Luo Yang's method is also very surprising, first tens of thousands of troops, assembled, steady advance, suddenly, the strongest firepower, under his leadership, suddenly fierce march, directly attack Dongxiang Town, surprise, so that the Hui army can not defend, and when it comes to the battle inside and outside the town, Ma Zhanao's opportunity to play tricks has been lost, and the method of large-scale attack with horse teams on the march has not worked,

Because the location of Dongxiang Township is particularly prominent, forcing Ma Zhanao's army to shrink in an all-round way, so the officers and soldiers of the rest of the departments also marched quickly and came to the front line of Dongxiang to confront the enemy.

The weather is very cold, Gansu is a place, dripping into ice, and from time to time there is a howling wind, sweeping up the dust on the ground, covering the entire canopy.

With Dongxiang Township as the central axis, tens of thousands of horses and horses of Huaxia Tian** traversed and covered, trapping Ma Zhanao's troops firmly in the narrow areas around Hezhou and in the west and south.

During this period, the Luoyang troops also began to investigate the local situation, according to the archives of Lanzhou provincial officials, collected and checked the population of various states and counties in the Hezhou area, and found that the population losses in various places were extremely alarming.

There are remnants of the Han people in all counties, but the vast majority of them were spared in the capacity of followers, and the few who did not follow the religion were left in the barren mountains and mountains, and the Huaxia army troops ran everywhere and searched, and in some counties, they barely found a few hundred people, of course, there were also some Han people, who fled to the interior, or fled to the Xining area, and even to the Tibetan areas in the south.

The sight of the village being burned, the people being slaughtered, and the barren fields deeply stimulated Luo Yang and the officers and soldiers under his command, and everyone was full of hatred for the murderous genocide executioner like Ma Zhanao in Hezhou.

On the night of the second day of the occupation of Dongxiang, on the left side of the Lan Chengchun army of the Huaxia army, a group of Hui troops were lurking and waiting, and in the distance, Ma Zhanao was discussing with several imam leaders and others, many people felt that it was too risky, and advocated retreating and fleeing to Xining.

"Hmph, whoever wants to run away, he will run away by himself, don't win me over." Ma Zhanao said sharply,

"But, Commander, you have to think about it, Huaxia Tian's firepower is too fierce, we can't beat it." An imam said,

"Yes, yes, we don't have foreign guns and cannons, and we don't have the kind of thing that explodes when we throw it, we just hit people's guns with human flesh." Another leader said,

More than 30 leaders, seven or eight out of ten, all advocated fleeing, "Commander, big imam, we can't resist others, go for the best plan, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood." ”

"Yes, yes, the big imam, the big commander, you have to think about our whole clan, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Hezhou, if you hold on, I'm worried that our whole clan will die here."

In the darkness, a man roared angrily, "No breath." ”

"You."

It was Bai Yanhu, the marshal of the Hui Army who fled from Shaanxi who was defeated, and he hissed: "You want to live, you don't think about it, you can still live, how much Han blood has been stained on our hands, they can spare us, I'm afraid, we surrender on the front foot, and on the back foot, people will tie us up and split us, not to mention us, even if we are all the clansmen, we may not be able to escape one person, surrender is looking for death." ”

Bai Yanhu's words made many people dissatisfied, but everyone has experienced the matter of racial vendetta, and everyone is worried about being retaliated against by the Han regime.

Ma Zhanao stopped everyone's argument and said loudly: "You don't know, judging from the current situation of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom's use of troops, I think that we have absolutely no chance to win, and in the end, there is only one dead word, and it will also affect all the people of Hezhou, and they will all die." ”

Neither ran away, nor surrendered, and knew that he was not an opponent, what was he going to do, all the generals of the Hui army were inexplicable, and some even suspected that they were confused about defeating the battle.

"Don't believe it, do you know Ningxia Jinji Fort, Ma Hualong is a capable person, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite people under his command, how about it."

"Commander, we haven't heard from him yet." Some people questioned,

"Hmph, this still needs to be asked, if Ma Hualong is still there, Huaxia Tian** dares to advance step by step like this, regardless of the back, is it possible that Huaxia Jun bullied us like this, he didn't know about rescue." Ma Zhanao said sadly,

Thinking that the mighty Ningxia Ma Hualong troops had been defeated, everyone gasped.

"Hmph." Faced with questioning, Ma Zhanao sneered several times: "We only have one way out of surrender." ”

Bai Yanhu was shocked: "Commander, how can you be like this." ”

Ma Zhanao analyzed all kinds of situations and concluded that if he continued to fight hard, Hezhou would be flattened by Huaxia Tian**, and all the Hui troops in Hezhou would also be sacked by the Han army, and perhaps, they would be exterminated.

"We must not escape, where can we escape, so many people, dragging their families and mouths, I'm afraid they can't escape for a thousand miles, even freezing and starving, half of them will die, escape is a dead end, fighting is also a dead end, so, only surrender."

Ma Zhanao repeatedly analyzed the situation to everyone, and in the process of narrating, many Hui generals became more and more pessimistic and cried bitterly.

In fact, in the battles of Guanghe and Dongxiang, the Hui army suffered heavy casualties, and almost every family brought filial piety.

"Commander, you can guarantee that the Han people will not kill us and will not retaliate." The desperate generals of the Hui army began to worry about the problem of reality, the firepower of the Huaxia army, prudence, and proper tactics did make every Hui army general witness the severity of the enemy.

Between the words, Bai Yanhu was indignant, turned around and left, Ma Zhanao and others, couldn't hold back, only heard the sound of horses' hooves, hundreds of war horses had left, with some family members, thousands of followers, Bai Yanhu broke away from Hezhou, Gansu, and turned to Xining, Qinghai,

"This reckless man, escape, where can you escape, look at the power of Huaxia Tian**, I'm afraid that wherever you flee, you will be caught up and cut off your brain." Ma Zhanao sneered at Bai Yanhu's voice of escape, "Don't worry, everyone, I have a good way to live." ”

"Then you say, as long as there is a glimmer of life, we will listen to you."

"Hmph, if we want people to leave us a way to live, we have to show our skills and let people know that we are still of some use to others." Ma Zhanao pulled out his saber from his waist: "A leper dog, people are disgusting when they stew and eat your meat, a big wolf dog, who doesn't want to keep a family and take care of the yard, you say, are we a leper dog or a big wolf dog." ”

"Be a big wolfdog." Although everyone felt that the theme of dogs was a bit blasphemous to the rules, everyone quickly understood the meaning.

"Well, tonight, we will show our wolf teeth, bite them fiercely, let them know that our surrender is to affirm the righteousness, to know the courtesy, not to be afraid of them, listen, if we want to live, we want to keep the descendants, let the whole clan die in Gansu, just listen to me, tonight, fight to the death, fight to the death, even if we all fight out, as long as we can let the old and young women be forgiven, it is worth it."

Late at night, outside the Huaxia military camp forty miles east of Dongxiang Town, a piece of black tide was surging, and on the fourth watch, these people had been ambushed to a place of 100 meters, and suddenly, several horns and cannons burst out, countless torches were ignited instantly, and thousands of returning troops rushed towards Lan Chengchun's military camp.
