Chapter 908 Thunder Strike (3)
"Come with me and rush to the left!"
Unable to rush forward, the Qing cavalry behind had arrived again. Luo Buzang Danjin immediately became anxious, and he didn't care whether the Qing army would be ambushed in the hilly areas. He shouted and led the cavalry gathered beside him and rushed to the left. With this move, the Mongolian cavalry, who were running around like a headless fly, rushed to the left without any choice. Strangely, the Qing cavalry was not in a hurry to chase the left, but were still fighting back and forth in the middle of the battlefield to kill the Mongolian defeated soldiers who were unable to retreat.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Most of the Mongolian soldiers fleeing to the left noticed the fact that the Qing cavalry had not been chased, but no one thought about the truth at this critical moment of escape. They thought that this was caused by the Qing army's negligence, and they could not help but feel excited about being about to escape. Unfortunately, the reality was bloody and cruel. Just as the Mongolian soldiers who were busy fleeing approached the hilly areas, a series of explosions suddenly sounded at the feet of the cavalry. In just a moment, many Mongolian soldiers who were caught off guard were blown up and flew into the air. The shrapnel flew everywhere, and people fell on the ground and howling sounded. The Mongolian soldiers who were fleeing were frightened and frantically stopped their horses.
What's going on? The answer is only one - mine! Although the officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Second Army sneaked across the Jishishan trail with light clothes and could not bring the artillery regiment, they brought some mines. Although not many, it was not enough to arrange the two sides of the battlefield into minefields. However, it is still possible to arrange a minefield in front of the hills on the left side of the battlefield. The officers and soldiers of the First Cavalry Division had already known this in advance and would not rush to chase and kill the defeated soldiers who fled to the left. However, when the fleeing soldiers stopped, He Min would not be very polite. He led his troops to turn around and put the butt of the defeated army and then killed them again.
"Run, don't stop, continue!"
Although he was frightened by the sudden violent explosion, Luo Buzang Danjin didn't care much. Listening to the cry of the Qing army behind him, Luo Buzang Danjin led the remaining Mongolian cavalry nearby into the minefield regardless of the tragic sound. There was no doubt that the explosion sounded again, and countless defeated soldiers and horses were blown into pieces, with blood flowing and sloshing. Their miserable appearance was frightening.
The power of the mine array is certainly not small, but its real function is to shock. There is nothing else. After the mine is bombed once, it will disappear. There is no possibility of reuse. The Mongolian soldiers risked their lives and rushed to death, and many of them were killed by the bombardment, but thousands of cavalry broke through the blockade of the mine array and escaped from the hilly areas. The shirtless Luo Buzang Danjin was one of the lucky ones.
"Blow the trumpet and stop the troops and clean up the battlefield!"
Luo Buzang Danjin escaped, but there were nearly 10,000 Mongolian soldiers at the scene, but there was no way out. They all dismounted and knelt on the ground in chaos. When they saw this, He Min did not pursue Luo Buzang Danjin, who was running away, but instead issued an order to withdraw troops. It was not that he did not want to chase, but that he was powerless to chase again. There was no sideways. The war horses under the Qing army's crotch had reached their limit. Even if they were chasing with all their strength, they would not be able to chase them. Instead of wasting their physical strength, it would be better to solve the defeated soldiers at the scene first. No one would think that there were too many military achievements. He Min didn't plan to let Li Mingliang get one more, so he would catch as much as he could.
"Report, General, the Qing army suddenly appeared behind the pass and attacked the camp at night. Our army was defeated and the whereabouts of the Khan were unknown."
Chenshi Zhengpai, the sun finally lazily poked its head from the top of the mountain, sprinkled golden lights on the earth, dispelled the mist in the forest, lit up the dewdrops, colorful butterflies flew, birds and birds chirping. The morning scenery where the old teeth were was undoubtedly quite good, but Altenthur was obviously unwilling to appreciate it. Although the person stood firmly in the city plate, his eyebrows were tightly locked into a big "chuan", and his face was full of thick and unresolved grief. Just as he was irritated, a soldier covered in sweat rushed out of the stairs beside the city gate tower like a whirlwind, and quickly grabbed Altenthur's back, and pointed to the ground on one knee, and reported in great panic.
"What? Say it again!"
Today, the morning hours, fires surged into the sky in the direction of the camp, and the explosions were heard at the old teeth ten miles away. Altenthur had been alarmed a long time ago, but he couldn't figure out what happened in the camp and did not dare to leave Guancheng to return to help. However, he sent more than a dozen stunners to observe the movement early. In fact, he had an unknown premonition in his heart. Even so, he was shocked and screamed when he heard the news of his defeat.
"General, the Qing army raided the camp at night. Our army was defeated. The whereabouts of the Khan were unknown. The young man had found several scattered soldiers and was waiting to see him at the gate of the city. If the general doesn't believe it, he can summon him to ask in detail."
Seeing that Altenthul was not right, the detective did not dare to neglect it and quickly repeated the information he had discovered.
"Go, will..."
After hearing the detective confirmed the unfortunate news again, Altenthur's heart had completely sunk to the bottom of the valley, but he refused to give up. He hurriedly wanted to call the defeated soldiers up and ask in detail.
"Look at the general, the Qing dog is coming!"
Before Altenthur finished speaking, he was interrupted by the screams of a sentry not far away.
"Hurry up, blow the trumpet, and prepare for war with all the troops!"
Hearing the noise was wrong, Altenthur hurriedly turned around and looked outside the city. When he saw a dragon flag waving in the wind at the bend two miles away, a large group of Qing soldiers were walking away. He didn't care about going to ask the defeated soldiers anymore, and then he shouted.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
Since Altenthur had issued an order, the messenger who was waiting on the side did not dare to delay any delay. He quickly blew the horn of emergency assembly. In an instant, the originally quiet Guancheng became panic. Teams of soldiers ran towards Guancheng with various weapons, but did not rush to the top of the city. Instead, they stood close to the wall as usual yesterday, ready to go to the city to catch the enemy at any time.
"The whole army stops. Come on, set up the heavy artillery for me!"
The Qing general who led the army was Kui'an, the commander of the artillery division. The difference was that when he came yesterday, this guy was full of resentment and bad luck on his face, but today he was very refreshed. Shi Ran led his troops to less than 300 steps from the city, and then he waved his hand proudly and shouted loudly.
"twitter!"
After Kui'an's order, the gunners did not dare to go lightly. They all agreed and drove it out with all their might. Two quarters of an hour later, two heavy artillery guns were already in place, and the huge gun barrel was diagonally directed to Guancheng.
"hiss……"
Seeing that the two heavy artillery erected by the Qing army were so huge, Altenthur couldn't help but gasp and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Go and let the people in the city open the city and surrender!"
The heavy artillery had been set up and the infantry had already formed the formation. However, Kui'an did not intend to launch an attack in a hurry. Instead, he waved to a loud soldier and ordered with a proud look on his face.
"twitter!"
When the general heard that the commander had an order, the soldier did not dare to go lightly. He responded quickly, stalked up and walked forward, calmly arrived at less than 60 steps away from the city. Then he stood up and whispered to Altenthur standing in front of the city gate tower: "Listen to the people in the city, our army has completely wiped out the main forces of you and others, and killed countless people. Luo Buzang Danjin's life and death are unknown. The overall situation in Qinghai has been decided. You are alone in this city and cannot escape the end of destruction. However, my prince has the virtue of life and is unwilling to commit more killings. Give me a stick of incense to consider it. If you don't surrender early, you will die without a place to bury!"
"General, Dahan is really defeated? Can't I stop? How did Qinggou get into the pass?"
"Yes, General, and there are countless warriors under the Khan's tent. How could he be defeated like this?"
"General, what do you want to do? Let's listen to you."
...
The Qing soldier had a very loud voice, and the shouting sound was extremely loud. Even between such a long distance, the Mongolian soldiers in the city could hear clearly. The morale of the army suddenly became chaotic. However, the generals did not care about the suppression and rushed to the top of the city in a mess, surrounded Altentur in the center, and asked in a scattered manner.
"The Khan was indeed defeated. Our army was attacked from both sides. The old gate was already an isolated city. Whether to fight or surrender, I will choose to stop myself."
From the time he saw the two heavy artillery of the Qing army, Altenthur had no desire to fight, but he was obviously unwilling to bear the responsibility of surrender rashly. Seeing that all the generals came, he simply revealed the truth and delegated the decision to the generals.
"General, you have decided, and the last general will listen to you."
"Yes, General, you will order it."
"General, what do you say, the last general will have no objection."
...
When Altenthur heard that Luo Buzang Danjin had been defeated in person, the generals were stunned. After looking at each other for a long time, they opened their mouths and kicked the ball back to Altenthur's feet.
"Ah..., this is not a crime of war, but it is really a matter of heaven. Since it is useless to fight, it is better to surrender. I will pass on the order of this general to raise the white flag and open the city to surrender!"
