The black land outside the Guanxi has not experienced serious development since ancient times, especially after the Manchu Qing settled in the Central Plains, the Guanwai was protected as their last self-reserved land. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only a limited number of Han Chinese were allowed to live here and had to be confined to fixed villages, while the rest of the ethnic groups continued to live a life of fishing and hunting for thousands of years, and could not be upgraded by the Central Plains civilization at all.

The land is primitive and vast, with a sparse road network and scattered farmland, and more often than not, deep forests and mountains. It seems that except for the Liaohe Plain, which is still a little flowery, the rest of the places are basically what they looked like three thousand years ago, and what they are still like now.

Unlike the march on the Mongolian steppe, the cavalry team did not have many opportunities to make a big detour, and they could only choose the ancient post roads developed by humans for thousands of years.

On both sides of the road are deep mountains and old forests, and there are hundreds of years old trees, and the speed of riding a horse in this kind of jungle cannot be up at all, and the mountains are high and dense and it is easier to get lost, so the Rakshasa cavalry regiment will never enter the dense forest unless it is absolutely necessary.

Along the upper streams of the Suifen River and the Ussuri River, the post road is narrow and steep, and the road leading to the Xiaotumen Mountain Ferry is even narrower, and only three war horses can be paralleled, and the 1,005 vanguard troops are like an old elder who is pulled like a dead snake.

"Where is the front?, and where are our guides?...... bring them up," the Pioneer Commander shouted.

Two frightened mountain people were tied to their horses and brought up, "There is a border ferry in front, Xiaotumen Ferry...... Across the street is the place of your Rakshasa Kingdom...... Don't kill me, don't kill us......"

A slap in the face was drawn, "Damn it, we're Tsarist Russia, not some rakshasa ghosts, don't think I don't know the meaning of that noun...... Say, how many soldiers are there at that ferry?"

"There are only more than 20 veterans guarding it, I didn't lie to you, I really didn't lie to you...... But I don't know how many volunteers there are on the other side of the river, I really don't know......"

The regimental commander waved his hand and asked the guide to be taken down, "Send a company up to investigate, and then send a herald to inform the large troops in the rear, saying that we have arrived at the border, and if it is safe, we will open a safe river-crossing position for the large army......"

A company of cavalry rumbled forward, and more than 100 cavalrymen quickly found a simple sentry post in Xiaotumen Village, three dilapidated wooden houses, and two stupid and tattered veterans standing outside.

The cavalry company turned around three times, and then saw two timid veterans kowtowing and begging for mercy, and the entire checkpoint was empty.

"Company commander, just as we thought, these brave guys have fled...... Let's go to the other side and have a look!"

The company commander jumped off his horse and walked in front of the kowtow veteran, called out to the interpreter and asked, "Where are the soldiers at the checkpoint, where are the volunteers, and is there an ambush on ......the other side?"

"Fuck you......" The veteran lying on the snow suddenly jumped up without warning, and stabbed the Rakshasa company commander in the chest with a small snowy handbag in his hand.

"Be careful...... the Russian soldier who woke up next to him slammed the company commander with his shoulder, and as a result, the small stick stabbed directly into his ribs, and blood seeped out at once.

"Damn the assassin, kill him......" A group of cavalry rushed up on horseback and raised their bayonets to stab the veteran downward, the bayonet stabbed into the body from the shoulder and back, and the veteran was dizzy in front of the severe pain.

"Lao Tzu's life has finally come to an end...... OK...... I don't lose my conscience until I die......" The old soldier raised his head and roared to the sky, only then did people realize that a wooden-handled grenade made of the Ryukyus in his arms was smoking out.

"There are explosives ......" only heard a loud bang, the war horse was swept down by the blast of the explosion, and several cavalrymen were blown up to a blur of flesh and blood.

At this time, another veteran turned his head and rushed into the wooden house, followed by the sound of kerosene lamps being smashed, and the light of fire and smoke came out in an instant.

"It's too late...... "The old soldier's dying roar came from the smoking window.

Thick smoke and fire were the signals, and in less than three minutes, more than a dozen fire points suddenly appeared at the upwind of the forest on both sides of the post road, and the fire instantly covered the entire cavalry team with the wind and smoke.

Today is the northwest, from the northwest of the post road began to set fire, the smoke soon choked the Rakshasa cavalry coughed violently "cough cough...... There is an ambush, there is an ambush here...... cough cough cough ......"

In the forest, more than a dozen truckloads of vegetable oil have long been sprinkled on the shrubs and trees, and there are still many wood stumbling blocks temporarily cut down by mountain people in winter, and splashing vegetable oil is the best fuel.

More than a dozen figures ran wildly through the woods with torches, and they knew that this fire was actually difficult to burn those rakshasa ghosts, and the speed of the fire could not keep up with the speed of the war horses.

The flames can't catch up with the enemy, but the smoke can drive them away, and the wood with the remnants of snow and moisture will emit billowing smoke once it burns, and even if you can't kill these rakshasas, you will smoke them to death.

"Fast through the post road...... Send the rangers to the south to explore and bypass this ferry......" Before the commander could finish shouting, he heard a sudden burst of gunfire in the dense forest on the south side of the post road, and the cavalry on the road was immediately knocked down.

"Shooting...... Constant Shooting...... "In the woods on the south side, there are always traces of war horses running, and the unique charging command of the Fuso samurai is unforgettable.......

"The ambush of the Volunteers...... Three companies and four companies entered the forest to counterattack, and the rest of the team quickly stormed the ferry...... We're assembling across the river!"

The vanguard cavalry began to shift, the Rakshasa cavalry's Bodan rifle began to return fire, and the sound of bullets whizzing through the woods and the popping sound of hitting the trunks of trees.

"Pig Hill Chips...... Quickly retreat...... The enemy has been lured in, ready to catch the mouth alive......" Yujiro Maeda roared in the depths of the dense forest, they knew that the Tsarist army was definitely not equipped with a Japanese interpreter, so they shouted directly in plain language without fear that the other party would know what it meant.

"Wait for me in a minute, I'll kill another round...... Throw a grenade and blow them up...... "The rise of Pig Hill Chip, she didn't want to go back so easily.

But the sound of the retreating army horn of the foggy imp sounded quickly, and Pig Shan Chip didn't dare not disobey the order of this eldest sister, he raised his hand and shot down an enemy, "Go, retreat!"

Jungle warfare is not a big crowd to take advantage of, whoever is familiar with the terrain can laugh and say in the end, the pursuing rakshasa ghost will meet a big tree for a while, a river ditch for a while, the war horse can't run fast at all, and always have to turn the horse's head to avoid obstacles.

The Fuso samurai who fled in front of him didn't turn around and make a small counterattack, but ran away like a mosquito, which was really annoying.

"Coward, damn coward, have the ability to fight us...... Oh, oh my god, what is this......" In the midst of the screams, four or five war horses kicked their front feet into the air and fell directly to the ground.

"There's a trip...... Be careful, everyone!"
