As soon as the battle began, more than 100,000 Horqin cavalry rushed towards Xu Yao's cavalry division in three directions.The left and right lieutenants, Jeddah and Habqik, led the troops to attack the left and right flanks respectively, and Seng Lingqin personally commanded the soldiers and horses to attack in the front.At this time, the ground shook with the sound of horses' hooves, as if the thunder on the horizon was from far and near, and the rumbling sound was deafening.Xu Yao had already lined up a fan-shaped gun formation on the position, and the muzzle of the gun was directly aimed at the black frenzy that was rushing in.The cavalry corps of the New First Army has gone through the Battle of Mongolia and the Battle of Xinjiang, and has long been tempered.In the face of all strong enemies, there is not the slightest fear.In the tempering of the war, they have already made a name for themselves and played with self-confidence.When the two sides were 500 meters apart, the brigades, under the command of the commander, skillfully pulled away the grab and opened the insurance."
Ready to shoot" Xu Yao shouted in a long voice, and the command flag in his hand waved down.The bullets of the rifle ejected from the magazine like popcorn, and the bullet rushed out of the chamber of the gun, making a bloodthirsty roar in the air, like locusts sweeping through the territory, destroying everything in front of it.War horses neighed, and human voices screamed.For a while, the war horse that rushed to the front was pierced by the high-speed moving bullet, and with a pop, blood splattered three feet and rolled to the ground.The cavalry was thrown off his horse, not to his death, and to lose half of his life.Tens of thousands of bullets flew out again, and less than three seconds apart, they rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry."
Puff puff puff" Thousands of war horses fell to the ground and rolled, splashing bursts of dust, neighing and struggling in pools of blood.Spears are like a forest, bullets are raining.In just a dozen seconds, 50,000 rounds of ammunition were fired.The Mongol cavalry was peeled back layer by layer by the rain of bullets, and the corpses completely covered the ground within 100 meters.This huge casualty made Seng Lingqin's eyes widen in surprise, this was the first time he had charged head-on with the Huaxing army.Just such a 10,000-strong Huaxing army has such a huge combat effectiveness.The speed of the Mongol cavalry charge in three directions obviously slowed down, and the tens of thousands of cavalry that had just rushed within 300 meters were all knocked to the ground."
Continue to impact" Monk Greenqin roared, not wanting to give up just like that, and continued to wave the order flag in his hand.He had long wanted to seek revenge on Hua Xingjun, and now he had an absolute advantage, so he couldn't just give up like that.The horns and horns roared, and the three-way cavalry pressed up towards the Huaxing army again.It's like going to a death feast, and you can't see the hope of victory at all, or you still come forward with a righteous impact.This is the Mongolian cavalry, the last elite of the Manchu Eight Banners Army.The bullets swept in overwhelmingly, and the second batch of tens of thousands of cavalry fell again in a pool of blood without accident.Xu Yao brought enough ammunition this time, and each cavalryman carried hundreds of rounds of ammunition on their horses.In just five hundred meters, the bullets weaved an impenetrable net of fire.Everything that entered this fire net, whether it was a war horse or a cavalry, had to be torn to shreds.In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of horses and cavalry fell in a pool of blood again.The underside of the battlefield was completely red with blood, and there were corpses everywhere, and there was no place to stay."
Prince, quickly order a retreat, if you continue to rush like this, the brothers will die" The left deputy general Jida could no longer bear the pressure, and hurriedly came back to report to Monk Greenqin."
Prince, you can't rush, you can't rush anymore" The right lieutenant Habuqik also rode his horse, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and howled at the monk Greenqin.Monk Lingqin's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth creaked, and after a minute of silence, he nodded in agreement."
Withdraw, withdraw quickly" Jeddah and Habuqik hurriedly gave orders to their generals, and after the fall of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, all the waves of Ukrainian pressure retreated.Monk Greenqin was not afraid of being beaten, and he was not afraid of this word in his mind.He just suddenly remembered that Rong Lu's protector was following closely behind him, if he attracted this cavalry to the guard.With the foreign spears of the protectors, combined with their own cavalry, they should be able to completely annihilate them.Xu Yao looked at the situation in front of him coldly with the binoculars, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.To the disappointment of Seng Lingqin, after all the Mongol cavalry had frantically withdrawn north, Xu Yao ordered to return to Zhangjiakou along the same route.After pacifying Inner Mongolia, the Huaxing army continued to advance the front more than 100 kilometers eastward, directly captured Zhangjiakou, and opened the door to Beijing.Xu Yao's mission this time was not to annihilate the enemy, but to lead a large army to survey the terrain, and he couldn't fight to the death with Monk Greenqin.After the dense clouds were blocked, Seng Lingqin desperately retreated north, until after fleeing for more than a hundred miles, he could no longer see the shadow of the Huaxing army, and then stopped.Seng Lingqin sent spies to investigate, only to learn that Huaxingjun had not followed at all, and he had long since known where he went.Monk Green scolded angrily, and this back and forth was delayed for more than two days.In the past two days or so, the capital was almost turned upside down by the Boxers.On the night of two days ago, Hu Liefeng, the boss of the Seven Heroes of Saibei, under the guidance of the old eunuch, really found a secret passage leading to the palace in the city.The Seven Evil Armies also sneaked into the palace one after another from this secret passage that night.After daybreak, the Boxers attacked again.It was still a feint attack on three sides, and the Weihu Army was the main attack at the Daqing Gate.Wang Yinlin was also worried that these miscellaneous armed forces would not be able to contribute, so he announced that whoever entered the Forbidden City first would be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold.There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the other three city gates that feinted to attack also fought for their lives today, and they desperately rushed towards the city wall regardless of the beginning of the battle.They had learned the lesson of yesterday this time, and the soldiers at the front were already equipped with door panels, or pushing small carts with sandbags to storm.Although the protectors on the city wall were condescending, they could not hit the people behind the sandbags at a distance of two hundred meters.Ten minutes after the battle began, the Boxers completely attacked within 200 meters, and although they suffered more than 10,000 casualties, their morale still increased unabated.The soldiers all roared and wanted to be the first to rush into the city wall, a thousand taels of gold was enough to live a lifetime.The Protectors held back so hard that the barrels of their guns were even hot.Bullets kept flying out, putting the Boxer soldiers under the city wall one by one.The battle was at a fever pitch, and suddenly, there was a burst of gunfire behind the Daqing Gate."
Division commander, the big thing is not good, the anti-thief came out of the noon gate, and now he has attacked the end gate, and he is about to fight" The herald found Duan Feihu in the confusion, and hurriedly told him in a panic.The National Protector Army was completely prepared in accordance with the establishment of the Huaxing Army, so it was also commensurate with the division commander."
How is this possible" Duan Feihu was organizing manpower to guard against the artillery of the Boxers, and now the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred meters, and they were completely exposed to the range of the artillery.As soon as the herald's words fell, Duan Feihu almost cried out in surprise.The four sides of the imperial city were blocked by the water he defended, and even rats couldn't get in, so how could a thief suddenly appear."
It's true, Commander.There are a lot of them, and our logistics office is located at the noon gate," the herald was afraid that he would not believe him, so he reported again hoarsely."
Quick, immediately notify each brigade to transfer a regiment to guard Duanmen" Duan Feihu also heard the dense gunfire in the imperial city at this time, and hurriedly gave an order to the heralds.Inside the Daqing Gate is the end gate, inside the end gate is the noon gate, and after entering the noon gate, the real palace is located.Duan Feihu put the logistics office at the noon gate, and all the food and ammunition were piled up there.Now that there is a fire in the backyard, Duan Feihu's heart is about to jump out in fright."
Are we surrounded?"
"What's the matter, are the Boxers monsters, why did they come out of the noon gate" "What can we do, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet" The soldiers of the Protector Army were panicked, and they all knew what happened at the noon gate, and they all whispered in panic."
Brothers of the Han nationality, don't work for the Manchu lackeys anymore, they won't come back, our Boxers will not kill them" At this time, the gunfire under the city suddenly stopped, and nearly hundreds of people shouted at the guards on the gate of the Qing Dynasty with their throats."
Why are you still stunned and continue to shoot, continue to shoot" The gunfire on the city wall really fell, and the shout clearly reached the ears of every soldier.Duan Feihu's back was cold when he heard this, and he hurriedly roared at the generals, and took the lead in shooting at the city.The gunfire rang out again, and the windshield wipers hit the sandbags in front of the Boxers, splashing up bursts of dust."
Fuck, shameless, shoot at Lao Tzu" Geng Biao, the boss of the Cangzhou Five Tigers, scolded and gave an order to the artillery that had already been properly deployed.The trolley loaded with sandbags was temporarily removed from one place, revealing hundreds of artillery pieces, densely facing the main gate of the Daqing Gate.All the soldiers on the city wall noticed this, and their eyes almost fell out in fright."
Artillery, they have artillery" "Quickly retreat, quickly retreat" Duan Feihu was just about to give the order to fire at the artillery under the city, but the soldiers had already dispersed to both sides, and before they had run two steps, they heard bursts of rumbling.The Boxers concentrated all the artillery of the whole army, and the muzzles of the guns were all aimed at the main gate tower of the Great Qing Gate.In an instant, nearly 100 rounds of 20-pound iron balls flew out towards the main gate, and smashed on the city gate tower with "knock, knock, knock", and even the entire city wall shook violently.The city gate building withstood nearly tons of impact for a while, and after a burst of cannons, it collapsed with a bang, revealing a fracture more than 20 meters wide."
Brothers, grab money, food, and women and rush with me" Geng Biao pulled out his big knife and roared, and all the foreign spearmen in front of the Daqing Gate jumped up, and rushed over the gap with a crazy roar.There were also gunfire in the city, and the Seven Evil Army had already broken through the Duanmen, and all of them poured into the square between the Duanmen and the Daqing Gate.The Protector Army on the Great Qing Gate was completely flanked by the front and rear, and even the last retreat was cut off
