Hongshi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "It's not the other side, it's snowing in the past few days, which has frozen the Sarik River, and walking on it is not a problem at all." No wonder there was no sneak attack last night, it turned out to be waiting for this. After saying this, he raised his voice: "Throw the torch to the river at once, then lie down, and then go and gather the sharpshooter battalion." ”

Since the great war four years ago, Gerdan has been aware of the threat of muskets and has been buying muskets from Tsarist Russia, and after Hiroshi came to Dzungar, he agreed with Gerdan's approach, and has been training this musket team, naming them the Sharpshooter Battalion, in addition to the five artillery pieces.

Soon Hiroshi's words were spread, and torches were thrown to the river, so that they could see the situation on the Saric River in the dark, just as Hiroshi said, there were many people standing on the river, and these people were very fast, and the torches did not fully illuminate the river, so that these people appeared and disappeared.

"What's going on? How could there be muskets? At this time, Alimo also ran over with his shield, and Hongshi, who was half-squatting behind a boulder, glanced back at him and said, "Haven't you been waiting for the people sent by Yongzheng, all there?" ”

Alimo snorted coldly and said, "Since these people have appeared, what are you still doing here, don't you hurry out and get rid of them." ”

"They have muskets, and if they go out now, they will be sent to death, and if the general is not afraid of the wrongs of death, he can go out. I've ordered the sharpshooter battalion to be brought in, and they can't run. ”

Although Alimo hated Hongshi very much, he didn't dare to go out in the face of the muskets that rang out from time to time, and after a while, the people of the sharpshooter battalion arrived, for fear of being injured by the muskets of the Qing Palace, they all half-squatted down, and erected a half-man-high shield in front of them.

Hiroshi ordered, and the muskets rang out intensively, louder than before, and after several rounds of shooting, the effect could not satisfy Hiroshi, because they were moving too fast, and the light problem made the muskets not ready to hit, so many guns only killed a few people, which was really unsatisfactory, not to mention that several people died on their own side.

The leader of the sharpshooter battalion came to Hongshi's side under the cover of a new round of shooting, and said, "My lord, these people are moving so fast, they should be wearing skates or something, and their subordinates and others can't shoot accurately at all." Moreover, shooting like this, the ammunition is consumed too quickly, and if it is like this for a long time, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to our later operations. ”

Alimer said, "Since the muskets are useless, rush forward, their muskets cannot fire continuously, and once they are close to them, the muskets cannot exert their true power." ”

In this regard, Hongbao sneered, "General, don't forget, there is a frozen river, not to mention that we don't have military shoes, even if there are, how many people will play in the ice?" There was nothing, so I rushed up, and before I could get closer, I already fell and couldn't get up. ”

Alimo really didn't expect this, and his face was blue and white for a while, and he said for a while: "Then you should tell me, what can you do?" The Khan has given you an account of this matter, and if you can't kill these people, the Khan won't let you go. ”

Hiroshi thought for a moment and said to the leader of the sharpshooter battalion: "From now on, you don't have to shoot anyone, just encircle them in a range, and in addition, immediately mobilize two artillery pieces." ”

After receiving Hiroshi's words, the musketeers had a certain pattern in their shooting, and soon surrounded more than 200 people within a radius of ten zhang, and if anyone tried to leave this method, they would be attacked by fierce muskets. They and the people who were not encircled, they joined forces several times to blast out the gap, but they were forced back, because they did not bring much ammunition, and they did not dare to use it too much, so they could only try their best to flash the bullets fired from the shore, and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.

After a stalemate like this, the two cannons were pushed over, and Hiroshi immediately ordered the cannons to be reloaded, and then aimed at those who were surrounded by the ice.

Ali Mo twisted his eyebrows and said: "Ten zhang range, I'm afraid the destruction range of two artillery pieces is still not enough, right?" ”

In such a chaotic battle situation, Hongshi actually laughed, and after laughing, Sen Ran said: "The general just looks at it." Since these people are here, don't even think about leaving. ”

Under Ali's puzzled gaze, two cannons were aimed at those who were surrounded, and the next moment, the flames rose into the sky, and a huge explosion sounded in everyone's ears, almost knocking people unconscious.

At the moment when they saw the artillery, the Qing soldiers realized the crisis and frantically wanted to rush out, but once the people were chaotic, they would become fragile, not only did not rush out, but killed and injured many people, and after the artillery fell, the ice was penetrated, more than 200 people, either dead or wounded, but this is not over, the power of the artillery after penetrating the ice, so that the ice surface has a chain reaction, one piece after another of the ice is broken, so that the people who were not originally blocked did not have time to escape, so that they fell into the river, such weather, falling into the river is bound to die. When Yiqiē calmed down, there was no one standing on the ice.

Alimo finally understood why Hiroshi said that two cannons were enough, because he had already calculated that the ice would shatter as a result, leaving the Qing army without a single survivor.

After thinking about this, Alimo became more jealous of Hiroshi than ever, this person ...... It's really terrifying, after capturing the capital, you must let the king of Khan kill him, this person can't stay.

If you want to walk on the ice, the easiest way is to tie straw to the soles of your shoes, but unfortunately you can't find it at this time of year, so Hiroshi asked the soldiers to tie strips of cloth, and then slowly walked to the river with torches, searching for survivors everywhere, but anyone who was not dead was killed immediately, and no one was allowed to stay.

After searching around, the leader of the sharpshooter battalion walked up to Hiroshi and arched his hand: "My lord, the neighborhood has been checked, and all of them have been killed, and there are no survivors." ”

Before Hongshi could speak, there was a clapping voice behind him: "Okay, it's very good, this king really didn't see the wrong person." ”

Hearing this voice, Hongshi hurriedly turned around and saluted, "Let the King Khan be frightened, please ask the King Khan to surrender." ”

Geldan laughed, patted Hiroshi on the shoulder and said, "You wiped out this group of sneak attackers at the lowest cost, what is the crime. Yongzheng was really cunning, taking advantage of the freezing of the Saric River, and sending these people to attack the king's military camp with muskets, if you hadn't been prepared, and thought of using muskets to surround and bombard with artillery, I'm afraid that the matter has not been resolved so quickly. Therefore not only are you innocent, but the king must reward you. ”

"I just did my part, and I can't afford to be so praised by the King of Khan." While saying this, Hiroshi kept frowning. These Qing soldiers did cause them great trouble tonight, but in the final analysis, they only killed and injured a very limited number of people, not to mention the injuries and bones, not even a small fight, but themselves, hundreds of people did not survive, no matter how you look at it, it is a loss-making deal.
