Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Chapter 107: The Mighty General Zuo Baogui (2)

The Qing army, with only a hundred or so men, was unable to stop the Russian army from coming forward. Even after their rifle muzzles had been burned, they were still unable to stop them. Hundreds of Russian soldiers were pouring in, and how could they be stopped by just a hundred or so rifles? What's more, there were more than a dozen cannons behind the Russian army!

Watching the Russian army approaching, Zuo Baogui knew that the final moment had arrived. Death was not scary, but the promise he made to the military commander was scary! A man's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. No, even if it is ten thousand pieces of gold, he will never return it! The military commander has been so kind to him!

Zuo Baogui took a deep breath, drew his sword again, and growled, "Left Wing Battalion, attach bayonets! Prepare to charge!"

Seeing their captain so fearless and the brothers under him even more united in their hatred of the enemy, is their own life more precious than the captain's? As long as the captain is not a coward, then the brothers will accompany him through this hellish gate!

Zuo Baogui roared angrily and rushed out first. The hundreds of people behind him also rushed out and launched a bloody attack on the Russian army with bayonets!

There is nothing more brutal than war. Although guns and cannons are more spectacular, compared with the bloody bayonet fights, they always lack a bit of ruthlessness and tragedy!

Zuo Baogui was numb at this time. He didn't know how many Russian devils died at his hands. Anyway, he was covered in blood, and the blade of the fine steel sword in his hand was bent. If he hadn't held on for a breath, he would have fallen to the ground and couldn't move!

However, he must not fall down. He is the backbone of the brothers behind him. If he falls down, it will be completely over!

Zuo Baogui was still waving the saber in his hand numbly, fighting desperately at the Russian army, his vision blurred by blood and sweat. In less than half an hour, there were only less than thirty Qing soldiers in the left wing camp who could stand on the entire position, and the rest were either killed in battle or seriously injured and fell to the ground!

The Russian vanguard has already reached the last line of defense of the Qing army. If this line of defense is broken through, they will be able to face the main force of the Qing army in Vladivostok!

Commander Andreevich felt a little relieved. As long as they rushed forward, it wouldn't take long to reach Vladivostok. Surely, with the navy's support, Mushavyev was still fighting...

However, before Andreevich could relax, the sound of dense gunfire rang out in the distance! Faintly, a large army appeared in the distance!

It’s the Qing army!

Andre recognized it at once in the dim light!

A trace of unease welled up in Andrei's heart. How could the Qing army arrive so quickly? Had they already defeated Mushavyev and occupied Vladivostok? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Although they were defeated, Vladivostok's defenses were strong, and with the support of the navy, no matter how powerful the Qing army was, there was no way they could have captured Vladivostok so quickly!

However, it was clear that the Qing army's reinforcements numbered at least a thousand people! They were definitely the main force of the Qing army!

Yes, it was indeed Liu Ye who personally led the army to arrive!

Rushing in the front is Gao Qi’s central army!

Gao Qi took the lead and rushed into the battle group first. He rushed towards the Russian army with the steel knife in his hand without caring about his life. His horse was fast and his knife was swift. He attacked ruthlessly. Several Russian soldiers were knocked to the ground cleanly and neatly. Teams of Qing troops behind him also rushed up and launched a fierce attack on the Russian army!

The Russian army was about to completely occupy the position, but before they had time to rejoice, they were driven back by the Qing army again!

Not only that, the unlucky Major Battalion Commander Smirnov was the first to be hit and was knocked to the ground by Gao Qi with a single knife. The Russian army could not withstand the fierce attack of the Qing army reinforcements and retreated one after another. The entire position was once again taken back by the Qing army.

Andreevich was so angry that he kept cursing, "It was just this close! Damn it, damn it! The Qing army arrived just in time!"

But now the Qing army has arrived, and its strength is no less than that of the current Russian army. This time, there is a battle to be fought! What troubles Andreevich the most is whether Vladivostok has really fallen. If it has, then there is no point in rushing to support Vladivostok. It is even more meaningless to compete with the Qing army here. Aichun and Vladivostok have fallen one after another. In the entire east of the Ussuri River, only this fresh force is left. If his army suffers any losses, then the entire area east of the Ussuri River will truly change hands!

In this situation, the right thing to do is to retreat first and preserve your strength!

However, what if Vladivostok has not been lost yet? This is just a Qing army tactic to surround and attack reinforcements. What should I do then? If Vladivostok is lost because I didn't get reinforcements, then I will be held responsible!

Andre was now in a dilemma. On the opposite side, Liu Ye had already reached the position of the left wing camp. At this time, Zuo Baogui was completely carried back by Gao Qi, and the rolled steel knife in his hand was still tightly held!

"General! This Brother Zuo is truly ruthless. He has killed so many that I can't even tell friend from foe. Just as I was about to approach him, he chopped me down with his sword. Fortunately, I'm quite skilled, otherwise I would have been killed. He also has a steel sword, which he held tightly, and I couldn't get it away no matter how hard I tried..."

Gao Qi said with a wry smile, his eyes full of admiration for Zuo Baogui. This is a real man, a real warrior! Tiger Guard!

Liu Ye hurried over and took Zuo Baogui. Zuo Baogui had just regained some consciousness at this moment and said in a low voice, "General, Baogui has fulfilled his mission!"

Liu Ye gently patted Zuo Baogui's shoulder. Zuo Baogui now had no less than three serious injuries and no less than six minor injuries on his body. His right hand had become stiff from holding the knife for a long time, and it was impossible for him to put the steel knife down!

Liu Ye shouted, "Alright, Guan Ting, don't say anything. Get someone to bandage your wounds immediately and rush back to Vladivostok for treatment! Leave this to us! Gao Qi, prepare for a big fight! This time, we're going to make a complete mess of the Russians and pay tribute to our fallen brothers!"

Zuo Baogui shook his head stubbornly and replied, "General, the battle is not over yet. I will never leave this battlefield. I will stay here even if it means death! More than two hundred of my brothers and comrades have died in this battle. If I can't see the Japanese die with my own eyes, I will die with regret! Even if I can no longer wield my sword, I will stand here and cheer for my brothers!"

Liu Ye looked at Zuo Baogui deeply and shouted, "Alright! Brother, wait! Today, I will let you see with your own eyes how to avenge our fallen brothers! Send the order, artillery ready, full army attack!"
