Just when Dong Fuxiang was retiring, changes took place in Zhangjiakou City. -

Linevich saw the problem of the Gan army and ordered: "The 1st Cavalry Brigade, immediately go out of the city and make a detour, sneak behind the Gan army, and try not to make a noise." The Second Cavalry Brigade, the Third Cavalry Brigade, and the Fourth Cavalry Brigade, half an hour later, went out of the city to meet the enemy, and pressed with all their might. Order the artillery, gradually reduce the artillery fire, create the illusion that the supply of artillery shells is not available, and attract the main force of the Gan army! ”

Linevich's orders were passed down one after another, after all, this guy was a senior Russian officer who had studied at the French Army Academy, and his military command ability was one level higher than Dong Fuxiang's, and Linevich had absolute control over this group army, so he didn't need to consider any concerns, but Dong Fuxiang had to consider the pressure at all levels of the court and the survival of his strength, in contrast, Dong Fuxiang completely fell into disadvantage.

Originally, Dong Xiangfu already had a plan to retreat in his heart, but suddenly, he found that the Russian army's artillery fire was weak, Dong Xiangfu was overjoyed, this must be the Russian army has no shells, originally, the Russian army has a long-distance raid, in order to ensure the sudden 'nature' of the blitzkrieg, it will definitely not be able to carry a large number of heavy weapons, then in this case, he may still have a glimmer of hope, if he can really drive the Russian army out of Zhangjiakou at this time, then he can definitely control the position of a governor in his own hands.

Dong Xiangfu didn't just think that there were tens of thousands of Russian cavalry gathered here, if Zhangjiakou was in his hands, then he might still be able to compete with the Russian army, now he has no danger to defend, and the disparity in strength is huge, he is going to storm Zhangjiakou, I really don't know how to write the dead word.

Dong Xiangfu shouted: "Order the artillery, continue to attack with all your might, you must blow up Zhangjiakou, and after a quarter of an hour, the cavalry will prepare to attack!" ”

The artillery fire of the Qing army was even more fierce, and it would explode one after another near the city wall of Zhangjiakou, which had been blown up beyond recognition.

Before Dong Xiangfu could give the order to attack, the city 'gate' of Zhangjiakou suddenly opened, and a group of Cossack cavalry rushed out of Zhangjiakou and rushed towards the Gan army like a whirlwind.

At this time, Dong Xiangfu only reacted, there are tens of thousands of Tsarist Russian cavalry here, and he is not retreating but advancing, isn't this looking for death?

Dong Xiangfu regretted 'handing' and adding, but now he can only fight this battle hard, Dong Xiangfu roared angrily: "Artillery, guard the position, the cavalry is ready to engage in the charge!" ”

Dong Xiangfu is ready to rely on morale to repel the Russian army first, and then withdraw the troops, the idea is good, in order to avoid the Russian army following and pursuing, but can the 10,000 Gan army fight the Cossack cavalry?

The two cavalry quickly 'crossed' together, and the two steel torrents collided fiercely, this is the cavalry of the three integrated brigades, together, there are no more than 15,000 cavalry, although the Gan army is known as the first cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, and the bravery is abnormal, but even compared to the individual combat strength, it is still under the Goksa cavalry, not to mention that the number of Russian troops far exceeds the Gan army!

The two iron streams were stirred together, and the 'hand-to-hand' battle was launched in front of Zhangjiakou City, at this time the hot weapon has completely lost its effectiveness, at close range, the horse pistol has not been raised, and the opponent's saber will mercilessly cut it off the horse, which is ** 'naked' cold weapon battle.

A sabre collided together, making a piercing sound of metal impact, tragic and poignant, the two sides were stirred together, the corpses of soldiers and horses on both sides were everywhere, the ground was covered with a thick layer, the stumps and broken arms flew sideways, and the blood flowed like a river, and the red-eyed sergeants had long forgotten their fears, and the god of death was harvesting life at any time.

The two sides fought fiercely for nearly two hours, and the Gan army gradually couldn't resist the offensive of the Russian army, and began to retreat slowly.

Dong Fuxiang's eyes were filled with tears of despair, retreat, retreat, only retreat, otherwise his 10,000 sons and daughters, I am afraid that all of them will die here, this is the 'elite' elite force transferred from Gansu, and all the main forces of the Gan army are concentrated here!

Dong Fuxiang shouted: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

After hearing the military order, the Gan army retreated one after another, retreating backwards like a 'tide'.

The Russian army was in hot pursuit, and the Gan army had just run out less than five or six miles away, and suddenly a Russian cavalry, the first cavalry brigade, suddenly emerged behind!

The First Brigade of the Cavalry of more than 5,000 people lay in front of the Gan army, Dong Xiangfu felt powerless for a while, when did the Russian army ambush so many ambushes here!

Dong Fuxiang couldn't care about anything else, and roared angrily: "The whole army is assaulting, everything must be managed, and attack with all your might!" Be sure to break through the encirclement of the ambush and rush! Charge! ”

Now the Gan army has suffered from the front and rear attacks, the Gan army can't do it anymore, they all fight for their lives, fighting fiercely, and the Russian army behind them also pursued and began to form a huge encirclement, trying to eat Dong Fuxiang's Gan army in one bite.

The Gan army was not willing to be annihilated, and under the fate of the first brigade, the position of the first brigade was finally broken through by the Gan army, Dong Fuxiang did not dare to stay at all, and continued to flee.

Linevich in the back is complacent, haha, Dong Fuxiang, Dong Fuxiang, Lao Tzu finally broke up the revenge of the Yili War that year!

Linevich shouted: "The first brigade and the second brigade immediately organized men and horses, pursued them all the way to the foot of Changping City, surrounded Changping regiments, and carried out a feint. The commander will reorganize his armaments, and then march at full speed, and when the army converges, he will take Changping County in one go! ”

The men and horses of the first and second brigades rushed down first, and the two brigades together were 10,000 troops, and they were not worried about the counterattack of the Gan army, and pursued them all the way.

Linevich cleaned up the battlefield in the back, sorting out the collected artillery and ammunition.

More than a dozen 'doors' of Krupp heavy artillery and dozens of 'doors' of infantry guns were all thrown by Dong Fuxiang in front of Zhangjiakou City to raise the enemy. Besides, Dong Fuxiang, this battle was too wretched, and this also can't complain about Dong Fuxiang, even if anyone else, it is difficult to resist the offensive of Tsarist Russia under such circumstances, under the first battle, the Gan army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, and so on all the way to Changping City, the Gan army only has more than 4,000 people, less than 5,000 people, all the weapons and baggage, all lost, and the vitality is greatly damaged. Dong Fuxiang entered Changping City, couldn't hold on, and shouted: "Hurry up! Send a letter to the military department! Let's just say that we traveled day and night, when we arrived in Zhangjiakou, Zhangjiakou had fallen, Chahar Dutong, only resisted for less than half a day, was defeated by the Russian army, lost the entire Zhangjiakou, our army and the Russian army in front of Zhangjiakou City, and the Russian army battled, because of the disparity in strength, could not resist, has returned to Changping, ask the imperial court to quickly send a large army to support, otherwise, Changping can not hold! ”
