    Having been attacking the "Anxi Army" position for a whole day, Ma Hongbin was almost going crazy: he could see that he was very close to Yinchuan City, but he could never go any further.  The firepower of the "Anxi Army" was so fierce that dozens of horses in one of his cavalry regiments were frightened and fled far away.

    The Ningxia army envied these escaping horses: How desirable it is to be able to choose between life and death to escape!  Originally I thought that fighting on flat ground, the brave and capable Huihui cavalry army would have a great advantage, but now it seems that giving up the dangerous pass is clearly a path to death!  He fell into a trap!

    He was still stuck in the thinking of the cold weapon age, believing that with well-trained horses and brave and capable cavalry, he would be at least as good as the cavalry of the "Anxi Army" on the plains, and of course much stronger than the infantry.

    But when the "Anxi Army" faced the charging cavalry, they fired row after row of rifles in an orderly manner.  The regiment's machine gun company used dense bullets to inflict a brutal and almost devastating blow to the cavalry. Seeing that the Ma family army he relied on was cut to the ground like straw and seemed to have no ability to fight back, Ma Hongbin was heartbroken and bleeding.  The "Anxi Army" has too much firepower and is not at the same level as them.

    But there was no way: as the gunfire from the North Tower gradually became sparse and the enemy troops behind became more and more numerous, it could be expected that the North Tower had been lost.  The "Anxi Army" is gathering more and more. If they can't break through the opposite position to join the Yinchuan defenders, the entire army will be wiped out here today.

    Ma Hongbin was under great pressure, and Ma Fuxiang was having a hard time.

    At the head of the city, he saw the piles of corpses of Ma Hongbin's cavalry and the extremely powerful military strength displayed by the "Anxi Army". Thinking that his son Ma Hongkui was still far away in Pingluo for a pointless and hopeless trap, he felt helpless for the first time.  He knew the strength of the troops stationed in Gansu, so what if Lanzhou reinforcements arrived?  Under this kind of firepower, isn¡¯t that just a bunch of cannon fodder?

    He regretted that he shouldn't have fought this battle: it was obviously a losing battle.

    In this case, it¡¯s time to figure out how to end this war with dignity.

    He discussed with his brother Ma Fushou how to deal with the current predicament. Ma Fushou had long lost confidence in defending the city. If the whole family hadn't been here, he would have thought of abandoning the city and fleeing.  Seeing that his younger brother, who was in power, wanted to sue for peace, he agreed: "Our army has no chance of winning. If Fengjun allows an honorable truce, as a brother, I should go to the enemy camp to explore the enemy's attitude in person."

    In the evening, Ma Fushou was ordered to leave the city and asked to contact the top officer of the "Anxi Army".  At this time, Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun were already confident of victory and were already discussing the future operational arrangements of the "Anxi Army" in Gansu.  When they heard that someone from Yinchuan was coming to negotiate, the two looked at each other and smiled: It's over for Yinchuan!

    Ma Fushou was brought to the headquarters. When he saw Zhang Hanqing, his first words were: "I have been ordered by the Ningxia Army Protector to discuss a truce with you."

    Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "Since you are a representative, please take a seat." Then he changed the subject and said: "The situation is now very clear. Whether or not there is a truce is up to you."

    Ma Fushou said sincerely: "The war has been going on for a long time. Many people in Ningxia have died of hunger and cold. Please show mercy to the young marshal and General Han and negotiate peace between the two families. Your army's entry into our land is nothing more than nothing.  I also ask you to negotiate terms for military rations and military supplies, and Envoy Ma will definitely act according to his ability."

    Zhang Hanqing said with a smile: "Do you think Mr. Zhang is fighting the autumn wind? The Anxi Army's entry into Gansu this time is to maintain local peace and develop the local economy, so as to end the state of local warlord separatism and establish a system in which the people are the masters of the country.  Government! After completing the military control of Gansu, I will work with all parties to work on the development of the national economy and people's livelihood, and with the ideal of "three dishes cooking righteousness", we will open up an unprecedented situation in the Republic of China."

    He said: "The two armies met each other in battle, and the envoy Ma Hujun missed the first opportunity for peace talks. Now the two sides are no longer at a truce, but you must surrender unconditionally within a time limit! In this way, the envoy Ma Hujun has done something for the people of Ningxia and  He has made great contributions to the country. In the future, when the new government of Ningxia is formed, the 'Anxi Army' will not ignore this merit. We also hope to use the reputation of the military guardian to make a difference in the new government."

    Ma Fushou said he could not accept it. He said: "The envoy is willing to give up the entire Ningxia city for the sake of the people, but your army must guarantee the dignity of the envoy and the entire Ningxia army. The besieged officers and soldiers of Pingluo City will allow them to do so."  Go back to the city so that you can evacuate with dignity. Otherwise, even if everyone is destroyed, the envoy cannot agree!"

    Han Linchun was furious. Could it be that after many days of hard fighting, he got an empty city?  The Ningxia army released the tiger and returned to the mountains, and there will be many hidden dangers in Ganpo in the future.  Moreover, if a defeated general still dares to speak bravely, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fall back into his old ways.  He looked at Ma Fushou coldly and said: "According to your Majesty's wishes, the 'Anxi Army' was defeated rather than won! The young marshal has already stated our attitude. Can you answerYes, please tell your envoy to inform the military envoy to make an early decision.  Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, the 'Anxi Army' will attack the city on time. When the time comes, the artillery fire will be merciless and the lives will be devastated. Don't regret it!  "

    He picked up the negotiation document that he had already drafted and said in a deep voice: "We have four principles for you and must respond before 8 o'clock tomorrow morning:

    1. The garrison forces of various departments in Ningxia are surrendering unconditionally instead of negotiating peace talks or truces. The entire army will leave the city at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.  Failure to do so will be regarded as stubborn resistance and the ¡®Anxi Army¡¯ will be completely defeated.

    2. The 'Anxi Army' guarantees that the safety and dignity of the surrendered troops will not be violated. All war criminals will be pardoned and prisoners of war will be released after education. Those who voluntarily return home will be paid travel expenses, and the sick and wounded will be treated. Those who are willing to join the 'Anxi Army'  be adapted.

    3. Order the garrison and local administrative personnel in all parts of Ningxia to maintain local security until the "Anxi Army" can successfully take over.  The received ministries will be led by the head of the department and handed over to the "Anxi Army" for disbandment.  "

    4. The ¡®Anxi Army¡¯ ensures that the private property of the military guards and their families will not be infringed upon.  Based on the principle of returning to the Han family, the new government to be established will respect Muslim customs and wishes, fully exercise autonomy under the recognition of the central legal authority, and keep the position of chairman of the autonomous region vacant, and protect the military envoys under its command.  Administrative staff will be selected on the basis of merit.  "

    Zhang Hanqing waited for him to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "What you want your envoy to know is that Liangzhou garrison envoy Ma Tingxiang has led his entire army to accept the reorganization of the 'Anxi Army'. Now our army has marched straight down the right flank. It was reported just now that it has been occupied."  Yongdeng, the flanking forwards have arrived at Gaolan, and Lanzhou City is just around the corner."

    He looked at Ma Fushou and said leisurely: "There is also a group of cavalry going up the Yellow River and will soon arrive at the foot of Zhongwei City. Where to go, please tell the guardian envoy to make a decision."

    Ma Fushou was shocked: the central defender is Ningxia's back-up route. If the central defender fails, the Ningxia army will be doomed.  He did not dare to stay any longer and hurried back to Yinchuan.  Zhang Hanqing and Han Linchun looked at each other, smiled, and said: "The situation in Ningxia has been decided, and the entire army can celebrate the New Year in Yinchuan."
