Basically, when the sneak attack Qing troops approached ten steps in front of them, the reconnaissance platoon leader, who was still in a semi-crouching posture, had already picked up the AK-74M slung across his body, held the butt of the gun under his arm and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
In a series of fires, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were shot several times. Ye Chu, who was blocked by his men behind him, couldn't stop at all and fell onto the men who were shot in front of him. He instinctively did not get up immediately, so he narrowly escaped disaster. However, behind him, the remaining Qing troops hid in the darkness and continued to shoot long arrows towards the fire.
"Get out! Get out!"
The reconnaissance platoon leader had no time to change the magazine, so he quickly pulled out the pistol stuck in his chest and fired two shots at the left front based on his feeling. "Stubborn Donkey" and another soldier squatted behind the platoon leader with guns in hand, ready to shoot at the Qing troops who rushed up at any time. The others dragged their injured comrades and turned and ran back along the reeds on the river bank.
There were a total of eleven injured Beihaimen, most of whom were injured by arrows in the first round of attacks; they were either shot through the arm or through the leg. In order to ensure the safety of this sneak attack, the Qing army did not use ordinary plum needle arrows, but "Qimei needle arrows". As the name suggests, the arrowhead of this kind of arrow is flat, three feet, one inch and two minutes long, and is specially used to break armor; if the cavalry uses a 120-pound strong bow to shoot from above during a charge, it can shoot through the opponent and nail him to the ground.
As the reconnaissance platoon began to retreat, the Qing army who crossed the river to sneak attack launched a sentinel arrow without an arrow towards the other side. When a roar passed through the sky, a large black figure suddenly appeared on the grassland on the south bank of the Tes River. The general leading the team, Akdong'a, told a soldier: "As mentioned before, everyone should cross the river in order according to the camp head, and they must move quickly!"
If you fire a gun in an open valley, the echo will travel far. Moreover, the people in the reconnaissance platoon did not fire a single shot, so the Beihai navy located on the hills north and south of Chahantuoluohai Station quickly noticed the movement. After the Beihai navy stationed on the hilltop on the south side called many times with a walkie-talkie, they learned that the Qing army was conducting another night attack, and immediately sent two platoons down the mountain to respond.
More than half an hour later, the reconnaissance platoon leader who withdrew breathlessly told the Second Battalion Commander Zhou Zhong what happened, and then said: "Battle Commander Zhou, the enemy's posture is not right! Maybe there is a big move at night!"
Zhou Zhong took advantage of the bright light of the lantern and lay on the map for a while, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Report to the deputy detachment leader immediately. The enemy is likely to launch a night attack tonight!"
After speaking, he picked up the mobile phone and led the guards to the first trench at the front. When he arrived at the position, he first contacted the artillery position behind him and ordered it to fire a flare toward the valley two kilometers southeast.
Zhou Zhong was from Shangqiu, Henan. He came to Beihai Town in the fifty-first year of Qianlong's reign and became a soldier in the fifty-second year of his reign. When he was a child, he studied with a private school teacher in the village for three years. Later, his family declined and he gave up the idea of studying. After joining the Beihai Navy, he quickly stood out among the Henan recruits due to his basic literacy and hard training.
In the 53rd year of Qianlong's reign, after Zhao Xin defeated Tsarist Russia, in order to suppress the island country's naturalized forces in the army, he first took the opportunity to remove Sheng Haizhou, and then vigorously promoted local officers. Zhou Zhong was promoted from platoon leader to two ranks. Became company commander. Later, in the "Battle of Hunchun" and "Battle of Usoliya", Zhou Zhong was promoted by Zhao Xin to become a battalion commander under Hu Ji because he loved to use his brain during battles and completed tasks outstandingly many times.
With a sound of "Boom!", as the flare rose to a height of about two hundred meters, a light brighter than the moonlight instantly bloomed in the sky, illuminating the valleys and mountains within a kilometer of the north bank of the Tes River. It's like daylight.
This move by the Beihai Navy shocked all the Qing troops on the southern route who had already marched to the point where they were only five miles away from their opponents. Whether it was the generals leading the team or the fierce archers, they all stopped like fools and looked up blankly into the sky.
Many Mongolian soldiers were stiff, their eyes were dull, and they kept chanting Buddha and Bodhisattva, praying for blessings. There were bursts of noise in the originally silent team, and many people left the queue in panic, getting into the grass on both sides or hiding behind rocks, as if they could avoid unknown dangers.
Big beads of sweat flowed down the cheeks of Akton'a, the deputy governor of Uliasutai. He watched in confusion as the extremely bright light moved slowly in the sky, feeling not only shock but also fear in his heart. As for the deputy Taiji Punchukdashi beside him, he was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth could not stop trembling, and his legs also started to tremble.
"It turns out that the Northern Pirates really know magic! They can steal the sky and change the day!"
After listening to Punchukdashi's words, Akdon'a murmured: "I heard before that there are many demons among the pirates in the North Sea, but one of them actually did something like this in the middle of the night!"
Although Liu Sheng had used flares when attacking Ninggu Pagoda before, the Qing army in the northwest did not understand the details. So what emerged in Akedong'a's mind was a "demon" with fluttering clothes standing on the top of the mountain where Beihai Navy is located, with an altar in front of him, stepping on the steps, holding a peach wood sword, and chanting words; What flashed in the minds of Punchukdash and most Mongolians was a "Bo" wearing a "multi-pot laga" crown, wearing a divine skirt, divine boots, holding a divine drum, and being possessed by the gods. Uh", that is, the male shaman.
In these days, we cannot expect that most ancient people can correctly understand scientific principles. Not to mention that the immigrants who first arrived in Beihai Town would make a fuss about everything they saw. In order to deal with the cannons on the Thor, the Manchus even used the "Yinmen Formation" "They can appear on the battlefield openly and greet all the evil-doers.
So whenever something new from the Northern Navy appeared on the battlefield, the Qing army's first reaction was sorcery. Qianlong even believed that the biggest demon in Beihai Town was Zhao Xin, so he did not hesitate to use the secret techniques of Bon religion to implement the curse.
The flare stayed in the air for a total of 50 seconds, until it fell to the ground in the distance and went out. Only then did the moon and stars reappear from the black night sky, making thousands of Qing troops feel like they were in a dream.
"Notify everyone and prepare to fight!"
At the same time, Zhou Zhong, who was in the trench, had already seen the Qing army more than two thousand meters away through the artillery mirror, extending into the darkness like a black tide. He first roared a battle alarm, and then when he was about to take another look and contact Mishilang on the north side of the mountain, he immediately discovered that something was suddenly wrong with the advancing Qing army.
The Qing army's troops were originally arranged in two columns, like a giant black snake, but when the flares were launched into the sky, the torso of the "giant snake" suddenly doubled in size, and the original tight formation began to become distorted. Scattered.
Zhou Zhong hesitated for a moment, and a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind. He immediately contacted Mi Shilang and told everything about his thoughts. As soon as Mi Shilang heard a few words, he immediately understood Zhou Zhong's intention. Rather than passively defending, it is better to attack decisively; since it is difficult to fight during the day, then attack at night to defeat the night attack and take advantage of the situation to catch the enemy off guard.
"How many people are you going to send?"
"Two companies are enough!"
Mishi Lang on the other end of the walkie-talkie was silent for a moment, and then said: "I agree! Let's do it!"
On the Qing army's side on the southern front, the deputy commanders Akdon'a and Punchukdashi did not dare to leave anymore. As an experienced general, Akdon'a instinctively felt that the behavior of his team had been exposed. The most important thing right now is to boost morale, otherwise if a camp roar breaks out, there will be big trouble.
In order to appease the turbulent men, Akdon'a and Punchukdashi discussed it, found a nearby mountain col, and lit dozens of torches. The dancing firelight in the dark night gave many suspicious Mongolians a little peace of mind. .
Afterwards, the two men summoned the generals from each battalion. In addition to reaffirming the military law and the reward for killing the enemy offered by Baoning, Akedong'a also told them that armies have always been on expeditions to avoid evil and disaster. Besides, I have been in the army for many years and have always been good at swords and guns. I have never heard of anyone who can win by calling the wind and rain.
"The commander-in-chief made it clear before departure that there are only 800 North Sea pirates in total! They are divided into two hills for defense, and only 400 can be supported on each hill! Are you afraid of only 400 people?! One person is spitting. Can drown them!"
Under the dancing light and shadow, Akedong'a saw his generals nodding one after another, as if their confidence had returned, and then he continued: "Pass on my words! As long as the sergeant uses his life, he can take down the mountain with a drum! Each head will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver! Tell the brothers! We still have nine thousand troops on the northern and middle routes!"
The originally restless mood of the Mongolian archers gradually calmed down with the generals' instructions, and then began to become full of fighting spirit. But with such a delay, more than half an hour passed. Akedong'a looked up at the position of the Big Dipper in the sky and knew that the time to launch the attack was running out, so he ordered each battalion to set off again.
Unexpectedly, a sudden change occurred at this time, and many people in the team were heard saying "ouch", as if something fell from the sky and hit people. However, before everyone could get into a commotion, clusters of flames caused by explosions rose up in the queue, followed closely by a dense rain of gunfire.
boom! boom! boom......
boom! boom! boom......
It’s over! From the moment he heard the explosion, Akdonga knew it was the work of the North Korean Navy. I finally spent a long time spitting, but it was all in vain.
Immediately afterwards, there was another burst of light in the sky, and another illumination bomb slowly rose, but soon after, there were high-explosive bombs that fell on the crowd in the middle and rear ranks of the Qing army. More than 4,000 people lined up in a five-mile-long queue, so the explosion of the artillery shells had no impact on the Northern Navy who was attacking the front team.
In the dark night where explosions and flames kept flashing, this army composed of Mongolian archers was completely in chaos! The sudden blow destroyed their will, and everyone had no intention of resisting; no matter whether they were soldiers or generals, they were all running away in all directions. Such a scene allowed the Northern Navy soldiers who were hiding behind bushes and rocks to shoot without having to aim at all. They only had to keep shooting at crowded places.
There was no one to direct them, and most of the defeated troops rushed towards the rushing Tes River in unison, as if they could escape as long as they crossed the river. However, whether it was cannonballs or bullets, under the illumination of the flares, they turned into corpses floating down the river. Those who were lucky enough to swim across the shore were knocked over on the river beach by bullets fired from the other side just as they wanted to take a breath.
After an unknown amount of time, the defeated soldiers, who felt like they were in hell, finally heard someone shouting in Mongolian: "Disarm and do not kill! Kneel down and surrender! The Northern Navy treats prisoners preferentially!"
Hearing this, the tortured soldiers quickly threw away their weapons, and many even began to cry.
"Don't kill me! Spare your life!"
"I won't fight! I want to go home!"
"Lord Buddha, please bless me!"
Penchukdash, who was soaked all over, lay on the beach on the south bank of the Tes River, not daring to move. Although a few of his soldiers had tried their best to send him across the river, now they all fell beside him.
As the Qing troops on the north bank surrendered in large numbers, the roaring bullets and artillery shells began to chase the defeated soldiers who escaped across the river. The deafening explosions gradually stopped until everything returned to darkness. Punchukdash realized that the opportunity had come, and with a sudden heart, he used his hands and feet to sneak into the grass.
At this time, Deputy Capital Commander Akdong'a was hiding behind a rock in a small mountain col. He was followed by only a dozen personal soldiers, Goshiha. They were so nervous that they didn't even dare to take a breath, because the Beihai Navy's large 18-bead flashlight appeared at this time, and its light could illuminate hundreds of meters in front of them.
There was a "crash" sound, and one of the soldiers accidentally kicked the gravel with his foot. Akdon'a's heart was in his throat.
"Who's there! Come out! If you don't come out, shoot!"
When he heard the loud shout from the Beihai Navy, Akton'a was frightened and his whole body trembled. Just when he was taking a chance and trying to respond with silence, a burst of sparks suddenly burst out from the top of the stone that was half a man tall in front of him.
"Bang bang bang!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Akdon'a's mind, holding his head and pouting his butt, and finally they all turned into one - being alive is more important than anything else.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting! I surrender! I surrender!" As these words came out, the dozen or so soldiers of the Deputy Governor let out a sigh of relief.
"Put down your weapons and come out with your hands raised!"
After a loud sound of metal falling to the ground, Akdong'a, without his helmet and wearing only a chainmail, walked out with his hands raised. His face was covered with oil, sweat and dust. He looked as embarrassed as he could be.
A bundle of ropes was thrown in front of several Mongolian soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered. Before they could be surprised, someone in front of them said: "Tie up your feet with ropes! Is that possible?!"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Fifty in a row, I'll beat you to death if you dare to run away!"
Second Battalion Commander Zhou Zhong did not expect that his crazy action would completely disrupt the Qing army's entire night attack plan. Not to mention that the Qing army on the southern line was defeated, the shock caused by several flares during the attack and the subsequent bombing stopped the Qing army on the northern and middle lines.
How fresh, such bright lights rising in the sky, everyone within a dozen miles can see it.
Baoning, the left deputy general of Dingbian who was responsible for leading the troops on the middle route, no longer wanted to take the back route of the Northern Navy. He knew from the intensive explosions and shooting sounds coming from the distance that the four thousand people on the southern front might be It's hanging.
This makes no sense! Aren't they only eight hundred people? ! Could it be that the news that Fu Bao desperately obtained last night was based on suspicions about the North Sea Pirates' past?
Baoning was completely confused.
