The Qing army and the Russian army launched a 'fierce' battle outside Baotou City, the Qing army occupied a favorable position and was condescending, but the Russian army was strong in strength, and it was fanned out outside the eastern city, and the casualties on both sides continued to increase. -

Meng Qingyou frowned tightly, it will definitely not work if it goes on like this, although the proportion of casualties in the Russian army is larger, but the Russian army is strong, and there are only more than 1,000 people under his command to rely on, once his 1,000 casualties are too large, the situation in Baotou City will be difficult to control.

Meng Qingyou shouted: "The first battalion of the security regiment retreated, and the first battalion of the German battalion went up, so be sure to resist the offensive of the Russian army for me!" ”

Above the eastern city, the strength of the Qing army was urgently replaced.

Outside Baotou City, Shokonov also frowned, he came to Baotou with so many 'doors' of infantry guns, the power was limited, and if he continued to attack it so strongly, the casualties would be too heavy.

Cheknov calmly observed the defense of the Qing army in Baotou City, thinking in his heart that according to the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Hohhot, the offensive of Baotou City should not be so strong, it is not realistic at all, and the difference between the two cities is too great.

Gradually, Cheknov saw the problem of the defense of Baotou City, the Qing army on the city was obviously uneven, the strong combat power was almost not inferior to the 'elite' infantry of Tsarist Russia, and the weak combat power was almost no different from Hohhot, even if it was stronger, it was extremely limited.

Cherknov laughed and said: "Order, stop the offensive, withdraw the troops!" ”

The Cossack cavalry withdrew like a 'tide', and the Qing army on Baotou City finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was too difficult, this battle was too difficult, in less than half a day, the Qing army had more than 500 casualties, 300 killed, more than 100 seriously injured, and more than 100 lightly injured.

However, after this 'fierce' battle, the courage of the Qing army also came up, the casualties of the Russian army were greater than those of the Qing army, of course, more died in the hands of Meng Qingyou's security regiment, but even so, the Qing army also understood that the soldiers of Tsarist Russia were also made of 'meat', and they were still vulnerable in front of spears and cannons.

Meng Qingyou said in a deep voice: "Everyone take advantage of the moment when the fighting stops, hurry up to transport ammunition 'medicine' and treat the wounded, and it won't be long before the Russian army will launch a second attack!" ”

At this time, Cheknov on the opposite side summoned several generals to him and said: "Everyone, I have discovered the weakness of the Qing army, Baotou and Hohhot are both under the jurisdiction of Suiyuan, and the combat effectiveness of the garrisons of the two cities cannot be so different, we have encountered such strong resistance in Dongcheng, which can only show that Baotou has a number of other troops, and all the 'elite' forces of Baotou City are concentrated here, and the other three cities' The combat effectiveness of the 'gate' is definitely not so strong, what we have to do now is to divide the army into four roads, feint to attack the four city 'gates', test it, see that the defense of the city 'gate' is the weakest, and then rely on the speed advantage of the cavalry, quickly concentrate, attack a little with all your might, and you will definitely be able to achieve all the success! The order was given to all the armies to divide into four teams, led by three regimental commanders, and launch a feint! ”

At the sound of an order, the cavalry of Tsarist Russia completely dispersed and galloped towards the other city 'gates' of Baotou.

Meng Qingyou's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Immediately send the order, all the city heads will strengthen their vigilance, and immediately enter the combat state, we must fight back fiercely, and there must be no 'chaos' and 'chaos'!" Li Leiluo, divide your battalion into three squads, rush to various cities to supervise the battle, and if there are escapees, you can shoot them! ”

Li Leiluo knew that at a critical moment, once the Tsarist Russia besieged it from all sides, the Qing troops in other cities would definitely be difficult to resist, the quality of these Qing troops was too poor, and it seemed that they could only suppress their fears by iron-blooded means!

Li Lei roared: "Zhang Mingzhi, Li He, Fang Yihan, you lead your respective companies and rush to the three city 'gates' in the south, south and west, you must organize a good defense, Li Xiao will 'hand' your company to me, and I will personally inspect the four cities!" ”

The men and horses of the security regiment immediately rushed towards the other city 'gates' according to the order, and now all the streets of Baotou City are basically empty, and the people are all hiding in their homes, and the men and horses of the security regiment gallop all the way without hindrance, galloping in the city, compared to the Russian army, it is much faster, and they have been in place in less than a moment, and they are murderous in the back to supervise the battle.

Only less than ten minutes later, the cavalry of Tsarist Russia has arrived at their respective city heads, and launched a fierce attack on the city, this siege, the hidden danger of Baotou City came out, the defense of the northern city is the weakest, the three battalions of the Yizi battalion here, it is too bad, and the commander of the Yizi battalion is the unlucky commander who was directly killed by Meng Qingyou, and now there is no supreme commander here, and the three pipe belts have no backbone, seeing the cavalry of Tsarist Russia rushing up violently, he panicked first, and the city head has been ' In a chaotic mess, it was difficult to organize an effective defense, and it was soon rushed to the front of the city by the Russian army.

Fang Yihan, who rushed to Beicheng, was furious when he saw the 'chaos' elephant, raised his hands, and directly killed the two Qing soldiers who left the city head, and roared angrily: "Whoever the fuck dares to run with Lao Tzu, they will be the end, give Lao Tzu a stand!" ”

Fang Yihan spoke, shouting: "Third Company, immediately enter the battle, leave ten people here to supervise the battle, and those who retreat will be shot on the spot!" ”

Fang Yihan led the 'elite' of the security regiment to go up directly, and Fang gradually withstood the offensive of the Russian army.

Krigin, the commander of the Russian cavalry regiment attacking below, was overjoyed and roared angrily: "Okay, this is it, immediately send a letter to the commander-in-chief, the resistance of the northern city is the weakest, immediately transfer other cavalry regiments to attack, as long as we concentrate the main force of the two regiments, we will definitely be able to break through the defense here!" ”

In a short time, more than 2,000 Russian cavalry rushed to Beicheng and launched a crazy attack on Beicheng in turn, the Qing army on Beicheng was so frightened that its 'legs' and stomachs were turned tendons, and the resistance was even more unorganized, just relying on Fang Yihan, it was difficult to resist the attack of the Russian army.

At this moment, Li Leiluo led people to rush over, and when he saw that the situation was critical, he immediately threw himself into battle!

Li Lei roared: "Fang Yihan, I'm staring here, you go back immediately, let Lao Meng launch a cavalry raid, only by defeating the Russian army, can we be safe, go quickly!" Fang Yihan hurriedly got up and rushed to Dongcheng. Above the eastern city, Meng Qingyou's face was 'pale', this Russian army was cunning enough, and it seemed that their leader was not a simple character. The corners of Meng Qingyou's mouth curled up in a cruel arc, looking at the Russian cavalry in Dongcheng who was still attacking, he said in a deep voice: "Send signal flares, let our cavalry launch a surprise attack!" The whole army is ready, we are ready to go out of the city to fight! ”
