Chapter 121: Half-Crossing Attack
Ropatkin was very surprised that Zeng Qi suddenly expressed his objections, and after being stunned for a moment, he said, "General Zeng Qi, what did you say?" Don't you know that those bandits have gone to attack Liaoyang now? ”
Zeng Qi thought at this time that the food and gold in his family might not be guaranteed, where was the respect for Lord Yang in his heart?
"The day before yesterday, when Fengtian was besieged, I asked you to hurry up, you weishenme said it's okay?"
Ropatkin was a little annoyed, and when he was about to get angry, General Akberlil pulled him and whispered: "Your Excellency, Commander, now the troops really need to rest, so be it, you give me two thousand, I will take it first, and the rest will stay here and set off tomorrow morning." ”
The flashing lights of the reporters were already capturing the angry expression on Ropatkin's face, and after hearing what Ackberyl had said, Ropatkin suppressed the anger in his heart: "Well, for the sake of the unity of the coalition forces, we will rest here today for the night." ”
General Zeng Qi didn't care about anything else, and strode towards his house, and the Qing army and Russian soldiers outside began to look for a suitable place where they could rest at night.
The reporters were treated very well, and a team of Russian soldiers specially vacated a large mansion in Mukden City for them to live in. When Elena and Mark entered the house, the Russians were forcing the original owner of the house to leave at gunpoint.
These things have become commonplace for journalists, and they have not shown the ethics required by the profession of journalists to report on the inhumane side of the Russian military. For these foreign journalists, they know that their task is to act as a throat, and the voice they want to shout is about Yang beating ghosts, which is what countries care about, and it is also the most selling thing in Chinese newspapers at present.
As for these Qing Dynasty people being bullied, everyone has become accustomed to it, and it will be a joke to use it as news.
Elena walked into her room, and Mark kissed her on the forehead: "Good night, I'm next door, you can call me if there's anything." ”
He was about to turn around, but Elena grabbed him, and those two sapphire eyes looked at Mark affectionately.
In Yang Xiaolin's breakout battle, Mark turned back to save Elena, which made the relationship between the two of them heat up sharply in this period, and Mark certainly understood what Elena meant by holding him.
"Of course, I'd love to come over if there's nothing to do."
Mark also came in from the outside, the two of them closed the door, and Elena was about to greet Mark with a hot kiss, when she suddenly heard a chaotic sound outside, and a Qing army officer was shouting: "Hurry up!" Let's go! ”
"What's going on?"
Mark's eyes widened immediately: "I don't know!" I think we should check it out! ”
Not only did these reporters not know, but even the Russians didn't know what was going on, and when Commander Ropatkin rushed to Zeng Qi, he saw that the Qing army's team had been assembled, and Zeng Qi's face was iron-blue!
"General Zeng Qi, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you had a night's rest? ”
"Rest a fart! Lao Tzu is going to skin Yang alive and fight ghosts! Let's go!! ”
Ropatkin was surprised, he didn't know what made this Qing Dynasty general, who had always been very self-contained, so hysterical, that all the foul words came out. He wanted to stop Zeng Qi, because Ropatkin knew that for a soldier, generals had to do what they ordered. Just now he said that he was going to rest, and now he is about to set off again, which is a serious blow to the army's sense of battle.
But before he could speak, Zeng Qi said to his soldiers: "Whoever brings Yang Da Ghost to me for me, whether he lives or dies, will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!" Promoted to three levels! Also, Yang Du's that he has under his command, catch the same and see the reward! Let's go! ”…,
Zeng Qi really doesn't care about the face of the Russians, when his own face can't be saved, the face of the foreign adults will lean on the side first!
This time the pursuit Zeng Qi changed his previous style, he usually was in Zuihou to press the formation, he rushed to the front with his own personal army, and really made the Qing army's marching speed speed up a lot in an instant, less than two hours, when the sky was dark, he chased after General Akberlil, who took the first step, and then overtook Akberlir and continued to chase forward!
It wasn't until the evening that his own soldiers really didn't dare to march in this night, so they risked their lives to stop Zeng Qi's horse's head to stop him.
Akberlier was out of breath after him, and it wasn't until Zeng Qi stopped that he gathered his troops, and when he saw Commander Ropatkin following behind, he immediately asked, "Your Excellency, what's wrong with this Chinese general?" ”
Ropatkin shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know, he went home, and then rushed out like a madman, saying that he must kill Yang and fight ghosts, looking at him like that, he must be desperate for Yang to fight ghosts." ”
Akberlir looked at Zeng Qi's figure and said with infinite sympathy: "It must be his dearest person who was killed by Yang Dagui, poor general, I can understand him." ”
Ropatkin smiled: "No matter what, it's a good thing for us that he is willing to fight ghosts with Yang, these Chinese can't work all the way, and now Yang fights ghosts' knives on them they know it hurts!" Akberlil, let's keep them down, I'm sure they'll be qualified cannon fodder from today onwards. ”
Akberil nodded: "I know what to do, Your Excellency Commander, please rest assured." ”
Ropatkin said: "I have always been very comfortable with you on the battlefield. Okay, I'm going to rest now, if Zeng Qi wants to leave, call me up immediately, I definitely won't have to wait for him like him. ”
At night, you really can't go anymore, although the Liaoyang area is located between Liaodong and the Liaohe Plain, the terrain is not so dangerous than Changbai Mountain, but it is also a large number of mountains and rivers. If the bandits want to ambush, there are many places for Yang Xiaolin to choose.
Zeng Qi rested for a night with an angry mood, and the next morning it was more than five o'clock, and as soon as a red glow rose in the sky, he urged the team to set off quickly.
At eight o'clock in the morning, they rushed to the edge of the Taizi River. The Taizi River is a relatively large inland river in Liaoyang, and the river water flows directly into the Bohai Sea, so it is more turbulent than other rivers.
Zeng Qi saw the traces of the bandits by the river, and there was a simple pontoon bridge on the river that had not been completely dismantled, and on the other side of the river, the extremely messy weeds that had been trampled showed that the bandits had just come over for a short time.
Zeng Qi waved his hand: "Cross the river!" Catch up with me! ”
The Qing soldiers immediately began to build a pontoon bridge, and Akberil walked up at this time: "General, first of all, please believe me, I am in the same mood as you now, Yang Da Ghost, that beast has caused us too much damage, and I want to kill him immediately as much as you do." ”
Zeng Qi's face became very ugly: "What? Even you Russians know about it? ”
Akberil bowed to him: "General, please don't grieve, this will not help us to exterminate that bandit." That bandit is very cunning, the river is very fast, if you want to cross the river rashly, it is easy for them to blow up the pontoon bridge, and then give you a half-cross attack! This is your classical tactic, I think you should be aware of it. ”
Zeng Qi's mouth twitched twice: "Then what do you say to do?" Isn't it okay to go over? ”
Akberil shook his head: "You must catch up, many of the weeds that fell to the ground on the other side have not yet risen, and they haven't walked long." However, I think we should be prepared to fight when we cross the river, not in the reckless past like you. ”…,
Half-crossing, this tactic is really too old, Zeng Qi thought for a while and didn't speak, the erection of the pontoon bridge is still in progress.
General Akberlir puffed up his chest: "General, leave the task of crossing the river to me to command, I don't think I will waste your time." ”
Now their troops totaled more than 40,000 people, including 32,000 from the Qing Dynasty and 8,000 from the Russians. At the same time, there were two pursuers, and the farthest distance was only twenty miles. Akberlier believes that as long as he doesn't give the other party a chance to attack halfway, Yang Xiaolin has no choice.
Of course, probably he has run away by now.
Zeng Qi finally nodded, and Akberil began to command the 40,000 horses to cross the Taizi River. First through a small group of Qing soldiers, then through a small group of Russian soldiers, these two groups of soldiers passed and then held the bridgehead, and then the most combat-ready Russian troops quickly passed!
When the Russians had finished crossing, a cordon was set up on the other side of the Prince River, and everything was safe.
Ropatkin stood beside Akberil: "Akberyl, when will you also learn to act?" ”
Akberil was a little annoyed: "Your Excellency, Commander! I'm fighting! Everything I did was to ensure the safety of our troops, and we can't give that Yang any more victories, otherwise it will mean the defeat of our military operation this time! That would be a shame to me, a shame to you! A disgrace to our entire Russian army? ”
Ropatkin smiled: "I don't mean to blame you, on the contrary, if you really know how to put on a show, I will be happy for you." ”
Ackberil shook his head, he really didn't have anything to say to Ropatkin, Ropatkin smiled very proudly, that expression obviously thought that Akmberil was performing: "Half-crossed? That's a good reason, but I don't believe the bandits have the guts. ”
As soon as his words fell, suddenly the Qing troops who were crossing the river let out a panicked shout, and Commander Ropatkin looked back and saw two burning wooden beds on the water surface of the Taizi River rushing straight down from upstream!
The first pontoon bridge built by the Qing army was knocked down, and the Qing army on the bridge fell into the river like dumplings! The castration of the two fireships did not decrease in the slightest, and the second pontoon bridge collapsed! Commander Ropatkin hurriedly threw away the cigar in his hand: "Akberil! You're right, get ready for battle! ”
But General Akberlier was stunned at this time, and he turned his head mechanically: "General, we have 20,000 Qing troops and 8,000 Russian soldiers around us, do you think Yang Dagui dares to come to fight us?" ”
Before Ropatkin could understand it, he only heard a few cannon shots, and the shells fell directly on the heads of the more than 10,000 Qing troops who were still left there and had not crossed the river! Those Qing troops were suddenly in a mess!
Yang hit the ghost halfway through! (Ask for a recommendation ticket!) )
