Kowloon wins

Chapter 887 Cyclonus Rush ([-])

The Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, is named for its turbidity and yellowness, but that is all in the middle and lower reaches. In fact, the water in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is not yellow at all, and it is neither turbulent nor surging. On the contrary, it is clear to see the bottom, at least the section of the river flowing outside Lanzhou City is like this. Although the river surface is wider, it is more than [-] meters long, but the water flow is extremely gentle, and it is not difficult to see it. It is too deep, and the deepest part is about seven or eight meters. The trees on both sides of the bank are lush and lush, and there are clusters of flowers dotted among them. Butterflies dance and bees fly, and birds circle. Yanxin, the governor of Shaanxi on the gate tower of the South City, had no intention of admiring it. A pair of dim old eyes frequently looked at the avenue on the other side of the river, and his heart was full of worry.

Yanxin received an order five days ago, saying that [-] new troops would come to the Lanzhou area to suppress the rebellion and let them build a pontoon to welcome them. Because of this order, Yanxin had to lead his troops out of the city to fight against the rebellious Tibetans After a battle, more than two thousand elites were lost, and the Tibetans who were besieging the city were barely killed, and the navy was dispatched to hastily built two pontoon bridges. There are only about [-] troops left to defend the city, and almost half of them are wounded. Once reinforcements fail to arrive in time, Yanxin really doesn't know what to do to defend Lanzhou City.

"Master Zhijun, look, there is movement on the other side of the river!"

Just when Yanxin was worried, he saw that a Geshiha who was following him was already yelling with great excitement.

"Huh..., finally here, hurry up, open the city gate to welcome!"

Hearing the sound, Yanxin looked over at the prestige, and saw smoke and dust billowing suddenly on the avenue on the other side of the river. With the flags unfurling, a Biao army was galloping towards them, although the flags and the size of the army were still unclear. It is possible that the only reinforcements coming from that direction are undoubtedly our own reinforcements. Seeing this, Yan Xin's heart immediately fell to the ground. Ignoring that the reinforcements had to cross the river, he hurriedly roared and walked like flying The ground jumped down the gate tower...

"The last general of the Yellow River Navy, Zhang Debiao, is here. I don't know which general from your department has arrived. Please come out and talk."

At the ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, a sailor general led more than a dozen Geshha standing beside the pontoon bridge. Seeing the galloping cavalry stopped not far away, he rushed forward, curious Looking carefully at this strangely equipped cavalry army, he raised his voice and greeted him.

"General Zhang, Ke Luntai, commander of the [-]st Brigade of the [-]st Cavalry Division, was ordered to take the lead in sending [-] troops across the river on official business. General Zhang, please arrange the crossing as soon as possible. The military situation is urgent and there should be no delay!"

A bearded general in the cavalry that hadn't come to a complete standstill rode out in a row. He returned the salute with a serious face, and issued the general's order quite arrogantly. This man was the commander of the first brigade of the first cavalry division. Ke Luntai was originally a general in Hongqing's bodyguards. He joined the New Army when he was recruited in Japan, and rose to the position of brigade commander through hard work. It's not small, but his temper is obviously not that small, even though his official title is actually the same as the other party's, but this opening is the tone of order.

"Well, the pontoon bridge is ready now, and there are 120 large and small ships. General Ke, please arrange the order of crossing the river. I will cooperate with you."

Seeing that the other party's official rank is no more than his own, but his tone is so aggressive, Zhang Debiao can't help being a little annoyed, but the other party has brought out military intelligence to suppress him, no matter how dissatisfied Zhang Debiao is, he dare not have any objections. He could only smile helplessly, and answered with cupped hands.

"Well, we have all of them. One regiment gets off the horse and leads the horse across the river with the general. The second and third regiments get on the boat. Hurry up!"

Hearing Zhang Debiao's words, Ke Luntai just nodded his head without even saying a word of greeting, and with a wave of his hand, he already issued a general order loudly.

It has never been an easy task for cavalry to cross the river. Regardless of the pontoon bridge and the overloaded boats, the horses are afraid of water. Not to mention how troublesome it was, after a long busy day, Ke Luntai was finally the first one to go up to the north shore.

"The general has invited me. I have extended the letter. I am late in welcoming you. Please forgive me, general."

Ke Lun had just landed on the north bank, Yan Xin led a group of generals to rush forward and greeted him very politely.

"The last commander of the First Brigade of the First Division of the Cavalry of the New Army, Ke Luntai, is meeting with the Commander."

Although Ke Lun is an arrogant person, facing Yan Xin, the Governor of Shaanxi at Jiuzhen Border Pass, he didn't dare to show any disrespect, so he hurriedly gave a standard blow and greeted him respectfully.

"You don't need to be too polite, general. It's been a long journey. How about going to the city to rest?"

Yanxin has been stationed at the border, and has never witnessed the sharpness of the new army, but after all, he is a senior general in the army, so he has heard of the strength of the new army. His heartstrings were more than half relaxed, but when he saw that he stretched out his hand very kindly to help him, he smiled and sent out the invitation.

"Thank you, Lord Zhijun, for your kindness. However, the final general has a military order. When the whole army has crossed the river, he must lead his troops to the Banan Sanchuan Camp. The final general will not enter this city. Please delay Your Excellency will bring all the guides who promised our army, and the general will set off soon."

Ke Luntai politely but resolutely rejected Yanxin's invitation, and instead urged him to ask about the guide.

"Ba Nuan Sanchuan Battalion? Is this... the three thousand soldiers from your ministry?"

When he heard that Keluntai was going to Ba Nuan Sanchuan camp, Yanxin couldn't help but gasped, nothing else, all the way along the way were rebellious Tibetans, after more than half a month of riots, now they are surrounded by mats The bandits in the riots numbered in the tens of thousands, and three thousand soldiers and horses seemed like a lot, but if they really fell into the bandits, there would be hardly even a single bone left, let alone Ba Nuan Sanchuan Camp, which was easy to defend. It is difficult to attack, and once it is difficult to move down quickly, you will be surrounded by bandits and bandits, and you will have nowhere to escape. You will not be able to extend your freedom without being surprised and inexplicable.

"Master Zhijun said that there are only [-] troops in our army right now, and the follow-up army will arrive in no time. Please also make arrangements for related supplies and supplies."

Ke Luntai could understand Yanxin's astonishment. In fact, when he received this order, Ke Lun himself was also inexplicably surprised. He definitely won't back down. Now that he's gone, he's ready to fight to the death. Of course, Ke Lun won't speak out about such an idea in public, so he just explained a few words briefly.

"Alright then, this old man will send someone to bring the guides here."

The corners of Yanxin's mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he didn't say anything dissuading, just nodded with a slight frown, and replied with a worried look on his face.

"I'm sorry, my lord. The general still has military affairs in his body, so I don't dare to slack off a bit. Please allow the general to rectify the troops first, and then come to ask the lord for help later."

It was already past noon, and the troops under his command were still crossing the river one after another. Ke Luntai couldn't help feeling a little impatient, so he didn't want to say any more, so he bowed towards Yanxin, and after a few words of politeness, he immediately ordered The horse rushed back to the ferry, and loudly ordered all the soldiers who came ashore one after another to form a team quickly.

"The whole army obeys the order, and head west all the way. If you encounter the enemy, don't hesitate, kill me, and go straight to the Ba Nuan Sanchuan camp, and set off!"

It took a full hour and a half for the three thousand cavalrymen to cross the river, and after the whole team had finished, Ke Luntai didn't care about letting his soldiers rest for a while, already holding a knife in his hand, he headed towards the west Pointing, shouted and gave the order to attack. In an instant, thousands of cavalry rushed up with whips and dust billowing, and rushed westward without any advance...

"Report, Mr. Buba (the title of the Tibetan tribal leader), there are cavalry troops approaching our department at high speed from the direction of Lanzhou, and it is only five miles away!"

Less than [-] miles away from Lanzhou City, Bagari Gexia of Pingguo Luoke's department was drinking in the big tent of the Chinese army. Suddenly, a reporter rushed in from outside in panic, kneeling Falling down in front of him, he reported anxiously.

"What? How many people are here? Who led the army, tell me!"

The Pingguoloke tribe is the second largest tribe among the six rebellious Tibetan tribes, with a total of more than [-] warriors. At the peak of the tribe's soldiers, the total number of soldiers reached more than [-]. Satisfied, Gali Ge Xiazhi not only led his troops to attack the city near Zhuanglangwei, but also tried to take down the important town of Lanzhou in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, the soldiers had just arrived in Lanzhou At the foot of the city, Yanxin was suddenly hit by a head-on attack, which lost more than [-] people for no reason. He had to lead his troops to temporarily retreat and set up camp, and sent a large number of troops to collect food and supplies. The Ministry of Secrets attacked Lanzhou again. When they heard that there was a cavalry army coming from Lanzhou, they became anxious on the spot.

"Master Huibuba, the ones who came were all cavalry, and it looked like there were only three thousand cavalry, and the banner didn't look like the banner of the Lanzhou Army, and even the young ones couldn't recognize where the banner came from."

Seeing the ferocious look on Gary Gexia's face, the reporting horse didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly reported the results of the sentry.

"Three thousand riders? Hey, good time, pass the order, the whole army is assembled, let me eat this clean dog!"

Hearing that there were only 9000 cavalry from the Qing army killed, Gari Gexia couldn't help being happy, nothing else, although he sent a lot of food requisition teams, there are still more than [-] troops in the camp , especially the elite [-] people in its headquarters are there, so they are not afraid of the arrival of the three thousand Qing troops. ordered.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

As soon as Gari Gesha gave the general order, the shrill horn sounded violently, and the originally peaceful camp suddenly became chaotic, and teams of Tibetan soldiers either walked or rode horses, running wildly Then rushed out of the barracks...
