If the Shaanxi Hui Army led by Ren Wu is compared to a swarm of raging locusts, it is absolutely not wronged against them, and Ma Deyuan, as the vanguard, is even more vicious. Everywhere Ma Deyuan went, he burned, killed and looted, villages were razed to the ground, and fresh lives were turned into unjust souls under their hands.

In a town called "Taiping", with hundreds of households, although some people fled the town with advance warning, many more people who had not really tried the dehumanizing atrocities of the Shaanxi Hui Army either harbored naïve illusions or were reluctant to leave their homes, even for a moment.

The bandits are coming. They stayed here for only half the night, when the precious water stored in the cellars of all the houses in the town was emptied, and the water cellars on which the people depended were replaced with the urine and feces of wild beasts. With their departure, the fire that lit up the night sky and the lives of thousands of people were instantly wiped out. In a market town of Nuoda, the only one who survived the disaster was a blacksmith shop, because he happened to be surnamed Ma, and the sign of "Ma's blacksmith shop" made the cruel thugs mistakenly think that this was a return.

The long march was very hard, let alone on this dry Loess Plateau, but this non-stop killing, the large bags of loot, and the blood splashed everywhere brought endless pleasure to the Hui army, and almost forgot about the fatigue. It is precisely because of this that when approaching the county seat of Huining and seeing the crowds of people fleeing to the city with the old and the young, a horse team at the outpost did not think about it, and roared and pounced.

Ma Deyuan was a little late, and what he saw was something he didn't want to see. A few miles away, the gate of Huining City was closed, and the city wall was crowded, unlike in the past, the Taiping Red Army here did not have any scruples and softness towards them, and the one hundred and ten cavalrymen who wanted to make a big profit in the vanguard were beaten in front of the iron fist of the Red Army covering the retreat of the people, and the wolves returned.

Looking at the dozens of crippled soldiers with gray faces, and then looking at the Ma Zhanao Department that should not have appeared in the west of Huining City according to the predetermined plan, Ma Deyuan was furious. When his men handed over a letter they had picked up on the battlefield where the battle had just taken place, his fire was even greater. The imam, who was literate with the army, told him that it was a letter sent by Qin Rigang from Huining to the old nest of Gongchang Mansion, in which he warned his Gongchang Mansion guards that the Shaanxi Hui Army had made a big effort to rescue and stabilize the original plain, and beware of what the Shaanxi Hui Army might take by surprise, encircling Wei to save Zhao, etc., and at the same time asked Gongchang Mansion to immediately send an elite army to Huining to escort him.

What is "surprise" and what is "encircling Wei to save Zhao" Ma Deyuan doesn't know, but he knows who Qin Rigang is. Whoever comes from Shaanxi, there is no one who does not know Qin Rigang, the "king of Hades".

After listening to the imam's half-understanding explanation, Ma Deyuan was happy. The gate of Huining City was closed, and Qin Rigang, the "King of Hades", did not dare to take advantage of the great opportunity of his return army to come from afar, and the army was weak to go out of the city to meet the battle, Ma Deyuan didn't need to think about it, he understood that there must not be many defenders in the city. Qin Rigang, Lao Tzu just wants to surprise you!

"As long as you break Huining City and capture the King of Qin Yama alive, you can enjoy killing and grabbing comfortably!" Ma Deyuan didn't even have the idea of sending someone to contact Ma Zhanao, so he gave an order and started a fierce attack on Huining.

Easier said than done. For Ma Deyuan, Huining City is simply an impregnable wall, and after two rounds of offensives, all the dead and wounded under the city are his subordinates. There was no longer the arrogance of not long ago, and there was no longer the courage of the world, and when he wanted to find a place to go down, he didn't even dare to approach the city of Huining, which was still rising with gunsmoke.

When Ren Wu heard this, he sat on the clay kang made of the loess adobe and stuffed his head for a long time. Soon, he was relieved again. Alas, this Ma Deyuan is really careless, no matter how strong our men and horses are, there are no cannons or anything like that, and we must pay attention to ways and methods to attack the city. The old and young masters are all as tired as the third grandson, and at this time, they are competing with Qin Rigang, looking for death.

"Tell the brothers," Ren Wu raised his head, looked at the few team commanders in the room, and smiled lightly, "It's getting dark, let's rest all night, recuperate enough spirits, and talk about something tomorrow." Thinking of this, Ren Wu stood up and commanded, "Tell Ma Deyuan to immediately send someone to contact Ma Zhanao, that bastard, if the rescue is delayed, Lao Tzu and his new accounts will be counted together." ”

Qin Rigang is really in Huining City, of course, the so-called letter picked up on the battlefield is just specially left for Ren Wu, just to let Ren Wu rest assured, the main force of the Red Army is focused on stability, and there is no large force of the Red Army around him, so he can rest at ease. In fact, the three divisions of the Red Nineteenth Army had already been deployed to Huining City and the east bank of the Zuli River. So, when Ren Wu began to rest for a night in a down-to-earth manner, fantasizing about something to talk about tomorrow, Qin Rigang was busy with full spirit.

After the Red Thirteenth Army on the side of Anding City made a mess of Mu Tushan, only one division and the mobilized people's forces had already regarded Mu Tushan as honest, and the main force of the Red Thirteenth Army successively entered the predetermined areas north of Huining, intercepting Ma Zhanao's department and monitoring the direction of Lanzhou Mansion. And the main force of the Red Eighteenth Army also went out of Tongwei and approached the left flank of Ren Wu's main force, and what made Ren Wu absolutely even more unexpected was that a division of the Red Eighteenth Army followed behind his mighty marching army and followed all the way from Jingning.

From the bottom of his heart, Qin Rigang still admires the personal combat effectiveness of these Shaanxi rioters. The harsh climate of the Loess Plateau, the lifestyle of eating beef and mutton, and the custom of advocating martial arts, have created their strong bodies. Compared with their own soldiers, if it is really a one-on-one battle, I am afraid that although their soldiers are brave, they may not be able to take advantage of them. Take this small encounter before dusk as an example, more than 100 riot cavalry who had traveled a long distance were only more than half lost under the attack of a battalion of Red Army, and were not completely eaten.

However, after all, an army is an army, and the ability to fight alone is needed, and strategy and tactics are more important. Since entering the Guanzhong, he has dealt with these riots the most, and is deeply aware of the weaknesses of these rabble. They are unwilling to cooperate with each other, especially the Hui army in Gansu, which basically sits idly by and ignores the Hui army in Shaanxi, and in addition, they do not have enough time to conduct overall training in the real sense, so the current Hui army cannot be regarded as an army. Of course, he also knew that if they didn't dispose of these miscellaneous pieces in time, once they were more fully prepared, it would undoubtedly pose a heavy threat to the Celestial Empire's future strategy in the northwest.

In the middle of the night, Qin Rigang, who was busy and finished, climbed to the top of the city, holding the city wall with both hands, and looked at the faint lights from the Ma Deyuan military camp more than ten miles away. The big war was imminent, and his face was filled with irrepressible joy. Unconsciously, his mind remembered the instructions sent by the counterinsurgency headquarters, as well as the announcement of the Celestial Empire's counterinsurgency that was about to be issued to Guyuan, Ningxia and other places.

“…… All Hui soldiers who are able to surrender to the Red Army of the Celestial Empire on their own initiative from the date of the issuance of this proclamation may be resettled on the spot without any blame. Those who continue to resist to the end will be killed, and the remaining family members will no longer be allowed to reside in Shaanxi and Gansu, and will all be resettled in the areas designated by the Celestial Government, and will not be allowed to ......return to live in groups with others from now on."

This announcement is good, but will anyone listen to it? Qin Rigang sighed, what the hell is the place to be, just cut the grass and eradicate the roots. Thinking of this, he smiled again.

"Click......" There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the streets, which was particularly loud in this quiet night.

"Mr. Qin, there is a reply from the Red Thirteenth Army."

This is a letter from the 13th Army of Ma Zhanaotong Guò, which departed from the new camp and the old camp (now Xiji), west of Guyuan, and has now stalled forty miles northeast of Huining. In the letter, Ma Zhanao made it clear that his more than 10,000 men and horses would never participate in Ren Wu's hostile operations against the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. At the same time, he also implored the Celestial Empire, as more and more of his subordinates missed their homeland, hoping that the Celestial Red Army would be lenient and allow them to return to their homeland. If the Red Army of the Celestial Empire agrees, they will lay down their arms and serve the people again, in order to show their sincerity, Ma Zhanao also expressed in his letter with great sincerity that he himself is willing to bring his family into Huining as a hostage.
