Chapter 891: Hurricane Rush (1)



The Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, gets its name because of its turbidity and yellowing, but that is the middle and lower reaches of the matter, in fact, the water in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is not yellow at all, neither turbulent nor surging, but it is clear to see the bottom, at least in this section of the river that flows outside the city of Lanzhou, although the river surface is wider, there are more than 400 meters of huge, but the water flow is extremely gentle, not too deep, the deepest part is seven or eight meters, the two banks are shaded by green trees, lush, flowers and bushes are dotted in the meantime, butterflies and bees fly, the birds are circling, the scenery can be described as beautiful, but the Shaanxi Governor Yanxin, who stands on the gate tower of the southern city of Lanzhou, has no intention of appreciating, a pair of dim old eyes frequently look at the avenue on the other side of the river, and the inside is full of worry.

Yanxin received an order five days ago, saying that there were 20,000 new troops to come to the Lanzhou area to quell the rebellion, let it take a pontoon bridge to meet, because of such an order, Yanxin had to lead his troops out of the city to fight a big battle with the rebellious Tibetans, losing more than 2,000 elites, only then did he barely kill the Tibetans besieging the city, and sent sailors to hastily build two pontoon bridges, during which he repelled the attacks of the Tibetan tribes many times, and the originally small number of defenders of the city is now only more than 5,000 people, and nearly half of them are wounded, once the reinforcements can not arrive in time, Yanxin really didn't know what to do to hold on to Lanzhou City.

"Look, Lord Commander, there's movement on the other side of the river!"

Just when Yanxin was worried, he saw a Goshha following him, and he was already shouting excitedly.

"Huh...... it's finally here, quick, open the city gate to greet you!"

Hearing the sound, Yanxin followed the prestige of the past, into the eyes to see the avenue on the other side of the river suddenly smoke and dust billowing up, in the banner waving, a Biao army is galloping horses, although it is still not clear to see the scale of the flag and the army, may only come from that direction can only be their own reinforcements Undoubtedly, as soon as he saw this, Yanxin's hanging heart immediately fell to the ground, not caring about the reinforcements still have to cross the river, hurriedly roared, and jumped down the city gate tower like a fly......

"Zhang Debiao, the last general of the Yellow River Water Division, is here, I don't know which general of your department has arrived, please come out to speak."

At the ferry crossing on the south bank of the Yellow River, a general of the Navy Division led more than a dozen Goshha to stand by the pontoon bridge.

"General Zhang, the commander of the First Brigade of the First Cavalry Division, Ke Luntai, was ordered to take the lead in sending 3,000 troops across the river on a business trip, please General Zhang hurry up and arrange the crossing of the river, the military situation is urgent, and there can be no delay!"

A bearded general in the cavalry army who has not completely stopped rode out of the crowd, returned the salute with a solemn face, and gave the general order quite arrogantly, this person is the commander of the first brigade of the first cavalry division, Ke Luntai, who was originally a general in the Hongqing guards, and has joined the new army since the expedition to the east, and has been promoted to the high position of the brigade commander.

"Well, the pontoon bridge is ready, and there are one hundred and twenty large and small boats, please General Ke arrange the order of crossing the river, and I will cooperate with it."

Seeing that the other party's official rank was only the same level as his own, but his tone was so rushing, Zhang Debiao couldn't help but be a little annoyed, but the other party took out military information to suppress people, even if Zhang Debiao was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to have any objections, so he could only smile helplessly and answer.

"Well, all of them are here, the first regiment dismounts, leads the horses across the river with Ben, the second regiment and the third regiment get on the boat, and the action is faster!"

Hearing Zhang Debiao's words, Ke Luntai just nodded, and there was no greeting at all, and with a wave of his hand, he had already given a loud order.

Cavalry crossing the river is never an easy task, not to mention that there are pontoon bridges, there are also overloaded boats, but the horses are afraid of water, if you want to cross the river smoothly, you must also cover the horses, and you must be careful to lead the way, not to mention how troublesome it is, after a long time of busyness, Keluntai was finally the first to go up to the north bank.

"This general is invited, the old man Yanxin, welcome the late, and ask the general to bear with me."

Ke Yan had just landed on the north shore, and Yanxin had already led a group of generals to hurry forward and greeted him very politely.

"The last general, the commander of the first brigade of the first cavalry division of the new army, Ke Luntai, see the commander of the army."

Although Ke Yan is an arrogant person, but in the face of Yanxin, the governor of Shaanxi at the border of Jiuzhen, he did not dare to be rude, and hurriedly made a standard of beating thousands, and respectfully greeted him.

"The general doesn't have to be polite, he's worked hard all the way, and it's good to go to the city to rest?"

Yanxin has been stationed at the border pass, and has never witnessed the sharpness of the new army, but after all, he is a senior general in the army, and he has never heard of the strength of the new army.

"Thank you for the kindness of the army, however, the last general has a military order, and when the whole army crosses the river, he must lead his troops to the Sanchuan camp of Bannuan, this city, the last general will not enter, and please bring the guides promised to our army by Lord Yan, and the last general will set off in a while."

Keluntai politely but resolutely rejected Yanxin's invitation, and instead urged the guide.

"Banuan Sanchuan Camp? This ......, is it just the 3,000 soldiers and horses of your department? ”

As soon as he heard that Ke Luntai was going to the Banan Sanchuan camp, Yanxin couldn't help but gasp, no side, this road was all rebellious Tibetans, after this more than half a month of riots, now the riots and bandits who are wrapped in the mat have reached tens of thousands, 3,000 soldiers and horses seem to be a lot, but if you really fall into the bandits, I am afraid that it is difficult to even have half a bone left, not to mention that the Banan Sanchuan camp is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once it is difficult to go down quickly, it will be surrounded by the bandits, and there is nowhere to escape.

"What the Lord of the Army is saying is that at the moment, there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses in our department, and the follow-up army will be coming soon, and I also ask the Lord of the Army to make relevant arrangements for the supply of baggage."

Ke Lun Tai can understand Yan Xin's surprise, in fact, when he received this order, Ke Lun himself was also surprised and inexplicable, but as a soldier, even if he knew that the road ahead was a sea of swords and fires, Ke Lun Tai would definitely not retreat, this time, he was ready to fight to the death, of course, such an idea, Ke Lun Lun was not going to say it in public, and he just explained a few words.

"Well, the old man will send someone to bring all the guides."

The corners of Yanxin's mouth twitched a few times, but at the end of the day, he still didn't say any words of dissuasion, just nodded with a slight frown, and replied with a worried face.

"There is Lao Lao, the last general still has military affairs, don't dare to slack off a little, please let the last general go to rectify the soldiers and horses first, and then come to ask the boss for benefits in the future."

It was past noon, and his troops were still crossing the river one after another, Ke Luntai couldn't help but be a little anxious, and he didn't want to talk any more, so he bowed to Yanxin, and after a few polite words, he immediately rode his horse and rushed back to the ferry, shouting loudly to order all the soldiers who had come ashore one after another to hurry up.

"The whole army obeyed the order, went all the way to the west, did not lag when encountering the enemy, killed me, took the Banuan Sanchuan battalion, and set off!"

It took three thousand cavalry an hour and a half to all cross the river, and when the whole team was finished, Ke Luntai did not care about letting his soldiers rest for a while, he was already holding a knife in his hand, pointing to the west, shouting and giving the order to attack, in an instant, thousands of cavalry rushed up in unison, and in the smoke and dust, they rushed towards the west without an ounce......

"Report, Lord Buba (the title of the head of the Tibetan tribe), there is a cavalry army in the direction of Lanzhou that is killing our department at high speed, and it is only five miles away from here!"

Less than thirty miles away from Lanzhou City, Bagari Gexia, a member of the Pingguo Luoke Division, was drinking sullen wine in the big tent of the Chinese army, when suddenly, a newspaper horse galloped in from outside, knelt down in front of him, and said a word with a worried face.

"What? How many people came? Who led the army, say! ”

Pingguo Rok is the second largest tribe in the six tribes of the Tibetan rebellion, a total of more than 9,000 warriors, is the backbone of this rebellion, and a large number of Hui, Mongolian, Kazakh and many other small and medium-sized tribes of the army, the total strength of the peak had as many as more than 40,000 people, Kali Ge Xia Zhi was complacent, not only led the troops to attack the city near Zhuang Langwei, but also tried to take the important town of Lanzhou in one fell swoop, but unfortunately the soldiers just arrived under the city of Lanzhou, they were suddenly hit by Yanxin, and lost more than 6,000 people in plain white, and had to lead the troops to temporarily retreat and camp. And sent a large number of troops to requisition grain and heavy baggage, planning to reorganize the team, about the third tribe of the secret department together to attack Lanzhou again, this coldly heard that Lanzhou has a cavalry to cover up, on the spot in a hurry, jumped up suddenly, grabbed the corset of the horse, and roared angrily.

"If you go back to the Ba people, all the cavalry who came here looked like they were only 3,000 horsemen, and the banner was not like the banner of the Lanzhou Army, and the small ones couldn't recognize the way the banner came from."

Seeing the hideous look on Gari Gexia's face, the reporter did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly reported the results of the sentry.

"Three thousand rides? Hey, it's a good time, give the order, the whole army is assembled, and Lao Tzu eats this clear dog! ”

As soon as he heard that there were only 3,000 cavalry of the Qing army that had been killed, Kali Gexia couldn't help but be happy, although he sent a lot of grain collection teams, but there were more than 20,000 people in the camp, especially the elite 9,000 people in his headquarters, he was not afraid of the arrival of the 3,000 Qing army, not only did not panic, but he had the heart of annihilating the enemy, but seeing that he smiled coldly, he had already roared and gave an order.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

As soon as the general of the Garigsha commanded, the terrible sound of the horn immediately burst out, and the camp, which was still peaceful, suddenly became a mess, and a group of hidden soldiers rushed out of the barracks on foot or on horseback......
