When the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army was fighting with the Qingma Army, the 11th Brigade was also waiting for the order to attack Maqin City. Although the hard battle yesterday did not capture Maqin City, it at least caused damage to Maqin City.
There were two to three thousand casualties. The defenders of Maqin City only had a total of 4,000 people, and almost half of them had been lost. The loss of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army was less than a thousand. Almost everyone thought that today
We can capture Maqin City.
"Brigadier, all the brothers are asking for a fight. When can we launch an attack?" Bai Meng, deputy commander of the 11th Brigade, walked into the military tent and asked.
In the military tent, in addition to Ma Qi and Ma Yuntao, Wang Yuze's adjutant Wang Wei was also there. Now, Wang Wei is the liaison officer sent by Wang Yuze to the 11th Brigade. On the one hand, he conveys the orders of the Western Sichuan Army, and on the other hand, he also
With a deeper role. The 11th Brigade is all composed of surrendered troops of the Qingma Army. Although there is no doubt about the personnel employed, the battle with the Ma Jiajun this time is of great importance and cannot be ignored in the slightest. Therefore, Wang
An important role of Wei in the 11th Brigade is to make these people have some scruples.
In fact, Wang Yuze was overly worried. Ma Qi and others now have no way out. Since they boarded the ship of the Western Sichuan Army and followed the Western Sichuan Army to attack the Qingma Army, how could they return to the Qingma Army?
What's over there? They can only go to the dark side in one way.
"Lao Bai, wait a moment. The young marshal and the chief of staff led the army to fight against the main force of the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou. The young marshal ordered us to wait until the battle is over before attacking Maqin!" Ma Yuntao said.
"What? Marshal and the others are facing the main force of the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou? How many people did they bring with them?" This was the first time Bai Meng heard the news.
"Not much, four battalions of the 10th Brigade!" Ma Qi said. He and Ma Yuntao only knew the news after Wang Wei told them just now. However, Ma Qi felt a little confused. One side belongs to him.
Lao Tzu, the other side is his master. No matter which side loses, it is not what he wants to see. However, he has no chance to choose now.
"Four battalions? Fighting against 16,000 Qingma troops? How is this possible?" Bai Meng exclaimed.
Not to mention him, Ma Qi and others thought this was a crazy decision. A ratio of one to four! The Qingma Army was not a good opponent, and everyone had no idea whether the Western Sichuan Army could win.
Maqin City is now a different scene. After yesterday's fierce attack by the Western Sichuan Army, half of the entire Maqin City was in ruins, and the casualties of the defenders were very heavy. Now what is available in Maqin City?
The number of soldiers is less than half of what it was before the battle began.
Lu Haoran and Wei Yuan were at the dilapidated city wall in the west of Maqin City, looking at the Green Horse Army opposite.
"General, it's almost noon, why haven't the Western Sichuan Army launched an attack yet? Do they have some conspiracy?" Wei Yuan said with some worry. In yesterday's battle, his 15th Battalion had basically suffered all casualties.
.
"I don't know! However, if the Western Sichuan Army wants to capture Maqin, there is no need for any conspiracy! As long as they continue to maintain the intensity of yesterday's attack today, Maqin City will definitely change hands!" Lu Haoran sighed. Although Ma Haiyan
Orders were given to defend Maqin City, but there is still no sign of reinforcements. It seems that it is impossible to hold Maqin City before reinforcements arrive.
"General, if you calculate the time, the Admiral should be here soon! As long as the Admiral can arrive, there is still hope for us to defend Maqin. By then, the reinforcements from the Majia Army and the Ningma Army in Hezhou will also arrive, and we will still win.
Opportunity!" Wei Yuan said.
"I hope so!" Lu Haoran sighed.
The Western Sichuan Army stopped attacking, and the Qingma Army was happy that they didn't have to die. They wished they could maintain this situation. At noon, a group of heavy troops arrived and sent more than 20 carriages of weapons and ammunition to the Western Sichuan Army.
The camp of the 10th Brigade. After the Western Sichuan Army captured Nangqian, the Chamdo baggage troops began to transport the weapons and ammunition urgently needed on the front line. However, the roads on the plateau were very difficult to walk, and it was not until now that the first batch of
The baggage is delivered.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a small group of cavalry quickly rushed into the camp of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army from the north.
"A great victory! The young marshal and the chief of staff led their troops to face the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou and achieved a great victory, wiping out tens of thousands of enemies!" The cavalry shouted loudly as soon as they entered the camp of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army.
.
"What? You achieved a great victory, but you also wiped out tens of thousands of enemies?" The whole camp was excited.
"How many people are there in the Qing Ma Army? We have already wiped out ten or twenty thousand people, and now we have wiped out tens of thousands of enemies. How many of the Qing Ma Army are left?" The soldiers of the 11th Brigade discussed one after another.
One after another.
At this time, after receiving the news, Ma Qi, Bai Meng, Ma Yuntao, Wang Wei and others also rushed out to greet them.
"Sir, the marshal and the chief of staff asked me to hand over the battle report to you!" A cavalryman dismounted, saluted Ma Qi, took out a battle report from his pocket and handed it to Ma Qi.
Ma Qi quickly took it and read it. There were not many words on it, only two or three lines. However, the recorded information was very important.
After reading the battle report, Ma Qi's face was full of smiles. Although his father was defeated, he couldn't care so much now. He was now a member of the Western Sichuan Army.
"Brothers, the young marshal and the chief of staff led the army to face the Qingma Army in Dongqinggou. Four thousand men faced off against the 16,000 Qingma Army and achieved a great victory! They wiped out tens of thousands of enemies and suffered less than five losses.
Hundreds of people!" Ma Qi shouted loudly.
"Wow!" The soldiers of the 11th Brigade exclaimed. They fought with 4,000 against 16,000 and achieved a great victory. The fighting power of the Western Sichuan Army was too awesome! The entire camp became a
A sea of joy. For these former soldiers of the Green Horse Army, they have always been worried that if they failed, they would be settled by the Green Horse Army. Now that the Green Horse Army has completely failed, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The unusual movement on the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army attracted the attention of the Green Horse Army in the city, but they didn't know what happened, which made them very confused.
An hour later, a soldier from the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army entered Maqin City under a white flag. However, in less than twenty minutes, he was driven out with a bruised nose and face.
"Brigadier, these people are so ignorant. We kindly advised them to surrender, but they did this to our envoy. Give us an order. With just one charge, our people can take down Maqin City!" Bai Meng was angry.
shouted.
"Don't be busy! Maqin City is already within our grasp. There is no need to pay unnecessary casualties. If they don't recognize the image in another two hours, don't blame us!" Ma Yun
Tao suggested.
Ma Qi did not object when he heard this. If he could win Maqin City at the minimum cost, why not do it?
The city of Maqin was filled with gloom and gloom. Although they shouted that they did not believe the nonsense of the messenger, in fact, everyone had deep doubts in their hearts.
"General, the Admiral is really defeated, right? Otherwise, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" asked the battalion commander of the 21st Battalion of the Qingma Army.
"The Admiral has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, how could he be defeated by 4,000 people?" Wei Yuan shook his head in disbelief.
Although Lu Haoran didn't say much, he still didn't quite believe what the Western Sichuan Army's envoy said. He thought that this was just a trick used by the Western Sichuan Army to capture Ma Qin.
However, at about four o'clock in the afternoon, rumbling thunder came from the north of Maqin City. Anyone with experience knew that it was the sound of a large number of cavalry galloping together.
The defenders of Maqin City were greatly excited. They thought reinforcements from the Qingma Army had arrived.
However, upon closer inspection, those cavalrymen were from the Western Sichuan Army.
When more than ten broken flags of the Green Horse Army were placed under Maqin City, the momentum of the defenders of Maqin City completely collapsed.
"General, it seems that the Admiral has really been defeated. What should we do?" Wei Yuan asked with a frustrated look. The other generals also looked at Lu Haoran with hopeful expressions.
"Surrender! There are no reinforcements. How can we hold Maqin City!" Lu Haoran said dejectedly. However, after making this decision, he felt a lot more relaxed.
