Those people in the Protestant rebel army were dissatisfied with Ma Yongfu, but they never imagined that Ma Yongfu, who was second only to Ma Guiyuan, Ma Benyuan and Ma Ga, would collude with the officials and men who were guarded and monitored by him at this juncture, and sold Xining City in one fell swoop.

Xining City, which has a total circumference of only nine miles, is only two miles away from north to south and east to west. The cavalry of the Qin army and the Mongol cavalry that entered from the east gate really didn't even give time for the Protestant rebels to react, so they pressed their troops to the south, north, and west gates. In addition to the city walls and the military barricades under the city, the streets and markets of the entire city were quickly controlled.

The Protestant riots were taken by surprise. They also lost home at the beginning.

The coalition cavalry, which controlled the roads and passages in the city, was equivalent to dividing a considerable part of the rebel soldiers into fragments of small alleys and alleys from the beginning. The number of these people is definitely not small, and they are enough to be eaten by the coalition forces for a while. But when this not-so-small number is divided by tens or hundreds, it is completely drizzle, and there is no threat.

Less than half of the 4,000 Protestant infantry were captured, and too many died in the streets.

Those small and fragmented riot infantry detachments that were divided and scattered, or all of them were killed in battle, or a single one was slaughtered by the allied cavalry, but the riot troops on the three gates and three city walls in the south, north and west surrendered one after another and temporarily saved their lives after suffering a lot of casualties and the situation was difficult to recover.

Liu Xian met with Ma Yongfu and a group of old sect leaders under him, who needed to be pacified. met Yutong, the doomed minister of Xining, but Liu Xian did not listen to Yutong's opinion at all about how to deal with the captured Protestant rebels.

It is still the same standard for selection and killing as before, and there is one more - those with injuries on their bodies and blood on their clothes will be beheaded.

The total number of captured Protestant rioters was less than 1,500, and this killing, minus more than 400, the total number of remaining prisoners of war was 1,000.

Naturally, all the Protestant believers were also imprisoned, and with the help of Ma Yongfu and other old sects, they were very discerning. All the family property of these Protestant believers was confiscated, and Ma Guiyuan, Ma Benyuan, and Ma Gasan led the riotous army to slaughter Xining for three years, and the countless household furniture, money, food, and military supplies that were looted were all cheaper for the expeditionary army and the Mongol princes such as Dorji Shamu.

Liu Xian accounted for the big head, the prince of the Seven Banners took the small head, and set aside a part of the money and grain for Guo Xiangzhi to restore the rule of the people of Xining. As for the weapons that Liu Xian collected from the rebel army, except for the horses, all the horses were taken away, and the rest were left to Xining.

The Xining Town battalion led by Huang Wuxian arrived at Xining City at Chenshi. When Liu Xian attacked Xining, he sent someone to greet him. Huang Wuxian immediately rushed to Xining with his troops, but the Xining town under his command was too weak, the army was chaotic, and the action was slow.

However, with Huang Wuxian's 2,000 Xining soldiers, Liu Xian could rest assured that Xining City would be handed over to Xining. As long as Huang Wuxian blocks the big and small gorges on Xining East Road, there is nothing from the outside world that can directly threaten Xining.

There is Huangshui as a barrier in the northeast of Xining City, the east road goes straight to the mouth of the small gorge from the mouth of the big gorge, the peak of more than 80 miles is dangerous in the meantime, there is only a line of river bank in the middle can be passed, the road is only a few feet wide, people and horses can only run through the fish, can not be wild geese, it is the main passage leading to Lanzhou since ancient times.

The north and south of the river valley, the ditches are divergent, the mountain roads are complicated, the terrain is dangerous, and it was called Nirvana in ancient times.

Huang Wuxian only needs to send a small number of troops to be stationed in it, and if the foreign enemy does not have Zuo Zongtang to level the northwest, the crushing ordnance and firepower advantage will only rely on manpower, and it will be difficult to overcome it in the short term. And with the turn of time, Huang Wuxian can mobilize troops to support.

Relying on the current strength of Xining, even if Hezhou on Xining East Road is fighting, the riot army will not be able to do half of Xining.

As for what Liu Xian is going to do now, he must be thinking about how to eat the Xining Riot Horse Team led by Erma in the south.

Judging from the virtual map, the second horse that defeated the Guide army did not know that Xining had changed, and was turning the horse's head to rush back to Xining City. Now the team is almost in the middle of the river.

Liu Xian didn't know when Erma would get the news of the change in Xining, but he was by no means willing to indulge the remaining strength of this Xining riot army to run to Hualong and run back to Ma Guiyuan's lair Xunhua. Therefore, he had to quickly organize his army to the south, occupy the Nanchuan camp, and then quickly divide his troops to continue south, blocking the trail on the bank of the Yellow River.

Put the meat in your pocket, tie it tightly in your mouth, and digest it slowly.

Leaving two cavalry brigades, leaving the remaining troops of the Huitenan Banner in Xining, Liu Xian led two thousand cavalry of the Qin army and more than four thousand horses of the remaining six banners of Mongolia, and flew out of the south gate of Xining City two quarters of an hour before noon, and the more than 6,000 horses rumbled like an unstoppable torrent, sweeping towards the south road.

Naturally, Zasak of the Six Banners would not follow to lead the troops to fight, and they also stayed in Xining City at this time, like Dorzi Shamu, and took care of their gains in the first battle of Xining with the personal guards of the small unit at hand. Although he still envied the good fortune of Dorji Shamu in his heart, the rich capture of Zhenhai Fort and Xining had already satisfied the Six Banners Zasak. No matter how beautiful they had envisioned, they never dared to imagine that such a small number of casualties in the two wars could be exchanged for such a rich return.

For the final battle that followed, they no longer cared about the possible losses. They are also full of confidence in Liu Xian's operational command, believing that even if there are casualties, they will not be high!

At noon, the coalition forces continued on the march. On the virtual map, Erma's riot horse team has arrived in Huangzhong and is no longer moving. Apparently they were eating.

Nanchuan Camp, Nanchuan Camp!

Liu Xian silently recited the name of the place in his heart. As long as the team can get here and block the road to Hualong, the plan to close the door and fight the dog will be considered a success. Because from here further south into the Yellow River waterway of Guide Hall, with the speed of only one horse in the riot army, they will not be able to catch up with the coalition army with at least two horses.

The second horse stopped in Huangzhong for half an hour, and then continued its march north. This is a marching route with an oblique angle of more than 30 degrees compared to the official road, and the soldiers will pass through Ta'er Temple.

This Ta'er Temple is also known as Ta'er Temple. Named after the Great Silver Pagoda built in the Great Golden Tile Monastery to commemorate Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Yellow Sect, it is called "Gonbenxian Balin" in Tibetan, which means "Maitreya Temple of 100,000 lions roaring Buddha statues".

But it doesn't matter, Erma is a believer in the True God Cult and ignores Tibetan Buddhism. Although they will not be brainless enough to take the initiative to loot the Taer Monastery and provoke Tibetan Buddhism.

The key point is that Ta'er Monastery is the center of Tibetan Buddhism in the northwest region, as one of the six major monasteries of the Gelug School (Yellow Sect), the road around it is smooth, and the road to Xining is flat and wide, which is far stronger than the official road that Liu Xian's army is walking now.

This is the most important reason why the second horse hit the Guide army badly, why they arrived at Huangzhong along the diagonal line, and then went to the Taer Temple.

However, it is really not easy to hide the things that have changed in Xining for a long time. Last night's fight was too loud.

Liu Xian saw that the two horse riot army suddenly stopped when they were about to arrive at Ta'er Temple, and then after a period of chaos, the two thousand rebel army was divided into two, and a group of four or five hundred horse teams separated from the brigade and quickly galloped towards Ta'er Temple. And the rest of the main force turned the horse's head and galloped towards the Nanchuan battalion on the official road!

Regardless of asking, it can be known that this is the news of the Xining accident that was known to Erma. The horse team of four or five hundred horses should be the old sect force under Ma Yongfu. And the remaining main forces are all Protestant.

Erma was very decisive, and as soon as he asked something wrong, he immediately thought about the back road to the east. However, "it's too late!" Liu Xian sneered inwardly. The forward troops of the coalition army had already arrived at the Nanchuan camp, and the road was held in the palm of his hand.

Song Zuo was Chenggu's elder brother first, and at the beginning, among the swordsmen, he was just an obedient and daring little brother of Ma Zai. But now he has climbed step by step to the top of the five hundred horses. But this does not depend on his daring to fight and kill, but his unchanging obedience.

He will do whatever he tells him to do. Therefore, he achieved the highest grades in military regulations, military discipline, literacy and writing, and the "Battle Regulations". During the marching exercise, he also followed the regulations of the military department at a glance, and who else could Liu Xian promote if he didn't promote him.

This time, he led his team and several hundred Mongolian cavalry to the Nanchuan camp first. did not send people to investigate the enemy's situation with great arrogance, so that he could strike a head-on blow and make meritorious contributions. Instead, the scouts were released to be vigilant around, and the main force dismounted to build an offensive.

The Nanchuan Battalion is a town with thousands of residents, and it has set up an inspection department and stationed dozens of flood soldiers. In the sparsely populated Xining Mansion, it is already a place where the number is listed.

But more than three years of violence* made the entire Nanchuan camp deserted and dilapidated, and Song Zuo first sent people to search the entire town, but failed to find a single person.

In the Central Plains, this situation occurred only in the most frequent parts of the war. But in Xining Mansion, this appearance is too ordinary and too ordinary.

In the dilapidated Nanchuan camp, the town wall is like a dog gnawing it, and there are gaps everywhere. It no longer has defensive value, and Song Zuoxian's task is not to guard the Nanchuan battalion, what he wants is to defend the eastward fork next to the Nanchuan battalion.

The fortifications were built with the hill on the side of the road as the core, and the scale and type were arranged according to the specifications of the Qin army's camp. It's just that the team doesn't need to stay for too long, and the open space for setting up tents inside it is saved.

Of course, between the roads and at the forks, these areas destined to be impacted were provided with fences and antlers, as well as the breastwall of the civil structure. The material is naturally the nearby Nanchuan camp. There are dilapidated houses everywhere, and it is far faster to get local materials than to cut down new wood.

A heavy fence, antlers and breast wall covered the fork tightly, and Song Zuoxian didn't even leave a gap in the counterattack.

The rebels came quickly. The second horse also sent the vanguard, regardless of the horsepower, the first to arrive! R1152
