Chapter 175: Facing Blows

After taking Ma Zhanao's nest, the Luoyang army firmly established a military base in Hezhou, did a good job of adequate defense, and at the same time, deported all the women and children home, and then detained them together to ensure the safety of their lives and property, but they were required to cooperate with tacit understanding.

"We are here to quell the rebellion, to encircle and suppress the bandits, hooligans, and rebel forces who wantonly commit genocide, not to all the Hui brothers, you are civilians, and you will be treated by us best."

After some comfort, they persuaded them, hoping that these people would be able to persuade their husbands and relatives to break away from the rebels.

Silence, silence, continuous silence shows that these people have a serious distrust of Huaxia Tian**, which also determines Luo Yang's next step, originally, he planned to use these women and children, old people, etc., to shout in front of the position and disintegrate the hearts of the Hui army, now, I am afraid it is difficult to do this,

"King Rui, they don't say, hmph, we also have a way." Several generals put forward vicious suggestions, for example, tens of thousands of family members of the Hui army, take out thousands, and tie them up until the two armies are in front of the formation, I am afraid that the Hui army will not be afraid, even if some are stubborn, most of them will be weak and slack,

This method is not bad, in the face of tens of thousands of tenacious Hui troops, it is still feasible, but Luo Yang feels that it will be difficult to end the war in this way, and second, the Hui army, which has preserved its absolute strength, will have the possibility of repeated rebellions, so he came up with a new method,

Only a team of 1,000 people defended the city, and the remaining 7,000 people, in the area north of the city, found a withered river, immediately dug in the back, cut off the road, and made fortifications, which is easy to say, but difficult to do, in the deep tundra, you need to see a sharp iron spear pierced into the soil, ** pry up the clods,

In any case, no matter how simple the fortifications are, they are quickly completed, especially the artillery, the most powerful force of the Luoyang troops is the artillery, an artillery regiment, one hundred and fifty flying thunder guns, what concept, almost several columns in the trenches, facing the enemy, forming a dense level of strike force,

More than 300 cavalry troops, dressed as the Xining Hui army, escorted hundreds of women of the Hui army, all sideways in front of their horses, and had marched to the east before the fortifications were almost disposed of.

Ma Zhanao, who could not win the bitter battle, lamented repeatedly, looked at the small fortified fortress for the last time, and shouted in distress: "Retreat, retreat, return to Hezhou immediately." ”

Anger and frustration made this group of Hui troops collapse, some people shouted frantically, and some people cried at the corpses of their loved ones.

More than 80,000 Hui troops, after a night of siege, although they broke through the periphery, but in the end did not destroy this stubborn enemy, although they did not count the losses, nor did they count the results, Ma Zhanao knew that he had failed, the failure was very miserable, very thorough, almost no strength to launch an attack of such a scale again, and there was no prestige to command the Hui troops and horses in Hezhou again, the saber in his hand, several times he raised it, pointed to his neck, and finally gave up, he was not afraid of death, but felt, it was not time to die, There are many things to be done for him,

"Commander, Hezhou urgent, urgent." Several soldiers stumbled in, crying,

"What's wrong?" Ma Zhanao was taken aback, Hezhou was what he was most worried about.

"The commander, the people of Xining, have robbed our Hezhou and sent people to force us to obey their command."

"Ahh

There was no one, but a letter, the periphery Hui cavalry who were patrolling, encountered a few people in Hui military uniforms coming from the direction of Hezhou, failed to approach, they shouted a few words, shot letters, and retreated hastily,

Ma Zhanao read the letter, and immediately became angry: "These eight lambs of the king, falling into the well, stabbing in the back, shameless. ”

As soon as they heard that the Xining Hui army came to attack and took control of Hezhou, the anger boiled in the chests of all the Hui officers and soldiers, far more intense than the attack of the Huaxia army, what they hated was that the same Hui army, not only did you not help, but attacked behind the back, it was too hateful,

In anger, almost without the command of Ma Zhanao, thousands of Hui troops rushed towards their hometown in Hezhou with their guys, desperately trying to settle accounts with the Hui army in Xining.

Along the way, although Ma Zhanao realized that the problem was very strange, everyone no longer listened to his command, the night battle failed, and his military prestige had been exhausted.

Lan Chengchun stood on a high place and looked at the enemy army, and found the enemy's retreating formation, and immediately sent five hundred cavalry out of the fortress to chase, although it had no effect, he still grabbed and slashed, annihilating more than a thousand Hui troops,

Ambushed in the west of Lan Chengchun's army, cutting off the reinforcements of the returning army, seeing that the sky was bright, he knew that he had failed, so he could only turn around and retreat,

The rest of the Huaxia Tian**, all looking at the barracks, also looking forward to the timing of the battle, Luo Yang had an agreement, heard the cannon in the south, and killed it together,

The restless war horses were already whistling in the military trough, and several troops with thousands of cavalry were ready for an emergency attack, especially the Tao Maolin army, after suffering an attack and heavy casualties, the officers and soldiers were eager to retaliate, and the mood was particularly intense,

Luo Yang personally waited in front of the fortifications, waiting for the endless and steady stream of returning troops, only to see these people, galloping like a gust of wind, the cavalry in front, and the infantry could not see the shadow,

But the withered river obscured the way, and then a new ravine lay in front of them, and when the cavalry of the Hui army saw it, they had to dismount and come vigilantly.

Some Hui troops have discovered the problem and shouted loudly,

The Huaxia army should not, waiting, for a long time, there are only dozens of people, in the attire of the Xining army, shouted loudly, demanding that all the Hecongee Ma Zhanao army surrender: "Listen, surrender immediately, listen to the command of our Xining Generalissimo, and call you Ma Zhanao." ”

Hearing it clearly, these Hui soldiers in Hezhou are angry,

There were not many cavalry, and the battle in the ravines was unfavorable, so they had to wait, and soon, a large group of infantry of the Hui army had arrived, and immediately, who made a noise, and without waiting for Ma Zhanao to arrive, they launched a battle,

The Hui army is anxious to rescue the family, and the ferocity of the battle is incomparable,

The overwhelming Hui infantry was hindered in front of the ravine, so they hesitated to attack at a faster pace, which also caused the entire team to form a crowded and blocked situation.

The artillery that grabbed the fighter plane immediately bombarded, and more than a hundred explosive packets flew into the sky and smashed into the crowd of the Hui army.

The sound of explosions, the smoke of gunpowder, the flesh and blood flying, and the remnants of many human bodies, because of the high-speed splashing, became new combat weapons, killing and injuring the rest.

Almost every explosive bag can knock down a hundred and ten enemies, although some of them are unconscious, and they have also lost their combat effectiveness.

When Ma Zhanao arrived at the fierce battle, half of the elite 80,000 troops of the main force of the Hui army had been killed and wounded in the battle besieging Lan Chengchun's army, and now, the remaining 40,000 people had been defeated more than half.

The crazy Hui army is still charging, no, it can only be said that it is struggling in a pool of blood, committing suicide,

Ma Zhanao, a shrewd and capable character, screamed in anger, vomited blood, and passed out.
