Chapter 51: Who is the Prey?

Slowing down half a beat on the battlefield is enough to decide the outcome of a war, and if Zaitao is still too late to withdraw from the battle, at least he can safely return to Fengtian City with the rest of his troops. It's a pity that it's not only the generals and soldiers of the Qing army who lack actual combat experience, but even Zaitao, a guy who has drunk foreign ink, has not fought a few real wars.

The cannonballs flying on both sides had already made Zaitao passionate, and the blood of the fallen soldiers on the battlefield made this Manchu prince excitedly enthusiastic! He didn't notice his unfavorable situation at all, at this time he was standing on a small hill not far from the area where the two sides were fighting, brandishing the command knife in his hand and running back and forth, if it wasn't for his own soldiers to stop him, he himself would have rushed up to fight: "Kill!" The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, the time has come to be ashamed! Kill all these Russians for the master, the generals are mighty, and the Qing Dynasty is mighty! ”

Zaitao's passion was quite contagious, and the prestige he established on weekdays made those Qing Dynasty soldiers as crazy as him, and according to Zaitao's deployment, they launched round after round of attacks on the Russians.

The corners of Major General Stessel's mouth on the opposite side showed some smiles, insidiously ruthless. A lieutenant colonel of the Russian army next to him said at this time: "General, the Qing Dynasty people can already be defeated by us, as long as the general gives me a thousand people, I can find their flaws and defeat them!" ”

The major general put down his binoculars: "Order the troops, shrink again." ”

The lieutenant colonel could hardly believe his ears: "What did you say, General?" Shrink? ”

Stessel nodded: "Yes, lieutenant colonel, shrink immediately, we will make the Qing Dynasty people feel that we can't stand it, so that they will pounce more fiercely." ”

The lieutenant colonel could not understand the intention of the major general: "General, we can completely defeat them, I promise you that as long as you give me a thousand men, I can beat them as before!" ”

Stessel turned: "Didn't you hear my orders clearly, Lieutenant Colonel?" Shrink! ”

Of course, Stessel knew that it was not difficult to defeat this Qing army at this time, but he saw a little further than the lieutenant colonel. He defeated this Qing army, and after they fled back to Fengtian City, they would still be defending, and they would have to face a tough battle.

There is only one reason for his contraction, he saw Zaitao, and he saw this Qing prince! This is too tempting for Stessel, he is very clear about Daqing's physique, once he catches Zaitao, the battle is over! The Qing soldiers next to them will come to rescue people frantically, and if they can't save them, they won't dare to go back to Fengtian at all, because they will be killed by the Qing Dynasty government if they go back.

Also, as long as he escorts Zaitao to the city of Mukden and points the muzzle at Zaitao's head, the defenders of Mukden will obediently open the city gate!

He wants to capture Zaitao, to capture this prey that can make him return with a full load.

Zaitao was bewildered by Stessel's feign, and when he saw the Russians retreating again, his passion skyrocketed in an instant, and this passion also infected the Qing soldiers around him. He saw that the sky was a little dark, and pointed the command knife in his hand forward: "Zhao Yansun, rush up to the master!" Hold down the old hairy man and don't let them run away! ”

Zhao Yansun is now in charge, and he has been blocking Zaitao with more than 5,000 people under his command to ensure the safety of this prince. You must know that if you win this battle, the brothers will inevitably be rewarded for their merits, but if Zaitao is killed by others, no matter how much credit they have, they will not be able to keep them, not to mention their heads, at least the future is gone.

Now hearing Zaitao let him rush up, Zhao Erxun is really unwilling: "Master, let's be steady, it's getting dark this day, let's look at Lao Maozi tonight, and then fight tomorrow, right?" ”

Zaitao went up and kicked him: "You still dare to command the master!" If you want to get on, you can get on, and give me another rush while it's still bright! I can't guarantee that the old man can't stand it! ”…,

Zaitao believed that as long as he used a little more strength, he might be able to defeat these Russians.

Zhao Yansun didn't dare to say anything more, and rushed forward with the troops. The Qing army rushed very bravely, although the Russians' artillery fire fell to the side, from time to time there were brothers who fell to the ground, and the flames spit out by the Russians' heavy machine guns on the opposite side caused them to suffer great casualties, but Zaitao's artillery fire was also bombarding the Russians, and they rushed towards the Russians all the way with shouts, which felt really good.

The entire battlefield was shrouded in smoke, and the smell of gunpowder and blood irritated everyone's nostrils and made them all crazy. Zhao Yansun led his brothers all the way forward, until they were more than fifty meters in front of the Russians' position, and they could no longer rush, and the two sides began to shoot at close range.

Night slowly fell in the fierce exchange of fire between the two sides, Zaitao was ready to temporarily stop the attack when Zhao Yansun attacked, and the other troops were all resting, building fortifications around the Russians to prevent these old men from running away, and wait for tomorrow dawn to fight.

Seeing that Zhao Yansun couldn't fight, Zaitao was not much disappointed, after all, he still knew that the Russians were strong, and he was very satisfied with the current battle situation, and it was impossible to clean up these old hairs in one face. Let's fight again tomorrow.

He put down his binoculars, and put away the command knife that he had waved passionately for a long time: "Herald!" Let Lord Zhao come back, that's all for today, and continue to fight tomorrow! ”

This order was really a relief for Zhao Yansun on the front line, he had already been burned out, his brothers had already lost four or five hundred, and maybe it would be his turn to fight if he continued to fight. So he didn't stop at all, and he didn't care about the brothers who were wounded and killed in this place, and these brothers had a special corpse collection team to collect them.

Zhao Yansun's hand waved: "Brothers, withdraw!" ”

The attacking Qing troops slowly retreated, not bad, they were much stronger than before, and they knew that they had to maintain a formation when retreating to prevent the Russians from chasing them. But what neither Zhao Yansun nor Zaitao expected, just when Zaitao's order was just issued, the Russian army's loud trumpet suddenly sounded on the position of the Russians who had been bending their necks to fight them!

Zhao Yansun's face immediately changed, and before he could figure out whether he should continue to retreat or resist on the spot, he saw seven or eight thousand old Maozi rushing down from the position and rushing straight to Zhao Yansun, a team that was ready to withdraw from the battle!

"Ulla!"

When the Russians were fierce one by one, Zhao Yansun didn't have time to react at all, a tall Russian soldier had already rushed in front of him, and the bayonet in his hand flashed with cold light and rushed to Zhao Yansun's chest!

Zaitao's face also changed color, and he was a little sluggish, and then shouted loudly: "Quick! Get the big guys ready for battle! Order, let Zhao Yansun resist me, and both sides hurry up to support! Hurry up! ”

The Qing troops on both sides were setting up camp and preparing to rest at this time, where could they get on so fast? Besides, Zhao Yansun can't stand it at all! It is very difficult for a Qing army to resist a Russian soldier, not to mention that now seven or eight thousand Russians are fighting Zhao Yansun's team, and with only one charge, Zhao Yansun was beaten by others and lost his formation, and even he himself was almost stabbed by Lao Maozi.

In a panic, he didn't know how to resist, and there was no way to organize resistance! They are fleeing at an astonishing rate, fleeing, not retreating.

Without much effort, the Russians rushed to the bottom of the hill where Zaitao was. In order to keep the Russians from quitting the battle, Zaitao deployed his troops a little scattered, this old Maozi moved too fast, and before the other troops could rush over, more than 2,000 people under Zaitao were surrounded by the Russians on this small hill. …,

All this came too suddenly, a few minutes ago Zaitao was still thinking about how to surround the Russians, but now there is no need to think about it, they have surrounded him.

The unrestrained enthusiasm was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and Zaitao's ruddy face turned pale in an instant.

At this time, a Russian officer walked halfway up the hill, leaned against a stone and shouted up the mountain: "Listen to the Qing Dynasty prince above, I am the captain of the Russian army, Lu Kolin, and now I issue an ultimatum to you on behalf of the Russian army, as long as you lay down your arms and surrender, the Russian army guarantees the safety of your lives!" If you resist to the end, we will not hesitate to destroy you! Give you ten minutes to think about ......"

The Qing troops on the mountain were also a little panicked at this time, their eyes were looking at Zaitao, Zaitao's chest rose and fell sharply, and after hearing the Russian's shout, he snatched the rifle of a Qing army next to him and shot at the Russian captain.

Don't say it, Zaitao's marksmanship is really accurate! At a distance of one hundred and thirty or forty meters, it was still a little dark, but his shot hit the Russian in the head, and a blood-red flower bloomed in response.

Zaitao threw the gun to the Qing army again: "Don't think about it!" Build the fortifications now! Afraid of what? There are more than 10,000 of our brothers below! Beat! If the Russians dare to come up, they will beat Ye Zhao to the death! You've got guns in your hands, too! ”

Zaitao's tone regained its height in a short period of time, the difference being that he had previously been excited, but now he was angry. Regardless of the reason for weishenme, this young prince is always so passionate on the battlefield.

Major General Stessel was clearly not ready to attack the mountain immediately, and he did not intend to attack the mountain immediately. After fighting with the Qing army until now, Stessel knew that these people still had a certain combat ability. Once his own attack was frustrated, the Qing troops next to him surrounded him, and it was himself who was annihilated in the front and rear attacks.

Therefore, he wants to look at Zaitao on the top of the mountain, and then build a fortification, those Qing troops will definitely be desperate to save Zaitao, and they will definitely desperately attack their own defense line. Let them rush, let them all die in front of the Russians' positions, and when the fighting spirit of these people is gone, Zaitao is the fish in his net.

Major General Stessel was confident.

His hand command moved, and the clerk hurriedly came over to record the general's words: "Order, Colonel Torayiv of the Southern Route Army does not need to go to Mukden, let him move closer to me at once, and support us to end the battle as soon as possible." ”

The clerk's face hesitated for a moment: "General, when the battle was fierce just now, Colonel Toralev sent a telegram, saying that they had encountered a stubborn resistance in Hongling Fort, and Yang beat the ghost's resistance. ”

Major General Stessel took a breath: "Yang's resistance to the ghosts? God, isn't this good news, didn't Weishenme tell me sooner? ”
