Chapter 58: Sichuan-Tibet Fengyun 5 In the Battle of Anqu

Fifty meters!

Forty meters!

Thirty meters!

Sonam Rob rushed up this time with five hundred people. His idea was to test it with a small number of troops first.

After understanding the virtuality and reality above, he invested his elite force and took the top of the mountain with an uninterrupted offensive.

"boom!!!"

The roar of cannons sounded around the top of the mountain. At this time, ten cannons were roaring. Each of the two hundred kilograms of cannons could burst out a pack of thirty pieces of lead. After being shot out of the cannon chamber, it could form fan-shaped killing within a range of 45 degrees up and down and twenty meters!

Such a tactic is something that these Tibetan soldiers who have been trapped in front and back for a long time cannot understand. The kinetic energy contained in the shotguns shot from top to bottom cannot be resisted by the fish-scale armor on the hidden soldiers. Within twenty meters, a large area fell down instantly. The fan-shaped barrage was not taken care of. There were soldiers with flintlock rear-mounted rifled rifles aimed and attacked.

There are also eye-catching things. When the cannons and the muskets sound, they quickly lie on the ground. However, that would be useless. The barrage can be covered with forty-five degrees above and below, left and right. Unless you have a cover, even if you lie on the ground, blood holes will appear on your body and head.

Of course, it is impossible for ten artillery to eliminate them all if they want a wave of five hundred people. First of all, the barrage formed by just ten small cannons is not enough to completely cover all hillsides. In addition, the Tibetan soldiers are also thick when attacking upwards, and the soldiers in front naturally blocked most of the lead.

But Han Hai Army has a second and a third one!

After three gunfires, about 30% of the 500 people were killed or injured in this wave. This was accustomed to fighting protracted wars and frontal wars. Both sides used the cold weapons in their hands to kill them. The Tibetan soldiers who had been fighting for a long time had never seen them. After the three gunfires were fired, the remaining soldiers, including Sonam Rob, rolled and crawled back to the hillside.

After thinking for a long time on the mountainside, Sonam Rob adopted a new tactic, and this time he joined a thousand people at once, holding shields in front to block the archers behind, and the warriors holding spears and big swords at the end.

Another upward attack began. This time they obviously learned the lesson from the last time. When they climbed up, they all lowered their bodies. With the shields, it took about half an hour before they could approach the range of thirty meters again!

At this time, the archer in the middle took the lead in shooting.

"boom……"

This time, the cannons on the top of the mountain roared again, but this time they were fired all live ammunitions, and thirty four-pound live ammunitions rushed towards the dense group of shields in a flat manner!

Most of the shells hit the shield directly, some penetrated the shield, and brought a blood mark behind the shield, while others did not penetrate the shield, but the powerful kinetic energy brought the shield and the crowd behind them all down!

All thirty cannons were roaring!

This time, Sonam Rob did not retreat. With the sound of the yak horn with a strong plateau style, all the unaffected soldiers stood up and rushed up!

At this time, Yang Tingyu's soldiers needed to reload ammunition. Since they were small cannons, they would definitely be able to load them before the enemy arrived at a distance of 30 meters. However, when a large number of enemies surged up, more than 300 people fought hand-to-hand with many enemies, which was not a good choice no matter how you looked at it.

"call……"

A large area of ​​black objects flew down from the top of the mountain, and sparks were still shining at one end of the object.

When Sonam Rob, who was behind, saw him, he thought to himself: "Is this their wooden rolling stone?"

Just as I was thinking, those "objects" might explode in the air and explode in the crowd, which scared the Tibetan soldiers who were climbing up quickly again.

The enemy not only has wooden rolling stones, but also explosive wooden rolling stones!

"Bang……"

That's not all. The person who was still brave enough to straighten his waist and climb up was immediately shot by the rifled gun. After that, the preparation for climbing up was almost gone, but there was still!

A tall man rushed to the front of the broken wall. He held a shield in one hand and a hidden knife in the other, and rolled into the broken wall!

But that's it. With a "bang" sound, he was shot in his thigh. A sharp pain made him fall. The shield and Tibetan sword in his hand also fell to the ground. Then his neck cooled down, and his eyes turned black and he got the bill. It turned out that the bayonet on the Hanhai Army's musket accurately pierced the neck of his neck with yak skin, cutting off his cervical vertebra.

At this time, Sonan Rob, who had more thoughts, was still halfway up the mountain. However, when he saw someone rushing to the top, his confidence suddenly increased.

"Don't stop, keep rushing up!"

The sound of trumpets and drums rang one after another, urging these Tibetan soldiers to climb up tremblingly.

Soon, they arrived at a place only one step away from the ruins, only about ten meters away!

Sonam Rob behind him was also very happy. His heart was beating wildly, with the joy of winning soon and deep worries.

"boom!!!"

This time, his concern was correct. The artillery fired again. This time, all the loaded shots were shot. At such a close distance, even the shield made of thick wood could not be blocked!

"boom……"

"boom……"

There were constant trumpets and drums on the hillside. The cannons on the hill sounded twice in a row, followed by a large number of grenades that would explode.

At this time, all Tibetan soldiers, who were completely shrouded in fear, were lying on the ground without exception, trembling, no matter how loud the trumpets or drums urged them, which was rare among the soldiers in front and back, because in the past one or two hundred years, although Tibetans were divided, they still had the reputation of Uszang's firm beliefs, firm will, and tenacious fighting, and the Duoganzang (mainly Qinghai) area was relatively weak.

In the past, under the trend of the belief of King Kong to subdue demons, Tibetan soldiers would not easily stop fighting unless they encountered enemies with absolute advantage (such as the Hoshuo Cavalry).

But this time, they all stopped, and the original fear replaced the belief of "eliminating demons and defending the way" and "standing as a Buddha".

In fact, this time, the two thousand people brought by Sonam Rob only lost about 40% of the troops, and more than a thousand were intact. However, under the three-dimensional attack of Hanhai Army artillery, muskets and grenades, their confidence was completely lost.

In the end, Sonam Rob's remaining men curled up and smashed the mountain and couldn't move.

And at the foot of the mountain, the cavalry battle has also reached a critical moment!

Sun Xiugang's chiseling tactic worked. After paying about 300 cavalry sacrifice, his squadron completely penetrated the enemy's formation near Beidaying, and the front team even began to fight with the cavalry coming from Nandaying.

At this time, near Beidaying, the Heshuote cavalry had become rare, and it was the time when the tiger cavalry showed their skills.

Sun Xiugang looked at the sky, although he was a little confused, but he was still confident that the reinforcements near the small fort could arrive in time.

It has been three hours since Yang Tingyu's cavalry sent out the fast cavalry until now. The distance between Anqu and Xiaobao (Hongyuan County) is only fifty miles. If the cavalry is fast, it will be an hour!

Therefore, he had no room for reservation and threw all the remaining thousand tiger cavalry on it!

With the entry of his thousand tiger cavalry, the Heshuote cavalry near Beidaying collapsed. At this time, because the northern road was blocked, there were two thousand Han Navy cavalry who had just passed by "cut through" just now. They either crossed the Baihe River or rode their horses up the hillside, but in short, they were panicked.

However, when the two thousand cavalry in the front fought with the Hoshuote cavalry coming from the Nandaying, the situation was still unclear. After "passing through" the enemy cavalry in the Beidaying, the physical strength of the Hanhai Army cavalry who came to the other end came to a critical point - this is a plateau after all.

Although they could barely confront the enemy cavalry near the Nandaying, no one knew that they could not last long - when the Eight Banners of the Great Wait were waiting for their work, they were all armoured cavalry.

While anxious, another large sound of horse hooves finally appeared in the north.

Reinforcements arrived!

However, on the top of the mountain, Yang Tingyu, who was watching with a telescope, looked a little solemn. Only a team of cavalry came, and the cavalry brigade with the banner should be Hao Yaoqi, and there were no other cavalry behind him!

"If Dayan Khan can come here in person, it is definitely not just this little soldier, but he cannot draw all the Eight Banners of Dangxiong here. If there are still cavalry coming to the vicinity of the small fort, there is only one possibility."

"These Weila people are naturally divided without the oppression of foreign enemies. However, with the great enemy of Daxia, most of the brothers of Qinghai have been mobilized by Dayan Khan. If they come alone, I am naturally not afraid. However, if they come together, there are probably tens of thousands of cavalry. If this is the case, Chen Wensheng will be under a lot of pressure. It is probably not easy to make Hao Yaoqi come over to death."

Despite this, when Hao Yaoqi's cavalry brigade arrived at the battlefield, the Hoshuote cavalry near Nandaying immediately became powerful and finally retreated one after another, retreating to the bottom of the hill where Yankhan and Sonam Qunpei were. The Sonam Rob infantry on the hill halfway up the mountain saw that the cavalry were defeated, and they would not be able to support themselves, so they hurriedly went down the mountain and ran away.

Hao Yaoqi's cavalry brigade was obviously running over with fast horses and probably started fighting without stopping. At this time, it was the end of his strength, and finally both sides returned to the initial situation.

Both armies were defending on a hill and confronted each other about two miles away.

But no matter what, after this war, Dayan Khan lost his troops and generals, and the cavalry and infantry, at least 5,000 troops were lost.

The battle losses of 5,000 people have reached 30%. According to the usual practice of the Pekshuotes, especially Dayan Khan, under such huge battle losses, they must have taken the opportunity to escape.

However, this time, he stopped here for the first time.

Because, just when Hao Yaoqi came over, the Heshuote cavalry came from the small fort.

Dalai Ubash, the fourth son of Gushi Khan who guarded the north of the sea, brought 30,000 Heshuot tribe cavalry and besieged Chen Wensheng's army at the small fort!

In addition, the Pengsuke army, who was still pursuing Handu in Ganzi area, Dayan Khan's military strength was still very dominant, and there were still some fighting in the war!
