late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 474 Krupp Cannon Salvo

Li Yunkai was only 13 years old, and the cold wind was blowing, which did not dampen his passionate courage, and the boy with a thin face looked mature.Li Yunkai used to be a thief of the Beijing Master's Beggar Gang. He joined Li Guolou's door and became Li Guolou's adopted son, which gave him the status and power he has today.He doesn't like reading, and has a tendency to be tyrannical in his temper. He likes to carry a gun and fight in battle. He is not afraid of death, and having the opportunity to command a war makes his blood boil.

The people next to him are all heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and under his command, Li Yunkai is full of pride. He wants to be like his father-in-law, make contributions and become famous as a young man. Looking around at the subordinates, they are all ready to go, silently waiting for his order, Pairs of eyes glowed hotly.

Li Yun jumped on the horse in anger, held up the Mauser, and shouted: "The third team of the pro-guards comes with me, let's shoot rabbits."

"Oh oh oh oh!" The 30 bodyguards of the third team of the SS, riding on horses, walked down the hillside, waving their muskets, and saluted the laboring peasants. They went to walk the rabbits first.

A Li character flag was planted on the horse, facing the billowing yellow dust. It represented the courage and determination of Li Ziying. Five sentry cavalry who rushed over brought the latest battle report: about 2000 returning cavalry were divided into three teams at intervals. Searching for two miles forward, there are returning army sentry cavalry moving around to make contact.

The scattered figures in the distance made everyone nervous, Fu Guozhong raised his hands to cover his forehead, squinted and said, "At least 300 sentinels, three miles away from here."

"Go up!" Li Yunkai was in high spirits. Although they only had more than 30 people, and the number of opponents was ten times that of theirs, the word "fear" did not exist in his dictionary.

The crowd cheered and clamored, holding up their spears and approaching the sentry cavalry.

The horseshoes of the returning cavalry were faintly heard in the wind, and a morale-boosting shout sounded from the right-wing cavalry of the returning army. The Li Ziqi flag that appeared in the distance clearly told the Li Ziying transport team that it was close at hand.Braided dog!Now you can't run away. The leader of the team is An Jie. He has always been brave in battle and likes to charge ahead. .

Due to the sudden sound of gunshots in Huangtuling, Li Ziying of the Qing army did not enter the ambush circle, disrupting the original combat plan of the Hui army, and allowing the commander Ha Lianhu to attack in advance.

An Jie never liked to mix in the crowd, he wanted to step on the Li Ziqi under the iron hoof, and before the commander Harian Hu gave his troops the order to advance, An Jie had already led his 2000 troops to Huangtuling go ahead.He has a reason for doing this. The spies said that Li Ziying’s regular army has less than 1000 troops, and even fewer cavalry. , How can the Qing army compete with the nation on horseback?The other two teams were only two miles apart, and Li Ziying's braided dog could only hide behind the vehicle tremblingly and shoot.

The sky has eyes, and the braided dog is looking for a dead end, "Warriors, kill the braided dog!" An Jie's fighting blood boiled rapidly, he waved his command knife, and shouted: "Wash your swords with the blood of the Tartars."

What responded to him was the wild cry of the cavalry of the 300th Army. They kicked the horse's belly suddenly with both legs, and pierced the horse's belly with the iron spikes on the boots. The cavalry wanted to snatch the Li Ziqi.

Anjie's head was swollen from the great work that was close at hand, and his mouth was drooling. He waved his exquisite war knife studded with rubies in the hunting wind, and shouted: "Blow the horn!"

The dull trombone of the returning army pierced the sky, telling the troops behind to move forward bravely. Under the shining of the sun, the torrent rolled up large pieces of yellow dust, sweeping towards them like a tornado.Particle-shaped dust floats in the air, making it difficult to open eyes and even breathe.

The Li Ziying team in front is speeding across the vast yellow land. The head-on confrontation two miles away is a test of everyone's nerves. Within two miles, life may be in danger at any time, but they are still facing each other on the gentle and winding yellow land. Back to the army.

The visual distance was already within 1000 meters. The cavalry of Li Ziying reined in the reins, and the horses turned at high speed. gun.

There was a crackling sound like firecrackers, and more than 30 bullets were fired at the returning cavalry who were nearly a thousand meters away. A group of returning army sentry cavalry turned their backs, and a dozen cavalrymen fell off their horses, either dead or injured.Some war horses also stumbled and fell to the ground, and the uncontrollable war horses behind them fell down again.

At this point, the returning cavalry hadn't fired their guns yet, and the guns in their hands couldn't reach a distance of 1000 meters. Anjie's army was a motley crew, so how could it be made in Russia?Not even 800 meters lethal.But the 300-man cavalry seemed unaffected, and they followed the Li army flag without hesitation. They could afford the loss. As long as they entered the range, these braided dogs who wanted to die would be trampled into flesh.

The cavalry returned to the army even more frantically pierced the horse's belly with spurs, and beat the horse's buttocks with the whip in his hand. The horse was bloody, and followed closely behind the Li Ziying cavalry, biting like a shadow.

"Catch up and kill them." An Jie raised his arms and shouted, "Kill them all and avenge the dead brothers."

An Jie looked at the following cavalry troops, and the attacking horns were long and high, "Go! Brothers, go to establish the kingdom of the Huihe people. Kill all the braided dogs!"

An Jie waved his hand to signal the large troops to follow, and overwhelmed the Qing army with thunderous momentum, making Li Ziying tremble under the iron hooves of returning warriors!

The gold and iron horses in Huangtuling, the sound of killing is loud, and the iron hoofs are flying.

It's not that An Jie's head is hot. This is a plain area. There is no possibility of an ambush by the enemy. Even if there is an ambush, he can retreat completely. That's why he blew the horn of attack without hesitation. The large troops accelerated their marching speed. Trembling for it, the billowing yellow dust rolled up the smoke, less than 5 kilometers away from Huangtu Ridge.

Guan Dai Xun Xi didn't believe that Li Guolou would be successful, that long-range cannons would not be powerful, that a small group of rangers would enter the range, and that he would not use tigers to fight flies.Until he saw a large group of Hui cavalry entering the range, he couldn't believe his eyes. The Hui army general is a fool. Let him aim in broad daylight. There is no reason to miss it.

Within 5000 meters, and 120 meters away, there are thousands of cavalry returning to the army, and there is no end in sight like ants.What are you waiting for?The artillery is commanded by him, two Krupp cannons with a caliber of 15 mm and a range of 80 kilometers, and eight Krupp cannons with a caliber of 8 mm and a range of [-] kilometers. These ten cannons are enough for the returning cavalry to eat. Read the full text of Rebirth of the Poisonous Concubine.

Xun Xi held up the gun mirror with his chest up and his stomach protruding, and calculated the distance. In just a moment, he calculated the distance, and shouted loudly: "The target distance is 5 degrees due west, 4 kilometers."

Immediately beside the Krupp cannon, eight observers shouted in unison: "The target distance is 5 degrees due west, 4 kilometers!"

"5 degrees due west, 4 kilometers, use flowering bombs." Amidst the roar, the observers of the various artillery pieces wearing hoods and helmets immediately converted the relationship between the target distance and the angle of the muzzle, and rotated the tails of each artillery piece vigorously. With the creaking sound of the spiral iron handle at the back, the muzzles of each cannon were slowly raised or lowered.

The correctors of the various guns came to the muzzle with the gun gauges urgently, quickly checked the elevation angle of the gun barrels, and then everyone shouted: "The adjustment is complete."

"Adjustments are complete!"

Xun Xi watched the quick and accurate movements of his own gunners, waved his right arm in satisfaction, and shouted: "Send the shells!"

"Send the shells!" The ammunition hands of all the guns roared in unison, quickly picked up the shells in the ammunition cart, and quickly stuffed them into the back of the barrel.

These cannons are rear cannons. The shells will not explode when they touch the ground. They still rely on the ignition of the fuze. The explosives in the shells will not explode immediately when they touch the ground. If the fuze is too short, the bombs will explode early in the air.If the fuze is too long and the bomb falls to the ground, the enemy will flee in all directions, and there is still a chance of survival.

The pusher nimbly moved the push rod in his hand, sent the shell into the bottom of the barrel with just one click, and then closed the valve.

A Krupp cannon is equipped with six people, not including the bomb carrier. The division of labor is clear, and their movements are skillful and smooth.Half of the artillerymen are Dagukou artillery officers, and the other half are students of Xinwutang.

Filled with pride, Xun Xi waved his exaggerated hand downwards and shouted, "Launch!"

The whole loess slope trembled, the roar was deafening, and ten Krupp cannons fired a salvo.More than 3000 people on the loess slope looked up to the sky, and the ten shells carried their ardent expectations.

In an instant, the smoke from the ten Krupp cannons enveloped all the artillery positions of one's own side. The loud noise of the ten cannons' salvo made the hills tremble, and even the cattle, horses and camels pulling the artillery above the hills were uneasy. bray.

At the same time as each cannon spouted smoke, the same fierce flames flashed between the muzzles, and the shells whistling out of the chamber whirled at high speed, skimming the sky, piercing the clear sky, and sending out a long and soul-stirring roar in the air.

The movement caused by the loud noise caused many people on both sides to stop their movements after hearing the sound, and involuntarily looked towards the direction of the sky where the shells passed.

At this moment, the gunpowder smoke from the bombardment had not cleared away, and the remaining smoke from the artillery blast was choking and irritating. The northwest wind blew the gunpowder smoke on Li Guolou's face, and his face showed a bit of determination.You can win by seizing the opportunity. The general who returned to the army did not understand the power of the cannon, and even ran into the range of the Krupp cannon. This is the enemy courting death.

Li Ziying walked slowly all the way, he was training soldiers, and the effect of training could be tested in actual combat, so he was full of confidence in Li Ziying.The soldiers of Li Ziying who have the spirit of patriotism are invincible and will surely make a country prosperous.The power of the spirit is infinite. Inspired by the spirit of patriotism, thousands of civilians have also been shaped into death squads by him. Looking at the shirtless peasants, sweating like rain, digging ditches and building fortifications, this slope will be as firm as steel. No enemy can take the glory of Li Ziqi.

The distance of 5000 meters is a safe zone in the perception of the cavalry of the Hui army, so they are taking their time to organize the army and slow down the speed of the horses.Swords and guns were like a forest, and the iron flow of returning cavalry was galloping. Hearing the loud sound of sharp cannons, they all subconsciously looked into the air, wondering what the braided dog was doing at such a long distance?

The bearded An Jie subconsciously looked at the artillery positions in the distance, and wanted to open his mouth to boost morale, but his eardrums were deafened, the loud noise had already landed, and a black smoke rose up. Unclearly, the horse under his crotch fell to the ground, and the powerful shock wave knocked him to the ground, An Jie was hit by shrapnel, black smoke billowed up from the loess plain, and deafening roars followed one after another.
