- Hezhou Ma Jiajun is the most powerful of the three Ma Jiajun families, with more than 45,000 elite cavalry. After meeting Zhou He, Ma Anliang immediately decided to send troops to Ma Qin to cooperate with the Qingma Army. In this battle, the Hezhou Majia Army will send twenty battalions and twenty thousand elites to participate in the battle.
After receiving Ma Anliang¡¯s letter, Ma Qianling, the envoy of the Ningxia Guard Army, immediately dispatched twelve battalions of elite cavalry to participate in the battle. The leader was his eldest son Ma Fulu. The Ningma Army has the smallest strength, with only more than 24,000 people, and they dispatched twelve battalions, which is equivalent to half of their strength.
Ma Jiajun is worthy of being the largest force in the northwest. The three armies sent troops to Ma Qin to reach a total of 50,000 troops. In addition to Ma Qin's original 10,000 defenders, the total strength increased to 60,000 troops. It is enough to fight the Western Sichuan Army with such a large force. After all, the Western Sichuan Army's regular cavalry only has two brigades, with a size of less than 20,000.
For this reason, Ma Haiyan specially sent someone to order Maqin's defenders to stick to Maqin and wait for reinforcements. However, he did not know that his order was already given too late. Half of Maqin's defenders had already gone to reinforce Yushu.
Yushu and Maqin are separated by a full 600 kilometers. Even a large-scale cavalry march will take three days. Moreover, as soon as they were dispatched, they were detected by spies of the Western Sichuan Army and reported the matter to the Western Sichuan Army.
On the morning of April 7, the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army had already marched to a place called Qingshui River. Because they carried a lot of baggage, their marching speed was not fast. But even so, it is estimated that we can reach Maqin on April 9th. But here, they received information that the Maqin garrison was moving south in large numbers. Cai Yun immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and called Wang Yuze and the generals of the 10th Brigade to discuss countermeasures.
In the marching tent, Cai Yun, Wang Yuze, the 10th Brigade Commander Zhao Bowen, and the Deputy Brigade Commander Tashi Duoji gathered in front of a detailed map of Qinghai, calculating where the Qingma Army sent by Ma Qin had arrived.
"Chief of Staff. According to the speed of the Qingma Army, they have been setting off for more than a day and should almost be at this location!" Tashi Duoji, deputy commander of the 10th Brigade, pointed to a place called Maduo.
"That is to say, it is less than a hundred kilometers away from us!" Cai Yun said seriously.
"That's right! According to the speed of both sides, we will encounter each other at about three or four o'clock in the afternoon!" Tashi Dorje said. He is a member of the Fanba tribe and is relatively familiar with the geography of the plateau.
"Encounter if you encounter it! They sent only six battalions of reinforcements, more than 6,000 people. The 8,000 soldiers of the 10th Brigade are not afraid of them!" Zhao Bowen, the commander of the 10th Brigade, said confidently. In almost every battle between the Western Sichuan Army and the Qingma Army, they defeated more with less.
"Don't forget that our enemies are not only this Green Horse Army, but also a large number of Green Horse Army behind them. We may even face the Hezhou Majia Army and the Ningma Army. We must deal with this enemy at the minimum cost. !" Cai Yun said.
"Chief of Staff, I took a look and the terrain here is very suitable for an ambush. We choose the best terrain and arrange it into a pocket. Once the Qingma Army people get in, we can eat them all with our superior firepower. Drop it!" Wang Yuze suggested. Only in this way can the firepower advantage of the Western Sichuan Army be maximized.
"Young Marshal, Chief of Staff, I know a place that is very suitable for an ambush!" Tashi Duoji, deputy commander of the 10th Brigade, said excitedly.
"Oh? Where?" Wang Yuze asked,
"Less than 20 kilometers in front of us is called Yiniu Valley. It is a canyon more than three kilometers long. There are mountains on both sides of the canyon. It is the only way from Yushu to Maqin." Tashi Duoji said. .
"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Wang Yuze asked Cai Yun. After all, his military rank is not high. At least he only joined this plan as a young marshal. He does not have decision-making power on many things.
"Very good, then we will ambush the Qingma Army in Yiniugou!" Cai Yun said.
"Yes!" Everyone answered loudly.
Soon, the soldiers of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army took action again and rushed to Yiniugou 20 kilometers away, preparing to build an ambush circle there to ambush the incoming Qingma Army.
At noon, the Western Sichuan Army arrived at Yiniugou. Under the leadership of the officers, the officers and soldiers of the entire brigade immediately began to take action, not even bothering to eat lunch. The three-kilometer-long Bison Valley is a very suitable place to ambush enemies. It is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, making it difficult for people to detect it. As long as the head and tail are blocked, the enemy who enters will have no choice but to die. One piece.
In order to ensure that this green horse army could be completely annihilated, the Western Sichuan Army deployed powerful firepower at the beginning and end of Yiniugou. Two heavyweights were arranged on each side of the canyon.Guns can form crossfire and block the possibility of the Qingma Army rushing out of the canyon. The entire brigade's 24 Type 82 infantry guns were also disassembled and transported to an open area halfway up the mountain for assembly. If the cannon is fired here, the entire canyon will be covered by the artillery fire.
It took nearly two hours of busy work before all the positions were constructed. The position is covered with branches and weeds. Unless you look closely, you can't see anything out of the ordinary.
At this time, the soldiers of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army began to enjoy dry food. I didn't dare to light a fire to cook because I was afraid that the smoke would be noticed by the Qingma Army. At the same time, a large number of scouts have been sent out. Once they find traces of the Qingma Army, they will immediately come back to report.
The headquarters of the 10th Brigade was shot into the dense forest halfway up the mountain. The white tents had been camouflaged with branches, and the scene here was not visible at all from the canyon. At this moment, only Cai Yun and Wang Yuze were present in the headquarters. The brigade commander and deputy brigade commander of the 10th Brigade went to the front line and were ready to command the battle on the front line. The Western Sichuan Army has not experienced such a battle for many years, and they are very cautious.
"Chief of Staff, after taking care of these 6,000 Green Horse Army, there won't be many defenders left in Maqin. Then we can easily capture Maqin!" Wang Yuze said excitedly. Maqin has tens of thousands of Qingma troops. Now they have sent out most of them, leaving only four battalions. With the combat power of the Western Sichuan Army, it won't take long to capture Maqin.
"Young Marshal, it's not that simple. Now Ma Haiyan must have known about our attack on Qinghai, and he will never sit idly by. In addition, the Hezhou Majia Army and Ningma Army will definitely send troops to participate in the war. And Ma Qin, It is a good battlefield. I estimate that the Qingma Army and other Ma Jiajun will use Ma Qin as the battlefield to fight us decisively!" Cai Yun analyzed.
"A decisive battle in Maqin? How many enemies will we face?" Wang Yuze asked worriedly.
"It won't be too many, but it won't be too few either. There will probably be fifty or sixty thousand people!" Cai Yun speculated.
"So many? Are our troops too weak?" Wang Yuze was shocked. The 10th Brigade only had more than 8,000 people. Even if the 11th Brigade is included, it is only a little over 10,000. Compared with its opponents, there is really a huge difference.
"The fourth brigade will be dispatched by then. The elites of the two brigades plus the eleventh brigade should be enough to deal with the Ma Jiajun!" Cai Yun seemed very confident.
Wang Yuze nodded involuntarily. Although the Ma Jiajun had many people, there were not many elites. Most of them were just rabble. The firepower of the Western Sichuan Army was enough to withstand the Ma Jiajun's attack. The final victory or defeat must belong to the Western Sichuan Army.
"Chief of Staff, Marshal. The scouts have discovered the Qingma Army. They are twenty kilometers north of us and are currently heading south rapidly. They will enter the ambush circle in about half an hour!" A guard came in and reported.
"Okay, order the troops to prepare for battle!" Cai Yun suddenly stood up from his seat.
The Green Horse Army has finally arrived, and Yiniugou will be their burial place. The order of the Qingma Army's imminent arrival was conveyed, and the soldiers of the 10th Brigade went to war and made final preparations, checking firearms, ammunition and supplies, etc., waiting for the Qingma Army to arrive.
