On the road to Patibilca, the Peruvian army of 5,000 men stretched for more than a dozen miles.

"Passat, how far is it from the Duraya Mine?" Salva, who was on a tall horse, asked.

"After the valley ahead, it's fifty miles away," Passat said, pointing to the narrow valley path ahead.

"Tell the soldiers behind to hurry up and try to reach Duraya before two o'clock in the afternoon."

Passat and the heralds relayed Salva's orders, and the heralds raced and ran to the troops behind.

On both sides of the valley, in the dense grass, Li Mingyuan took a telescope to observe the Peruvian army entering the valley, and said happily, "Obediently, the Peruvians are so generous, they sent a thousand cavalry to Lao Tzu." ”

"Shizi, let me take a look at Lao Chen." Chen Guozhu, who was lying next to Li Mingyuan, couldn't help but speak.

Li Mingyuan handed the telescope to Chen Guozhu, and through the telescope, Chen Guozhu could clearly see the Peruvian cavalry walking in front of the troops.

"Obediently, Peruvians are really willing to spend money, more than a thousand tall horses, I think when I followed the king, Lao Tzu was not so wide."

The horse ridden by the Peruvian cavalry is called the Paso horse, Peruvian South America originally had no horses, and the local people have carefully cultivated it for nearly three centuries, through crossbreeding, selection and breed improvement, to have the current Peruvian Paso horse.

Pasoma is docile by nature and has a long stamina, which can travel more than 60 kilometers a day. This horse can also overcome high temperature and cold climates, different geomorphological conditions, suitable for plateaus, coasts, valleys and other living environments, becoming a veritable good breed horse.

Paso horses have a very personable appearance, they have the blood of European horses and Arabian horses, they are strong, medium in stature, have a large head, have a broad and muscular chest, a short and strong neck, small and pointed ears, thin and powerful legs, and are known as the most comfortable mounts.

"Son, after capturing the Peruvian cavalry, I want five hundred horses." Chen Guozhu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the tall horse, and he wanted to go halfway as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Uncle Chen, five hundred horses is impossible, at most let you pick one horse to ride, but I plan to set up a cavalry unit for this batch of horses?"

Li Mingyuan didn't let go at all.

"Shizi, don't be like this, I Lao Chen take a step back, don't do much, just let me form a cavalry company."

Hearing that Li Mingyuan did not let go at all, Chen Guozhu hurriedly said.

"No, cavalry can only be used intensively to exert its maximum power." Li Mingyuan shook his head and said.

Chen Guozhu wanted to say more, but Li Mingyuan raised his hand to stop his words,

"Uncle Chen, don't speak, the enemy is conducting a tentative reconnaissance." As soon as Li Mingyuan finished speaking, more than a dozen gunshots rang out, and a bullet hit the arm of a soldier not far from Li Mingyuan's side, and the soldier who was hit by the bullet gritted his teeth and did not let himself speak.

"The ambulance soldiers hurry up and take the wounded down." Li Mingyuan said in a low voice.

Two paramedics immediately took the wounded down and bandaged them.

"Tell the brothers that this is a tentative reconnaissance by the Peruvians and do not reveal their location."

Li Mingyuan said to the herald beside him.

The herald quietly passed orders to the other troops.

"Report to the Commander, the reconnaissance is complete, and there is no anomaly in the valley." The officer who led the reconnaissance reported.

"I've always felt a little unsure," Salva whispered to the chief of staff beside him.

"The Chinese workers probably wouldn't have known that we would come to encircle and suppress them so soon, let alone have the courage to take the initiative to attack us."

Passat analyzed.

"Well, what you said is reasonable, I was overly concerned, and ordered the rear to speed up the whole army through the valley."

With Salva's order, the Peruvian soldiers behind all entered the ambush circle of the Chinese Independence Army in less than twenty minutes.

"Uncle Chen, you lead the first division to surround the Peruvian cavalry troops in front of the valley, remember to just surround them, don't take the initiative to attack, wait until I solve the Peruvian army behind, and then persuade them to surrender."

"Yes, I understand."

"The whole army listens to the order, and will use my gunfire as a signal later, as soon as the gunfire goes off, all the troops will attack according to the original plan, do you understand?"

"Understood," the officer next to him whispered.

"Return to your respective teams and immediately follow my orders." Li Mingyuan finally reminded.

The commanders of each unit quietly returned to their respective units, Li Mingyuan took the rifle in his hand, aimed at an officer surrounded by everyone, pulled the trigger, and a gunshot rang out, and the Peruvian officer fell from his horse in response.

"Not good, there is an ambush." Passat shouted, and hurriedly looked at Salva, who was hit,

Speaking of which, Salva was also unlucky, and he came out to fight and wore out his eye-catching lieutenant general's dress, but was shot dead by Li Mingyuan.

Passat's luck was much better than Salva's, and when Li Mingyuan fired a shot and wanted to kill the officer who was walking side by side with the officer who had just been hit, Passat had already dismounted and was protected by the soldiers around him.

As Li Mingyuan's gunfire rang out, the soldiers of the Chinese Independence Army above the valley of 20 miles let out a shout and rushed towards the mountains like tigers, the ambush position of the Chinese Independence Army was less than 100 meters away from the valley, and the Peruvian soldiers were divided and surrounded by the Chinese soldiers who rushed down as soon as they fired two shots.

"Oh no, sir, we're surrounded by rebels." A Peruvian regiment commander said hurriedly with a military cap crookedly.

"Wagett, the Chinese workers are short of weapons, you lead the soldiers to resist me." Passat ordered.

Passat did not know that Li Mingyuan had bought a large number of weapons from the Prussians, and he did not know enough about the combat strength of the Chinese army, and if he could retreat decisively at this time, he might be able to save five or six hundred men.

A one-minute mistake on the battlefield can lead to a change in the balance of victory, when Captain Waggett led the soldiers to organize the defense, the Peruvian army had been divided and surrounded into a dozen small pieces, and the machine gun that the Peruvians thought was the decisive weapon was also killed by Chinese snipers, and the Peruvian army lost the last chance to escape.

"Brothers, there is a group of officers here, hurry up and kill them with me, don't be snatched by other troops."

Wu Feipeng's face was covered with blood, and he charged forward with a bright broadsword, and two Peruvian soldiers who were blocking in front were killed by him with two knives, which frightened the Peruvian soldiers in front of him to flee.
