"Wow!" After the Mongolian cavalry's horses were hit, they fell to the ground, struggling with their hooves to get up again. However, this is completely impossible for them. After being tripped by a stumbling horse, the Mongol cavalry attacked at a halt. They could no longer move forward, and the short distance of two or three hundred meters seemed to have become a moat. The soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Chinese Army used the weapons in their hands to kill and injure the living force of these Mongolian cavalry to the greatest extent. There were constantly Mongolian cavalrymen screaming and falling to the ground, or even men and horses fell and could not get up again. The whole battlefield was very tragic, as if these Mongol cavalry had been slaughtered.

The infantry who had been charging behind the Mongol cavalry, although they were still far away. However, after seeing that the attack of those Mongol cavalry was thwarted and slaughtered by the Chinese Imperial Army, they were all stunned. Originally, they thought that with the Mongol cavalry, they could capture it and break through the defense of the Imperial Chinese Army in Runing City with ease. But now it seems that it is useless for the Mongol cavalry to go out! Even the Mongol cavalry couldn't penetrate Runing, so what could they do? Therefore, these infantry came to a complete standstill.

The Mongol cavalry was undoubtedly powerful, even compared with the world-famous Cossack cavalry, it is estimated that it is not far behind. However, at this moment, these Mongol cavalry attacking Runing were completely in a desperate situation. They were like cowardly lambs, at the mercy of the officers and men of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Army. In a short period of time. Just outside the city, a thick layer of corpses had piled up.

The Mongol cavalry fought fiercely and feared death. But, at this moment, they were also timid. Some frightened Mongol cavalry. They turned their horses around and began to run away. The role of example was endless, and when someone began to retreat, the rest of the Mongol cavalry followed suit. This made the offensive of the Mongol cavalry fail. Although the Mongol cavalry retreated, the bullets and shells of the Imperial Army were still chasing their butts. Mongol cavalry were constantly killed and wounded on the way to escape. As for the infantry who fought with the cavalry, when the Mongol cavalry fled, they immediately turned around and fled. The Mongol cavalry who were supposed to be behind the battlefield. I don't know what to do at this point. Originally, their mission was to cut down those who dared to retreat without permission. But now, among those who have retreated, there are their compatriots! There was no way, they could only let it go. This attack of the Qing army. Once again, it ended in failure. Moreover. The 13th Cavalry Division of the Qing Army, which participated in the attack, suffered heavy losses.

"Lord Wang, I'm sorry, I am incompetent, please punish mere duty!" Shanlu, the commander of the 4th Army of the Qing Army, said to Monk Lingqin with a depressed face. Originally, he thought that this attack would work, and in this way, he would be able to achieve great success. But I didn't think of it. The end result was a fiasco. Of the more than 6,000 people of the 13th Cavalry Division, less than 2,000 returned safely. Other words. Two-thirds of them were killed.

"Shanlu, it's not your fault, it's that those rebels are too despicable!" Monk Greenqin gritted his teeth and said. Originally, he was also full of hope for this attack, but who knew that it would fall short at the last critical moment? Once the Mongol cavalry attacked the city of Runing, they would inevitably be able to rush up the city wall lightly. At that time, it will not be impossible to break through the defenses of the Imperial Chinese Army in Runing.

"General Shanlu, I want to know, what did the Mongolian cavalry encounter when they attacked just now? Why did the offensive suddenly stop? "said the British adviser Major General Jeffreyson. Originally, he really thought that the Mongolian cavalry could create a miracle! But I didn't expect it to be blocked at a critical moment. It made him feel that it was a pity.

"Your Excellency, the surviving soldiers said that the rebels had planted a stumbling rope under the city of Runing. In addition, there are several barbed wire fences in front of the tripband. All these will become obstacles to the attack of our cavalry. Lieutenant General Shanlu said.

Major General Jerrison nodded, and then said to Monk Greenqin: "Your Excellency, I think, we can continue to attack. The Mongol cavalry was much more powerful in shock than the infantry. It is entirely possible to use cavalry to break through the obstacles that the Chinese army has deployed under the city of Runing. As long as we break through those obstacles, we will be able to hit the city of Runing at once. When the time comes, it is not impossible to attack Runing City. ”

Major General Jerrison's words made Monk Greenqin fall into deep thought, he naturally knew what Major General Jerrison meant, which was nothing more than asking him to fill it with his life regardless of the cost. Although the Imperial Chinese Army deployed a lot of obstacles under Runing City. However, with hard work, these obstacles can be removed. After these obstacles are removed, you can directly attack Runing City. Monk Grinqin believed that with the attack power of the Mongol cavalry, this was not impossible. However, it takes a lot of lives to fill it. If he used the life of a Han to fill it, he wouldn't blink his eyes. However, now it is the life of the Mongols to fill it, which has to be considered. The number of Mongols was not large, and this time the casualties exceeded 4,000, which already made him very distressed. If we use Major General Jerrison's method to do it, I don't know how much we will lose.

"Your Excellency, I would like to remind you that we don't have much time now. Reinforcements from the Chinese army will soon arrive. Although the 7th and 8th Cavalry Corps will arrive tomorrow. However, if we are not able to capture Runing before the arrival of Chinese reinforcements, we will be in a dangerous position to be exposed to the enemy. When the time comes, we will have no choice but to retreat. Maj. Gen. Jalison said.

Seng Lingqin was a little hesitant, and with huge casualties to destroy the enemy army entrenched in Runing, was it really cost-effective? By now, the casualties of the Qing army have exceeded 60,000. There were also several thousand elite Mongol cavalry. Even if the 7th and 8th Cavalry Corps arrived, they would not have a decisive advantage in numbers. The other 3rd and 6th Infantry Corps marched too slowly, and it was expected that it would take four or five days to arrive. By the time they arrived, I was afraid they would have lost their skills.

"Lord Wang, the 2nd Cavalry Army has sent someone to deliver the latest news." At this time, a junior officer said to Monk Lingqin.

Monk Lingqin took the letter and immediately read it. However, his face soon turned iron-blue. Both Lieutenant General Shanroku and Major General Jeffreyson realized that something seemed to be wrong with the 2nd Cavalry Army.

The 2nd Cavalry Corps was believed to be the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army that was pinning down from Nanyang to the north, as well as the 1st and 19th armies that followed by the 3rd Army. The order given to them by Monk Lingqin was to delay the actions of the Imperial Chinese Army as much as possible, and not to fight them hard. During this time, the 2nd Cavalry Corps has also been carrying out this mission. However, yesterday afternoon, the 2nd Cavalry Corps of the Qing Army was raided by more than 2,000 cavalrymen from the 3rd corps of the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army bombarded the Qing army with mortars, and then the Qing army began a retaliatory attack, but was hit by heavy machine gun and mortar fire from the Imperial Army, and suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, the Imperial Army lured the Qing army into a valley. Around the valley, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army deployed heavy forces. As soon as the Qing army entered the valley, it was hit by a devastating blow. More than 20,000 people were annihilated, and more than half of them were lost. Of the remaining 10,000 people, many of them surrendered directly to the Imperial Chinese Army. Only the remnants of a few thousand escaped. It can be said that the 2nd Cavalry Army has already suffered heavy losses. After that, the remnants of the 2nd Cavalry Corps retreated directly to Xuchang. This is tantamount to exposing the flank of Monk Grinqin to the front of the Imperial Army! After losing the cover of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, the Imperial Army launched an attack on the flank of the monk with 3 corps and more than 100,000 men.

"Bastard! How so? Monk Grinqin was furious. At this moment, the battle situation became very unfavorable for the Qing army.

When Major General Jeffrey Jeffrey learned what had happened, his face also changed drastically. The current war situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Qing army.

"Your Excellency, there is no other way for us. Either intensify the assault on Runing, or immediately retreat. Otherwise, we will soon be annihilated by the Chinese army. Unless we can take Runing first, and then crush the 2nd and 20th Chinese armies to the south. Otherwise, we will probably lose this war. Maj. Gen. Jalison said.

"Pass my order and immediately attack Runing! The 3rd Cavalry Corps, the 4th Cavalry Corps and the 5th Cavalry Corps took turns sending troops to attack the city. Anyone who fails to fight will be severely punished! Monk Grinqin said. The criticality of the situation made him determined.

"Yes, Lord Wang!" Lieutenant General Shanlu and other generals received orders one after another.

Subsequently, the cavalry of the Qing army began to cooperate with the infantry, and launched a fierce attack on the city of Runing, as if they did not skimp on their lives at all, even if each attack would come at the cost of heavy casualties, and then be routed by the imperial army. However, it was as if they did not know to be afraid.

Major General Zhao Mingfu, commander of the 5th Army of the Imperial Army, also knew that the Qing army was preparing to fight hard. Trying to eat the 5th Army before reinforcements from the Imperial Army arrive. However, the Qing army was simply wishful thinking. The Imperial Army's defense at Runing was not impregnable. But if the Qing army wants to break through, it is not so easy.

From the afternoon of October 27, the battle in Runing entered a high-tide stage. However, no matter how much the Qing army put into the attack, it was finally beaten back. (To be continued......)
