Luo Yang continued to send real Hui troops to Ningxia, indeed reinforcements, mainly letters of encouragement, just Luo Yang's personal letter, sent three letters, advocating that Ningxia's Hui army has strong troops, can completely resist the Qing army Yunyun, and urged Ma Hualong, actively seek war, after the Qing army lifted the threat, send troops to reinforce Lanzhou,

In the letter, Luo Yang repeatedly emphasized the strength of the Ningxia Hui Army, despised the power of the Qing army, put on a posture of asking for others, and praised Ma Hualong, and also declared that if he could ensure that Ningxia was not chaotic and did not copy the back road of Huaxia Tian** for the Qing army, he would further enhance his official position in the future, and take Ningxia as an ethnic autonomous region and give him all kinds of independent powers.

These letters, in Jinji Fort, won a sound of shame, Ma Hualong always likes to read them aloud in front of the generals, and then, sneering: "Poor boy, too self-righteous. ”

The sensitive Ma Batiao reminded Ma Hualong not to fall for Luo Yang's strategy: "Is this kid playing some tricks, I always feel wrong." ”

Ma Hualong pondered for a while, and sneered: "What tricks can there be, they are concentrating their forces to seek Xining and Suzhou, where can they take care of us, besides, these men are still relatively loyal, and treat our brothers in Shaanxi, although after the blow, they can't bear to kill, and the brothers in Shaanxi are talking about their good, which shows that they are still very righteous." ”

Judging from various indications, it is true that the military victory of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom is considered to be the tactics of the sea of people plus the power of foreign artillery, for the Qing army, it is the tactics of the sea of people, and for the Hui army of Shaanxi, it is the tactics of foreign artillery.

"Well, the Great Sect Master is right, men have always been weak and benevolent, but there are also many sinister and cunning people." Ma Hachijo is still not at ease,

Ma Hualong is a smart and talented person, both civil and military, and it is rare to listen to other people's opinions, so he just laughed at it,

The terrain around Jinji Fort is too dangerous, no matter the north and south, there are a large number of fortress groups, in the west, there is the mouth of the Yellow River Bronze Gorge to cover, and in the east there is the mouth of the Qin and Han Dynasty two canals into the mountain, and there are also steep hills around, so it is easy to defend, even if the Qing army attacked the Jinji Fort, Ma Hualong is also confident that there is a way to hold on for several years, even if the Qing army has a number of foreign artillery bombardment, there are still foreign cannons in the fort to confront, foreign guns shooting, the Ningxia Hui Army, which has accumulated strength for a long time, is much stronger than the Shaanxi Hui Army in terms of equipment, because, Many of the officers who returned to the army were originally the Qing army in the locality, and they had a lot of equipment at their disposal.

According to the plan, Lan Chengchun's army launched an attack on Dong Jun, Dong Jun supported on the one hand, and called the police on the other, and the two armies had to play like entertainment, which naturally attracted the Ningxia Hui army, and soon, there were 3,000 Hui troops, reinforced to Dong Fuxiang's army, and Lan Chengchun's army confronted,

The three thousand Hui troops are all elite, and more than 1,200 are cavalry, fast speed, good skills, immediately shoot guns, make knives, first-class level, forming a huge threat to Lan Chengchun, Dong Fushen knows these people, and when he sees them, he sweats on his head,

That night, Dong Fuxiang's army sneaked up on the reinforcements of the Hui army, completely annihilated them, and none of them ran away, and the only one who could escape from the barracks was also chased and killed by thirty miles, and was finally killed.

This battle, well done, more than 1,000 people who were captured, tied up solidly, sent to Lan Chengchun's troops to grasp, Dong Fuxiang's army retreated to the west, lying that it was attacked by a large force of the Qing army, and the reinforcements of the Hui army were defeated, the whole army was wiped out, and their own troops were also seriously damaged.

Qiu Yuancai cut off the connection between the Ningxia Hui army from Yinchuan to Lingzhou and Wuzhongbao and Jinjibao in the Lingzhou area, and constantly launched small-scale attacks, which were of a disruptive nature, and maintained pressure, which still made the Ningxia Hui army worried.

Jinjibao's horse talk dragon, of course, was surprised, three thousand elites are not fun, there is not one left, he was furious, and immediately sent 20,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, several cannons, almost the strongest main force in the Jinjibao area, led by his son Ma Yaobang himself, to the Eastern Front to retaliate,

Those who were sent to Ningxia were sent to Ningxia in the ranks of secret agents, because of the promise of a heavy reward, because of the promise to the Shaanxi Hui army, especially the Hui army that Huaxia Tian ** surrendered to Shaanxi is good, and there is a system of regional ethnic autonomy, so that these people feel that Huaxia Tian is reliable,

Luo Yang personally sent the selected secret agents of the Hui army, and the task he got was quite acceptable: "The Hui Han family, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom treats Ningxia Ma Hualong quite leniently, but I don't worry about his loyalty, I hope you can continue to report the situation." ”

No Hui people are willing to accept the task of plotting against their own national brothers, but it is still good to be able to communicate relations in this way, and besides, notifying the Hui army to go east to crusade against the Qing army can not show Ma Hualong's loyalty,

Here, it can only be said that the kind Hui army was used by Luo Yang,

Not only did someone in Jinji Fort deliver the news to Luoyang, but Dong Fuxiang and Lan Chengchun's army also quickly dispatched cavalry to report to Luoyang.

According to the plan, Lan Chengchun's army was going to die in the east, so it strengthened Cao Kezhong's army, and now, Cao's army fled, and Lan Chengchun's army was of course weak, so Luo Yang quickly ordered the Huaxia Army stationed in Xi'an and Lintong, and sent a cavalry regiment of 1,500 that had just been trained into the army, as the advance team, and 5,000 other infantry artillery, with Liang Chengfu as the main general, to quickly reinforce Lan Chengfu, because he was worried about the lack of strength, Luo Yang ordered Zeng Shihe to send two brigades of 7,000 people to the north,

The vanguard troops, still waving the banner of the Qing army,

Ma Hualong of Jinji Fort also reported the battle situation in the east to Luo Yang in a high-sounding manner, but only reduced the scale of the losses in the battle, exaggerated the strength and equipment of the Qing army, and swore that he could win.

Luo Yang immediately seized the opportunity and claimed that he would send 3,000 troops from the northwest of Shaanxi to intercept the Qing army that was disturbing Jinjibao and cooperate with the Ningxia Hui army.

The dispatch of such troops is to continue to show weakness, indicating that the Luoyang army is weak on the one hand and on the other hand to prevent the crusade of the Qing army in the east, and it is really incapable of posing a threat to the Ningxia Hui army.

However, at this time, Luo Yang had already stretched out his strong minions and was about to move towards the impregnable Golden Fort.

He resolutely avoided the idea of a bloody battle to the death, but in a conspiratorial and skillful way of layout, opened the situation, and then, suddenly, attacked,

In order to show his concern for the Ningxia Hui Army, Luo Yang said that he would send another 300 Hui soldiers from his own army to reinforce Ningxia, and at the same time attach 100 artillery and carry five powerful foreign cannons.

Such a condition, the Ningxia military envoy first refused, but seeing that Luo Yang was very stubborn, he compromised.

The military envoy walked in front, and the follow-up Hui army rushed to follow, and he was the contact person in the lead, more than 20 people, a question, and the answer was like a stream, it was indeed a Hui person.
