late Qing Dynasty arrest

Fang Zhiyong was a hunter in the past, and his marksmanship was excellent. A bullet from a distance of 150 meters hit the target directly, and the little boss Tian Linggai was shot out with a blood mist.The three people next to him also fired at the same time and beat them desperately, causing dust to fly on the ground.

A returning soldier lying on the ground couldn't raise his head, the bullet was loaded, and he fired indiscriminately.Thinking wrong, he wanted to raise his head to aim and shoot, so he stopped shooting and raised his head slightly.

Fang Zhiyong was searching for the target, aimed his gun at that place, and waited for the returning soldier to probe.With a bang, the returning soldier fell and lay there motionless.

Hu Yinshan yelled and rushed towards the enemy, holding a big knife in his hand, relying on the smoke from a flintlock gun, he rushed to the death zone.The other two soldiers behind them also gritted their teeth, held up their bayonet-mounted guns, and rushed towards the remaining two enemies.

The three returning soldiers hiding on the ground wanted to reload the bullets, but it was too late. In a moment, they chose to go up to fight, drew out the waist knives at their waists, and shouted loudly, not afraid of death.

The big knife met the waist knife, Hu Yinshan ignored the side knife stabbing at him, he chose to trust the comrades around him, there was only one enemy in his eyes.That person is too much like himself, with full cheeks and beard, the same youthful years, the same no hesitation.One is fighting for the country, and the other is fighting for the nation, and here are gorgeous blood flowers blooming.

"Dang!" Sparks flew everywhere, the knife held the knife, and only the simplest slash was used. The big knife was huge on the waist knife, and a gap appeared in the thick big knife.The back soldier holding the waist knife, the tiger's mouth burst open, the waist knife in his hand was still a precious sword, but the thickness of the big knife broke the gorgeous waist knife into two sections.

"Ah!" Hu Yinshan's second move followed the wind, and the deadly sword suddenly burst out a blade, cutting across the waist loop of the enemy, and the sword turned with him. The fancy movements have been passed down in the Central Plains martial arts.

"Ah!" Hui Bing let out the last scream of his life, his upper body was separated from his lower body, what kind of sword technique is this?He can only stare blankly at the hero who killed him, isn't that himself?He wanted to tell the living self his name, and it turned out that this was what happened to the flesh and blood.

Fang Zhiyong threw out a sharp javelin from forty steps away, and with a "pop", the javelin pierced into the chest of a returning soldier, smashing the man and the gun to the ground viciously.

Another returning soldier next to him raised his knife and slashed at Hu Yinshan. He was so reckless, disregarding his own safety, and only wanted to die with the enemy.There was a personality blocking his waist knife head-on, and this knife was only a little bit short of drinking the blood of the enemy.He looked down at his stomach, where a bayonet pierced into his stomach.

"Ah!" Huibing couldn't help shouting, clutching his stomach to save his own life, fight against corrupt officials, eliminate demons, and kill a peaceful world.

To kill the enemy is to protect one's own people. This is the simplest truth and the cruelest reality.The short assault battle can only be used for two minutes, and the battle is over.Hu Yinshan walked over and took a look. There were five dead bodies on the ground, one returning soldier was still alive, a hole was stabbed in his stomach, blood kept oozing out, blood bubbles were spitting out of his mouth, and he was staring blankly at him with wide-eyed eyes. .

The childish Xu Zhong pulled the breech bolt and wanted to shoot, Hu Yinshan said: "Save a bullet, try using a knife."

Xu Zhong pulled out his dagger, ran over and cut his throat, and several other people were carrying daggers, so they also took out their daggers and stabbed them twice, and they were dead at that time.

It was an unimaginable scene with a strong smell of blood and ferocity. Many years later, Hu Yinshan would find it difficult to explain why he was so cold at that time.

It was the first time for Li Yunzhang to hold a knife, but it felt like he didn't have that kind of fear, and he enjoyed it very much. He was very excited to kill someone himself. When he wanted to try a knife, he took it out without hesitation I stabbed it, and I stabbed it without even thinking about it. The knife was really fast, and it went in with a single stab, and there was a sound like a poof, and it went in.

I don't know why Li Yunzhen feels that he has grown up. Of course, this is a feeling that maybe he shouldn't have. What he faces is the dark night, loneliness, and unpredictable danger.But the experience and feelings in my life are so real, that kind of panic, that kind of turmoil, nervousness, and fear, which makes people frightened.

This is Li Yunzhen's first mission. Compared with Fang Zhiyong's bloody fight, it seems to be calm. In fact, Li Yunzhen has gradually become like a veteran since he had this experience. So calm and calm.There will be more and more tasks to be performed, and they will become more and more dangerous.Li Yunzhu feels that he has grown up, of course, this is a feeling that maybe he shouldn't have. What he faces is the dark night, loneliness, and unpredictable dangers.But the experience and feelings in my life are so real, that kind of panic, that kind of turmoil, nervousness, and fear, which makes people frightened.

The enemy is a very vague concept. Those people are not blue-faced and fangs, but they are similar to us. There is no difference. The only difference lies in the attire and language. Although it is natural to destroy the enemy on the battlefield, it is the same thing in cognition. The feeling after actually doing it is extremely complicated.Fang Zhiyong didn't feel trembling at the time. He was still smoking while sitting next to the corpse. When he saw the corpse smoking, he wanted to smoke very much. When he smoked, he found that his whole body was shaking.

Five people have completed the transformation of a soldier, but they are not psychopathic murderers, let alone killing machines. They are exactly the same as everyone else before joining the army, but what is before them is to bear the burden brought by the first murder. Huge psychological impact.

How will the recruits face death in the future, and how will they brush shoulders with death?Only a faint smell of tobacco relaxes their nerves.

It was the first time in Li Yunzhu's life that he smoked a cigarette, tears flowed from his eyes, and he smiled and said, "It's a pleasure."

Hu Yinshan breathed out a puff of thick smoke, snorted and said, "Xiao Li, you are happy now, but you will cry later. The five of us have become the target of the enemy. As long as we move, the bullets will have eyes." Shoot you the same."

"Then what should we do? Let's leave now." Li Yunchu couldn't believe it, and hurriedly stomped out the cigarette.

The returning soldier who rolled into the gutter just now was caught.Fang Zhiyong was next to the returned soldier with an injured arm, the rope loop flew up, and quickly tied the prisoner into a rice dumpling, threw it on the horse's back, glanced and said: "Don't worry, the returned soldier doesn't know what's going on here, They are also muttering nearby, we don’t move, they can only guess. Maybe someone else will come to seek death, we will rush out after dark.”

Li Yuncun asked: "Then the enemy army is coming?"

Fang Zhiyong laughed and said: "Then we still have horses, so let's fight, life and death are up to fate, if you can escape, you will escape, if you can't escape, you will be honored."

"The bastards are all poor." Xu Zhong, a student soldier who cleaned the battlefield, did not find many valuables, only found some naan bread, a few bags of horse feed, a bag of kumiss, a few bags of water, six A long Russian-made spear and five waist knives were all tied to the horses, ready to go at any time. After a while, they had eleven horses.

Five people hid in a jungle and waited for the night to approach. One of them drank a few sips of kumiss, which tasted so bad that it was hard to swallow. It was like horse urine, and they all swallowed it with a frown.They dare not run now, fearing that the enemy's bullets will fly.The gunshots just now alarmed the hidden enemies nearby. As long as they ran to the plain, they would become live targets.

Sporadic gunshots can be heard here, one after another, in the wilderness.The faces of the five people looked ugly, they were not as happy as before, and they were worried about the safety of other rangers.The raid they launched was successful, but would the rangers of other groups die because of their actions?No one dared to talk about heavy topics.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo!" Lin Jian suddenly remembered the cuckoo's cry, Fang Zhiyong understood it, and made a gesture, and the two greyhounds rushed towards the place where the sound was made, and the enemies echoed each other.And they want to eliminate the enemies who can sing birds, the five of them sneaked into the depths of the dense forest with guns on their waists...

Li Ziying did not march to the next beacon tower to set up camp. The information brought back by the rangers from all sides indicated that there were many return posts nearby, and it was very likely that the Hui army would attack Li Ziying.The returned cavalry was very cunning. The enemy knew that Li Ziying's artillery was sharp, so they did not attack the convoy during the day, but oppressed Li Ziying's room for maneuver, and attacked the rangers scattered around.

The knife scabbard cloud shoulder hangs, escaped with great difficulty, rolled on the ground with tears in his eyes, and cried: "Master, the rebels have blocked the road ahead. There are still 20 miles away from here. I'm sorry, I only take you Four people returned, and the other four died."

This is the time to test the commander's ability and determination. Li Guolou will never cry. No matter how heavy the casualty is, he can bear it. Write down the name, I will not forget any brother in Li Ziying."

Most of the 180 rangers from each team returned safely, only five from Hu Yinshan's team, and ten left behind, all of whom must have died.After receiving news from various places, Li Guolou learned that there was a water source in the hilly area 5000 meters away to the east. Li Guolou said without hesitation: "Li Ziying immediately turned around and headed east. The unnamed highland, the cavalry launched an attack and seized the unnamed highland."

Time is life, Battelle quickly stepped on the horse, waved his spear, and said: "The cavalry at the first sentry, let me go."

There was no returning army in the hilly area 5000 meters away. Battelle led 150 cavalry as fast as lightning, and planted the red Li character flag on the highest point of the hillside.

"Okay!" All the generals cheered thunderously, as if they had won a victory.

Li Ziying's convoy turned its direction in an orderly manner, amidst the shouts of drivers, people shouting and neighing, and the distance of 5000 meters was reached in an instant.The clear and loud sound of the bugle is inspiring, and hundreds of red flags with Li characters are flying over the advancing Li Ziying.

An unnamed high ground was planted with pennants, and the heavy cannons were pushed by bullocks and dragged up the hills. The artillerymen fixed the barrels of Krupp cannons to the gun mounts.The supply soldiers used huge hammers to drive the wooden piles into the loess.This huge Krupp cannon needs to be fixed, and the bracket must be fixed in one place, otherwise the huge recoil force when firing the shell will overturn the gun body, unlike small howitzers, mortars, and copper cannons, which only need a bracket.

The height of the hillside is about [-] meters, the trees are sparse, and a meandering river on the south side just passes by. Only the Hui army on the south side will not attack, but Li Guolou still placed four mortars facing the south to prevent the Hui army from doing nothing. , Changed the cavalry to infantry, waded across the small river on the south side to attack Li Ziying.

Mortars can be used to fire shotguns. The attack range is more than 30 steps. The attack from one side is full of lethality. The only disadvantage is that the distance is too short.No more than 40 meters on flat ground, and some slopes can reach 50 meters a little farther, which is the last barrier of the position.

Bare-chested peasants wielded shovels, shovels, and shovels to build fortifications on the loess slope, with knowledgeable school officers pointing at them. Many military officers were also shirtless and brandished shovels, demonstrating how to dig tunnels.

It is unrealistic to dig deep ditches now. The peasants dig pits one after another. This kind of pit can allow soldiers to hide in it and shoot, but also cause damage to cavalry. Horses cannot step on such pits, even smaller pits. If the war horse stepped into the pit, its muscles and bones would be broken.Because it is a hill of yellow land, it is not difficult to dig a hole, but soon the hill is dug with holes.And on each side of the ramp, there is a straight road with a distance of 30 meters, which is used for the cavalry of Li Ziying to attack.

Li Guolou is doing the ideological work of guiding Xunxi, because the main force of the Hui army is coming from the west, so Li Guolou asked Xun Xi to give the Hui army a big gift when the Hui army entered the range of the Krupp cannon, [-] meters The distance is to let the two Krupp cannons with the longest range fire two shots, and they must hit the target.

Xun Xi gazed at the plain to the west, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Lord Li, you are in a difficult position. It's already past three o'clock in the afternoon. I can't see a place ten thousand meters away from here. I can only do my best. , You can try it at a distance of 5000 meters, and if I have a chance, I will do a flat push bombing. When it gets dark, my cannon will become blind, and it will only be used as an obstacle."

Li Guolou wanted to return to the army to suffer first, nodded slightly and said: "Little Stone, since your life is good, you have come back unscathed. I entrust you with a task to lead a team of soldiers and attract the return army to me." Come here, you can shoot at a distance of 1200 meters, and the range of Russian guns does not exceed 800 meters, so don’t enter the range of returning troops, 1000 meters is the limit.”

This team of personal guards are all retired from the army. Among them are Wei Qun with a small knife, Wei Yun with a spear, Alirang with a sharp sword, and Yang Cong with an arrow. , followed Li Guolou to the Northwest as a mercenary.

Li Guolou dispatched these veterans of many battles to boost morale and lift up the spirits of the people in the camp. Just now, the ugly appearance of the Ranger fleeing back like a frightened bird made Li Ziying's morale low.Before the night approached, he boosted his morale, so this time he exposed his family background and let the returning army know what the power of artillery is.
