Chapter Fifty-Eight: Soldiers Coming to Maqin

"Boom! Rumble! "One after another, the shells exploded in the ranks of the cavalry who were charging at high speed, and the strong wave of air that erupted threw those cavalrymen high, and the flying shrapnel shot them mercilessly.

When the artillery battalion of the Western Sichuan Army dispatched two Type 2 infantry guns aimed at Gu Hongqiang and his henchmen, their outcome was already decided. One shell after another, tearing apart their bodies and sending them into the arms of Allah.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded next to Gu Hongqiang, and he suddenly felt that he was thrown into the air, and the war horse under his crotch had already fallen to the ground with a wail. With a "bang", he fell to the ground, feeling a pain in his chest, and saw blood gushing out of his chest like a spring. He wanted to scream, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't make any sound, so he could only stare helplessly at the blue sky until his eyes lost their brightness.

Under the blow of the superior firepower of the western Sichuan army, the cavalry of the six battalions that went south from Maqin to support Yushu suffered heavy casualties, and all those who wanted to resist were all shot mercilessly, and the rest of the people were lying on the ground with their heads in their hands and shivering.

Five minutes later, the Western Sichuan Army stopped firing, and after the smoke cleared, the entire valley of Bisongou had become a hellish scene. Everywhere there were stumps and broken arms, and crimson blood flowed through the valleys, converging into streams, and the ownerless horses wandered in confusion or wailed in front of their early dead masters.

"The battle is over, and we're victorious. It's just that the ammunition consumption seems to be a bit large! Cai Yun put down the binoculars in his hand and said with some interest, as if he thought that this battle was too simple.

"Uncle Cai, it is already very rare to be able to annihilate the six thousand Qingma Army with such small casualties. Although the consumption of ammunition is relatively large, the life of a soldier is always the most important. Besides, the prisoners below are of great use to us, and the Eleventh Brigade is still waiting for these people to replenish them! Wang Yuze said. When there were only the two of them, he was always called Uncle Cai Yuncai. This will bring them closer together. Cai Yun is a very capable person, after Wang Yuze comes and unifies the whole country in the future, the position of Minister of Defense is none other than Cai Yun!

"Hmmm! Let them order the Green Horse Army to surrender! Cai Yun nodded. Wang Yuze was able to attach so much importance to the lives of soldiers, which made him very satisfied. After all, who doesn't want to be a soldier and want to have a commander who loves his soldiers like a son? And now, Wang Yuze's expression is undoubtedly very appreciated by Cai Yun. This also made Cai Yun feel that Wang Yuze's inheritance of western Sichuan would be the best choice.

"Listen to the Green Horse Army below, lay down your arms and surrender, spare you from dying!" Suddenly, from the mountain wall next to the valley, a voice was heard.

"Shoot or kill!" Subsequently, the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army in the mountains and forests on the mountain wall shouted one after another, and the sound resounded throughout the Bison Valley.

The remaining soldiers of the Green Horse Army did not move, and looked at their commander in unison. Now, Gu Hongqiang has been killed, and among the surviving Qingma Army, the commander of the ninth battalion, Lu Yuanqing, has the highest official position.

"Brother Lu, whether to fight or surrender, you decide!" Several other battalion commanders spoke one after another, handing over the decision to Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing smiled helplessly, he didn't know what kind of thoughts these people were thinking. If the Western Sichuan Army fails in the end, the people who made the surrender are Lu Yuanqing, and they have no responsibility.

"War? What kind of war? Waiting to be slaughtered by the Western Sichuan Army? Lu Yuanqing had a sarcastic smile on his face.

The other battalion commanders suddenly stopped talking. It's not that they don't know that if they keep fighting, they will also have no way to live. It's just that in order to be able to shirk responsibility in the future, the decision was handed over to Lu Yuanqing.

"For our own lives, and for the lives of many soldiers. Let's go down! Lu Yuanqing sighed and said helplessly.

"It's down, we're down!" The battalion commanders immediately shouted loudly. With a relieved look on his face, he surrendered, and he didn't have to die. Even if they are held accountable in the end, it has nothing to do with them, it's the best of both worlds!

Those soldiers of the Qingma Army, who were originally confused, also shouted after hearing such an order, and their faces were full of surprise for the rest of their lives.

Later, some soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army went down to the valley, collected all the weapons of the captives, and then took them under control. According to the last count, there were more than 5,000 captured soldiers of the Tsing Ma Army, and less than 1,000 were killed in the battle. However, among these captives were hundreds of seriously wounded. It is estimated that these seriously injured captives, even with simple treatment, will not survive. However, war is like this, and if there is war, people will inevitably die. The Western Sichuan Army was able to treat them simply, and it was already benevolent and righteous.

The losses of the Western Sichuan Army were negligible, and in this battle, only two unlucky soldiers were killed by stray bullets, and only a few were slightly injured, and no were seriously injured. Such battle damage is undoubtedly extremely staggering.

Next, clean up the battlefield and bury all the corpses to avoid a plague or something like that when the temperature gets hotter and hotter. By the time this qiē was over, it was already evening.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from the south. However, it was not the enemy who came, but the people of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army. When they heard that the Western Sichuan Army and the Qingma Army were fighting in Yeniugou, they immediately rushed over. However, they were obviously still late, the battle was already over, and the western Sichuan army once again achieved a big victory.

"Young marshal, chief of staff, the battle is over?" Ma Qi asked with a look of surprise. Originally, he came in a hurry with the 11th Brigade, hoping to participate in the battle of sweeping the tail! Unexpectedly, when I arrived, the battle had already ended, and even the battlefield had been cleaned up.

"It's over! You're late! Wang Yuze said with a smile.

"Young marshal, how are the results?" Ma Yuntao asked.

"The 10th Brigade lost two men and annihilated more than 6,000 enemies. Among them, more than 5,000 people were captured, and more than 4,000 people could be reorganized! Cai Yun said with a smile.

"Oh my God! Destroyed 6,000 enemies, and only lost two people. Isn't that incredible? Ma Qi and other officers of the 11th Brigade smacked their tongues one after another. If they were all such battle losses, even if all the three Ma Jiajun families combined, they would not be able to fight the Western Sichuan Army.

"Chief of Staff, these prisoners can be handed over to our Eleventh Brigade, right? With them, then our 11th Brigade will be full! Ma Yuntao, chief of staff of the 11th Brigade, said.

"No problem, you send someone to take care of the captives! Those who are willing to join us, let them join the 11th Brigade. However, those officers must be escorted back to Qamdo to take care of it. Wait until after the war to decide what to do with them! Cai Yun said.

"Yes! Chief of staff! Ma Qi and Ma Yuntao immediately received the order.

When the vast majority of the prisoners joined the 11th Brigade, the total number of soldiers in the 11th Brigade reached more than 8,000. In addition to the fact that the weapons and equipment are not as good as the 10th Brigade, the staffing is almost the same as that of the 10th Brigade. Because of the lack of heavy equipment, all the 11th Brigade organized its subordinate units into eight battalions, each with a strength of more than 1,000 men. The battalion commanders were all the old men at the time of Nangqian's surrender and the generals of the Qingma Army at the time of Yushu's surrender. Originally, these people didn't have a sense of belonging to the Western Sichuan Army. But after seeing the horror of the Western Sichuan Army again, he didn't dare to have two thoughts about the Western Sichuan Army. At the same time, in view of Bai Meng's previous exploits, this time he also became the deputy commander of the 11th Brigade as he wished.

The next day, the Western Sichuan Army set off again and headed for Maqin. The two brigades, with a total of 16,700 men, slaughtered Maqin in a mighty manner. After two days of marching, on the morning of 10 April, the 10th and 11th Brigades of the Western Sichuan Army came to Maqin. At this moment, Maqin had already closed the city gate, and many soldiers of the Qingma Army on the city wall were frightened to become the dense western Sichuan army.
