Chapter 122: Ma Rulong is defeated and retreats

The contradiction was quickly resolved, and after the victory, the two sides celebrated and drank a meal, and their lives turned over, anyway, it was not the common people who died, but the officials of the Qing court, and Li Xiongxiong didn't care much.

The parties immediately began discussions on preparing for a counteroffensive.

"As long as you kill Ma Rulong, a big traitor, Kunming will be at your fingertips" Ma Rong was angry when he mentioned Ma Rulong.

"It's okay, let's capture Songmeng Prefecture first, cut off Ma Rulong's back road, and let people notify Ma Lian, and attack from both sides." Li Xiongxiong also affirmed Ma Rong's opinion, if it were not for Ma Rulong's rebellion, Kunming would have been occupied by the rebels long ago.

Another advantageous condition for attacking Songmeng Prefecture is that it is the granary of Yunnan, and after Qujing was plagued by Liu Yuezhao, there is a great need for food relief for the people here.

Soon, the two armies marched to Songmeng Prefecture successively to rescue the horse union in Xundian.

Ma Lian's life is a little better than Ma Rong's, because Ma Rulong did not blindly attack, but kept inviting him to negotiate, because Xundian is the nest of the Hui people in Qiandong, and it is also the hometown of Ma Rulong's subordinates.

Ma Rulong is also helpless, his troops are also Huimin, and the rebels of the Ma Union are all of the same origin, and the hard attack will be rejected by the soldiers below.

So he always wanted to trap Ma Lian, so he wrote more than a dozen letters in a row, with sincere words, clever words, and false coaxing him.

"Brother Qi, brother sat on the Qing court's admiral is a last resort, it is really with the Qing court and the snake, accumulate strength, save the strength of my Hui rebel army, brother hereby swears, as long as the time is ripe, he will oppose him, drive the Qing army out of Yunnan, and unite Du Xiuwen in northern Yunnan to establish the Hui people's power."

"When we retreat, we can defend Yunnan, and we can attack Guizhou, Guangxi, Sichuan, and other places in the southwest."

"Even with Hong Xiuquan of Nanjing, he destroyed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, chased the Central Plains, and shared the world, so he was willing to chat with his brother and discuss the great cause together."

Reading the big biscuits drawn in Ma Rulong's letter, Ma Lian, this guy saw tears in his eyes, excited, according to the original historical development, this kid was so generous to righteousness, no, it was a generous banquet and pulled Ma Rong's goods, the two of them won Ma Rulong's Hongmen banquet together, and never returned, and the Eastern Yunnan Righteous Army collapsed.

But after reading Ma Rulong's letter this time, although he was very moved by Ma Rulong's letter, Ma Lian did not lose his mind, but said to the people below: "Go and call Brother Wang over." ”

In the early years of last year, a rebel army came from the direction of Sichuan, and took refuge in the hands of Ma Lian, this person is quite talented, very insightful, and Ma Lian often talks about the situation in eastern Yunnan with it, relying on this person, his troops are becoming more and more like the Taiping Army, and have become more regular.

Soon Wang Qi came to Ma Lian, and after listening to what Ma Rulong said in the letter, he stroked his long black beard, shook his head and sneered: "This is a plan to lure the enemy by Qinggou, and the Hongmen banquet is held, if Ma Shuai really goes, he will inevitably be harmed by it, and when the dragon of Xundian has no leader, it will be scattered." ”

Wang Qi is the former Wang Huzi of the Taiping Army, after being pursued by Liu Yuezhao in Sichuan, he fled with dozens of people, as far as Yunnan, and then joined the Ma Lian Department, relying on good acting skills, he established his prestige among the Han people of the Eastern Yunnan Righteous Army, and after a year of development, now there are more than 1,000 subordinates.

is already a pivotal general in the Ma Alliance, and his words are still very important to the Ma Alliance, especially Wang Qi reminded: "Qinggou is not trustworthy, is it not the promise of Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, how can the Yiwang surrender by himself, but what is the final result." ”

Wang Qi spoke eloquently, and he was still very grateful for Shi Dakai's kindness, which was true.

When it comes to Shi Dakai, Ma Lian's mind is more sober, a lesson from the past, and a bloody lesson.

"Okay, then according to Brother Wang's opinion, what should we do."

"Ma Shuai, Ma Rulong told you to sensationalize, you don't want to delay time." Wang Huzi stroked his long beard and said with a sinister smile: "Anyway, there is food in the city, Russia will not die, Ma Rulong has no choice but to us, there is also a team of the New People's Army in the north of the city, the 101st Regiment of the Kang Southwest Independent Brigade, which can respond to us and others, Ma Rulong must have scruples, and he can't do his best if he wants to attack." ”

"Yes! Well, as you say. Ma Lian is not a hesitant person, he made the final decision at the moment, and at the same time he also felt that this was the best way to deal with Ma Rulong, after all, they are all of the same ancestry, and it is always bad to meet each other.

Ma Rulong waited left and right, and did not see Ma Lian coming, so angry that he slammed the table, he asked himself if he knew a lot about Ma Lian, and believed that with such sensational words, it was enough to fool Ma Lian.

As a result, the United did not dump him and released his pigeons.

Just when Ma Rulong was waiting for him to get angry in a hurry, ready to make some soft moves to lure the Ma Lian, he received the last bad news he wanted to receive.

"Cen Yuying's eight king eggs were divided by Ma Rong? The main force of the New People's Army has entered Yunnan from Guizhou? The Singapore-Malaysia coalition army rushed to the Songmeng City in my rear? ”

Ma Rulong himself is a Hui person, and his subordinates are also Hui, and there are many eyes and ears in the eastern Yunnan area, and what happened in Qujing soon reached him.

If the Singapore-Malaysian coalition wants to intercept his back road, it will not be able to hide it.

Ma Rulong was shocked, and after repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the news, he reluctantly said that he was cheap, so he decisively withdrew his troops and returned to Songmeng Prefecture.

As soon as Ma Rulong left, Ma Lianda breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time knew that the main force of the New People's Army had entered Yunnan, this time it was Allah's power, and he also received Ma Rong's invitation to attack Kunming together.

So he also gathered his subordinates, responded positively, and waited for a day, and joined the 101st Regiment of the Kang Southwest Independent Brigade of the New People's Army to kill Songmeng Prefecture together.

The two ways came to attack, Ma Rulong divided his troops to resist, but they were all defeated, so he took the initiative to retreat to Guandu, so as to gather troops to defend.

The road to Guandu is narrow, with mountains on both sides, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to deploy troops.

Li Xiongxiong and Shuangma met in Chongmeng, and after understanding the situation, he held down everyone's emotions and said to Shuangma: "Let's rest in Chongmeng for a day or two first, and we are attacking." ”

Ma Lian was puzzled and asked: "Brigade Commander Li, we should take advantage of the victory to attack, break through Guandu in one fell swoop, and hit the city of Kunming, if the time drags on for a long time, Ma Rulong's defense in Guandu will be strengthened." ”

"It's okay! Let Ma Rulong repair the wall and fortress in Guandu, and when the artillery battalion behind our army comes, just blast it open. Li Xiongxiong said very stinkily, in fact, he also wanted to attack quickly, but Ma Rulong, this kid is not kind.

As soon as I heard that I was coming, I retreated again and again, causing the earlier plan to be completely nullified.

So just take a break, it's not easy to rush from Guizhou to Yunnan to come to his 7th regiment and Tao Sanchun's department!

The most important thing is that Yang Dongfang did not send him extra soldiers and horses, and he couldn't punch and rush if he wanted to.

Therefore, it is necessary to be careful in the calculation of troops.

Two days later, the artillery battalion arrived, the coalition army advanced, and arrived at Guandu, without saying a word about the bombardment.

The siege artillery was quite powerful, and soon made a gap, which caused Ma Rulong's subordinates to rush away, and the soldiers who had no intention of fighting retreated one after another.

Ma Rulong had no choice but to take people back to Sleepy Ming.
