Chapter 672: Shocked
"The front was blocked by the Liaodong Army, and the troops had exchanged fire and asked for reinforcements. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
My trip was originally to fight the Liaodong Army, and it is not surprising that the Liaodong Army has a blocking force. But what shocked and incomprehensible to the co-commander was that according to the speed of the march, the forbidden army and the Mongol cavalry should have rushed outside Tongliao City one step ahead of themselves.
If these 10,000 elites have already rushed to Tongliao City, and there are still Liaodong Army blocking troops outside Tongliao City, then the reason for this is a bit intriguing.
The adjutant general next to him also reacted at this time, and asked with a puzzled face: "Why is there still the Liaodong Army outside the city, is it that the forbidden army and five thousand Mongolian cavalry have not yet arrived?" ”
The co-ordinator shook his head and replied: "There is no news, and Ben will not know the specific situation!" ”
"The biography will order, send all the scouts out, and give me all the surroundings to investigate, I want to know where we are now!"
"Also, order the forward troops to break away from contact with the Liaodong Army, and the whole army is ready for defense. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, I have a very bad premonition, something must have happened in Tongliao City that we don't know. ”
The Beiyang Army did not advance to attack Tongliao City, but put on a posture of defending on the spot. This was obviously different from the battle course that the Liaodong Army had predicted, but the guard regiment that had blocked the Beiyang Army was not worried at all.
Organizing defense on the spot means that the 5,000 Beiyang Army will have to shrink its troops. Although it increased the ability of the Beiyang Army to meet the enemy in the face of surprise attacks, it also reduced the difficulty of the guard regiment to surround them.
On the battlefield, the Beiyang Army, which stretched for nearly two kilometers, began to shrink its forces, and had already set its sights on their guard regiment, and then began to shrink the defensive line and narrow the encirclement.
After the 5,000 Beiyang Army was completely blocked by the First Army Guard Regiment, the co-commander, whose face became more and more solemn, finally received a steady stream of investigation results from the reconnaissance troops.
"What, you're sure you're telling the truth. A large number of war horses and Mongol corpses were found five or six miles away from us! After listening to the scout's report, the co-ordinator's first reaction was not to believe it, and he grabbed the scout's clothes and asked.
"The humble post is sure, and the seven or eight brothers under the humble post can also see it clearly, the battlefield that stretches for several miles is full of Mongol and war horse corpses, layer upon layer, at least three thousand." The Scout replied in the affirmative.
At this time, the adjutant general next to him also reacted, and said to Xietong's face with a miserable face: "General, if what he said is true, then has the five thousand cavalry drawn from Mongolia by the imperial court been wiped out by the Liaodong Army?" ”
"Impossible, more than 5,000 cavalry, even if they are ambushed, they can't be wiped out so quickly, and there is no news at all!" The co-ordinator subconsciously retorted.
The deputy will continue to insist on his opinion and said: "If the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry has not been destroyed, then how can the Liaodong army that blocked us outside the city explain. According to the order, five thousand cavalry must have gone ahead of us to Tongliao City. If there are 5,000 cavalry outside Tongliao City, how dare the Liaodong Army deploy troops outside the city, isn't it waiting for the cavalry to slaughter? ”
"There are also bodies found by the reconnaissance team. Thousands of cavalry, except for the five thousand Mongolian cavalry who were ordered to reinforce Tongliao, I really can't find where there will be so many cavalry! ”
At this time, the co-ordinator had no other words or reasons to refute than silence.
At this moment, another bad news was transmitted by the reconnaissance team.
Less than five miles from here, a huge makeshift military camp was found, and the barracks were littered with the corpses of the forbidden army, no less than 2,000.
Hearing this news, the co-ordinator subconsciously thought that the five thousand forbidden troops sent by the imperial court were also finished.
Because, in the entire territory of Tongliao, except for the 5,000 forbidden troops just sent by the imperial court, there are no other forbidden army troops.
The 5,000 forbidden army is over, and the 5,000 Mongolian cavalry is also over, and the only 5,000 troops are not a lone army, but also a lone army on the territory of the Liaodong Army.
Thinking of this, Xietong's face suddenly turned pale.
The Liaodong Army can eliminate 5,000 forbidden troops and 5,000 Mongolian cavalry in a short period of time, so it is absolutely not a problem to destroy 5,000 Beiyang Army. Maybe at this moment, he has become the fat meat that the Liaodong Army bites in his mouth, and he can give himself a lethal attack at any time.
"Retreat, the whole army will retreat immediately, and we will go back wherever we come from." The co-ordinator subconsciously ordered, his words full of firmness.
The adjutant general was also aware of his current situation, and as soon as the order to retreat was issued, he began to arrange for the retreat of his troops.
The 5,000 Beiyang Army, the rear team changed to the front team, and the front team changed to retreat, and after walking for less than five minutes, a series of gunfire rang out in front, and in the middle of the dense gunfire, there were also several dull shell explosions.
The co-ordinator subconsciously knew that he had suffered that his back road was blocked by the Liaodong Army.
Sure enough, the anxious-looking co-commander had just waited less than two minutes before the forward troops sent the news that the road had been blocked by the Liaodong Army.
"Attack, order the forward troops to immediately launch an attack on the Liaodong Army, and we must open up the way for us to retreat." The co-ordinator of the pre-sensing test immediately ordered.
As soon as the herald left, the assistant commander said to the adjutant general beside him: "You are here to command the follow-up troops, and I will go to the front to take a look." If we can't open the way to retreat as soon as possible, the longer we drag on here, the more Liaodong Army will besiege us. When the time comes, you won't be able to leave if you want to. ”
When the co-commander arrived at the front, a battalion of the Beiyang Army had already begun to attack.
Under the cover of seven or eight light and heavy machine guns, five or six hundred Beiyang troops held rifles and lined up in a skirmish line, screaming and pressing towards the humble position of the Liaodong Army.
In the eyes of the co-ordinator, even if this attack cannot be broken through, it can put a lot of pressure on the opposite Liaodong Army.
Because, judging by observation, there were more than 1,000 Liaodong troops blocking in front of him. And because of the limited time, there was no time to repair the blocking position. Many Liaodong armies relied on the terrain to block attacks on the spot, and they did not even have the most basic trenches.
However, the fierce firefighting scene after the battle broke out directly shocked the co-ordinators.
As soon as the attacking troops rushed 300 meters in front of the formation, the Liaodong Army opened fire, and as soon as they came up, more than a dozen heavy machine guns opened fire together.
In the face of the counterattack firepower of the Liaodong Army, his seemingly fierce covering firepower was directly pressed to the point that he couldn't raise his head, and he didn't even have a chance to shoot.
There were no light and heavy machine guns to provide fire cover, and soldiers armed with rifles alone were slaughtered during the attack.
But, perhaps in order to deter the Beiyang Army in the encirclement, the beating trap in front of them did not shoot at the infantry, but at the artillery.
Dozens of mortars, and at the same time fired shells at the Beiyang Army. As soon as the violent explosion sounded, the Beiyang Army in the middle of the attacking force was blown up in pieces.
