When the sun rose, the people of Geely finally breathed a long sigh. The difficult day passed, and they never felt the sun is so wonderful. Although it is possible to meet people during the day, it is not so difficult. .

"General!"

Barclays, commander of the Geely Expeditionary Force, just got up when he saw his chief of staff rushing over.

"How many more positions were lost?"

Lieutenant General Barclays asked naturally, he is now used to losing a few places every day.

"The gateway to Kachin Mountain is lost! Shall we send someone to take it back?"

Miller looked a little ugly.

"Go! Must go!"

Barclays stunned and then yelled, completely lacking the composure before. No wonder the bombardment last night was so urgent.Only when Miller turned around to make arrangements, he stopped him again.

"and many more!"

"Miller, forget it! People are very capable of defending positions. Even if they are taken back, they will suffer too many casualties, so there is no need."

Barclays sighed and said, now he is very eager for reinforcements.

The Yuan army in Barclay's mouth is coming to Miandian, with a Bengal division in the north and an Asan division in the north, and two local divisions in the Gili country and an Asan division in the south.

Their powder cakes are also in response to the offensive of the Qing Dynasty. Now Xu Bangdao is leading the 11th Division to launch an offensive against Mandalay. Other Qing troops and rebels have assembled to the south to attack the Qincha Pass.

With a total of 120,000 people, the local troops of the Geely Army alone reached 60,000.

Due to the disadvantage of being surrounded during the war, Mandalay and Qinchaguan had no news at all, and they could only rely on their positions to hold on.

On a rugged yellow mud road, the Geely army is advancing fast.

"All to cheer up Lao Tzu. Those bastards have surrounded the empire's army. As long as we surround them before the fall of Qincha Pass, they will be selected into a desperate situation."

This time, Gordon, the commander-in-chief of the support troops, was riding on a group of maroon horses, waving his whip and urging.

"General Barclays is really old. He was so embarrassed by a gang of monkeys that he kept urging the country to send reinforcements."

Major General Henry, the deputy commander of the 15th Division beside him, smiled:

"Haha! Maybe what he said is true! I also hope that people are really so strong, so that they can see the strong army in the Geely Empire."

"The Sudanese and Egyptians are not honest anymore. If they are too weak, I would like to deal with those Africans!"

Gordon glanced at him and said.

"According to the information. There are nearly 70,000 people in the Miandian three divisions. They are the fifth division, the eleventh division, and the eighteenth division. The fifth division is the main force of the first-class division, and the eleventh division belongs to the second division. The strongest one among the waiting teachers."

Major General Henry watched the division commander and commander-in-chief look at him and began to speak.

"Why don't you talk about Miandian people? There are still about 80,000 people at the gate now!"

Gordon said with a smile, but a trace of disdain flashed across his face.

"Commander, please stop joking, that 50,000 people from the Miandian gang killed more than 10,000 people in the Kachin Pass, which was guarded by 3,000 people! Do you think they have combat effectiveness?

"Even if they are equipped with the most advanced muskets and cannons, they are still a group of lambs waiting to be narrowed. It's just a little troublesome!"

"On the contrary, the fighting power of human beings deserves our attention. The third division and the Bengali division are probably 50-50 when facing them. This is really our sorrow. Monkeys can fight!"

Major General Henry despised the people of the will in his heart, he believed that all this must be the credit of the people of the will.

"Indeed! They are no longer the country where thousands of us can break into their capital city!"

"I'm really worried now that the Qincha Pass will not be able to guard it!"

"Let the other troops speed up. I can't wait to fight with those people."

Gordon took the picture from his staff and began to look.

"It is the fastest now. The 16th and 22nd divisions are still more than two hundred miles away from us. If they march quickly, it will affect the combat effectiveness, in case..."

Hunter was taken aback for a moment and raised his concerns.

"It's not easy to arrive at the same time. Let them march in a hurry first, let them wait at Chimbi, and conquer all the ships to transport them over! Just wait in front of us."

Gordon said with a slight smile.After speaking, he handed Hunter the map.

When Henry looked at the map, it was only three hundred miles away from Camby to Mandalay or Chincha Pass. If they were transported by boat, they could recover their strength on board.

"But doing so will call for merchant ships, and the Governor's Mansion may not agree to it."

He hesitated for a while and still said.

"It's war now! It's not playing games. What happened to the merchant ships? I also asked the warships to cooperate. Is it because these things put our army at a disadvantage? Let's talk about it when we win."

"They will get enough compensation from people at that time!"

Gordon glanced at Henry and said:

The Miandian Rebels insisted on taking the Qincha Pass and returning to Mandalay. For them, the mountains in the north could not be as rich as here, and the restoration of the capital city was of great significance to them.

Although Zuo Zongtang did not advocate doing this, he had to help them attack Qincha Mountain for the so-called unity of the tribe.

The two sides of the Qing Dynasty and Geely under the Qincha Pass were fighting fiercely for a position.The battle was cruel, and both sides' Internet access continued to increase. They were both exchanging their lives for time. The Geely Army hoped to defend this place before the Yuan Army arrived, while the Qing army had to take it before their reinforcements arrived.

The position of the Geely Army seems to be shaky, but they still have more than 20,000 people. They are used for constant consumption in this kind of offensive and defensive battle. It is really impossible to transfer thousands of people from Mandalay...
