Chapter 324 Under the "close cooperation" of His Majesty Ma, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang's goal was indeed achieved

For Ma Benyuan's things like eating and drinking that are not towards the master, it is absolutely intolerable. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network

On the day when he got the news of Ma Benyuan's "nest rebellion", the angry and corrupt Tuo Ming immediately mobilized people and horses to kill the ancient city violently, and he would never give up until Ma Benyuan was completely cleaned up.

At this time, the Taiping Red Army, which was in the limelight, seemed to be particularly willing to cooperate with the revenge action launched by Tuo Ming in the ancient city, and Liu Changlin and Dong Fuxiang, who were supposed to take advantage of the victory and continue to advance westward, actually stopped on the spot.

It turned out that Lin Fengxiang, who had just arrived in Hami with the Red Nineteenth Army, also got the news of Ma Benyuan's "nest rebellion".

Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang have a consensus, they believe that as long as the Red Army of the Celestial Empire has not threatened Tu Ming's nose, Tu Ming will never sit back and watch Ma Benyuan's arrogant behavior and ignore it.

Therefore, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang simply decided that Liu Changlin and Dong Fuxiang, who were in the spirit of progress, might as well slow down the pace of advance for the time being, and speed up the offensive against Turpan and Dihua, the key directions of westward expansion.

On 14 September, the Second Nationalities Army, commanded by Ma Zuowei and Lai Peiying, who had been in constant contact with the Hui rebel army in the line between the three rooms and the thirteen rooms, and had few big moves, began to advance westward in a big way. Behind them were the three divisions of Li Hongzao's Red Nineteenth Army led by Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang, and further back, there were the Red 2nd, 13th and 14th Red Army.

While fighting Ma Benyuan's ruthlessness, Tuo Ming obviously did not dare to "slacken" the "Han army" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which could be killed by Hami at any time, and Ma Ma, as the generalissimo of his "Halal State", was also sent by him to Turpan, which was about to become the first line, without hesitation, to compete with the Red Army of the Celestial Empire advancing westward.

Perhaps because they were used to fighting with Ma Zuowei and Lai Peiying's Second Nation Army, and did not suffer a large loss, although they also heard how miserable Ma Benyuan's "Xining gang" was defeated, but the Hui rebel army in the Turpan area still did not take the Celestial Red Army as too big at first.

However, when Ma Zuowei and Lai Peiying started to make a real move, the rebels in Turpan were immediately dumbfounded.

In the thirteen rooms, the more than 2,000 Turpan rebel troops who were on the back of the storm were killed and surrendered by Ma Zuowei and Lai Peiying's Second Nation Army in less than an hour.

Immediately afterwards, the rebel defenders of Qiktamu were also wiped out, and the eastern town of Turpan (now Shanshan) was completely under the severe blow of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and was in danger.

Ma Ma, who learned that Bizhan was in danger, on the one hand, strictly ordered Lukchak's defenders to go all out to reinforce Bizhan, and on the other hand, he immediately commanded more than 10,000 men and horses, and galloped out from Turpan, intending to first counter-encircle Ma Zuowei and Lai Peiying's Second Nation Army, which was "desperately" besieging Bizhan, and then come to join forces with the outside and annihilate the Second Nation Army under Bizhan City in one fell swoop.

However, whether it was the Hui rebel army from Lukchak or the reinforcements of Ma Ma's personal commander, they were all in the area close to the exhibition, and encountered a strong resistance from the Red Army of the Celestial Empire.

Especially on the way of His Majesty, as long as he climbs high and looks into the distance, with only a pair of naked eyes, he can cross the blocking line in front of him, and vaguely see the banners of the siege troops of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire and the noisy men and horses that are swaggering outside the city.

Ma Majesty was enraged, and Ma Majesty, who was enraged, was even more bloody. Damn, I don't believe it, you Han people with a little bit of fart are all beaten with iron

Therefore, Ma Ma, who did not believe in evil, continued to draw troops and horses from behind, and attacked this blocking line, which seemed to be only composed of two or three thousand people, for three days. But as a result, nothing was found.

However, it doesn't seem entirely correct to say that Ma Ma's majesty really got nothing. Because, in these three days, although Ma Ma's expectation did not get the kind of result, he got an unexpected gain, that is, from his two wings, the overwhelming soldiers of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire suddenly surged.

Or surround the point to send reinforcements.

In order to reduce the burden of attacking the city in the future, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang used Bizhan as a bait, the purpose of which was to wipe out more of the viable force of the rebel army in the wild.

Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang's plan was very simple, the Second National Army, reinforced by one division of the Red Nineteenth Army, would make a feint attack, and then the other two divisions of the Red Nineteenth Army would be responsible for blocking and reinforcing the enemy on two fronts, so as to buy time for the main force of the Red Second Army that came later.

With the "close cooperation" of His Majesty Ma, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang's goal was indeed achieved.

The nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses gathered before and after His Majesty Ma were swept away by the big iron tongs of Zhu Xikun's Red Second Army, which was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, and more than half of them were clamped away at once.

And the group that came from Lukchak is quite familiar with the rebel army. It was also after three consecutive days of unsuccessful impact that the rebel army was discouraged and scared, and no longer cared what it would be like, turned around and began to run back.

Although this group of rebels was lucky enough to temporarily avoid the fate of being hunted once, a few days later, they still became turtles in the urn in the lonely city of Lukchak. Only this time they were smarter, and when they saw the Red Army soldiers of the Celestial Empire approaching the city, and knew that the fate of the Rukchak city under their feet would be bound to be the same as the fate of Bizhan, they chose to surrender.

The saying that the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was good at encircling and sending reinforcements was not only in the Turpan area, but even in the whole of Xinjiang after that, it was also widely spread, so that whenever a city or fortress was trapped, it was hoped that there would be anyone outside who would dare to rescue it.

Therefore, when His Majesty Ma was surrounded in Turpan, the situation would naturally be no exception.

Although there are no reinforcements to fight, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang still have their own ways to play.

On September 27, Lin Fengxiang and Zuo Zongtang personally commanded the Second National Army, the Red Nineteenth Army, and the Red Second Army Corps to besiege Turpan.

Although Turpan had not yet fallen, Wei Yide's Red Thirteenth Army was still not involved in the war on Turpan's side at all, and began to sweep southwest. And after successively sweeping away the remnants of the Hui rebels in Toksan (now Tuoxun), Subashi and other places, they simply crossed the Borotu Mountains alone and entered Karasar.

At the same time, the Red Fourteenth Army commanded by Zou Guojian took the Baiyang River, swooped down on Jiade City, and directly threatened Dihua.
