"Xilulu!" After the Mongolian cavalry's horses were hit, they fell to the ground, and their four hooves kept struggling to get up again. However, this was completely impossible for them. After being tripped by the tripping horse rope, the Mongolian cavalry's offensive was abrupt. They could no longer move forward. The short distance of two or three hundred meters seemed to have become a natural barrier. The soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire used their weapons to kill and injure the living power of these Mongolian cavalry to the greatest extent. The Mongolian cavalry kept screaming and falling to the ground, or falling down with people and horses, and they could never get up again. The entire battlefield was very tragic, completely like these Mongolian cavalry were massacred.
Although they were still far apart, the infantry that had been charged behind the Mongolian cavalry were still far away. However, after seeing the attacks of the Mongolian cavalry were frustrated and massacred by the Imperial Army, they were all stunned. They originally thought that Mongolian cavalry could easily break through the defense of the Imperial Army in Runing City. But now it seems that it is useless for Mongolian cavalry to take action! Even the Mongolian cavalry could not enter Runing, what would they do? Therefore, these infantry stopped completely.
The Mongolian cavalry was undoubtedly powerful, and even compared with the world-famous Cossack cavalry, it was probably not inferior. However, at this moment, these Mongolian cavalry attacking Runing were completely in desperate situations. They were like cowardly lambs, allowing the soldiers of the 5th Brigade of the Imperial Army to shoot and kill them. In a short time, a thick layer of corpses were piled up outside the city.
Mongolian cavalry was afraid of death when fighting. However, at this moment, they were also timid. Some Mongolian cavalry who were scared turned their horses and began to escape. The role of role models was endless. When someone began to retreat, the rest of the Mongolian cavalry also learned and learned. This made the offensive of the Mongolian cavalry failed. Although the Mongolian cavalry retreated, the bullets and shells of the Imperial Army were still chasing them and hitting them. Mongolian cavalry were constantly being beaten to death and injured on the way to escape. As for those
The infantry fighting with the cavalry, when the Mongolian cavalry fled, they immediately turned around and fled. The Mongolian cavalry who were supervising the battle behind the battlefield didn't know what to do at this time. Originally, their mission was to cut and kill those who dared to retreat without authorization. But now, among those who retreated, there were their compatriots! There was no way, they could only let go. This attack by the Qing army ended in failure again. And, the 13th Cavalry Division of the Qing army, who participated in the attack, suffered heavy losses.
"Prince, I'm sorry, I'm incompetent, please punish me!" Shanlu, the commander of the 4th Army of the Qing army, said to Senggelinqin with a frustration. He originally thought that this attack would work, so that he would achieve great military achievements. But he did not expect that the final result would be a crushing defeat. More than 6,000 people from the 13th Cavalry Division had less than 2,000 people who returned safely. In other words, two-thirds of the people were killed.
"Shanlu, this is not your fault, but those rebels are too despicable!" Senggelinqin said gritting her teeth. Originally, he was full of hope for this attack, but who knew that he would fail at the last critical moment? Once the Mongolian cavalry attacked the city of Runing, they would definitely be able to easily rush up to the city wall. At that time, it would not be impossible to break through the defense of the Chinese Imperial Army in Runing.
"General Shanlu, I want to know what did the Mongolian cavalry encounter when they attacked just now? Why did they suddenly stop attacking?" said Major General Jerrison, British consultant. Originally, he really thought that the Mongolian cavalry could create miracles! But unexpectedly, they were blocked at the critical moment. This made him feel that it was a pity.
"The Advisor, the surviving soldiers said that the rebels buried the squat rope under the city of Runing. In addition, there are several wire mesh in front of the squat rope. These will become obstacles to the attack of our cavalry." Lieutenant General Shanlu said.
Major General Jerisson nodded, and then said to Senggelinqin: "General, I think we can continue to launch an attack. The impact of the Mongolian cavalry is much stronger than that of the infantry. It is possible to use cavalry to break through the obstacles deployed by the Chinese army under Runing City. As long as we break through those obstacles, we can attack the city of Runing City in an instant. At that time, there is not a chance to attack Runing City."
Major General Jellison's words made Senggelinqin fall into deep thought. He naturally knew what Major General Jellison meant, which was nothing more than asking him to fill it with his life regardless of cost. Although the Chinese Army deployed many obstacles under the city of Runing, after hard work, these obstacles could be removed. After removing these obstacles, they could directly attack Runing City. Senggelinqin believed that with the attack power of Mongolian cavalry, this was not impossible to complete. However, it would take many lives to fill it. If it was filled with the lives of the Han people, he would not blink. However, now it was filled with the lives of the Mongolian people, so we have to consider it. The number of Mongolian people was not large, and the casualties this time exceeded 4,000, which made him feel very distressed. If Major General Jellison did it, he still didn't know how much it would be lost.
"God of General, I want to remind you that we don't have much time now. The reinforcements of the Chinese army will arrive soon. Although the 7th Cavalry and the 8th Cavalry will arrive tomorrow. However, if we cannot capture Runing before the reinforcements of the Chinese army arrive, we will face the dangerous situation of being attacked from both sides. At that time, we have no choice but to retreat." Major General Jerisson said.
Senggelinqin hesitated a little. Is it really worthwhile to eliminate the enemy entrenched in Runing with huge casualties? So far, the Qing army's casualties have exceeded 60,000. There are still thousands of elite Mongolian cavalry. Even when the 7th Cavalry and 8th Cavalry arrive, they will not have a decisive advantage in terms of military strength. The 3rd Infantry Army and 6th Infantry Army have too slow marching speed and are expected to be four or five days before they can arrive. By the time they arrive, they will probably have no way to make a comeback.
"Prince, the 2nd Cavalry Army has sent people to send the latest news." At this time, a low-level officer said to Senggelinqin.
Senggelinqin took the letter and read it immediately. However, his face soon turned pale. Lieutenant General Shanlu and Major General Jerisson realized that something seemed to be wrong with the Second Cavalry Army.
The 2nd Cavalry Army believed that it was to restrain the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army from the north of Nanyang, as well as the 1st Army and 19th Army of the 3rd Army. The order given to them was to delay the operations of the Imperial Army as much as possible and not fight hard with them. During this period, the 2nd Cavalry Army had been carrying out this task. However, yesterday afternoon, the 2nd Cavalry Army of the Qing army was raided by more than 2,000 cavalrymen from the three Imperial Army. The Imperial Army used mortars to bombard the Qing army, and then the Qing army began a retaliatory attack, but was hit by the heavy machine guns and mortars of the Imperial Army, and suffered heavy losses. Subsequently, the Imperial Army promoted the Qing army to the Qing army.
The army lured into a valley. Around the valley, the Imperial Army's 3rd Army deployed heavy troops. The Qing army suffered a devastating blow as soon as it attacked the valley. More than 20,000 people were wiped out, and more than half of the remaining more than 10,000 people surrendered directly to the Imperial Army. Only a few thousand people escaped. It can be said that the 2nd Cavalry Army had suffered heavy losses. After that, the remaining troops of the 2nd Cavalry Army retreated directly to Xuchang. This was equivalent to exposing the flanks of Senggelinqin to the Imperial Army! After losing the cover of the 2nd Cavalry Army, the Imperial Army will attack Senggelinqin's flanks with three armies and more than 100,000 troops.
"Bastard! Why is this happening?" Senggelinqin was furious. Now, the battle situation became very unfavorable to the Qing army.
Major General Jerrison's face changed drastically after learning what had happened. The current situation of the war is indeed very unfavorable to the Qing army.
"God of General, we have no other way. Either strengthen the attack on Runing or retreat immediately. Otherwise, we will be wiped out by the Chinese army soon. Unless we can take Runing first and then defeat the 2nd and 20th Chinese army in the south. Otherwise, we will likely lose this war." Major General Jerisson said.
"Tell me the order and launch an attack on Runing immediately! The 3rd Cavalry Army, the 4th Cavalry Army and the 5th Cavalry Army will take turns to send troops to attack the city. Anyone who fails to fight will be severely punished!" Senggelinqin said. The critical situation made him determined.
"Yes, Prince!" Lieutenant General Shanlu and other generals took the order one after another.
Then, the cavalry of the Qing army began to cooperate with the infantry and launched a fierce attack on Runing City, as if they were not stingy with their lives at all. Even if every attack would be at the cost of heavy casualties, they were defeated by the Imperial Army. However, they seemed to have no idea of being afraid.
Major General Zhao Mingfu, commander of the 5th Army of the Imperial Army, also knew that the Qing army was preparing to fight to the death. He wanted to eat the 5th Army before the reinforcements of the Imperial Army arrived. However, the Qing army was simply delusional. Although the Imperial Army's defense in Runing was not as solid as a solid person, it was not so easy for the Qing army to break through.
From the afternoon of October 27, Runing's battle entered a climax. However, no matter how much attack the Qing army invested, it was easily beaten back in the end. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
