During the battle between the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army and the Qingma Army, the 11th Brigade was also waiting for the order to attack Maqin City. Yesterday's day of hard fighting, although it did not take Maqin City, at least two or three thousand casualties were inflicted on Maqin City. The defenders of Maqin City only had 4,000 men in total, and almost half of them had already been lost. The losses of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army were less than a thousand. Almost everyone thought that they would be able to take Maqin City today.

"Brigade commander, the brothers are all asking for battle, asking when they can attack?" Bai Meng, deputy commander of the 11th Brigade, walked into the military tent and asked.

In the military tent, in addition to Ma Qi and Ma Yuntao, Wang Yuze's adjutant Wang Wei is also there. Now, Wang Wei is the liaison officer sent by Wang Yuze to the 11th Brigade, on the one hand, to convey the orders of the Western Sichuan Army, and on the other hand, it also has a deep-level role. The 11th Brigade is all surrendered by the Green Horse Army, although there is no suspicion in employing people, but this time the battle with the Ma Jiajun is a matter of great importance, and there can be no negligence. Therefore, an important role of Wang Wei in the 11th Brigade is to make these people have scruples.

In fact, Wang Yuze was overwhelmed. Ma Qi and others now have no way out. Since they got on the ship of the Western Sichuan Army and attacked the Green Horse Army with the Western Sichuan Army, how could they return to the side of the Green Horse Army? They had to go all the way to the dark.

"Lao Bai, wait a minute. The young marshal and the chief of staff led the army to meet the main force of the Green Horse Army at the East Dipping Ditch. The young marshal ordered us to wait until that battle was over before attacking Maqin! Ma Yuntao said.

"What? The young marshal is facing the main force of the Green Horse Army in the east dipping ditch? How many people did they take with them? Bai Meng heard the news for the first time.

"Not much, the strength of the four battalions of the 10th Brigade!" Ma Qi said. He and Ma Yuntao also told them just now that Wang Wei told them that they only knew the news. However, Ma Qi's heart was a little entangled. One side is his son, and the other side is his master, no matter which side loses, it is not what he wants. However, he now has no choice.

"Four battalions? Facing the 16,000 Tsing Ma Army? How is this possible? Bai Meng exclaimed.

Don't talk about him, Ma Qi and others think it's a crazy decision. What a ratio of one to four! The Green Horse Army is not a good stubble, and everyone has no bottom about whether the Western Sichuan Army can achieve victory.

After yesterday's onslaught by the Western Sichuan Army, the entire small half of Maqin City was in ruins, and the casualties of the defenders were very heavy. Now the available soldiers in Maqin City are less than half of what they were before the battle began.

Lu Haoran and Wei Yuan were beside the ruined city wall in the west city of Maqin City, looking at the Qingma Army opposite.

"General, it's almost noon, why hasn't the Western Sichuan Army launched an attack yet? Could it be that they have some conspiracy that cannot be realized? Wei Yuan said with some concern. In yesterday's battle, his 15th Battalion had been largely wiped out.

"I don't know! However, if the Western Sichuan Army wants to take Maqin, there is no need for any conspiracy! As long as they continue to maintain yesterday's offensive intensity today, Maqin City will inevitably change hands! Lu Haoran sighed. Although Ma Haiyan ordered to defend Maqin City, there was no shadow of reinforcements until now, and it was impossible to hold Maqin City before the reinforcements arrived.

"General, calculate the time, Lord Admiral, it should be almost there! As long as the Admiral can arrive, there is still hope for us to hold Maqin. When the time comes, reinforcements from the Ma family army and the Ningma army of Hezhou will also arrive, and we will still have a chance to win! Wei Yuan said.

"I hope so!" Lu Haoran sighed.

The western Sichuan army stopped attacking, and the Qingma army was happy not to be sent to death, hoping to maintain this posture all the time. At noon, a group of baggage soldiers arrived and sent more than 20 wagons of weapons and ammunition to the camp of the 10th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army. When the western Sichuan army took Nangqian, the baggage troops of Qamdo began to transport the weapons and ammunition urgently needed at the front. However, the road on the plateau is very difficult to walk, and it is only now that the first batch of baggage has been delivered.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a small group of cavalry rushed into the camp of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army from the north.

"Big win! The young marshal and the chief of staff led the army to meet the Qingma Army in the east dipping ditch and won a great victory, destroying tens of thousands of enemies! As soon as the cavalry entered the camp of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army, they shouted loudly.

"What? Won a big victory, and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies? "The whole camp was boiling.

"There are only a few people in the Green Horse Army! We have already wiped out 10,000 or 20,000 before and after, and now we have destroyed tens of thousands of enemies, how many are left of the Green Horse Army? The soldiers of the 11th Brigade were talking.

At this time, Ma Qi, Bai Meng, Ma Yuntao, Wang Wei and others who got the news also hurriedly greeted them.

"Report to the chief, the young marshal and the chief of staff asked me to hand over the battle report to you!" A cavalryman dismounted, saluted Ma Qi, took out a battle report from his pocket, and handed it to Ma Qi.

Ma Qi quickly took it and got up. There are not many words on it, only two or three lines. However, the recorded message is very important.

After the battle report, Ma Qi's face was full of smiles, although his Lao Tzu was defeated, but now he can't care so much, now he is a member of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Brothers, the young marshal and the chief of staff led the army to meet the Qingma Army in the Dongqian Gully, and faced off against the 16,000 Qingma Army with 4,000 people, and achieved a great victory! Tens of thousands of enemies were annihilated, and their own losses were less than 500 people! Ma Qi shouted loudly.

"Wow!" The soldiers of the 11th Brigade exclaimed. With 4,000 against 16,000, he also won a big victory. The combat effectiveness of the Western Sichuan Army is inevitably too good! The whole camp became a sea of joy. For those of them who were former soldiers of the Green Horse Army, they were always worried that if they failed, they would be reckoned by the Green Horse Army. Now that the Green Horse Army has been completely defeated, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The abnormal movement of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army attracted the attention of the Qingma Army in the city, but they didn't know what was going on, which made them very puzzled.

An hour later, a soldier of the 11th Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army entered the city of Maqin with a white flag. However, in less than 20 minutes, he was driven out with a blue nose and swollen face.

"Brigade commander, these people are so ignorant of what to do, and we kindly persuaded them to surrender, but they did this to our messengers. Give the order, with just one charge, our men will be able to take Maqin City! Bai Meng roared angrily.

"Not busy! Maqin City is already in our pocket, and there is no need to pay unnecessary casualties. Wait another two hours, and if they don't recognize it, then don't blame us! Ma Yuntao said.

Ma Qi didn't object when he heard this, he was able to take Maqin City at the lowest cost, so why not?

In Maqin City, there was a gloomy cloud. Although they shouted that they did not believe the gibberish of the messenger, in fact, everyone had deep doubts in their hearts.

"General, Lord Admiral shouldn't have really been defeated, right? Otherwise, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? The battalion commander of the 21st Battalion of the Tsing Ma Army asked.

"Lord Admiral has more than 10,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, how can he be defeated by 4,000 people?" Wei Yuan shook his head in disbelief.

Although Lu Haoran didn't say much, he still didn't believe the words of the envoy of the Western Sichuan Army. He thought to himself that this was nothing more than a ploy by the Western Sichuan Army to take down Maqin.

However, when the time reached about four o'clock in the afternoon, there was a rumbling thunder in the north of Maqin City, and those who have experience knew that it was the sound of a large number of cavalry galloping together.

The defenders of Maqin City were so excited that they thought it was reinforcements from the Green Horse Army.

However, when it was closer, those cavalry were from the Western Sichuan Army.

When more than a dozen broken banners of the Green Horse Army were placed under Maqin City, the momentum of the defenders of Maqin City completely collapsed.

"General, Lord Admiral has really been defeated, what should we do?" Wei Yuan asked with a dejected expression. The other generals also looked at Lu Haoran with a look of hope.

"Surrender! There are no reinforcements left, how can Maqin City be able to hold it! Lu Haoran said dejectedly. It's just that after making this decision, he seemed to feel a lot more relaxed all of a sudden.
