Chapter 28: Linxi's Hard Fight (4)
However, after this failure, the Rouran Army seemed tired of this gainless attack and continued to bombard the Dingbian Army with artillery. Some elite soldiers reconnaissed back and forth outside the limit of the effective range of the rifle.
Soon, although Rouran launched another offensive, the artillery stopped firing. This was impossible. You should know that artillery made of bronze is easily caused by overheating of the barrel. The artillery of the Rouran people has been firing almost continuously for more than an hour. If they continue to shoot, it is very likely that the tragedy of the artillery being destroyed and killed.
The Rouran's offensive also felt a bit distracted. Not only was the size of the troops completely different from the previous time, but the enthusiasm was also completely incomparable. If there was a slight downturn, it immediately shrank.
Liu Jingxiao was also happy to steal a moment of free time. While stepping up the arrangement of defense, she also said a few love words to Wanyan Yuzhuo from time to time. The soldiers took advantage of this skill to slow down and relax, at least relax their tense spirits and drink water. The brave soldier even jumped out of the fortifications and brought back a military horse abandoned by the Rouran people from the battlefield.
Regarding the situation at this time, the "Memorial Collection of Mr. Liu Jingxiao" published in 162 of the Republic has praised it in all respects. The book says "calm and calm" and "as the saying goes, the enemy is destroyed in ashes while chatting and laughing." The actual situation is just a fickle man who wants to please his newlywed wife on the battlefield.
Linxi. Outside the city.
Babuzabu looked at the Dingbian Army huddled in a solid fortification and couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that the Dingbian Army can not only compete with us for bayonets, but also fight with us for grenades, and really underestimated this army."
While he was talking, the autumn wind blew, whirling a few strands of silver hair, which made the Rouran general a little more old-fashioned. Ganzhuerzabu comforted him, "My father, if you really can't attack, why not attack Chifeng? The troops there are very weak, and the defense is also very relaxed, unlike this one that is a hard bone."
Babuzabu shook his head with a confident look and said, "Our power has not been used yet, and they have now used all of their power."
Then he continued to say in a tone that was a bit vicissitudes and a bit passionate, "So I must take down the entire Rehe for you. Although I am old, I have to leave something for you! These belongings are prepared for you!"
It was the first time that Babuzabu revealed the intention of passing the throne to Ganjurzabu. Ganjurzabu couldn't help but feel happy. Babuzabu continued to ask: "How many casualties are there now?"
Ganzhuerzab replied: "More than 500 casualties, three infantry companies can no longer fight, but the three divisions participating in the war are still intact."
Babuzabu put his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Xicheng with a calm demeanor. He said to his beloved son with great confidence: "Good son, just watch me lay this foundation for you with your own eyes."
Linxi, Beiguan.
Liu Jingxiao's good days did not last long. About half a quarter of an hour later, gunfire suddenly became dense in Xiguan, and then the sound of fighting was mixed. Liu Jingxiao couldn't help but worry about the war in Xiguan.
But the fighting sounds in Xiguan were getting higher and higher, and then dense gunfire sounded in every direction. Liu Jingxiao could clearly see the smoke filled the gunpowder.
Compared with Beiguan, the war was relatively easy. Although the Rouran Army launched an attack again, the force invested was only one regiment, and the Rouran regiment was actually three infantry companies, which was basically the same as the defenders' forces. In this case, the defenders did not need Liu Jingxiao to suppress the formation and could solve it themselves.
About ten minutes later, the sound of fighting in Liu Jingxiao's ears became heavier. He was worried about other wars and was not in much mood to flirt with Wanyan Yuzhuo. Wanyan Yuzhuo was also very considerate of her husband. After brushing her hair with her jade fingers, she grabbed Guo Junqing's hand and walked to the side. Guo Junqing originally wanted to push Wanyan Yuzhuo's slender hand away, but for some reason, her heart suddenly softened and she followed Wanyan Yuzhuo to the side and talked about her daughter's thoughts.
Liu Jingxiao was getting more and more anxious. At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded. Liu Jingxiao looked back and saw a messenger running quickly. He didn't even have the military salute, so he shouted to Liu Jingxiao: "We Battalion Commander Xiao can't stand it anymore! Please use the reserve team quickly!"
When Liu Jingxiao heard this, he knew that the situation in the Second Battalion must be quite dangerous. Xiao Rulangsu called him a tiger general. Rufa was unable to support the situation and could not ask for help from him. However, the reserve team in his hand only had one baggage company, and he did not want to use the reserve team so early.
Therefore, Liu Jingxiao frowned and turned her eyes to see Guo Junqing talking to Wanyan Yuzhuo over there. In desperation, she could only say loudly: "I'll go to the formation myself! Junqing, you stay here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Jingxiao jumped on his horse and rushed to Xiguan again. Soon after, Ximen had left. He looked at it and saw that the battle was indeed as he thought. The entire position was filled with a bloody smell. Rouran rebels in yellow uniforms could be seen everywhere, and he was rushing into the gap with high apex. Many places in the entire Xiguan had been broken through by the Rouran army.
The Second Battalion could only retreat step by step. Several small frontier positions had been forced to give up. The unique neighing of both sides was endless. Different figures mixed together to fight. Liu Jingxiao jumped off the horse and asked loudly at the retreating wounded soldiers: "Where is your battalion commander?"
The wounded soldiers were tied with bandages, and most of their military uniforms were stained with blood. They seemed not to know Liu Jingxiao, but just replied indifferently: "Our battalion commander is still on the front line, so you can go find him directly!"
Liu Jingxiao immediately said angrily: "I am Commander Liu Jingxiao! Where are your battalion commanders?"
The wounded quickly held the ocean horse from Liu Jingxiao's hand and apologized to Liu Jingxiao: "Col. Liu, I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you! Our battalion commander is there, let's take care of your war horse!"
Liu Jingxiao thanked him and ran forward quickly towards the direction where the wounded were directed. Rouran had not penetrated here yet, but a few bullets rushed past him from time to time.
However, Liu Jingxiao was lucky and was unscathed. Soon, she found Xiao Rulang and saw dozens of people supporting her. From time to time, someone struggled a few times, then fell down with a painful expression. Opposite them were hundreds of Rouran soldiers.
Xiao Rulang, holding the military flag, shouted loudly, his body covered in blood and his hair was messy, which made him look a little braver from behind. Liu Jingxiao hurriedly ran forward and shouted Xiao Rulang's name loudly.
