Chapter 174: Attack on River State

Rows of Hui soldiers, lying in the cold wilderness, the dark surroundings, unable to see their faces and feelings, only the heavy breathing, trembling teeth, exposed their location, because it was too cold, the saber wrapped in the cloth could not be mastered for a long time, only temporarily put down, pinch hands to warm for a while,

"Why hasn't Huaxia Army come yet?" A childish voice asked, "I'm freezing to death." ”

"Don't worry, our great commander is clever, the Huaxia army will definitely come, hmph, as soon as they come, we will cut them all down." Another veteran comforted him,

Nearly a thousand iron cavalry of the returning army are also waiting anxiously in the cold wind, as long as the reinforcements of the Huaxia army arrive, they will trample them like a storm sweeping away leaves, trampling them to the point that there is not a single hair left.

The war horses sneezed uneasily, and from time to time they shaved their hooves on the ground, and the smell of horses came strongly, making some cavalrymen cough.

"These cowardly Chinese thieves."

50,000 ambush soldiers, more than 1,000 of the most elite troops, isolated in the west of Lan Chengchun's army, have the strength to completely wipe out any Huaxia Tian** who dares to come to reinforce, although the return army will also pay a heavy price,

In the night, the troops on the march, even if you have powerful fire equipment, are still your weakest,

However, none of this happened, the Hui troops who were ambushed here lay on the ground almost in vain overnight, and the cold weather was too cold, and even dozens of weak and sick soldiers froze to death.

On the fifth watch, at a huge cost, after consuming the explosives and grenades of Lan Chengchun's army, the Hui army finally rushed into the barracks of the Huaxia Army under the personal command and leadership of Ma Zhanao, and occupied all the peripheries.

It's a pity that they can't end the battle, because the enemy actually set up a new battalion in the barracks, although the high soil fence is not strong, but there is a trench dug after grabbing, and there is water in the trench for irrigation.

Also, on the wall that is a handful high, there is also water, and all of it is frozen, and as a result, the slippery one is called a slippery, that is, you feel slippery when you touch it, let alone you climb.

Ma Zhanao was angry,

In fact, Lan Chengchun was angry, and he asked the officers and soldiers to irrigate all the outer trenches with ice water, but the officers and soldiers were troublesome and did not implement it seriously, otherwise, the Hui army might not even be able to rush the first trench.

The Hui army couldn't attack again at all, so they could only jump to their feet in anger and scold,

After hesitating until dawn, Ma Zhanao came up with an idea, ordered to use a lighted torch, pile it into the trench, and then send men to jump in front of the wall, there was fire, and at the same time, he ordered all the poetry of the battle to be killed, whether it was the Hui army's own or the Huaxia army, all carried to fill the ditch, wanting to fill the ditch, piled up like a mountain, straight over the wall,

The corpse was already cold, frozen as hard as iron, and indeed a good pile,

However, Lan Chengchun's army has a way, using an iron spear to kill, using an arrow and crossbow to hunt, as well as bricks and stones, and even frozen soil to smash around, can make the enemy scream.

After dawn, the Hui army was still struggling to fight, hoping to destroy this enemy.

After a night of fierce fighting, more than half of the Hui army was killed and wounded, and Lan Chengchun's army also lost more than 4,000 losses, but in the more dense fortress in the barracks, the Huaxia army was more densely arranged, and no matter how many the Hui army was, they could only rush in rows, so they could only find death.

At the same time, in Hezhou, 7,000 soldiers and horses led by Luo Yang himself had made a detour, and before dawn, they rushed here, in order to avoid the reconnaissance of the rangers of the returning army, they went around quite hard, almost more than 80 miles, but finally avoided the trace of the enemy, and at dawn, rushed to the southwest of Hezhou City,

In Hezhou, the city gate was closed, and the Hui soldiers guarding the guards watched the situation nervously, and the few soldiers, many children and the elderly, and even women, holding sticks and other objects, were holding on and waiting for the news of victory.

In order to decide the battle, Ma Zhanao showed almost all of his family background, and hundreds of thousands of Hui troops flocked out, the eastern front, so, in the city of Hezhou, actually sang the empty city plan,

This was done because of Luo Yangjun's cautious approach and slow marching speed, which gave him the illusion,

The bold and careful Ma Zhanao, indeed on the northern front, still retains more than 20,000 troops, although it is not the most elite, at night, to suddenly attack the Huaxia army that came to sneak attack, it is absolutely effective,

The banner in front, dressed up, was all the costume of the Hui army, and rushed to the front of the Luoyang army under the city wall, calling for Kaecheng,

"Who the hell are you guys?"

"We are brothers in Xining, and we heard that the thieves were disturbing, so we came to the rescue."

"Then, what credentials do you have, oh, what do you say is the name of the great imam of Xining."

The Hui army in the city, put forward a lot of problems, all of which were resolved one by one, these problems, raised by ordinary Hui officers and soldiers, there is no depth, there is no intellectual difficulty, similar knowledge, has long been discussed, this period of time in Lanzhou, Huaxia Tianguo Army's understanding of the Xining Hui Army, many through the surrender of the Shaanxi Hui Army to explore,

After hesitating for a while, the Hui army opened the city, and the Xining Hui army cavalry of more than 1,000 people swaggered forward.

Of course, after entering the city, they quickly occupied the main site, and then, planting their flags,

Soon, the infantry of the "Hui Army" troops, which followed, opened one after another, and then the troops of Huaxia Tian**,

The nervous Hezhou Hui army found the enemy and was about to resist, when the knife was on the neck......

The entire Hezhou has become the plaything in the palm of Luoyangjun's hand,

The occupation of Hezhou was too easy, so Luo Yang was not overjoyed, his consistent thinking was that the annihilation of the enemy's living force was really decisive, so those generals were once again educated,

The Hui army in the city put up a stubborn resistance, especially the remnants of the elite Hui army, although there were only a few hundred people, but there was no way to fight to the death, and the Huaxia army had to annihilate it.

Using the range of foreign guns, using grenades, those men barely resisted for twenty minutes,

A group of women rushed up with sticks in their hands, but they were seized by dividing them by two, and at the same time, they knocked them down and released them: "I'm sorry, you are prisoners of war now, please stand still, or go back to your own home, we won't kill prisoners, we won't abuse women, don't force us." ”

Under the tremendous combat effectiveness and gentle attitude, all the captured people in Hezhou City were treated well, and the Chinese officers and soldiers repeatedly declared to them that they would protect the safety of their lives and property, "because we are not bandits." ”

Unbelievably returned to his home, all the families of the Hui soldiers in Hezhou City are waiting for the verdict of fate,

The reason why Hezhou City is important, not only political significance, but also military significance, here, almost all the weapons and equipment of the Gansu Ma Zhanao Hui Army, food, and the families of important people, are concentrated here, after a year of hard fighting, Ma Zhanao expelled the Qing army, and established this place as his own military and political base,
