That Long Wenguang has just taken office, and he is not a defeated general under Zhang Xianzhong, and his consideration is different from that of Yang Sichang and others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoEven if Li Zhi kills all directions as soon as he comes, the princes in the court will not label him as mediocre and incompetent. At this time, he was bent on fighting and making meritorious contributions, wanting to prove that he was different from Yang Sichang and others, who had lost to Zhang Xianzhong in a row.

All he feared was that he had too few troops to fight the thieves. At this time, he met Li Zhi, who led a strong army, and he was simply sleepy when he met a pillow, so he naturally wanted to attach himself to Li Zhi and fight with Zhang Xianzhong.

Li Zhi couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Long Wenguang was also willing to go under him, and suddenly there were 8,000 more soldiers and horses. Li Zhi said: "Since Governor Long is willing to cooperate with our army and horses to fight, it is the best. ”

Long Wenguang knew that Li Zhi's soldiers and horses were strong, and they were not of the same grade as his own 8,000 Sichuan soldiers, and it was estimated that Li Zhibu would capture and behead the first level in a real fight. At that time, how many heads Li Zhi will give to himself depends on Li Zhi's mood. Long Wenguang secretly said that his posture must be lower, and then Li Zhi will give himself more heads.

"Lord Taibao, the lower official is willing to be the second assistant of the Taibao and obey the command of the Taibao."

Li Zhi smiled and understood Long Wenguang's thoughts. However, if you can have more command, it will be easier to beat Zhang Xianzhong, and Li Zhi can't ask for it, and said: "Okay! When our three armies are combined into one, we have 28,000 soldiers and horses. Even if we attack Luzhou City head-on, Zhang Xianzhong is not our opponent! ”

"When the time comes, I will naturally not treat the two of you badly!"

What Cao Bianjiao and Long Wenguang wanted was Li Zhi's last sentence, and the two glanced at each other and were overjoyed.

There is a danger of being defeated by Zhang Xianzhong when fighting alone, and relying on Li Zhi is not only no longer afraid of Zhang Xianzhong, but also has military merits to take, which is a good thing that fell from the sky.

Long Wenguang had already thrown what "Yiwen Yuwu" out of the clouds, stood up with Cao Bianjiao, and arched his hand and said: "Listen to Lord Taibao!" ”

Forty cavalrymen from the fourth platoon of the third company of the fifth battalion of the Xuanfeng Regiment reconnoitred in Xujiaba, outside Luzhou City.

Xujiaba is only fifteen miles away from Luzhou City, which is already the core area controlled by the thieves, and they are not the most elite scouts, so they dare not bring troops to such a hinterland of thieves to investigate.

The platoon commander of this reconnaissance platoon is called Feng Yi, Chongzhen enlisted in the Xuanfeng Regiment in seven years, and he is really a veteran who was killed in the sea of corpses and blood. At this time, he rode on a horse, holding a white wooden board in his hand, and used charcoal to record the terrain on the white wooden board that he had come to reconnoitre, marking rivers, mountains, roads, passes, and villages.

This kind of reconnaissance work has now been standardized by Li Zhi, and the scouts all go out with wooden planks, and when they come back, they draw the information of the reconnaissance on the big map. In this way, the top management of the Tiger Ben Division can quickly obtain all the terrain information in the vicinity, which is conducive to Li Zhi and others to make correct military decisions.

Feng Yi was mapping the terrain, but suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him. A squad leader raised his binoculars and looked at it, and shouted loudly: "Platoon leader, it's the thief's pond horse!" I think there are 200 people, and they are coming for us. ”

Two hundred? Feng Yi's heart was excited, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone load and prepare to fight!" ”

The forty cavalrymen of the Elective Regiment are all veterans and have experienced a lot of major battles. Before the battle came, these veterans did not mess at all, skillfully took out their rifles, began to load them with gunpowder, and loaded them. In just a dozen seconds, the soldiers of the Selective Regiment completed the reloading. They mounted their horses and pointed their rifles at the incoming horse thieves.

Ten minutes later, the billowing smoke and dust rushed in front of Feng Yi. There were about 200 horse thieves of the thieves, and they stopped more than 200 meters away from the reconnaissance platoon of the Elective Regiment, and looked at the soldiers of the Selector Regiment with a surprised expression.

Forty officers and soldiers saw that two hundred ponds of horses were killed and did not run, which was the first surprising.

And the equipment of these officers and soldiers is really too sophisticated, which is the second surprising thing.

The soldiers of the Election Regiment rode tall horses, and those war horses were all war horses captured in previous battles, and the strongest horses were selected for the cavalry of the Election Regiment, all of which were good horses from one out of ten. The GIs wore leather boots on their feet and full-body armor. The lower part of the whole body armor has skirt armor and leg guards, and the upper part has breastplate, shoulder pads, and arm guards. The armor was cold and shining, and at first glance it was made of steel, and ordinary swords could not cut through it at all. The soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment also wore helmets captured from the Qing army on their heads, and the red tassels fluttered on the top of their heads, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

Not only that, but these cavalrymen also held firearms one by one, and at this time, they aimed them at the pond horses on this side one by one.

Although there were only forty people, these forty officers and cavalry did not mess up at all when they encountered two hundred thieves and horses. These cavalrymen were armed with firearms, and their bodies exuded a murderous aura that could only be found after murder.

The leader of Tangma, a middle-aged man with a bearded face, rode around in place, looking at the small group of elite officers and soldiers in front, hesitating to go up and fight.

His subordinates are also battle-hardened horses. These horses were all wearing captured official and military cotton armor, and they were all cotton armor inlaid with iron plates, which could be regarded as well-equipped. Against ordinary officers and soldiers, one of these pond horses can fight two. But in the face of the officer army in front, the two hundred Tangma were a little out of order.

The murderous aura emanating from this small group of officers and soldiers made the middle-aged man feel a little chill down his spine.

After a long time, this middle-aged man gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and shouted loudly: "Donkey Maoqiu, I don't believe in this evil!" There are two hundred of us! He turned to the pond horses behind him and shouted, "Rush up!" Kill this army! lest they come to Xujiaba to spy on our military intelligence! ”

The horses sang loudly, drew their sabers one by one, and called out on their horses. They instigated their horses and raised their swords to kill the officers and soldiers more than 200 meters away.

The horses were not too fast, and the distance was slowly getting closer: two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred and twenty meters, two hundred meters, and the horses gradually entered the range of the soldiers of the Election Regiment. The soldiers aimed at the shouting horses and opened fire.

In the crackling of gunfire, forty rifles opened fire one after the other, spewing tongues of fire and smoke from the muzzles, and at once the surrounding area of the reconnaissance platoon was filled with smoke. Forty high-speed spinning conical bullets shot out of the barrel and shot at the two hundred thieves in front of them.

In an instant, there were more than 20 pond horses blooming with blood.

The iron-encrusted cotton armor that the thieves were proud of was as easy to pierce as paper in front of Mini's bullet. The lead bullet underwent an irregular deformation after breaking through the iron armor, and the angle of rotation was greater, and the wound on the thief's body was much larger than the caliber of the bullet. The thief's skin and muscles were pierced by bullets, a hole appeared in his body, and he fell off his horse screaming, and the blood splattered on the face of the thieves around him.
