1493 Ambush

Some people have vividly compared the armament of human beings to the teeth, but I have never heard anyone say that they are armed to the hooves of horses, whether it is the era of cold weapons or the age of hot weapons, the hooves of cavalry are very fragile joints, and they will be the first if they are not protected well.

The ancient classic trap of the tripping horse was just as useful in this era, and the woods were littered with ropes and wires two to three inches above the ground, some hiding in the snow and some hiding in the dead grass, so that the fast-running cavalry could not see them at all.

The hapless cavalry fell in the snow one after another, and the rest did not dare to advance to tighten their reins, and just as they tried to save their fallen comrades, the sound of gunfire rang out in all directions in the forest.

The rifle used by the Rakshasa Cavalry Regiment at the moment is the Bodan rifle designed by the United States, which is the most advanced weapon just installed this year.

It's a pity that they encountered the army of the big tyrant Xiao Letian, and the cavalry under Sister Wu was all equipped with double rifles, one was the Mauser type with long range and high accuracy, and the other was the famous American Civil War gun Spencer.

The two rifles formed two dense nets of fire in the forest, the Spencer who fired continuously and densely, and the Prussian Mauser who hit far and accurately, and the firepower of a battalion of troops suddenly overwhelmed the enemy's head.

The commander saw that his comrades around him were shot three times in the chest, blood arrows came out of his back, and the whole person fell on the horse's buttocks, and there was a tall war horse in front of him, and the head of the tall war horse was shot and the cavalry on his body was overturned to the ground, and his thighs were crushed alive with a click.

There were painful wails everywhere, and sad cries for help, bullets popped on the trunks of trees, sawdust flew everywhere, did there be a head that was shattered, and three drops of ** sprayed on his face.

Even if the fighting nation is naturally warlike, it knows that at this moment, the enemy is outnumbered and cannot stay for a long time...... We've done our cover! Get out and get to the ferry......"

The troops of the two companies only chased more than two miles and left behind more than 60 corpses, such losses completely exceeded their expectations, and if they didn't run, they would wait to be wiped out.

"No, for God's sake, take me away...... Take me away......" screamed the soldiers who were crushed under their horses, and more wounded soldiers begged bitterly.

The two company commanders who led the troops had just a hint of hesitation, and then they heard the volunteers on the opposite side shouting, "Grenade preparation...... Blow them up!"

Then more than a dozen smoking iron bumps flew out, boom, boom...... The flames of the explosion left ten more corpses, and the commander did not dare to hesitate, "Withdraw, withdraw immediately......

The Rakshasa cavalry exited the forest, and then the Volunteers began to clean up the battlefield, and in a shouting and amidst the shouting, the Volunteers captured a total of seven prisoners who could still speak.

"Interrogate them separately...... I don't believe everybody is hard-headed!"

All of a sudden, the forest was full of screams, and all kinds of torture methods invented by the CIA were used, and these hapless wounded soldiers cried and screamed, scolded and pleaded...... As Sister Wu said, it is impossible for all of them to be hard bones, and soon the confessions of the three captives overlapped, indicating that the three people had begun to tell the truth.

The sound of the pen rustling on the paper, everything that has happened along the way of the entire Tsarist Russian Expeditionary Force from Central Asia to the present is in vain, when Sister Wu heard that the 20,000 cavalry was just the vanguard and there were 30,000 cavalry coming in a hurry, her face turned pale with shock.

"O Buddha, our volunteers are now only more than 40,000 people, and the enemy's reinforcements are 50,000......!

"Damn Heilongjiang General Tepuxin! He actually opened the country and let the enemy copy our back road......

"Are the Manchus all pigs? How can they make such a will! Lure wolves into the house! Isn't there an idiom in the Chinese called "False Paths to Destroy Yu"? Let the enemy know the trend of the mountains and rivers in their own country and the human geography, isn't this looking for death......

People scolded angrily, but scolding can not solve the problem at all, now the problem in front of everyone is how to solve, time is more precious than gold may be delayed in the next hour, the enemy's follow-up reinforcements will rush across the mouth of the Songhua River.

Just as Sister Wu was thinking, suddenly there was a series of explosions like thunder in the east, and there were several clouds of gunpowder smoke rushing into the sky.

"Let's do it! There is really a kind of Qing army in this group of ferries, Sister Wu, you read them right......"

The ferry port of Xiaotumen Village was guarded by the upstream tributaries of the Ussuri River, and this time the Wuyin imp not only left twelve carts of vegetable oil by those defenders, but also more than 800 kilograms of black powder.

The gunpowder sealed in these jars was hidden under the snow on the ice, and it was impossible to see it until it was close, and when the vanguard cavalry stepped on the ice, the soldiers who had been lurking in the snow finally lit the fuse.

Boom Boom Boom ...... Chain explosions have occurred one after another, and the dimensions here are already lower than those of the Heilongjiang and Amur rivers, and the temperature is several degrees higher, and the ice surface is not as solid as it used to be these days.

The explosion cracked in the ice, and the cavalry turned pale with a loud clattering sound, and even the horses realized the danger and retreated desperately.

Everything was too late, and the first hundred or so cavalry to step on the ice did not have time to retreat, and the ice cracked one by one, and the tumbling river came out, and the men and horses fell down in unison.

This month the river is so cold that it can freeze people's bones, and the soldiers who struggle in the water see the water droplets on their hair and eyebrows turn into ice crystals.

The fur and cotton cloak were soaked in ice water, and the soldiers sank down, and there were people on the shore who came to the rescue, but where did they think that the manpower of the man who fell into the water would be so great, and the two good men pulled a soldier who fell into the water and finally let him take him down the river.

The regiment commander on the shore was already dumbfounded, the crack in the entire river surface that was blown open was more than 300 meters wide, and the huge ice floe hit back and forth, and the soldiers in the book saw that one by one they could not survive.

"Oh God, the Qing soldiers actually have such courage? Am I in the wrong place? Is this still the land of the Qing Dynasty......?"

"Rounding the crossing, we chose a different place to cross the river...... I don't believe that such a long stretch of ice can't be made on such a road!"

But this really made him right, the river is very wide, but there are not many areas suitable for crossing the river, to be precise, there are very few areas suitable for large troops to cross the river.

Ten miles upstream and downstream of Xiaotumen Ferry, both sides of the river are full of dense forests and rocky slopes, and it is no problem for cavalry or mountain people to hunt in small groups, but it is difficult to let tens of thousands of troops cross it.

If you forcibly cross the river in such a dangerous place, you can be blocked by just a few thousand people in ambush on the opposite bank, and you will not even think of rushing through with the strength of a single division.

"Damn! I said a long time ago that I can't trust these Chinese, even if it's the waste of the Great Qing Kingdom, you can't take it lightly...... Pass my order, next time you encounter the Qing defenders, kill them directly, don't believe them!"
