Volume 5 Divine Wind and Rain Volume Chapter 13 Fierce Battle in Dingxi
.
The follow-up troops of the Fang army were in full force. The enemy was strengthening fortifications on both sides of the highway east of Guguan and on the north and south hills. After inspecting the position, Ma Fulu stayed in Guguan for rest. He never thought that Zhao Gang had already known the reality of the Ma army and attacked directly from the weak flanks.
In Gansu in July and August, the morning weather was still a little chill, but the soldiers could no longer feel it. The excitement before the war made some people sweat.
The order for the general attack was issued. The 2nd Regiment and 3rd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Northwest Army of the Northwest Army immediately rushed towards the Guguan defending enemy in a form of a clamp. The 3rd Foreward Battalion entered the southwest of Guguan and carried out a roundabout encirclement. The 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Regiment, with the cooperation of the regiment's spy company and the division guard company, climbed the northern mountain of Guguan from Chenjiashan to attack the defending enemy. The rest of the 1st Division attacked the enemy flanks. The task of these troops was to try to hold down the elite troops arranged by Ma Fulu as much as possible to create conditions for the other way.
The second command of Liang Xinghua launched a frontal attack towards Dingxi along the fire. Although Zhao Gang liked to defeat the enemy in a dignified manner, this did not mean that Zhao Gang would not use strategies, especially when he knew the enemy very clearly. Since Ma Fulu had a formation of two dragons playing with the pearl, Zhao Gang naturally wanted to go to the pearl and then wipe out the two dragons.
Suddenly, in the quiet valley, gunfire, grenade explosions, and the shouts of the soldiers were heard. The enemy was shocked by this sudden blow and turned toward each other. Ma Fulu waved his command knife and supervised the troops to respond hastily; while holding a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield.
Dingxi City is now shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder, and there are also yelling killing sounds in front of him, but few people are actually rushing over. Obviously, the enemy's landlord is in Dingxi, but how do the enemy know that there are only a few hundred people guarding Dingxi City? If there is no rescue, Dingxi City will inevitably fall. And without the support of Dingxi City, he will not be able to survive. Thinking of this, Ma Fulu immediately ordered: "The whole army will attack, and the northern army will be eliminated from the inside and outside." The densely packed Ma family cavalry rushed out. They were all warriors who had been through many battles, and they could be said to be Ma Fuxiang's elite.
Just at this moment, the artillery soldiers of the Northern Army showed their might. After one shot, tens of thousands of cannons were fired. Countless shells poured onto the enemy's positions like hail, causing the enemy to cry and howl, and the people turned over. Ma Fulu rode a horse and fell to the ground by a shrapnel. Blood gushed out like a fountain, spurting Ma Fulu, who was pressing underneath, and was covered with blood. Half the horse's legs were beating slightly in the soil, as if they were still galloping, and blood flowed out. Mixed with the loess, it quickly wrapped a layer of mud plasma in the broken leg.
Ma Fulu's adjutant was blown out of recognition. After struggling for a few times, he died. The guard crawled out of the soil, miraculously uninjured, and blood from other places dyed a few red on his clothes, dirty. He grinned and screamed. His two bloody hands kept smearing on his face. After a while, he opened his eyes and saw that the surroundings had turned into hell on earth.
Ma Fulu was pressed under the horse, covered in mud and plasma. It took a lot of effort to move himself away from the dead horse. I could no longer hear whether Ma Fulu was yelling in pain or venting his fear. But Ma Fuxiang was an old corpse after all, so he quickly calmed down. While shouting like a cow, he gritted his teeth and shouted to the army.
"You all resist me. Whoever dares to retreat, I will kill him on the spot!"
When Ma Fulu saw that the guard was still alive, he was surprised and happy. He pointed at the horse with his right finger and ordered:
"Damn it! Give it a shot, hurry! Don't let him suffer!"
The guards forgot the pain and were so scared that they were trembling all over, and their hands did not obey the command at all. It was like bandaging Ma Fulu's wound.
Ma Fulu pointed at the horse, cursed and ordered the guards:
"Mom! I'm not hurt, hurry up and give the horse a result!"
When the guard saw the thing, he was so scared that his face looked like earth, and he stood aside like a wooden stake. He couldn't figure it out in his heart:
"The patriarch is going to kill the horse!"
Ma Fulu grabbed the command knife with his right hand, and slashed the back of the guard's neck with his back, cursed:
"Damn it! Shoot!"
The guard was knocked to the ground in a panic and then got up in panic. Finally, he made up his mind to kill the horse. He was lucky enough not to die under the artillery of the Northern Army, but he was worried that Ma Fulu would slash him with one knife.
Ma Fulu was about to retreat when he suddenly tripped by something under his feet and almost fell down. He looked down and saw two gold bars in the soil.
The guards also found the gold bars and hurriedly bent over to pick them up, but they didn't know what to do.
Ma Fulu kicked the guard down with one kick, snatched the gold bar from the guard's hand, and stuffed it into his pocket without even looking.
Unexpectedly, the gold bar fell down again and smashed two blood bags on the head of the guard climbing up. The guard fell on his head for some reason. He was in pain and frightened. He covered his forehead with one hand and shouted "Oh, Ah, Ah,"
Ma Fulu then found that his pocket was blown up. He mumbled, bent down, grabbed the gold bars with mud, and said in a swearing manner:
"Damn it! What a pity, I..."
It was not until then that several tribe members came. Ma Fulu only gave one order:
"You guys can hold on to me and you won't be allowed to retreat!"
Before the officers could reply, Ma Fulu and the guards climbed onto the horse, took a few confidants, and fled in a panic.
The enemy lost the commander, but the command did not loosen, but instead became even more fierce.
The enemy defended the south side of Guguan divided his troops and launched a fierce attack on the 3rd Regiment of the Northern Army for most of the day. The Northern Army fought hard to defend the enemy. The enemy's multiple charges were counterattacked by our army, and the battle became fierce.
At noon, the eastern sky gradually smeared the orange red. The strong wind pressed the thick smoke from the sky to the western sky.
At the same time, the northern troops of the Northern Army also fell into a tough battle...
More than 2,000 people from the Ma family army divided their troops and braved the enemy's artillery fire. They bravely attacked the northern army on the big and small ridges southeast of Guguan Town.
