"Boom, boom, boom..."

Although the word "light" is included in the light infantry artillery, it is only relative to the heavy artillery. In fact, although the light infantry artillery is not too big, its power is not small. No, twelve A volley of artillery fire immediately exploded into clusters of flames all over the city. The smoke was filled with shrapnel flying in all directions. The momentum was really huge. The infantry soldiers standing behind the position watching the excitement were amazed.

The gunpowder smoke was billowing, but when it finally cleared up, when the dust fell to the ground and looked again, the Guancheng was still standing still, only a large area of ​​the city gate tower was scorched black, which proved that it had indeed been bombarded before. In addition, only a few unlucky Mongolian soldiers were killed and injured by the flying shrapnel. This kind of shelling effect cannot be said to be non-existent, but it is nothing more than nothing. Of course, this is not surprising. The infantry itself It is not used to attack fortifications, but to slaughter groups of infantry. It is used as a siege run. They should be silent.

"Damn, bad luck, come again!"

As the artillery commander, Kui An actually knew that this kind of shelling would have the effect in front of him. Even so, when he saw the dejected look of the soldiers, he couldn't help stamping his feet and roaring angrily. voice.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A military order is a military order. Although all the gunners were not very motivated, none of them dared to disobey the order, so they could only operate mechanically according to the order, smashing round after round of shells into the ground. On the top of the city, as for the effect, no one expects so much anymore...

Three miles behind Dajiali Mountain Pass, a huge military camp stands on the grassland. Hundreds of thousands of people are densely packed here. The defensive facilities such as fences and antlers are quite impressive, but the tents in the military camp are various. There are all kinds of shapes, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a hodgepodge. Of course, this is not surprising. The 13 troops gathered here come from different ethnic groups and tribes such as Mongolia, Tibet, and Kazakhs. Their living habits and hobbies are very different. , the reason why they can get together is entirely because of the owner of the big golden tent in the center of the camp.

The golden tent is extremely luxurious, it is made of three layers of cowhide, the surface is inlaid with countless gold leaves, and on the top there is a nine-story golden pagoda that can be called a work of art. The two bright yellow banners outside the tent are waving in the wind. Qian, when people look at it, they will have a sense of awe. At this moment, a burly middle-aged man in the big tent sits on top of the head, sitting still with no expression on his face. This person is the self-proclaimed Qinghai Khan's Luobu Zangdanjin, dozens of generals standing in two rows with helmets and armors underneath, although silent, there was a huge murderous aura soaring into the sky.

"Report, Da Khan, around noon, the Qing army suddenly arrived in front of Lao Yaguan, shelling my Lao Yaguan, and has not yet launched the attack on the city. General Alten sent a young man to report, and ask Da Khan to tell us what to do."

In the dead silence of the faction, a horse riding a report horse rushed straight in from outside the camp like a whirlwind, and rushed to the camp of the Chinese army like thunder, and then reined in the galloping horse, before the horse stopped , saw the knight on the horse rolled off the saddle neatly, rushed into the tent of the Chinese army without stopping, knelt down on one knee towards Luo Bu Zang Danjin, and reported loudly: .

"Explore again!"

As soon as he heard what the horse said, the generals below immediately started a commotion, but Luo Bu Zang Danjin remained calm and didn't give any specific instructions. He just waved his hand and went down expressionlessly. make.

"Yes!"

Since Luo Bu Zang Danjin had given such instructions, the report horse didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly responded, then left the big tent in a hurry, and rode his horse towards Lao Yaguan by himself.

"Khan, those who come to clean up the dog are not good. In the end, the general thinks that the old teeth may be difficult to stick to, so it is better to make another plan."

Although it is nearly ten miles away, you can still hear the faint roar from the direction of the old jaw. The density is quite high, which shows how fierce the artillery fire of the Qing army is. The Mongolian generals are obviously not very optimistic about Altentur's ability Yasuotor, one of the three generals who had always been at odds with Altentur, was the first to stand up and yelled loudly.

"Big Khan, what General Yasuo said is true. It has been several days before the Qing army arrived at the pass, but they have not attacked for a long time. I am afraid that this sudden attack will be done with all their strength. I am afraid that our army will have to guard against it."

"Khan, the last general thought that he had to increase his troops, relying on the advantages of the geographical advantage, to drag down the Qing army!"

"Khan, the old Yaguan is the most important pass in the world. If there is a loss, our army will lose the ground. I am afraid that it will not be good for the battle. Please think twice."

……

Ya Suotol has always dominated the Mongolian tribes with his bravery. He is a well-known brave man in Qinghai, and he is quite prestigious in the army.

"Well, Muhalle, what do you think?"

Although Luo Bu Zang Danjin is an ambitious man, he is not incompetent and mediocre. On the contrary, this man is quite calm and has the appearance of a hero. His face didn't change a bit, he was still calm and solemn, but when he pressed his hand, he made a soft noncommittal sound, which stopped the generals from saying anything, turned his face slightly, and cast his eyes on the man standing on his left hand. A middle-aged general who ranked first, pondered for a while, and asked a question quite politely.

"Khan, the general thinks that the Qing army's offensive will have to wait for General Alten's report. It is too early to figure out how to deal with it. According to the general, it is better to stick to the original plan for defending against the enemy. .”

Muhare is the wise general under Luo Bu Zang Danjin. The strategy of defending against the enemy in front of Lao Yaguan this time was formulated by him. There is only one intention at all, and that is to try to use the geographical advantage of Lao Yaguan to consume the strength of the Qing army. He has vitality and morale, and after the Qing army is exhausted, he will conduct a decisive battle in the wild. Because of this, he naturally does not want his own strategy to be confused by the generals.

"Well, well, let's just wait and see."

Luo Bu Zang Danjin originally wanted to find out the bottom line of the Qing army before making a decision. Hearing Muhare's statement now, he would not have any objections. With a wave of his hand, he made the final announcement with pride. decision……

"Report, Mr. Buba, a large number of Qing troops have been spotted eight miles ahead, and they are rushing towards our camp at high speed!"

There are two flowers blooming, one for each, not to mention that Quining and his artillery battalion are listening to the sound under Lao Yaguan, nor that General Luo Bu Zang Danjin is waiting for the battle report of Lao Yaguan in the golden tent, but he said The day before yesterday, Bagari Gexia, who was severely taught by Ke Luntai, was eating lunch in the Chinese army tent, holding a leg of lamb, and was eating himself vigorously when he saw A report horse rushed into the tent, one knee on the ground, and reported in a loud voice.

"What? How many people are here?"

In the battle the day before yesterday, Gary Gexia lost more than a thousand people, but only killed three Qing soldiers. An order was issued to gather all the troops scattered to the counties to collect food and fodder, more than [-] troops, intending to respond to the invitation of the Waixiersu Tribe to block the back road of the Keluntai tribe. Before he had time to act, he suddenly heard that there was another army coming from the direction of Lanzhou. He couldn't help but panic, dropped the leg of lamb in his hand, and asked questions with his eyes wide open.

"Master Huibuba, I dare not count the details. It is estimated that the cavalry should be more than [-], and the infantry should be around [-]. Judging from the banner, it should be the same group as the weird cavalry from the day before yesterday."

Seeing that Gari Gexia's expression was not right, the reporting horse did not dare to ignore it, and hurriedly reported the investigation results.

"So many? Damn it, hurry up, order the whole army to close the gates of the camp and stand firm!"

The 9000 cavalry of the Qing army were already so fierce and difficult to fight against. This guy came with [-]. (The actual strength of the Qing army should be [-], including [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.) Garry Ge Xia's heart should be empty, since he dare not go out to fight the battle, do you have the intention to withdraw his troops and leave? Most of the plunder in the past half a month is in this big camp, and Gary Ge Xia really can't bear to give it up. Let's go, after the eyes rolled wildly for a while, he was still obsessed with money and planned to stick to the camp, hoping that the Qing army would just pass by as before.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

General Gali Gexia issued an order, and his own trumpeter blew the order for emergency assembly. Amidst the bleak sound of the horn, the officers and soldiers of the Tibetan army who were scattered for meals in the camp suddenly became a mess...

"Order the troops to speed up and make sure to arrive at Taiping Town before sunset tonight!"

In the wilderness to the northwest of Lanzhou, the main forces of the First Division of the First Army of the Qing Army and the First Division of the Cavalry Army were rushing towards Taiping Town. Although it was almost noon, Yue Zhongqi did not order to rest, but continued to Leading the troops in a hurry, there is no one else, and the Ba Nuan Sanchuan Battalion has already sent back an emergency letter-the Xining defenders of the Waixieersu Division have sent [-] cavalry to try to retake the Ba Nuan Sanchuan Battalion. The whole army is unable to hold on, and this battle will inevitably add infinite variables. Yue Zhongqi cannot bear such responsibilities. Because of this, even though he himself is quite hungry and tired, he still ruthlessly orders the three armies to speed up go ahead.

"Report to the commander, a camp of Tibetan bandits was found six miles ahead, and the bandit chief Gali Gexia gathered more than [-] troops to guard the camp!"

Haste makes waste seems to be a truth that applies everywhere, no, just when Yue Zhongqi ignored the exhaustion of the soldiers and drove the army with all their strength, a horse galloped from the direction of Taiping Town. It brought a piece of news that made Yue Zhongqi frown.
