Approaching dusk, the sky became more and more gray, the Hui army rangers appeared like ghosts, they were very scattered, and the personnel were rare, more than 30 horsemen entered the artillery range, about 2,000 meters away from the loess gang, still slowly wearing flowers and walking around the horse, close to the Li Ziying position, behaving quite bravely, but also very arrogant, on horseback made a standing motion, as if to tell the enemy on the slope that they were brave Hui warriors

Fu Guozhong couldn't bear it, and the charge didn't seem to have any fun, so he couldn't help it, and said, "Master Li, let me lead a small team to rush, and I promise to kill more than half of the enemy."

Li Guolou put down his hand and shook his head with the binoculars and said: "You can't fight with the enemy, there are marksmen and good guns, and we won't do half of the thing."

"Master Li, then let me have a salvo, let them know how powerful we are," Fan Ye, who was in charge of howitzers and mortars, was eager to try the right thing, but he didn't have a chance to fire, and now this distance was just right for him to exert the power of the cannon

"If you fire a salvo of 20 cannons, I will kill five enemies with tigers and flies, and you will be counted as meritorious service," Li Guolou agreed, wasting some shells, and now he can still aim at the enemy, and at night, the cannons can only rely on blind fire, and their lethality is sharply reduced

"It's me, it's half of the target, hahahaha," Fan Ye happily pulled the armed belt around his waist with his hand and ran quickly towards the artillery position

A roar erupted from the loess hill, twenty cannons rose up, and twenty shells of different sizes flew into the sky

The cavalry of the Hui army scattered and fled, and there was no time to be arrogant, and the whip was whipped with force, trying to make the crotch frightened and frenzy, and the horse point was out of the artillery range

The commander of the Hui army, Ha Lianhu, looked at people with an old eye, and thought that there would be no danger in sending more than 30 rangers, and he often did this in the past, and the artillery of the Qing army would not open fire on the scattered rangers, which was a matter of common sense, and there would be no mistake in fighting with many Qing troops, but this time Ha Lianhu was wrong, because the Li Zi battalion was not short of shells, and the twenty shells smashed together and scattered and fled back to the cavalry

Fan Ye has already skillfully used all kinds of artillery in Li Ziying, and he still admires Li Guolou's long-sleeved and good dancing, and he can collect good Prussian artillery, but on the face, he seems to have the same good or bad cannons, these cannons are no different from the Franco cannons he used in the past, and he shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Fire"

Before he finished speaking, he saw one after another cannonballs shooting at the enemy three thousand meters away with a whining and screaming sound, and he couldn't help but look at the sky and the Adam's apple rolled up and down rapidly

Not far from him, the artillery observers were nervously and anxiously waiting for the effect of the cannonballs landing on the ground, watching the cannonballs whizz in the sky, shouting "Ancestor bless"

The hammer struck the ground, the earth trembled, the cannonballs fell from the sky, and the heavy cannonballs shook as if they were going to break people's lungs

Boom, boom, boom

The cannonballs exploded to form a shock wave, mixed with fragments of iron, like sharp blades, flying everywhere, these knights of the Hui army, wearing heavy armor, were also spurted with blood, not to mention that they had nothing but a sheepskin coat

Some shrapnel pierced the war horse at close range, and there were many large and small shrapnel deep inserted on the body of the war horse, and the war horse was frightened and crazy under the pain, jumped wildly, and fell to the ground in a jerk, and the Hui cavalry threw it out

"Good ······" The 3,000 soldiers on the loess hill were clamoring and shouting

Fan Ye laughed and looked at another artillery officer, Xun Xi, more than half of the enemy's casualties, and the front was clean again, and the next thing was his scenery, and the long-distance Krupp cannon could only be used as an obstacle to resist the impact of the horse team

Li Ziying taught Ha Lianhu another lesson, it turned out that the loose formation would also be thundered and angry, watching more than a dozen rangers flee back in embarrassment, Ha Lianhu was furious, he was originally a hot temper, but now he was like he was going to eat people, and he roared: "Bastard pigtail army, Li Ziying's artillery is sharp, and this army must not be allowed to save money, no matter how big the cost is, these artillery will be destroyed, eat now, feed the horses, etc., and when it gets dark, touch it and step on the loess gang, the army horn is blowing at the moment, and when the time comes, you will attack Yang Dawazi on three sides, you 1,300 people will attack the east, who dares to save the strength, my grandmother cut off his head"

"It's because I have long wanted to avenge my brothers," Yang Dawazi drank without hesitation, and when he accepted the military order, he turned around and turned his face into a smile, and only his two brothers in life and death knew the meaning

He Mingtang and Mu San couldn't help but shoot their eyes to the grove next to them, where An Jie was lying and resting, that person's head was also valuable, and he had long been wanted by the government, so he should first care about An Jie's body, this person must not die, and the "three Taoyuan brothers" will rely on the "knife guest" An Jie to knock on the door of survival

There were sporadic gunshots from the surrounding positions, gunsmoke and gunsmoke in the air could not be dispersed for a long time, and the sentry horse sat in a dirt pit on this temporary safe position, doing difficult self-adjustment, killing people and soldiers and not killing people, there are too many different things in the heart of the soldiers, endure the torment of human nature, he has grown and matured from a rookie soldier in actual combat, and has grown, matured, and transformed

Ma Dazi sat next to his good friend oil gourd, and the two came to Li Guolou's house on the same day to find a job, and now they are also sitting in the same tunnel

Oil gourd in the past, Jingshi was just a small person, relying on the superior status of the Manchurian people, the Ministry of Rites registered a vacant place, waiting for God to give him a chance, and then finally it was the turn of the Ministry of Rites to assign him and the other seven people to the three-grade official to be the eight-lift sedan chair man, he could be Li Guolou's sedan chair man, thinking that he could eat a meal, but he didn't expect Li Guolou not to want a sedan chair man, and he and other seven broad-shouldered and round strong men finally had a turn to eat the emperor's grain, who was willing to give up, and later became a Li Guolou Goshha, while studying, learning military skills, getting rid of some old problems in oil and gas, and demanding himself with the standard of a personal soldier guard

Because he has been riding a horse and practicing martial arts since he was a child, he entered the oil gourd and walked very fast, so he stood out from a group of people

The oil hyacinth battlefield career started from sentry, and it may be common to stand guard during training before, but when you really go to the front line, it feels completely different

The first time I was standing guard, I was very nervous, the bullets were on top, the safety was open, ready to fight at any time, the night was approaching, the sky was getting darker and darker, nervously staring at the movement under the hillside, the cavalry of the Hui Army had not moved, the first post on the battlefield was nervous, excited, and a little scared, and spent the two hands constantly off the butt, wiped the sweat stains on the palms of the sleeves

Ma Dazi comforted: "Don't be afraid of the oil gourd, you see me as a ranger, and I will survive from under the nose of the enemy, the enemy has no cannon, the gun is old, we don't have to be afraid of aiming, shoot and rush to the front, we don't have to be afraid, we still have a spike gun, we also have the advantage in hand-to-hand combat, I will cover you."

Ma Dazi later participated in the sentry tour, for the first time in his life, he saw the enemy alive, standing in the distance, looking at each other, and the officer Hu Yinshan asked him to come back to pass the news, and then went to inspect the position of the Hui cavalry, Xiao Shi led the Hui army sentry and the Hui army sentry cavalry to fight with real guns and live ammunition once, there were constant gunshots and explosions around him, as if the enemy was about to kill him, and the danger was imminent, but he still came back alive

The oil gourd comforted himself: "For the reunification of the motherland, it is also worth dying in the Great Northwest, for the emperor, for the queen mother, for the honor of the ancestors, and for Lord Li, I am not afraid of a dead horse, who is covering whom, and I don't know who is covering whom, and it is nothing to do a two-day tour."

"Well, don't panic, see clearly, shoot again, the moon is rising, the rebels are about to rush up," Ma Da crotch pulled the bolt of the gun, tried to open his eyes wide, looking at the faint moonlight loess slope, saw another pit in the two Mongols showing their big pie faces and beckoning to him, Ma Da crotch raised the spike gun above his head, and it was up to this guy to make a contribution

The shadows of the trees are swaying, the real grass and trees are soldiers, not because of fear, but because of the high degree of nervousness, the lives of the comrades behind them rely on the sentinels to take care of them, and a human head can be faintly seen on the slopes around them, this is a group of soldiers who have experienced the battlefield for the first time, and so far they may not be able to face death like Li Yunzhuo, and they have not smelled blood at close range, but they have come to the battlefield after all

Faced with darkness and loneliness, it is unpredictable and dangerous, but it is so real, bloody, rainy, and bloody, the wind on the battlefield is full of soldiers, the wind is nervous, and the panic makes people worry, and they have to admire Li Guolou's courage in coming to the battlefield in person

When you come to the battlefield, you will feel small, like a small boat in the sea, you can only go with the flow, the commander is not omnipotent, the battlefield is a fighter, and the soldier plays a role at every point, and Li Guolou can only sit quietly in a carriage and look at the map, which is simple, but a hand-drawn combat map contains many contents, the staffing in each direction, the position of each artillery, where the horse team is located, and where the five teams of people and horses in the reserve are placed

The three men and horses under his command are not elite soldiers in a hundred battles, otherwise they would not sit back and wait for help, Li Guolou abandoned unrealistic illusions, walked out of the carriage and stepped on the ice-covered loess slope, and the elite soldiers relied on fighting to train the soldiers, which was just a means and the effect was tested by actual combat

A wounded ranger sat on the ground, blood flowed from the wound, staining his body with gauze red, and his face still had a childish look on his face, when he was accompanied by the army as a guard of "Cai Mao Tang", Hu Xiaohua was full of longing for the future, but this accidental disability made him spend the rest of his life in disability

The ranger gritted his teeth and refused to scream, both physically and psychologically, and his dream of being a soldier was over

Fan Dahui straddled two revolvers in his waist and approached the wounded man, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Hu is so good that he doesn't say a word now, he is a good man, one arm is wasted, and he can still kill the enemy with a revolver in the future, so follow me and be my Goshha in the future."

Hu Yangyue, the proprietor of "Caimaotang", was extremely dissatisfied and said: "Master Rice, Xiao Yang, is my person, I didn't say that I wouldn't support him, I still want to reward him with a wife, do you have it?"

"Hehe, I still want Master Li to reward his wife, where is there enough to give him" Fan Dahui did not lose his humorous nature, causing the people around him to laugh, although it was just a joke, it could make the people around him feel warm

The commander is not afraid of death, and he is around to boost morale, so that every soldier has strength, and this passion and impact power transform these cowardly and cowardly people into warriors who dare to kill

Every officer tried to boost the morale of his squad, and the trickle converged into a big river, and everyone in the Li Zi Battalion became a soldier, and they had already united into a rope regardless of officers and soldiers, and the people had twisted together into a rope, and the Loess Ridge was coiled into a long rope, like one ring after another, to strangle the enemy's neck, and put people to death at any time
