The long and dull sound of the trumpet did not stop. In the dark night, the military flag of the returning army appeared, followed closely by the neatly arranged cavalry of the Thirteenth Army. The general Harian Hu came, and nearly a thousand war horses roared.
The clatter of hooves awakened the earth, the cavalrymen's heavy breathing and eager expressions.
Under the banner of the army, Harian Hu reined in his mount and saw the scene of bloody battles on the hills, and also saw the military flags of Li Ziying standing still.
The brave and fearless returning soldiers braved the artillery fire and marched forward. The soldiers without mounts raised their machetes and fought towards the Loess Slope. Hand-to-hand warfare has always been a game for the brave. Looking at the densely packed soldiers charging up the Loess Slope, the Harlian Tiger
Be confident, bullets are bears, swords are heroes.
"Fourth brother, let me charge." Harianlong, the fifth old man next to him, urged his horse to come to the military flag, interrupting Harianhu's thoughts. He saw a young man full of desire for killing.
"Don't worry, take a look first. We have time, and your contribution is indispensable." Harian Hu has always had experience in this kind of offensive battle. The officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty did not have the protection of city walls and no artillery suppression. As long as they fought hand-to-hand, the returning soldiers
If one of them can clear four soldiers, he will definitely win tonight.
The returning soldiers all over the mountains and plains rushed to the loess slopes holding high red flags. The Qing officers and soldiers in front of them were so handsome and they were still underage. How could they be the opponents of the strong soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
"Kill kill kill kill!"
A mortar was revealed in front of him. The muzzle was pushed to the forward position. The thick muzzle was aimed at the returning troops who were pouring up the slope. It hissed with white smoke, roared, and a shot shell ejected from the barrel.
Spurting out, like a wave, rolling on the sea.
"Ahhhh!" There were pitiful cries in front of the position. The first batch of returning troops who climbed up the slope were covered in iron nails and iron sand, and they kept rolling on the ground.
With a rumble, another mortar emitted white smoke and made a shocking roar. One artillery piece after another was launched in front of the position, fired one shot and then disappeared in front of the formation.
The mortar itself is light. The heavy mortar weighs more than 200 kilograms, and the light mortar weighs less than 100 kilograms. Two gunners can push it. Because the mortar has a short range and a short barrel, it is difficult for the barrel to explode, so it is difficult to shoot
It is very fast and can load shotshells quickly. Some mortars with thick barrels can even be loaded at once.
Two or three shotgun shells, with huge lethality, no one can dodge. The front of the loess slope has turned into a terrifying artillery battle, with mortars appearing one after another, bombarding the dense returning troops. The gunners are fighting on their own, and there is no danger.
, there were gunners pushing mortars to the forward positions and firing at the returning troops.
Behind the gunner, the civilian man carrying the shells followed with a basket of shells. Regardless of the danger, the civilian man braved the hail of bullets to carry the shells to the front line.
Li Guolou just stood in the camp, quietly looking at the civilians running around him. This is the power of the people's war. People who risk their lives are all for a sacred country. The Chinese nation defends the country's territorial integrity with blood and bravery.
The territory does not allow division, and no one is allowed to seek independence. Those who rebel are reactionaries.
For the sake of independence, the Hui army dragged a nation into the abyss, made a country weak, and even committed a series of brutal massacres. If you want to be independent, you have to endure the wrath of thunder. Artillery is a response to those who think they are brave and fearless.
The best answer of the army is, tremble the earth, let the god of death reason with the rebels, kill all the rebels with swords and guns, and kill the nation that refuses to surrender until he surrenders.
"Fire incendiary bombs!" Xun Xi shouted, dancing with joy. Li Ziying's cannons roared loudly, and dozens of large and small fireballs roared in, rolling and jumping around, lighting up the soil slope. The returning army was always in panic.
, suddenly their figures were exposed to broad daylight, and their surroundings were illuminated by fireballs.
The artillery shells roared, and there were shrill howls everywhere. A dozen ten-pound artillery shells roared in. With the bright light of the fireball, the bullets on the slopes were shot like popcorn at the returning troops. Countless bullets came one after another. A group of returning troops
They were scurrying around like headless flies, with no place to hide. Those war horses became huge targets and were beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets.
The surviving returning troops lay on the ground, shooting towards the hillside, and launched a desperate counterattack. With so many dead bodies and dead horses available for cover, hand-to-hand combat was cruel and ruthless.
"Didi-di-di! Di-di-di!" The military bugle sounded on the slope, and the sound was like a reminder. Soldiers from Li Ziying threw countless grenades down the slope.
Roaring sounds came one after another, and huge grenades continued to explode, blowing the returning troops hiding behind the shelter into pieces.
Groups of flesh and blood exploded one after another, and arms flew around in the air.
A returning cavalryman looked at his empty right arm in disbelief. The pale broken bone was so dazzling. Looking at the flesh and blood remaining on it, he saw spurts of blood. Suddenly he let out a tragic cry.
Cry.
The lower body of a returning soldier was gone, and a large amount of disgusting intestines flowed out, dragging a long line behind him. I don’t know what force supported him crawling on the ground, but it was indescribable pain. Veins popped up on his forehead, and he
He stared, tried his best to move in one direction, and spoke loudly.
A returning soldier whose face was bruised by the explosion was still climbing up the slope with his sword high. He couldn't see anything clearly and waved his sword randomly. No Qing army shot at him, as if they were pitying him.
Bursts of laughter.
"Yang Dawazi, you are still smart. I shouldn't make my own decisions." Bai Chang Tiedan beat his horse and fled back. No one of the hundreds of charging cavalry came back alive. He led his guards and fled back, scared.
What kind of sharp weapon does Li Ziying have that can wipe out his entire team?
The offensive on the east side of the loess slope suddenly stopped, leaving only the north and west loess slopes, where the returning soldiers came one after another, the sound of long horns kept sounding, and the return cavalry, who were not afraid of death, rushed forward and piled corpses
of loess slope.
There were pools of blood on the slopes, and headless corpses were lying on the ground. In a short period of time, Li Ziying's artillery made Harianjin go from full of confidence to dull eyes and no confidence at all.
The Hui Army used more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in the first wave of offensive. Before any hand-to-hand combat began, they fell to death on the slope. The dirt slope that could be leveled by horses turned out to be the death ground for the Hui Army.
"How can Li Ziying's grenades be thrown so far?" Harianjin really couldn't understand. The returning cavalry carried huge grenades, but they had not yet detonated in the enemy's position. The enemy's small grenades had already been thrown into the enemy's position.
In the army's cavalry.
Looking ahead, there is a scene of wolves galloping and swarming, dense artillery shells whizzing past, war horses whining and barking, Li Ziying artillery battalion's continuous fire caused heavy panic and casualties, and the cannons are still roaring to this day, causing a
The cavalry suffered casualties one after another.
Suddenly a huge fireball landed not far from Harianjin, instantly illuminating the big flag with the word "Ha".
"General, hurry up, the enemy is about to open fire." The captain of the guards suddenly woke up and whipped Harianjin's horse on the buttocks.
Li Ziying's artillery relied on the bright light of incendiary bombs to search for enemies hiding in the darkness. The large flag with the character "Ha" was the best target. The artillery observer who saw the flag clearly adjusted the muzzle of the gun without hesitation and shouted, "
emission!"
boom!
boom!
boom!
More than a dozen grenade guns roared and fired at the vicinity of the banner with the character "Ha". The shells flew across the returning army camp and exploded randomly. This time, it was all over the place.
The tall and mighty flag supporter of the Hui Army, even before his death, still held on to the flag with the character "Ha", preventing it from falling down. However, the flag with the character "Ha" was burned by the sparks of explosives, and the silk flag with the character "Ha" was in the air.
Burning, heralding the first wave of attacks by the returning army, was beaten to a pulp by Li Ziying.
The roar of Huangtupo's artillery was deafening, and a sharp whistle sounded. In the air, another volley of artillery fire was fired. With the roaring roar, the area around the large banner with the word "Ha" turned into a dead land.
boom!
The fifth brother, Harianlong, was hit by shrapnel from a cannonball while he was fleeing. He died not while charging into battle, but while fleeing shamefully.
There was a loud bang, and it turned out to be a forty-kilogram cannonball, which hit right next to Harianlong. In an instant, Harianlong's body was completely gone and turned into minced meat.
boom!
Li Ziying's artillery shells were still exploding over the heads of the fleeing returning troops, as if they knew they were escaping.
Li Guolou watched in surprise as the returning army was being cut down by grass. Before a brutal hand-to-hand battle began, the returning cavalry was beaten back into the night.
"Charge to the north! Bugler, charge to the north! Battelle will lead Li Ziying's cavalry and charge for me." Li Guolou burst out with great pride and exposed all his bosses, killing his mother without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
"Tick-tick-tick-tick! Tick-tick-tick-tick!"
A row of bugles sounded together, and on the loess slope, Li Ziying's three hundred cavalrymen swooped down from the slope, "Kill, kill, kill, kill!"
With the cavalry wielding their thrust lances, Battle did not hesitate to kill the returning cavalry in the north. Three hundred cavalry rushed out to kill the enemy.
To the north of Tupo are the 500 elite soldiers of Zou Baohe's 16th Battalion and the 800 elite soldiers led by Erhezhou himself. However, at this time, their more than 1,000 cavalry have been disabled, and the 500 elite soldiers of the 16th Battalion have been defeated.
General Ma Shouda was also killed in battle, and had long since ceased to be organized. As long as the returning cavalry had horses, they were fleeing desperately, and those who even lost their horses fled in all directions.
Erhe Prefecture was originally holding down the battle, but when he saw the fireballs burning everywhere, he was so frightened that even the commander gave up and took the lead in leaving the battlefield with the guard battalion, running at least 10,000 meters away. Li Ziying had various methods.
Being able to bring half of the troops back is considered a blessing. I have no confidence at all.
He was furious, how could the cavalry fight with the artillery? Li Ziying was an artillery battalion with hundreds of artillery pieces. A single salvo would kill hundreds of soldiers. And the rear team he was supporting had suffered heavy casualties. Yang in the east
Dawazi and Harianhu in the north are now in a worse situation than him.
The rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind. Erhezhou froze and turned to look at the dim Huangtugang. Li Ziying actually sent out cavalry to chase down the returning troops behind him.
"General Erhe, do we want to have a fight with the enemy?" A hundred commanders next to him asked reluctantly.
Erhezhou hesitated for a while and then made up his mind and said: "Forget it, it can't change the outcome of defeat. If the enemy drags the artillery down Huangtugang, we won't be able to go back. Let's blow the trumpet and go home without fighting Li Ziying."
Already."
Erhe Prefecture knew very well that horse fighting could not be fought at night, and a staggered cavalry team would disappear without a trace. It was still safe to return to Dong Zhiyuan. Li Ziying's cavalry was only cleaning the battlefield around Huangtugang and would not pursue them.
Erhe Prefecture was still very confident in leading the remaining defeated troops back to Dong Zhiyuan. The Qing officers and soldiers were not as familiar with the geography as they were, and they did not dare to pursue the returning troops at night. They said with certainty: "Herald, please contact General Ha immediately and tell our troops to withdraw first."
Let him move closer to our army."
Before the herald had gone far, a large group of returning cavalry swarmed over and said urgently: "General Erhe, something bad has happened. Halianlong was killed in battle. General Halianhu was attacked by Yang Dawazi and his head was also cut off."
.Yang Dawazi has surrendered to the enemy, and we cannot catch up with those traitors."
A group of big men cried bitterly, and the whole army was shocked. The general had his head cut off by his own people, and the morale fell to the bottom. Erhezhou was dumbfounded in surprise, and helplessly shouted angrily: "The Han people are not good people, they should all be killed.
!”
"General Erhe must be careful. General Anjie was seriously injured and restrained. Commander Lan Mingtai, the 14th commander, understands the righteousness well. Don't disturb the morale of the army when he returns. Yang Dawazi was originally an officer and soldier of the Qing Dynasty. We must distinguish them." Deputy General Xiao Jin whispered.
Dao, every move at this time is related to the morale of the military, and people with ulterior motives cannot be allowed to plot evil.
Erhezhou's mind was moved, and he had a strange thought. Others could surrender, why couldn't he? It seems that he should go back and listen to the fourth commander Cui Wei's mouth, and prepare for a rainy day. Maybe he would cooperate with Yang Dawazi in the future. He heard the people next to him
He scolded Yang Dawazi for his shameless behavior, but he remained silent and sighed: "The timing is not right. I will definitely avenge this. Now I order the entire army to retreat. Lieutenant General Xiao, you will lead the Chinese army to suppress the formation, and I will take the rear..."
····”
There are still more than 3,000 remaining returning cavalry, but they have long lost their courage. An army lost 30%, which is considered a defeat. They lost more than 40%, which can be said to be defeated. Three people reported the news to Li Ziying.
The spy had his throat cut by returning soldiers and was thrown on the desert loess.
A group of noisy vultures stood on the corpse early to welcome the arrival of dawn.
Coyotes also come following the traces, driving away the shameless vultures, "croaking, croaking, croaking!" Animals in the vast wilderness are also fighting for survival.
