While the Tieler army was heading south in large numbers, General Kuropatkin, the Minister of the Army, personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Tieler Eastern Army.

Although Kuropatling was an officer from an office, he was famous for his brilliant tactics. He participated in many battles in the New Province in the 1980s. However, in the eyes of many people, he was just a small person who could draft documents, embellish and not report good news.

There was even an old senior general who was his senior and said to him: "Remember, you can only be a supporting role. God bless you, don't be the chief one day, because you will never lack determination and strong will. No matter how beautiful the plan you make, you will never stick to it to the end!"

However, His Majesty the Tsar chose him as Commander-in-Chief of the Army. He claimed in the inauguration ceremony: "It is only because of the lack of talents that His Majesty is asking me..."

However, it is not as good as saying that this is a self-modest word or a fact? Everyone remembers that when he was on a mission to Liefeng for two years, he had no response to Liefeng's emergency preparations. He was arrogant and believed that "one iron soldier can definitely fight three Liefeng soldiers." However, with the fierce war in the Far East, he had changed his words and said: "A iron soldier can roughly deal with one Liefeng soldier." In the end, he even said: "If we want to win, we have to take out two people to deal with each Liefeng man..."

His view of the Liefeng people even reached this level of extraordinary progress: "The biggest weakness of the Liefeng Military Academy and the troops is that they do not conduct religious education, the eldest son of the temple, and the officers and soldiers do not pray." What he is most proud of is: "Among the five places he served as the Minister of the Army, the Army has built fifty-one military churches..."

Under his order, the Soriven detachment rushed into the attack while moving, and in front of them was a carefully built fortification position.

The weather in August was still very hot, and Soriven spread out in two columns on the left and right. As the sky was just dawn, two cavalry regiments and three infantry regiments were launched in fan shapes to advance. At dawn, the reconnaissance cavalry of both sides had a small-scale contact.

Facing the Liefeng Army with absolute advantage, the cavalry of the First Special Brigade immediately rode away. About ten minutes later, a dense volley of guns made the Tieler cavalry overturn.

However, the Tiel infantry that arrived later responded to the side of the cavalry and launched a charge in a dense formation. However, as soon as they entered the fire, the Tiel people found that the Republican army was well-equipped, well-trained, dense bullets were sprinkled in the formation like rain, and the team was killed and injured.

"The troops equipped with all Minnie guns..." After hesitating for a while, the Tieler people yelled and rushed up again. Their courage is always worthy of learning from future generations.

Their artillery quickly followed and was about to set up artillery in the original earthquake, but at the moment, an accident happened. "Kill!" Nearly an infantry company had already ambushed near the artillery position and killed it. The two sides immediately fought fiercely.

For artillery, this was simply a disaster! "Caval regiment! Turn, move forward quickly! Charge!"

A cavalry regiment turned hastily, and this is the famous "charge of the light cavalry regiment!"

The Albion reporter sold several miles away described the charge, "We have no tragedy that will be so sad... I witnessed this most violent behavior in the command post of a nearby platform. I think even when Don Quixote rushed towards the windmill, they didn't have such courage. They didn't want to rush forward..."

"Under the rising sun, they carried the morning light. They rushed forward fearlessly under the momentum of unyielding momentum. I couldn't believe that my eyes were clear... These cute people would not charge against the Liu Jun, who was guarding the strong fortifications... Oh my God, this is the most heroic charge in history. They have already divided into two teams to charge... I wish them all the best..."

But as far as the Albion reporter imagined, the Tieler rushed toward the artillery position of the Special First Brigade, where all twenty-four new artillery were arranged, and the Tieler rushed towards the muzzle with ignorance, stepping on the morning glow.

"I watched all this hopelessly, and saw with my own eyes the bravest knights rushed towards the god of death... I promised that this was the most terrifying scene in the world... The enemy's artillery fire roared violently, twenty-four artillery fired at the same time, and the entire position was covered by smoke and flames... Then, the long-range Minnie gun began to fire again... The rows of bullets made many horses and soldiers' corpses appear on the ground at that moment... Many injured or without riders were crying... "

"But the soldiers were still so brave. The first row was knocked down and the second team continued to move forward... They crossed their fear like a storm, killing towards the enemy's infantry formation... It must be pointed out that the twenty-four cannons carefully arranged by the Chinese were extremely dense, and the number of cavalry was getting smaller and smaller. However, the dying calls of those brave soldiers were even more inspiring. All the cavalry crashed into the smoke formed by the platoon with their attacks..."

"But at this moment, the ground was covered with corpses of people and horses. In addition to the continuous shooting of guns, they still hit the bubble..."

"A vaguely, we watched them bravely rushing towards the bayonet formation. The cold light of the sabers made the enemy tremble. They collided with the enemy's infantry. We clearly saw them attacking an infantry company that crossed the Chinese in one fell swoop, and then turned to kill him..."

"But the Chinese artillery still can't let go of these warriors, and they were killed and injured again..."

Under the short charge, there is a small interesting story here. The regiment commander Teplov lost his soldiers during the charge, but after rushing into the enemy's formation, he considered that the responsibility of a senior officer was to command, and the specific combat was soldiers and subordinate officers, so he immediately changed his horse's head and rushed towards his own position.

At this moment, a brave soldier stabbed him in the thigh with a bayonet. Although Commander Teplov had a shiny sabre in his hand, he thought that "it was extremely unconventional to kill together as a gentleman and a soldier", Teplov even disdained to swing his sword to resist. He rode his war horse and walked through the enemy's defense line without squinting, and returned to his own position.

Of course this is just a little movement in this remnant era of gentlemen's war. The charge of light cavalry seemed to mark the end of this charge. Six hundred and seventy-three people charged, one hundred and three hundred and forty-seven people were seriously injured, four hundred and seventy-seven horses were killed, and forty-two were injured. Everything in the land could only be described as a disaster.

But after that, the front line stabilized. In an hour of battle, the Tieler people paid the price of more than 200 deaths. The seriously injured were twice the dead, and the Taiwan First Special Brigade also paid nearly 100 casualties.

However, after this battle, reinforcements from both sides became famous. After reports from the Albion people, the "charge of the light cavalry" caused a sensation in the entire Western world. In many times in the future, the Liefeng people asked the Tiel people from Northern Manchuria to add cavalry to Hebei instead of the urgently needed infantry.

On the side of the Liu army, Taiwan's First Special Brigade also achieved extremely high honors, "not only well-equipped, but also fighting." According to Liu Jingxiao's intention, the missing links were quickly filled. During the entire war, the Taiwan's First Special Brigade always maintained a super-organized state of 2,000 people, and then he dared to let go of the troops in the battle.

At this time, the attack of the frontal Fierce Feng people was very unexpectedly and smooth. They advanced fifty kilometers two days ago and only encountered a very weak resistance. Qianwang Shendu Zhongzuo said in this diary, "This is a happy march... the enemy is frightened..."

Even the North China Army and the Base Camp expressed extreme optimism about the ending of this battle, but on the third day, when they arrived in Cangzhou, the battle suddenly became fierce.

Cangzhou Beishan Fortress became the first goal of the two sides' struggle. The defense mission of Beishan Fortress was the Liu Army organized the Second Independent Guard Regiment. The predecessor of this regiment was the newly formed troops in the 89th year of the Republic. The battle was still possible. After that, it was the main force of the 23rd Division of the Alliance Army. The Second Independent Guard Regiment was equipped with 2,800 soldiers and forty-two artillery pieces.

On the night of August 16, the 4th Division of the Liefeng Left Wing took advantage of the heavy rain to launch a rush at night and launched a fierce attack on the Republican army in the outer positions of Beishan Fortress. However, the defenders were stubbornly defending the dead and the two sides fought hard, and the Fourth Division suffered many casualties.

After dawn, the First Division also participated in the battle. All four regiments belonging to it took shape, and the outer positions were broken through. Before dawn, all the defenders of the front positions retreated back to the fortress.

At 5:30, the Liefeng Army gathered most of the light and heavy artillery to bombard the fortress. Countless shells penetrated through the morning fog and bombarded violently, and the whistling sound was always heard.

The Liefeng people actually concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces to bombard the ground, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle. It was not until around 9 a.m. that the Liu army's artillery was suppressed.

At around 8 o'clock, the Liefeng people first used an infantry brigade to attack tentatively, and then at 8 o'clock, an infantry regiment lined up in a large array of infantry formations and attacked.

But at this time, the Liefeng Army discovered the terribleness of the Beishan Fortress. This small hill was built like an iron bucket by the Liu army. The entire fortress consisted of Yongbei and Semi-Yongbei fortifications. The entire fortress consisted of eight forts and three fortresses. In addition, two infantry trenches were dug, connected to each other with traffic trenches. There were obstacles such as horse-rejecting, ditches, etc. in front of the two infantry trenches.

The Liu army used favorable terrain to form a firepower net with grenades and rifles, which made the corps of the Third Division repeatedly blocked. They fought fiercely for an hour and were not halfway up the mountain. Until 9 o'clock, the Nanshan artillery was suppressed by the Liefeng Army, and there were even three artillery guns on its left wing position that could continue to fight.

Qianwang Shendu, who was negotiating and fighting on the front line, immediately ordered the Fourth Division to launch an attack. A corps of the Fourth Division had rushed up before the order was issued.

The two corps attacked in two groups, finally breaking through the first trench and attacking the second line of defense along the terrain. However, at this time the disaster finally landed on the Liefengren.

Meng Dingguo arranged an artillery group in the rear. The group suddenly opened fire and suddenly fired 2,000 shells in a short period of time. The fierce firepower caused Liefeng Army to be unable to raise its head.

The 3rd Liefeng Division and the 4th Division were killed or injured under the shelling. A large number of corpses and wounded were abandoned everywhere in front of the Beishan Fortress. A lieutenant of the Liefeng Army who participated in the battle recalled painfully: "The bottom of the valley here and the hillside there were dead bodies..."

The battle was very fierce. Ding Ning, who was in charge of the front line, excitedly informed Meng Dingguo at noon: "Dingguo, you have the first meritorious service. The enemy has retreated on all sides, and even some artillery has been abandoned. Now only a few artillery are still continuing to shoot our position. In this battle, artillery will rank first in the first meritorious service..."

After hearing the news at the position, Meng Dingguo was so excited that he almost jumped up. He took out the wine glass he had treasured for many years and raised his glasses with the officers to celebrate.

At 13:00 p.m., the Liefeng Army began to attack again after resting. This time, the target of the artillery bombardment turned to the infantry trenches. These trenches were bombarded by dense artillery fire, which could only block rifle bullets and could not withstand the dense artillery bombardment. The first-line infantry suffered heavy casualties and were forced to retreat.

The Liefeng Army immediately launched an attack, but on the two trenches were flat and open, the Liefeng people could only attack in a dense formation again.

However, the obstacles in front were still partially not damaged by artillery fire, so that the troops piled up the obstacles and made it difficult to advance. At this time, the light and heavy firearms of the Liu army on the mountain opened fire. For example, the First Regiment of the First Division organized three commandos to attack the position three times starting from 15 o'clock, but died in front of the obstacles. Due to excessive casualties, they were forced to stop attacking.

In order to cooperate with the first wing, the third wing charged again, but as soon as he rushed to the obstacle and ditch, the two squadron leaders were shot dead. Nearly half of the soldiers were killed and injured, and only a few soldiers jumped into the ditch, but they were shot dead before they arrived at the fortifications.

Under such circumstances, the Liefeng Army used artillery to destroy fortifications. In just twelve hours, the Liefeng people actually consumed 11,000 artillery shells and hundreds of thousands of rifle shells. However, by the fifteenth hour, the Nanshan Fortress was still defending and retreating.

The commander of the 11th Army, Aimizu Saburo, was very anxious when he watched all this. He launched nearly ten hours of attack, attacking an infantry regiment with three infantry divisions and using 240 artillery against several inch artillery pieces, but it was still useless and he did not even open the breakthrough.

The artillery reported that the bomb was lit by 16 o'clock, and at 17 o'clock, he urgently joined the rear of the army and supplemented some ammunition. At 18 o'clock, he refused the suggestion that the military staff retreated and temporarily rested. Aimizu Saburo issued an order to the troops:

"Each division has overcome all difficulties and attacked the enemy! Until the last bullet is exhausted!" While the Tieler army is heading south in large numbers, General Kuropatkin, the Minister of the Army, personally served as the commander-in-chief of the Tieler Eastern Army.

Although Kuropatling was an officer from an office, he was famous for his brilliant tactics. He participated in many battles in the New Province in the 1980s. However, in the eyes of many people, he was just a small person who could draft documents, embellish and not report good news.
