After Guo Xing'a drew his saber, only Tepqin and Ai Shentai stopped him, and Pi Runmin and the others were not dissuading, because Guo Xing'a was right. As the god of the Gu'an army, Goxinga is omnipotent, and if he retreats in fear in front of the Russians, there will inevitably be a huge shadow in his heart when the Gu'an army faces the Russians again in the future. Therefore, today's battle must be fought no matter what, and no matter how heavy the sacrifices, it must be won.

"Brother Huaiyuan, immediately arrange for someone to chase Cao Meng's light cavalry regiment, and send a letter to Tan Shaoguang and Bi Yuntao at the same time, so that they can rush to reinforcements!" After all, there are 5,000 troops, and Pi Runmin is a little bottomless in his heart, and the strength is nearly half worse, so this battle is not easy to fight.

"Good! I'll arrange it right away! Zou Degui nodded solemnly, according to the analysis of the combat power of the British and French coalition forces, there must be a hard battle today.

Everyone climbed to the top of the city with a great burden of thought, and even the majestic and high-spirited Guo Xing'a was a little bottomless in his heart. However, when they actually went to the city, they found that the first wave of the Russian army's offensive had ended, and the Russian army obviously had no plans to carry out a second wave of offensive today.

The first wave of the Russian army's offensive was very sudden, and even caught the Gu'an army a little off guard, because the Russian army's style of play was very inconsistent with the routines that the Gu'an army had seen before. The Russian army did not stabilize its position, did not organize its formation, and did not even prepare artillery fire. After they surrounded Aihui City, they rushed up like a swarm of bees with a "Ula" sound, trying to take advantage of the lack of preparation of the Gu'an army to seize the city gate. The preparation of the Gu'an army is really a bit insufficient, most of them are preparing anti-artillery, setting up fire points, and the spare ammunition box has not been opened yet! The Russian army is almost rushing in front of you.

The Anglo-French forces would not fight like this, they would first stabilize their positions to avoid a situation where the army would be defeated and no one would respond after the attack was frustrated. Moreover, they will organize their phalanx, ensure the rhythm of the attack and the neatness of the firepower, and at the same time they will have sufficient artillery preparation to suppress the enemy's counterattack fire. The Qing army and the Taiping army will not fight like this, they will play a few tricks in the real world, and after the feint attack attracts the enemy's firepower, and then finally decide the winner with a surprise attack. If you have to find a unit with a similar fighting style to the Russian army among the former enemies of the Gu'an Army, it is bandits, and only those fierce and disorderly people will fight in this way in this way.

The machine gunners who were laying sandbags for the machine gun position didn't have time to think about so many things, looking at the Russian troops rushing over with their teeth and claws, they threw down the sandbags in their hands and hurriedly rotated the handle of the machine gun. At the same time, he shouted desperately, "Ammunition, open ammunition!" ”

The Gu'an Army's standard Gatling carries eight magazines of contingency ammunition per machine gun, with a total of 960 rounds. These eight magazines are for emergencies, and when the war really begins, it will be used out in two or three minutes. Therefore, the machine gun will be equipped with an ammunition cart like a wheelbarrow, which will be equipped with six ammunition boxes, each with twenty magazines, for a total of 14,400 rounds of ammunition. Such a large amount of ammunition can support a machine gun to fight a small-scale battle, and if you want to start a large-scale battle, you need to replenish ammunition in logistics. This time, because the Russian army came too suddenly, except for the eight magazines that accompanied the gun, the machine gunner did not even open the ammunition box on the car. The three shooters could only shoot while urging the ammunition men to hurry up and open the box.

However, the ammunition boxes that were opened in a hurry were not used, because the Cossacks were destined not to reach the city gates. A year ago, Monk Lingqin had led the Mongolian cavalry to do the same thing as the Cossacks, and that time Monk Gelin had to charge the defense line of front-loading rifles and field artillery, and the result was a miserable defeat for Monk Greenqin. This time, the Cossacks were stronger than the Mongol cavalry in terms of the quality of their soldiers and their ability to fight hand-to-hand, but they attacked the positions of machine guns, breech-loading rifles, and high-explosive field guns, and the result was naturally worse than that of the monks. No matter how fierce the flesh and blood are, they are powerless in the face of machine guns and artillery. The two infantry companies, without suffering any casualties of their own, repelled the charge of a thousand Cossacks, leaving behind more than 600 corpses of the invaders.

The commander of the Russian army, Kazakevich, was also stunned, the Gu'an Army had never seen the Russian army's style of play, and the Russian army had never seen the Gu'an Army's style of play. The Gu'an army thinks that the Russian army is fierce, and the Russian army still thinks that the guns of the Gu'an army are fierce! It was precisely because they were stunned that the Russian army decided to stop and take a look. The reason why Kazakievich didn't run was because he found that the super firepower of the Gu'an army was very concentrated, and not all defenders had such firepower, so he felt that he could find a way to solve it.

It was already noon when Goxinga entered the city, and after chatting for most of the day, he fought for a while, and by the time the Russian offensive was over, night had fallen. Tepuqin increased the amount with his hand, and was glad that he had finally survived the difficulties, but Guo Xing'a didn't do it, and Lao Maozi ran to scare himself for a while with the strength of a group of bandits, and then he thought about it, and there was no door! The reconnaissance battalion changed into rifles and other weapons of fire, with two infantry companies as follow-up troops, and after eating enough, it prepared to launch a night attack on the Russian army.

But the Russian army is really different, everyone else is seizing the time to rest, but these guys drink wine and eat meat, and play around the bonfire. Guo Xing'a, who was looking at the moon, had his neck crooked, and the gang finally stopped, and the hustle and bustle in the camp gradually fell silent. The pocket watch went to two o'clock in the morning, and Changlu personally led the team and launched a night attack on the Russian army.

The scouts approached the Russian camp under the cover of the darkness of the night, and they crouched in the grass looking for an opportunity to try to solve the sentry post and infiltrate the interior of the camp. But the Cossack sentinels were like owls in the night, and these indefatigable fellows kept their eyes on the patrol without the slightest slackness. The scouts couldn't find any chance, and Changlu lost his patience, and he raised his gun and fired the first bullet of the night's battle.

A storm of bullets swept through the Russian camp, and the soldiers on night patrol fell in pools of blood before they even had a chance to counterattack, and the scouts rushed into the camp, and the panicked Russian troops began to flee in all directions. Whether it was Changlu who was in the enemy camp or Guoxing'a who was watching the battle at the head of the city, everyone thought that the overall situation had been decided, but the infantry outflanked from the flank encountered a stubborn counterattack by the Russian army.

The soldiers from Bi Yuntao's infantry regiment inherited the commander's style of living a careful life, and they had to save more money when they came out to fight. Because now the Gu'an army already has a standard artillery, there is no need to grab this cannon, but they still refuse to return empty-handed, so they aimed at the Cossack Donhippo. Although they can't ride horses, it's good to get back to pull the cannon and carry the baggage! As a result, they stabbed the hornet's nest, and the fleeing Russian army didn't even want pants, but they refused to give up their horses. The horse stable, which was originally of little significance, suddenly became the key to the contention between the two armies. Even if the infantry company had the advantage of rapid-fire fast guns and machine guns, the Cossacks who were not afraid of death fell into passivity, and even fought bayonets for a time.

When the infantry company was in danger, another group of horse lovers also killed them. The cavalry knew more about horses than the infantry, and they thought the Don hippos were good, but because they were attacking from the other side, they were given the upper hand by the infantry. But the beloved thing could not be easily abandoned, so after the rout of the Russian army, they also killed the stable.

After the two companies were united, they were still at a disadvantage. The Cossacks could be lifeless, but they must not lose their mounts, and the brave Cossacks, dressed in shorts, raised their sabers, rushed to the stables with the constant roar of bullets. Changlu, who was brave enough to chase after the poor, had to divide a company of scouts to help, but these Russians were too fierce, and the three companies only barely held the defensive line, and they couldn't drive them away at all. There was a lot of shelter in the camp, the lethality of the machine guns was greatly reduced, and the Cossacks were scattered so many stragglers that it was not easy to kill them all.

"Hooray!"

When the rumbling hooves of the heavy cavalry battalion shook the earth, and the roar of "Long live" resounded in all directions, the Dead Eyes finally gave up. Because of some previous experience, the Cossacks always felt that as long as their faith was pure enough and their movements were fast enough, they would be able to dodge bullets. But as cavalrymen, they knew better than anyone the consequences of infantry resistance to cavalry onslaught. So they decisively gave up their war horses, and then ran away without a trace at a speed faster than war horses. The heavy cavalry battalion came out and ran around, but not even a ghost shadow was cut.

The battle on the ground came to an end, but there was still the river fleet of the Russians in the river, and the artillery battalion was greatly tested. The artillerymen did not participate in the night attack, and after the defeat of the Russian army, they went out of the city to arrange artillery positions, preparing to compete with the Tsarist Russian river fleet. But everyone's hearts are a little bottomless, and the foreign devil ship is strong! They have never suffered the loss of foreign devils on land, but they are a little vague about the fleet of foreign devils. But after the war, they were relieved, because the Russian ships were still using smoothbore guns. The big iron pipe shoots round balls, which are naturally not the opponents of their standard artillery, not only can they not hit accurately, but also cannot reach them. The Russian fleet's return fire did not mean anything except that it was louder. The Gu'an Army's artillery is not only accurate, but also powerful. This artillery battle between the fleet and the position lasted for an hour and a half before ending with the defeat of the Russian ships.

The next day, when Goxinga and Tepqin went out of the city, Changlu counted the results of the battle, and killed more than 2,100 enemies, captured more than 400 enemies, captured more than 3,000 horses, and the rest of the guns and smoothbore artillery were not counted, and the artillery sank seven Russian ships and damaged five. No one was killed on the side of the Gu'an Army, but there were more than 100 light and serious wounded in the infantry company and the cavalry infantry company, that is, the Gu'an Army had timely field rescue, otherwise dozens of people would have died. Guo Xing'a has no interest in capturing them, that is, it is good to see these thousands of Don hippos, and as for the more than 400 prisoners, Guo Xing'a is not ready to build any more prisoner of war camps.

"Strip them naked and let them swim back from the river on their own!" Guo Xing'a looked at the four-mile-wide Heilongjiang River and found the best way to accommodate these prisoners of war.

"Lord Wang? ......" Tepchen felt that it was a bit cruel to do so, these cavalrymen were probably not so good at water, and Goxinga let them swim back, almost no different from drowning them directly. And Tepchin fears that doing so will further exacerbate tensions with the Russians.

"Huh! It's a pity that it's not winter, otherwise winter swimming is better! Goxinga smiled and shook his head, not giving Tepchen a chance to persuade him.

Two days after the battle, Cao Meng's light cavalry regiment finally rushed back, but the Russians were gone, and Cao Meng could only search for remnants of the enemy in the surrounding area. As a result, I didn't know if I didn't search, and I was shocked when I searched it, and there were more than 500 Russian troops hiding in the surrounding area of Aihui, and they couldn't escape back to the other side, and even some people hid in the homes of the Qing army's flag soldiers. The remnants of the Russian army are still the old rules, stripped naked and thrown into the river, but the Qing soldiers who hide the Russian army have to establish some new rules.

There are not many cases of Qing soldiers smuggling with the Russian army, but there are often cases of accommodating Russian troops to stay, and there are a few cases found when Tepuqin was in charge of Heilongjiang. When the Russians cross the river to investigate, or simply cross the river to hunt, they must also have a place to live, and they cannot stay in the field to feed the wolves. The homes of Qing soldiers along the river are a good choice, no one will come to search here, and the conditions are relatively better. The Russians lived in the hotel to pay the bills, and there was no time to play scoundrels, so many poor Qing soldiers sold their ancestors for silver, and they all had the experience of staying with Russians. These Qing soldiers were all born under the banner, and only they had such conditions, and the regimental training did not even have a place to live, of course, they could not take in the Russians.

For these people, Tepchin hated them, and the punishment was relatively severe. Normally, if a Qing soldier was found to have allowed the Russians to stay overnight, Epchin would immediately remove him from his banner, smash the iron rice bowl of himself and his descendants, and then put him on the whip and flail to show the public. But Guo Xing'a wants to completely put an end to this situation, and is in a hate for traitors, so the methods are also more spicy.

"Let's rectify the Fa on the spot!" Looking at the three Qing troops who allowed the defeated soldiers of the Russian army to spend the night, Guo Xing'a let out a long sigh, these people in tattered clothes are really too bitter.

"Lord, they are also forced by their livelihood, you see ......" Tepuqin has the heart to ask for a favor, he has just won the battle, and hopes that Guoxing A can open up.

"It's pitiful, and the law is intolerable! As a flag man, he has a foreign ...... Alas! Kill yourselves! Wash away your sins with blood! Your family is small, I will take care of them, they will no longer be poor, no one will laugh at them for your sins today, they can live an upright life in the future, and make their own contribution to the country! Guo Xing'a looked at a few flagmen who were still wearing cotton robes in early summer, and felt a little unbearable.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" The three bannermen slammed their heads on the ground, picked up the bayonets thrown at them by the soldiers, and calmly cut themselves off. They only allowed the Russians for a few dollars, so that their families could have enough to eat, so they were not afraid of death, but even more afraid of being deprived of their status as bannermen and losing the food and salary issued by the imperial court. If that's the case, their families are small, and they won't have a way to live.

"Bring their family back to Jilin! Send their children to school! Guo Xing'a felt a little bitter in his heart, these soldiers were guarding the land by the river, and they must be patriotic in their hearts, but they collaborated with the enemy for a few dollars, which was really unacceptable. Guo Xing'a silently said in his heart that he wanted to make the Northeast rich and let people have a patriotic foundation.
