Ma Qi led an infantry brigade to arrive, and what he saw was that his own soldiers were disgraced, and many of them were injured.
"Dad! You're here, this bastard's firepower is too strong, he can't be penetrated at all!"
Ma Qi is a relatively fierce person and very cruel. Maybe this is the reason why Ma Jiajun became a bandit army.
"I don't believe this evil! No matter how powerful his firepower is, bullets are free of charge?" Ma Qi obviously didn't believe it. After all, if he has strong firepower, it means spending money.
I really don’t know where Yunhan got so much money from.
"Dad, I heard that Zhang Yunhan sent out a division to fight us. Now there is only one regiment in front of us."
"A group?"
"You can't take down just one regiment?" Ma Qi looked at Ma Bufang and almost whipped him with a riding crop.
"There are 3,200 people in one group."
Hearing what Ma Bufang said, Ma Qi retracted his raised hand.
"A group of 3,000 people? Damn it! Who has ever seen a group of 3,000 people?"
"One division, then there are two regiments? Why didn't I receive the news?" Ma Qi, who has been in Qing Province for so many years, soon discovered that something was wrong. Only one of the three regiments was there. Frontally, who would fight like this? Either it's a flat push, or there's some plan.
"Dad, does this kid have any bad feelings that he hasn't been able to hold back?"
"How do I know?" Ma Qi didn't look good. If he hadn't listened to Ma Bufang and sent two brigades to provoke Zhang Yunhan, he would have been fine at this time.
"Report!!"
"A large number of enemy troops appeared on both sides of our army!!"
The messenger almost broke in directly. Ma Qi was not angry, but Verne was frightened!
"What's wrong! They want to annihilate our Ma's army!"
Ma Qi stood up in shock! I quickly came to the observation point and picked up the telescope to take a look.
"Quickly, gather the troops and retreat towards Xiping!!"
Ma Bufang originally wanted to stop it, but when he thought about it, if he wanted to annihilate the 3,000 people in front of his seven or eight thousand people, he would probably have to suffer heavy losses. Moreover, the enemy had already come from behind. If he could not escape the encirclement now, he would have to rely on It is extremely difficult for one's own firepower to break through the encirclement. What's more, I don't know if Zhang Yunhan has any backup plans. Ma Bufang quickly gathered his troops and prepared to retreat.
Woohoo~
Woo~
boom! !
The position was instantly destroyed by air waves. The 105mm howitzer shells directly blasted more than a dozen large craters two meters deep and six meters wide in the position. The people at the center of the explosion could hardly find any trace of their existence. The air waves rolled in and they had just left the house. Ma Bufang and Ma Qi were blown around.

This is Zhang Yunhan's new heavy artillery regiment. Of course, only one artillery battalion of 12 105mm howitzers was shipped. Zhang Yunhan was not satisfied with this because he preferred the lefh18 howitzer and the bald eagle howitzer, but there is no chance now.
The first salvo ended, and five minutes later, there was another salvo.
At this time, Ma Jiajun only felt that the world was dark, and he was dizzy from the shock. Many people near the crater were already holding their heads and rolling crazily on the ground.
Ma Qi and Ma Bufang had never seen such a scene before, and they quickly shrank back on the battlefield. Fortunately, their place was relatively far back.
Ma Qi knew in his heart that he could no longer wait in this situation and had to run away. As for resisting? What are you thinking about? The sound of the artillery sounded like heavy artillery. I really didn't expect that Zhang Yunhan actually had heavy artillery.
Ma Qi hurriedly pulled Ma Bufang towards the cavalry regiment. When he arrived, he found that many of the horses had disappeared, and there were only about a hundred horses left.
Ma Qi cruelly abandoned these people and ran towards Xiping with his son. His wife and children were still in the city, and he still had family property. He couldn't get the property, so he had to take his wife and children with him.
A hundred people quickly retreated towards Xiping, with continuous explosions behind them. Ma Qi was already old. Looking at the two brigades behind him caught in the flames, his heart was full of unwillingness, but it was better to be unwilling than to die.
As he got closer and closer to Xiping City, Ma Qi realized that something was not quite right!
Call!
A hundred people looked at the city wall in disbelief. Xiping was lost! !
"Damn it! Let's go! Run south!"
A hundred or so people quickly turned their horses around, and within a few hundred meters they saw a troop of more than 800 people waiting for them.
"Stop running! Chairman Ma! There is a brigade around here. If you can't run out, you are already surrounded."
Ma Qi and Ma Bufang didn't give up, but as soon as they turned their horses' heads, they saw a large number of troops appearing from behind, and the same was true for things.
That's right, in order to annihilate Qingma in one fell swoop and also to train troops, Lu Boxian followed Zhang Yunhan's wishes and dispatched a division and a brigade.
In fact, after the reorganization was completed, the Northwest Army had only one division with more than 13,000 men. The 80,000-man army was reorganized into 5 divisions, 2 brigades of 7,000 men, an artillery division, two mountain artillery regiments and a howitzer regiment.
In order to be sure, Zhang Yuntai did not attack directly, but faced off and inflicted most of the enemy's casualties. With Ma Bufang's thoughts, if he could not find the other two regiments, he would definitely ask for help. After all, retreating to Xiping would only lead to death.
Xiping was already short of troops. Taking advantage of Ma Qi's support, Zhang Yuntai commanded Wang Xin's 1st Brigade to attack Xiping at night last night. The defenders were short of troops, and with the proper layout, there was no chance of any fish slipping through the net.
After Ma Qi and Ma Bufang reunited, the 1st and 3rd regiments surrounded them from both sides. The howitzer battalions output firepower, leaving basically no room for resistance.
Knowing that each of these warlords valued life, Zhang Yuntai set up a large net in Xiping and invited you to enter the urn. No, Ma Qi and Ma Bufang had no room to struggle. He jumped into the encirclement.
