After the Huaxing army surrounded Ningdong Town, it successively pulled out various surrounding strongholds, and launched a general attack on Ningdong Town after dawn.Ma Diankui didn't leave a way back for himself, more than 10,000 people scattered in various earthen forts in Ningdong Town insisted on fighting, he originally wanted to buy more time for the Hui people who crossed the Yellow River north behind him.When the Huaxing army first entered Ningdong Town, they were not familiar with the terrain and were attacked several times by the Hui people in the earthen fort with bows and arrows.The soldiers conquered one earthen fort after another, which was a waste of time, and they were shot to death with bows and arrows by the Hui hidden in the earthen fort without paying attention.Commander Liu Yunqing did not want to waste time, so he first asked the mortar team to bombard the houses of various earthen forts in Ningdong Town intensively.Six mortar battalions of the two armies, with a total of more than 1,000 mortars, bombarded Ningdong Town for half an hour.Shells rained down inside, after a burst of explosions.Suddenly, the earth fort collapsed, and the sand and dust filled the air, and even the ground shook with it.The people were terrified as if they were facing the end of the world, either killed by bombs or crushed to death by the collapsed earthen fort.The Hui people who were lucky enough to run out were all beaten into meat sieves by the Huaxing army that was deployed at the exit.After the smoke cleared, the Huaxing army entered the town and searched for the remnants of the enemy from house to house.After the shelling began, Ma Diankui hid in the secret room with a group of guards.The earthen fort above was blown into a pile of rubble and almost buried alive inside.The guards struggled to dig through the hole and had just crawled out of the chamber.The atmosphere didn't take a breath, and it was discovered by the searching Hua Xingjun."
Bang, bang, bang" A dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the few guards who had just sent out of the cave were beaten into holes.The other Huaxing troops also rushed to hear the gunshots and surrounded all sides of the cave."
Dog Han, even if Lao Tzu dies, I will drag you to be buried with me" Ma Diankui roared hysterically in the secret room, and a wave of anger suddenly rushed out of the mouth of the cave.I only heard a loud "boom", and all the places within a radius of dozens of meters collapsed, and the surrounding Huaxing army was also buried alive inside.It turned out that this secret room was where Ma Diankui usually used to store black powder, and just now he had given up hope of survival and set fire to hundreds of tons of black powder inside.Before dusk, all the Hui people in Ningdong Town were strangled.Liu Yunqing had every soldier killed in battle registered, then cremated the body and used a ceramic jar to collect the ashes.Their ashes will be sent to the Purple Mountain Martyrs Cemetery in Nanjing, where thousands of martyrs are now buried.Every year during the Qingming Festival, it will be spontaneously condoled by the people.After Ningdong Town was taken, the Huaxing army divided its troops into two routes, bypassing the desert in front.All the way to the north to attack Yinchuan, all the way to the south to attack Wuzhong.At this time, Yinchuan had fallen into a melee, and the Hui people who had just crossed the Yellow River had not yet been able to react from the fatigue of rushing, and the monk Lingqin had already taken the Mongolian iron cavalry to kill.Regardless of the elderly, weak, women and children, as long as they see Hui people, they will be killed.The Mongols killed the Hui people, which was much easier than the Huaxing army.Their ancestors were born from slaughter, when the Mongol iron cavalry swept across Eurasia, and tens of millions of people died under the sword of the Mongols.Now in the face of more than 500,000 Hui people, they will naturally not be like Hua Xingjun's mother-in-law, and they will hesitate for a long time to kill someone.The main army of the Hui people is now concentrated in the Shizuishan area, which is a hundred miles away from Yinchuan, and the Mongolian iron cavalry is like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and there is no decent resistance at all.After all the Hui people in Yinchuan were slaughtered, the water of the Yellow River was dyed blood-red by the corpses, and the news soon spread to Shizuishan, and the three supreme leaders of the Hui army immediately gathered in one place to discuss how to deal with the enemy."
This group of Mongolian mongrels, we have been friendly to Mongolia and Mongolia for generations, how can they say that they will turn their faces and turn their faces now, I will lead troops to fight with them now, they won't let us live, and we can't let them have a better time" Ma Yaobang was the first to stand up and scold, he was the youngest among the three, and he was the most angry."
Brother Yaobang, now is not the time to get angry, you sit down first."
Ma Qianling pulled Ma Yaobang's arm and dissuaded him with a deep face."
Yes, Brother Yaobang, now is not the time to be rash.We now have the Huaxing army behind us and the Mongols in front, and if we make a wrong decision, it is very likely that the whole clan will be wiped out" Ma Zhaoyuan also dissuaded, and his heart was in a mess.Originally, I wanted to pass through Mongolia, but now even the road ahead has been blocked."
The two eldest brothers said what to do now, our brothers and sisters were slaughtered by the Mongols in Ningxia, more than 100,000 ah, they are all unarmed people, how can the Mongols go down this hand.If this blood revenge is not avenged, I, Ma Yaobang, swear not to be a man" Ma Yaobang's hand slammed on the table, and blood was oozing from the back of his hand.His chest rose and fell for a long time before he let out a long breath and sat down."
Hey, it's all because we took a wrong step and had to embarrass the Han people.We killed so many of their brothers and sisters, and they naturally did not give up and spared us.The Mongols clearly wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot, and if we confronted it head-on, we would definitely suffer heavy losses.Even if there is a draw, after the Huaxing army comes, it will still be exterminated.Now the plan is to bypass the Helan Mountains as soon as possible and cross the desert from Wuda County in the north, and life and death depend on creation. ”Ma Zhaoyuan said in frustration, took out the topographic map, and pointed out the lower positions for Ma Qianling and Ma Yaobang on it."
What about the other clansmen, there are still many clansmen who have not yet rushed over, so let's leave like this, they will definitely be slaughtered by the Mongols," Ma Yaobang shouted in surprise at Ma Zhaoyuan's plan."
Yaobang, this strategy is also an emergency plan that I discussed with your father.Now the situation is critical, and we can only sacrifice a few people to save the lives of the majority.As long as we get out of the desert alive, we will eventually find Huaxingjun and the Mongols to avenge the current blood feud in the future. ”Ma Zhaoyuan moved Ma Hualong out, although Ma Yaobang is young and promising, he is still a little immature and will not consider the overall situation."
I don't care, I can't listen to you anymore this time.If you want to go, you go first, and I will take people to Yinchuan to resist the Mongols.Men are either alive and vigorous or dying happily, I can't just do this with a shrunken turtle" Ma Yaobang stood up and shouted angrily and walked out of the meeting hall."
Yaobang, don't be impulsive" Ma Qianling got up to dissuade him.Ma Zhaoyuan shook his head at him, and sighed helplessly, "Let him go, young people don't hit the south wall and don't look back."
We don't have much time, so you can go down and organize the Guyuan tribe now, bring enough food and water, and we will leave early tomorrow morning. ”"Hey, that's all it can be like depending on the situation."
Ma Qianling nodded with a frown, full of worries about crossing the desert this time, and wondered how many people would be swallowed by the desert.The Hetao Plain, from north to south, is full of slaughter.The Grim Reaper was at full speed here, and from the moment he raised his scythe, he was not ready to put it down.Along the Yellow River, there are lying corpses everywhere.There are men and women, old and young.All of them were slashed by swords, their limbs were incomplete, and their bodies were covered in blood, which seemed to be hell on earth.Ma Yaobang led the more than 50,000 Hui troops of Jinjibao all the way to the south, and the tragic situation along the way almost made Ma Yaobang and the Hui soldiers break down with anger."
Report to the leader, the subordinates have completed the investigation.The Mongols now have more than 30,000 cavalry resting in Pingluo County in front, and their large army is still in Yinchuan. ”The spies quickly passed the news to Ma Yaobang."
Brothers, let's go and attack Yongning County.We must break the Mongolian Tartar into thousands of pieces and avenge our people" Ma Yaobang took a deep breath, faced the Hui army behind him, raised his knife and roared."
Kill, kill, kill" All the Hui soldiers roared hysterically, raising their knives and following Ma Yaobang's loud roar.After the vanguard of the Mongol Iron Cavalry wreaked havoc and slaughtered all the way, they rested in Pingluo County between Yinchuan and Shizuishan.The Hui women were also taken captive by the Mongols and taken to the city to have fun, and these herdsmen, who had just lost their horses in the horse plague, finally got the pleasure of revenge on the Hui women.The Mongols usually did not have a standing army, and it was only in the event of an invasion that the herdsmen of the various tribes were gathered.Therefore, these more than 30,000 iron cavalry are not regular troops, and they are not bound by so many military regulations and military discipline.Fighting all the way, I haven't done anything else except burning, killing and looting.The Mongolian cavalry in Pingluo County were all herdsmen of the Alxa League, because they were close to Yinchuan, and they were the first to enter the territory of the Huiren after bypassing Helan Mountain.The looted property is also the most, and now it has been looted to Pingluo County unconsciously.This time, Seng Lingqin was summoned and ordered to take hundreds of thousands of Horqin cavalry out of the Shandong battlefield, just to block the northward advance of the Huaxing army.The current army is temporarily stationed in Yinchuan, and the Huaxing army is strictly stationed to cross the Yellow River to the north."
Come, come, come, you have some more drinks.Tell me what kind of mind the imperial court has moved, why did it let us turn against the Hui people, we have always gotten along well with the Hui and Mongolian families, if we kill all the Hui people, wouldn't it make the Han people get cheap in vain" Batu, the leader of the Mongolian cavalry in Pingluo County, was drinking with his subordinates, and he was already drunk and dizzy, and asked his generals with some puzzlement."
Chief, I heard that the Hui people secretly released horses that got horse plague, which caused serious damage to our Mongolia.When the court found out, it was angry, and let us punish these ungrateful Hui people. ”A fierce-looking general booed and let out a long hiccup."
Battle, you know what.The imperial court is letting us grab the territory.Now the Han people are forcibly occupying the territory south of the Yellow River, and the Hui people are fleeing in all directions.If we don't attack Yinchuan and Shizuishan, then let the Han people take it.Besides, these Hui people are really damned, we used to lend them so many horses.As a result, they contracted horse plague, and they didn't pay any attention to morality, so they put all these sick horses in the Mongolian steppe," snorted the other general beside Battle, who seemed much more shrewd than all the generals present.The other generals all nodded in agreement, and when you think about it, it's really like this
