Ma Shaotang, the county magistrate of Lixian County, was appointed as the brigade commander of the second brigade. Soon, Ma Tingxian informed Ma Shao to take up his post in Qin 'an. Ma Shaotang was suspicious and thought it was "diverting the tiger from the mountain", so he raised food, expanded the militia, renovated the Yugoslav capital, prepared to resist by force, and asked for help everywhere. After getting ready, Ma Shaotang put the newly sent county magistrate An Lan into prison. When Ma Tingxian heard this, he was furious and sent Han Jinlu and Wang Zhanlin to Lixian with a rate of 6, troops. The siege began on June 17 of the lunar calendar, and the city gates were stormed on all sides. Ma Shaotang stuck to the city, and the two sides confronted each other for more than 2 days. Ma Shaotang ran out of food and foreign aid was hopeless, so he sent people to negotiate. Han Jinlu and Wang Zhanlin, while negotiating, invited coal mine technicians to prepare for bombing the city. On June 1th, Ma Tingxian's army dug a tunnel under the northeast city wall, then blew down the city wall with explosives, and troops swarmed in.

The massacre lasted for a whole day and night, with more than 8, people in the city, more than 7,2 deaths, dead bodies everywhere and rivers of blood. Ma Shaotang was captured, escorted to Tianshui and killed. Only more than 2 people under Captain Ding of Lixian Security Team came out of the city, and blood flowed into the drainage channels in the city. Only more than 1 civilians hiding in the shop of Mr. Liao Kuanchuan (who was a member of Tianshui Senate) in Dongxiang County were not harmed by him.

On June 27th, people in Peony Garden and Yangjiasi of Tianshui County organized a "fan meeting" to resist the atrocities of the 3rd Army. So he ordered troops to be sent to suppress it, and the heads of those killed were displayed at the gate of the electric light bureau. In that year, it was ordered to destroy all banknotes in the jurisdiction, and all transactions and taxes were paid in silver.

From February 8 to 16, Han Jinlu, his subordinate, clashed with each other. Han occupied Tianshui city, gathered troops from all counties to besiege it, fought fiercely and broke the city, and plundered it wantonly. On May 2, representatives of the masses in counties in Longnan charged Longnan appeasement army with crimes such as killing people and demanding taxes and donations. The Kuomintang Central Committee sent Yan Erai, an inspector to Gansu, to check the newspaper and strictly accepted Ma Tingxian's heavy bribe of 2, yuan, that is, reversing the facts and covering up for Ma Tingxian. Later, the people sued the National Government Supervision Institute, and the result was nothing. In mid-October, Wu Peihu, a warlord who was dormant in Sichuan, led more than 2 people to Tianshui County via Wudu. He set up a "General Hangyuan on Fuwei" for Wu Peifu in Jiuwen Building, and at that time ten gentry bureaucrats scrambled to cling to it. After Wu Peifu got wind of Shaanxi Army's intention to expel, he left Tianshui and went to Lanzhou via Gangu.

Ma Hongbin thought that most of his troops were habitual bandits, and he was afraid that these people would be difficult to control.
