Chapter 711: Straight to the Lair
The vanguard of the Shu army was Fu's Tiger Cavalry Army, which set off from Suyi and only took two days to kill the county under the county of Zhiqi County, Xinping County.
Don't look at the rebellion of the Hu people in the entire Beidi Dynasty, in addition to the Beidi County Zhifuping lost to Qi Wannian, the other three counties of the four counties in the north are still firmly in the hands of the Shu army, Feng Yi County's county governance Linjin needless to say, Xinping County's county governance Qi County and Anding County's county governance Linjing have not been lost.
After Fu arrived in Qi County, he joined Zhang Hua, the Taishou of Xinping, Zhang Hua can be said to be familiar with the situation of Ma Lanqiang in Xinping, and he sent someone as a guide, Fu Zhi killed Ma Lan Mountain in one fell swoop, and gave him a pot of the nest of the Ma Lan Qiang people.
In order to expand the territory, Ma Gelong almost brought all the main forces of Ma Lanqiang to attack Xizhou, originally thought that across the Beidi County, the Shu army would not be able to fight for a while and a half, not to mention that the terrain of Ma Lan Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Shu army kills under the mountain, it may not be able to do anything.
Therefore, Ma Gelong did not consider the safety of the nest at all, and brought most of the troops to attack Xizhou, and competed with the Lu Shuihu people, leaving only a small part of the troops to guard Malan Mountain.
When Fu arrived at the foot of Malan Mountain, he did not rush to attack the mountain, but besieged the Malan Mountain, and sent some locals who knew Qiang to shout to the mountain, demanding that the Malanqiang people on the mountain surrender.
Sitting in Malan Mountain is Ma Gelong's younger brother Ma Gecheng, although there are not many people, but with the stubborn resistance of the mountain danger, he refuses to surrender.
Don't look at the Tiger Cavalry Army as a cavalry, but the Shu Army's tradition of being good at mountain warfare has not been lost, and they are still a well-known local mountain elite tour. Fu Zhi saw that Ma Gecheng refused to surrender, and without waiting for Liu Yin's main force to arrive, he took the lead in launching an attack on Ma Lanshan.
Ma Gecheng saw at first that all the cavalry troops of the Shu army were surrounding the mountain, but he didn't care, the cavalry can be said to occupy an absolute advantage in fighting on flat ground, but the steep mountains are not their combat strength, Ma Gecheng ordered the Qiang soldiers to hold the critical pass on the mountain, just waiting for Ma Gelong to return to help.
However, Ma Gecheng obviously underestimated the mountain combat ability of the Shu cavalry, and just when he felt at ease, Fu Zhi had already led the army to remove the outlying strongholds of Malan Mountain and kill them under the Malan Mountain village.
At this time, Ma Gecheng was a little panicked, he never expected that the mountain combat ability of this Shu cavalry was so strong, and the dangerous peripheral fortifications were only set aside by the Shu army overnight, he just slept and found that the Shu army was already in the village.
Ma Gecheng couldn't help but scold the rice bucket, these Qiang soldiers guarding the outer strongholds didn't know what to eat, they didn't know what was going on when they were attacked by people at night, and now the danger of Ma Lanshan was lost, and there were not many defenders in the cottage, how to resist the attack of the Shu army, Ma Gecheng was not sure at all.
At this time, Fu Zhi had already ordered to attack the mountain, and seeing the lush vegetation around the Malan Mountain Village, Fu Zhi first ordered the Shu army to set fire to the mountain.
Around Malan Mountain Village, there are dense mountain forests and grasslands, now in the early winter, the grass withers, the mountain is up and down, a piece of withered yellow, when the northwest wind is strong, the wind borrows the fire, the fire helps the wind, the mountains are all over the field and become a sea of fire, even the Malan Village on the top of the mountain, also fell into a sea of fire.
The Qiang people in the cottage burned themselves, crying and wailing, and the dead were very numerous.
Ma Gecheng saw that the general trend had gone, and he could only flee by taking the road, Fu Zhi did not rush to kill them all, and he did not deliberately send troops to stop Ma Gecheng, who was frantically fleeing, his task was to capture Ma Lan Mountain, as long as he could take down the lair of the Ma Lan Qiang people, even if it was a devastating blow to Ma Gelong.

"What? Malan Hill lost? Ma Gelong looked at Ma Gecheng, whose gray face was burned by the fire, and his eyebrows and hair were mutilated, and he was stunned.
Malan Mountain is the base of the Malan Qiang people, and it is the foundation of Ma Lanqiang's foothold in Guanlong. Ma Gelong couldn't help but regret it, and he was bent on expanding his territory, but he didn't think about it, the old nest was served by others, and it was really a loss to steal chickens and rice.
"Big brother, the Shu people set fire to the mountain, Ma Lanshan was burned to the ground, women, children, old and young were all buried in the fire, if I didn't escape quickly, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you, big brother, this revenge, we must revenge!" Ma Gecheng burst into tears and wept bitterly.
Of course, Ma Gelong also wants to take revenge, but he is much more rational than Ma Gecheng, and now most of the Ma Lanqiang Department in Xinping County has been annihilated by the Shu army.
What's more, this time to fight in Xizhou, the grain and grass brought by Magelon are limited, the loss of the base camp of Malanshan has also lost the grain and grass of the Malanqiang people's cantonment, at this moment, I am afraid that because of that fire, it has already been burned, and without grain and grass, the Malanqiang people are almost forced to a desperate situation.
In front is the invincible Lu Shuihu people, behind is the aggressive Shu army, Ma Gelong, who originally thought that the situation was good, fell into a desperate situation in an instant, whether it was Lu Shuihu people or Shu people, all of them were Yama who asked for his life, and they all wanted his life, and Ma Gelong almost collapsed.
Surrender to Shu, Ma Gelong doesn't know what awaits him, as a rebel, before getting the **** of the Shu Han court, once captured, the end is probably extremely tragic, either five horses are divided into corpses or a thousand knives, such a way of death, I shudder to think about it.
Of course, Magron didn't want to die, and it had only been two short months since the army was raised, and the ambition in Magron's heart had not yet been realized, so how could he be willing to die.
Thinking about it, there is only one way to surrender to the Lu Shuihu people, although they have just had a vendetta in Xizhou, and they have a deep grudge against each other, but if the Ma Lanqiang people are destroyed by the Shu army, it will not benefit Lu Shuihu at all, Ma Gelong thinks that Peng Hu is also a far-sighted person, and the Shu people are their real common enemy, only the Ma Lanqiang people and the Lu Shuihu people join forces to truly resist the invasion of the Shu people, otherwise they will be broken by the Shu army and all perished.
