The enemy army originally came from the east, and most people would break through to the west, but Lin Qirong speculated that the enemy would definitely gather heavy troops in the west, and it would be better to break through from the east.

At present, among the 1,800 soldiers under his command, there are only about 400 officers of the 11th Infantry Division of the Capture Army, 700 Japanese soldiers, 400 Indian tribal warriors and 300 Irish. Lin Qirong asked Saigo Shenglong to lead the Japanese soldiers, and he personally led the rest of the 1,100 mixed troops of the three tribes, with 100 Indians and 40 soldiers of the captive army as reconnaissance and reconnaissance posts, and marched eastward.

Because of the reasons of the Indian soldiers, I found a few guides in the local area, so as not to go the wrong way in this vast temperate primeval jungle, and the number of soldiers was not large, and the wounded and seriously ill and wounded also passed away one after another in the cold in the early stage. Along the way, when encountering sporadic nomadic hunters or cowboys migrating westward, Lin Qirong ordered all their horses to be snatched away. However, the area is sparsely populated, and it is very difficult to collect horses.

Two days later, the troops were spotted by a group of enemy sentinels, who came forward to engage them, killing several of them, but more than a dozen of them escaped. Lin Qirong, who learned the news, knew that the enemy's cavalry was coming soon, so he asked the Indians to set traps in the jungle, and he and Saigo Shenglong organized soldiers to build simple wooden fences and other fortifications. Moreover, Lin Qirong made a desperate bet, most of the gunpowder among the generals were concentrated, and more than ten powder kegs were buried between the trap and the wooden fence, so that several heroic Japanese daredevils were ambushed there and ready to ignite, hoping to slow down the enemy's rhythm when the enemy attacked, at least to disturb the enemy's war horses.

For now, he could only hope that the enemy's cavalry ranks were small in number and scattered, in fact, most of them, otherwise, their whereabouts would not be so easy to spot. And what Lin Qirong hopes is to concentrate all the firepower and ammunition, defeat this part of the enemy army, capture some war horses, and gather hundreds, even if it is two people and one horse, it is better to evacuate the war zone, otherwise, when the enemy's main force besieges it, there is really only a dead end.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the enemy army to approach, with more than 3,000 cavalry. More than 1,000 of them broke into the woods where the Indians had set traps, and after losing more than a dozen men, they launched an attack on the captives inside the wooden fence, while the remaining three directions, with hundreds of cavalry, began to charge towards the fence.

Because it was in the woods, Lin Qirong waited for the enemy to approach within 60 meters of the fence before giving the order to open fire. In the Hexi Army, because of the early dispatch of troops, all the guns were not Mauser rifles, but early firing smoothbore rifles, Dresser or later developed Krupp ramming pistols and Colt revolver-fire pistols, etc., and the firing range did not have much advantage over the enemy.

The fierce fire slowed down the charge speed of the main force of the enemy attacking head-on, and at this time, the daredevils ignited the explosives, some of the enemy troops may have found something abnormal, but the dense fire of the Hexi army in the wooden fence attracted most of the enemy troops, two minutes later, several huge explosions suddenly exploded, dozens of cavalry were injured, the rest of the horses were frightened, and dozens of enemy soldiers fell off their horses, and hundreds of enemy cavalry could not control the horses, so that the frightened horses directly carried them away, Run deep into the woods next to you.

Lin Qirong was overjoyed by this situation. His guess was right, this group of cavalry of the American Federation, because it was a newly formed unit, the war horses were newly recruited, they had not been trained for a long time, and they had not been baptized by artillery fire, and they were blown up by dense explosives at close range, and they were easily frightened, and these cavalry had not undergone long-term training, and they were lacking in riding skills and adaptability, so he caught the flaw.

Lin Qirong hurriedly ordered to leave 300 soldiers to guard the wooden fence to resist the enemy attack in the remaining three directions, while he and Saigo Shenglong led the remaining 1,500 people, and killed the 100 enemy cavalry in front with one round of shooting, so they opened the fence and charged the frontal enemy cavalry that had been loose and collapsed.

There were only four or five hundred cavalry left, and their morale had declined, and they were soon shot down by the Hexi army of more than 200 people. The remaining 100 or so enemy cavalry hurriedly fled to the side, leaving only five or six hundred horses intact or wounded.

Lin Qirong didn't have time to carefully collect the war horses, and ordered several soldiers of the capture army to lead dozens of Indians to return to the horses, and he and Saigo Shenglong led the more than 1,400 people to turn to the side and engage in a fierce exchange of fire with another group of enemy cavalry who were about to break through the fence and rush in.

The dense front of the Hexi army, the powerful firepower, the enemy cavalry did not even rush to the front of the first row of soldiers, and fell to the ground one after another, and the rest of the enemy cavalry saw that the situation was not good, turned the pier and detoured to escape, but because the distance was too close, it was shot down a lot by the Hexi army on the flank. The morale of the enemy troops under the overturned horses was low, and even the attacks on the other flanks began to be blocked.

At this time, Lin Qirong ordered the whole line to attack. Charge the cavalry with infantry.

In addition, there were more than 1,000 cavalry on both sides, who reacted quickly, stopped the attack and hurriedly retreated, but because of the difficulty of changing formations, the fastest Japanese soldiers who were fiercely charged shot down more than 100 cavalry. However, the Japanese soldiers who rushed too far forward were also approached by the cavalry who were outflanked because they broke away from the main force of the Hexi Army, and after being cut down and killed dozens of people, fortunately, Xixiang Shenglong led the Hexi soldiers to support and was able to escape.

The enemy saw that his troops were smaller than those of the Hexi army and that he could not do anything, so he decisively turned his horse and left.

Seeing that the fighter plane had been lost, Lin Qirong ordered the army to be collected and no longer pursued the cavalry. After all, it is difficult to catch up with the cavalry with infantry, not to mention, and it is easy to be counterattacked by the enemy because of the distance and carelessness. At this time, the war horses on the battlefield were also collected, a total of more than 600 intact, there were more than 400 slightly injured, and the rest were seriously injured about 300 horses, Lin Qirong ordered all of them to be slaughtered as military food, let some war horses be camelped, and stripped off a lot of cotton clothes and ammunition from the corpses left by the enemy, so that the supply was worry-free.

In this battle, nearly 1,000 enemy soldiers were killed, and more than 200 officers and men of the Hexi Army were killed and more than 300 were wounded, resulting in considerable losses.

Because they were worried that the enemy would attract a large army to besiege them, the Hexi Army did not stay any longer, hastily buried the soldiers killed in the battle, and left directly to the north-east. With nearly 1,000 captured horses, plus nearly 300 or so horses originally in the Hexi Army, more than 1,300 horses, almost one horse per person, only more than 300 wounded people needed to be supported, a total of one horse, the speed of the march was significantly accelerated, plus the northeast direction, the land was vast and sparsely populated and no one stopped it, and finally broke out of the encirclement line of the American Union army.
