"It's simple, because we all think it's best to go this way." Chen Tingxiang smiled, "Just like we used to discuss endlessly in Hongda, if Wei Yan really came out of Meridian Valley, what would the result be like?" ”

"That makes sense," Cao Wenyuan nodded, "So, how do we deal with them specifically?" The soldiers are not tired of deceit, shouldn't we also give them more traps? ”

"Hehe, your brother is too modest, don't forget, I'm here to cooperate with your brother, you're the main general?" Chen Tingxiang took out a box of crumpled cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Cao Wenyuan, and lit one himself.

"Come on, don't pretend to be in front of me anymore, anyway, your brother used to be our captain in Hongda, how dare we play in front of your brother?" Cao Wenyuan smiled and took a hard puff of his cigarette.

"Then you're welcome." Chen Tingxiang picked the hat on his head with his cigarette and gestured on the map, "One of your regiments stays at the bridgehead, as long as they try to cross the river, block them, fight hard, be resolute, and don't let them advance half a step there." On this side, your main force is ambushed in the mountains on the north side of Zhifu Avenue, once a Tsarist ghost rushes to cross the Baima River, the troops arranged in front of the front line will pretend to be insufficient strength, abandon the estuary, and retreat directly to Jinji Mountain to organize defense, and induce them to cross the Baima River. As for the south side, leave it to us. As soon as all the Russian ghosts come up and your signal is issued, we will immediately block their retreat and wipe them all out between the White Horse River and the Xiaoyao River. How's that, this piece of meat is so fat? ”

"Yes, yes," Cao Wenyuan's slightly closed eyes widened, and he nodded with satisfaction, "Brother, this idea is really good, with your teaching brigade to fortify between the anchorage and the bridgehead, even if the main force of Tsarist Russia is really from the bridgehead, we can be prepared." ”

"You......" Chen Tingxiang kicked on a tree stump that was used as a stool, turned his head and pouted at Cao Wenyuan, and waved his hand, "These Tsarist ghosts, they all came overnight." In this case, they actually rushed to the bridgehead despite fatigue, it was not because they were in a hurry, but it was obviously a trick, and their main force was actually resting somewhere more than ten miles away on the other side of the river. Let me tell you, the guy across from us isn't a mortal either. ”

Minabjeski is indeed not ordinary.

Just as Chen Tingxiang calculated for him, he calculated that if there was a brigade of the Taiping Red Army on the west side of the Baima River, and at this time it was time for a large-scale fight to start on the bridgehead, he left the temporary habitat more than ten miles away from the east bank of the river and marched towards the Baima River.

By now, his vanguard had crushed the Taiping Red Army on the other side of the White Horse River as they tried to intercept him. Seeing that he didn't even fire a single shell, his soldiers killed the few and obviously ill-prepared Taiping Red Army soldiers and occupied Boyu smoothly, although he was very proud, but his main force was still not in a hurry to cross the river.

Minabjeski was not stupid, he knew that the more than 100 artillery pieces carried by his army were easy to cross the river, and if he really accidentally fell into the trap arranged by the opponent in advance, it would be even more difficult to come back. It was not until the vanguard had already probed more than two miles to the west bank of the White Horse River, and the follow-up infantry had made the necessary searches on both sides of the road, and the return was that there was absolutely no large number of enemy troops in front of him, that he calmly crossed the river in large numbers.

Minabjeski looked at his watch, and the hour hand pointed to exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. If nothing else, two hours later, he will be able to appear in Gushan. By that time, before it got dark, he could continue to attack from behind against his opponents who were trying to capture the fort group on the south bank of Weihaiwei. Of course, the opponents will not be unaware that he is coming, so what, even if you withdraw from the battle for the South Bank Battery, you will be hit from both front and back at the same time.

At this time, Minabjeski even thought about the controversy between him and Barushka, Dasamov and others at the beginning of the year about how to deploy the Weihai garrison in various places to be more scientific. The hearts of Barushka and others are too big, and they always want to eat as much as possible, but they never think about danger. If he had listened to his own opinion and not deployed those two regiments along the coast of Rongcheng, but used them to strengthen the land defense of the south bank battery, why would he be where he is today.

"My lord, the east bank of the Xiaoyao River has encountered stubborn resistance from the Taiping army."

Hearing the alarm coming back from the front, Minabjeski didn't seem too surprised. He held up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the gunshots and fireworks. It must have been that the Taiping Red Army, which had just fled, had been reinforced by men and horses from the west bank, and was fighting a last battle, in order to buy the necessary time for the regrouping of the brigade they were concentrating on attacking the forts on the south bank.

"Lyosa, order all the artillery to speed up the crossing of the river and support the battle ahead," Minabjeski waved at his adjutant, "and tell the Muka battalion to launch a flank attack from the south, and be sure to destroy their last line of defense as much as possible." ”

After speaking, he looked at the somewhat chaotic Povska camp that had just crossed the White Horse River on the left flank, and frowned slightly, "Poka, take your Cossack eagles well, this is a war, not a woman." ”

More than 400 Cossack cavalrymen whistled and giggled as they sorted out their formations.

"Don't worry, Dad, as long as it's time for us to go up, it's as easy as robbing a woman to beat anyone." Povska Pegasus rushed in front of Minabjeski, beautifully shaved his mount, and pointed at the battlefield with the whip in his hand, "Daddy, shall I go and rush?" ”

"My child, I don't need you yet." Minabjeski stroked his beard and smiled lovingly at Povska. Many of his officers and soldiers liked to call him "Daddy," and he liked to hear that kind of name. He was approaching sixty years of age, and his only son, who had been martyred seven years earlier in the Tsar's crusade against Hungary, now treated all the officers and men of the regiment as his own children. "Listen, their firepower is starting to weaken, and when our artillery fire begins, they will collapse. Don't worry, there will be a chance for you to show it ahead. ”

"I hope I'll meet a tougher opponent," Povska's whip flicked his hat, "or my pigs will train in vain." ”

Cao Wenyuan crouched among the trees on the hill, which was only less than 200 steps away from Zhifu Avenue. Under his nose, he could directly see that on the White Horse River, the artillery of Tsarist Russia had already entered the water. Sandwiched between the rolling hills on both sides, the Zhifu Avenue was filled with advancing Tsarist soldiers. Anchored in a wide area, a large number of Tsarist soldiers were still adjusting, and in the telescope, he even saw the conversation between Minabjesky and Povska.

He held up the binoculars, as if he wanted to see through the opposite hill whether Chen Tingxiang's men and horses had also arrived? But apart from the hills, which were still quiet as usual, and the free jungle, he saw nothing. He lowered his binoculars and looked down again. In order to guard against the search of Tsarist Russia, he did not arrange hidden troops in advance on several mounds near the avenue, and now, groups of Red Army soldiers are quickly and silently seizing these commanding heights from the back.

Almost. Cao Wenyuan looked at the dozens of mortars and grenadiers erected behind him, "Damn, why is that group of devil cavalry by the river still not moving." He cursed under his breath.

"Don't say it, it seems that this Tsarist ghost does have some ability," the chief of staff beside him smiled, "This must be the most elite unit of the Tsarist Russian ghost, staying behind as a covering force for his artillery team, and this can also give those guys in the teaching brigade a chance to vent." So far, it is estimated that they have not had a good chance to directly confront the Tsarist ghosts right away. ”

Cao Wenyuan sighed softly and raised the telescope again. On the east bank of the Xiaoyao River, the resistance of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire began to weaken significantly, while on the other side of the river, the gunfire became intensive. This is because the blocking force has begun to withdraw to the west bank of the river in a planned manner in accordance with the prior deployment. The area formed between the White Horse River and the Xiaoyao River is too small, otherwise it would be difficult to give Tsarist Russia a chance to maneuver.

On the mountain road, according to the sequence of marches, a group of Tsarist Russians was definitely in order, and under the inspiration of the news of the victory in front of them, they were happily speeding forward. On the beach of the White Horse River, the Russian artillery that had just come ashore also began to join the marching queue one after another, probably because the front needed artillery support, and the infantry was giving way to the advancing artillery. To the south, the cavalry units of Tsarist Russia, which had been on guard, had moved slowly.

"Let's get started." Cao Wenyuan

"Let's go!" The chief of staff raised the small red flag in his hand and waved it down vigorously.

"Bang bang bang ......" all the muzzles began to roar almost at the same time.

The sound of artillery was accompanied by a series of gunfire and explosions.
