Chapter 551: Kill someone who doesnt deserve to stand out
Baoning, the left deputy general of Dingbian, was born in Tibet and was from the Zhengbai Banner of Mongolia. He was fifty-seven years old. This man had been in the war for a long time. Although he had the title of third-class dukedom from his ancestors, he still relied on his military exploits. From a guard of Qianqing Gate, he successively served as general of Chengdu, admiral of Jiangnan and general of Ili.
His previous visit to Beijing was because his term had expired, and Qianlong originally planned to let him replace Sun Shiyi as acting governor of Sichuan. However, news came from Tsarist Russia that the Northern Navy was going to attack Outer Mongolia, so Qianlong pulled the generals in the northwest and let him He has come to Uliasutai.
When Baoning, who was holding a military meeting with his generals, learned that the Northern Navy suddenly appeared in front of him, he was immediately surprised. He immediately walked up to the knight kneeling in the tent and asked sternly: "They How many people are there? How many cannons are there?”
"The thieves suddenly opened fire on our army. There were probably dozens of muskets, and the cannon only fired once. So, so..."
Don't ask, the answer is just three words, I don't know.
The anger on Baoning's face flashed away, and he asked sadly: "Where is Ye Chu?"
The Ye Chu he mentioned was the Zhengbai Banner Mongolian Co-Leader who led the forward troops. The Xiaoqi School who was kneeling on the ground did not even dare to raise his head. He gritted his teeth and replied: "The Co-Leader said that the enemy's situation is unknown. If he comes back like this, I felt sorry for those dead brothers. He asked his subordinates to come back and report that he had already taken everyone around to the upper reaches of the Tes River, preparing to find out the enemy's situation before returning to the commander-in-chief."
Baoning snorted. If Ye Chu dared to come back with such a gray-headed rat face, Baoning would have to kill him. He said to the knight cavalry school: "Underestimating the enemy and rushing in, dozens of elites were killed. Although Ye Chu is the chief general, But you should also be responsible for praising the paintings and admonishing them! Go down and get fifty military sticks!"
"Hey! I'm humbled and thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for not killing me!"
After the Knight Riding School was taken away, Zasak Tuhan and King Bunilatna of Doro County, who was sitting on the right side of the commander's seat, stood up and said: "Commander, it sounds like there are not many people in the Northern Pirates. Otherwise, Send some more people to investigate?"
This man had just attacked the prince at the beginning of the year and took over the Zasak Tukhan tribe. He was very eager to serve. He thought that if he could make a great contribution in this battle, he would be like Chebu Denzabu back then and achieve the rank of prince.
Baoning took two steps back and forth with his hands behind his back, silent in thought. He walked to the wooden map and carefully looked at the mountains and rivers above, trying to figure out where this North Korean navy came from.
Kyaktu? That’s more than 2,200 miles away! Baoning firmly believes that if the Northern Navy really drives straight in from the Kyakta West Road Station, even if the Karen soldiers can’t stop it, someone will have to send a beacon message, right? Even if the Northern Navy The navy arrested all the soldiers in Karen Station, and none of them were let go. But the herdsmen grazing along the way could always see them, right?
Since Kyakhta is impossible, the only possibility left is that these people should have come by boat from the lower reaches of the Wakmu River. The Northern Navy repelled the Tsarist Russian army last year and captured the Tsarist Russian army in Yenisey in one fell swoop. Boryeong had heard about several towns on the river a few months ago. Considering that the Chahan Toro Sea Station is also part of the line leading to Tang Nu Uryang Sea Platform, the answer seems to have come to light, but the problem is that Tang Nu U No one from Liang Hai came to report the news!
"Could it be said that Tangnu Wulianghai has been lost?!"
A layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on Baoning's forehead, and his hands behind his back were trembling slightly.
At this time, Ailonga, the counselor who was accompanying the army, hurriedly approached Mutu and asked in a low voice: "Commander, do you want to take a rest first?"
Baoning shook his head slightly when he heard this, and then pointed at the wooden map and told his guess. Everyone in the tent frowned when he heard this. Ailonga's eyes scanned the wooden map repeatedly for a while, and then he said:
"Commander, I'm guessing from my humble position that the Northern pirates in front of us won't have many troops. If they can survive, they will only have 2,000 people."
"Oh?" Everyone in the tent turned their doubtful eyes to Ailonga, waiting to hear his opinion. As for Baoning, although he has never fought against the North Navy in these years, the report from the Military Aircraft Department
But he read them all, and before leaving, he even chatted with Qinggui for half the night. After listening to Ailonga's words, he immediately realized that what the other party said made sense, and then used his eyes to signal the other party to continue talking.
"Looking at my humble position, if the North Sea Pirates invaded the Wakmu River with thousands of troops, even though Karen, the station along the way, would be outnumbered, they would still send out a warning signal and light up the smoke. Even if all the Karen soldiers died in the battle,
, but the surrounding herdsmen will also fly into panic. However, since our army set off, there has been no warning signal on either the east or west route. This shows that the bandit soldiers must be attacking in small groups and lightly armed, and their strength will definitely not be too large.
many."
When Tuxie Tuhan Cheden Dorji's eldest son, First Class Taiji Eduob Dorji heard this, he said, "What if there are a large number of people following behind them?"
Ai Longa shook his head firmly and said: "No! If there are a large number of people and horses attacking the border, Tangnu Ulianghai's banners will definitely send people to call for help. No matter how fast the thieves are, they will not be able to compete with four-legged horses."
When the generals in the tent heard this, they thought, yes, that's the truth. You must know that the stagecoach horses at the station are all top-notch horses. They are one of the best in terms of endurance and speed. The imperial court's six-hundred-mile express is even very fast.
The rarely used express express of eight hundred miles is achieved by relying on these stagecoaches.
Baoning felt a lot more relaxed, and there was a hint of a smile on his lips. In this case, don't blame me for being rude, just use this Northern Navy to boost the morale of the entire army!
The second-class station of Saiyinnoyan Division, Jipunchukdash, was determined to win the glory. Seeing this scene, he first handed over to Baoning and asked for orders: "Commander, I am willing to lead a thousand people to take back the Chahan Toro Sea Station."
!”
Bunila Tenapi, the king of Doro County, said with a smile: "Hey~~ It's a small inn, why does Punchukda Shitaiji personally go out and send a left wing commander?"
Eyiduobu Dorji of the Tuxie Tuhan tribe looked coldly at these guys who were trying to grab credit, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He made up his mind that he would never stand out. Others don't know what the Bei Navy is like.
He had seen it with his own eyes. Before setting off, his Ama Cheden Dorji had told him that safety came first in this battle and preserving strength was the most important thing.

In a big war, it’s hard to say who will win. If we fight to the death with the Bei Navy, we will be able to give others an advantage.”
The problem is that when the old fox Chedendorzi said this, he never imagined that half of his troops left in Kulun had been almost wiped out by the Northern Navy.
At the same time, on the hills to the southeast and northeast of Chahantoro Sea Station, more than 600 soldiers from the Northern Navy were digging trenches and building fortifications desperately. There were too many rocks in the soil on the local mountains.
The blasting method was used and there was a fear of landslides, so the soldiers consumed a lot of energy. They set out at dawn with light equipment and marched for more than a hundred miles. The only tool at hand was an engineering shovel.
The captured wounded soldiers of the Qing army were immediately interrogated after simple treatment. When Mislang confirmed the size of the Qing army's troops, he immediately reported the situation to Hu Ji in the rear. He placed the four companies of the first battalion respectively.
On the two hills in the north and south one kilometer apart, another platoon was sent across the river to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of Zhurkuzhu.
After dark, the reconnaissance platoon exchanged fire with the Qing army's sentry cavalry on the grassland twenty miles northwest of Zhurkuzhu. The Qing army in the rear was immediately alerted. Regardless of the poor visibility at night, they immediately dispatched thousands of soldiers
The torch-bearing Mongolian cavalry searched for traces of the Northern Navy. The thirty men in the reconnaissance platoon could no longer walk after sneaking five miles south. They encountered more and more Mongolian cavalry, and the risk of exposure became higher and higher.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the platoon leader immediately led his men to retreat and returned to Chahantoro Sea in the early morning.
Mishilang, who hadn't slept much all night, was woken up by the orderly just after half an hour of sleep. He told the orderly that he would be called as soon as the reconnaissance platoon came back.
"How's it going? What's the situation?" After meeting the reconnaissance platoon leader, Mislang asked the question he was most concerned about.
"There are too many enemies! We first went up to the mountain ridge and used night vision binoculars to observe from a distance. There were camps everywhere on the grassland, and we couldn't see the end at a glance. I estimated that there must be more than 15,000 people. Later.
When we came down from the mountain and were almost twenty miles away from the enemy's camp, we encountered the camp of the enemy's sentinel cavalry. Basically every two hundred meters there was a tent set up by a team of cavalry, with about twenty people in total.
Up and down, the bonfire stays on all night long.”
The platoon leader swallowed his spit and continued with lingering fear: "Those Mongolians' ears are so bad that we had no choice but to shoot and kill two cavalrymen. In the end, one guy shot a loud arrow to call the police. Good guy, the enemy actually
More than a thousand people were dispatched. Twenty miles to the west and south of the Tesi River is a large grassland. There are no mountains, and there are only a few earth bags. Close reconnaissance can easily be discovered by the enemy."
After hearing this, Mi Shilang nodded and asked the platoon leader to go back and seize the time to rest. He was no longer sleepy at this moment, so he asked the orderly to make a large cup of strong tea, and then he immersed himself in reading the map again.
On the morning of August 5, Boryeong dispatched 500 Zhengbaek Banner Mongolian soldiers and 1,000 archers led by Vice-Capital Fude, intending to test the firepower of the North Navy and learn the specific number of the North Navy. If possible,
Then he attacked the other side of the Tes River and captured the inn.
The Qing army camped in the woods three miles away from the east bank of the Tesi River. After a short rest, Fu De ordered his men to attack. He asked two hundred Eight Banner Mongolians to go in front, followed by a thousand Mongolian archers. Fu De led
Three hundred Mongolian soldiers with the Zhengbai Banner walked at the end.
At this time, the trench system of the Northern Navy had not yet been completed, and there were hundreds of foxholes distributed in series on the hills. In order to attract the Qing army to cross the river, Michelang specially placed a squad near the post station. He told the
Squad leader, once the Qing forward begins to cross the river, fire a few shots and then retreat.
The rumble of horse hooves came from far and near, and the flags of the Qing army's teams soon appeared in the field of vision. With the sound of the horn, the figures of dozens of Zhengbai Banner Mongolian cavalry became increasingly clear.
"Don't shoot! Listen to my orders!"
Although there is only one squadron of the Northern Navy at the inn, these people had followed Zhao Xin in the Battle of Usolye and chased the Tsarist Russian army for more than a thousand miles, so they had rich experience in battle.
The Eight Banners Mongolian soldiers who were at the front were spread out widely. Everyone knew that there were cannons on the other side, and they were still firing shells. After they tentatively approached the river bank, they found that there was no movement on the other side, so they immediately raised their blunderbuss on their horses and fired at the people on the other side.
A dozen shots were fired in the reeds, and then the men rode back more than a hundred steps and began to reload.
After two rounds of shooting, there was still silence on the other side. Deputy Governor Fu De was relieved. He immediately ordered a thousand archers to rush across the Tesi River in small groups. When the Mongolian archers wearing uniforms and holding shields
When they reached the river bank, the Northern Navy troops who were ambushing on both sides of the inn opened fire.
The Mongolian archers on the shore were caught off guard, and seven or eight were killed on the spot. The scene suddenly became a bit chaotic. The Mongolian soldiers who had already walked to the river and were preparing to cross the river took off their bows and arrows and shot them across the river.
Deputy Commander Fu De heard the sporadic gunshots that were obviously different from those of blunderbuss. He didn't take it seriously at all and said to his subordinates: "Tell them not to be afraid. There are not many pirates in the North Sea. As long as they rush to the other side, the thieves will be gone."
It’s over.”
The horn sounded again, urging the Mongolians on the river bank to cross the river. At this time, Fude mobilized 30 horse-mounted cannon soldiers, divided them into three teams, and took turns firing at the opposite bank. White smoke suddenly billowed from the river bank.
"Commander, the Qing army only has so much ability, so it's not up to us to fight."
After listening to the guard's words, Mi Shilang showed a smile on his face and said: "Don't underestimate how many people there are, the big ones are at the back!"
The guard said unconvinced: "No matter how much you come, it's useless. We have beaten tens of thousands of Rakshasa soldiers armed with muskets. Are we still afraid of the Qing army armed with bows and arrows?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Near the inn, the squad leader who led the team ordered his men to fire another round of volleys on the other side, and then said: "Withdraw!"
When the Qing army on the other side of the river saw a dozen Northern Navy soldiers wearing dark green clothes suddenly stood up from the grass, turned around and ran towards the hill more than a mile away, they suddenly burst into cheers.
"Hurry across the river! Kill them! The commander-in-chief has ordered, and each head will be rewarded with three taels of silver!"
As soon as these words were shouted out, the Mongolian archers on the shore all led their horses into the water like crazy, wading through the waist-deep river as hard as they could. Three taels of silver was not a small amount for the Mongolian archers, and they could get it this winter.
You won’t have to worry about food.
With people shouting and horses neighing, as the more than 200 archers in front crossed the river safely, most of the Mongolian archers and Eight Banners soldiers rushed to the river bank, especially when Mishi Lang saw through the telescope that one side was more than ten feet high.
, when the square white flag embroidered with gold and gold and flowing clouds and dragons also appeared on the river bank, he knew that it was the deputy capital flag of the Qing army, and immediately ordered the three mortars on the southern hill to use that big flag.
Fire for the center.
More than 20 seconds later, flaming explosion smoke rose up on the river bank, and countless stumps and short bodies were thrown into the air by the shock wave. Then three mortars fired five consecutive shells.
, both the Qing army and the Mongolian soldiers on the river bank were shrouded in thick gunpowder smoke, and even the big flag disappeared. After a while, countless stumps, weapons and pieces of clothing mixed with blood and water appeared from the air.
It fell and fell into the Tes River with a clatter.
The Mongolian soldiers who had already crossed the river were all frightened. They all looked pale, and they knelt on the ground and kept chanting about Buddha and Bodhisattva. In their eyes, this was not a war, it was simply the appearance of a demon from hell!
At this time, behind a hill three miles away from the north of the inn, Ye Chu, the Qing army leader with 300 men, heard a roar like rolling thunder in the distance. His expression changed drastically, and he retreated back to the mountain col with urine flowing from his buttocks.
inside.
At this time, a veteran in the North Navy fortification bunker was chewing a straw stick in his mouth and muttering in a low voice: "If you don't fire the artillery sooner or later, damn it! You can't eat the fish in the river now!"
