Chapter 922: Battle of Wudaogou (6)



The battlefield seems to be divided into three places, but in fact it is linked, the so-called pull is to move the whole body, it is such a reason, there is no doubt that with the success of the surprise attack on the Qing army's left and central route armies, even if Alda himself has already died under the Qing army's bullet rain, but the remnants of the more than 100 cavalry in the Qing army junction such a toss, the original stalemate of the situation was completely broken, not only the Qing army was forced to send troops to fill the gap, the Dzungar side was not idle, taking advantage of the turmoil in the Qing army array, They have launched the most fierce offensive since the start of the war, first the left flank of the Dzungar army is almost the whole army pressed, and then, the right wing of the Dzungar army also began to launch a full force attack, as for the great strategy of the Lun Dobu, although it also sent three cavalry, but the total is only 15,000 soldiers and horses, but most of them are still steady, and this, obviously, greatly restrained the front troops and reserves of the Qing army, in this case, whether the left and right flanks of the Qing army can stabilize their positions, In the final analysis, it depends on whether the troops on both flanks themselves can withstand the onslaught of the Dzungar army.

"Prepare the guns, fire!"

The Second Regiment of the Artillery Division is a professional expert in artillery operation, although it is a temporary transfer of positions, and it is necessary to re-set the gun positions and aim at the secret position, but the tactical quality of the gunners is really good, but it is only a moment of effort, everything is ready, and at this time, the Junggar cavalry has just begun to launch the last wild charge, with the commander of the Second Artillery Regiment Cao Daliang ordered, nearly 100 artillery pieces began to shoot in turn.

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

More than 100 shells of different sizes have been screaming through the sky, drawing a beautiful parabola, smashing heavily into the assault arrow of the Dzungar cavalry, in an instant, the violent explosion resounded violently, neatly drawing a line of death, the Dzungar cavalry who dared to break forward were all blown into the sky flying minced meat, a round of shooting down for a full two minutes, stunned did not let the Dzungar cavalry who launched the charge cross the thunder pool a step, and at this time, after paying the price of more than half of the casualties, The infantry of a battalion of the Qing army where the junction was located finally annihilated the remnants of the Dzungar cavalry, which had lost the impact of horse speed, on the spot, temporarily reversing the passive situation of the left flank.

"Load, prepare, and put each cannon!"

With the strong support of the 2nd Artillery Regiment, the artillery of the Qing army on the left flank finally cooled down, and Chen Shanming, the commander of the artillery regiment in charge of the command, was finally relieved, but he couldn't care about the rejoicing, and hurriedly commanded the artillery to prepare for battle.

Shen Shi Zhengpai, since the start of the war, it has been more than two hours have passed, although the Qing army has been passively beaten, but relying on the absolute superiority in weapons, as well as the four mobile support of the second regiment of the artillery division, has never been broken through the defense line by the Dzungar army, but the casualties are really not small, although the front and rear have annihilated nearly 50,000 Dzungar officers and soldiers, but their own losses are also not small, as many as 3,000 killed in the battle, more than 5,000 wounded, Yue Zhongqi's reserves have been basically exhausted, In addition to the 3,000 troops of the 3rd Cavalry Brigade and the 2nd Artillery Regiment, only Yue Zhongqi's own personal guard battalion remained, and on the other hand, the Dzungar army, Da Cedun Duobu still had 30,000 elite troops in his hands and had never been dispatched, and the situation was obviously not very favorable for the Qing army.

"Signal!"

The battle came to such a point, not only the Qing army was in distress, but the Dzungar army was also in a state of embarrassment, there were many Mongolian athletes dying on the battlefield at every moment, and the Dzungar generals who had not yet attacked were all bitter, but the great strategy was always calm as usual, until he saw that the last battalion of the Qing army infantry also opened the camp gate, then he smiled coldly and gave the order quietly.

"Wow!"

A personal guard who had always been following behind him with a goshawk did not dare to delay a little, and hurriedly responded respectfully, and then raised his arms, and then saw the goshawk rise into the air, hovering slightly over the battlefield, and then flew to the northeast, but did not fly far, and soon it was already a dive, and pierced into a large sand vein four miles away from the rear camp of the Qing army, and finally landed firmly on the arm stretched out by a Dzungar soldier.

"Report, the second general, the general has sent an urgent letter!"

As soon as the eagle stopped, the Dzungar soldier threw out a piece of jerky with his hands, so as to reward the goshawk, and then quickly removed a small bag from the eagle's leg, but did not untie it, but hurried down the sand dune, ran towards a young general, and nodded on one knee, and respectfully reciprocated.

"All the troops are on horseback, attack!"

In fact, Xiao Ce Lun Dun Dobu had led 5,000 elite cavalry to sneak across the Wudaogou from the upper reaches as early as last night, and under the cover of night, he returned to the back of the Qing army camp, and with the help of the cover of the sand dunes, he hid for nearly a day. Xiao Ce Lun Duobu didn't dare to delay a little, and with a wave of his hand, he had already given the order loudly.

"Ho-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho, hoo-hoo......"

Five thousand Junggar elite cavalry has been on standby for nearly a day in this hidden place, although they can't see the battle situation four miles away, but the sound of artillery shelling is clearly audible, they all know the tragedy of today's battle, one by one their hearts have already held back their strength, eager to kill into the rear camp of the Qing army as soon as possible, come to the bloody camp, but the order has never been issued, and a group of Dzungar warriors can only wait anxiously, the fire in their hearts has long been strong enough to burn the sky out of a big hole, and now, the order to attack has been issued, All the soldiers were in high spirits, jumped on their horses, roared and rushed out of the hidden place, and rushed towards the tall sand dunes in the rear camp of the Qing army like a wild dragon.

"Herald, report to the division commander that the thief army has five thousand and is rapidly attacking my rear battalion!"

Although the rear of the Qing army camp is hilly terrain, except for a few higher sand dunes, the rest are just some slightly steep undulating terrain, for the Dzungar cavalry in the wild run, there is no big problem at all, such a rush up, the speed is amazingly fast, the yellow sand is flying all over the sky, the murderous spirit rises in the sky, the momentum can be described as amazing, but the Qing army company commander who guarded the top of the sand dunes in the rear camp did not have the slightest panic, calmly cleared the approximate number of Dzungar cavalry, and then waved his hand, He ordered with a calm face.

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

At the order of the commander of the defending company, one of his trumpeters blew the horn of emergency, and another flag-bearer waved two small flags in his hand, and reported the number of attacking enemy troops and the distance from their own camp to their own sentry on the watchtower.

"Report, Commander Yue, a large number of thief cavalry appeared three miles away from the rear camp, numbering five thousand, and they are attacking and killing our camp at high speed."

As soon as the sentry on the watchtower received the alarm, he did not dare to delay in the slightest, and hurried to report to Yue Zhongqi.

"Well, give the order, let the guard battalion send a company to the dunes to assist in the defense, and the rest of the people and the rest of the cavalry brigade are ready to attack!"

At this time, the battle on three sides is fierce, and the reserves that the Qing army can deploy are very few, once the soldiers of the company in the rear battalion can't resist the impact of Xiao Cedun Duobu, waiting for the Qing army is only the end of the whole army, the situation can not be said to be critical, but Yue Zhongqi's face is still calm, and after a little silence, he calmly gave the order.

"Wow!"

Yue Zhongqi gave such an order, and the herald who came to pass the ceremony did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly responded, and hurriedly rushed down the tall watchtower, and rushed to inform the departments, and in a moment, a company of Qing soldiers rushed out of the gate of the rear camp in a hurry, and began to climb up the top of the big sand dune along the sand slope.

"Look, general, there is movement in the camp after the clear dog!"

The sand dunes behind the camp of the Qing army are the tallest one in the vicinity, even if it is across the camp of the Qing army, the Dzungar officers and soldiers standing on the opposite bank of Wudaogou can easily see the movement on the sand dunes, and the reinforcements of that company have just climbed to the middle of the dune, and they have been seen by the sentries of the Dzungar army. It must be that Xiao Cedun Dobu has already led his troops to launch a strong attack!

"Order: Tengger, Ji Rentai, and Timuto each led their troops and horses into the battlefield from the left, center, and right, and attacked with all their might, and there must be no mistake!"

The killer weapon that has been in ambush for a long time is finally about to play its due role, and the great strategy is full of excitement, but he has not forgotten the business because of this, but seeing that the smile on the corner of his mouth flashed away, it was replaced by a murderous aura, and he unequivocally issued the order for a general attack, but out of caution, he himself did not join the battlefield, but led more than 5,000 personal guards to stand still.

"Sons, come with me and kill all the dogs!"

"Attack, kill!"

"The decisive moment has come, sons, attack!"

……

The general order of the great strategy and the three generals of Tengger did not dare to delay a little, and they all shouted and led their troops to rush through the five ditches, like three whirlwinds into the battlefield, for the two sides who had fought for nearly a day, the critical moment of the decisive victory has arrived, who can have the last laugh, and will soon see it!
