Just when Li Jiekun was confused, Dolgala took Maimaiti, the village chief of Huerdong Village, and came to him panting.

Li Jiekun was stunned! Hurriedly asked, "Uncle Maimaiti!" Didn't I tell you to move to Halmodun and prepare to enter the mountain? How did you get here? ”

Maimaiti waved his hand, gasped and said, "The old, the young, and the women have all shifted. I'll bring a strong man who can go into battle to help you kill the enemy! ”

Li Jiekun was shocked! Eagerly said, "Hey! How's that going to work? This is a blocking position, try to kill and wound the enemy, slow down their pace, but it is impossible to hold on for a long time. It's very dangerous here! ……”

Maimaiti's eyes widened! Clapping his chest, he shouted, "Hey! You kid thinks I'm old and useless, don't you? Just our body, very tough! That's why we're here because it's dangerous...... When the time comes, if you really can't do it, even if you retreat deep into the mountains of Hora Mountain, I can also lead you the way. All right! Don't talk about that. Now I ask you, what's the best way to deal with wolves? ”

Li Jiekun was stunned! didn't react, but after thinking about it again, he realized, "That must be fire!" ”

Maimaiti stabbed Li Jie Kundu in the chest, stabbed him violently, and said loudly: "Yes! Fire can deal with wolves! …… I'm just sending you fire! ”

Before Li Jiekun could understand it, Dorgala hurriedly explained: "Uncle Maimaiti, they brought dozens of barrels of clear oil, and they also brought a lot of fire ropes!" ”

Li Jiekun instantly understood, a little moved, but also felt a little pity, "It's not easy to accumulate these clear oils, and it would be a pity to use them to deal with these Kokand thieves!" ……”

Maimaiti waved his hand and said, "What's the use of leaving more good things behind if you don't drive the wolves away?" Today, we don't need to go to Zhuge Liang to borrow the east wind, just have a 'fire to burn the red cliff'. Let the dog stuff Agubai's soldiers, there is no return! No more verbose! Hurry up and let them carry the clear oil and fire rope to the top of the cliff......"

It's all about to stop. Batel and Zhao Tiefeng, who kept an appropriate distance from the enemy's pursuers, quickly rushed through the passage below the cliff with their team. At the same time, Battle sent a warning signal to Li Jiekundu on the top of the cliff......

A large group of enemy cavalry followed. When the enemy's vanguard cavalry was about to rush past half of the men, Li Jiekun blew the first loud whistle......

The rolling stones on the top of the cliff poured down wildly, and the round pebbles roared and rushed towards the enemy team, killing and wounding hundreds of cavalry in the center of the enemy team in an instant. Many of these stones are still wrapped with fireropes soaked in clear oil.

The vanguard cavalry of the enemy army was suddenly cut in two. The two or three hundred enemy cavalry who rushed to the front immediately stopped their advance when they found that they were being attacked behind them...... When he was panicking, he was shot down by a rain of arrows flying from the top of the cliff, and then he was attacked by a flurry of gunfire......

Battle and Zhao Tiefeng led the team to "return to the gun" for the third time, quickly turned around, and rushed towards the frightened enemy front team...... After a while, they went on a rampage and completely wiped out the part of the enemy vanguard cavalry that rushed ahead!

The enemy pursuers were stunned by this fierce blow! Quickly stop and gather the team...... When the rear cavalry came up, they immediately regrouped and continued to pursue. and detached a part of the troops, fired back at the blocking position in the direction of the cliff top, and suppressed the fire; But there was no one in sight, so I could only shoot indiscriminately......

When the second wave of the enemy's cavalry team appeared in a dense formation again on the passage below the cliff, Li Jiekun blew the second whistle! Hundreds of archers, along with hundreds of herdsmen and lamas, stood up and fired arrows.

The second wave of the enemy's cavalry was again brought down by a dense rain of arrows from the mountains......

The pursuing enemy cavalry, after all, there are thousands of men and horses in front and behind, and they have received an order to pursue Jinhua Hatun at any cost, which cannot be changed! Therefore, this second wave of enemy cavalry did not stop when they were ambushed again, and they just rushed forward desperately......

When the third wave of enemy cavalry that followed closely behind was also preparing to pass through the passage under the cliff in a dense formation, the front and rear ends of the cliff top suddenly shone with firelight...... Then, pebbles the size of watermelons, wrapped around the lit fire rope, poured down from the front and back ends of the cliff like countless "fireballs......

The "fireball" at the rear end of the cliff top smashed the second wave of enemy troops and burned them a lot, and divided these enemy troops into two sections; The "fireball" at the tip of the cliff crested the third wave of enemy fronts, blocking the advance of these cavalry, and also blocking the retreat of the second wave of enemy troops trapped between the two "walls of fire".

The fire ropes that had been wrapped around the stones that had fallen earlier had all been quickly ignited.

The second wave of the enemy's rear team was blocked by the fire at both ends in a narrow area more than 100 meters long, unable to advance or retreat; The rain of rolling rocks and arrows on the top of the cliff is still coming...... For a while, the wailing of the war horses and the screams of the enemy resounded! The enemy suffered numerous casualties.

Battle and Zhao Tiefeng led the team, and after turning back and killing the first wave of enemy cavalry, they were retreating...... I suddenly found that under the cliff behind me, the flames were soaring, and I was taken aback!

This "burning red cliff" blocking action was not arranged in advance; This must be Li Jiekun's ingenuity and temporarily added this "new show".

As soon as they saw this scene, the two instantly felt that this was another unexpected and rare fighter! Then he led the men and horses to kill again...... This is already the fourth "return to the carbine".

This second wave of enemy troops rushed over the cliff with more than 200 horses. They were suddenly shocked to see the fire and gunfire in the passage behind them! Stopped in an instant. Just when this group of enemy soldiers was frightened and hesitated, Battle and Zhao Tiefeng quickly killed with the broken team. The enemy ranks were instantly thrown into disarray, and most of them were annihilated as they fled in all directions......

Those enemy troops who were responsible for fire suppression could not see the figure on the top of the cliff from the bottom of the mountain, and could only shoot indiscriminately at the mountain, which had no effect; But the fire under the mountain illuminated their figures clearly. These enemy troops were also knocked down by arrows and bullets on the mountain.

Every group of enemy troops who hurried through the passage under the cliff and cliff had suffered some damage, especially the first three waves of enemy cavalry, all of which lost more than half......

Dawn. On the high slopes of the Seven Star Pass of Hora Mountain, Jinhua Hatun, who was riding on a war horse, was fully armed and majestic! On both sides are Sanji Meiren, Bayin Chaolu, Mucheng Lama, Gulu Zabu, the leader of the middle banner of the Turhut tribe, Manji Dorji, the leader of the right banner, and Erdeni, the leader of the left banner.

The leaders led the main force of the territorial Erhut cavalry and waited for the battle! Prepare to duel the invading Agubo invaders and British mercenaries here!

Sanji Meiren held a telescope and looked at the distance on the side of the mountain.

Suddenly, dark clouds slowly poured in and the sky darkened...... Thunder and lightning began to thunder and lightning, and torrential rain hit. Jinhua Hadun was calm and calm, looking at the direction of the cliff of the Seven Star Buddha Temple......

Suddenly, the cavalry team led by Battle and Zhao Tiefeng appeared in the field of vision of the telescope and was rapidly retreating along the mountain side passage...... Many cavalrymen turned around and shot arrows, and many enemy soldiers fell from their horses with arrows...... The enemy cavalry was still in hot pursuit.

Battell, commanding a dozen cavalrymen, took out the last batch of "thistles" and threw them to the rear...... The enemy cavalry was put down by the thistle terrestris, but continued to pursue regardless of life or death......

The heavy rain has just stopped. Observing the enemy's situation, Sanji Meiren put down the telescope in his hand and reported to Jinhua Hatun:

"Battle and General Zhao are back, and there is a large group of chasing soldiers behind."

Lama Mucheng stepped forward and said to Jinhua Hatun, "Hatun, it's too dangerous here!" I would like to ask you to go back to the camp first, and I and the leaders will meet Battle and General Zhao here. Thank you for your permission! ”

Jinhua Hadun waved his hand violently and said solemnly: "Don't say it again!" Behind us are the homes left to us by our ancestors and the unarmed fathers and villagers. Where else can we retreat? Since neither the Kokand nor the English will let us go, we will never speak to the robbers again. Now, let these thieves know the blood nature of our Turks! …… If it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, the wolf will not have a long memory. The Big Buddha Temple is right in front of us, let the Buddha witness our determination to protect the family and the country! …… Get ready for battle! ”

All the soldiers responded in unison: "Yes!" At the same time, he drew his sword.

Guruzab shouted: "Warriors! Ahead is the wolves that have broken into our home! Their iron hooves are trampling our steppes; Their mouths are still stained with the blood of the villagers! Today, we must cut off their heads to pay tribute to the souls of the suffering villagers! …… Kill me! ”

He raised his command knife and led a large group of cavalry to rush out with shouts.

Manji Dorji also raised his command knife and shouted: "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" Kill! ——”

He also led a large group of cavalry to rush down the hillside......

On the main battlefield of the seven star passes of Hora Mountain, the overwhelming brigade of cavalry rushed down the hillside and rushed head-on towards the enemy's brigade of cavalry......

Battle and Zhao Tiefeng led the cavalry team, got out of the way, and in the rapid march, they made a big turn to the right rear, and once again came a "horse return gun", and rushed towards the flank of the pursuing enemy cavalry team......

The enemy cavalry ranks were instantly disorganized...... The soldiers were killed in the enemy group.

Battle flew his two scimitars from side to side, and the enemy troops on both sides of his path fell from their horses...... Guluzab, Manji Dorji, and Zhao Tiefeng led the team to repeatedly rush and kill in the enemy formation. The vanguard cavalry of the enemy army was completely routed in an instant......

At this time, Haigula personally led the main force of the enemy's First Army Corps, and also rushed to the vicinity of the Seven Star Mountain Passes; On the high ground on the other side of the hill diagonally opposite the Seven Star Passes, his command position was established.

The enemy's 1st Army Corps, embroidered with a wolf's head, immediately stood on its position. Khagura is ready to fight here, personally commanding the army.

He saw his forward cavalry team quickly lose and felt that the first round had been completely lost. He immediately ordered the other two main cavalry divisions of his First Army Corps to leave one cavalry regiment as a battle reserve, and the rest of the men and horses immediately joined the battle in an attempt to turn the tide of the battle as soon as possible.

He knew in his heart that once Jinhua Hadun returned to the tribe safely and entered the mountain, it would be equivalent to "letting the tiger return to the mountain", and the entire Turghut tribe would become their strongest mortal enemy! It will also certainly become the biggest obstacle to their advance into Ili and Urumqi, and there will be no more room for maneuver.

Aguba also ordered him to intercept and kill Jinhua Hatun at any cost; and handed over the Fourth Army of Cadakel, which arrived later, to him for unified command.

At this time, the herald came and reported: "Report to the general! General Kedakel's Fourth Army Corps has arrived. ”

After a little thought, Hygura immediately gave an order to the heralds: "Inform Kreachel: The Fourth Army will advance quickly and detouringly along the Kaidu River, and flank them from the flank!" ”

The herald responded and quickly left.

The heralds had just left, and in the distance behind the position commanded by Khagura, there was a sudden shouting again, from far and near. But this time, the shouting was different from the past, obviously mixed with the smell of miserable crying.

Hygura was a little confused......

The wounded cavalry of the Yanqi barracks arrived, rolled off the saddle in embarrassment, quickly knelt down in front of the Haigulama, and reported in a loud voice:

"Report to the General! The Yanqi barracks was attacked by enemy brigades in the second half of the night. The arsenal has been blown up, and most of the men and horses left behind have been killed...... General Nazar is still fighting and asks for immediate reinforcements! ”

Haigura was amazed! Hurriedly asked, "Where did the enemy troops come from?" ”

"The enemy is unknown! Judging by their weapons and equipment, it must be a regular army, and there are a lot of them! ”

Haigura couldn't help but say, and immediately decided to let his lieutenant go to the rescue, "Patila! You immediately bring two cavalry regiments from the reserve to the rescue of Nazar. Act fast! Make no mistake! ”

Hygura's lieutenant, Patila, replied loudly, "Yes! ”

Patila took the two cavalry regiments of the battle reserve and galloped in the direction of Yanqi City...... It took away the last of Hygura's maneuvering powers.

On the grassy passage by the Kaidu River, Kedaquel was leading his Fourth Regiment Brigade cavalry on a rapid march...... Suddenly, a long wall of dead branches stood in the way.

Several horses in front of the enemy army jumped into the air and stepped over, and when they landed, they all fell into the bottomless pit...... The enemy soldiers in the front team immediately stopped, and in an instant they were huddled together.

Jiangba Kundu, who was lying in ambush in the bushes not far from the pit, immediately ordered an attack. For a while, there was a lot of gunfire! Dozens of earthen guns, shotguns, and Bodan rifles fired at the still stunned enemy cavalry ranks, and dozens of enemy soldiers were killed in an instant.

While the enemy was looking for their target in panic, the earthen guns and rifles were reloaded, and another volley was fired, and dozens of enemy soldiers were knocked down and dismounted.

Jiang Bakundu led the team and quickly turned to the next blocking position behind him......

After a while, the cavalry of the enemy brigade, which had just recovered from his senses, continued to rush forward along the Kaidu River...... Arrived at a relatively open large meadow of sagegrass.

When the enemy cavalry was about to rush to the middle of the meadow, dozens of horses in the front team were injured in the legs by the "traps" used by hundreds of hunters. This trap is specially used to hunt black bears and wild wolves, and the power is very large, as long as you step on it, no matter how strong the legs of the war horse are, they will be immediately clamped off.

Dozens of enemy soldiers, including men and horses, fell to the ground in an instant...... The enemy continued to advance, and another group of enemy cavalry had their legs broken.

The team led by Jiang Bakundu fired again, and the archers all fired a volley, bringing down the panicked enemy cavalry gathered together.

Jiang Bakundu took advantage of the situation to lead the cavalry team of less than 200 men and launched a charge......

The sudden ambush and the onslaught of the cavalry corps of Jambakundu almost completely collapsed the forward cavalry of the Fourth Regiment of Kdackel. However, the more than 3,000 cavalry of the Fourth Army of Kedaquel were dispatched this time, and although they were blocked several times on the way, the casualties were not small, but the main force was still there, and there were still many men and horses.

Keldaquer understood that if he was blocked and pinned down by the Kaidu River for too long, it would inevitably affect the entire battle situation. And if he delayed the fighter, Haigula, his own brother who was at odds with him, would never let him go! Now it has to be done quickly. He frantically commanded the main cavalry force and besieged the cavalry team that had blocked them for nearly an hour.

Although the cavalry team of Jiangba Kundu was extremely fierce and brave, because the disparity between the enemy's and our military strength was too great, they could not hold on for a long time.

But Jiang Bakun understands that behind him is the flank of the main cavalry, and once it is broken through by the enemy, the consequences will be unimaginable! Therefore, we must not take a step back, we must fight to the death with all our might!

Jiang Bakundu led the team and launched wave after wave of attacks on the enemy army; But despite all his might, he still couldn't stop the main force of the enemy army that was gathering more and more.

When Jambakundu led the cavalry to charge again, he was shot several times by the enemy...... Blood spurted from his mouth and he threw out the scimitar with the last of his strength...... The two enemy soldiers were instantly slashed off their horses by the whirling scimitars......

With the main cavalry of the enemy's Fourth Legion, Cadacel continued to charge. As we advanced to a narrow passage between the river and the large willow forest, several rows of "horse stakes" were suddenly pulled up...... The enemy front team was caught off guard and was all forked to the ground.

A dense rain of arrows was shot from the willow groves, and dozens of enemy cavalry were shot down in front of the "horse rejection stakes...... Then another rain of arrows struck the enemy.

Hanging from his wounded left arm and holding his captured saber high in his right hand, Battle's old father led more than 100 herdsmen and lamas armed with knives, forks and sticks out of the willow forest......

The crowd shouted in unison: "Protect your homeland!" Kill the thief ......"

Without hesitation, they rushed to the ranks of the enemy cavalry...... More than 20 lamas used long sticks to knock several enemy cavalry rushing forward to the ground; Dozens of herdsmen armed with iron forks dismounted a dozen marching enemy troops......
