Chapter 207: Victory and No Defeat

"......Boom", a flowering bomb exploded seven or eight meters away from Xu Dongshan, and the shock wave and the splashing earth and rocks directly overturned him and covered a layer. Xu Dongshan turned over and sat up, ignoring the pain of his head being smashed by the stone, and looked at the explosion in a hurry.

In the dark smoke of gunpowder, two mutilated corpses lay motionless on the ground, and a wounded man with a broken arm was screaming with exhaustion.

The burst of fireworks engulfed the three Volunteers themselves!

"Don't stop, keep rushing with me—" Xu Dongshan instructed his guards to urgently bandage the wounded, and gave ruthless orders in his mouth.

Keep rushing, keep rushing-

Even if the shell falls on the head of your own people, keep rushing!

Because of this accidental injury, the already difficult charge became more difficult, and morale was also lowered. It's enough to be killed by the enemy, but what is it if you are killed or injured by your own people?

But the team was really close to the mountain. Otherwise, how could the shells that had been exploding at the top of the hill fall into the ranks of the Volunteer Battalion's own people? Xu Dongshan will never allow this charge to retreat!

"Kill—"

In the screaming sound of fighting, Xu Dongshan shouted and was the first to pounce into the group of Russian soldiers. After being 'mistakenly wounded' by two more bullets, the shock team of the Volunteer Battalion finally rushed into the position of the Russian army despite the bullets of the Russian army. Thankfully, they didn't encounter a powder keg attack.

Xu Dongshan is a kung fu master. Wu Jin Shi was born, although he is only a third-class Wu Jin Shi, but he is definitely a kung fu master. The martial arts of the Qing Dynasty, which only set up martial arts without martial arts, only focused on bow and horse arm strength, and did not focus on strategic strategy, was really used to select martial arts athletes.

There are three martial arts, the first two swords, horses, bows and arrows, brave arm strength, and the last Kawen, also called "Cheng Wen", called "infield", which is equivalent to a cultural class exam. Originally, it was a test of strategies and essays, "strategy" is equivalent to a question and answer question, and "theory" is to write an argumentative essay according to the test question. During the Shunzhi period, it was set as two articles on policy and two articles on theory, and the topics were selected from the four books and the book of soldiers. During the Kangxi period, it was changed to one policy and two treatises. The questions are from the three military books of "Sun Tzu", "Wu Tzu" and "Sima Fa", and the topics are only from the "Analects" and "Mencius", and the difficulty of the examination has been greatly reduced. When it came to Qianlong, it was changed to a topic of strategy, a topic, and the topics were all selected from the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts", which was really a weasel, and a litter was not as good as a litter. During the Jiaqing period, considering that many martial artists could not write, the strategies and theories were not qualified, and many people with outstanding achievements in the field were often defeated in the infield, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty needed to accept these people into the imperial court system for the sake of rule, and there was a White Lotus Uprising with a history of eight or nine years, so it simply abolished the policy and theory, and instead wrote a paragraph in the "Seven Books of the Martial Arts" as required, usually only about 100 words. Is there still a hairy level for this? It's purely a martial arts competition!

Therefore, after the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the 'professional talents' who were born in the regular martial arts were completely looked down upon by the 'self-taught talents' who were born in the army, so that the people who were born in the army were regarded as the 'right path' of the martial arts. Just as it is not surprising that officers from military academies are completely looked down upon by officers who have been promoted from the grassroots level!

The Manchu martial arts played a trick that had never been done in previous dynasties.

Fight, a tragic white-knuckle fight!

Xu Dongshan's personal force can completely crush the Russian soldiers on the opposite side, but the soldiers of the Volunteer Battalion are one-on-one with the Russian army, and the dead and wounded are often the people of the Volunteer Battalion. Whether in terms of physique, strength or training, the Volunteer Battalion is a cut below the Russian army.

However, the number of volunteers in the battalion is large, and fighting on the battlefield is never one-on-one. And at the moment of life and death, there are not a few soldiers of the volunteer battalion who dare to go out.

The Xu Dongshan brigade that attacked and killed the top of the mountain completely relied on the strength of the crowd to completely crush its opponents.

"Gochoev, you coward! I really regret it......"

The boat-shaped three-cornered hat rolled down in a pool of blood, and Baramiyan lay on his back on a rock. With the stone as the fulcrum, the whole body bends at both ends. The two blood holes in his chest were gushing with blood, staining his body red......

But the other person is not dead, and he has been holding his breath.

It's just that when the sound of fighting on the hill gradually disappeared, when the shouts of the Russian army on the hill gradually subsided, Baramiyan, who had never heard the explosion of the powder keg, swallowed his last breath with a heart of cursing Gochoev.

The mountain was full of corpses intertwined with enemies and friends, and Xu Dongshan was lame, walking on the top of the mountain where the corpses were crisscrossed, his eyes gloomy. Fifty people, at least fifty of his soldiers fell on this hill. Although the Russian army has by no means killed a few.

Almost all the Russian troops on the hill were wiped out by the Volunteer Battalion, and less than 30 prisoners of war were captured, so it is conceivable that in this bayonet battle, the Russian army also shed blood. But what commander would equate the casualties of his own soldiers with the casualties of the enemy?

Xu Dongshan's eyes are now full of his own dead and wounded soldiers.

"Adult......" A dry voice sounded behind Xu Dongshan. It is Fei Yanggu, a disciple of the white flag, one of the three squadron leaders under Xu Dongshan.

"Got a result?" Xu Dongshan turned around, his heart was filled with bad premonitions. How many of the 53 missing people were captured by the Russian army during the attack of the Leshan Brigade last night? What is the situation now?

If it was good news, Feyangu's voice wouldn't be so dry.

"Last night our army was captured by a small twenty people, but..., but, all of them were killed by the Russians!"

"Who did it?"

"A captain of the Russian army, his body has been found."

Xu Dongshan's whole person is like a stone sculpture, and he doesn't move. Countless thoughts were clashing with each other in their minds, but their faces were always calm.

After a long while, the whole person's eyes froze, and he took a deep breath before he came back to life. He looked at Feyangu with blazing eyes, "Go, take care of the Russian captives for me—"

If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth. The blood debt will be paid with blood!

Although the other party is a Russian and a foreigner, there is also a wave of foreigners in Ili today, so Xu Dongshan will kill the prisoners of the Russian army now, and it will be troublesome to save it.

Although he entered the Wujin Shi examination, he entered the rule of the Balikun General Army, then the Governor of Urumqi, and finally entered the direct jurisdiction of General Yili. But Xu Dongshan also understands that the imperial court is soft to foreigners.

"The Treaty on the Survey and Demarcation of the Northwest Boundary between China and Russia", from Lake Balkhash to Jaisangbo, then a large area was ceded to the Russians, that is the clearest evidence.

Liu Xian knew about the changes in the battle situation on the southern front one step ahead of those who reported the victory on the southern front. On the virtual map, one of the two hills, representing the position of the Russian army on the southern front, has turned black as the Volunteer Battalion.

He stared intently at the changes in the line of defense of the Russian camp. As long as Chernyaev still held 500 Cossack cavalry, he had to reinforce the southern front from the camp front. That means a weak point or even a vulnerability.

It is very likely that this will be his chance to inflict a heavy blow on the Russian army.

Liu Xian immediately scattered his own troops and ordered all three positions to be solemnly waited, always paying attention to the issuance of the attack order. At the same time, a large number of horse teams are also ready to attack!

Chernyaev continued to hold on to the Cossack cavalry, choosing to draw garrisons from the northern front to fill the holes on the southern front, rather than having the Cossack cavalry dismount as infantry.

After about a company of troops was withdrawn from the Northern Front, the defensive forces of the Northern Front were more than half empty. Of course, Chernyaev was not stupid enough to just let the northern front light up, and then he transferred most of the company from the east and west to the northern front.

However, it takes time to change troops. No matter how small the Russian army's position is, it is not possible to move from east to west to the north with one step of raising its legs. Moreover, the transfer of thirty or forty men on each of the eastern and western lines also caused confusion between the two lines of defense.

The Russian army has been fighting so far, and its strength is very short. There are also not many Russian defenders on both sides. Thirty or forty people can account for 20% of the strength of the entire defense line.

Although this confusion is very slight, it will not take too long. If the enemy does not find out, the Russian army will soon be able to recover as before.

However, if the enemy finds out and takes the opportunity to attack...... The Russian army will be in big trouble.

Chernyaev had a headache, "God, my lord, has your glory been sprinkled on the Qing people?" "Why did the Qing army attack the position at such a time? A quarter of an hour earlier, a quarter of an hour later, and I will be ten times better off than I am now!

"Don't stop. Ordered them to continue to reinforce the northern front—"

The eastern and western fronts were attacked, and the troops on the northern front were hesitant. Chernyaev yelled at the guards to deliver his orders. Stupid pig-like officer. The Qing army attacked the eastern and western fronts, would they leave the northern front and not fight? "Quickly advance to the northern front. Be quick, be quick—"

"Cossacks, all mounted and ready for battle—"

The entire camp front of the Russian army was in extreme passivity because of the sudden attack of the expeditionary army. The Russian artillery, which had been out of fire for a long time before, was like crazy at this time, bombarding the front of the expeditionary army attacking on the third line. The Russian army can no longer care about the reserves of artillery shells, nothing is more important than the front.

In the face of the Russian army, which was rebounding with all its might, the attack of the expeditionary army was not resolute. This is still because of Liu Xianam, the commander. He didn't want to pay the price of countless warriors' lives for this 'victory' that would sooner or later be in his pocket!

So he 'softened'.

After getting the first cheap, you will receive it when you see it. The expeditionary army, which had been attacking on all fronts one moment, had all retracted into the trenches the next.

Liu Xian's eyes continued to stare at the southern front. After capturing the mountain, Xu Dongshan continued to command the troops to reverse another hill to surround the Russian army on the mountain, and Le Shan commanded the troops to stride towards the final goal without hesitation.

The result, of course, was that the Russian army was not surrounded, and Gochoyev had already led his team to 'turn' behind him before the opposite hill had been conquered. Leshan only occupies one of the three targets, not the middle one.

However, the time is less than two days, and there is still more than a day before Liu Xian's time limit, and one of the three target heights is already in the hands of the Volunteer Battalion, so will it be difficult for Xu Dongshan and Leshan to complete the final combat goal?

Liu Xian believed that they would capture the Three Highlands. In this way, as long as the water source of the Russian army is cut off, the expeditionary army will be victorious and undefeated. There aren't too many casualties yet! R1152
