When they arrived at the mouth of Qinglong Gorge, the team was automatically divided into several groups according to the plan, some people stepped forward to arrange tripping horses, and some people hurried to dig trenches and pile low walls. The trench was dug with an engineer shovel that Fan Yubin had just developed. The sapper shovel is made of fine stainless steel, which is extremely sharp, and it is extremely fast to dig trenches in the sandy soil of the steppe. There are also some people who are loaded with guns and ammunition, staring at the mouth of Qinglong Gorge with blazing eyes, and they are all on guard. Everything went in an orderly and orderly manner. Fan Yubin saw it and was very satisfied.

The tripwires that these soldiers laid were not ropes, but steel wires. The wire is also divided into two layers, the upper and lower layers, which not only prevent it from breaking, but also expand the defensive range. The stake is not made of wood, but an iron rod with a base, which is buried deep in the earth, and no matter how strong the pull is, it will not move at all. There are four tripping ropes, crisscrossed by each other. And leave a way for the charge that only you know.

The stumbling rope array spreads in an arc to both sides, connecting with the slopes on the left and right. Behind the stumbling rope array was a trench three meters wide and three meters deep, in which sharp steel drills were buried. Behind the trench is a low wall about one and a half meters high. The low wall was about one hundred and twenty paces from the tripwire, which was within the best range of the flintlock musket.

This time, it was all the forces in Fan Yubin's hands that followed Fan Yubin out to suppress the bandits: there were more than 640 people in total, including 480 recruits and more than 160 veterans.

Qinglong Gorge is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are steep, the birds are sad, and there is only one exit to the grassland. It can be said that one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open. However, it is also a Jedi, as long as it surrounds the mouth of Qinglong Gorge, the people inside will be unable to escape.

According to the topography of Qinglong Gorge, Fan Yubin arranged it like this: Fan Gui and Zhang Kai led 300 people to be responsible for the front, and he and Ouyang Xiong each led 100 people to be responsible for the left and right slopes, and Yan Wushuang led the remaining 140 elite cavalry to lead the horse bandits to escape from the mouth of Qinglong Gorge and try to escape into the grassland, waiting for an opportunity to penetrate the mouth of Qinglong Gorge and block the retreat of the horse bandits.

However, in the time of a stick of incense, all the arrangements and personnel are in place. At this time, Yan Wushuang and Shi Wuving's confessions of the prisoners they had captured were also asked.

According to the prisoners' confessions, there were nearly 400 horse bandits in Qinglong Gorge, and all the big and small leaders of the horse bandits were there. The secret whistle of the horse bandits usually uses whistles and code words to communicate, and when they find a crisis situation, they use fireworks to notify the horse bandits in the canyon, and the number of fireworks signals represents the degree of crisis, at most three fireworks and firecrackers.

After listening to Yan Wushuang's report, Fan Yubin nodded lightly. His heart was also full of excitement. The time has finally come to annihilate and kill the Broken Sky Horse Bandits in one fell swoop.

The distant sky is covered with a touch of red glow, and the endless prairie is silent.

Suddenly, three fireworks rose above the mouth of Qinglong Gorge, "Bang, bang, bang!" "Fireworks exploded in the air continuously, making a deafening sound that resounded through the sky. With the explosion of the fireworks warning signal, the people in the Qinglong Gorge Gorge shouted and neighed, and there was chaos.

A moment later, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded in the Qinglong Gorge, and the sound of hooves shook the sky. It was as if countless sledgehammers were hitting the ground, and the ground was trembling slightly. The birds in the distant mountains and forests were frightened, and they squeaked, flapped their wings, and flew into the sky.

The rumbling hooves of horses grew closer and louder, and a stream of horse bandits poured out of the canyon like a tidal wave. Although there were less than 400 horse bandits, almost every one of them was a two-horse, and some even had three horses. These horse bandits are all old bandits, although they are not panicked, although they are not in a hurry, when they rush out of the gorge, they actually put on a charge formation with the word "gong".

The horse bandits rode on horses, wielding all kinds of blades, some spears, some great axes, and some broadswords, and they emitted a cold and cold light. Some of the bandits were completely naked, and they roared, cursed, and howled like beasts.

Horses' hooves rumble, sonic booms in the field; The sound of hooves shook the ground and the mountains. The horse bandits of less than 400 people lined up in formation, and the team was like thousands of horses, in the smoke and dust in the sky, murderous and unstoppable.

Seeing the hideous horse bandits rushing like a whirlwind, the soldiers under Fan Yubin all changed color. The recruits, in particular, were pale, their breathing was thick, their hearts were pounding like drums, and their teeth were rattling. Fortunately, they have all gone through more than two months of extremely rigorous training. Similar simulated exercises were conducted before the war, and there were no cases of running away or firing muskets in ambushes on top of hills or behind low walls.

Suddenly, dozens of war horses that rushed to the front like a lightning gallop roared sadly, and the horses lost their front hooves and fell heavily to the ground. The huge inertia of the forward rush caused these horses to roll on the ground like rolling gourds, and the horse bandits on the horses were also thrown out far away or crushed under the horses, and their bones were broken and tendons broken. The dozens of horses that followed behind had no time to dodge, and they also tripped and fell to the ground one after another.

For a moment, the horse's hooves that had been cut off by the tripping rope flew in the air, and the blood mist they brought up flew in the air, and the smell of blood quickly spread in the air. The mournful cries of horses and the wails of wounded horse bandits resounded through the grassland. The people in the horse bandit formation turned on their backs, and there was a great chaos.

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and with the whistle, the gunfire exploded like a popping bean. This time, almost all the weapons used by Fan Yubin's subordinates were flintlock smoothbore guns, some of them were made by Fan's iron workshop, and some were customized by Jin merchants through connections (these Jin merchants, they were originally smuggling weapons, hundreds of muskets, for them, it was just a matter of hand-to-hand capture. Some of them were allocated by Xuanfu Town, and the quality was all of high quality, and there was no explosion of the breech.

These flintlock smoothbore guns have been restructured, not only using double-linked springs, but also using new gunpowder, which has a high firing rate and great power. Among them, there are more than 30 new flintlock rifled guns just produced in the Fan family's ironwork workshop. These new flintlock rifled guns, using new gunpowder and bullets, hit far and accurately. They were all equipped by Fan Yubin on the slopes of the hills on both sides, and were equipped with soldiers with good marksmanship, condescendingly, specializing in fighting the leaders of the horse bandits and the brave and fierce horse bandits.

With a burst of gunfire, the charging horse bandits were stopped and hit hard, and they fell in pieces like wheat harvesting, but in an instant, the boss was vacant in the horse bandit formation.

The wounded horses could not bear the severe pain of being shot, and they screamed and neighed like mad tigers, jumping and rushing around.
