Chapter 239: Zimu Lei

The smoke cleared and no one was gone, and the Ottoman army left a large pile of corpses and ran away.

The Mongolian cavalry division asked for battle to pursue, and Sun Dahai ordered the 1st Cavalry Division to pursue and the 2nd Cavalry Division to rest. After all, the Mongolian cavalry division also arrived here after a long and rapid march.

This time, the Ottoman army left behind not only corpses, but also a large number of wounded soldiers. After counting, 823 corpses were counted, and 3,607 wounded soldiers.

An hour later, the first cavalry division that was chasing out also returned, and they cut down a lot of heads along the way, but the army of Huaxia did not have the practice of rewarding meritorious deeds according to the heads, so they did not calculate how many heads they had cut off, in short, they killed all the way to Lian Kelan.

After interrogating the prisoners, Sun Dahai roughly knew that the Ottomans had a large amount of war supplies in Lenkolan, and there were 50,000 people guarding in Lenkolan, including 3,000 cavalry.

In this battle, Sun Dahai wiped out 5,000 of them, and it would be difficult to do so if they were to annihilate them all, unless they came out and rushed into battle. They have suffered a loss once, and they will not come out rashly.

"Let's settle down first." Division Commander Batu suggested.

Although Sun Dahai is a brigade commander, his military rank is higher than that of the two cavalry division commanders, both of whom are major generals, and he is already a lieutenant general.

"We set up camp on the spot, close to the sea, so that the Persian fleet could be easily connected." He commanded.

Commander Batu said: "Our cavalry moves fast, so give us the task of guarding the first cavalry!" ”

Sun Dahai agreed: "Okay, you three regiments, put them in our front and rear and left flank, especially to guard against the enemy who comes out from Liankolan. ”

Batu ordered the task and went to arrange it.

After Sun Dahai reported the situation here to Cao Wenzhao by telegram, the sky began to darken, and it was only when he felt hungry that he hurriedly ate something, and lay down on the bed that his own soldiers had made for him.

……

The camp of Cao Wenzhao in Samarkand.

After Cao Wenzhao learned about Sun Dahai's situation, he also thought that Lian Kelan was a logistics base for the Ottoman army, otherwise he would not put 50,000 people there, and he instructed Sun Dahai to hold on and wait for the next instructions.

The combined forces of China and Persia were pitting the Ottoman army in Savaran, and if they were able to disrupt their logistical supply lines, the enemy in Savaran would be defeated.

Cao Wenzhao concluded that Sun Dahai's actions would inevitably cause panic among the enemies in the Savaran Mountains, and they would most likely send troops to rescue Lian Kelan.

Help!

Cao Wenzhao put forward his plan at the military meeting, sending reinforcements.

Sending reinforcements can give full play to the effect of hot weapons, and if they can effectively set up ambushes, it is very likely that the reinforcements will be completely wiped out.

After the study of the military meeting, Cao Wenzhao decided to use the highly mobile Mongolian 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions as the main force to send reinforcements, and in order to be able to lure the snake out of the hole, he ordered Sun Dahai to feint to Lian Kelan and force the enemy to come to the rescue.

The enemy was fooled and sent a cavalry force of 30,000 men back to help.

……

On the southern outskirts of Lian Koran, the barracks of the Marine Corps.

Sun Dahai was reading Cao Wenzhao's telegram in the military tent, and in accordance with Cao Wenzhao's instructions, he personally led the whole brigade to carry out a feint attack on Lian Kelan, leaving the cavalry division on standby.

Lian Kelan's enemies were indeed frightened, and Sun Dahai called for five days in Lian Kelan, but they didn't dare to come out to fight.

When Sun Dahai received a report that the enemy's 30,000 reinforcements had been dispatched, he collected his troops and returned to the camp.

He was to command this ambush battle.

Ten days ago, he had already sent a scout horse to reconnoiter the terrain, and on the way to the enemy's reinforcements, there was a favorable ambush terrain, which was very similar to the terrain where Zhuge Liang burned Sima Yi in the gourd valley.

Now that we have entered the era of hot weapons, not to mention heavy rain, you are hail, as long as you enter this position, you can still be destroyed.

The Persian fleet was also very proactive, and it only took 12 days to go back and forth, transferring the transport team of the logistics department, bringing not only the ammunition that was in short supply, but also a batch of mines.

The child and mother thunder and the earthquake thunder are the same type of mines, but the connection method is different, the earthquake thunder is a parallel connection method, and the child and mother mine is a series connection method.

There are small bombs in the mother mine, and when the mother mine explodes, the child mine will fly out and explode again.

This kind of serial connection method of sub-mother mines can be connected in series with thousands of them, and when they are detonated, they will explode in a carpet chain and blow up the entire minefield.

Of course, the power of landmines is limited, and they cannot kill people, but only cause large-scale maiming to the enemy and make them lose their combat effectiveness, but it is not a problem to break the enemy's military morale and cause the enemy to lose a large number of troops.

Sun Dahai ordered a regiment of Hong Pengju to go to lay mines, and he led a regiment and artillery battalion to cooperate with the actions of the cavalry division, leaving a regiment to monitor the enemy in the direction of Lian Kelan.

Cloth mines do not need sappers, which Marine Brigade does not understand the technology of laying mines?

Hong Pengju took the lead in leading a group of 1,800 people into the "Gourd Valley", and after half a day's arrangement, 3,000 thunderbolts were buried.

At both ends of the "Hulukou" were the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Divisions, and Sun Dahai's troops were ambushed on the mountains in the "Hulu Valley" to monitor the enemy.

For some unknown reason, the enemy who came to the aid came a day late.

But it's here after all.

Batu sent a small number of cavalry, went all the way to fight and walk, and led the enemy into the "gourd valley".

When the thunder detonates, this visual impact makes people shudder.

When the first mine detonated, the carpet explosion began, looking down from a high place, like black mushrooms growing out of the ground, and growing and growing until the whole minefield was turned into a black ocean.

There are very few trees on the mountain, but there are stones, and the soldiers of the Marine Brigade who are ambushed on the mountain have rolled stones down the mountain, although they can't see the enemy clearly, they can hit a few count.

This black smoke was not only pungent but also very strong, and even the soldiers on the mountain were smoked to tears by the billowing black smoke.

The tragic situation under the mountain can be imagined.

I only heard the voices of crying fathers and mothers one after another, although I couldn't understand their language, but everyone could understand the screams.

The 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division were guarding both ends of the "Gourd Valley", because the smoke was too big, they did not dare to rush in, but only blocked the enemy's exit.

Rain? Even hail could not save their fate, and the 30,000 reinforcements were completely incapacitated, and the Ottoman commander raised the white flag and surrendered to the army of the Chinese State.

The smoke cleared, the scene was miserable, the battlefield was in shambles, the wounded soldiers were all over the ground, and the hands and feet were blown off countless times, and after cleaning the battlefield, the corpses were also piled up, they were not killed by thunder, but trampled to death.

When the news reached Lian Kelan, the enemy was shocked, and he had become a frightened bird, where did he dare to challenge the army of Huaxia? Shrinking in Lian Koran did not dare to come out.

Sun Dahai mobilized all the people who could fight into the siege battle, including the strength of the Persian fleet and the convoy, a total of more than 30,000 people, and blew open the city gate with explosive barrels, and the defenders obediently raised the white flag.

This battle completely shook the morale of the Ottoman army, and the enemy who confronted the coalition army in the Savaran Mountains fled thousands of miles overnight.
