"How do you think these Chinese troops are trained? They are even more powerful than our Eight Banners."
Outside the stone entrance, Azig and Bohetuo stood side by side, feeling deeply moved.
After crossing the Yellow River, Azige did not dare to delay for a moment. After conquering Daning, he hurriedly rushed out, hoping to break out of the Luliang Mountains as soon as possible and outflank the retreat of the National Defense Forces.
But no matter how fast he moved, he was still blocked by the National Defense Forces.
Is it really God's will that the Qing Dynasty should be short-lived?
Bohetuo's mood was similar to his, and he also felt a little powerless. But the matter had come to this, and there was no turning back.
"Your Majesty, the Chinese army on the opposite side seems to be small in number. Why don't we all work together, maybe we can rush over."
He thought that Azig's fighting spirit had dissipated, but he didn't know that Azig was just sighing.
Azig was confident about how to fight.
"The bullet bag should be further forward so that it can be easily drawn."
The recruits of the 13th Regiment had never seen the power of a cavalry charge, and everyone could not help but tremble.
"Don't be arrogant. Have you forgotten the methods of the Chinese Army?"
The offensive and defensive battle began.
"Raise the gun!"
In fact, in the previous battles, the National Defense Forces always took advantage of the Qing cavalry to suddenly launch artillery attacks, resulting in heavy losses to the Qing cavalry.
Seeing the overwhelming Qing troops on the opposite side, and having begun preparations for battle, the 13th Regiment felt a little panicked from top to bottom.
"The Chinese army on the opposite side has no artillery. We will make great achievements today."
The careful and precise warnings made the recruits of the 13th Regiment slowly let go of their nervousness.
Ye Chen took the lead, leading the cavalry to advance rapidly along the valley amidst the sound of powerful horns.
At this time, there is no other way but to boost morale and make these recruits forget their fear.
Fortunately, the road in the valley was narrow, so the Qing cavalry could only form an arrow formation.
Gu Zhiqi personally acted as the commander of the musket array.
He gave Ye Chen another order.
Now that it was known that the National Defense Forces on the opposite side had no artillery, the Qing army's fighting will increased rapidly.
"You lead all the cavalry directly to the center of the army. Don't think about retreating. We can't afford to delay."
Azig knew that the key to this battle was Shikou.
At that time, they would have to deal with tens of thousands of Qing troops in the vast plains.
Within the empire, it is called the National Defense Force.
Ye Chen ordered all the cavalry and arranged them in formation carefully.
"Your Majesty, there aren't enough people over there for me to chop melons and vegetables. Tell everyone to hurry up and follow us, or you won't be able to get the hot soup even if you drink it."
"The general is leaving now. If he dies in this battle, please ask the prince to take care of the family of the general."
If this place is lost, Azig's movements will no longer be restricted.
Since ancient times, the name of the army has mostly been given by the name of the country. For example, the army of the Han Dynasty is called the Han Army, the army of the Tang Dynasty is called the Tang Army, and the army of the Ming Dynasty is called the Qing Army...
Azig loved and hated Obai.
"Obai, you are the vanguard. Let these Han people have a good look at how powerful our Qing Dynasty Batulu is."
Therefore, the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty dubbed the National Defense Force the "Chinese Army".
Who is to say that this guy is a die-hard Shunzhi, but he is not respectful enough to the three brothers.
Therefore, only by using dangerous passes can we block Azig's advance.
The fatigue after the long-distance attack gradually began to dissipate. The soldiers followed the order and took out emergency food to replenish energy.
After all, no commander would be unhappy to have such a tough general under his command.
Oboi was extremely happy to get the chance to fight for the first time. He asked the guards to put on armor for him and laughed ferociously.
"Be sure to hold your breath when shooting, but don't hold your breath for too long. It doesn't matter if you're not accurate, just reload."
To the west of Shikou, there are two routes converging.
But now that he was on the verge of life and death, Azig was in no mood to get angry with Obai and just scolded him.
"The shield must be placed slightly tilted upward. The enemy's bows and arrows will be thrown towards it, so it will have no effect if placed vertically."
One road is from the direction of Daning where Azig's army is rushing towards, and the other road is narrower and can lead to the stone building.
Below him, the various officers of the 13th Regiment were meticulous in helping the soldiers make final arrangements.
If it were a plain area, the Qing cavalry would be fully spread out and charge like a tide, which would put greater pressure on the 13th Regiment.
However, during the assembly process this time, the National Defense Forces on the opposite side were very quiet and were only busy with their own business.
Gu Zhiqi walked back and forth on the battlefield, holding a loudspeaker in his hand, trying his best to make his voice heard by every soldier.
"Don't be afraid, it's no big deal. The Qing army is also human, and will die if it is hit by our bullets. Our weapons are better than the Qing army. As long as we hold on here, we will win."
Normally, I hate Oboi so much.
Ye Chen had to guard against this move.
This is also the reason why Gu Zhiqi marched desperately to seize Shikou.
The Wehrmacht's artillery is not only numerous in number, but it also hits far, and especially can explode. Even if it is far away from the impact point of the artillery, there will still be casualties.
Ao Bai led the Eight Banners infantry to stick to the foot of the mountains on both sides and keep crossing the ravine. At the same time, he used trees and rocks to hide his figure and approached the National Defense Forces step by step.
With the ability of the security division, let alone chasing and intercepting, I am afraid they will be defeated one by one.
During the war, I fell in love with him very much.
"As long as we pass through Shikou, the Chinese army will no longer be able to stop us. Tell the soldiers that there will be no advance or retreat in this battle."
Ah, no, call it Ming Army!
This place is quite interesting. If it is aptly described, it should be called a crossroads.
Ye Chen suddenly understood something and shouted excitedly.
This was an extraordinary moment, and all the Qing troops were inspired.
Only with his presence can the soldiers' emotions be stabilized and the musket array remain stable.
Behind Shikou, the road is also divided into two. No matter which way you take, you can rush into the Fen River Valley.
When they fight against the Wehrmacht, the thing they fear most is the artillery of the Wehrmacht.
Wanyan Yechen was a general of the Qing Dynasty and knew that the matter was of great importance.
During this process, he was always vigilant.
He handed over the battle on the slopes of both wings to Geng Jiaxiu, commander of the 13th regiment, and Wei Zixuan, regimental commander.
"Brothers, Qingshan is honored to bury loyal bones. Today we will use our own flesh and blood to fight for victory for the entire army. If we can use our sacrifices to exchange for the new life of thousands of people, what else can we be dissatisfied with?
?Thousands of years have passed, and the green mountains here will definitely remember our efforts. We will be with the green mountains... forever!"
Amidst the impassioned declaration, the soldiers of the 13th Regiment gradually became determined.
The muzzle of the gun, which was originally shaking slightly, slowly became stable.
