Li Yunkai was only thirteen years old, hunting and the cold wind did not extinguish his enthusiasm, courage, thin face, young man looked old, Li Yunkai used to be a thief in the Beijing beggar gang, worshiped under the door of Li Guolou, became Li Guolou's son, let him have today's status and power, he doesn't like to read, there is a tyrannical tendency in his temperament, he likes to carry a gun to fight, he is not afraid of death, and has the opportunity to command the war, so that his blood boils

The people next to him are all heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and under his command, let Li Yunkai be heroic, he wants to make contributions like his father-in-law, become famous as a young man, look around at the subordinates, they are all ready to go, silently waiting for his order, a pair of eyes glowing with a scorching light

Li Yunkai jumped on the war horse in disgust, held his Mauser gun high and shouted: "The third squad of the pro-guard team will come with me, let's fight rabbits."

"Oh, oh, oh," the three guards of the third squad of the pro-guard team rode down the hill, brandished their Mauser guns to salute the working people, and they went to walk the rabbits first

A big flag of Li Zi was planted and immediately greeted the rolling yellow dust, it represented the courage and determination of the Li Zi battalion, and five sentry cavalry hurried to bring a battle report: about 2 cavalry of the Hui army, divided into three teams, two miles apart to search and advance, and there were Hui army sentry cavalry moving around to contact

The dotted figures in the distance made everyone nervous, Fu Guozhong raised his hand to cover his forehead, squinted in front of him, and said, "At least 3 sentinels are three miles away."

"Catch up," Li Yunkai was full of spirits, although there were only more than 30 of them, and the number of the other party was ten times that of them, but he did not have the word "afraid" in his dictionary

The crowd cheered and shouted, raising their spears and approaching the Hui sentinels

In the wind, there was a faint sound of hooves of the cavalry of the Hui army, a morale-boosting shout, from the right wing of the Hui army, the cavalry sounded in the middle, Li Ziqi appeared in the distance, and told the Li Zi battalion transport team that was close at hand, pigtailed dogs, you can't run now, the leader of the team is An Jie, who has always fought bravely, likes to rush and kill, as a sentry horse, he is not afraid of death

Due to the sudden sound of gunfire in the Loess Ridge, the Li Zi Battalion of the Qing army did not enter the ambush circle, which disrupted the original combat plan of the Hui army, allowing the commander Ha Lianhu to attack in advance

An Jie never liked to be mixed up, he wanted to step on the Li Ziqi under the iron hooves, and before the commander Ha Lianhu gave him the order to advance to his team, An Jie had already led his 2 men and horses to advance towards the Loess Ridge, he had a reason to do so, the spies said that the regular army of the Li Zi Battalion was less than 1 man, the horse cavalry was less, and the others were powerless, and he had 2 cavalry, enough to surround the Li Zi Battalion, as for the cavalry duel, how could the Qing army compete with the people on horseback, the other two teams of men and horses were only two miles apart, and in a blink of an eye, the pigtail dog would only tremble and dodge behind the vehicle and shoot

The sky has eyes, and the pigtailed dog actually killed himself, "The warriors killed all the pigtailed dogs", An Jie's battle blood boiled rapidly, and he waved his command knife and shouted: "Wash your war knife with Tartar blood"

In response, he was a 3rd round of cavalry, wild shouts, his legs suddenly kicked on the horse's belly, and pierced the horse's belly with iron thorns on his boots, and the war horse was stabbed and bloody, and galloped forward like crazy, and the 3rd army cavalry wanted to snatch the Li flag

An Jie's mind swelled and drooled because of the close proximity, and his beautiful war knife decorated with rubies waved in the hunting wind and shouted: "Blow the trumpet"

The dull trombone of the Hui army pierced through the sky and told the troops behind to move forward, and the rolling torrent rolled up a large area of yellow dust under the sun's light, sweeping like a tornado, and the granular dust drifted into the air, making it impossible to open your eyes and even breathe

The Li Ziying squad in front was extensive, and the yellow earth was flying for two miles, facing the duel, testing everyone's nerves, and there would be danger to their lives at any time within two miles, but they still gently winded on the loess to meet the returning army

Visually, within a thousand meters, the cavalry of the Li Ziying reined in the reins, and the war horse immediately turned at high speed, and each cavalryman raised his Mauser gun in his hand and fired the first shot at the rolling returning army

Like firecrackers, the sound crackled, more than 30 bullets shot nearly a thousand meters, the cavalry of the Hui army, the sentry cavalry of the Hui army, the cavalry rode for a while, people turned over on their horses, more than a dozen cavalrymen fell from the horses, either dead or wounded, some of the horses also lost their front hooves, fell to the ground, and the back could not control the war horses, and a batch of them fell

This is not far from the Hui cavalry, the cavalry has not fired, they can't hit the gun in their hands for a thousand meters, the Anjie army is a ragtag army, how can there be any Russian construction, even 800 meters has no lethality, but the 3-man horse team seems to be unaffected, without hesitation, following the Li Zi military flag, they can afford this loss, as long as they enter the range, these pigtails will be trampled into pulp

The cavalry of the Hui army frantically pierced the horse's belly with spurs, whipped the horse's buttocks with whips in his hands, and the war horses were bloody, and followed closely behind the cavalry of the Li Ziying battalion, biting and biting

"Catch up and kill them," An Jie raised his arms and shouted, "Kill them all to avenge the dead brothers"

An Jie looked at the large army of cavalry attacking after him, and the trombone horn was long and high, "Go, brothers, go and establish the kingdom of the Hui people, kill all the pigtailed dogs"

An Jie waved his hand and signaled the large army to follow, overwhelming the Qing army with a thunderous momentum, and let Li Ziying return to the army, and the warriors trembled under their iron hooves

The sound of the killing of the golden iron horse in the loess ridge shook the sky and the iron hooves flew

An Jie is not a hot head, this is a plain area, the enemy cannot have an ambush, even if there is an ambush, he can retreat with his whole body, so he will not hesitate to blow the horn of attack, the large army increased the speed of marching, the earth trembled, the rolling yellow dust rolled up smoke, less than 5 kilometers away from the Loess Ridge

Xun Xi didn't believe that Li Guolou would succeed, the long-range artillery would not be powerful, and a small group of rangers would enter the firing range, and he would not use a tiger to fight flies, until he saw a large group of Hui cavalry entering the firing range, which made him unable to believe his eyes, the general of the Hui army was a fool, how could he miss the reason to let him aim in broad daylight

Within 10,000 meters and 5,000 meters, there are thousands of cavalry in the Hui army, like ants, the pressure is as black as the end, so what are you waiting for, this artillery is under his command, two Krupp cannons with a caliber of 12 mm and a range of 15 kilometers, eight Krupp cannons with a caliber of 8 mm and a range of 8 kilometers, these ten cannons are enough to make the Hui cavalry unable to eat and walk around

Xun Xi raised his chest and raised his belly, held the gun mirror to calculate the distance, and only calculated the distance in a moment, and shouted loudly: "The target is 5 degrees and 4 kilometers due west."

Immediately, the eight observers next to the Krupp cannon shouted in unison: "The target is 5 degrees and 4 kilometers due west."

In the roar of "5 degrees 4 kilometers due west, with flowering shells", the observers of each artillery gun wearing hoods and helmets immediately calculated the relationship between the distance of the target and the angle of the muzzle, and rotated vigorously, and the spiral iron handle behind the tail of each gun creaked, and the muzzles of each artillery gun were slowly raised or lowered in the sound

There were also gun correctors who urgently came to the muzzle of the gun to speed the elevation angle of the gun barrel, and then everyone shouted: "The adjustment is complete."

"Adjusted Complete"

Xun Xi watched his gunners move quickly and accurately, waved his right arm in satisfaction, and shouted: "Send in the shells."

"Send in the shells," the ammunition men of each cannon roared in unison, picked up the ammunition quickly, and quickly stuffed the shells in the cart into the back of the gun chamber

These cannons are backyard cannons, the shells will explode if they don't touch the ground, they still rely on the ignition fuse, the explosives in the shells will not explode immediately when they touch the ground, the fuse is too short, the bomb will explode in advance in the air, the fuse is too long, the bomb will fall to the ground, the enemy will scatter and flee, there is still a glimmer of survival

The pusher quickly grabbed the boom lever in his hand, and with a single click, he sent the shell into the bottom of the chamber and then closed the valve

A Krupp cannon is equipped with six people, not including the bomb carriers, and the division of labor is clear, they are skillful and fluent, and half of the artillery are Dagukou artillery officers, and the other half are martial arts students

Xun Xi was full of exaggeration, and waved his hand down loudly: "Launch"

The whole loess slope trembled, the roar was deafening, ten Krupp cannons came to a salvo, and more than 3 people on the loess slope looked up to the sky, and ten cannonballs carried their ardent expectations

In an instant, ten Krupp cannons spewed smoke, enveloping all their artillery positions, and the ten cannons fired a salvo with a loud sound that made the hills tremble, and even the artillery dragged above the hills, and the cattle, horses, and camels were not neighing

The cannons spewed smoke and smoke, and at the same time, the muzzles of the guns were equally fierce, the cannon flames flashed, and the disarmed shells swirled at high speed, swept through the long sky, pierced the clear sky, and sent out a soul-stirring roar in the air

The loud noise caused the movement, and many horses on both sides stopped their movements after hearing the sound, and involuntarily looked at the sky, and the cannonball crossed the direction

At this time, the smoke of the artillery bombardment had not yet dispersed, the smoke from the artillery array choked his nose, stimulated the northwest wind to blow the smoke of gunpowder, Li Guolou's face was quite resolute, and he could win back the army by seizing the opportunity, and the commander did not understand the power of the cannon, but actually ran into the range of the Krupp cannon

Li Ziying is walking slowly all the way, that is, training troops can test the effect of training in actual combat, full of confidence in Li Ziying, with patriotic spiritual belief, Li Ziying soldiers are invincible, will make a country prosperous, spiritual strength is infinite, patriotic spirit inspiration, thousands of people have also been shaped by him into a daredevil, watching the people shirtless, sweating like rain, digging ditches to build fortifications, this slope will be as tough as steel, no enemy wants to seize the glory of Li Ziqi

Four or five thousand meters away, the Hui cavalry knew that it was a safe area, so they were unhurried, the whole army slowed down the speed of the horses, the swords and guns were like a forest, the Hui cavalry galloped, and when they heard the sharp cannon sound, they all subconsciously looked into the air and felt strange, what were the pigtails going to do at such a distance

Full of cheeks and beard, An Jie subconsciously looked at the artillery position in the distance, wanting to open his mouth to boost morale, but his eardrums were deafening, the loud noise had already landed, and a black smoke rose from the ground, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear clearly, the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground, and the powerful shock wave knocked him over, An Jie was hit by shrapnel, and black smoke rose on the Loess Plain, deafening, and roaring one after another
