Chapter 56: Great Meaning (3)

When luck comes, the flood cannot stop it. Liu Mingchuan, who has been observing the enemy situation nervously, did not notice what happened behind him. The enemy in front is about to start attacking, and those are two thousand cavalry.

"Woo wow, whisper." I don't know what the young man next to the Living Buddha was calling? Mom was speaking in Tibetan. Liu Mingchuan understood at all, and was still thinking about whether this young man was frightened by too many enemies on the other side. But when he saw Boss Liu running to him happily, he was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time. It was because Liu Mingchuan had a premonition that something had happened.

When he turned around and looked back with Boss Liu's trembling hand, Liu Mingchuan was also shocked. I don't know when countless people appeared on the other side of the shore, including all kinds of people, including old women. Liu Mingchuan put down his telescope and rubbed his eyes. This time he believed that many people came to the other side of the shore.

In addition to the Tibetan soldiers who rushed to the front and called weapons, the Tibetans behind were a little mixed, such as mowing sickles and feces. The most outrageous thing is that there was a woman holding a jar. Can the jar kill people?

Liu Mingchuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and shouted loudly at all the soldiers: "Brothers, look back and see, our reinforcements are here. Fight me well and show their might." The soldiers turned around and saw everything on the other side, and immediately let out a roar that was shocking.

At this time, the pursuers in front of the high ground could not see what happened on the other side of the high ground, and the cavalry were ready. After the order was issued, the six hundred cavalry began to charge and began their journey of death. At this time, the reinforcements on the other side also began to put down their rafts in the river and began to cross the river. Liu Mingchuan and the others only needed to stand for these few minutes, and everything would pass.

It has to be admitted that the opponent in front is really a good player who is good at using cavalry. After a three hundred-meter run-up, the speed of the cavalry's war horse was exerted to the point, which greatly accelerated the speed of the cavalry after entering the range of the rifle.

After shooting for only three rounds, the cavalry on the opposite side had already rushed to a distance of 150 meters from the position, which made Liu Mingchuan complain secretly. Fortunately, the three huge pits and mounds of earth played a role in slowing down the cavalry at this time. Some of them had no time to collect their horses and simply fell into the pit. The soldiers were shooting at almost the fastest speed. In this way, there were still two or three hundred cavalry rushing up from a place without any obstacles.

The one who rushed in front was immediately shot down by a dense bullet, and then a continuous explosion formed a death line of about 100 meters away from the position. Liu Mingchuan really admired his soldiers, who actually came up with this way to deal with the cavalry, but this method really consumed grenades.

This sudden death belt caused the charger to fall into a brief terror, but the cavalry who had already killed red-eyed rushed to the high slope regardless of casualties. They did not notice that this explosion not only knocked down more than 200 people at once, but also shocked a large number of horses. The charge formation began to be chaotic. The dozens of cavalry rushing in the front were only fifty meters away from the position, but there was a gap of 100 meters behind them.

The reinforcements who were paddling a raft across the river asked the war horses to swim across the river with the raft. The river surface was not wide, but the water flowed rapidly. It took more than ten minutes to spend the nearly twenty meters of the river surface.

Perhaps it was because he saw that the offensive formation was already in chaos, and the opponent actually issued an order to retreat, obviously he wanted to reorganize the formation before continuing the attack. Afterwards, Liu Mingchuan once ridiculed his opponent and said, "The dull British!" Liu Mingchuan said that this was one-sided. If there were no reinforcements, after the next charge, this would be the grave of him and his brothers. The Bailai infantry against two thousand cavalry is basically a dish for others. Organizing the formation and attacking can reduce casualties in the troops. Running around on the battlefield will only affect the attack of others.

When the opponent was sorting out the formation, hundreds of reinforcements had already arrived. After they got ashore, they immediately stepped on the war horses and lined up.

With the confidence of winning, the chasing cavalry began to charge again. When they rushed to the front of the position for the price of being killed and injured hundreds of people, they found that hundreds of cavalrymen were sprinting towards them at high speeds appeared on the opposite side. The guys hiding in the ditches that were big black guns were lying in the ditch at this time, allowing the war horses behind them to cross over their heads.

The collision between the cavalry was like two huge icebergs. After a violent collision, it immediately scattered into countless pieces. After one collision, hundreds of people fell to the ground and the two sides strangled each other and strangled each other.

The commander among the pursuers discovered the changes in the situation here and knew that the opponent's reinforcements had arrived. When he was about to charge in the follow-up troops, he found that the opponent's cavalry was constantly appearing behind the high ground, and it was too late.

Barran, who had rich combat experience, immediately decided to retreat, which prevented the destruction of the entire army. If he saw countless people rushing across the river on the other side of the river, Barran would definitely be glad that his decision was so wise.

The pursuers withdrew, in front of the peaceful smile of the living Buddha. The excited Tibetans worshiped the Buddha and praised the Buddha's blessing and blessed the sacred living Buddhas of their hearts without any harm.

The retreat of pursuers is temporary. This is a good barrier in this area. Anyone with a little brain knows that Liu Mingchuan dares not stay any longer and protects the living Buddha and crosses the river. The river is not fun at all.

The white Hada, the fragrant butter tea, the sweet and sour horse milk wine, the singing and dancing girls, the Tibetans entertained these heroes who bravely saved the living Buddha in every way they could think of.

The letter asking Shi Dakai to send troops immediately has been sent out. What we need to do now is to use this river as the defense line and defend this front is victory.

On the border, when Liu Mingchuan and his friends received reinforcements, Yang Yi also arrived at Dege's military camp.

Although Shi Dakai was a little worried about Yang Yi's appearance on the front line, he also knew that he could not let Yang Yi stay in Ganzi at ease. This was what Shi Dakai reported to Yang Yi at the first time. This can be said to be absolutely good news, but Yang Yi was still worried that Liu Mingchuan and the Living Buddha would run away together, so can he run away safely on the way?

Soon, Shi Dakai showed his military talent. He first told Yang Yi that he had sent a small team to the reception, which could be said that Liu Mingchuan left and the small team followed him. This undoubtedly made Yang Yi and Shi Dakai look at him again. Judging from the time of sending the letter, how did the letter be delivered in just one day and one night? However, the letter was indeed written by Liu Mingchuan, which shows that the Tibetans have a unique way of communication in their own territory.

When Yang Yi asked Shi Dakai to prepare to send troops immediately, Shi Dakai's answer made Yang Yi even more relieved. Not only were all preparations done, but a regiment of the First Division of the First Army, the most elite First Army under Liu Mingchuan, had already set off yesterday.

Yang Yi had to admit that Shi Dakai was defeated by his own equipment and his prediction of the current situation. However, in terms of military response, Shi Dakai was no less than any general under his command. But Yang Yi didn't understand why Shi Dakai, the history of history, killed more than 100,000 troops for the sake of his child?

The First Division can be said to be the troops of Yang Qiong's family. Its predecessor was the new army that suppressed the Xiaodao Society in Shanghai. However, the force of a regiment was still a little less, and new equipment was being transported here continuously. Yang Yi immediately asked the First Division to select a battalion, immediately replaced the equipment he brought, and added his own guard battalion to form a temporary reinforcement battalion to accompany enough horses. Yang Yi asked them to go to the front line as quickly as possible. Now what Danzhu Living Buddha and supporters want to see the most is undoubtedly the figure of the Chinese government army.

Strictly speaking, these Tibetan soldiers cannot be considered an army at all. Even the convex guns are equipped with 2,000, and the others are all cold weapons and big swords. The key problem is that these ethane Tibetan soldiers have not undergone regular training at all, including 14 or 15 years old and 50-year-olds.

The first thing Liu Mingchuan did when he accepted the troops was to invite the elderly and children out of the troops and let them do logistics. Sanger also had more than a dozen local cannons. Liu Mingchuan was quite arduous when using these dozen local cannons. The range of these local cannons was really limited. They were simply targets for rebel cannons in the bright spots, but they didn't need to be wasted. Liu Mingchuan had to use the bunker to cleverly hide these cannons. When they were fighting, they would make a profit. Tibetans didn't understand digging trenches, and in war it should be

Everyone was riding horses and chopping together. However, with the support of the living Buddha, they could only accept it. Liu Mingchuan arranged a thousand troops on the front line of positions, and the main defense force was the Tibetan soldiers holding a combroach. The second-line position was the main blocking position in Liu Mingchuan's mind. Five thousand cavalry as commandos waited for the rebels to attack them halfway. This was also the most reasonable use of these troops. The main force of the defense on the second line of defense should be the soldiers of the ten small teams, and one thousand Tibetan soldiers equipped with combroaches.

Everything was ready. Liu Mingchuan prayed that reinforcements would arrive soon, but he also hoped that these mobs would block them for a few more days.

The artillery fire caused huge casualties to Tibetan soldiers. More than 200 Tibetan soldiers died, and more than 100 were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. Before the Tibetan soldiers could be sad, the rebels began to cross the river. The river water seemed to be helping. The water that was usually waist-deep is now at most. Looking at the rebels crossing the river, Liu Mingchuan was so depressed.

The rebels scattered and rushed towards the other side.

"Even this can do it." Liu Mingchuan cursed and immediately asked those local cannons to fire. It would be considered as if they had been knocked down. The local cannons were hidden very well, and the rebel artillery did not find the existence of local cannons.

"Boom boom boom" After a few loud noises, the local cannon finally fired. Unfortunately, the local cannon was playing solid bullets. After a few splashes of water on the river, he did not see any rebels being hit at all. Instead, he was immediately retaliated by the rebels' artillery fire. Fortunately, Liu Mingchuan had already ordered the gunners to set off two cannons and flash them, so as not to prevent the rebels from hitting them and even put themselves in.

The first batch of rebels had already begun to land and were immediately blocked by the conflict guns on the position. After a burst of gunshots, dozens of rebels were finally knocked down. Liu Mingchuan scolded with hatred: These idiots did not let them shoot, and they were very active. Seven or eight hundred people were injured in 50 opponents in one round of shooting, but more than a dozen were knocked down by the rebels' rifle counterattack. This battle was not a solution. But Liu Mingchuan seemed to have no better way. Although the Tibetan soldiers were very brave, the guys at hand were really behind. Before they could fire two shots, the rebels had already rushed to the position. At this time, the Tibetan soldiers burst out with an energy that shocked Liu Mingchuan. They threw away the conflict gun, picked up their long swords and rushed towards the rebels. A hand-to-hand battle began.

Standing for faith The courage shown by the Tibetan soldiers shocked Liu Mingchuan, but also shocked the rebels. The two sides fought hand in hand on the beach for nearly an hour, and finally continued the rebels' first charge.

The victorious Tibetan soldiers cheered and hid back to the trenches without being there. Liu Mingchuan was anxious and immediately ordered everyone to return to the position, but it was still slow. The rebel artillery ruthlessly enveloped these warriors in the sea of ​​fire, and Liu Mingchuan was in distress and all the worries of Liu Mingchuan came down.

The first line of defense lasted for only three hours before being forced to retreat. In less than half a day, Liu Mingchuan was forced to take out his magic weapon. Liu Mingchuan kept telling himself, I will tolerate it, I will tolerate it. Seeing the rebels crossing the river one after another, there were hundreds of rebels crossing the river. Liu Mingchuan ordered the cavalry to attack.

Without artillery support, this may be the hardest battle that Liu Mingchuan fought in his life. Without artillery, he had to use his troops to evade the rebels' artillery fire. This was really hard work. There was no way to suppress the rebels' artillery fire, so Liu Mingchuan was forced to hide the cavalry in the distance. When the cavalry came out from behind the hidden high ground and came up at the rebels crossing the river at high speed, he was immediately intercepted by the rebels' artillery fire. Seeing one cavalry after another being overturned by artillery fire, and they had to move forward without moving forward, Liu Mingchuan's heart was bleeding.

After the three thousand cavalry crushed the rebels' attempt to cross the river, only half of the troops came back. How many half of the three thousand were there in Liu Mingchuan's hands? How long can it last? Liu Mingchuan began to doubt himself, why did he agree with the opinions of the Sanger Tusi and Danzhu Living Buddha and put the front line. In fact, as long as he steps back, these casualties could be avoided, but why did he be lucky at that time?

Liu Mingchuan had no time to think too much, so he had to bite the bullet and hold on. Seeing this, the second line of defense could not support it for long. This difficult day finally passed, and the night made the rebels stop the attack. Without the cover of artillery fire, they did not attack rashly. This day was difficult. In order to block the rebels from the other side of the river, Liu Mingchuan paid more than half of the Tibetan soldiers and more than fifty Chinese soldiers. There were only two thousand cavalry left. After more than a dozen nearly suicide charges, they persisted until dark.

The quality of Tibetan soldiers is not high, but the spirit of sacrifice they show to defend their faith is something that no opponent dares to underestimate. Look at the position. Almost no Tibetan soldiers fight until the last moment. The direction they fall is in front. No matter how cruel the opponent is, they will fight to the end as long as they entangle the opponent. The scene of one life for another is repeated again and again. Even veterans like Liu Mingchuan admired him. They used knives, guns, and even teeth to block the rebels on the other side of the river. The rebels also paid the price of more than 2,000 casualties.

It was dark and Liu Mingchuan, who had been tired for a day, had no desire to sleep at all. He was just constantly working his brain to try to find a way to solve the problems he would encounter tomorrow.

"General Liu, sometimes as long as you do it, you don't have to care about the result." I don't know when Danzhu Living Buddha appeared next to Liu Mingchuan.

"Oh! It's you, the Living Buddha. Why did you come to the forefront?" Liu Mingchuan quickly greeted the Living Buddha.

"General Liu, I know you are sad, and I am the same, but have you seen that the warriors sacrificed with a smile. Death is a sublimation of the soul for them." Danzhu Living Buddha seemed to want to comfort Liu Mingchuan with words, but unfortunately Liu Mingchuan had been trained by Yang Yi to become a materialist. Liu Mingchuan was considering how to hold on for another day, how to defend the position before reinforcements arrived, and how to ensure the safety of Danzhu Living Buddha. He didn't care much about these spiritual things.

"Living Buddha, for your safety, you should leave Suo County with Sanger Tusi." Liu Mingchuan was almost begging.

"No, I will not leave at this time. When my Buddhist believers use their lives to defend the Buddha, I will never leave." Liu Mingchuan was completely desperate, and the old bald donkey was not in trouble at all. Liu Mingchuan originally wanted to trick the living Buddha into leaving, and then he also took the others to retreat. It would be better than resisting here. Wasn't it the same when the large army comes back and then dealt with the rebels?

Seeing that Liu Mingchuan didn't speak for a long time, Danzhu Living Buddha smiled and laughed happily. It made Liu Mingchuan feel a little turbulent, but he couldn't get angry, so he had to continue to remain silent.
