late Qing Dynasty arrest

Fan Dahui saw everyone's eyes on him, and understood how important his words were. Along the way, Li Guolou wanted someone to trouble Li Ziying, but he didn't meet them, and finally vented his resentment on the wolves.There are still 400 miles to go. Will it be dangerous?

"Master Li, after these days of drills, the civilian husbands have taught them patriotism lessons every day, and understand the principles of making contributions to the motherland. I am confident that the first line of defense will be established in the shortest possible time, and the enemy's cavalry will not be able to rush into our convoy. Here, we have more than 3000 people, which is enough to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people." Fan Dahui has always been a big talker, but at this time, how can he make his subordinates look down on him, so he hesitated a little, and assured Li Guolou.

"That's good! Let's go! Go for another three hours and camp at the next Beacon Tower." Li Guolou gave the order, and everyone looked happy, and they stepped down from the Beacon Tower to command their teams.

Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Knife target, put the cordon farther away, be careful to return to the army and pretend to be the Chu army, and you are not allowed to approach anyone who speaks to you. Fire a warning shot. If you kill someone, I will carry it for you."

"Lord Li, with your words, it will work." Saber Yun's face has never been so serious. He was born as a horse thief, and he knew that this place is good for cavalry just by looking at the terrain.If the transport team can't organize fortifications in the shortest time, and if they can't take care of each other from the beginning to the end, they will be mowed down by the cavalry.So he knew how heavy the burden was on him, and the rangers who were dispatched had to warn in advance.He also has the confidence to complete the task. When there is a disturbance, the horse thief is the most sensitive, how can he not smell it?

Rangers should not only be placed ten miles in front of the team to explore the way, but also protect the team's flanks so that the team will not be cut off by the enemy.Being a ranger requires not only superb riding skills, but also excellent eyesight. If the terrain is open, the human eye can see a little candlelight ten thousand meters away.On the top of a high mountain, the eyesight can be expanded by more than 10 times, and the horizontal plane can also be above 3000 meters.

Li Ziying is now marching in the plains, and there are 10 rangers on the two wings, led by a corporal, and each ranger consists of 6 to 8 people.Hu Yinshan is the captain of the caravan "Caimaotang". He used to be a bodyguard of the escort bureau. He was hired by Hu Yangyue with a high salary to guard the caravan. How can a capable person have nothing to do along the way?Hu Yinshan volunteered to be a ranger.Now Hu Yinshan is five miles away from the transport team with five rangers, protecting the west side of the team.

In Liao, Yungao, two hounds kept sniffing the wet ground. The ice and snow melted a little in the afternoon, and the worms that had spent the winter in the soil were dug out by the hounds with their paws and devoured in one bite.

You ride on the vast yellow land. This is the turning point of a river. The water flow is relatively gentle. Not far up is the confluence of the big river and the small river.On a hillside hundreds of meters away from the river.There is a dilapidated earth temple. The walls of the temple are mottled and scattered, and its original color cannot be distinguished for a long time.

Hu Yinshan was a tall and bearded man with a burly figure. Huang Huan immediately had a stabbing gun and a Mauser sticking out, a big knife stuck in his back, and two flintlock guns stuck in his waist. Red silk, wearing a gray military uniform, with a hood and a helmet on his head, looks no different from the soldiers of Li Ziying.

Now that Hu Yinshan has obtained a complete set of military equipment from Li Ziying, Hu Yinshan has everything he needs.After a few days of self-satisfaction, I have new goals, to receive awards for meritorious service, to get a Browning pistol, to learn from my classmate Su Yuanchun in Xinwutang, and to fulfill my long-cherished wish as soon as possible.

The other five rangers were also dressed in the same way, none of them wore cotton coats, two of them were covered with short sheepskin jackets, and their saddles had wolf fur cushions, which showed their bravery and boldness.

"Hu Tou, go up and have a look." The speaker was holding a stab gun in his hand, and there were two javelins stuck behind him.

The name of this ranger is Fang Zhiyong, who was originally a Sidaogang hunter. He has a thick beard and looks about 40 to 20 years old. In fact, he is only in his [-]s. He looks quite sophisticated and has not yet married.Seeing Li Ziying passing by the door of his house, the team was purged, very mighty, so he wanted to serve the country and voluntarily joined Li Ziying.Because of his skill, he was caught by the scabbard cloud and became a member of the ranger.The two greyhounds running ahead are Fang Zhiyong's hounds.

The greyhound is produced in the Middle East. It has two shiny black greyhound legs, a narrow back, and graceful lines. It is the fastest running dog in the world.

Fang Zhiyong glanced at the person next to him, and said in a low voice: "Hu Tou, my right eyelid twitched these two days, I'm afraid something might happen, so be careful."

"Well, hold a gun." Hu Yinshan told the other rangers with the most succinct order that the earth temple was a hurdle. Although the two hounds had told them that there was no one there, they still had to raise their spirits. There is no room for carelessness.

Six Rangers reined in their horses and headed towards the hillside in battle formation. Hu Yinshan was at the front alone, while two hounds had already rushed up the hillside like sharp arrows.The other five people were divided into two echelons and walked slowly towards the Earth Temple.

Behind a big rock in front of the temple, Fang Zhiyong couldn't help looking across the river, his eyes sparkling with excitement, and said, "Hutou, there are people on that hill."

"Well, is that so?" Hu Yinshan didn't see the movement of someone on the hill in the distance, so he raised his binoculars in disbelief.

A person beside him said in a low voice: "Hu Tou, I saw it too. There are at least four of them. It looks like they are from the Chu army. They should be the rangers of the deputy commander Xu Zhanbiao."

A person next to him said in a deep voice: "No, there is a ditch over there. Why did they run across the ditch? They are probably spies from the returning army."

The person who spoke was Li Yunchu, who was fifteen or sixteen years old. He was thin, handsome, and calm.He is a student of Xinwutang, a fellow of Li Guolou's hometown, and he is closely related to Li Guolou, and he is also the focus of Li Guolou's cultivation.I don't talk much in the team, and I always take notes quietly on weekdays, and I am good at using my brain.

Hu Yinshan looked at it for a while, his face became gloomy, he put down his binoculars, nodded and said: "That's right! The Chu army's military law is strict, how can there be such a random ranger, they are spies investigating our transport team, and they are estimating where we will set up camp. Ring the bell and report to the team."

Li Yunzhu took out a copper bell from the bag and shook it from side to side, "Ding ding..."

The sound of the bell warned the people on the opposite hill that they were ready.I also informed the large troops that they found the situation here, but they did not blow the trumpet, which means that it was only contact with a small group of troops, and it was not time to shoot.

Li Ziying's transportation team slowly disappeared on the horizon, and there was no one on the opposite hill. After a while, Hu Yinshan said: "Okay, let's go."

All of a sudden, the rangers around the Earth Temple were walking down the hillside. They all looked nervous and alert, holding the horses in their hands, looking at the bushes in the distance.

They couldn't help being careless, the distance there was less than 1000 meters between them, and the cold gunshots were afraid of life-threatening.The Hui army also has good guns. In addition to confiscating them from the officers and soldiers, the Russians also secretly funded the Hui army. Many of the weapons used by the Hui army were made in Russia.The Russian neighbors with ulterior motives hoped that the civil strife in the Qing Dynasty would continue and that they would permanently occupy the six cities of Yili in Xinjiang.

A group of six people still wandered leisurely on the plains and sandy hills ten thousand meters away from the flank of the transport team. As a ranger, it is both exciting and dangerous. It takes a person with high skills to be brave enough to be competent. Of course, their salary Silver is also higher than ordinary soldiers, with a monthly income of 3 taels of silver, and bonuses of varying amounts.It is almost the same as the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners. The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners with the best conditions only earn 36 taels a year.

Turning around a slope, Fang Zhiyong suddenly shouted: "Stop."

Everyone stopped, rode their horses and gathered towards Fang Zhiyong, Hu Yinshan whispered: "Xiao Fang, what's wrong?"

Fang Zhiyong pointed to the hound and said, "Girl told me there is someone behind the hillside."

The two greyhounds scratched the ground with their paws and let out a short whine, warning the owner that there was danger here.Everyone was shocked, Hu Yinshan calmly said in a low voice: "Don't panic, don't go up the hill. Let's take a detour, stay out of the enemy's sight, and then think of a way."

The group of people seemed to have found another shortcut, and slowly left the place of death that was close at hand.After passing a mountain ridge, the six rangers stayed behind.

Who wouldn't be afraid to walk before the gate of hell just now?The thumping sound of the heart could be heard, Li Yunzhu wiped his cold sweat and asked, "Hutou, do you want to play the trumpet?"

Hu Yinshan grinned like an eagle owl, shook his head and said: "There is no such cheap thing, Mr. Li should know the situation, and we can't go back empty-handed. Find a way to figure out the situation on the hill, Li Yunzhu, you alone People go back and report to the knife handle, and the five of us stay and do one vote."

"No, I want to stay, I'm good at tactics." Li Yunzhu said quite confidently, with an expression of wanting to make a contribution.

It is not allowed to say "no" on the battlefield, unless there is great determination and reason, Hu Yinshan glanced at him and said: "Okay, you stay. Ma Dakuo went to report to Master Li. There are a small group of enemies here, but everyone The enemy has not been found yet."

Ma Dakui led the order and left, while the other five hurriedly dismounted, followed Fang Zhiyong behind, put on the horse's bit and wrapped the horse's hoof with cloth to prevent the horse from making a sound.Walking back in a big circle, the five horses were tied in a jungle, and then the five men carried their spears and climbed up the hill with their waists bent.

But on a flat ground more than 200 steps away on the high slope, there were seven returning soldiers and nine horses.Perhaps thinking that the sentry cavalry of the officers and soldiers had left, these returning soldiers did not lie on the ground, but sat on the ground chatting.

Six of them were dressed in the clothes of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, but their heads were not wearing hats, and it was obvious that they had not shaved their hair, and they could be seen at a glance as returned soldiers.Another returning soldier with the appearance of a small boss, holding a long gun, was telling that he aimed at the enemy just now. If he was not afraid of scaring the enemy, he would have shot and killed the six braided dogs long ago.

After the five people checked it out, they came back to discuss the matter. Their faces were all flushed. Fang Zhiyong said: "Hu Tou, that leader, I'll take care of it. I'll fire the first shot and kill him with one shot."

Li Yunzheng was not as indifferent as usual, with a fiery look in his eyes, he pulled out a Browning revolver, but his voice was calm, and he said in a low voice: "Hu Tou, I am small, let me crawl over, how many can I kill?" One is several."

This time the chances of winning are quite high, if these seven returning soldiers are killed, or a few of them are captured alive, the credit will be great, and the bonus is not just a few taels of silver.Hu Yinshan's face was flushed red, he exhaled quickly, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Li Yunzhang pay attention to concealment, if there is any movement, Xiao Fang will be the first to shoot."

He let out a low shout and everyone in the team prepared and loaded the bullets. Fang Zhiyong took a sharp javelin from behind and put it next to the Mauser, his eyes glaring fiercely.Hu Yinshan also opened the safety valves of the two short-barreled flintlock guns in his hands.Cheering up everyone: "Killing these rebels is a great achievement for everyone, brothers, fight hard!"

At such a short distance, Li Yunzhen crawled forward lying on the snow-covered ground, getting closer and closer, and the two returning soldiers were fully within range. Li Yunzhen was waiting for the best opportunity and angle, In fact, until now, Li Yun had never killed a chicken, not to mention killing people, so he adjusted the muzzle of his gun again.

I think of the words of the instructor Cheng Kun in Xinwutang class in my mind: "It's like this when hitting from the bottom up. If you hit his head, you want to be able to aim at the top of his head. If you aim at his head, you hit the chest. Hit from the top down, if you aim at the stomach, you hit the chest, if you aim at the chest, you hit the head."

Instructor Cheng's description contained something cruel and ruthless. After all, he was still a real young man in front of him, but on the battlefield, you can only live if you die. It's so cruel.

Crawling to a distance of 50 meters from the enemy, Li Yunzhang fired a shot with confidence, aimed at one, and fired a shot, and a returning soldier lay on the ground on the spot.The other one seemed to be wounded, so he rolled for the first time, rolled on the ground, and rolled to the edge of the thorns. There was a ditch beside it, and he hid in the ditch. At this time, there were gunshots all around.
