Among the 1,500 elite soldiers that Sa Bing'a asked people to select from his subordinates, 200 were Sauron soldiers, and the rest were Manchu Eight Banners who had been stationed in Jilin City for a long time. The reason for this selection was because these Manchu Eight Banners had a strong influence on Xiaobai Mountain.
The terrain is very familiar.
After having a detailed discussion with Zhunise, the first-class guard Bobin decided to wait until dark before taking action. In order to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, everyone will follow Zhunise's suggestion and smear river mud on their cotton armor to hide at night.
; At the same time, in order to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, Qing troops would wear white cloth strips on their left arms.
When the team of more than 1,500 people arrived at the source of the Lafa River, it was already early in the afternoon. Bobin ordered that everyone should wrap their horses' hooves in thick felt to avoid disturbing the birds in the forest.
Led by dozens of armored Sauron soldiers in front, they entered a valley on the southwest side of Xiaobai Mountain to hide.
The Qing army moved very smoothly along this route. Although they moved slowly, they did not encounter the Northern Navy. Both Bobin and Zhunise felt that it was God's blessing.
According to the previously planned strategy, Zhunise now has to rush back to the North Navy camp to meet up with other companions to act as an internal response. The launch time agreed upon by both parties is set at the beginning of the night.
This guy is also a ruthless person. Even Bobin and other guards felt inferior after seeing it. In order to make Bei Haijun believe that he was swept away by the rapids in the mountain and was injured and unable to survive, he simply found a river beach and jumped in first to get soaked.
, jumped up several times and fell directly onto the gravel, leaving bruises all over his body.
After that, Zhunise limped and disappeared into the dense forest, leaning on a tree trunk, accompanied by two Qing soldiers pretending to be Kurkhaqi hunters.
The later secular name "Zhang Guangcai Ridge" is actually derived from the transliteration of the Manchu "Zhegenchai Alin"; Zhegencai means good luck and good luck in Manchu, while Alin refers to the mountains.
But these are all folk names. On the official map of the Qing court, the northern section of Zhangguangcai Ridge is called "Xiaobai Mountain", the southern section is called Weihe Mountain, and the western section is Namuwoji (later known as Xi Laoye).
Ridge), and between the east and west mountains is the Jiaohe Basin. The Tuijiao Station where Zhao Xin and Liu Yong met before is located in the east of the Jiaohe Basin.
At present, as soon as the Western Front troops of the Northern Navy leave Xiaobai Mountain, their next attack target is Tuijiao Station. Seventy miles to the west from Tuijiao Station is the Qing army camp on the Lafa River.
Zhao Xin planned to stay here for a few days. Firstly, the Qing army on the front line of Lafa River was relatively strong and he was a little worried about leaving. Secondly, he wanted to wait for Jiuzang's troops to arrive in Erduoli before going there to provide support.
As for the Eastern Front Attack Force led by Lu Shoushan, he is not very worried. Now the Eastern Front Attack Force has captured Tulamukalen and is moving towards Hullamukalen. As long as Lu Shoushan can conquer the west front under the Xitu Mountain,
The Tukalun and Thor fleets can transport supplies through Mokuowei Bay on the north side of the Tumen River estuary.
After the Battle of Hunchun is over, the captured Qing troops can be directly shipped to Ezo and Kuye Island.
The rumbling sound of cannons broke the tranquility in the mountains and forests, and countless wild animals woke up from their dreams and fled in panic towards the depths of Changbai Mountain to the north.
Behind the attack position of the Northern Navy, an artillery position consisting of more than a dozen mortars was shelling the Qing army's Dizihao fortress at the western foot of Xiaobai Mountain. However, due to the terrain, the defending Qing army fell into disarray after the shelling began.
Hiding in a natural cave inside the fortress, it was difficult for mortar fire to hit, let alone 75mm field artillery.
During the several attacks launched by the Northern Navy in the morning, the Qing troops at the Dizihao Fortress went crazy. After igniting twenty kilograms of explosive bombs, they rolled down the mountain road; others used gourds filled with gunpowder and iron sand.
The flying thunder was thrown down as if it was free of charge. There was an explosion and roar on the mountain road, and white smoke billowed.
Taking advantage of the Bei Haijun's sight being blocked, the Qing army pushed out several mountain-splitting cannons and fired at the mountain road with shotgun shells. Another group of archers stood on the top of the slope where the Bei Haijun couldn't see it, pointing down.
Throwing arrows.
After so many battles with the Northern Navy, the Qing army has learned its lesson and won't fight head-on with you at all. If the cannon can't hit you, we'll just throw the shells. Anyway, there are a lot of explosive shells in the gunpowder magazine; the worst thing is to roll a pile of twenty-five-meter-twenty-twenty-twenty-year-old shells on the mountain road.
A big iron ball weighing 5 pounds can trip you up and break your head.
This Dizihao fortress was the largest fortress set up by the Qing army in front of Tuijiao Station. It had a lot of ordnance and supplies. It was previously responsible for supplying the fortress at the eastern foot of Xiaobai Mountain.
The Qing army responsible for guarding this place resisted desperately because their families were all in Jilin City, and these people had flag fields given by the imperial court.
After the beginning of spring, Beihai Town's seizure of land from banner people and the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Ningguta spread to Jilin City, causing thousands of banner families to worry. If the Beihai Navy were to attack Jilin, even if they surrendered, they would not have any land.
Okay, what will the family eat in the future?
The road guarded by the Dizihao Fortress is the only way to the Tuijiao Station. The small troops of the Northern Navy can go around it, but the large forces cannot go around it. There is only this road for dozens of miles around. The attacking company
We have been beaten back twice by the Qing army's thunder and bomb offensive. Although not many people were killed, many were injured. Many people were blown up by the gourd thunder.
Huji, who was at the headquarters, screamed angrily.
However, Zhao Xin is not in a hurry and just treats his troops as training. Anyway, Jiuzang's side is still traveling through the mountains, and Mount Lu Shoushan has not arrived yet. There is no point in rushing into the Jiaohe Basin too early. If he really scares Qinggui in advance
It was okay to run towards Shengjing, but once they went north to join the Qing army in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang City would be in danger.
Hu Ji said: "My lord, how about I lead the second company to attack? If we can't defeat them in two hours, I'll come and see you!"
Zhao Xin slapped the table and shouted to Hu Ji: "Save your head to eat, why are you so anxious?! The key to this battle is not to fight this fortress, do you understand that?!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Xin pointed to the map and continued: "The key to fighting on the Western Front is to wait until Jiuzang and the others arrive at Erduoli and block the Hunchun Qing army's westward escape route.
Defeat the enemy in front of you as quickly as possible, attack the city of Daxiu La City, and prevent the Jilin Qing army from escaping north. At that time, you need to stick to Daxiu La regardless of the cost. Now fight to the death of all the troops, and then follow
How to fight? Tell me!"
Hu Ji lowered his head and listened to Zhao Xin's scolding, not daring to say a word.
Zhao Xin secretly sighed. Among the first seven people who followed him, Hu Ji was one of a kind. He could be a company commander and a battalion commander, but he was really not the material to be a regiment leader. If there were no suitable people at hand, , he had already transferred him back to the Beihai Town Administration and Guard Corps.
This time Zhao Xin launched the "Hunchun Battle" and attracted the attention of all the people across time. Not only Liu Sheng and others in Irkutsk have been paying attention to the progress of the battle, but also the teachers at Beihai Town Primary School and the people at the power plant. Attention. Wang Yuanfang, who is based in Beihai Town, has received many calls in the past two days asking about the progress of the front line, which has made him very annoyed.
Compared to occupying the distant Lake Baikal, many of the warriors were more concerned about the Northern Navy moving closer to the south. After all, the further south they fought, the closer they were to Shanhaiguan. Some young warriors were also afraid that Qianlong would become so angry that he would vomit three liters of blood and die. Shen will slap his butt and run away.
However, for a group of ancients such as Wang Zhong, Liji, Zhinai, Wan Zao, etc., they are more concerned about Zhao Xin's wife Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan Tiangui did not come last month, and she occasionally had chest tightness and nausea, so she has not left yet. Zhao's mother paid attention to it. When the old lady accompanied Shen Xuan to the hospital to see Hong Tao for a separate examination, she realized that it was already there.
Of course, the news only spread within a small area, but it still made the early residents of Beihai Town happy.
Some people began to spread rumors privately that as long as Empress Shen can give birth to a son, even if King Zhao and his old man are recalled by God one day to continue to be gods, we will have a leader in Beihai Town.
When Chen Qingsong went home for dinner in the evening, he heard Qing He's words and immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He asked casually: "Who said Mr. Zhao will return to heaven and continue to be a god?"
While Qinghe was serving him dishes, he said: "Hey? Don't you know, sir? Many people are now spreading rumors privately that once the prince defeats the Manchus outside the customs, he will return to heaven and become a god... The braised pork is still hot on the fire, I'll bring it to you."
Chen Qingsong's eyebrows jumped, and he put down his bowl and chopsticks and thought for a moment. When Qing He came back with the dishes, he saw that he had not moved his bowl and chopsticks, and asked strangely: "Why don't you eat? The dishes are cold."
"Put down the bowl first and sit down." Chen Qingsong looked serious, which made Qinghe a little confused, thinking that he was fine just now. After sitting down, Chen Qingsong looked at Qinghe and said in a deep voice: "You follow me Let’s start from the beginning, who started spreading this word? Don’t miss a word.”
Qing He had never seen Chen Qingsong look like this before. He recalled: "At around two o'clock in the afternoon..."
By the time Chen Qingsong finished listening, his face was already turning blue. He stood up, picked up his coat, and said to Qing He, "I'm going out for a while."
Qing He looked at her man with a worried look. She didn't expect that a few rumors would make Chen Qingsong not even bother to eat. Thinking of what she heard in the afternoon, Qing He sat at the dinner table blankly. No appetite at all.
After Chen Qingsong went out, he thought about it. He originally wanted to go to Yu Deli, but he stopped halfway and said to the accompanying guard chief: "Let's go to the Hedong Barracks."
After Wang Yuanfang received the call from the guard at the base gate, he was stunned for a long time. He didn't understand why Chen Qingsong was looking for him so late at night. Why couldn't he talk to him on the phone if he had something to do? He put down the phone and looked at the alarm clock on the table. It was almost nine o'clock. Already.
After Chen Qingsong saw Wang Yuanfang, he asked the few guards who followed him to wait in other rooms. He told Wang Yuanfang what he heard from Qing He, and the two chatted until late at night...
The Dizihao fortress in Xiaobaishan was not captured even at dusk. In the afternoon, the Northern Navy changed its tactics. It selected soldiers with good marksmanship and dispatched only one squad at a time. Under the cover of shelling, they gradually attacked from 400 meters away.
As long as the Qing army dares to take the lead, it will be saturated with fire!
The Qing army had no choice but to continue to use the "rolling thunder" trick, constantly throwing explosive bombs and flying thunder down the mountain road. After a long time of fighting, the Beihai navy was not injured, but there were not many flying thunder in the fortress.
Although there are still a lot of gunpowder and iron bullets for blunderbuss, there are not many gourds left.
Before dark, the arms of the Qing troops who had thrown artillery shells and flying thunderbolts into Dizihao Fortress all day were sore and weak. Even so, in order to prepare for the night attack of the Northern Navy, the garrison arranged for everyone to take turns to rest, and did not dare to slack off at all.
.
At the same time, at the Beihai Navy logistics warehouse one mile away from Zhao Xin's headquarters, Zhu Dagui and others, who had just returned from the front line, learned the good news that Zhunise, a Hezhe native who slipped and fell into the torrent of a deep valley yesterday, was not dead.
, was sent back by a Kurkhachi hunter.
When the Hezhe man named Qibukadai heard about it, he hurried to a nearby field hospital without even having dinner.
Thanks to years of hard work and personal supervision by Zhao Xin, the logistics supply of the Beihai Navy is unparalleled in this time and space.
Front-line troops can not only eat hot food, but also receive quick treatment after being injured. The residential medical system established by Hong Tao and Liu Siting can dispatch a large number of medical staff at any time to support front-line operations. Antibiotics and other drugs from another time and space
The use of it effectively eliminates the problem of wound infection.
Qibukadai passed the inspection with his identity card, and soon saw Zhu Nise lying in the tent wrapped in gauze. As soon as the two met, they first talked about the disaster in Manchu for a while.
Immortal, thanking the mountain god, etc. After Qibukadai went out to pee and noticed that there was no one outside the tent, he walked into the tent and asked in a low voice: "Have you been contacted?"
Zhunise did not answer, but asked in a low voice: "Is that person still there?"
Qibukadai nodded and said, "It's more than a mile away from here, in a mountain valley."
Zhu Nise leaned into his ear and whispered: "I am injured and have difficulty moving. This side of the hospital belongs to me, and the other side of the hospital is entirely up to you. Remember! Chou Chu, our people wrapped their left arms with a white cloth band.
Lord Bobin leads 1,500 elite soldiers. Go and tell the others to start the fire as a signal. We must not let him escape this time!"
Qibukadai nodded. There were five of them in the group. Except for himself and Zhunise who were in the same team, the others were scattered among the migrant workers' teams in the other three villages. He had to leave quickly now while he was eating.
Time to contact those people.
Afterwards, the two of them pretended to be in love again, and Qibukadai looked reluctant to leave, with a few tears of joy hanging on his face, and then left the field hospital.
Afterwards, they learned that Zhu Nise was safe and had only a broken leg. Zhu Dagui and other people from the same village felt relieved and said that they had survived the catastrophe and would be blessed later. While eating, Qibukadai came again.
He said that he had to go and report to a Hezhe man from the next village that he was safe. That man also knew Zhunise.
Zhu Dagui did not doubt his presence, smiled and waved his hand to let him go.
At midnight, Qibukadai, who was lying at the entrance of the tent pretending to be asleep, gently lifted the quilt and tiptoed out of the tent. At this time, the logistics camp was silent, and no one else moved except for the patrolling soldiers more than ten meters away.
Qibukadai pretended not to wake up, and walked ignorantly towards the foot of a big tree. As he was unbuttoning his belt, he heard someone above his head whispering: "Don't stay here!"
Qibukadai pretended to be startled, looked up, rubbed his eyes, and then got up and went to another tree. He looked up into the air, and through the wide gap between the treetops, he quickly found
Knowing the location of the Big Dipper, he calculated silently in his mind for a moment and determined that the midnight hour had passed and it was about to be the ugly hour.
If the ancients were in the wild at night, if they understood astronomy and stars, there would be no problem in determining the time. As a detective sent to Beihai Town by the Guanggan Department, Qibukadai would not be able to do this if he did not have this ability.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Qibukadai, who was pretending to urinate under the tree, took out a dagger painted black from his arms and was ready to take action!
Qibukadai had already pinpointed the location of the sentry when he was rubbing his eyes. When several patrolling soldiers came dozens of meters away from him, he turned around and raised his hand fiercely. The dagger was like a ghost in the night.
It flew out with a swish and hit the back of the sentry in the tree accurately.
The dead sentry tilted his body and fell from the tree, and the broken branches made a crash. At this time, the patrols in the distance heard the noise and were about to come over to check, when suddenly they heard something not far away.
Someone yelled: "Fire!"
Several soldiers turned around and looked again, only to see a bunch of fire rising into the sky at the field hospital, and the camp suddenly became noisy.
At the same time, hundreds of Qing troops armed with various types of weapons, each with their mouths covered with weapons, their faces painted black, and their bodies looking like they crawled out of the soil, quietly attacked from the south side of the logistics camp.
The Ouchi guards and archers who were leading the team did not yell when they arrived at the logistics camp. They raised their bows and shot directly at the people who emerged from the tents in the camp.
After the wave of arrows passed, the hundreds of Qing troops who followed rushed out of the forest with a roar. They took out the flying thunder made of gourds from the bags around their waists, lit them with matches, and swished.
He threw it into the camp.
It was only then that the Ouchi guard leading the team shouted: "Kill the thief!"
After that, he held a knife in one hand and a blunderbuss in the other, and rushed into the camp first.
