Ming Zuo

There are so many mountains in North Korea that it is impossible to have a name for each one.

For combat needs, Xia Jun can only name them one by one.

For the sake of convenience, it is basically determined by height.

Highland No. [-] was the most important defense line of the Qing coalition forces.

This is a narrow and long hillside running from northwest to southeast, with narrow roads formed on both sides and other mountains.

If you want to pass through here, you must knock down the No. [-] highland.

From Xia Jun's point of view, there is only a narrow space to go up the mountain, and it will be attacked from the tops of the mountains on both sides.

This is also the reason why the fourth division has played several times before, but they have not succeeded.

But this time, the Fourth Division used chemical weapons.

Speaking of it, the Qing army is also pitiful.

It was clearly the strongest army at the time, and no matter it fought against any opponent, it was invincible and invincible.

But since meeting Xia Jun, the Qing army has been repeatedly crushed.Facing all kinds of weapons beyond their knowledge, they were beaten badly.

No matter how high the martial arts are, it is still not enough in the face of technology.

Not to mention that the Xia army is superior to the Qing army in terms of military quality, organizational discipline and other aspects.

Therefore, the outcome of the war has already been determined.

Highland No. [-], which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, completely lost its ability to resist under Xia Jun's biochemical weapons.

Xie Qian led the special battalion, like a violent storm, swept away the top.

The wind is strong at high places, and the poisonous smoke dissipates quickly.

But in such a short period of time, a natural hazard has changed its owner.

The Qing army reserve team deployed on the north side of the highland discovered the changes above, and panicked to climb up for reinforcements.

In the end, they were blocked halfway by the special battalion.

Xie Qian kept Bai Xiaoqi's order in mind, and did not stand firm on the mountain, but led the special battalion to launch a counterattack.

This time they were condescending and threw a lot of grenades.

But these grenades did not produce an explosion shock wave, but emitted exactly the same yellow smoke.

It turned out that these were also chemical weapons, specially prepared for special battalions.

The counterattacking Qing army was once again surrounded by poisonous smoke, and there was still no way to deal with it.

The shotgun was reloaded, and the special battalion became a god of death again.

Eight bullets in a wheel will turn into an overwhelming rain of metal marbles within a range of tens of meters after being discharged from the chamber, leaving no dead spots at all.

Behind the special forces, Sui Zhizhong led the main force of the thirteenth regiment, and completely occupied the high ground against the attacks from both sides.

Seeing that Xie Qian and the special battalion had already rushed down, Sui Zhizhong didn't delay.

"Set up the cannons and give me a desperate bombardment. The [-]nd Battalion will stay, and the rest will follow me."

The counterattacking Qing army was crushed by special forces and suffered heavy losses. They were struggling. The addition of the thirteenth regiment immediately broke them down.

On the mountain on the left wing, Ashdar Khan saw that the Xia army easily captured the high ground, and couldn't help dying.

"What is Su Na doing?"

But no one could answer him.

Of course Ashdar Khan understood that the No. [-] highland on the entire defense line was the top priority.If this place is lost, the east and west wings are likely to be cut off by the Xia army and become a situation of fighting on their own.

He saw even more that the Qing army's counterattack had been defeated by the Xia army, and there were no more soldiers in the middle to fight.

"Sakcha, you lead the troops to defend the village below. Hold on, do you understand?"

Sac looked at the location of the village below, and couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle.

The village is very close to the No. [-] highland, and the people on it can completely attack the village from the heights.

But that position is extremely important. If it is lost, the Xia army can raid from the north, making it difficult for the Qing army on the left to escape the end of destruction.

"I don't know how long I can keep it?"

Sakcha lacks confidence.

Ashdar Khan also knew that his order was somewhat unsatisfactory.

"After the army retreats, you can leave on your own."

Sakcha paled.

"If you retreat without the order of the general, you will be punished."

How could Ashdar Khan not know this?
"It's too late. Something happened to Su Na, and there is no news so far. If we continue to delay, we will all die here. Sakcha, we can't die anymore. If the emperor asks for a crime in the future, I will fully bear it."

Sakcha finally understood his painstaking efforts.

What is there to say now?

He hurriedly rushed into the small village at the foot of the mountain with his troops, trying to buy time for the retreating army.

Ashdar Khan turned his head south.

The high ground in the middle was lost, and the one on his side was not secure.

Those Xia Jun seemed to have gone crazy, and they were rushing up bravely.The nearest place is less than twenty meters away.

The soldiers of the Qing army were desperately resisting, and casualties on both sides were increasing sharply.

If there is no accident in the middle, Ashdar Khan is very confident to hold on, no matter how high the price is.

But now that one place is passive and everywhere is passive, it is meaningless for the left wing to persist.

He grabbed the sixteenth Niu Luzhang Jing Mu Ertai, pointed at Xia Jun who was attacking madly, and shouted: "The people who bring you stay here to the death, and you are absolutely not allowed to retreat."

Murtai was simple-minded and fierce in combat, so he didn't think too much about it when he got the order, and just nodded.

The cover and the troops in the rear were all arranged, and Ashdarhan knew that if he didn't run away at this time, he would have no chance.

The horn of withdrawing troops resounded through the mountains, and all the soldiers of the Qing army, who were suffering and trembling with fear, all retreated from their positions under the leadership of the general, and then flew northward along the path.

At the same time, although the right-wing Qing army had not greeted Ashdar Khan, they had the same idea and retreated desperately.

There are more than [-] Qing Dynasty coalition forces in Pingchang, twice the strength of the Fourth Division.

However, the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, as well as the generation gap in weapons and equipment, made the battle overwhelming.

Before he escaped, Ashdar Khan sent his horse back to Hongchuan to report the situation to Dorgon who was guarding there.

On the Pingchang side, as the Qing army began to retreat, Xia's offensive pressure suddenly eased.

The morale of the various ministries was greatly boosted, and they rushed towards the broken Qing army and fought fiercely.

Lu Zhiqian, who was already very dissatisfied with being assigned a feint attack mission, had already made up his mind to turn the feint attack into the main attack.Therefore, he personally led the team and attacked the top of the left wing.

Murtai led the three Niu Lu to resist desperately, and eventually developed into a hand-to-hand battle.

The big knife he swung killed three soldiers of the Xia army one after another, and he found Lu Zhiqian with a single glance.

Although Lu Zhiqian's military uniform is the same as that of ordinary soldiers, he has a knife on his body, which is the unique symbol of Xia Jun officers.

Murtai also understands the principle of capturing the thief first.

With a loud shout, he jumped down from a high place, and the big knife went straight to Lu Zhiqian's head.

There was a thunderous wind behind him, of course Lu Zhiqian felt it.Before he had time to think about it, he immediately swung his gun back to block.

During the violent collision, Lu Zhiqian's palm went numb, and the musket flew out of his hand.

Murtai showed a ferocious smile, and swung the sword round again, intending to cut Lu Zhiqian in half.

Lu Zhiqian stepped back two steps in succession, and found that it was a general of the Qing army, and his fighting spirit was also aroused.

He drew out the accompanying knife casually, and he slashed at it with all his strength.

Seeing that the accessory knife in his hand was long and narrow, and its weight was far from being compared with his own big knife, Murtai felt that he was sure to win.

However, when the two knives collided with each other, amidst the loud crackling noise, Murtai's broadsword was actually broken in two.

This scene made him dumbfounded, and he couldn't figure it out.

But Lu Zhiqian didn't hesitate too much, the blade turned along with the trend, and it was as dazzling as electricity, and chopped off Mu Ertai's head.

Mu Ertai only saw that Lu Zhiqian's sword was light in weight, but he didn't know that this kind of sword was made of fine steel, which was far beyond the comparison of his wrought iron sword.

The huge gap in hardness cost Murtai his life.
