Muravyov was commanding from the rear, but he was always paying attention to the development of the battle situation.
Thousands of soldiers were killed and injured in this battle. It is impossible not to feel distressed. These soldiers were all brought out by Muraviev himself and were direct soldiers under his command. However, for the victory, all sacrifices were made. It is worth it, especially once Li Zhen is killed, the pillars of the Qing Dynasty will collapse immediately, and it will be easier to sweep the Qing Dynasty.
Killing Li Zhen was Muravyov's most important thing. For this reason, Muravyov made a heavy bet and was willing to spend huge forces to attack Li Zhen.
He held a telescope and looked at the situation on the battlefield.
The situation was still in a stalemate. His eyes gradually shifted and he looked at the situation on the other side through the official road. When Muravyov saw the situation on the other side of the mountain, excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes, because Tchaifkov Finally, he led his soldiers to kill them, and finally waited for this army to appear.
Muravyov looked excited and shouted: "Konisky."
"Here we are." Koniski ran in and said immediately.
Muravyov said excitedly: "After the order is passed, Tchaifkov has led the troops to attack Li Zhen's rear and won the victory. Let all the soldiers cheer up and launch the final charge. The final victory will definitely belong to us." ."
Konisky received the order and immediately went to convey Muravyov's instructions.
The news quickly spread throughout the battlefield like a hurricane.
The attacking Russian soldiers had been fighting all morning and had not even eaten lunch. They were already extremely exhausted. However, when they suddenly heard the news that Tchaifkov had unexpectedly attacked Li Zhen's army, they suddenly became energetic and extremely excited. Each soldier held a gun and He screamed and rushed forward, not afraid of death, all using his last strength.
This sudden change startled the soldiers stationed on the mountain and felt tremendous pressure.
“Du, du, du,,.”
A charge bugle sounded at the foot of the mountain, and the Russian soldiers charged like wolves and tigers one after another.
The situation on the battlefield immediately changed.
Lu Shaochuan and Long Ao led their soldiers to block the attack and tried their best to attack, facing huge pressure. At this moment, Li Zhen was also facing huge pressure.
Li Zhen looked at the retreating soldiers with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Li Zhen's mind suddenly became clear, and he had figured out Muravyov's intention. Muravyov mobilized a large army to kill, and even sent out all the soldiers to attack without caring about the lives of the soldiers. Everything was... For this moment, for Tchaifkov's surprise attack to succeed.
Yang Luchan frowned, his gray beard fluttering in the wind, and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
The opponent was aggressive and blocked his retreat, and he was also worried.
Li Zhenxiao said: "It doesn't matter, this is just a temporary predicament."
When Yang Luchan heard this, he looked puzzled.
Li Zhen did not explain, but decisively ordered: "Withdraw, let's retreat into the mountain and organize soldiers to defend." Yang Luchan immediately conveyed the order without asking too much. In less than three minutes, Li Zhen's soldiers came out in an orderly manner. He quickly retreated, while retreating, he also blocked Tchaifkov's attack.
After Li Zhen led his soldiers back to the mountain, he quickly met up with Long Ao, Lu Shaochuan and others. At this moment, the rear was already under fierce attack by Tchaifkov.
A small mountain faced an attack by more than 10,000 people.
Looking around, densely packed heads were shaking, and countless Russian soldiers were attacking. The scene was so spectacular that it was staggering. Li Zhen organized the soldiers under his command to resist, while he carried a sniper rifle and kept shooting, every time. As soon as the gun was fired, a Russian general was killed. However, the entire mountain was under siege by Russian soldiers, and it was difficult for the blocking soldiers to stop him.
Two hours later, the first line of defense on the hillside was lost and the frontmost trench was lost.
The Russian army broke through the defense line and pressed forward step by step.
The situation is becoming more and more critical.
Li Zhen's army gathered on the mountain, and Muravyov's army also gathered here. The two armies fought the most brutal battle. Judging from the current situation, Li Zhen's army was at the end of its rope and could not be found. retreat.
Lu Shaochuan stood in front of Li Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, we are blocking the Russian old man. You lead the troops and withdraw first."
Lu Shaochuan also felt that the situation was worrying and suggested that Li Zhen leave early.
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "I won't leave, I'm with everyone."
Yang Luchan said: "Your Majesty, our battle was indeed designed by the other side and we are at a disadvantage. After I break up with Lu Shaochuan, Long Ao and others, you can withdraw first. There are countless militiamen and countless people supporting Vladivostok. Return to Vladivostok can also resist."
Li Zhen's eyes widened and he said loudly: "Who says we are going to lose? We are going to win this battle. Peng Yulin led his troops to wipe out the Russian soldiers on the other side and is about to return. Once our reinforcements arrive, the Russian army will be defeated. "
Gunshots continued to ring out, and soldiers shouted to kill one after another.
Under such circumstances, Li Zhen's voice seemed insignificant, but his words shocked everyone present. After everyone heard it, they felt excited and full of expectations in their hearts. They didn't expect that Li Zhen had such a talent. As a back-up move, in fact, Li Zhen got the news not long ago. In order to prevent the news from spreading wildly, he did not publicize it.
Now that the situation was worrying, Li Zhencai took the initiative to speak out. This was also Li Zhen's reliance. Li Zhen thought about it and ordered: "Let the brothers hold on for another two hours. After two hours, we will launch a counterattack."
"okay."
Lu Shaochuan was extremely excited and yelled: "Brothers, the prince said, hold on for two more hours. In two hours, our reinforcements will arrive, and then launch a counterattack. We will fight hard, kill, and ruthlessly Kill him."
When the news came out, all the soldiers cheered up.
An hour later, the second line of defense on the hilltop was breached. At this time, the battle had entered a fierce stage. Soldiers from both sides had begun to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The grenades and machine guns used by Li Zhen's soldiers were no longer able to reach long-range targets. The powerful power of shooting is because it involves a struggle between the strength of the soldiers on both sides.
Compared with the Russian soldiers, the soldiers under Li Zhen were obviously worse.
Most of these soldiers were not real soldiers. They were soldiers selected from the militia when Li Zhen established the militia. Although there were many soldiers, they immediately showed great flaws when encountering real hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, the Russian soldiers were so tall and powerful that they almost overwhelmed the soldiers under Li Zhen's command.
The situation has become very worrying.
But now, there is still half an hour before Peng Yulin leads his army back.
The remaining half hour becomes extremely critical.
