Chapter 33, The Empire Kills God (4)
Especially those soldiers from the small Western Land country were all determined to rob and make money, and they had no combat power. At this moment, it was a miracle to be able to obey Sterling's command and gather together in a hurry.
In the early morning of January 7th, the inner city of Loulan City, the northwestern province of the Empire, was the temporary command of the Flying Cavalry Legion, one of the top ten legions of the Empire.
"Uncle Zhang, please order the army to attack, the enemy is in chaos." The person who spoke was Ma Hongluan, the only daughter of Ma Chongjun, the highest military commander of the northwest province of the empire, the guardian of Loulan City, and the commander of the Flying Cavalry Legion.
"Niece, don't be anxious. How could there be our troops in this radius of hundreds of miles? This must be the enemy's conspiracy, so let's wait." Zhang Guangze, the temporary military commander of the northwestern province of the Empire and deputy commander of the Flying Cavalry Legion.
This man was the eldest son of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, the general under the Empire Taizu. He has been in the Fei Cavalry for nearly ten years. Although Shen had no talent, Sheng's family background was prominent and his personality was steady. Moreover, his son was still close to Ma Hongluan, so he was deeply trusted by Ma Chongjun.
Since his father was assassinated by the Westerners, Zhang Guangze has taken over the command of the entire Flying Cavalry Legion according to Emperor*.
But Zhang Guangze was not very active in the attack of the Westerners. He hid in the command center every day and said that he was sad and could not be sad.
Moreover, Zhang Guangze has been in the Flying Cavalry for more than ten years and has many followers. These people support him, but instead isolated the original Ma Chongjun and other people.
In the past few days, if Ma Hongluan hadn't personally led his troops to the city wall to supervise the battle, he would have been afraid that the inner city would have been lost long ago.
The outer city was already in chaos, with fires rising everywhere, shouting to kill the sky, but he still said it was a conspiracy of the Western coalition and refused to go to war.
How could Ma Hongluan not be in a hurry!
"Wait a little longer, the Western army will all gather together!" Ma Hongluan said anxiously.
"Niece, how can you talk to me like this? Have you forgotten how your second brother died?" Zhang Guangze snorted coldly.
Ma Hongluan's second brother, Ma Qianlong, the commander of the Cavalry Division of the Flying Cavalry Legion, died in the chaos three days ago in a counterattack.
Deputy Army, my second brother rushed out that day, but you didn't send troops to support him, so Hongluan was angry when he was defeated that day.
"Come on, pull Captain Ma down!" Zhang Guangze's face turned dark.
"Who dares you?" Ma Hongluan glared at him, and the Han soldiers who rushed up were stunned. Ma Chong's army was extremely strict in control, and was very strict in leniency and strong in his subordinates. However, Zhang Guangze is in power now and takes over military power. There are not many people who can speak well.
"Zhang Juntuan and Battalion Commander Ma are also doing things for the sake of official business. Now that the enemy is in front of you, it's not good to do this." A division commander came out and said.
"Okay, let's record your fault for the time being." Zhang Guangze sneered.
"Deputy Army Zhang, please give me two thousand cavalry and I will go out to fight." Ma Hongluan came from a family of military generals and his martial arts were well-known for his father's true teachings.
"How can that be done? Since you are the cavalry battalion commander of my Flying Cavalry Legion, you must obey my command! Niece, you are back to your room to rest. My son is still waiting to marry you." Zhang Guangze smiled proudly.
"I will say goodbye at the end!" Ma Hongluan felt cold and shook her hands.
"Zhang Juntuan, aren't you afraid that she will take her first battalion to fight?" said a Zhang Guangze's confidant.
"It's just right to go out, but the guardian of the gate is ours. If she doesn't leave the city, it's better if she dares to force her out of the city. If she dares to go out, she will be punished for disobeying military discipline. At that time, her military power will be justified. Moreover, her battalion has killed only a few hundred people in the past few days, and she will die if she goes out. The Western Alliance has hoarded more than 100,000 people, so it's not that easy to come in. I guess only a few prisoners and civilians are in trouble." Zhang Guangze said disdainfully.
