Chapter 409: Retreat to Tianshou Mountain

The Wuwei Central Army retreated completely, leaving the Gan army and part of its cavalry behind. --

Tymoshenko also found signs of the retreat of the Wuwei Chinese army, but nearly 5,000 Qing cavalry were lying in front of them, and they also sighed in vain, 5,000 people, that is not something that can be defeated in a moment and a half, not to mention the most 'elite' Gan army's 'fine' cavalry, and he only has six or seven thousand people here, although he has a certain advantage in troops, but such an advantage is not safe.

Anyway, the follow-up reinforcements are coming soon, so it's better to board for a few minutes.

Dong Fuxiang saw that Tymoshenko's army was not in a hurry to attack, and knew that the other party was not too sure to leave him. Dong Fuxiang smiled coldly and ordered: "Order, all the horses, slowly retreat, always beware of the attack of Tsarist Russia!" ”

At the sound of an order, the cavalry began to slowly retreat.

Tymoshenko saw that the cavalry of the Qing army also began to retreat, and she was anxious, it seemed that she couldn't wait, once she was run out of a distance by the Qing army, if she was pursuing, the situation would not be easy to say, who knows where these centaurs would retreat?

Tymoshenko shouted: "No, don't wait for reinforcements, give the order, the whole army will attack, even if you can't annihilate the Qing cavalry in front of you, you have to entangle them to the death, waiting for the reinforcements to come and annihilate them all in one fell swoop!" ”

The Cossack cavalry roared and thought that the Qing army rushed over, and Dong Fuxiang at this time had just withdrawn from the city less than two miles behind, and when he saw the Russian army starting to pursue, he shouted: "The whole army should respond to the enemy and make every effort to block the Russian attack!" ”

The two torrents of steel collided fiercely together, and began a tragic fight, although the Russian army had a slight advantage, but they first 'engaged' with the Wuwei Chinese army, and then because the Gan army fought a battle, the physical consumption was much more serious than that of the Qing army, and it was an evenly matched opponent with double antis, and the Qing army and the Russian army were constantly cut off their horses, and the two sides were in front of the city, and it was another ' Fierce battle, with a famous general like Dong Fuxiang in charge, the morale of the Qing army did not drop but rose, even if it was cut off the horse, as long as it was not completely dead, the seriously injured Qing army still had to wave the saber and look at the opponent's horse 'legs'.

In the space of ten minutes, hundreds of casualties were inflicted on both sides.

At this time, the city 'gate' of Changping was wide open, and a brigade of cavalry pursued it, which was only seven or eight miles away from Changping Chengye, and in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the rear of the position and began to participate in the battle.

Dong Fuxiang's face changed, and he shouted: "Yi Wu, give the order, the whole army will fight and retreat, don't fall in love with the war, and preserve the strength first!" ”

Dong Yiwu also saw the reinforcements of the Russian army, about 5,000 people, the number of the Russian army was above the cavalry of the Qing army, and now it is twice as large as the Qing army, this battle is difficult to fight, hearing Dong Fuxiang's military order, Dong Yiwu hurriedly waved the order flag, began to command the army, and slowly retreated.

In this way, the cavalry of the Qing army fought and retreated along the way, and there were dead bodies of Chinese and Russian soldiers and fallen horses along the way, and the Qing army finally had a huge difference in strength, and gradually could not resist the offensive of the Russian army.

Dong Fuxiang calculated the time, almost two hours had passed, and the consumption of his subordinates was too serious, so he couldn't delay it like this forever, so he shouted and began to retreat sharply.

The Russian army was in hot pursuit, and the entire road was blocked by the Qing cavalry, and if this cavalry was not killed, it would be impossible to pursue the main force of the Wuwei Central Army.

Tianshou Mountain, Chongli and Tie Liang led the main force of the Wuwei Chinese Army, and it was all the way basic, and it originally took nearly four hours to travel, but it only took three hours to reach Tianshou Mountain.

When they came to Tianshou Mountain, the Qing soldiers sat on the ground, and they were reluctant to get up again, even Chongli rolled off their horses, sat on the boulder and gasped, frightened.

Tie Liang hurriedly shouted: "Get up for me, hurry up, build fortifications, the Russian army will kill at any time, when the time comes, there will be no fortifications, fuck, you don't want to live, hurry, 'get' the gun carriage up the mountain, hurry!" ”

The tired Qing army was reluctant to move, Tie Liang was in a hurry, this time was not the time to relax, Tie Liang pulled out his pistol, and shot a few shots at the nearby Qing army, almost hitting their feet, Tie Liang roared: "Hurry up and fuck Lao Tzu to get up, even if you die, you have to die on the mountain, otherwise Lao Tzu will set up a crane gun, and you will all be fucking sudden, come on, set up a heavy machine gun for me." ”

Seeing that Tie Liang was ruthless, the Qing army did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly got up from the ground and began to push the gun carriage up the mountain to build fortifications.

Just when everyone was building fortifications and not yet completed, Dong Fuxiang led the Qing cavalry to retreat in defeat, this resistance battle was too tragic, almost none of the Qing troops were not injured, and Dong Yiwu's shoulder was looked at a half-foot-long opening, Dong Fuxiang's hat did not know when it was cut off by the Russian army.

The cavalry of 5,000 people retreated to Tianshou Mountain, leaving only more than 2,000 people, and the rest were either killed in battle or captured by the Russian army.

Dong Fuxiang retreated to Tianshou Mountain, full of embarrassment, and asked urgently: "Two adults, how is it, how is the fortification built?" ”

Chongli looked at Tie Liang, Tie Liang was helpless, and said in his heart, this Chongli would not know anything except to shoot Lafayette's ass, if he had half of Lord Ronglu's ability, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

However, the only good thing is that Chongli knows that he is incapable and never interferes with Tie Liang's command and management.

Tie Liang replied: "Lord Dong, the time is too tight, our fortifications are only half completed, alas, ......"

Dong Fuxiang was also full of bitterness, he led the Gan army to sacrifice his life and forget his life, so he blocked the Russian army for four hours, but it was still difficult to buy them more time to build fortifications, and now it is the only way.

Less than 20 minutes after Dong Fuxiang's army ascended Tianshou Mountain, the cavalry of the Russian army arrived.

Linevich looked at the Qing troops clustered on the mountainside, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He got the news of the inside line, now Nanyuan's Wuwei army has been transferred to Beijing City, Shanhaiguan's Wuwei Right Army has also begun to move quickly towards Beijing, these two Wuwei troops together, there are 30,000 people, and if you add the Wuwei army here, it will reach 50,000 people, which will bring huge military pressure to the Russian army, although they are not afraid of them, but no one can easily win in the face of such a strong military force.

It seems that now the only way to take advantage of the new defeat of the Qing army is to completely defeat it in one go. Once it is delayed for a long time, the reinforcements of the front army of Wuwei and the right army of Wuwei arrive, but they have no backup, and once the 'medicine' is not continued, everything will be over. Linevich shouted coldly: "Order, order all the artillery to attack the mountain immediately, the cavalry is temporarily stationed, order the First Cavalry Regiment to go back, mobilize all the artillery and ammunition 'medicine' in Changping, and be sure to defeat the Qing army for me within three days and annihilate it in one fell swoop!" ”
