Ma Hualong was immediately furious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHe's very ambitious, but he doesn't just want to be the president of the White Horse Club. The layout has been multifaceted for so many years, and with the results, it seems that it will be able to divide Shaanxi and Gansu, and successfully create the Holy Kingdom of White Horse, and in a few years of development, it will be able to further expand the territory, develop to the west, and occupy Xinjiang, which has a large number of White Horse people, is a huge White Horse Country.

Unexpectedly, the damn captives intervened.

But he also knew that this captive army was not as good as the Manchu army, and it was not so easy to provoke. Otherwise, the Manchu Dynasty would not have been overthrown, and the rapid destruction of the white horse soldiers in the Xi'an area and the Pingliangfu area made him very jealous of the captive army. Although he firmly believed that his white-horse soldiers could be favored by the heavens, fearless of life and death, and invincible, he had already raised his vigilance against the captive army by twelve points in his heart.

Therefore, he was furious on the surface, claiming that he would ignore the captives at all, and first eliminate the Manchu officials in the Ningxia Mansion City, and then occupy the Ningxia City. In fact, it was under the guise of occupying Ningxia City first, snatching the Manchu weapons in the city, and defending the city before confronting the captive army.

Ma Hualong is also a bold person. He took up the white horse soldiers around Jinji Fort and the entire Lingzhou territory to attack Ningxia Fucheng, and at the same time, he sent people to urge the white horse soldiers in Ningxia County to besiege Ningxia Fucheng together, wanting to take Ningxia in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Ma Hualong did not let the other White Horse congregations idle, he arranged for many White Horse women, children and elderly people living around Jinji Fort to all go out to build and strengthen various fortresses around Jinji Fort, and built dozens of castles one after another to defend the headquarters Jinji Fort.

There were nearly 20,000 Manchu officers and soldiers in Ningxia City, and their opinions on the situation were not right, so they hurriedly closed the city gate and strictly guarded it. In a fierce battle between the two sides, both sides suffered heavy casualties.

After two days of onslaught, outside the city of Ningxia, it was already extremely tragic. There were 20,000 Baima soldiers killed under the city, and on the city wall of Ningxia, more than 4,000 or 5,000 Qing soldiers were killed and thousands wounded, and almost half of them were either killed or wounded.

Ningxia General Qingyun couldn't withstand this terrifying pressure and directly led his subordinates to throw, but at this moment, a piece of news came. It turned out that several castles outside the city, such as Pingqiang Fort and Heng Castle, were first broken by the white horse soldiers. The Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers stationed in several castles surrendered. But what is unexpected is that all the Qing soldiers who surrendered, although they lost their weapons and were barehanded, were still mercilessly killed.

After the news leaked, the Qing soldiers in the remaining castles outside the city no longer dared to garrison outside, and wanted to flee into Ningxia City, but under the city, they were brutally tortured and killed by the white horse soldiers, and even the families of the soldiers in the castle, including more than 100 women and children.

At this time, Ningxia General Qingyun did not dare to surrender. But the entire city of Ningxia has been besieged by the White Horse Regiment, and it is not easy to break out. In the end, the Xi'an general Zarafin, who fled in Ningxia City, decided to mobilize the local gentry and people in Ningxia City to hold Ningxia City.

There are many white horse congregations in Ningxia City, thinking that they should attack Ningxia City together, but the Xi'an general Zarafen has already been vigilant, and thousands of White Horse Congregations in the city have been killed in advance, plus Ningxia City is quite strong, and the Qing soldiers are strictly defended, and the White Horse soldiers have not been able to break through Ningxia City for a while.

However, the city of Ningxia is also in danger. At this time, Chen Yucheng and Lin Qirong and others led a large army of the captive army into Ningxia Mansion, and conquered dozens of large and small village fortresses along the way. In Zarafin's view, the captives are at least civilized people, surrendering to the past, at least they can save their lives and have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, and these white horse congregations are simply barbarians, and it is impossible to even surrender. Moreover, the group of Qing soldiers who accompanied him could at least have a way out.

As a result, Zaraphine sent a small group of Qing troops, disguised themselves, to break out of the encirclement and surrender to the begging army from the south for help.

Chen Yucheng, who had arrived at Zhongwei County, was overjoyed when he heard that the Qing army in Ningxia was preparing to surrender and ordered a rapid march. Conquer the city and accumulate food along the way. In the event of a white horse soldier, they were all attacked and killed, but for the ordinary white horse congregation, they were no longer guarded to the death, but were guarded by Henan recruits and guarded in the walled forts everywhere.

Chen Yucheng and Lin Qirong led the main force of 30,000 captives into the Lingzhou area, and everywhere they went, they attacked and killed the white horse soldiers in various fortresses, and sent them all the way to collect local people to collect grain and grass, and sent troops to besiege the area of Jinjibao.

This time Ma Hualong was in a hurry, Jinji Fort is the base camp of the White Horse Club, in order to protect Jinji Fort, he sent all the White Horse Congregations to fight together, no distinction between men and women, young and old, all the White Horse Congregations mobilized the whole people, the fortress for the war, the village for the war, and the people for their own war.

The attack of the captives was slow, and almost every village was attacked by the white-capped White Horse congregation, and for a while, the gunpowder of the captives began to become a little nervous.

It lasted a month, and the captives captured more than 100 large and small forts around Jinji Fort with great difficulty, and completed the encirclement of Jinji Fort on all sides. The 30,000 captives besieged the Jinji Fort City, the circumference is only more than nine miles, the city wall is four zhang high, about three zhang thick, surrounded by Haohao, there is a fort in the fort, named Baosheng Fort, it is the old nest of the White Horse Club.

However, Chen Yucheng did not immediately launch an attack on Jinji Fort. He first let Lin Qirong divide his troops, leaving 20,000 captives to confront Jinjibao, and he led 10,000 troops to Ningxia City.

As soon as the captive army arrived, the Qing army and local squires in Ningxia City breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason, they regarded this begging army that should be the enemy army as a relative, and the Ningxia general Qingyun led 2,000 Qing soldiers to kill out of Ningxia City, and the captive army attacked inside and outside, and defeated the white horse soldiers besieging Ningxia City in one fell swoop.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the white horse soldiers wanted to retreat to Jinji Fort, but they were intercepted by Lin Qirong's captive army, and they were defeated for a while, and finally only more than 20,000 of the 40,000 soldiers fled back to Jinji Fort, and the rest died in battle.

The cunning Xi'an general Zarafen, taking advantage of the siege of Ningxia, led 3,000 Mongolian elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to flee north on horseback into the Ordos grassland.

The Ningxia general Qingyun led the Qing soldiers and squires of Ningxia City to surrender to the captive army.

Chen Yucheng took the Qing soldier Qingyun who had just surrendered as the vanguard, returned to Jinji Fort, joined forces with Lin Qirong, and attacked Jinji Fort.

At this time, the White Horse Congregation of Jinjibao continued to fight with the Qing army, and was destroyed by the captive army of the outer fortress, and the White Horse Congregation in Jinjibao City was only 40,000 or 50,000 people, and in addition to the 20,000 soldiers who fled back, the rest of the old, weak, wounded, and women were mostly injured, and at the same time, the supply of the periphery was lost, and the grain and grass began to be nervous.

However, these White Horse congregations still demolished their houses and threw "wood and stones, fireballs from time to time, and even poured hot soup, wheat porridge, pots and pans, chests, cabinets, tables and stools, etc., and even threw corpses at the beleaguered soldiers under the city." For a time, the tragic state of seeing death as if it were home was rare in the world.

After four days of fierce siege battles, the ammunition of the captives, with muskets as their main weapon, was almost exhausted, and the losses began to increase. More than 2,000 people were killed in the battle, and the Qing army in Qingyun was almost disabled, and the White Horse Congregation in Jinji Fort killed more than 15,000 people, and everyone was wounded.

In the castle, Ma Hualong, the chairman of the white horse, couldn't hold on to it at first. When the White Horse Congregation in the fort was about to collapse, he was forced to be helpless, in the name of saving the White Horse Club compatriots in the fort, he bound himself to the camp outside the fort to ask for surrender, begging Chen Yucheng to spare the White Horse congregation, he was willing to commit suicide to forgive the world.

He expected that Chen Yucheng would definitely consult the emperor of the Chinese Empire before deciding what to do with him, so that months would pass back and forth. And according to the practice of the Central Plains dynasties, it is very likely that he will be pardoned, and he will be rewarded lavishly, and then he will be enshrined in surveillance. In any case, he still had a chance, and he made up his mind that as long as the main force of the captives was withdrawn, he would lead the White Horse Congregation to move west and find a new place to build the White Horse Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, the next day, he was forced to write a confession, admitting that he had committed a heinous crime, and then he was forcibly "poisoned and committed suicide".

He was afraid that he would never expect that as early as a few months ago, he had already been remembered, and Feng Yunshan, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, had issued an order to kill him by any means necessary.

Not only Ma Hualong, but more than ten of his relatives, as well as the major leaders of the white horse soldiers, were all killed. All the soldiers, who were also guarded by the beggars, accidentally starved to death tens of thousands of people, of course, these guards were severely punished, and were ordered to starve for a day, and also taste the taste of hunger.

The only remaining soldiers who could not starve to death also caused "public indignation" because they killed many people around Ningxia Prefecture at the beginning, and were intercepted by the ignorant people organized by the local gentry nearby, and were all killed by these "mobs".

After the White Horse congregation in Ningxia in the Jinjibao area was resolved, everything went smoothly. Soon, the supplies of the captive army arrived, Chen Yucheng and Lin Qirong divided their troops again, and Chen Yucheng led 8,000 horsemen to attack the Alxa Erlut Banner garrison not far away, leaving more than 5,000 soldiers of the captive army to temporarily garrison Ningxia City, renovate the place, and clear the White Horse Congregation. Lin Qirong led the rest of the captive army, escorted a large number of cattle, horses and other materials and prisoners, and rushed to Shanxi.

At the same time, the Qing troops in Lanzhou and Xining Prefectures, under the attack of the 4th and 6th Divisions and other captive armies, were defeated in a battle and surrendered one after another.

However, there were still many Qing soldiers of the Eight Banners who fled to Ganzhou Mansion and Suzhou Mansion in the further northwest. At this time, it was already a cold winter, and the captives were thinly dressed, although they rushed to make a batch of cotton clothes, but because they were all southerners, they could not adapt to the bitter cold weather in the northwest region, and in desperation, Liang Litai and Luo Qiongshu and others had to return to Lanzhou City for the winter, preparing to wait for the cold winter to pass, and then send troops to Ganzhou, Suzhou and other places in the spring of the next year.
