Chapter 331: The Alliance Under the City

On the horizon in the north, there were black oppressive cavalry, more than 40,000 cavalry, lined up in a phalanx, you couldn't see the edge at a glance, and a huge * spread across the flat field.

The chief of staff of Ningma, who was the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, suddenly issued an order to stop advancing, and in front of him, a group of cavalry stood on horseback, lined up in a neat formation, and the sabers were shining in their hands, and there was naturally an atmosphere of solemnity.

The chief of staff of Ningma observed carefully, and a disdainful and mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the other party has at most one cavalry brigade, four or five thousand people, and he is facing against his more than 40,000 cavalry, how can there be an idiom? "Don't measure yourself, hit the stone with an egg."

As long as there is a charge, thousands of people on the other side will be drowned in their own army, and the rest can only be corpses and ownerless war horses everywhere, he suddenly felt a little pity for the Central Army, with a brigade of cavalry, and his two cavalry divisions, three cavalry brigades against each other, the commander of the Central Army, thought that his cavalry was all Guan Yunchang?

The chief of staff of Ningma issued an order to form the first attack wave with one cavalry division and one cavalry brigade, and it was necessary to annihilate all the cavalry of the Central Army on the opposite side, one cavalry division to form the second attack wave, and two cavalry brigades to form the third attack wave, and to enter the battle one by one.

The interval between each attack wave is fifteen minutes, and after annihilating the cavalry on the opposite side, break through the defensive position of the Central Army in one fell swoop, and wait for the two horse commanders behind to come up, and then clean up the battlefield.

The cavalry of the first attack wave of the Ma family army soon launched an attack, and the war horse suddenly increased its speed, and the soldiers of the Ma family army on the horse, the snow bright saber, had been raised high, and swept towards Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade like a frenzy.

Approaching, there was no range of the horse pistol, the wild shouts of the cavalry of the Ma family army had already come, Tong Batu issued an order, and the cavalry of the whole brigade suddenly turned their horses' heads and retreated in the direction of the dressing beam.

The reason why Tang Qiuli used Tong Batu's Second Cavalry Brigade as a decoy soldier was entirely based on his trust in the superb riding skills of the Second Cavalry Brigade, which was not an easy task to complete.

The Mongolian men of the Second Cavalry Brigade will master the best rhythm and step by step bring the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun to the blocking area.

Tong Batu was very unhappy with the task of the cavalry brigade given to him, and the Mongolian cavalry, when facing the enemy, only had a brave charge, even if they were killed on the spot, they never had the habit of fleeing without a fight, which would humiliate their ancestors.

Tang Qiu told him, this is the task, other cavalry brigades, I really don't feel at ease about their riding skills, don't bait didn't work, but became fat in people's mouths, only your second cavalry brigade of Tong Batu is the most suitable.

Remind you that you must not engage in battle, you must pretend to see that the other party's strength is too strong, and run away, Tong Batu reluctantly accepted the task, he galloped on the horse, while looking back at the rampant cavalry of the Ma Family, and gritted his teeth in his heart, if it wasn't for the division commander's death order, you guys, I really want to touch it.

The cavalry of the Ma family's army, which was chasing fiercely, held a kind of mentality of catching chickens with an eagle, and brought the speed of the war horse to the extreme, but they were a long-distance attack, a one-night rapid march, and the physical consumption of people and horses was very large, and Tong Batu's second cavalry brigade was waiting for work.

As soon as it started, the cavalry of the Ma family army suffered a loss in speed, and seeing that the distance was getting farther and farther, the cavalry of the Central Army fled into the mountain pass and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The cavalry of the Ma family army, which was the first to attack Bo, had to urgently rein in the reins of the horses, and the horsemen stood up and almost threw these cavalry under their horses, and in front of them, a trench three zhang wide and one zhang deep appeared, which became an insurmountable obstacle.

The cavalry of the Ma family army, which attacked the wave first, was blocked by the trench and could not advance, so they ran back and forth along the trench in a hurry, trying to find a passage, they were very strange, how did the cavalry of the Central Army pass?

As they were circling around, the cavalry of the second attack wave also arrived, followed by the third wave, more than 40,000 cavalry, blocked by the trenches, huddled together, and the formation was chaotic, with horses crowded and men crowded.

Suddenly, a loud thunderous sound came from the opposite position, and countless cannonballs with strange roars fell in the dense cavalry brigade, filling the smoke with gunpowder, and the wailing of war horses and the corpses thrown into the air turned into a rain of blood in the sky.

The sudden artillery bombardment shrouded more than 40,000 cavalry of the Ma family army in the shrapnel of death, and brought the power of the intensive fire attack to the extreme.

In all fairness, if Tang Qiuli didn't have these artillery pieces in his hand, he wouldn't have fought this battle in this way.

The wide trench was dug out by tens of thousands of soldiers overnight, just for Tong Batu, and after bringing the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun to the location of the shelling, on the one hand, it was to block the cavalry charge, and on the other hand, the cavalry of the Ma Jiajun was gathered together to achieve the best effect of the artillery fire, and this move really worked.

The cavalry of the Ma family's army, under the blow of artillery fire, only scattered and fled for their lives, they had never encountered such fierce artillery fire, the impact of the cavalry and the advantage in numbers, in the rain of steel bullets, seemed so small, so pale and powerless.

Run, get out of this hellish place, there was a loud bang, and the companions around him became a pile of minced meat, and before he had time to rejoice, a cannonball fell in front of him, and the whistling and rotating shrapnel cut into his chest, and the cavalry of the Ma family army seemed to hear the sound of his heart being cut and then shattered, and his lifeless eyes looked at the blood gushing out of his chest in disbelief.

Then, one fell under the horse, between his eyes, frozen in incomparable horror, around, is a continuous cannonball, after the explosion stirred up the earthen pillar, this qiē, has nothing to do with him, only the war horse that lost its owner, looked back at him, and then was shocked by the huge explosion, galloped away.

When Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing heard the loud sound of a landslide in front of them, and arrived panting with more than 80,000 infantry, the scene in front of them stunned these two northwest figures.

It can only be described as corpses all over the field, and most of them are corpses that cannot be seen, blood, endless blood, dyeing the yellow earth into a dazzling red, the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield has not yet dispersed, their 40,000 cavalry, no longer exists, and those who fled back and ran away were only more than 10,000 people and horses.

Ma Hongkui wanted to find his chief of staff and ask what happened, but unfortunately, he could never find it, and the chief of staff had been torn apart by shells.

Tang Qiuli's fierce and intensive artillery attack caused the three horses to lose their most elite cavalry, and took away the capital they relied on to open up a vast territory and sit on the ground to become kings.

Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing, who lost the red eye, commanded more than 80,000 troops, adopted the tactics of crowds, and carried out more than 10 division-level attacks on the independent division's defensive position in Liangliang from morning to noon.

The battle has been fought to this point, it is impossible to stop, if you withdraw at this time, you will lose not only tens of thousands of cavalry, but also the heads of the three horses, and support Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing in one breath, you must fight it, Lao Tzu still has the capital in his hands.

Even if it is a strong northwest wind, it can't blow away the gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, more than 100,000 troops on both sides, fighting to the death, this barren and desolate loess is destined to have a bloody wind that will not be recorded in history, and a bloody battle that changes the pattern of the northwest.

They were greeted by endless artillery fire and a dense rain of bullets, the sun hanging high in the sky, obscured by the smoke of the battlefield, and after losing more than 10,000 people, the two horses stopped in shock.

They fought the Red Army, it was almost a one-sided battle, and they were deeply impressed by the tenacious fighting spirit of the Red Army soldiers, but they were quite disdainful of the inferior equipment of the Red Army.

In the face of the superior cavalry of the Ma Jiajun, the Red Army could only use the lives of its soldiers in vain to make stubborn resistance, but these central armies were different, so many artillery pieces came from there, and their own artillery regiments had just fired a round of shells, and they attracted thousands of shells to return fire.

In the face of such ferocious firepower from the other side, more than 10,000 infantry were lost, and they didn't even touch the edge of a trench, is there still a way to fight this battle? Until now, I don't even know who the other party is, what the number is, and who the commander of the unit is.

Such a heavy loss, Erma's mind is clearer, in the great northwest where the people are strong, there is no capital, and even the lost dog is not as good, not to mention the hegemony of one side and the enclosure of the king, today you have lost all your family funds, and someone will come to cut off your head tomorrow.

Although they lost very badly, fortunately, Lao Bener did not lose everything, Ma Hongkui and Ma Buqing have already had the idea of retreating, but I don't know, can the Central Army on the opposite side let themselves go?

Just when the two discussed the strategy of retreating, in their rear, suddenly there was a fierce artillery bombardment, the second horse was completely desperate, until now, the central army still has a back hand, our back road, the matter is not over, a large number of cavalry on both sides suddenly killed, like two sharp knives, fiercely inserted into the second horse's troops.

The second horse no longer had the will to fight, and the retreat turned into a big rout, more than 70,000 soldiers of the Ma family army became frightened birds, along the direction of their hometowns, a thousand miles of collapse, two cavalry brigades of the independent division and the cavalry brigade of the 29th Army, the tail of the tail pursued and killed more than 100 miles, captured more than 30,000 people, and captured countless weapons and ammunition.

Because Ma Hongkui in Ningxia was the culprit of this battle, Tang Qiuli had no intention of letting him go, Li Honggang's First Independent Brigade, Su Jingfeng's Second Independent Brigade, Liu Chun's First Cavalry Brigade, and the 29th Army Cavalry Brigade quickly went north.

After Tianshui, Wu Zhong, and Lingwu, and at dawn on the 23rd, Yinchuan was encircled, and Zheng Yong's 1st Artillery Brigade immediately rushed to the periphery of Yinchuan to threaten Yinchuan City.
