Chapter 833: Pun

"It's not your Russian style to surrender so easily." Orski suggested retreating, and Ashur sneered.

Orski was not angry, he said: "The facts will prove it."

He was just a military adviser, and the army of Zhongling Pass was actually commanded by Ashur.

Fight to the death or thoroughly, Ashur has the final say.

Ashur snorted, "Even if we retreat, I will make them pay the price. If one for one is not okay, three for one, or ten for one will also be fine."

After that, he pointed to the front and said to the generals beside him: "We Beidi never surrender to anyone. It's time to prove your bravery."

"Yes, my king." The Beidi generals responded, entered the trenches one after another, and led their soldiers to kill forward.

When Ashur's entire army pressed forward, Chang Wei noticed the changes on the battlefield.

After fighting with Beidi several times, he naturally knew that Beidi people were barbaric and fierce.

"Press forward with the entire army!" Chang Wei narrowed his eyes.

He wanted to see whether their Qin-style rifles were more powerful or the scimitars of the Beidi people were more powerful.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

The drums rumbled throughout the battlefield, which was the signal for the general attack.

"Reserve troops, press on!"

Qin Shan, Guan Tong, and Lu Chang looked forward and gave orders almost at the same time.

"Kill!"

The thunderous roar broke through the clouds, and the soldiers of the royal palace climbed up from the trenches like a torrent and rushed to Zhongling Pass. Gunfire rang out on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the royal palace in the trenches were also immediately encouraged, and a force emerged from their limbs, as if it could never be used up.

They cooperated with each other, some controlled the corridors, and some were responsible for clearing the soldiers in the trenches.

There were also soldiers throwing grenades into the second trench.

As soon as the grenades exploded, they rushed into the second trench and advanced steadily.

Although there were constantly reserve troops from Nanliang and Beidi coming up from behind, facing the grenades and Qin-style rifles of the royal palace soldiers, Ashur's tactics became a refueling tactic.

Every general of the Royal Guards knew that the refueling tactic in trench warfare was the worst tactic.

Facing the fierce firepower of the enemy, sending in waves of small reserve forces for support was like adding oil to an oil lamp, and the oil would continue to burn out.

So, in the end, not only did they fail to achieve their goal, but they also continued to lose soldiers.

Most importantly, they could not achieve their own goals.

So facing the reserve forces that Beidi kept sending in, the generals of the Royal Guards were not worried, but ecstatic.

This was a chance for them to make merit.

Of course, the refueling tactic was not useless, but the premise was that the firepower was equal.

Obviously, Ashur and his men did not have it.

And as the Royal Guards launched a full-scale offensive, this was particularly prominent.

No matter how many reserve forces Ashur invested, they were always eaten up before long.

The Royal Guards steadily captured trenches one by one.

Later, Ashur sent more reserve forces into the trenches to fight for them.

This situation lasted for more than an hour, and five of the eight trenches were captured. Ashur finally realized that something was wrong.

"You are sacrificing the lives of your soldiers, while they are sacrificing only bullets." Olski saw that Ashur looked extremely embarrassed, so he reminded him.

Although Ashur was reluctant to admit it, he finally nodded, and then he said: "I hope you can give some useful suggestions, not just sarcastic remarks."

Olski smiled, "Don't forget what you Beidi relied on to get started."

"Cavalry!" Ashur's eyes narrowed.

Orski nodded, "After passing Zhongling Pass and heading south, there is Jiameng Pass. Only by breaking through Jiameng Pass can we enter Yizhou, and Yizhou is flat and suitable for cavalry combat."

After a pause, he continued, "When the time comes, we will fight the Yan Wang's troops at Jiameng Pass. If we can't resist, we will let them enter Yizhou and use cavalry to fight them. The mountain roads in Yizhou are difficult, and it will be inconvenient for them to transport food and grass, and they will definitely be scarce. When they enter Yizhou, we will let the cavalry harass and burn some of them, and they will collapse without fighting."

Ashur's eyes lit up and he nodded gently, "Well, this is a great idea."

Olski sneered, "This is how our Russian country defeated the invading enemy back then."

Thinking of something, he continued, "But remember to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and don't let the Yan Wang's army get food from the battlefield."

"That's natural." Ashur said.

Then he looked at the battlefield, and the royal army was getting closer and closer.

So he said to the generals: "Leave some soldiers behind to cover the rear, and the others retreat to Jiameng Pass. Remember, we are not defeated, we just changed our tactics. The battle of Zhongling Pass is not meaningless. We at least blocked the Yan Wang army for a while, which bought time for the British muskets to reach Yizhou."

He has always been arrogant, so he would not admit that he was defeated in Zhongling Pass.

"Yes, my king."

After receiving the order, the generals immediately summoned the soldiers to retreat to Zhongling Pass.

The reserve army of Zhongling Pass directly withdrew from Zhongling Pass and headed for Jiameng Pass.

"Humph, escaped."

Chang Wei immediately noticed Ashur's movements, and he snorted softly.

He hoped that Ashur would continue to fight to the death in order to eliminate more Beidi soldiers.

Most of the Beidi soldiers evacuated, and the Nanliang and Beidi soldiers who remained in the trenches were even more vulnerable without the support of the reserve troops.

In less than half an hour, the Wangfu's personal army captured the remaining trenches.

Wang Qiao led his soldiers to rush directly into Zhongling Pass.

At this time, the granary in Zhongling Pass was burning fiercely.

The mixed army of Beidi and Nanliang had already fled and disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, before evacuating, Ashur burned the food and supplies.

Not long after, Chang Wei and Qin Shan and others also entered Zhongling Pass.

They immediately asked the soldiers to repair the city and deploy defenses.

Zhongling Pass was naturally a target in Ashur's hands.

But in their hands, it was an indestructible defensive fortification.

If we take this place, the west gate of Jingzhou will be safe, and there is no need to worry about being attacked suddenly.

"Send this news to Yancheng." Chang Wei ordered.

Their goal is to take Zhongling Pass. What to do next still needs the order of His Royal Highness the King of Yan.

At the same time.

A Nanliang army evacuated from Jianguan was retreating to Jiamengguan in a panic.

The leader of the army was Xiao Cheng.

Ashur guarded Zhongling Pass, and he guarded Jian Pass. This was their division of labor.

However, compared with Zhongling Pass, he was defeated after only two days after Ma Han launched the attack.

Now, his mind is still full of the cruel scenes of the Qin soldiers' attack.

The soldiers of Nanliang were unable to resist the strange attacks of the Qin soldiers, and soon their trenches were broken through.

He kept sending out reserve soldiers for support, but the soldiers who went never came back.

After the fifth trench was broken, his army collapsed directly, and the soldiers no longer obeyed the orders of the generals and fled to Yizhou in a swarm.
