"After crossing the river, there is Bhaktapur Castle in front of you."

www.cmfu.com announced that Cheng Fengxiang, the staff officer of the First Army of the Gurkha Expeditionary Force, was stationed on the horse and raised his whip.

www.cmfu.com In front of him was a clear stream of water formed by melting mountain snow and ice, and the banks and water were covered with large and small gray and white stones, and the water hit the stones, revealing layers of snow foam.

On the opposite side of the www.cmfu.com River, on the south bank, two *-shaped hills stand side by side, with a few small forests growing like leprosy in addition to yellow-green grass, and between the two mountains is a U-shaped gorge, through which the road leading to Bhaktapur runs through the valley.

www.cmfu.com near the riverbank, it is evident that a ferry had been built, but at this time only a few wooden stakes remained, and there was not a single boat and a half raft on the river.

General Zhao Erfeng, commander of the First Army of the www.cmfu.com Gurkha Expeditionary Force, raised his whip and raised his eyes, observed from the telescope for a while, his gray beard turned to the side, and sneered: "Sure enough, a lot of trenches have been dug, but they are still decent, Staff Officer Cheng, please invite the head of Bakasum to come and speak." ”

After www.cmfu.com announced that it was originally from the battle of Khodari, the hearts of the Gurkha people fluctuated, and there were constantly local leaders, princes and nobles who brought troops to defect to Prince Diabia, and a Hindu monk who escaped from the palace publicly announced that Prince Diabia was the incarnation of the real Vishnu god and the real heir to the throne. Within a few days, the prince has gathered more than a dozen nobles, four or five thousand people, and since then he has been alive, wearing a golden crown and wearing a jewel, as if the god Vishnu has descended to earth, and his mouth is no longer blessed by the Buddha, but Zhao Erfeng is uneasy, always on guard, saying that he will not let the Gurkha army who defected to him mix into the camp of the army.

The head of Bakasum, who www.cmfu.com mentioned here, came over with three hundred men and horses only yesterday, and when he saw Prince Diabia, he burst into tears, and expressed his desire to avenge the late King Barisvi for the royal favor he had received for generations.

A short time after the release of the www.cmfu.com, a sassy man wearing a white hat and a red scarf around his waist rode his horse and rushed to it, it was Bakasum, and he saw his left hand touching his chest and saluting: "The commander is looking for me?" ”

www.cmfu.com released the translation between the translators, and Zhao Erfeng asked: "You once said that your territory is near Bhaktapur, so you should be familiar with this area." ”

www.cmfu.com posting" Yes, I'm as familiar with this place as my yard. ”

www.cmfu.com release" So may I ask, apart from here, is there any other place where the army can pass smoothly? ”

www.cmfu.com issued "Within a hundred miles around, only here can pass the army, and the road to the royal capital from here is the best to walk."

www.cmfu.com release" got it, so we can only break through here. ”

www.cmfu.com Release" is so. ”

Zhao Erfeng, the www.cmfu.com release, was heartbroken, and said: "This ferry crossing is so urgent, the rebels will inevitably send heavy troops to guard it, but I don't know what the details are, I want to send someone to detective detective, but my subordinates don't know anything about this place......"

www.cmfu.com posted, "Don't send me. Bakasum shouted loudly, fearing that the interpreter would not be able to hear him.

www.cmfu.com released "This mission is too dangerous, the head man doesn't have to be too reluctant to ......"

www.cmfu.com posted "My grandfather was a warrior who hacked to death the head of the British in Bilgeny, and my father was a man who died in the battle of Hadoda, he had twelve bullet holes in his body and was stabbed twenty-one with bayonets...... It's British! The British killed them! My life is used to fight the British and their lackeys! In order to prevent His Majesty King Barisvi from forming an alliance with His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, Girishara, the lackey of the British, had the audacity to murder the king, the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and blasphemed the gods. Therefore, whether it is for personal revenge or to comply with the heavenly punishment of the gods, this time you must do your best! ”

www.cmfu.com Zhao Erfeng couldn't wait for him to say this, so he pushed the boat along the way, spit out some kind words, and coaxed the hot-blooded head of Bakasum to lead the people of the headquarters and cross the river detective.

Cheng Fengxiang was still not at ease when www.cmfu.com released: "My lord, is it okay to let them go over like this?" Do you want to send someone to follow behind? ”

www.cmfu.com Zhao Erfeng's old face was horizontal: "Nonsense, do you still need me to say this?" ”

At the moment of the www.cmfu.com release, the whole army was in position, the left flank was about 2,000 people of the First Brigade of the Diabia Royal Guard led by the Balam head, the right flank was about 2,500 people of the rebel coalition army led by the head of Mubarang, and the Chinese army was the main force of the First Army Corps of the Expeditionary Force led by Zhao Erfeng with 4,000 people, and about 1,600 officers and soldiers of the First Army Corps had been sent to defend the rear road earlier.

After the www.cmfu.com was released, General Zhao invited Prince Diabia to a high slope on the bank to witness the detectives of the Bakasum Department crossing the river.

www.cmfu.com released a horse to see Bakasum entering the water from a sandy beach with less gravel on the shore, wading across the river, and the three hundred private soldiers behind him held high a blue-edged, red-ground, triangular white star and moon king flag, carrying muskets and scimitars on their backs.

www.cmfu.com Suddenly, a few clouds of white smoke burst out of the hill on the left side of the opposite bank, and the cannonballs whistled into the water and the shore, and suddenly the mud stars and mist flew all over the sky, and several soldiers were immediately swept down by shrapnel flying stones, and blood stained the beachhead water.

Seeing this, Zhao Erfeng ordered Zhao Erfeng to order: "Order our artillery to open fire and cover the crossing of the river by the vanguard of our army."www.cmfu.com ”

www.cmfu.com Prince Diabia worried: "The new army trained by the British is in the hands of the Rana family, as far as I know, their guns are not under the army of the Celestial Empire, so it would be too risky to let Bakasum cross the river alone......"

www.cmfu.com posted, "Bakasum took the initiative to ask to take the lead for you, please understand and cherish his loyalty." ”

www.cmfu.com announced that as the artillery shells of the expeditionary force fell on the opponent's artillery positions like hail, the Bakasum division successfully crossed the small river, immediately divided into several columns, and slaughtered the hills on the left and right of the canyon.

www.cmfu.com release was like a hornet's nest, on the originally calm grassy slopes and woods, the Lana family's blue-edged, red-ground and day-white pennants were erected everywhere, and the new Gurkha troops wearing wide-brimmed hats and British military uniforms leaned out of the trenches or woods and opened heavy fire with Enfield rifles and Makqin machine guns.

www.cmfu.com Prince Diabia was in a hurry, and called out repeatedly: "General Zhao, look, look at ......"

www.cmfu.com Zhao Erfeng didn't care: "Prince, I saw them, they finally came out." ”

www.cmfu.com issued a sharp order: "Order the artillery, concentrate all your firepower on the exposed enemy infantry positions." Order the first and second teams of the Legion to immediately advance and cross the river! The first team, the hill on the left side of the target canyon, and the second team, the hill on the right side of the target canyon. ”

www.cmfu.com Prince Xuan was surprised: "Launch a general attack now?" ”

www.cmfu.com will not wait for me, please give an order to the royal army on the left and right flanks at once, ordering them to cross the river with their whole army, the left flank to attack the hill on the left side of the gorge, and the right flank to attack the hill on the right side of the gorge, and be sure to work together to drive the enemy down the mountain. ”

www.cmfu.com release prince was so excited that his hands trembled: "Yes...... I didn't expect this to start, great, I ordered it right away......"

www.cmfu.com only listened to the sound of forty or fifty artillery pieces of the expeditionary force (six mountain guns each for the fifth and seventh and seventh five, fifteen mortars for eighty mortars, and eighteen mortars for six zeros) fired in succession, and the bullets on the south bank rained down, and the sound of killing on the north bank was everywhere, first the two companies of the cavalry of the first and second teams of the first army of the expeditionary force took the lead in crossing the river, but they did not immediately charge up the mountain, each put down their mounts, each company formed a half circle, and set up a starting machine gun on the horse, as if a fortress composed of two horsemeat walls. to cover the subsequent infantry crossing the river and the retreat of the remnants of the Bakasum division.

www.cmfu.com the signal was issued to launch the assault of the vanguard cavalry of the expeditionary force, the men and horses on the north shore appeared from their shelters, and the whole team walked down the not very gentle bank slope, during which the red land golden dragon battle flag and the red ground white star and moon flag fluttered against the south wind from the Indian Ocean, and the snow bayonets and sabers seemed to flash with the light of the snowy region of the holy mountain - behind them, the Hindu monks and Tibetan Buddhist lamas were chanting blessed scriptures. From time to time one or two shells hit the untidy ranks, but they did not cause much confusion, because everyone could see that every time one or two shells came from the other side, they would be returned ten or twenty times as much by their own artillery.

www.cmfu.com Corresponding to this announcement, a large force of cavalry with red ground and white sun flags suddenly appeared on the hill on the south bank, and without waiting for the artillery on the opposite bank to react, they immediately drew their swords and rushed straight down the mountain, directly taking the two cavalry companies of the expeditionary force that existed as bridgeheads. The cavalry of the expeditionary force who dismounted hid behind the bunker of horse meat and fired calmly, and the 12 Makqin heavy machine guns of the support unit of the expeditionary force on the north bank also sprayed a dense rain of bullets, and the cavalry of the Lana army fell on their backs in less than five minutes, and in less than five minutes, nearly 300 cavalry of the Lana army fell in front of the "horse meat fortress", and only one officer of the Lana army jumped over the "meat wall" on horseback, and was shot to death after slashing two dismounted Tibetan cavalrymen.

www.cmfu.com had just repelled the onslaught of the cavalry of the Lana Army, and before the infantry of the Kuo Army could follow up the onslaught, the infantry units of the First Expeditionary Force had already been killed.

www.cmfu.com announced that more than 700 officers and men of the first team of the first corps of the expeditionary force led by Ren Tianmin, the main force of the 2nd Infantry Battalion of the Tibet Garrison, went into battle lightly, held high the rifles with bayonets and 50 bullet bags in both hands, waded through the waist-deep turbulent river, quickly rushed to the opposite bank, immediately surpassed the "horse meat fortress", faced the new Gurkha army that was densely descending the slope, and launched an attack on the hill on the left side of the canyon! At the same time, the cavalry that formed the "horse meat fortress" once again stepped on their horses (of course, they had to temporarily abandon their stray bullet-wounded horses) and charged out from the flanks of the infantry, mercilessly trampling and slashing the Rana infantry exposed in the trenches and woods. Faced with an unfavorable situation, the new Gurkha army disregarded the losses, stubbornly resisted the onslaught of the cavalry with rifles, bayonets and scimitars, and after several battles, the cavalry of the expeditionary force suddenly dispersed to both sides, and before the Gurkha soldiers in a scattered formation could wake up, the 2nd Battalion of the garrison, which was lined up in a dense horizontal formation, pressed up like a wall, and the bayonets neatly arranged like a forest instantly knocked down dozens of people in the front - including a standard-bearer. However, the 2nd Battalion soon fell into a stalemate in hand-to-hand combat, and the infantry of the Lana Army, who quickly recovered from the initial shock, relied on the temporary superiority in strength to fight the garrison in Sichuan without fear, and the Gurkha's characteristic short scimitar seemed to have a special advantage against the bayonets mounted on the bulky rifles, and within a few minutes, dozens of heads of the officers and men of the 2nd Battalion detached from the body with a large amount of blood sprayed in the form of ceremonial flowers......
