Lin Ziran often hears this, but when he hears this, it often means that there is nothing good.

Now, for sure!

With a straight face, he said to the scout who came back: "What's the matter?" ”

The scout replied: "There are at least six hundred enemy horsemen in front, and we are intercepted by them on the periphery, there is no way to penetrate into their rear, but there will definitely be more enemy horsemen in the rear!" ”

Enemy riders?

Lin Ziran continued to ask, "What kind of troops?" Did you check the number? What was the route of their march? ”

A series of questions were thrown out, which also represented Lin Ziran's attention.

"It should be the third cavalry regiment in the Guang'an Army, but there should be the number of other cavalry regiments, because it is impossible for a cavalry regiment to have so many troops, but we didn't find out!"

"They are now located in our northeast direction, and their main cavalry is farther away from us, about five kilometers away, but their more than two hundred forward cavalry are very close to us, only two kilometers at most!"

"And looking at their marching routes, they are coming directly to us!"

The detective's good ride made Lin Ziran frown even more.

I'm really afraid of something.

According to their original plan, after escorting the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment through this hilly area, which was only a few kilometers, they could hand over to Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade, and then return to Qingshan Town smoothly.

Moreover, judging from the nearby terrain, if the enemy were to attack the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment, it could be carried out in the plain area north of this hilly area.

Relatively undulating hilly terrain, it is obvious that the plain terrain is more conducive to the operation of the cavalry-based Quang An rebel attack troops.

At that time, even if the Guang'an cavalry attacked the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, it was none of his business Lin Ziran, he was only responsible for escorting the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment across this mountainous area, and as for the subsequent escort of the plain terrain, the temporary brigade with Jian Liangzhi was in charge, and it had nothing to do with him.

But he didn't expect that these Guang'an rebel cavalry did not take the normal road, did not obediently wait for the plains, but took the initiative to go south into the hilly area.

What is this for?

Take the initiative to give up the superiority of the cavalry, and then come and attack yourself?

At this time, Lin Ziran naturally didn't know that the reason why the cavalry troops led by Fang Yuanxin took the initiative to enter the hilly area was to avoid Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade.

He knew very well that once the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the Provisional Brigade were brought over, he would not have a chance to attack in the future.

Because Jian Liangzhi's temporary brigade has two cavalry regiments and one infantry regiment.

Two of the cavalry regiments will be able to chase him!

The fool and Jian Liangzhi are fighting hard in the plains!

So he took the initiative to go south, anyway, although the hilly terrain in these kilometers is undulating, the hills are generally relatively gentle, and the vehicles transporting heavy baggage and artillery cannot advance on these gentle slopes, which does not mean that the cavalry cannot.

This time, Fang Yuanxin played a time difference!

Before Jian Liangzhi could react, he took the initiative to attack, in order to quickly enter and exit to fight a wave and kill the flash people of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment.

However, in this way, Lin Ziran was sad!

After learning the report of the scout, he pondered for a few seconds and said, "Beat the drum and prepare for battle!" ”

The military musicians around him began to beat the small drum in front of him, and the rapid sound of the drum sounded!

After the drums sounded, the soldiers of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion stopped in unison, looked at their platoon commanders, company commanders and other officers from a distance, and then began to line up with these officers.

At this time, Cheng Hongbin also stepped forward quickly, with a look of urgency: "What's the matter?" Enemy attack? ”

Lin Ziran nodded and said: "Scout cavalry report, there is the main force of the enemy cavalry approaching in the northeast!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Cheng Hongbin didn't say a word, directly pulled the horse's head, and shouted at the same time: "Beat the drum and prepare for war!" ”

"Quick, organize the car formation!"

With the sound of drums in the wilderness, the huge transport team began to lean against each other, and then formed a car formation, so many heavy vehicles and artillery in the team, which whole team is more than two kilometers in front and rear, if it does not move, it represents more than two kilometers of defense line, and it is also an extremely thin defense line.

Even if it was protected by the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment itself had hundreds of artillerymen and thousands of civilians, but it was still unable to protect such a long defensive line.

Therefore, in the event of an enemy attack, if it is an emergency, the transport troops will often be based on a small number of vehicles and organized into a small square or circular trolley formation.

The reason for forming a small car formation is that time is tight, and at the same time, the general road is lined with wilderness, and it is difficult for vehicles to travel, and there is no way to form a large car formation.

If the situation is not so urgent and the terrain is relatively good, then the huge array of dozens of vehicles will be listed.

But this situation rarely happens, anyway, Lin Ziran has escorted the troops many times, and when he was attacked twice, each time he could only form a small station with a few cars, and there were relatively few more than ten cars.

This time it was the same, the other party was still cavalry, and the nearby terrain was not too good, so the formation could only list a few vehicles at most, and no more than a dozen vehicles.

With the successive orders of Lin Ziran and Cheng Hongbin, a huge transport team began to line up, and the troops of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion were also concentrated, basically stationed in several relatively large vehicle formations as a company.

After they finished their hurried formation, they were already in a large vehicle formation composed of more than 20 vehicles, and Lin Ziran, who was riding on horseback, also saw the traces of the enemy's cavalry on the small low slope in front of them.

At first, there were only a few horses, but soon there were more than ten horses, hundreds of horses, and finally more than two hundred horses roaring!

More than 200 horsemen roared like waves, the momentum was extremely terrifying, and many people saw this battle, they were already directly peeing their pants, and there were not a few who turned around and ran.

The soldiers in the Castle Hill Patrol Camp were no better off there.

Many of the soldiers were shaking their hands and feet, and they couldn't even reload their ammunition.

I was also a little nervous enough to reload my ammunition repeatedly, and I reloaded my ammunition before I could shoot after reloading.

There are even a few people whose legs are weak, and they don't dare to stand up when they sit directly on the ground, but just hold their heads and shrink behind the carriage, muttering something in their mouths.

However, the hundreds of artillerymen of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment next door are still artillerymen, but now they are also picking up Fuyuan muskets one by one and preparing to meet the enemy.

Comparing these goods of his own, Lin Ziran has a feeling of comparing goods and wanting to throw them!

When Lin Ziran frowned, Luo Mazi on the side quietly stepped forward: "My lord, these two hundred horsemen are only in the lead, and there are still hundreds of enemy horsemen behind, this Guang'an thief army is menacing."

"As the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the adult ......"

Lin Ziran directly pulled out the knife: "Shut up!" ”
