Bright Sword: I am Li Yunlong's old squad leader

"All brothers, listen carefully. All the brothers who are participating in this operation, change into the uniforms of the Ma family army."

"Yes……"

Half an hour later, 2000 cavalrymen set out in a mighty force.

Behind the cavalry were five carriages.

This Italian cannon is not only powerful, but also easy to drag. You only need to tie the Italian cannon to a carriage and it can be dragged very quickly.

……

The high platform, the main force of the Red Army was trapped here.

In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped sharply.

The north wind is blowing.

The gate of Gaotai City has been blown open.

The gate was filled with corpses, most of which were from the Ma family's army.

Although the gate of Gaotai City was blown open, the Ma family army still did not set foot into the city.

Gaotai is an earthen city, not very big.

The soldiers inside not only lacked clothes, but also had almost run out of bullets and shells.

The only thing they can use to fight against the Ma family army now is the blunt knives in their hands.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Ma, take your men and move all the wounded to the fire. It's too cold, don't let them freeze to death."

"Yes……"

All the people were mobilized. Among the thousands of Red Army soldiers trapped on the platform, most of them were injured.

But as long as they can move, no one will not join the battle.

The aroma of barbecue wafted over from outside Gaotai City. The Ma family army lit hundreds of bonfires outside the city.

The Ma family soldiers sat by the campfire, eating barbecue, drinking wine, and smoking opium.

The aroma of the barbecue was blown into the city by the wind. The soldiers in Gaotai City smelled the aroma of the barbecue and became even hungrier.

"Red bandits, you have been surrounded, come out and surrender quickly.

If you surrender, I will give you a piece of meat." Ma Liangyong held a saber with a piece of lamb leg stuck on it.

"If you bandits want to eat meat and drink wine, then raise your hands and come out to surrender. I guarantee you will eat meat and drink wine in big mouthfuls."

Ma Liangyong put the piece of lamb leg in his mouth and started to chew it. After he finished eating, he picked up the water bag and poured it into his mouth. The water bag was full of 60-degree roasted pork.

"Red bandits, you have been surrounded. Either you come out and surrender, or you will die in the city."

"Let me tell you, half of the 2000 people you rushed out of here have been killed by us, and the rest have all been captured by us."

"You have no hope anymore."

When the soldiers in the city heard this, they gnashed their teeth in anger.

"Captain, I'll lead my men out to grab some food."

"Commander, I'll go too. We can't let ourselves be suffocated to death by urine. As long as we rush over and grab some food, the wounded can survive."

Dong Zhentang shook his head. The other party was clearly setting a trap, waiting for the soldiers to fall into it.

"Commander, if we stay here, we will die. We might as well fight these beasts. Even if we die, we'll die quickly."

At this moment, many soldiers stood up, holding large knives with broken edges in their hands.

"Comrades, calm down and don't act rashly. They are trying to lure us out. Everyone should be alert. Prepare to fight them and attack the city again."

The three brothers Ma Liangyong, Ma Liangjun and Ma Liangwei sat beside the bonfire, eating mutton and drinking wine, but no soldier came out for a long time.

"Brothers, keep an eye on them. Launch the attack in the second half of the night." Ma Liangyong stood up and cursed a few words.

At this moment, a signalman ran over and handed the telegram sent by Wang Tianyou to Ma Liangyong with both hands.

"Commander, what does this mean? Are they asking us to withdraw?" Ma Liangyong took the telegram and looked at it, completely puzzled.

"Brothers, come and take a look. Sir, what does this mean? Let's suspend the attack."

Ma Liangyong shook the telegram in his hand, and Ma Liangjun and Ma Liangwei came over quickly.

"Impossible. The commander hates these bandits so much that he would never let us retreat without a reason."

"The commander asked us to retreat most likely to lure these red bandits out of the city."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

"I won't retreat. I've been fighting this gang of bandits for so long, and so many of my brothers have died. I will never let these beasts go."

"Brothers, we are on the front line and we are not subject to the king's orders. As long as we can kill these beasts, the commander will never blame us."

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Wang Tianyou led 2000 cavalrymen and was marching rapidly towards the platform.

All of Wang Tianyou's men changed into Ma family army uniforms. Although they encountered many Ma family army soldiers along the way, the Ma family army did not have any doubts about their identities.

"Comrades, hurry up. The sooner you get to the high platform, the sooner you can join the battle and rescue more people."

"Yes……"

Everyone rushed forward regardless of the biting cold wind.

At ten o'clock the next morning, everyone rushed to the platform.

Ma Liangyong and his soldiers are besieging the platform with all their might.

The Ma family army rushed towards the city gate regardless of everything, and the city gate was piled with frozen corpses.

clap clap clap...

clap clap clap...

Snap, snap, snap… snap, snap…

The Ma family army’s gunfire rang out.

Wang Tianyou saw this and shouted, "Zhu Zi, pull down all those Italian cannons and aim them at the Ma family soldiers and shoot them hard."

Wang Chengzhu blew a whistle, and ten Italian cannons lined up in a row.

He quickly raised his right hand and used his thumb to measure the direction and distance.

"Bearing 1230. Distance 2100."

Following Wang Chengzhu's shout, the main gunners of each gun quickly repeated Wang Chengzhu's instructions and adjusted the guns into position.

"Direction 1230, distance , already adjusted into place."

"Bearing 1230, distance 2100, ready to launch at any time."

"One high-explosive round, fire."

As Wang Chengzhu waved his hand, everyone quickly loaded high-explosive bombs.

Then the gunner pulled the gun rope hard.

There was a loud rumble of artillery fire.

Ten high-explosive shells broke free and flew straight towards the Ma family army.

There was a loud rumbling sound of cannons. The Ma family army, which was attacking the city, never expected that they were ambushed.

The shells exploded violently among the Ma family army.

The Ma family army was caught off guard.

These ten high-explosive shells killed at least more than 100 Ma family soldiers.

Before the Ma family army could react, the second round of artillery fire had already begun, with shells whistling towards them.

There was a loud rumbling sound of explosions.

The second round of shelling was more accurate and fiercer than the first.
