Chapter 372: Winter is coming

The roadblocks set up by Yang Xiaoshan on the mountain road took the Peruvian army three days to reach the outskirts of the Juan mine.

Yang Xiaoshan did not resist, and dispersed the team to a temporary hiding point to temporarily avoid the edge. And he took several generals to the high ground on the side of the mine to observe the movements of the Peruvian army.

"I didn't look closely last night, but the uniforms of these Peruvian soldiers are really gorgeous, and they are even more fancy than our big girls." Li Shixian couldn't help but say more.

"It's all showmanship, and it's useless." Bao Chao retorted.

Yang Xiaoshan knew that these Peruvian soldiers were dressed in a French style, and their epaulettes, ribbons, and top hats were almost all imitating the dress of French soldiers.

"The color of their red, red, blue and blue uniforms is not conducive to concealment, but the leather boots worn by their officers are quite practical, and we will have the opportunity to get a few more pairs to wear in the future." Yang Xiaoshan looked at his straw sandals, although they were lightweight, and it was easy to weave a pair after they were worn out, but sometimes it hurt a little when he stepped on a sharp stone. However, after so many years of ups and downs, a thick layer of calluses has long been worn out on the bottom of the footboard, and it is not easy to get injured.

"It's still the East King's eyesight, we haven't noticed their leather boots yet." Li Shixian secretly decided to get a pair as if he had discovered a new continent, and the king of the east was right.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that. Everyone pays attention to their firepower, especially their artillery. "Yang Xiaoshan's purpose in observing the Peruvian army this time is to see how strong their firepower is.

"King Dong, will they open fire?" Bao Chao was a little worried.

"Definitely, I had a few brothers shoot at the parapet and scared them, and now look at the time they have pulled the rope and evacuated." Yang Xiaoshan knew that the Western-style army was very rigid, and the charge after firing the cannon was like a computer program, which remained unchanged for many years.

Sure enough, the Peruvian army quickly mobilized the artillery, and the starting gun rang out.

Dozens of artillery pieces were fired at the same time, and Yang Xiaoshan and the others, who were far away, felt as if the mountains were shaking.

"Obediently, they are all flowering shells, and the power is not small." Li Shixian saw that the parapet wall of the mine was torn to shreds like paper paste under the artillery blow.

Everyone couldn't help but admire Yang Xiaoshan's foresight, in fact, many people couldn't figure out Yang Xiaoshan's order not to stick to the mine and transfer first, thinking that Peruvian soldiers were not enough. Now it seems that if you really let everyone stay in the mine, you will really become cannon fodder.

Yang Xiaoshan didn't think so, the power of the artillery was as he expected, but the shelling took longer than he expected. In fact, it was enough to blast open the parapet, but this Colonel Oro insisted on bombing the entire mine to pieces.

As the manager Di Mari who came to mind, he wanted to cry without tears, these are the boss's belongings, and now they are all gone. He finally squeezed to Colonel Oro's side, pulled the colonel's gold-rimmed cuffs and begged: "Colonel, it's almost done, this is our boss's private property." ”

Colonel Oro didn't pay attention to it at all, and flicked his arm disdainfully: "Is your boss's industry important, or is the life of our soldiers important?" ”

Di Mari was thrown off and stumbled, but he was not reconciled, and continued to plead: "Colonel, look, there is no figure in this mine, it's empty, don't shoot!" ”

"You know what? This is so that this place will not become a den of bandits again. Little Oro rebuked, and then he turned his face to the guards and shouted, "What are you doing over there, pull this guy down, beat him with a ten-army stick, this damn guy interferes with my command of the battle." ”

The guards swarmed up and pulled poor Di Marie out.

In fact, after several rounds of shelling, there was no screaming in the mine, and no one came out to fight back, and at this time the people around Colonel Oro had realized that the Chinese were afraid that they had run away, and this was an empty factory. But no one dared to come out and say it, because they all knew that Colonel Oro was provoked by the Chinese, and it would not be finished without venting this fire.

It was only after there was not a single standing building in the mine that Little Oro asked the artillery to stop firing.

Smelling the smell of gunpowder that had not yet dissipated in the mine, Xiao Oro was in a slightly better mood, he raised his hand to summon a orderly, and said loudly: "Bring a letter to my old man, saying that the lair of the Chinese bandits has been destroyed, and now they are fleeing in the mountains like lost dogs." At most, by the end of the year, I will destroy these robbers and go home to spend Christmas with everyone. ”

Little Oro is still full of confidence, and the previous night attack was just a small mistake in his eyes. After all, the difference in firepower between the two sides is too great. As long as the Chinese dare to show their heads, he believes that his cannons will be able to send them to God.

"Division commander, Chinese were found on the hill over there." Yang Xiaoshan and the others observed on the mountain for so long, and finally someone found them and came to report to Xiao Oro.

As soon as Xiao Oro heard the spirit, he immediately pulled out his pistol and ordered: "Give me a chase!" ”

"King Dong, they seem to have discovered us. You see, this group of Peruvian soldiers is coming in our direction. "Bao Chao was keenly aware of the dynamics of the Peruvian army.

"Okay, everyone has seen almost the same today's play. From now on, each of you leads your own team, and does not fight the enemy head-on. We have to hide and hide with them in the mountains, go around in circles, and seize the absolutely favorable moment to engage them and ensure that our losses are minimized, do you all understand? "Yang Xiaoshan hasn't thought of how to destroy this Peruvian army yet, but the best way at the moment is to break it into pieces and fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy in the mountains.

The mountain road is difficult to walk and the mountains are complicated, so Yang Xiaoshan and others easily threw off the Peruvian pursuers and came to the temporary camp that had just been established.

The Taiping Army is now divided into three, Yang Xiaoshan's Chinese army, Bao Chao's front army, and Wang Dabang's rear army, all the color numbers follow Yang Xiaoshan, and the Chinese army is responsible for protection. The three camps are in the shape of a character, and they are horns of each other, and they can support each other very quickly.

Considering that Wang Dabang's command ability was not good, Yang Xiaoshan sent Feng Zicai to help him train and lead troops to command the battle.

The temporary camp is much worse than the treatment of the mine, after all, it is a temporary wooden shed, and the life and sleep are certainly not as comfortable as before. Some people have some emotions, but seeing that Yang Xiaoshan is also treated like this, those who want to complain can't say it.

However, the careful Yang Xiaoshan can still perceive the thoughts of the soldiers, this wooden shed is indeed a little simple, but now the conditions are limited, and it can only be done to this extent. Fortunately, the Taiping army seized a lot of supplies, and in terms of food, Yang Xiaoshan tried to compensate everyone a little more.

However, this Peruvian winter is just around the corner, and while this is not good for both sides, the lack of supplies for the Taiping army is obviously even more disadvantageous.
