When Arequipa was besieged, Thomas ordered Morabase, who was in charge of supervising the horses, to keep the main large horse farms hidden.

Thomas and Molabase underestimated the strength of the Chinese Independence Army, thinking that with the help of three Peruvian reinforcements, the Chinese army would soon be repulsed, so Morabase just moved his horse to a large mountain 300 miles away from Arequipa, wanting to wait until the Peruvian reinforcements defeated the Chinese Independence Army.

"Lord Morabase, there is no news of the people sent to Arequipa, there will be no danger in Arequipa City, right?"

"Arequipa is well defended, and General Iquitok still has 7,000 elite troops under his command, even if he can't go out of the city for a decisive battle, there is still no problem in defending the city gates." Morabase did not believe that the Chinese army would be able to capture Arequipa, but he did not receive news of Arequipa for two days, and he was also a little worried.

"Send two more soldiers, all the way to Arequipa, all the way to find out the whereabouts of General Umato."

According to the distance from Puno to Arequipa, Umato should have arrived in Arequipa a day ago, and now there is no news coming, could it be delayed for other reasons? Morabase mused.

Six Peruvian soldiers galloped out of the military horse field with two horses each, and came directly towards the cavalry regiment.

"Company Commander Fang, take a platoon to stop them, remember to catch them alive." At the exit of the mountain, Li Dawei said to the commander of the reconnaissance company.

"Understood," said Fang Minhong, the commander of the reconnaissance company, pulling his war horse and outflanking the Peruvian cavalry with thirty cavalrymen.

The cavalry regiment is the sharp knife unit of the Chinese Independent Army, while the reconnaissance company of the cavalry regiment is the sharp knife of the sharp knives.

"There is an enemy, and the Peruvian messengers found the Chinese cavalry outflanked on both sides, and with a sound of alertness, the six people scattered and left.

The standard armament of the soldiers of the cavalry regiment is a rifle, a sabre,

Fang Minghong was different from ordinary cavalrymen, in addition to knives and guns, he also had a pair of bows and arrows.

Bows and arrows have withdrawn from the historical stage of war after the popularization of firearms, but as a cavalry officer, Fang Minghong believes that a real cavalry must be a person who knows how to bow and arrow, so he has always carried his bow and arrows, even if he came to South America as a miner, he buried his bow and arrow not far from the mine.

After Li Mingyuan launched the Chinese Workers' Uprising, Fang Minghong joined the Chinese Independent Army, and was appointed as the reconnaissance company commander by Li Daweiyuan because of his excellent riding skills.

Fang Minghong rode his horse to chase a Peruvian cavalryman,

The six Peruvian cavalry scattered and fled was simply useless, Fang Minghong put down his right hand and made a gesture of free fighting, and the surrounding soldiers immediately understood, turned their horses' heads, and chased the six Peruvian soldiers separately.

The soldiers of the reconnaissance company have good combat effectiveness, but the Peruvian cavalry sent by Morabase this time is not mediocre, and the six Peruvian cavalry rushed left and right, constantly mobilizing the Chinese cavalry to surround it, and the soldiers of the thirty reconnaissance companies fought on a par with the soldiers of the thirty reconnaissance companies.

These six Peruvian cavalrymen are the descendants of authentic Indians, and unlike the descendants of European immigrants such as Thomas, they still retain some of the original fighting blood.

"Brothers, leave one or two alive, and kill all the rest." Fang Minghong was worried that if he continued like this, he would let go of the Peruvian cavalry, so he ordered decisively.

Just now, in consideration of Li Dawei's order to stay alive, the soldiers of the 30 reconnaissance companies used the tactics of outflanking and encircling, and the soldiers of the five reconnaissance companies were in a group to surround one Peruvian cavalry.

Hearing that only one or two live mouths remained, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company stopped circling with the Peruvian cavalry and fired directly on their horses.

The accuracy of shooting immediately is not as high as aiming on the ground, but five or six Chinese cavalry shoot together, and one or two can always hit.

The Chinese soldiers moved their real hands, and the Peruvian cavalry immediately couldn't support it, and the six Peruvian cavalry went through two rounds of fire from the reconnaissance company, and only two Peruvian cavalry were still on horseback.

On three sides was an encirclement of rifle fire by soldiers of the reconnaissance company, and only Fang Minhong rode alone to the south.

The remaining two Peruvian cavalrymen looked at each other, and rushed towards Fang Minghong's side.

A smile appeared at the corner of Fang Minghong's mouth. He waited for the Peruvian cavalry to throw himself into the net, and when he whipped the horse that sat down, he charged at the two Peruvian cavalrymen at full speed.

Fang Minghong and the two Peruvian cavalrymen narrowed the distance to 100 meters, holding the reins in his left hand, raising the rifle in his right hand and pulling the trigger, using the high-speed impact inertia of the horse, one shot hit the right hand of the Peruvian cavalry holding the gun in front, and the Peruvian cavalry who was hit in the right hand fell directly from the horse in pain for a while, and was captured and tied up by the soldiers of the reconnaissance company who followed closely behind.

The rest of the Peruvian cavalry was shocked, there were pursuers in the back, and there was a strong enemy in front, so he couldn't hesitate, raised his rifle and immediately shot at Fang Minghong, the Peruvian cavalry lost his head because of panic, and the bullet was two meters away from Fang Minghong.

When the Peruvian cavalry raised his gun to shoot, Fang Minghong had already reacted, threw away the rifle in his hand, quickly hid sideways behind the horse, and waited until the Peruvian cavalry shot with a shot, then drew the longbow and shot an arrow, pointing directly at the thigh of the Peruvian cavalry cavalry.

With a scream, the Peruvian cavalryman was shot in the leg and fell from his horse,

When Fang Minghong shoots arrows, the first goal is to shoot a horse, because after the war horse is hit by an arrow, it will definitely throw the Peruvian cavalry on the horse down, which is much simpler than shooting people.

However, Fang Minghong thought that once he shot this horse, with Li Dawei's temper, he would definitely have to reprimand him.

There is no way, there are not many horses in the Chinese Independence Army, Li Dawei can't wait to get all the military horses assigned by Li Mingyuan to senior officers to be cavalry, if Fang Minghong shoots the war horse for no reason, it is strange that he is not angry.

After getting two Peruvian cavalrymen, Fang Minghong exhaled heavily, the life of riding horses and archery is the life he likes to live.

"The company commander shot at the head and got two Peruvian cavalrymen at once." The soldiers of the reconnaissance company who arrived praised it.

"Company commander, you are so good at archery, when will you shoot an Andean Condor and show it to the brothers."

"Yes, company commander, the injuries of the condor shot by the prince a month ago have recovered, and I saw the condor in person last time?"

War horses, eagles, every man who is a soldier wants to have them, and Fang Minghong is no exception.

"No problem, when the troops are repaired, I will ask the regiment commander for instructions, and when the time comes, we will catch the eagle together." Fang Minghong said with a smile.

Taking twelve military horses and taking the two captured Peruvian cavalrymen, Fang Minghong returned to the hiding place of the cavalry regiment.

The soldiers of the cavalry regiment interrogated the two Peruvian cavalrymen in a different way, and they immediately told what they knew.

"Commander, they don't know the news of Arequipa's capture yet."

"In order to successfully conquer other places, the prince put martial law around Arequipa, so the news did not spread." Li Dawei said.

"The enemy's situation has been figured out, and the regiment commander gave the order to attack."

When Fang Minghong was rounding up the Peruvian cavalry, the other three detachments met with Li Dawei one after another.

There were plenty of manpower, and Li Dawei did not hesitate and immediately ordered an attack.
