The last three kingdoms

Chapter 711
The vanguard of the Shu army was Fu Zhu's Tiger Cavalry Army. It took only two days to set off from Suyi, and they had already reached the city of Zhiqi County, Xinping County.

Don't look at the huge rebellion of the Hu people in Beidi. Except for Fuping, the governor of Beidi County, which fell to Qi Wannian, the other three counties in the four northern counties are still firmly in the hands of the Shu army. Needless to say, Linjin, the prefecture of Fengyi County, Qi County, the prefecture of Xinping County, and Linjing, the prefecture of Anding County, never fell.

After Fu Zhu arrived in Qi County, he met Zhang Hua, the prefect of Xinping. Zhang Hua was very familiar with the situation of Malan Qiang in Xinping. With him as a guide, Fu Zhu killed Malan Mountain in one fell swoop. , and gave him the lair of the Malan Qiang people.

In order to expand the territory, Ma Gelong took almost all the main force of Malan Qiang to attack Xizhou. He originally thought that the Shu army would not be able to fight through Beidi County for a while, not to mention the dangerous terrain of Malan Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the Shu army went down the mountain, they might not be able to do anything about it.

So Magron didn't think about the safety of the old nest at all, and took most of his troops to attack Xizhou, competing with the Lushuihu people, leaving only a small part of his troops to guard Malan Mountain.

When Fu Zhu reached the foot of Mount Malan, he did not rush to attack the mountain. Instead, he besieged Mount Malan and sent some locals who could speak Qiang language to shout to the mountain to ask the Malan Qiang people on the mountain to surrender.

Ma Gelong's younger brother Ma Gecheng was sitting in Malan Mountain. Although there were not many people, he resisted stubbornly by virtue of the danger of the mountain and refused to surrender.

Regardless of the fact that the Tiger Cavalry Army is a cavalry force, the Shu army's tradition of being good at mountain warfare has not been lost. They abandoned horses and fought, and they are still famous among the local mountain elites.Fu Zhu saw that Ma Gecheng refused to surrender, and before Liu Yin's main force arrived, he took the lead in attacking Malan Mountain.

At first, Ma Gecheng saw that all the soldiers surrounding the mountains were cavalry troops of the Shu army, but he didn't take it seriously. The cavalry can be said to have an absolute advantage in fighting on flat ground, but steep mountains are not their strong point in combat. Ma Gecheng Cheng ordered the Qiang soldiers to guard the critical pass on the mountain, waiting for Ma Gelong to return to help.

However, Ma Gecheng obviously underestimated the mountain combat capability of the cavalry of the Shu Army. Just when he felt safe and sound, Fu Zhuo had already led the army to remove the outer strongholds of Malan Mountain and killed them under the big village of Malan Mountain.

At this time, Ma Gecheng was a little panicked. He never expected that the cavalry of the Shu army was so powerful in mountain combat, and the dangerous outlying fortifications were wiped out by the Shu army in just one night. , he just fell asleep and found that the Shu army was already approaching the stronghold.

Ma Gecheng couldn't help cursing at the idiots. These Qiang soldiers guarding the outlying strongholds didn't know what they were eating. They didn't know what happened when they were attacked at night. There are not many, and Ma Gecheng is not sure how to resist the enemy's attack from the Shu army.

At this time, Fu Zhu had already ordered the attack on the mountain. Seeing the lush vegetation around the Dazhai of Malan Mountain, Fu Zhu first ordered the Shu army to set fire to the mountain.

There are dense forests and grasslands around the Dazhai in Malan Mountain. Now in the early winter season, all the grasses are withered, and the mountains and the mountains are all yellow. Malan Dazhai on the top of the mountain was also engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

The Qiang people in the mountain stronghold were burned to death, howling and mourning, and many died.

Seeing that the situation was over, Ma Ge had no choice but to run away. Fu Zhuo did not kill them all, and he did not deliberately send troops to stop Ma Ge Gecheng who was frantically fleeing for his life. His mission was to capture Malan Mountain. The lair, even if it is a devastating blow to Magron.

"What? Malan Mountain has fallen?" Ma Gelong looked at Ma Gecheng, who was so disgraced and his eyebrows and hair were mutilated by the fire, he was stunned.

Malan Mountain is the base of the Malan Qiang people, and it is the foundation of Malan Qiang's foothold in Guanlong. Once Malan Mountain falls, the Malan Qiang army that is on the expedition will become a rootless floating weed.Ma Gelong couldn't help feeling remorseful, thinking about expanding the territory, but he didn't realize that the old nest was taken over by others. It was really a big loss.

"Brother, the people of Shu set fire to the mountain, and Mount Malan was burned to the ground. All women, children, old and young were buried in the sea of ​​flames. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen you, brother. We must avenge this revenge! "Ma Ge burst into tears, crying bitterly.

Of course Ma Gelong also wants to take revenge, but he is much more sensible than Ma Gecheng. Now most of the Malan and Qiang tribes in Xinping County have been wiped out by the Shu army. Once the pockets are done, just wait for Magron to drill into it. At this time, returning to Xinping will not help the war except for being emotional.

What's more, when we went to Xizhou to fight this time, the food and grass brought by Ma Gelong were limited, and the loss of the Malan Mountain base camp also lost the food and grass gathered by the Malan Qiang people. For food and grass, the Malan Qiang people were almost driven to a desperate situation.

In front are the incompatible Lushuihu people, and behind them is the aggressive Shu army. Ma Gelong, who thought the situation was good, fell into a desperate situation in an instant. Whether it is Lushuihu people or Shu people, everyone is demanding their lives. Yan Luo wanted his life, Magron almost collapsed.

Surrendering to the Kingdom of Shu, Ma Gelong didn't know what the end was waiting for him. As a rebel, if he was captured before the court of Shu Han, his fate would be extremely tragic. He would either be quartered by five horses or hacked into pieces , Such a way of dying, even thinking about it makes me shudder.

Of course Magron didn't want to die. It had only been two short months since he joined the army. The ambition in Magron's heart hadn't been realized yet, so how could he be willing to die.

After thinking about it, there is only one way to surrender to the Lushui Hu people. Although they have just had a feud in Xizhou and have a deep grudge against each other, if the Malan Qiang people are wiped out by the Shu army, it will be very difficult for Lushui. Shuihu is of no benefit at all. Ma Gelong believes that Peng Hu is also a man of foresight, and the Shu people are their real common enemy. Only the Malan Qiang and Lushui Hu people can truly resist the Shu people Invasion, otherwise they will be defeated one by one by the Shu army and all perish.
