Army that rushed into the position of the Western Sichuan Army were in trouble. During the battle, the cavalry of the Western Sichuan Army also threw several grenades into the cavalry gathered by the Qingma Army from time to time, which further accelerated the defeat of the Qingma Army.
Gradually, the soldiers of the Qingma Army could no longer support this heavy pressure and immediately rode their horses to flee. The role of role models was endless. The Qingma Army soldiers who were already on the verge of collapse suddenly collapsed. As the saying goes, "The defeat is like a mountain of fall." The scene of the Qingma Army's defeat is undoubtedly like this.
"Admiral, the brothers in front have been defeated by the Western Sichuan Army. Hurry up and send troops to rescue!" Zhou He said quickly. Now they have two elite troops in their hands, and there are also a thousand remaining defeated soldiers.
"No, those defeated generals have been scared and cannot enter the battle for the time being. The terrain here is too narrow. If reinforcements are sent, they will be dispersed by the defeated people, giving the Western Sichuan Army an opportunity to take advantage of!" Gu Hongyun shook his head. As a long-term general, he is more than better than Zhou He in command literacy.
"Oh! The situation is over, and the spirit is lost! Order the troops to retreat!" Ma Haiyan said bitterly. His appearance seemed to be even older at this moment. He fought against more than 4,000 Western Sichuan Army with more than 16,000 troops, but he still fell to his current situation. This made him feel very uncomfortable!
"Woo!" The desolate trumpet sounded again, echoing over the grassland, looking very sad. After hearing the order to retreat, the defeated Qingma soldiers beat the war horses under their crotch hard and ran away hard. Behind them, the deputy brigade commander of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, Tsashi Dorji, led three battalions of the Western Sichuan Army to pursue the defeated Qingma Army.
The explosive power and endurance of the Western Sichuan Army are stronger than the Qingma Army's war horses, which makes the Qingma Army soldiers constantly chased during the entire pursuit process. These Qingma Army soldiers either surrender or were killed directly, and there is no third way to choose.
The Qingma Army fled northward, and troops were constantly being chased by the Western Sichuan Army and then eaten. When the Western Sichuan Army stopped pursuing, they had already chased out for two hundred miles. During this period, at least thousands of Qingma Army were killed or captured. When Ma Haiyan came, he brought sixteen battalions, and the Qingma Army was almost all the main forces, but after this battle, there were less than 4,000 troops collected. In addition to most of them died in battle, some people escaped in the chaos. Obviously, they were all scared by the Western Sichuan Army and were completely disappointed with the Qingma Army. Instead of staying to die, it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
"Admiral, where will we go next?" Zhou He asked. Due to the defeat, the morale of the troops dropped to freezing point. Many people hung their heads and couldn't lift themselves up.
"Hmph! Why do you all look like you're dead? I'm not dead yet? Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. We still have a chance. The Hezhou Ma Family Army and Ning Ma Army will arrive soon, and we can still gather 40,000 troops. We have the power to fight with the Western Sichuan Army. The final victory may not belong to us!" Ma Haiyan yelled angrily. Ma Haiyan was actually very disappointed with this defeat. But he knew that he could not fall down, nor could he show a trace of frustration, otherwise the Qingma Army would be finished.
"Yes, the Admiral is right, we still have a chance. Although we were defeated, the Western Sichuan Army suffered a lot of losses. We also have the support of the Hezhou Ma Family Army and the Ning Ma Army. The final victory must belong to us!" Zhou He also said loudly.
"Allah will bless his people!" Gu Hongyun also roared.
Suddenly, the Qing horse army, which had originally hung its head, was once again inspired. They were the Qing horse army that had been traversing the grassland for decades. They were invincible existences, and it would be impossible for any foreign enemy to defeat them.
In Dongqinggou, the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army were already cleaning the battlefield. This time, not many prisoners were captured, and those seriously injured were only three or four thousand. Most of the soldiers of the Qingma Army returned to the arms of Allah under the fierce firepower of the Western Sichuan Army.
"Young Commander, Chief of Staff, win! This time we will kill at least more than 10,000 enemies with 4,000 to 16,000!" Zhao Bowen, the brigade commander of the 10th Brigade, looked happy.
"How are our casualties?" Wang Yuze asked first. Although the number of enemies annihilated is important, it is not the most important.
"Young marshal, our casualties are not large. The first battalion in frontal battle is less than 100 casualties. I wonder how much casualties will be caused by the deputy brigade commander's pursuit?" Zhao Bowen said.
"The casualties are still within a bearable range. However, the ammunition consumption is large after all. This battle consumed at least one-third of our ammunition. With the previous battle, we had consumed half of the ammunition. Next, we have to deal with tens of thousands of Ma family troops, so we have to save some use!" Cai Yun said with a smile. Although the Qingma army was defeated, the war was not over yet. The Ma family army and Ningma army were not easy to deal with.
"The backpacking troops will be sent to you one after another. It should be able to alleviate the situation of insufficient ammunition!" Zhao Bowen said. The reason why the 10th Brigade has such strong combat power is ultimately due to its strong firepower. Otherwise, how could it be possible to win more with less?
"Maqin is useless anymore. Order the 11th Brigade to take down Maqin! Next, it is the decisive battle between us and the Ma family army!" Wang Yuze said. Maqin was left behind to attract Ma Haiyan to take the bait. Now, the Qingma army has been defeated, so there is no need to keep it anymore.
