As soon as Ninevich gave the order, the cavalry behind began to deliver heavy weapons towards Tianshou Mountain.

Linevich looked at Tianshou Mountain and said: "Now that their fortifications have not been completed, we must not ask them to build the fortifications, otherwise they will defend against the danger, and we will be in big trouble." Artillery, attack now! ”

Although Linevich came in a hurry this time, he also brought a lot of heavy artillery, all of which were captured by the Qing army, which became a real enemy.

Dozens of cannons were all large-caliber Krupp heavy artillery, and began to bombard the Qing army's position in Tianshou Mountain, the Qing army's even simple fortifications were not completely built, under the fierce artillery fire of the Russian army, in less than 20 minutes, it fell short, the fortifications were blown up beyond recognition by shells, and the Qing troops could only use some boulders to avoid artillery fire.

The shelling lasted for an hour, and now the dense forests on Tianshou Mountain have been destroyed, and piles of flames have been ignited, and the mountains are filled with gunsmoke and are in a mess.

Dong Fuxiang hurriedly ordered the artillery to fight back, although the heavy artillery of the Gan army was lost, but the heavy artillery of the Wuwei army was still there, there was no loss, at this time, the artillery fire of the Qing army was not inferior to the Russian army at all, but the Wuwei army was called the weakest army in the Wuwei army, and it was not unreasonable, most of these people were new troops, although there were no vices of other armies, but they had no experience in fighting, in such a tragic battle, they looked cowardly, under the fierce attack of the Russian army, now they are in chaos, The shells that were already inaccurate are now even more outrageous.

In this way, the artillery battle lasted for three hours, and there were no decent trees and rocks on Tianshou Mountain, all of which were destroyed by the surging artillery fire.

The casualties of the Qing army continued to increase, and the Russian army on the opposite side also suffered a lot of casualties in the artillery fire, but the Russian army still attacked fiercely.

In the afternoon, the Russian army stopped shelling, moved two cavalry regiments, and launched a fierce attack on Tianshou Mountain, and groups of Cossack cavalry rushed towards the peak of Tianshou Mountain.

The position of the Qing army was set up on the mountainside, the terrain was relatively gentle, and it was more suitable for cavalry attack. It was the Russian cavalry that quickly rushed to a place not far from the Qing army's position.

Dong Fuxiang shouted: "Heavy machine gun, heavy machine gun!" Immediately go on the offensive and stop the Russian army from attacking! ”

Dozens of heavy machine guns began to threaten at the front of the position, forming tongues of fire and suppressing the Russian army.

Seeing such a formation, Linevich in the back was anxious, and he didn't know what to do to break the fire blockade of the Qing army.

On the side, Tymoshenko said: "Commander, we can't fight like this, our cavalry losses are too serious." ”

Ninevich asked: "What then?" We don't have much time to ink with them here! ”

Tymoshenko replied: "Two ways, first, let's leave a force behind and drag the Qing army here, and at the same time protect the security of our rear; The main army immediately went south and went straight to the city of Beijing! Second, let's call a group of cavalry to dismount, bypass Tianshou Mountain and climb up from the back mountain, and attack the Qing army from top to bottom, so that they can't take care of each other, and they will definitely be able to break their position! ”

Linevich clapped his hands and said, "Okay, just do as you say." Order one of your cavalry regiments to make a detour behind Tianshou Mountain, then climb up the rock to attack the rear positions of the Qing army! This time we must defeat them! ”

The Tianshou Mountain side is still fighting, the shells on both sides continue to shoot out, in the other party's position exploded a cloud of smoke, the visibility here, almost less than fifty meters away, the wounded on both sides, continue to increase, the rear position, covered with seriously wounded and dead bodies.

Dong Fuxiang had long anticipated the possibility of a detour attack on Linevich, and asked Tieliang to order a battalion of infantry to guard the mountain peak and guard his own back road.

But is the idea good enough to be realized?

The men and horses of this battalion finally got rid of the test of artillery fire on the position, away from the fire, and couldn't wait to fly back to Beijing City immediately, and slept hard for a few days, and when they came to the top of the mountain, without the restraint of Dong Fuxiang and Tie Liang, where could they take care of anything else, they didn't even build fortifications, they fell directly to the ground to rest, and even a large number of people lay straight on the ground and fell asleep.

How can such an army be able to defend against the wolf-like Russian army.

A cavalry regiment, more than 1,000 people, all hardcover and simple, quietly signed halfway up the mountain, saw that there was no movement on the mountain, began to speed up the march, not long, it was already close to the top of the mountain, and there was only a distance of more than 100 meters from the top of the mountain, now the time has entered the evening, there were originally some Qing troops on duty, now there is no war they directly put up the patrol, rest on the spot, a team of more than 20 people left to patrol, and now it has taken advantage of no one to pay attention, into a state of sleep.

The leader of the Russian army, who was the commander of the 6th Brigade, Tovetovsky, saw that there was no movement on the mountain, and shouted in a low voice: "Rush, rush to the top of the mountain as fast as possible!" ”

This time, the Russian army removed all its camouflage, and at a distance of 100 meters, it had already rushed to the top of the mountain in just a few tens of seconds. The Qing army was finally awakened by the huge movement, and when they saw the mountains full of Russian troops, they were frightened and at a loss for what to do.

The Russian army didn't give them time to reflect, and a shock had already entered the position of the Qing army, and the sabre in his hand was cut high, and in a minute or two, more than 200 people had already died in the hands of the Russian army.

The officer in charge of the belt fully reacted at this time, and shouted: "Shoot a warning, someone is attacking!" ”

But at this time, everything is too late, a battalion of men and horses, now there are not even a hundred people who have been cut down, close combat, how can they be the opponents of the Russian army, a battalion of men and horses, not even ten minutes can be pushed down, all of them were hacked to death on the mountain peaks.

Tovitowsky was overjoyed and shouted: "Brothers, give me all the charge, the target, the position of the Qing army on the mountainside!" ”

There were more than 1,000 Russian troops here, each with a saber and a rifle, and began to rush towards the position of the Qing army from top to bottom.

Dong Fuxiang heard the news that the mountain peak had been occupied by the Russian army, and his heart suddenly lit up, knowing that the Qing army had no hope, the Russian army was condescending, attacking, he had completely lost his geographical advantage, and he had fallen into a situation of attacking from the north to the south, and he had been passive to the extreme! Dong Fuxiang roared: "Lord Tie, where did you die in the battalion you guarded on the peak of the mountain, we didn't get any news, so we let them occupy the commanding heights, you, you ......" Dong Fuxiang was already so angry that he couldn't speak. (Dissertation College)
