Chapter 930 Fighting Gedeng Mountain ([-])
"Great Khan, the army of our Great Russian Empire is fighting bloody battles. Now that we are about to break through the enemy's front line, should your troops also make a move?"

Although before the start of the war, he had vowed that the Russian army could conquer the world, but when the war was going against the grain, Grand Duke Gagarin didn't care about his bad reputation of rebellion. Hearing what the messenger said, he immediately became unsteady Yes, with a gloomy face, he leaned over to Tsengwan Arabtan's side, and suggested a word in a gloomy tone.

"Um……"

As early as last year when the Southern Xinjiang was defeated, Cewang Arabutan knew that the Qing army’s firepower was extremely powerful, but what he knew was only what others told him, and his impression was hard to say. Today is the day when he really saw the Qing army’s artillery fire The ferociousness of this battle has already made me feel guilty in my heart, and I am not very optimistic about the prospect of such a field battle. I don't want to use the elite cavalry that is already small to die for nothing, but these words are not enough. It’s good to say it in front of Grand Duke Gagarin. After all, the two sides are allies now. If we really want to make it clear, it is difficult for each other to have a single-minded confrontation with the enemy. Butan just let out a light noncommittal, frowned, and made an embarrassing contemplation.

"Khan, it is not too late. If our Cossack cavalry's attack is frustrated, this battle may be difficult to fight. I also ask Khan to order the march immediately. If not, our army will have to withdraw to the country!"

Grand Duke Gagarin is not a qualified soldier, but he is definitely a seasoned politician. How can he not see that the pretentious gesture of Allah Butan is playing a trick of delay? Got up, and bluntly issued an ultimatum.

"No!"

As soon as Grand Duke Gagarin's words of such a run came out, Cewang Allah Butan became a little unsteady, nothing else, once the Russian army withdrew, the Junggar army's current strength is not the Qing army at all. The opponent, the destruction of the country was just a matter of a moment, so he didn't dare to keep silent, so he opened his mouth, and was about to agree to Grand Duke Gagarin's proposal, but suddenly he heard a broken drink from the side, and stayed in line with his reputation. When they passed by, they saw that Da Cewang Dun Dobu had hurried up the mountain with several personal guards. Seeing this, Cewang Allah Butan took advantage of the situation and swallowed back the words that came to his lips Stomach went.

"Great Khan, His Excellency Grand Duke Gagarin, this battle cannot continue like this. The Qing dogs are fierce in firepower, and our army is fighting against them in the field. It is really invincible. The only way is to withdraw the troops first, and if we can't hold on, when the rainy season comes, the Qinggou firearms will be difficult to use. At that time, our army can fight and defend at both ends, and I ask the Great Khan to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Since returning to Ili with the remnants of the army, Dace Wangdun Dobu has always insisted not to engage in a decisive battle with the Qing army, advocating the use of guerrilla tactics to force the Qing army back. He was the general of the defeated army, and it was really difficult to win the trust of all parties at the military meeting of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms. He could only reluctantly agree to the decision of the Russian army to fight, but he always held reservations in his heart. Knowing that Lieutenant General Tolsky had backtracked and wanted the Junggar Army to launch an attack as well, Dun Dobuke couldn't hold back, and hurriedly handed over the command to his deputy Tergu, but he hurried to the top of the mountain , and finally stopped Cewang Arabutan's blind decision in time. Seeing the eyes of Cewang Arabutan and Gagarin swept over at this moment, Da Cewang Dun Dobu didn't dare to be rude. He hurriedly bowed and spoke earnestly.

"Absurd. The army of our Great Russian Empire is an invincible army. How can we back down when the victory or defeat is still in the balance? Khan, this man made false statements about withdrawing troops and disrupted the morale of the army. He should be executed!"

Before Grand Duke Gagarin led an army of more than [-] to set off this time, he vowed to make a promise to Peter the Great, who was already sick in bed, not only to defeat the Qing army, but also to annex the Junggar Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate together. The Russian Empire, and in order to achieve this, it is necessary to show the invincible majesty of the Russian army. If the war is delayed until the rainy season, even if the Qing army is defeated, it is difficult to guarantee that the Junggar army will not be wiped out together with the Russian army. Going forward, it was precisely because of such considerations that Grand Duke Gagarin would not agree with the correct suggestion of Dace Wangdun Dobu.

"Your Excellency, Grand Duke Gagarin, don't worry, isn't it just to send troops to attack, so to speak, second brother, return to the headquarters immediately, and mobilize troops to fight the enemy immediately!"

In fact, Cewang Allah Butan agreed with Da Cewang Dundub in his heart, but he didn't want to have any serious conflicts with Grand Duke Gagarin at the time of such a big war, but his eyes rolled , already gave the order solemnly, but there was a tail in the words, and he quietly gave Dace Wangdunduobu a look.

"Yes!"

Da Ce Wang Dun Dobu is a person who is sober, and he can understand the unfinished words of Ce Wang Allah Butan, so he didn't insist any more, and he respectfully responded, and hurriedly went to the army formation down the mountain rushed off.

"Grenade ready, throw!"

Two flowers bloomed, each representing one branch. Not to mention the dispute between Zhuang and Russia on the top of Gedeng Mountain, but the Cossack cavalry rushed forward desperately under the rain of Qing army bullets. Let it go, wave after wave rushed forward, and after paying a huge price, they finally reached a distance of less than fifty steps from the Qing army's formation, which was already threatening the Qing army's artillery position. Seeing this, the commanders of the various brigades did not dare to ignore it, and issued orders to drop bombs according to the drill code.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

With an order, the front-line officers and soldiers took out long-handled grenades from their waists almost in unison, and they were familiar with throwing them with a string. In an instant, tens of thousands of grenades were pouring in. The Cossack cavalry smashed over, and there was a fierce explosion immediately. The ground shook and the mountains were shaken. The area between 50 meters and 70 meters in front of the Qing army array immediately became a death zone. All Cossacks within this range The cavalrymen and their horses were blown into fragments flying all over the sky. The smoke was filled with shrapnel flying everywhere. Many Cossack cavalry rushed into the smoke because they had no time to rein in their horses. The Cossack cavalry, who were lucky enough to rush out of the death zone because of the speed of their horses, did not continue their luck to the end. Before they could reach the Qing artillery positions, they were deployed intensively The machine gun swept into a sieve.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The grenade attack by the Qing army not only stopped the Cossack cavalry's charge, but also became the last straw that broke the camel's camel's back. Facing such an astonishing explosion, Khmelnytsky never Gaining the courage to drive the troops forward, before the smoke of the explosion cleared, he twisted his horse's head in despair, and gave the order to withdraw the troops. A regiment of Cossack cavalrymen finally came to their senses, beat their horses in disorder and fled back. Seeing this, the Qing army refused to give up, and fired another round of bombardment until Killed the corpses of the Cossack cavalry.

"Blow the trumpet and withdraw the troops!"

Da Cewang Allah Butan didn't want to send troops to attack. Although he had to send thousands of cavalry in vain due to Cewang Allah Butan's order, he didn't intend to attack the Qing army all by himself. Instead, he ordered the cavalry to move forward slowly, and when they saw that the Cossack cavalry had been defeated, Dun Dobu issued an order to withdraw troops early. Returning to the starting position in a mess, the Qing army's Cheng Guiwu's troops ignored it, and let the Junggar army come and go freely without firing a single shot.

"Damn yellow-skinned monkey, despicable and shameless, stop fighting, this battle can no longer be fought like this!"

"General Khmelnitsky is right. If the fight continues, our army's artillery will be wiped out. Let's withdraw!"

"Yes, let's withdraw first, let the bastards in Junggar go and face it first, our army must withdraw first!"

……

The Cossack cavalry retreated after such a defeat, and the Qing army returned to the old tactics, constantly bombarding the Russian artillery positions with heavy artillery and anti-aircraft artillery. After several rounds of shelling, the Russian army's artillery was destroyed. The situation of being beaten but unable to fight back really made all the Russian soldiers feel aggrieved. After losing the battle, Khmelnytsky, Wchachafsky and other generals could no longer be stable. They stopped, made an appointment and rushed to the temporary headquarters where Tolski was located, and made a fuss. Although the words were different, they all had one meaning, and that was to withdraw the troops and return to the camp!
"Shut up, daddy!"

Before the start of the war, Lieutenant General Tolsky was full of confidence to teach the Qing army a bloody lesson, but after only two rounds of fighting, the Russian army had already lost more than [-] soldiers, but even the frontiers of the Qing army I couldn't even touch it. The contrast between reality and imagination is too great. Lieutenant General Tolsky was already depressed, and then he was made such a fuss by the generals, and his heart suddenly surged. , Regardless of the fact that the generals are actually on the same level as Tolsky, they cursed angrily.

"If you want to fight, let your first army go, I won't play anymore!"

"Yes, the First Army is not moving, and neither are the old men!"

"That's right, ****, my soldiers are so worthless, if you want to go, go to the first army!"

……

It is true that Tolsky is a lieutenant general, but Khmelnytsky and others are also lieutenant generals. They have the same official rank, and they were not very convinced that Tolsky was the commander of the entire army. After two battles, it was natural that Tolsky was blamed for his poor command. Regardless of whether Tolsky was mad or not, he was still making a fuss...
