Abin looked over to see a large group of friendly troops pouring out of the tunnel. His heart rejoiced, reinforcements finally came up.

This reinforcement was a round of grenades from the trench against the cavalry troops in Chapter 067 of the infantry, and after a strong explosion, the chaotic cavalry was fired by a platoon of guns sticking out of the trench in the honeycomb shape in the trench, and when the few remaining cavalry reached the trench, a hand-to-hand combat unit that had already been prepared met it with a large knife in hand.

The rest of the battle was fierce, but there was no suspense left.

An hour later, the 7th Regiment began to retreat, and the British cavalry, who had abandoned their horses, mixed with the remnants of the retreating 7th Regiment, retreated to the beachhead occupied by the British.

Immediately afterwards, the mountains were full of retreating British troops, and the British troops covered each other and retreated.

It has to be admitted that the British army had good military qualities, albeit in retreat. They didn't appear to be chaotic overall. Artillery fire from the rear also began to provide strong support, and the artillery fire was fired on the retreating open space, although there was a waste of ammunition, but it played a role in blocking the pursuit of the defenders.

Qin Han did not give the order to pursue, it was only the first day, the morale of the British army had not collapsed, and their retreat was not scattered.

On the battlefield after the Great War. It seems to be depressed, and the cold sun has slanted to the west. The sun shines on the red ground like blood poured on the earth. The retreating British soldiers pulled their long shadows, which looked a little bleak against the background of the huge sunset. The day's fighting cost the British five ships and three thousand casualties to the army.

Seeing the retreat of the British troops to the seashore, the Chinese defenders now had no intention of staying on the shore, but retreated to the ship in an orderly manner.

One way or another, the battle is over. The defenders, who had been silent for a while, suddenly realized. Today's battle has been won, some people shouted loudly, some people left two lines of tears, and some people sat on the ground tired, holding a tube of lighted hookah and inhaling deeply.

Qin Han was dressed in the uniform of a lieutenant general in the army, with his hands behind his back, and his wide sleeves fluttering in the sea breeze, he asked the adjutant in a deep voice, "How many brothers have been killed or wounded?" "The specific numbers are being counted by the staff officers. Xiaguan estimated the casualties to be around 600. ”

"Put the bodies away and the injured get more treated."

Although the results of the battle were far greater than the losses, looking at the battlefield that was still filled with gunsmoke, Qin Han couldn't help but read: "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, they are still people in deep dreams. ”――

Green Ridge - The boundary between the Western Regions of China and Central Asia, from here it enters the territory of Afghanistan to the west. About 2oo miles southwest of the Uzberi Pass, there is a small town called Suman, a small town located in the Pamirs. It is the westernmost town in China. More than ten years ago, it was just a Karon (border station), and Suman became a small town from Karen because of the credit of immigrants.

Since Lin Hong's unification of China, he encouraged exchanges between various regions, and organized the immigration of Manchu and Han Chinese from the interior to Northeast China, Mongolia, Xinjiang, and North India. In this way, the policy of divide and rule implemented by the Qing Dynasty emperors before Daoguang was completely broken. The so-called reserved land reserved for the Manchurians, "self-reserved land", was filled with a large number of immigrants. Speaking of which, some people must question how deep the Han people's inherent love for the land is. Is it possible to emigrate these people to other places? In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that it is not a problem at all. During the Daoguang period, China was at the peak of population expansion, and excessive population pressure was exceeded. This makes the whole society have a tendency to demand immigration. Otherwise, how did the folk sayings come about, such as going to the west exit, breaking through the Guandong, going to the South Seas, etc.

In addition, Lin Hong has always paid attention to technical issues when formulating immigration policies. He asked the officials at the bottom of his line that the migrants must be the victims who have no food to eat after the disaster, and the peasants who are already poor. In the process of emigration, most of them were based on these people, plus exiled criminals and merchants who came to these places on their own.

These measures ensured that the entire resettlement program was carried out very smoothly, and after the implementation of the resettlement policy in the past five years, not only did the population of many reservations flourish again, but also many border areas began to come alive, and the increase in the population of these areas was more effective in consolidating the territory than the presence of thousands of troops. In such a climate, Karen like Suman has gradually become a small town with the taste of northern China, and hundreds of families are peacefully and quietly located west of the Green Mountains by a small river, like a warrior guarding the country, firmly blocking the extreme west of China.

Since General Ili's local rebellion was put down four years earlier, Su Manchu's garrison was replaced by Lin Hong's systematic army. Since the start of the Sino-British War last year, the garrison here has been strengthened. The troops now stationed here are soldiers of the 19th Infantry Division under Major General Chen Honghui.

Since the beginning of summer, the weather has been getting warmer and warmer, and the weather in Suman has also improved. Dost today. The arrival of Muhammad enlivened the town of Suman.

In order to welcome the exiled king of Afghanistan, Chen Honghui personally arrived here, and Yang Fang, the governor of Xinjiang, also arrived in this border town from Urumqi (formerly Dihua was renamed Urumqi).

Chen Honghui is dressed in the uniform of a new army general, his shirt is carried on the chest with a ribbon, a belt is tied around his waist, a novice on the belt is pinned to the holster of the latest revolver, and a saber is hung on Chen Honghui's waist on the other side, Yang Fang next to him is wearing a decent imperial standard official uniform Chinese costume (that is, the suit of later generations, the modern suit was formed in the middle of the 19th century, Lin Hong's clothing company directly copied the production under the guidance of Lin Hong, which is popular in Europe, and is called Chinese clothing, Chinese clothing, Yang Fang took out her pocket watch and looked at it, it was already 11 o'clock in western time, and an hour had passed since the agreed time. Kedost. Muhammad's ranks were still unheard. Yang Fang turned to Monk Greenqin and said, "Could it be that the British have appeared on the road?" ”

Chen Honghui shook his head and said, "Dost. Muhammad came along the Amu Darya River and did not enter the territory of Afghanistan on the way, and the Russians are fully supporting him, so I don't think it will be okay. ”
