Chapter 51: Shelling

"Brigade commander, those green horse soldiers don't know what is crazy, desperately attacking, the brothers in front are about to be unable to withstand it?" Zhang Mingyuan rushed into the headquarters of the 11th Brigade covered in blood, and the blood on his body was his own, but more of it was the enemy's.

"Damn, that guy from Gu Hongtao is starting to fight hard!" Ma Qi said with a nervous expression. Who Gu Hongtao is, as the eldest young master of the Green Horse Army, of course he knows very well. Gu Hongtao and his brother Gu Hongyun were once the targets of Ma Qi's great efforts. It's just that the two brothers don't seem to want to get closer to Ma Qi, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"It's going to be dawn soon, if Gu Hongtao doesn't work hard, then he won't have a chance. This is the last chance, as long as we withstand this wave of their attacks, we will win! Ma Yuntao said. The army of the Western Sichuan Army was about to come, and Gu Hongtao naturally began to be anxious. If the reinforcements of the Western Sichuan Army arrived, he would not even be able to say whether he could escape or not, let alone defeat the rebels in front of him.

"Order all those who are still able to fight at the brigade headquarters to be reinforced to the front line. Since Gu Hongtao wants to work hard, we are not afraid of him! Ma Qi said fiercely. Once defeated, all the efforts made so far will be useless. Therefore, before the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army arrived, he had to resist the attack of the Qingma Army.

"Yes, Brigadier General!" Ma Yuntao commanded. Quickly went down to the organization. The brigade headquarters of the 11th Brigade also has hundreds of people, and these new forces joining the battlefield will definitely be able to play a role in stabilizing the front. As long as they can survive this most critical time, they will be victorious.

"Kill!" Less than 100 meters from the south gate of Yushu City, the troops of the Yushu side of the Qingma Army and the troops of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army were engaged in this tragic battle. The crisp sound of gunfire and the bright saber took away one life after another. The blood on the ground flowed all over the ground, pooling into a stream, soaking the dirt a dark red.

"Attack, drive those rebels out, whoever dares to retreat, shoot and kill!" Behind the Green Horse Army, a team of warlords with cold faces was shouting at the top of their voices. Under their threat, the soldiers of the Green Horse Army attacked with their lives, and the people in front were knocked down, and the people behind stepped on their corpses and continued to advance. The houses on both sides of the street were already burning, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the surroundings.

"Battalion Commander Gu, the troops are fighting very fiercely, and the resistance of the rebels is also very fierce, and we have suffered heavy casualties!" Cen Zhiwen, the battalion commander of the 35th Battalion of the Qingma Army, came to Gu Hongtao's side again and said. In this night's battle, his battalion had lost half of its men and horses, which made him very distressed.

With a "bang", the saber in Gu Hongtao's hand came out of its sheath and rested on Cen Zhiwen's neck. "If you dare to disturb the morale of the army again, I will kill you!" Gu Hongtao said viciously.

Cen Zhiwen was frightened, Gu Hongtao's cold voice and the cold touch from the saber on his neck made him feel that he was so close to death. "Battalion Commander Gu, yes, I'm sorry, the little brother doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!" Cen Zhiwen hurriedly apologized.

"Humph!" Gu Hongtao snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, and continued to shift his attention to the battlefield.

Although the casualties were very large, even his own sixth battalion casualties were also very large, Gu Hongtao still persisted. He knew that the casualties of those rebels on the opposite side were not small, so who could not support them first. However, the rebels have a great advantage, their reinforcements are coming quickly, and their Green Horse Army, the reinforcements don't know where they are? The messenger will not be able to reach Maqin until at least tomorrow. And Ma Qi sent troops to Yushu, even if it was a cavalry, it would take two to three days.

Suddenly, on the battlefield ahead, there was a loud noise. The soldiers of the Tsing Ma Army, who were attacking, all stopped attacking.

"What's going on?" Gu Hongtao said angrily.

"My lord, it's the eldest young master. The eldest young master of the Green Horse Army appeared on the battlefield. The eldest young master has become the brigade commander of the Western Sichuan Army, and he is about to ask his brothers to join the Western Sichuan Army? A junior officer, covered in blood, ran back in surprise and reported.

"What? Ma Qi, that kid? Did he defect to the Western Sichuan Army? Gu Hongtao was also full of disbelief. Ma Qi was detained by the Western Sichuan Army, which he knew very well. But now why Ma Qi has also defected to the Western Sichuan Army and has become the brigade commander of the Western Sichuan Army.

Gu Hongtao didn't say a word, and hurriedly ran towards the battlefield. If the soldiers in front were fooled by Ma Qi and took refuge in the Western Sichuan Army, then he would be finished.

On the battlefield where the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army of the Qingma Army was engaged, Ma Qi led hundreds of people from the brigade headquarters to join the battle, and immediately stabilized the front. Ma Qi himself was thrown into the fight. Having grown up on horseback, he is also skilled in bowing horses. The saber was brandished, airtight, and an ordinary soldier was no match for him at all.

However, Ma Qi was quickly recognized by the people of the Green Horse Army. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Green Horse Army exclaimed, they couldn't imagine how even their eldest young master had become a member of the Green Horse Army.

"Brothers of the Green Horse Army, yes, I am Ma Qi, the former young master of the Green Horse Army. However, after arriving in Sichuanxi, I learned that Sichuanxi is countless times stronger than the Qingma Army, and we will not end well if we go against Sichuanxi. The future of China will inevitably be the world of western Sichuan, and only by following western Sichuan can we have a good way out. Brothers, I am now the brigade commander of the Western Sichuan Army, and my brothers will follow me against me! I promise that if you follow me, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth! Ma Qi took this opportunity to flicker loudly.

"Fart! Ma Qi, you disloyal and unfilial thing, you dare to betray Lord Admiral. Someone! Tie up this disloyal and unfilial guy for me, and take him back to see the Admiral! Gu Hongtao scolded.

Ma Haiyan has a high prestige in Qinghai, and these ordinary soldiers are very in awe. As soon as Gu Hongtao jumped out, all of a sudden, those soldiers of the Qingma Army who had been a little hesitant by Ma Qi regained clarity in their eyes again.

The battle began again, and Gu Hongtao also went to the battlefield in person. He is a battle-hardened general, and between the swing of his saber, there is no one to match him.

"Haha! Kill! Catch Ma Qi, Lord Admiral has a heavy reward! Gu Hongtao split a soldier of the 11th Brigade in half with a knife and shouted loudly.

"Kill! Catch the horse! The soldiers of the Qingma Army were suddenly full of morale, they were already numerous, and Gu Hongtao's ancestors and soldiers encouraged their fighting spirit even more. On the contrary, the 11th Brigade was losing ground and was about to lose its position.

"Boom!" A violent explosion suddenly sounded. A house next to the street was hit, and it was blown up in an instant, and it flew with it, and the flames soared into the sky.

"Shelling? It's shelling! Ha ha! Brothers, reinforcements are coming, follow me to kill the enemy! Ma Qi suddenly shouted. The soldiers of the 11th Brigade were immediately in high spirits.

The soldiers of the Green Horse Army in Yushu City were pale and fearful. The army of the western Sichuan army is coming, will they still be able to win? This is clearly a no.

A succession of explosions rang out in Yushu City. A large number of cannonballs smashed into Yushu City. Of course, the main targets of the shelling were near the center of Yushu City, avoiding the direction of the 11th Brigade.

At this time, less than a kilometer away from Yushu City, twenty-four 75-mm infantry guns of the artillery battalion of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army were violently swallowing flames. At the same time, groups of cavalry rushed towards Yushu City. They did not enter the city, but surrounded the small Yushu City, obviously preparing to annihilate all the Qingma troops inside.

"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff. Now that Yushu is surrounded by us, can we attack? Zhao Bowen, the brigade commander of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, reported.

"Attack! Ma Qi: They shouldn't be able to resist it! Wang Yuze looked at the burning Yushu City, and then said.
