"Wu, I can't imagine that you don't trust me so much, and you can actually say that if I sell my weapons to someone else, I am so disappointed!"

"Why don't you think about how I could possibly sell the weapon you ordered to someone else, with the friendship between us? Also, what if I sold my weapons to your teacher on the road and traveled thousands of miles here? ”

The outspoken Brown has been complaining and counting down, and Wu Chaoyue is casually thanking while happily fiddling with the world's first Smith revolver M1 that fires metal cartridges - the unbelievable historical fact is that this pistol is sold for much lower than the Colt revolver that fires paper-shelled bullets, and the price in the United States is only $12 a piece and comes with 100 rounds of ammunition.

When he finally got the metal cartridge case pistol, Wu Chaoyue did not forget about the copycat incident, and proposed to Brown that he wanted to buy the production equipment of the Smith pistol and the metal stamping machine for the production of cartridge cases, and he also expressed his willingness to pay patent fees very well. Brown agreed, "No problem, I will write to Smith as soon as possible to ask for the price for you, this pistol they produced has not been able to get orders from our American army, and they are looking for sales all over the world, and they will definitely do their best to meet the requirements of your big customer." ”

Wu Chaoyue, who had a sparse history, didn't know that the U.S. military really didn't pay attention to metal cartridges at first, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Such a good pistol, your U.S. army doesn't like it?" ”

"The bullet is too heavy and inconvenient to carry." Brown casually explained: "The biggest advantage of this pistol is only waterproof, but the place where we in the United States are fighting more now is the western and Mexican borders, where there is drought and little rain, so there is no need to pay special attention to waterproofing." That's why the Smith Company approached me and wanted me, the most brilliant arms salesman of all time, to help them sell it. ”

"Dear Brown, you American military don't like me, please be sure to tell Smith for me, if they develop any more guns that use metal cartridge casings, please contact me immediately, I will definitely buy a large number of them. Of course, I'll pay you the same commission. ”

"Wu, you are really a Westerner with yellow skin and black eyes, and you even know the principle that our Western business belongs to business, thank you for your support of my business. But Wu, your taste is really strange, why do you like guns and weapons that are not popular in Europe and the United States? ”

When Wu Chaoyue and his old friend Brown had a cordial conversation, the 3,000 Smith pistols and metal bullets brought by Brown had also been urgently distributed to the Wu soldiers, of which the cavalry battalion was two per person, the two veteran battalions were one per person, the two recruit battalions and the sailors were one hundred and fifty per battalion, in addition, Wu Chaoyue sent another thirty to Duolonga, and Wu Chaoyue's newly hired military instructor Wall was urgently training Wu soldiers to use this new type of pistol.

At noon, the raging rain once stopped, but in the evening, when the sky was about to get dark, God was like an evil spirit, and it was pouring rain again, Wu Chaoyue was already completely indifferent, the only thing he was worried about was that the Lishui surged and washed away the bridge, and there was no way to cross the river to fight with the Twist Army. And the monk prince who was far away in Tang County saw that it was raining heavily in the sky when he was having dinner, and he ate an extra bowl of rice under joy, and said proudly: "Come on, the bigger it rains, the better!" ”

Under the cover of night and rain, the main force of more than 1,000 infantry and more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Twist Army stepped on the bridge to cross the Lishui, and gathered into an army on the west bank of the Lishui in the north-south direction, and marched to the place where the Wu army camp was located overnight in the wind and rain.

Gong Deshu, nicknamed Gong Blind, has a miraculous ability, because he is afraid of light during the day, his eyes are basically squinting as if he is blind, but at night or in the dark, no matter how weak the light is, Gong Deshu can see clearly, so every time he attacks and fights at night, Gong Deshu has to walk in the front of the whole army and personally open the way for the army, and this time is no exception. As a result, relying on Gong Deshu's night vision function, the Twist Army not only successfully touched the vicinity of the Wu Army's camp, but also discovered the Wu Army patrol team that was patrolling outside the camp in advance.

In the rainy night, the enemy's whereabouts and position could be discovered in advance, and of course the Twist Army took advantage of the sky, and twenty elite infantry experts of the Twist Army sneaked forward, and suddenly broke out, and immediately cut down the Wu Army patrol composed of five soldiers -- this was really not the incompetence of the Wu soldiers, but lost in front of Gong Deshu's night vision ability. However, just when Gong Deshu, who clearly saw this situation, smiled, a Wu soldier who fell to the ground and was not dead, suddenly raised his hand and shot a soldier, hitting a Twist soldier, and also let out a crisp gunshot.

"Why did the gun go off?" The subordinates were shocked, and hurriedly asked Gong Deshu: "General Chief, didn't you say that when it rains, Officer Wu Gou's gun can't go off?" How can it still start? ”

"As long as it is well protected, it can still be fired with one or two shots when it is taken out, but it will not work after a long time."

Gong Deshu, who had carefully interrogated the Wu army prisoners, explained casually while nervously watching the movements of the Wu army in the distance, but the gunfire really alarmed the Wu soldiers standing guard in the camp, and several Wu soldiers who heard the gunshots all lay down next to the fence and looked out, although they did not immediately sound the gong to call the police, but they also strengthened their vigilance.

The Wu army has a certain degree of vigilance, and may send troops to reconnoiter at any time, and it is obviously too late to line up the formation and then launch an attack, Gong Deshu did not think much about it, and immediately ordered the infantry to step forward, and the soldiers attacked the gate of the Wu army camp and the fences on both sides in three ways, and the cavalry quickly lined up and divided into two teams, and immediately rushed into the Wu army camp to kill people and set fire to the camp when the infantry broke through the camp gate.

The sound of the large group of infantry charging, of course, quickly alarmed the Wu army sentries who had raised their vigilance, and while desperately ringing the gong, the Wu army sentries who had received strict training also immediately threw several picric acid grenade shells outside the camp, making a loud noise to continue the warning, and at the same time, they also took advantage of the characteristics of the picric acid flame that could not be extinguished, and used the flame to illuminate the enemy's situation.

Hearing the sound of the alarm, the Wu army camp, which was still silent just now, suddenly made an uproar, and the soldiers who had fallen asleep got up one after another to get dressed and draped, and the Wu army reserve team in charge of the night duty also immediately strode out of the tent to assemble, and then quickly put into the fence and the camp gate defense line, raised the Smith revolver that had just been received and prepared to meet it.

admired and praised Wu Jun's night response speed, but Gong Deshu was not too worried and eager, because the rain in the sky was still falling, Wu Jun's rifles and revolvers were destined to be unable to exert their power, and the elite infantry of the Twist Army did not suffer in close combat. So even if he saw the Wu soldiers shoot down the soldiers of the self-army who stormed the camp gate, Gong Deshu was still confident, and proudly showed off a sentence, "See when you can be arrogant?!" ”

The pistol of the Wu Army, which should have been wet by the rain for a long time, has been roaring, killing and wounding the soldiers who rushed to within 30 meters in front of the camp gate one after another, and at the same time constantly throwing grenades into the dense places of the Twist soldiers, blowing up the Twist soldiers to the point of crying wolf and flesh flying, and creating more flames so that the Wu soldiers can shoot accurately, killing and wounding the Twist soldiers more efficiently.

The twisted soldiers who hit the fences on both sides were even more miserable, Wu Chaoyue was again heavy attack and light defense, and when the camp was established, the soldiers also dug a trench outside the fence defense line, and built a layer of horse-repellent antlers to protect the fence, and the twisted soldiers could not quickly pounce in front of the fence to fight hand-to-hand combat with the Wu army, it was purely a live target of the Wu army's new pistol, and was constantly knocked down by the Wu soldiers like a roll call, and the Wu soldiers could also practice headshots while shouting in the fierce battle, "Come on!" Come on! Come as much as you want to die! ”

Hearing the continuous gunfire of Wu Jun, the big and small flags around Gong Deshu all opened their mouths and looked at each other, all of them didn't understand how they could shoot like this in such a heavy rain? Gong Deshu, who has night vision and can clearly see the situation on the battlefield, is even more dumbfounded, and he can't understand why this situation occurs when he breaks his head? In the case of heavy rain, the soldiers of the Wu army fighting in the open air were still able to shoot continuously?

At this time, a battalion of Wu soldiers had already strode to the Yingmen battlefield to help the battle under the command of Wu Chaoyue, who got up in a hurry. And Gong Deshu was also very decisive, and when he found that the situation was wrong, he immediately made up his mind and ordered: "Withdraw the troops and return to the camp!" The infantry went first, and the cavalry came behind. ”

With the help of the light emitted by the bitter acid flame, the soldiers of the Wu army quickly discovered the situation of the comprehensive retreat of the Twist army, and immediately reported the news to Wu Chaoyue, Wu Chaoyue was extremely hesitant, knowing that the opportunity was rare, if he was lucky and acted quickly, it was very likely that he would use the Lishui to block the way to annihilate the enemy, but he was afraid that this was the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, and it would be dangerous to send troops to pursue, and it would be difficult to make a decision, and he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

Duolong'a, who came in a hurry, interrupted Wu Chaoyue's thoughts, "Lord Futai, the enemy has retreated, the enemy army is on the east bank of Lishui, if you want to return to the camp, you must pass through the Lishui pontoon bridge, the last general please order to lead the headquarters of the people and horses to intersperse in a roundabout way, to destroy the enemy pontoon bridge, cut off the enemy's way back to gather and annihilate it!" ”

"It's raining so heavily, and it's at night, what if there's an ambush?" Wu Chaoyue asked Dolonga.

"Then the general will retreat immediately." Dolonga replied confidently: "The soldiers and horses of the last general's army are all cavalry, and they are mobile and flexible, and if the situation is not right, they can retreat immediately. ”

Seeing that Duolonga was so confident, and knowing that fighters were very rare-since he became famous, Wu Chaoyue really had never encountered a good thing that the enemy took the initiative to cross the river to attack. Gritting his teeth, Wu Chaoyue, who had always been cautious in the use of troops, decided to take a risk, agreed to Dolonga's request to attack at night, and gave some to Dolonga's army for battle. Then Wu Chaoyue immediately organized two battalions of Wu army veterans and Wu army cavalry battalions to attack, and personally led them to pursue the enemy.

Let's take a look at Duolonga's side first, since the target of the attack was the pontoon bridge temporarily built by the Twist Army, the experienced Duolonga of course did not go out of the camp through the main gate, and chose to take 800 cavalry out of the camp from the north gate of the Wu army camp, and detoured to the north to kill the upper reaches of Lishui. Although the Twist Army also discovered the movement of the Duolong Army, they no longer dared to divide their troops to intercept and meet the battle, and they just wanted to gallop to fight for the opportunity to cross the river and escape.

The muddy ground caused great trouble for both the Duolonga army and the Twist army, and the horses and hooves of the cavalry of both armies continued to sink into the rain-soaked fields as they galloped, and their speed was greatly reduced. On the contrary, the infantry of the Twist Army was more adapted to this environment, and was able to maintain a speed that was basically the same as that of the cavalry, but it did not drag Gong Deshu back, giving Gong Deshu and Duolong a chance to compete for speed.

The speed is basically equal to this point or pit the elite of the twist army, although there is a first-mover advantage and a straight line, the main force of the twist army rushed to the pontoon ferry, but the main force of the twist army has just begun to cross the river, Duolonga has already taken the Qing cavalry to kill the near, Gong Deshu was forced to be helpless, can only order to protect the pontoon bridge He Ziqiu led the army to meet the attack, a pure cold weapon white-knuckle battle that has been very rare in this era, also unfolded in the rainy night.

Swords and guns collide, war horses neigh, sergeants roar, wind and rain, Duolonga army and twist army infantry fight in the dark, flesh and blood flying, in this fierce battle moment, Duolonga people high horses and strong arm strength advantage can also be fully displayed, wielding the saber as if the tiger down the mountain, condescending to hack and cut down a number of twisted soldiers, greatly inspired the morale of the Qing cavalry, but also completely shocked the enemy's fear, at the same time the Qing cavalry also continued to throw the bitter acid grenade wrapped in oil paper to the dense place of the twist soldiers, a large number of killed and injured the enemy, which also seriously damaged the infantry formation of the Twist Army.

Unable to maintain a dense formation, the infantry in front of the cavalry, of course, only the part of the slaughter, in less than five minutes, the cavalry of the Duolonga division has broken through the interception of the Twist army infantry, roared and rushed to the vicinity of the Twist army ferry, and without saying a word, first threw out a large number of grenades, a large number of bombs killed the Twist army soldiers who were hurrying across the river, and successfully injured a Twist army pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge tilted, and countless Twist army soldiers screamed and fell into the boiling river.

The situation has reached this point, and Gong Deshu, who has not had time to cross the river, has no choice but to muster up the courage to lead the cavalry to meet the battle, and strive to kill and repel the Duolonga army with all his strength before crossing the river. Duolonga was overjoyed when he saw it, regardless of the enemy's outnumberedness, let alone thinking about what to preserve his strength, he just plunged into the crowd of enemies with the cavalry, and entangled the main force of the cavalry of the Twist Army at any cost, buying time for Wu Chaoyue's rear army.

It was also a coincidence that when Wu Chaoyue personally led the main force of the Wu army to the scene to reinforce the scene, although the rain in the sky was still falling, the sky was already a little bright, at least he could distinguish between the enemy and me. Seeing that the main cavalry force of the Twist Army was still on the west bank, Wu Chaoyue was overjoyed and did not hesitate, and immediately commanded the infantry to form a phalanx to crush forward, and shot the enemy with the Smith pistol that he had only obtained yesterday, while the cavalry of the Wu Army lined up in the rear as a reserve.

The unstoppable Duolonga is also very good at using his brains to fight, and the Wu infantry advancing in formation has just approached the battlefield, and Duolonga immediately retreats to the open place to the north with the Qing cavalry, regrouping the whole team and avoiding accidental injuries, so that the Wu soldiers can give full play to the advantages of firepower and picric acid weapons without distraction, and annihilate the enemy more effectively and quickly.

In the wind and rain, the Duolonga army had just gotten rid of the entanglement with the enemy, and the grenadiers of the Wu army officers and soldiers immediately began to exert their might, and the cannonballs were quickly and quickly hit into the enemy's dense places, and the pieces of torture and killing the cavalry of the Twist Army that had not yet been re-lined were tortured and killed, and the Twist Army cavalry was in a mess, or ran around, or fled to the pontoon bridge to seize the road and flee for their lives, or rushed to the infantry phalanx of the Wu Army in a vain attempt to fight in close quarters.

Seeing this scene, Gong Deshu also gave up the stubborn resistance, obediently gave up the dream of killing and retreating the Wu army and then crossing the river, and took the cavalry who could still command directly on the pontoon bridge to cross the river to escape, and the cavalry of the Twist Army who lost their command was even more completely chaotic, and there were countless people who fled in all directions, in order to get on the bridge first, you pushed me, and constantly fell into the river with people and horses, and the infantry of the Wu Army took the opportunity to advance in stride, and used grenadiers to intensively bombard the Twist Army pontoon bridge, killing and injuring a large number of enemies and striving to destroy the enemy pontoon bridge as soon as possible, and completely cut off the eastward escape road of the Twist Army cavalry.

More of the Twist cavalry fled to the open north, only to be met again by the cavalry of Dorona's troops. Seeing with his own eyes that Duolong'a, who took the lead, rushed left and right in the enemy group like a tiger descending from the mountain, invincible, Wu Chaoyue was inevitably even more regretful in his heart, and sighed secretly: "Brave and strategic, hard-working, leading the soldiers, regardless of personal gains and losses, an excellent soldier should have all the virtues, although there are many generals under my command, it is estimated that my brother-in-law Nie Shicheng can compare with him in this regard." But it's a pity, why is he a Manchu man, I pulled him to create a rebellion against the Manchu court, can he agree? ”

At the same time that Wu Chaoyue sighed secretly, the grenadiers and shells of the Wu army had also blown up the four pontoon bridges built by the Twist Army themselves, and on the surging Lishui River, there was only one wooden bridge built by the people to pass, and it was also attacked by the Wu army's grenadiers and grenade shells, and the bridge deck was full of dead bodies, raging fires, and it was almost impassable. Seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Twist Army who had not yet crossed the river also gave up their dream of crossing the river, either scattered and fled for their lives, or dismounted and surrendered in the surrender slogan of the Wu soldiers, while Gong Deshu was dripping blood in his heart on the east bank of Lishui, and screamed loudly, "How can there be such a strange thing in the world?" With such a heavy rain, how could the Qing Demon's musket still fire? Who can beat Wu Dog in the future? (To be continued.) )
