Chapter 997: The Battle of Elling Lake

The sky was getting dark, and the thunder was far away, but the sky and the earth were still drizzling and hazy, and there was nothingness.

After nearly three hours of sailing, the main force of the hot air balloon led by Xu Changqing has approached ten miles southeast of Ailing Lake.

Just half an hour ago, in an open field a few dozen miles to the south, the Model Army made a replenishment.

The method of supply must be the local method.

The hot air balloon troops all landed and took the charcoal and supplies they brought from Zhang Hu's cavalry.

This is also a plan that Xu Changqing decided after thinking about it and thinking about it several times.

Without replenishment, it would be impossible to sail such a long distance with the equipment level of the model army hot air balloon at this time.

Originally, Xu Changqing was still very worried that such a landing supply would be hit by the Qing army's lifeless blow, but as the so-called 'success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He', this rain helped a lot.

Perhaps the Qing army thought that the model army was playing tricks, they were very cautious and conservative, and the course of Xu Changqing personally led the way around those Qing army rangers.

Otherwise, under normal conditions, it would be very difficult to make the trip without paying 1,800 lives.

Chunni had already put on a mink padded jacket at this time, and she had eaten something when she was replenished, and her condition was much better.

Seeing that the Qing army camp was getting closer and closer, some outlines could already be seen, and the delicate excitement was beyond words.

But after being excited for a while, Chunni suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at Xu Changqing busily: "Brother Xu, this, in such weather, even if we fly above the heads of those Tartars, what should we do?" On this kind of day, I'm afraid firearms are going to be scrapped......"

Xu Changqing ignored Chunni, glanced at her, signaled her to be quiet, and gathered all his energy on the shore of Ailing Lake in front of him.

At this time, Ailing Lake was still very large, and between the rain and fog, there was no end in sight.

The camps of the Qing army on this side were quite scattered, especially in the direction of due south, almost more than a mile or even more than two miles before there was a decent camp, and the other scattered were small strongholds like rangers.

But around the lakeside, high dikes have been built, at least eight. Nine meters high, extremely stocky and heavy, the intention seems to be self-evident.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attackβ€”"

Xu Changqing spared a long way at this time, cutting in from the southeast side of Ailing Lake, although the fortifications of the Qing army here were well repaired, but the manpower was obviously much less.

Without the Han minions as the foundation, it is definitely not enough to rely on the real Manchurian manpower.

After the sharp-eyed Qing army sentry discovered the movement of the model army, the camps of all departments soon fell into a state of chaos, and chickens and dogs jumped.

Xu Changqing greeted Li Fengshou, who was driving a hot air balloon, and said, "Harvest, are you sure?" ”

Li Fengshou was nervous and excited at this time, thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "There are seven points of certainty!" ”

Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile: "Then don't be in a hurry, let the precision shooter suppress it first!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Fengshou was a little confused, and he couldn't keep up with Xu Changqing's rhythm for a while. In this state, if you don't directly blow up the dam and release the water, why do you have to suppress it first?

However, the military order was like a mountain, and Li Fengshou had already formed an inertia to obey the order, and soon, the standard-bearer next to him issued an order.

The precision shooters had been preparing for a long time, and they took out their carefully wrapped enhanced sniper guns, and the carefully selected 'small weight' auxiliaries also quickly pulled up the rain cloth.

Here, Chunni also excitedly took out her sniper gun.

Xu Changqing smiled, looked at his sniper gun, but still didn't take it out, and instead pulled up the rain cloth to help Chunni pull up the space to ensure shooting.

The normal hot air balloon configuration of the Model Army is three people, and the large hot air balloon is four people, one driver, one precision shooter, and one pitcher, and the large hot air balloon generally requires two pitchers, or a flag bearer.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this time, for various reasons, there are four people on the ordinary hot air balloon, one pilot, one precision shooter, one pitcher, and one auxiliary.

Of course, Xu Changqing's hot air balloon is a little special, Xu Changqing is a pitcher and an accurate shooter, and Chunni is actually playing a supporting role.

But this state seems to be reversed......

At this time, the weather is humid and cold, and firearms are also afraid of moisture, but who can act as a model soldier of the hot air balloon hot air balloon class, which one is not a good hand?

Although the sniper gun of the model army is not a rifle, it is almost like the top version of the arquebus, and it is a fixed smokeless gunpowder, and after pulling up the tarpaulin, everyone quickly adjusts the space and state, and soon adjusts to the state that can be fired.

"Bang!"

"Bang ......"

I don't know who fired the first shot first, and soon the crisp chirping of birds began in a row.

In the camp of the Qing army on the ground, those true Manchuria who had no task were fine, lying on the ground and pretending to be ostriches, but those who had tasks and had to spread the news were poured blood mold.

Rao is movements are very agile one by one, thinking of conveying the terrifying news from here to the northern front and approaching the Grand Canal as soon as possible, but they have completely become a live target for the accurate shooters of the model army.

No way.

This state of vision, for the accurate shooters of the model army, is like an eagle catching a rabbit, and they don't run at all.

"Ah......h

"Run, get the word out......"

In the crisp chirping of birds, the brave True Manchuria kept falling to the ground.

Even if the rainy day at this time can make the clothes soaked and increase some of the resistance, the suppressive blow of the model army at a height of 100 meters means that as long as it is hit, it means that there is more luck than luck.

This is also the terrible thing about buckshot.

Even if it is only scratched by lead bullet, it must be contaminated with the toxicity of lead bullet in a hot state, and according to the medical conditions of this era, the consequences can be imagined.

After two or three rounds of firing, the Qing army camp was almost suppressed, and no one dared to raise their heads.

But there were still some Qing army rangers in the positions that could not be covered by the model army around, and they were in a hurry to send the news out.

"Hey, what's the matter with them, shrinking like this, how can I hit......"

When the battle situation was gradually completely controlled by the Model Army, Chunni was a little anxious.

No way.

Compared to the precision shooter, she is as tender as a rookie......

Although she fired two shots excitedly, she fired two shots, and those old fritter precision shooters could often fire three or even four shots.

The scale of this camp is not too big, only seven or eight hundred people, two cattle are more than a point, how can there be so many targets for her to practice?

Xu Changqing took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already seven thirty-five, and it was about to be the eight o'clock general attack time that he had agreed with Wang Pu and Wang Tingchen.

Directly greeted Li Fengshou and the standard-bearer: "Continue to suppress, and in addition, prepare to choose a point to blast!" If conditions permit, directly land and blast accurately! ”

"Yes!"

The order was quickly relayed.

The standard-bearer immediately began to adjust the formation of the hot air balloon troops with the flag language, and Li Fengshou was also shouting loudly the strange slogans of their hot air balloon troops, and adjusted the formation under them.

"Not good!"

"The model army of the dog day is going to blow up the dam......"

The Qing army was not stupid, seeing that the hot air balloon troops of the model army in the sky gradually converged in the direction of the embankment, and continued to sink and strike more fiercely, some old Manchuria had already realized the intention of the model army, and was anxious to scream.

"Rush over, death can't let them blow up the dam!"

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, push them up......"

"Whoosh ......"

True Manchuria is really brave.

even if

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

At this time, it is necessary to face the blow of the accurate shooters of the model army, and it can be seen that the model army is about to touch their core interests, and countless real Manchuria are frantically flocking to the direction where the model army is gathered, and they are drawing their bows and arrows.

"Haha, I shot, Brother Xu, I shot a Tartar, he fell, he fell......"

Just when Xu Changqing was frowning and carefully looking at this group of real Manchurians with yellow flags and white flags, there was a crisp 'bang' around him, and Chun Nixuan couldn't stop cheering.

Following the direction of Chun Niyu's finger, Xu Changqing really saw a white armor with a yellow flag falling to the ground in pain, screaming and rolling like a beast, and his hand was firmly covering the inner position of his left thigh.

"This ......"

Xu Changqing was a little speechless.

Chunni, this girl, is too bad, isn't this torture......

Chunni also realized that her marksmanship was a bit too much at this time, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she stuck out her little tongue, but she glanced at Xu Changqing again.

It's not easy for her to hit this villain, and he still doesn't praise her well.

"Whoosh!"

was about to praise Chunni and let her be honest for a while, but Xu Changqing's ears moved, and he immediately threw Chunni aside, "Be careful!" ”

In the next moment, the hot air balloon shook violently a few times, and a cold arrow flew out against Xu Changqing's scalp, nailing directly to the shoulder of an unstable standard-bearer behind him.

"Ahh

The standard-bearer suddenly wailed in pain, and his body was about to fall out of the basket.

"Be careful!"

Xu Changqing's eyes were quick, and he pushed Chunni away, and the swift ape-like grabbed the standard-bearer's hand.

The flag-bearer was instantly taken into the basket by Xu Changqing, and his face hit the protective fence by the stove directly, and the nosebleed spurted out, and there was another miserable scream.

However, although his face was touched, his life was saved.

Li Fengshou was also taken aback, and couldn't stop scolding, beckoning a precision shooter to strike.

But at this time, the Qing army also didn't want to die, and suddenly, the model army hot air balloon was also a little messy, and it couldn't be adjusted at all for a while.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he checked the flag bearer's injury.

The feather arrow was stuck in the gap of the shoulder guard, although it was bloody, and it looked like it had gone in a little bit, but it was only a bruise, and the feather arrow was not quenched, and it was not a big problem.

Greeted the flag bearer, fiercely helped him pull out the feather arrow, and helped him with medicine and bandage, Xu Changqing greeted Chunni and said: "Don't look up, use the pole to prop up the tarpaulin, and give me the bird!" ”

"Oh, what a ......"

Chunni seemed to be frightened at this time, but under Xu Changqing's shout, she was busy instinctively carrying out the order.

At this time, she finally understood that war was not a child's play, Xu Changqing treasured her and protected her in his hands, but the Tartars seemed to have taken her as a target, how could they dare to mess around again?

As the rain cloth propped up and pulled out the small space, Xu Changqing quickly adjusted Chunni's sniper gun.

"Whoosh!"

But before Xu Changqing could finish adjusting, a cold arrow shot again!

"Dang!"

How sharp is Xu Changqing's reaction? Without thinking about it, he directly slammed the arrow and flew the arrow.

But Xu Changqing's face had sunk.

If the cold arrow just now was an accident, but it came again immediately after this time, this is obviously not an accident!

Li Fengshou also realized that he was being targeted, and hurriedly whispered: "Dashuai, it seems that someone is eyeing us, do you want to raise the height?" ”

Xu Changqing picked up the basket, only revealing his eyes, quickly looked down, and soon noticed that behind the earthen wall behind a large tent, the firelight reflected half of the shadow of a figure, as if he was setting up an arrow.

Xu Changqing suddenly couldn't stop sneering: "Don't worry! Harvest, you stabilize first! Lao Tzu wants to see who is so yin! ”
