Chapter 898: Beacon Fire Everywhere (2)

"Order the troops to stop advancing and rest in place for half an hour!"

Yue Zhongqi knew early on that the Pingguo Luoke Department of Gali Gexia led the army to entrench between Taiping Town and Lanzhou, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because in Yue Zhongqi's view, the Tibetan army was just a rabble, and the enemy could be defeated in a battle, and the original plan was to defeat the Tibetan army on the way, but he didn't expect that Kali Gexia actually played with the turtle and did not come out, the enemy situation has changed, and the original battle plan must be adjusted, even if Yue Zhongqi can't wait to rush all the way to the Banuan Sanchuan camp, But he didn't dare to risk the lives of his 20,000 soldiers, and in desperation, he could only give a loud order to stop advancing.

"Senior Commander Yue, why are you stopping here!"

Yue Zhongqi's order, the poignant horn sounded, and the nearly 20,000 troops who were marching in a hurry immediately stopped slowly, but He Min, who was leading his troops to wander on both sides of the army to take on the task of vigilance, was in a hurry, but seeing that he led a few Goshha to ride his horse straight to the Chinese army, no one had dismounted yet, and the dissatisfied cheers were already ringing, there was no other, Ke Luntai was his and Min's favorite general, and now he was besieged by the enemy army, and Min was eager to directly lead the cavalry to kill the Banuan Sanchuan camp, but he was in a hurry, He didn't dare to leave his infantry alone-the combat effectiveness of the new infantry army is really strong, but the march in the wilderness is very vulnerable to a sneak attack by the cavalry, once attacked, the loss will be great, such a responsibility, and Min obviously can't afford it, because of this, He Min can only be patient 'sex' to accompany the infantry to rush on the road, but the heart has already flown to the three rivers of Bannuan, and now I heard the horn sound wrong, how can I not be anxious.

"It's just right for the division commander, I just received a report of the enemy's situation, in the barracks of the boy of Garigsha, he is trying to defend the camp in vain, and a strong attack is inevitable, do you have any opinion on this?"

He Min's attitude of asking questions was obviously a little too much, but Yue Zhongqi didn't care so much, and explained calmly.

"Oh? If the turtle doesn't come out, then it will be flattened, and I don't believe that so many broken camps can stop the artillery fire of my army! ”

As soon as he heard Yue Zhongqi say this, the anger in Hemin's heart disappeared a lot, but he didn't think it was a big deal, there was no other thing, closed camp and sticked, for the army in the era of cold weapons, it was really not easy to break through the enemy's defense, and the night attack might be able to get some effect, once the frontal attack, the attacking side would suffer a big loss, but for the Qing army at this time, closing the camp and sticking to it was no different from suicide, and a cannon fire rushed over, No matter how strong the fence is, it will not be much stronger than the paper paste, and as for the bows and crossbows in the hands of the defenders, they are like toys at all, and they can't help the Qing officers and soldiers who are far away from the 'shooting' range.

"That's good, our department will attack after half an hour, and the division commander will lead the cavalry to sweep the formation, once the enemy is defeated, and the division commander can just drive the thieves away, don't chase after it."

He Min said it lightly, but Yue Zhongqi was the commander of the Northern Route Army, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, no side, although the more than 40,000 Tibetan troops were not a big deal, but if they really wanted to take it, it was not as easy and comfortable as He Min said, besides, time was very precious for the Qing army, and it was really impossible to delay, but seeing that He Min was so bullish, Yue Zhongqi didn't want to discuss more about the details of the war with him, so he just politely admonished.

"This is natural, Master Yue can rest assured, and he has his own measure."

He Minyuan was in a hurry to rescue the besieged Keluntai Division, and he didn't want to waste more time on the miscellaneous soldiers of the Pingguo Luoke Division, so he would not object to Yue Zhongqi's proposal, so he accepted it......

"The Qing army is coming, the Qing army is coming!"

At the end of the day, a puff of smoke and dust arose behind the hills in the distance, more than a dozen flags were unfurled, and the sentries who were watching the movement from the high watchtower suddenly shouted, but they blew the horn vigorously, and in an instant, the already tense atmosphere suddenly exploded, and the "color" of "commotion" and "chaos" rang one after another, so that the generals of the Tibetan army at all levels who were responsible for the bombing were all busy "chaotic".

"'Bastard' account, pass the order, whoever dares to 'mess' and say 'chaos' again, will be killed!"

Seeing that the battle had not yet been fought, the morale of his own army had been shaken, even if Gari Gesha was angry, he 'pulled' out the scimitar at his waist, slashed into the air, and roared angrily, finally suppressing the 'commotion' of his soldiers.

"Order, the whole army stops, and line up on the spot!"

Yue Zhongqi rode his horse to the forefront of the army, and he saw the vigilance in the Tibetan army camp, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't worry about the Tibetan army's attack at all, and led his troops until he was less than 400 steps away from the Tibetan army's camp, and then waved his hand and gave a loud order.

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

As soon as Yue Zhongqi's general ordered, the herald who followed him hurriedly blew the horn, and the nearly 20,000 troops who were originally marching immediately took action, first the cavalry maneuvered on both flanks to cover the formation of the infantry army, and then the artillery regiment began to move forward, arranging the position in an orderly manner.

Each infantry division of the Qing army is equipped with an artillery regiment, which is generally composed of two light infantry artillery battalions and a medium anti-aircraft artillery battalion, of which each light infantry artillery battalion has 27 'guns', and the guns of the medium-sized anti-aircraft artillery battalion are relatively few, only 18 'guns', under conventional conditions, it is not equipped with heavy artillery, but this time the North Route Army shoulders the heavy task of attacking many cities, Hongqing specially 'draws' from the artillery division and transfers two 'doors' of heavy artillery to the North Route Army, and the whole division has a total of 74 guns The cannon, this guy is all arranged, the formation is really terrifying, the battle has not yet started, the Tibetan army camp is already a faction of panic, if it is not for the Kali Gesha personally pressed the formation, I am afraid that more than 40,000 soldiers will flee on the spot.

The first division is the most 'elite' unit in the new army, and its tactical literacy is needless to say, starting from Yue Zhongqi's order to set up the formation, until the slowest artillery regiment completes the deployment of the artillery position, and it only 'spent' less than half an hour to gather the communists.

"Report to the division commander, the artillery regiment has been arranged, please instruct!"

Although the artillery position had been deployed, Chen Shanming, the commander of the artillery regiment, did not dare to take it lightly, and after checking the entire position again, he trotted to the Chinese army, gave a military salute to Yue Zhongqi, and asked for instructions in a loud voice.

"Let's get started!"

Since I learned the news that Kali Gexia was sticking to the camp, it has been delayed for more than an hour, seeing that it is difficult to arrive in Taiping Town on time, Rao is Yue Zhongqi's face is still calm, and his heartstrings can't help but be slightly tightened.

"Wow!"

Yue Zhongqi had already given the order, Chen Shanming didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly responded, hurriedly ran back to the artillery position arranged in the forefront, shook his hand, picked up two small rolled flags from his waist, shook his wrist, bulleted the two flags, one red and one white, held it high above his head, waved it hard, and roared loudly: "Attention to all artillery, five rapid 'fire', fire!" ”

"Knock, knock, knock......"

Chen Shanming's shouting order did not subside, 74 'doors' of artillery had already begun the 'shooting' performance, in the huge roar of the violent sound, one by one large or small shells pierced the sky, whistling and smashing towards the camp of the Tibetan army, such a huge momentum, the entire Tibetan army camp suddenly 'chaos' into a mess - the Tibetan army also has artillery, of course, all of them are the old artillery captured from the Qing army during the previous rebellion, the number is not much, and there are only more than 20 'gates', attacking Zhuang Speaking of which, he is not unfamiliar with artillery attacks, but he has never seen such a long-range cannon as the New Army, and just hearing the whistling sound of the cannonballs piercing the sky is enough to make the Tibetan army shudder.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The roaring and swooping shells did not care about the mood of the Tibetan officers and soldiers, drew a beautiful parabola, and smashed heavily into the Tibetan army camp, and the violent explosion suddenly shook the sky, dozens of fires exploded, thick gunpowder smoke billowed up, and countless shrapnel swept 'privately', and in an instant, the Tibetan soldiers who were caught off guard were blown up to the ground and were extremely wounded, the stumps and broken arms flew in all directions, the wounded rolled to the ground and howled, and the lucky ones who were lucky enough to be alive were extremely frightened and 'chaotic', not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the generals of the Tibetan army were all It was only the first round of shelling, and the entire Tibetan army camp was on the verge of collapse.

The Qing officers and men did not pay any attention to the panic and fright of the Tibetan army, and in accordance with the regulations, they loaded their guns in an orderly manner, pulled the bolts, and smashed round after round of shells into the already 'mixed' and 'chaotic' Tibetan army campsEven if Gari Gexia desperately suppressed the bullets, and even did not hesitate to kill more than a dozen 'chaotic' soldiers, he was powerless to stop the rout of the Tibetan army. "Order, the cavalry attack, scatter the thieves, and grab as many horses as possible!" Seeing that the Tibetan army had completely collapsed, Yue Zhongqi did not order an artillery bombardment again, but issued an order for a general attack, and immediately, the terrible horn sounded violently, and the cavalry on both wings of the Qing army began to accelerate, like two indestructible blades rushing towards the Tibetan army camp......
