Chapter 354 Hell Valley

"Bastard, you bastards, God, get out of here!"

Karekin roared incoherently.

He already knew why the Mongolian soldiers had escaped. The yellow-green fog behind them was slowly floating with the wind. The Mongolian soldiers kept staggering out in the fog, and then fell to the ground while coughing desperately, reaching out to this side in despair as if the drowning person was desperately praying for help. The same desperate screams in the fog were also constantly floating with the wind...

He is not a fool, so he doesn't understand that the fog is poisonous.

But the problem is that they are crowded in a canyon that is not yet fifty meters wide, and there are trees all around. There is also an ice-clad mountain stream in the narrator. In fact, there is only a mountain road less than five meters wide in the middle. This place cannot hide at all! The fog is floating towards us, and he cannot see the edge of the width at all. He does not think that the trees will block the terrifying fog. Now the front of the fog is less than one hundred meters away from him. The best choice at this time is to turn your head and run as far as you can. But the problem is...

He looked around and lamented desperately like an old farmer whose crops were shoveled.

The defeated Mongolian soldiers around him filled every gap near the Cossack cavalry, and were fighting with the Cossack cavalry. From time to time, the Cossacks were stabbed from the horse by bayonets, and from time to time, the Mongolian soldiers were killed by sabers. What made him speechless was that many people seemed to forget that the poisonous fog was approaching. At this time, the entire valley was like the market of the Han people, crowded with people and horses, and dead bodies were stepped on their feet, cursing, screaming, gunshots, the collision of sabers and rifles, the sarcasm of war horses, and the chaotic sounds mixed together, which was a complete disaster.

run?

How to run?

Not to mention running, he couldn't even walk forward.

Karekin roared in despair, aimed the short gun at a Mongolian soldier next to him and pulled the trigger. Just when the opponent fell down, he simply abandoned the war horse. With his tall and large body shape, he waved his saber and kept chopping down the Mongolian soldiers blocking the road one by one. Even Cossack, who was also blocking the road, finally cut off the bloody road and ran desperately towards the mountains and forests next to him.

No matter what the fog is, as long as it is fog, it will not float to the top of the mountain.

His experience is correct.

But unfortunately...

Suddenly, a harsh whistling passed over his head. Before he could react, a black shadow fell ten meters away. Then an explosion flashed with a fire, but the power of the explosion was not very strong. Except for the recent blowout of the two soldiers, others were not affected. He could even see a shrapnel as big as a palm, dragging a yellow-green smoke trail and hitting his war horse, but it did not cause any damage, and then it was bombed to the ground.

He was confused.

But the yellow-green fog that kept coming out of the shrapnel instantly woke him up.

"Damn it!"

Karekin screamed in shock and hurriedly covered his nose and continued running away.

However, at this moment, the same whistling in the sky above his head was densely whirling, and the same explosions continued to sound. The yellow-green poisonous fog spread unscrupulously like the thick fog of Lake Baikal in the early morning. The screams and coughs in the poisonous fog immediately sounded densely. The entangled Mongolian soldiers and Cossacks fell one after another. Even Karekin was covered by poisonous fog. Although he covered his mouth and nose with his clothes, it was obviously useless. Then he smelled a spicy and pungent smell, and his eyes were also as painful as being splashed with pepper water. He screamed, but he inhaled more poisonous fog, and the scorching burning sensation began to spread from his lungs in an instant.

He coughed like crazy, kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, his nose kept flowing, and he kept spitting out pink foamy phlegm with blood.

That was his internal organs being corroded by hydrochloric acid and hypochlorous acid.

On top of his head, rockets filled with liquid LV were still falling down. The poisonous fog spread between more than three thousand Mongolian soldiers and one thousand Cossack cavalry. At the same time, under the blow of the wind, he continued to move northward along the valley, swallowing more and more Cossack cavalry. The Cossacks behind him were also frightened. These extremely brave barbarians on the battlefield had natural fear of this thing beyond their understanding. Looking at their companions who kept falling down in the poisonous fog, they turned around and ran without hesitation. But the five thousand cavalry dragged out a long team, and the last one didn't even know what was going on ahead. They were still moving forward at a normal rhythm, colliding with those companions who were running back in a hurry, and spreading from front to back.

At this time, the Cossacks had actually collapsed.

This time they suffer, they are being squeezed into a valley. If they were in the plain, these poisonous gases would not make them mess like this, but under the restrictions of the environment, the valley became their hell.

"What a pity. If you kill it at this time, it would be fine to wipe it out."

Xu Ming said with some regret.

Ming Jun did not have a gas mask, and this kind of thing consumed a lot of rubber. It is not yet qualified. He can only use alkaline water towels for some primary protection. Therefore, he will never dare to enter when the concentration of toxic fog is high. Anyway, this is chlorine and not the e-e gas. Alkaline water towels are still good for low-concentration chlorine. In this case, it is impossible to kill in and knock down the water dog.

"It's no big deal, it's the same as when the air dissipates."

Guo Hong said.

Indeed, it's the same when the air dissipates.

Half an hour later, the Ming soldiers could have leisurely carried their swords and stabbed them one by one. Starting from Nanguan, the valley that stretched nearly three miles long, there were dying Mongolian soldiers and Cossacks everywhere, which was shocking. There were not many people who were fumigated here. After all, the mortality rate of chlorine gas was not that terrifying, but not fumigating did not mean they could still move. In total, more than 6,000 people fell in this area, including 5,000 Mongolian soldiers and more than 1,000 Cossacks. They could not run, they could not stand up, and they could not move weapons. No matter how brave the soldiers were, they could only lie in their own phlegm and snot and tears, struggling in despair, watching the swords stab into their hearts.

Six thousand people, none of whom were spared, all turned into dead souls under the sword of the Ming cavalry.

"Let's go, then kill the Tartars!"

After cleaning up the battlefield, Guo Hong immediately got on his horse and pulled out his sabre and pointed forward.

Behind him, the four thousand Ming cavalry immediately activated the war horses and continued to advance along the dead bodies everywhere. The torrent of iron hoofs quickly arrived at Beiguan.

This place is also called Jinsuo Pass, which forms the North and South Pass with Nanguan. The Jinzhong Basin connects Shangdang's throat. After passing Beiguan, Zihongkou is the Jinzhong Basin with Taiyuan as its core, but this last line of defense is empty. Originally, this was the second line of defense prepared for the Nanguan Guards, but the entire Nanguan Guards were wiped out. The Cossacks, who were defeated by the qi, took away the only hundreds of defenders. A cavalry brigade passed Beiguan without bloodshed, and soon chased the defeated Cossacks out of Zihongkou and officially entered the Jinzhong Basin.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Hong's military commander pointed directly at Qi County.

At this moment, the news that he took the risk of attacking or could be said to be greedy for merit and advancement also reached Qinzhou. Chen Sheng, deputy commander of the 17th Infantry Brigade who stayed in Qinzhou, ordered an infantry battalion stationed in Qinzhou to immediately go north to reinforce, and at the same time sent people to inform the brigade headquarters in Linfen and the telegraph station of Guangping Prefecture, and they reported to the First Army and the Northwest General Administration Office respectively. Due to distance, the first person to get the news was definitely the brigade headquarters of the 17th Brigade, and a wired telegraph to Xi'an had just been set up there, and soon the news was transmitted to the Northwest General Administration Office of Xi'an through the current.

As a result, the Northwest Administration made He Jin furious.

Although attacking Taiyuan was not his job, and the First Cavalry Brigade was not his subordinate, he didn't care about the division of responsibilities at this time. Anyway, Lu Yi had no extra troops to reinforce Guo Hong, not to mention that the west of Taihang Mountain was originally his jurisdiction, and if something happened to the First Cavalry Brigade, his responsibility would not be able to escape.

So, under his order, the 15th Infantry Brigade, which was originally preparing to advance west in Xi'an, went north to reinforce, and at the same time ordered the 17th Infantry Brigade to attack north immediately to restrain the Qing army. The three garrisons of Liaozhou, Huozhou and Pingyang also joined the ranks of attacking north to force the Qing army to be unable to concentrate their forces against the First Cavalry Brigade. Even the Zezhou, Lu'an, Puzhou and other garrisons, which were originally mainly suppressing bandits, received the order to go north to reinforce, so that the southern line, which was originally not the main direction of the attack, immediately ignited a raging war.

At this time, the first and second cavalry battalions to the First Cavalry Brigade had already entered the hinterland of Jinzhong in two directions.

Guo Hong was not stupid. He only had a cavalry brigade and did not know if reinforcements came from behind. The whole brigade went out to commit suicide. He left two battalions to dig trenches at Zihongkou to build a base to defend and release the other two battalions. The Jinzhong Basin was less than a hundred miles wide. The cavalry ran quickly for a morning and let the two battalions raid and not attack the city. They just wandered around and spread the news of the Ming army's attack throughout the Jinzhong Basin. It would be strange if the Han people who were squeezed by Yinzhen during this period could hold back.

To put it bluntly, he set fire and made the entire Jinzhong Basin ignite the anger of resistance.

His subordinates were responsible for disrupting Yinzhen's army mobilization, completely paralyzing the traffic in the southern part of the Jinzhong Basin. People here rebelled, and the Qing army suppressed there could not be transferred. It would not take long for this area to be completely in chaos. On this side, the 20,000 Manchu-Mongolia coalition forces confronted the Ming army in the Fenhe Valley were finished. They could not have been able to block the strong enemy in front of them without any fire, so that the 17th Infantry Brigade, Huozhou and Pingyang's garrison could come in.

"Then we can go straight to Taiyuan."
