"Brother, should we fight or surrender? Make up your mind!" Ma Guoliang asked anxiously. Now that the Western Sichuan Army is about to invade, he must make a decision quickly! However, from his own heart,
, didn’t want to fight anymore. When he was in Maqin, he was afraid of being beaten. Now the tall and solid city walls of Hezhou City can’t resist the footsteps of the Western Sichuan Army. If you want to defend Hezhou City, then
It's even more impossible.
"Don't be so impatient! There are more than 20,000 brothers in Hezhou City? Even if they attack, they won't be able to reach the Admiral's Mansion for a while!" Ma Anliang glanced at Ma Guoliang and said slowly.
"Brother, how about we surrender? The army in western Sichuan is strong, and we are no match for them! If the fight continues, Hezhou City will be finished, and so will our Ma family!" Ma Guoliang said bravely. He was
I see clearly, the Ma Jiajun is no match for the Western Sichuan Army, this world! Maybe it really belongs to Western Sichuan. Now that I join the Western Sichuan Army, I might be able to get a good position and become a hero of Conglong. I didn’t see Ma
Has that kid Qi become a brigade commander in the Western Sichuan Army? If they join forces there, at least they can't be worse than this!
"Humph! Guoliang, are you scared?" Ma Anliang asked.
"Brother, I'm not scared, I'm thinking about our Ma family! Now that we have failed, if we continue to resist, the entire Ma family will be destroyed!" Ma Guoliang defended.
"Stand back! I have my own opinion!" Ma Anliang waved his hand.
Ma Guoliang opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Soldiers from the 11th and 12th brigades of the Western Sichuan Army rushed into Hezhou City through the blasted gap in the city wall. The defenders of the Ma's Army were already frightened and their resistance was very limited.
Under the fierce attack of the Western Sichuan Army, they were retreating steadily. Many people even took the initiative to lay down their weapons and surrender as soon as the Western Sichuan Army arrived. Obviously, during this period, the Western Sichuan Army's shelling, as well as from the Battle of Maqin,
Under the propaganda of the Ma Jiajun who had escaped, they subconsciously believed that they were no match for the Western Sichuan Army. Instead of losing their lives by stubbornly resisting, it was better to surrender and save their lives.
Of course, there were people who resisted, but compared to those who surrendered, they were much smaller. Under the siege of more than 20,000 people from the 11th and 12th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army, these resisters quickly
were annihilated. In less than two hours, the Western Sichuan Army had already reached the Admiral's Mansion in the center of the city.
"Second Master, no, the Western Sichuan Army is coming. They have surrounded the entire Admiral's Mansion and are about to attack!" The steward of the Admiral's Mansion ran over to report with a look of panic on his face.
Ma Guo's conscience trembled, and he quickly walked to Ma Anliang's study again. The Western Sichuan Army's offensive was so fierce, and the Ma's Army was defeated so quickly, which was completely beyond his imagination. Perhaps, after laying this foundation, the Ma's Army
It has been peaceful for a long time, and it no longer has the same bloody spirit as when the uprising first occurred.
"Brother, the Western Sichuan Army has attacked outside the Admiral's Mansion, please make a decision quickly!" Ma Guoliang patted the study door and said loudly.
However, there was silence in the study room, and not a single sound came from it.
"Bang bang!" Ma Guoliang knocked on the door twice again, but there was still no sound inside.
"Brother, are you in there? Answer me?" Ma Guoliang became a little anxious and shouted loudly. However, he still didn't get any response.
"Bang!" Ma Guoliang kicked the door open, rushed in and saw that Ma Anliang had slumped on the chair, his eyes wide open, and a wisp of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Brother, big brother!" Ma Guoliang ran over quickly, hugged Ma Anliang and shook him for a while, but Ma Anliang had no life left and had obviously been dead for a long time.
"Master, Master, what's wrong with you?" The housekeeper also ran in at this time, and when he saw Ma Anliang's appearance, he immediately shouted.
"Go quickly and find the third master and the sister-in-law!" Ma Guoliang roared angrily.
"Okay, Second Master, let's go right away!" The housekeeper hurriedly ran to deliver the order.
Ma Anliang committed suicide by taking poison, and the entire Admiral's Mansion was in chaos. Those Ma Jiajun completely lost their fighting spirit and surrendered one after another. As soon as Ma Anliang died, the person in charge of the Ma Jiajun became Ma Guoliang. When the Western Sichuan Army broke into the Admiral's Mansion,
, he surrendered to the Western Sichuan Army without saying a word. Under Ma Guoliang's order, all the Ma's troops in Hezhou City laid down their weapons.
From the time the Western Sichuan Army started attacking to Ma Guoliang's surrender, it only took a total of three hours for the entire Hezhou City to fall.
"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff, we have taken control of the entire Hezhou City!" Ma Qi and Ma Fulu reported to Ye Yan and Cai Yun.
"Very good, pay attention to the order in the city, and no looting is allowed. You are now the Western Sichuan Army, and you must abide by the rules of the Western Sichuan Army." Wang Yuze warned.
"Yes, Marshal! We will tell the brothers below immediately!" Ma Qi and Ma Fulu said quickly with their hearts tightening. They both knew very well the character of their men. After a victory, they would burn, kill and loot.
It's quite normal.
"I will immediately dispatch a law enforcement team from the 10th Brigade into the city. Anyone who commits evil will be severely punished. General Ma Qi, General Ma Fulu, now that our Western Sichuan Army has captured this place, it belongs to us.
Everyone is our people, and we cannot do anything to harm them!" Cai Yun also said firmly.
"Yes, Chief of Staff. If there is such a person under our command, we will definitely punish him severely!" Ma Qi and Ma Fulu quickly assured.
"Report to Marshal, Chief of Staff! A troop with tens of thousands of people was found in the north of Hezhou City and is marching towards Hezhou City!" A staff officer came in and reported.
"Young Marshal, he should be from our Ningma Army." Ma Fulu said.
"Let's go and take a look together!" Wang Yuze nodded.
When Wang Yuze and others came to the north of Hezhou City, the situation in the entire Hezhou City had stabilized. After the law enforcement team stationed and arrested several soldiers of the former Ningma Army for robbery, the remaining people were all frightened.
Dare to act rashly again. All the prisoners of the Ma family army were also taken into custody. However, those members of the Ma family were temporarily placed under house arrest in the Admiral's Mansion, waiting for the disposal of Wang Yuze and Cai Yun.
"Young Master, eldest brother sent me to bring someone here!" Ma Zhengyuan saw Ma Fulu from a distance and hurried over.
"Second uncle, why are you here in person?" Ma Fulu hurriedly greeted him.
"Young Master, my eldest brother asked me to be the commander of the 13th Brigade. Didn't I just rush here with my people? Where are those brats from the Ma Jiajun?" Ma Zhengyuan asked.
"Uncle Zhengyuan, the battle is over, we have captured Hezhou!" Ma Fulu said.
"Hmph! Those two boys from Ma Jiajun are indeed weaklings!" Ma Zhengyuan said with some disappointment.
"Okay, stop talking, I'll take you to see the marshal and the chief of staff!" Ma Fulu said.
"Ah! Okay! Wait a minute, I've prepared a meeting gift for the marshal and the chief of staff!" Ma Zhengyuan took a wooden box from his horse and held it in his arms.
"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff. This is my second uncle Ma Zhengyuan, who is also the candidate recommended by my father to be the brigade commander of the 13th Brigade!" Ma Fulu accepted.
"Ma Zhengyuan has met the young marshal, the chief of staff!" Ma Zhengyuan fell to his knees and kowtowed to Wang Yuze and Cai Yun.
"Ah! Please get up quickly, Ma Jiajun. From today on, you are a soldier of the Western Sichuan Army. You don't need to kneel down, just give a military salute!" Wang Yuze quickly helped Ma Zhengyuan up. A man who was old enough to be his father kowtowed to him.
It made him very uncomfortable.
"Thank you, Marshal! Marshal, this is the meeting gift I prepared for you!" Ma Zhengyuan handed the wooden box in his arms to Wang Yuze.
"What is this?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Head! The head of that old guy Yang Changjun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu!" Ma Zhengyuan said with a smile.
"Ah!" Wang Yuze yelled and immediately threw the wooden box out. The box was broken, and a head with wide eyes and a pale face rolled out of the box, and there was an ugly stripe behind it.
