"Lea, ——, behind"

In the heavy rain, a team of Hungarian cavalry suddenly rushed down from the height of the edge of the forest, and the mercenary team on the march was scattered, after firing a few shots in a panic, Li Ya was about to gather the team, ready to fight the cavalry, but a Hungarian cavalry brandished a saber, jumped up from the bottom of the hill behind him, the shining saber, drenched in rain, flashing cold light, slashed head-on, and Li Ya on the side used all his strength to wave the 1705 type Chinese rifle with a bayonet in his hand to meet the enemy.

Wrap up, twist your waist, raise your gun, "click," a sound, the saber cut off the butt of the rifle, the sharp blade crossed his nose, Li Ya, collapsed and gathered his abdomen, abandoned the gun, bent over the side, stride, shoulder-topped, from the side of the cavalry's war horse, escaped from the cavalry's attack range, rolled, rained, hair flung over the side of his face, raised the gun with both hands, and pulled out the short fire between the shots.

Pulling the trigger, there was no expected flash of fire, and the enemy fell to the ground, but made a snapping sound, dumb fire, threw away the gun, took out the dagger in his arms, crossed the frame, got up, and waved back, a war horse stepped on the sunken muddy puddle, the head was just raised, the saber was still behind him, the other hand grabbed the reins of the war horse, and the Hungarian cavalry, who struggled to drive the war horse to jump up, slammed it.

The blood came out of his neck, half of his mouth was cut open, twisted in pain, the saber fell in his hand, conditioned, his hands were released, covering his neck, the war horse continued to move forward by inertia and his own understanding, crashing into Li Ya, Li Ya fell to the ground sideways, between moments, half turned over, dodged the trampling of the front hooves, shrunk, slipped into the muddy puddle, and his eyes flashed the phantom of the fall of the saber.

Risking to reach out, the saber is in hand, let go, grasp again, retract the arm, the saber is held in the hand, the handle of the knife, the long body rises, the war horse has rushed down the hill, another enemy war horse carrying the cavalry up, swinging the knife at him, condescendingly, raising the saber, waving the dagger, one long and one short, with proper coordination, the war horse saw the cold light of the dagger, the pupils contracted, and the uncontrolled sideways slashed.

"Bell ——," a metallic sound, the saber shook, sinking down half a meter, with his body also bent down, the dagger slashed across the neck of the side of the war horse, bringing a huge sense of blocking, the body staggered, shook a few times in place, slowly stabilized the body, the hand holding the saber cracked, after all, the enemy is condescending, with the weight of the body and the impact of the war horse, if it were not for the war horse climbing, the impact slowed down, he was likely to be either split in half, or knocked over and trampled by the war horse, At this moment, the cavalryman was two meters below the hill, pressed by his horse, and was only five or six meters away from him, and the other two Hungarian cavalrymen who attacked him were killed and wounded.

The wounded horseman turned his horse's head back, covered one side of his chest and abdomen, glanced at him, rode his horse to the other side, but was shot off his horse by a hiding mercenary, and the horse galloped away.

Other places are still fighting, this group of cavalry has more than 300 people, compared to the mercenary strength at this time, 280 people, more, it is a sudden attack, the mercenary strength suffered huge losses, in an instant, 30 people were cut down, 20 people fled without a trace, and 50 people were injured or fell in the course of the battle, at this moment, according to Li Ya's long-term in the army, with the habit of cultivating over the years, their strength is less than 180 people, and this time they lost nearly 100 people.

Because he defeated the enemy's three cavalry, and this is the high ground, and he is the temporary leader of this mercenary, so the surrounding guards are still good, and with the protection of twenty cavalry, it is impossible for the enemy to attack him for a while, so after a series of violent movements, Li Ya, who escaped by chance, was weak, his muscles trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his face, holding a saber in one hand and a dagger in the other, half-kneeling on the high ground and looking around.

Twenty cavalrymen were all taken from the enemy's war horses, but the riders were all elite, and they also had the ability, and when they saw the enemy besieging them, they immediately dispersed, and a small team of three to five people led most of the enemy's cavalry away, and the strength of the enemy's besieging mercenary infantry was now no more than eighty people, and the nearest lancers were also two hundred meters away and the mercenary cavalry, about thirty people, and they were attracted by a small group of eight cavalry.

"Chief, gun," a short mercenary ran over with three Type 1705 Huaxia rifles, with a few short muskets hanging from his waist, and a cloth bag on his chest.

"You are?" This is a Han mercenary.

"My name is Wu Kejing, like you, I am an opener in Dongberia, Marshal Xuanyuan Longfei, I was a recruit in the security team for three months, and then I was incorporated by the garrison and served as a soldier for a year, but then because of immigration, my mother took me to Eastern Siberia, a few years ago my mother died of illness, I had no one to take care of, and I had no one to rely on, so I went to steal something, and the local torture room arrested me, and then threw me into the mercenary team this time, expelled from the Chinese Empire."

Li Ya did not want to evaluate the empire's immigration policy, nor did he want to evaluate the empire's policy of eliminating foreign races, in the big picture, it was the best way to keep the Han and Chinese people pure and not to be troubled by the enemy, the senior army in the imperial army, the middle-level general of the Guard, he knew that this was harmful to the people at the bottom, but there was no way, many middle-level officials and some declining civilian families were also attacked by these two policies, and became poor and victims.

But as a victim of the same persecution, what he can do at this time is to lead these people to find a way to reproduction, a way to survive, he doesn't want to die here, he took a Type 1705 Huaxia rifle in Wu Kejing's hand, pulled the bolt, listened to it, pulled the trigger, and the crisp voice indicated that there was no problem with this gun, the owner of the gun was dead, otherwise Wu Kejing would not have gotten it, and these guns were also the best guns they had received from their Russian employers before, and they were also one of the eleven guns they started with, It was all sent to everyone after his inspection, and there was no problem.

He quickly pressed five bullets into it, then raised his gun and opened fire on the enemy cavalry who were rushing towards them, one of whom was brandishing a saber and attacking a dozen mercenaries who were desperately trying to drop their guns and flee for their lives, and their morale was crushed.

The gun rang out, the cavalry fell, the war horse ran to the distance from the side, he pulled the bolt, continued to shoot, after the test of war, after many ups and downs, after two military school studies, the only thing he did not fall is his own killing skills, good marksmanship.

"Bang Bang," he ran out of bullets in the gun in a row, killed two more enemy cavalrymen, and rescued several mercenaries, who were not far from him, and when they saw him shoot and save them, they immediately ran over, without saying anything, they were also officers, and immediately consciously escorted them under the hills, pulled the bolt, loaded their ammunition, and fired.

As Li Ya continued to fire and the gunshots continued, Wu Kejing next to him kept pressing the three rifles into bullets in a row, loading them, and handed them to him.
