Chapter 0601: Strangling
Tulongliangzi is a long and narrow plateau, which stretches for nearly four miles.
The back side here is steeper, and it is more laborious for the cavalry to rush up.
The front is more gentle, and the cavalry can charge up directly, but the speed will be slower.
It took Jia Min five or six days to find this place, so he decided to use it as a battlefield.
In addition to the favorable terrain, another important reason is that there is a water source.
In front of Tulong Liangzi, there is a small lake, although it is not large, but the water is relatively deep. What is more peculiar is that this lake has the characteristics of hot springs, and on the side near Liangzi, there is nearly half of the lake's surface, even in the cold winter months, it does not freeze.
With this lake, drinking water for people and livestock is guaranteed, and it can be held on for a long time.
This is the third day that the Beihai Volunteers and the Windula cavalry have been stationed here.
This is the position chosen by Jia Min, in fact, even if he didn't choose this place, it is impossible to choose another position now, because Atai has already surrounded this place.
In addition to one regiment of Shi Liu, the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Volunteer Army, and all the cavalry of the North and South Windula are currently concentrated here.
On the Mogu people's side, after Atai returned from Niangzi Pass, he was very angry when he saw that the 60,000 elites of the Nailin tribe were wiped out by Jia Min, and swore to the sky that he would avenge the tribesmen of his tribe.
So he united more than 100,000 horses from other tribes to frantically search for Jia Min's whereabouts on the Mogu grassland.
In the end, Jia Min's army was finally surrounded by Tulong Liangzi.
The battle began yesterday, and yesterday day, Atay launched a frantic attack without stopping, hardly for a moment. It was not until it was dark that the gong was sounded and the troops were withdrawn.
In yesterday's battle, the 3rd and 4th Brigades had exhausted almost all the shells, and the grenades were gone. All ammunition was depleted, except for a few soldiers who had some rifle bullets in their hands.
Although yesterday's results were huge, at least more than 30,000 people were killed on the other side, Jia Min's side also suffered huge losses.
More than 700 people were killed or wounded in the Volunteer Army, and more than 3,600 were killed and more than 1,000 wounded in the northern and southern Wendula cavalry.
Excluding Shi Liu's regiment, plus the casualties of this battle and the previous casualties in the Battle of Red Mountain, Jia Min's strength has dropped from nearly 40,000 at the time of departure to 32,000.
Although the Atai side suffered huge casualties, there were still more than 70,000 people here, and reinforcements were constantly coming.
Last night, Jia Min tried to attack with fire again, but Atai learned the lesson of the Battle of Redstone and was so vigilant that the Pyro had no chance to get close to the other party, so he had to cancel the operation.
It's noon, and on the vast battlefield in front of Tulong Liangzi, a fierce battle is going on.
This is already the second round of fighting between the two sides today.
Jia Min now has no reserves available, and all his troops are in battle, so he can withstand the crazy attack of the Mogu people.
Jia Min stood at the highest point of Tulong Liangzi, and the battle situation in front of him was in full view.
In the northeast corner of the enemy formation, another group of Mogu cavalry began to assemble.
This is a reserve of 10,000 people in Atai. They will soon go on the offensive and go into battle as a fresh force.
Jia Min turned around and looked at the twenty flamethrowers who were already lined up in front of him.
Each of them carried a spray canister on their backs and a spray gun in hand, and each of them had a resolute look on their faces.
"Brethren, your task is to rush into the enemy line and breathe fire and break their fighting spirit. Throw their formation out of order. ”
"If you go, you probably won't be able to come back. If we lose this battle, I will die here with you. If we win, I will send your corpses back to your hometown for burial, and give your families a large sum of money so that they can live well. ”
"It's up to you now, my friends, goodbye. Sing our song, follow me, and charge together. ”
Jia Min stepped on his horse and handed him a bow and arrows and a saber.
"Follow me, sing, charge! Ah, goodbye, friend, goodbye, friend, goodbye, ......goodbye, goodbye, ”
Jia Min sang a song and rushed out first. He was followed by tall and strong and eleven other soldiers. also sang and rushed up.
"Ah, goodbye, friend, goodbye, goodbye, friend, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye......, goodbye
Twenty flamethrowers rushed forward, quickly drowning in the slaughter.
At this time, the two sides were in front, and the two sides were already in a melee, and in the rear of the Mogu people, there were still a large number of Mogu cavalry, and they couldn't intervene for a while.
However, the tactics of the Mogu people are also very cunning, and they practice the tactics of round battles. When the people in front of them are tired, they change to a group of people, and so on.
On Jia Min's side, there is no one to rotate. I had to keep on top.
The 3rd and 4th Brigades, having left their rifles behind at this time, regained their bows and sabers and began to fight with cold weapons.
The Mogu cavalry was also very strong, and the two sides were inseparable.
The shouts of men, the screams of men, the neighing of horses, the clanging of sabers, were intertwined.
With the addition of Jia Min, the soldiers of the 3rd and 4th Brigades also sang along, and the soldiers fought with the enemy while singing.
Jia Min has shot five arrows in a row, the arrows are not missing, shooting down five Mogu cavalry, tall and strong and other personal soldiers, although they want to follow Jia Min closely, but rushed into the enemy formation, they were rushed away, they tried their best, and finally reunited together.
Twenty flamethrowers finally gathered together and followed them closely.
Jia Min split three Mogu people in a row and met Jia Qiang.
"Brother Qiang, come with me to fight the bloody road and send the Pyro over."
Jia Qiang immediately understood Jia Min's intentions, slashed an enemy, and came over. Seeing this, other volunteer soldiers also gathered one after another.
A cold arrow flew towards Jia Min, and Jia Min swung his knife away.
Immediately after that, another arrow flew and hit Jia Min's left shoulder. Then there was a rain of arrows, and Gao Dazhuang and two personal soldiers hurriedly flew and jumped onto Jia Min's horse and protected Jia Min with their bodies. Dozens of arrows filled the bodies of the three men.
At this point, he finally cut through the position and made a passage for the Pyro. Twenty flamethrowers, shouting songs, rushed out without hesitation.
Tongues of fire shot out, and immediately ignited a large fire in the enemy formation.
If the horses are not controlled, they will be strung around. The Pyros roamed the enemy lines. When he was shot off his horse, he lay on the ground and shot the oil out of the spray can. The enemy's saber slashed at his body, as if he didn't notice it.
Soon, the rear of the Mogu people became a sea of fire, and the enemy was defeated and fled in all directions.
At this moment, a gong sounded, and it turned out that it was Mogu Mingjin who had withdrawn his troops.
The Mogu people in the front battle array, unable to attack for a long time, have already retreated, at this time the rear formation was attacked by fire, has lost the backup, heard the gong sound, there will be a love of war, so they have retreated.
Seeing this scene, the volunteers rushed and slaughtered, and chased until the fire array before stopping.
The three pro-soldiers, including Gao Dazhuang, had already fallen off their horses. The tall man was covered with arrows, but he was not dead. Sit on the ground and still sing.
"If I die in battle, you must bury me. Please bury me in a high hill and plant a beautiful flower. Ah, every time people pass by here, they say what beautiful flowers, ah, friends, goodbye...... ”
The tall and strong sang and his voice became lower and lower, and the volunteer soldiers gathered together and sang with him, and their voices became higher and higher until they resounded in the sky.
Gao Dazhuang seemed to have exhausted his last strength, raised his hand, and saluted Jia Min. Then he closed his eyes and died.
Even if you die, you will keep a posture of salutation!
Two foreign and two pro-soldiers, who had already died, lay quietly on the side, and one of them was still with his eyes open.
With tears in his eyes, Jia Min reached out and gently wiped his eyelids. Then he turned around, looked at the sea of fire on the other side, and looked around again.
Twenty flamethrowers, not a single one returned.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on in the back."
Jia Min said calmly, got on his horse and left, and everyone followed.
The left and right flanks and rear of Tulong Liangzi were defended by cavalry from South and North Windura.
At this time, this place is also a life-and-death struggle.
Like Jia Min, Shak, Vadagas, Simari, Temir and others, in the case of a mixed group, there is no longer any need to sit in command, and they have already put on the battle and joined the battle group.
This battle, which began at eight o'clock in the morning and lasted until noon, has lasted for four hours.
In the case that the number of troops is less than that of the other party, the three-on-one battle method learned from the volunteers has exerted great power at this moment. In the case of the enemy's continuous addition of fresh forces, it still withstood the impact.
At this moment, there was a sudden panic in the rear of the enemy, and then some of the Mogu people turned back, as if to meet the enemy.
Who attacked from behind? No reinforcements, huh?
The enemy's rear was loosened, and the pressure on the front was much lighter, and Vadagasus could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He stood up with his stirrups on his stirrup, and saw two flags.
On one side is the Liberation Army, and on the other side is a big "Zhao" character.
Could it be that His Royal Highness Chang'an has come down?
Vadagasus couldn't believe it was true.
"Captain Wan, our reinforcements have arrived."
A commander approached, his face covered in blood, and his clothes stained red. His voice was hoarse, but he could still hear joy and excitement.
"Children, our reinforcements have arrived, work harder to kill these sons of bitches who raised Mogu people."
Wadagas, brandishing his saber, rushed forward again.
"Kill, kill."
The Windura cavalry shouted and fought the enemy again.
The reinforcements that came later were the 2,000 men and horses brought by Chang'an.
They traveled day and night along the way, and finally arrived at Tulong Liangzi at this time.
Although he was also extremely tired, at this time, seeing that the two sides were fighting to the death, where could he stand by and watch, almost without hesitation, he joined the battle group from behind.
This was a big surprise to the ancient people of Mo, and they were defenseless, and they were disrupted by the two thousand people in Chang'an.
At this time, the new army of Chang'an joined, carrying a large number of arrows and volleys, which caused a lot of casualties to the enemy.
When starting from Woniugang, Baochai gave Chang'an another 300 grenades, and when the distance was close, he began to throw bombs.
Although they used it for the first time, the grenade was simple to use, and it was enough to throw it out as soon as the fire was pulled.
At this time, the enemies in front of them are dense, and they don't need to be accurate. Throw it out casually and it will fall into the dense crowd.
Seeing this scene, Mo Guren didn't know how many reinforcements had come for a while, and as soon as he was afraid, his morale was discouraged, and finally someone began to flee the battlefield.
When someone fled, it began to spread, and more people began to flee, and finally it turned into a rout.
