In Weizhou, Hebei Province, the original withered yellow grass blades have gradually turned into frost white, even under the sun on a sunny day, it is difficult to hide the chill that blows on the face.

In the action and sound of loading and checking guns,

"These drugs have to be used leisurely......"

Gu Laosi, the deputy of the regiment who was squatting in the middle, explained

"Don't let the guns go when you see a storm......"

"It's not easy to replenish after crossing the river......"

"Even if there are a few mules to accumulate, it is one cent less than one cent......"

"Don't sue me, if you're used to using guns, you won't use other weapons."

He was greeted by a wave of weapon-wielding movements and sneer.

At this time, several birdsong came from the road

"Here ......

They were suddenly silenced, and some of them held their breath and tightened their grip on their weapons, and most of them resisted the urge and desire to probe their brains out to observe.

Only Gu Laosi and other leaders used the cover of grass and trees to carefully distinguish the direction of the comers

On the way, a large number of shouting and marching figures slowly appeared, which was an escort team with the characteristics of the Northern Dynasties, a large number of mules, horses and carts, accompanied by the same number of armhands and guards.

It's just that there are not as many banners as those of the regular army, and the figures without armor and cloth also account for the vast majority of them, and the main weapons are cheap spears, and only a few people carry bows and arrows.

Among them, the only thing that was more troublesome was the small group of cavalry that walked in front, and once they were alarmed and fled, but they who only had a preliminary grasp of the cavalry march might not be able to catch up.

"Don't let them get away......"

Gu Laosi frowned slightly and said in a low voice

"You have to get closer and then hit ......"

"Shoot their mounts with a quick shot...... That's where the goal is the biggest."

Gu Laosi once again emphasized his experience and basic deployment: "The leading team officer will be handed over to the chasseur ......", "At the first time, I will first beat the horse team that runs fast, and I will ...... it"

And this qiē, which is nothing more than a matter of a few breaths,

Suddenly, among the barren grass and dead trees on the side of the road, a group of people dressed in flowers and greens stood up, and they raised their weapons in their hands and made a crackling sound of fried beans.

Under the fire of the approaching platoon within thirty paces, the cavalry who slowly walked in the front of the line was like being beaten by an invisible whip, and suddenly the people turned on their backs, screaming and screaming, overturned and fell to the ground.

The rest of the horses, who were not hit, but roared sharply, turned their heads, and instead of breaking forward to escape or joining up with the rear team, they rushed straight in the direction of the ambush, and the distance of twenty or thirty paces was only a matter of two breaths for them.

Then they ran into the spearmen, who had been hiding in the grass, and these spearmen, who were half-crouched and used their thighs and arms as fulcrums, stabbed the first two horses of the charge with a light puff, and forced the rest of the cavalry to stop or turn to the sides, exposing themselves to the diagonal line of the volley.

At this time, the rest of the revolver guns and trumpet guns began to exert their might, and the table tennis rounds were released quickly, and the people and horses who hesitated were full of blood, rolling and falling to the ground.

It was just a matter of lightning and flint, and with the defeat of the cavalry, the last cavalryman who turned around and ran away was shot in the back and rolled to the ground.

The rest of the men stopped in place as if they had blown up their nests, the cats bent over their waists or hunched over, shouting to each other and hiding behind the carts, and a few of the archers had already touched the quiver and began to string up and prepare to fight back

Then, on the other side of them, more ambushers stepped out of the grass and trees, firing more projectiles at their sideways, and suddenly beating the armed guards into a daze.

The archers, on the other hand, were the first to be taken care of, and as soon as their leader showed up and got up to aim, he was hit by a fairly accurate projectile on the shoulder and neck, and he fell to the board of the car with his head tilted, and the arrows in his hands also flew out, piercing a standard-bearer at close range.

The rest of the people barely had time to shoot or release the strings before they were swept down by an invisible force, bursting into clumps of blood on their chests, shoulders, abdomen, and thighs.

For a moment, the procession winding along the road was shot by a line from the front and oblique side, drowning in the debris and blood flowers that "Bibo" burst, and the screams and wails were endless.

The bullet-wounded and frightened animals hissed loudly, trying to break free from the restraints behind them, but they inevitably dragged the cart away from its original position, exposing the armed men who had hurriedly hid behind them.

Therefore, after the third unison radiation, with Gu Laosi's signal, the trumpeter beside him also sounded the horn of the attack.

Then, in the order of spearmen in front and guns in the back, they stepped out of the grass and trees where they were covered, and sprinted away at a short trot towards the road, which was in a mass of transports.

On the other side of them, the White Soldiers were already running first, outflanking them. Those who were hiding behind the cart were driven out again and fled off the road.

At this time, the second round of volleys began, and suddenly knocked these people down again from behind and from the side.

So the rest of the people were in an uproar, and they all fled the road and scattered, leaving their unsuspecting backs to the pursuing men and horses.

"It's so easy,"

"If you don't even use the firearm you throw, the other party will already be defeated,"

Gu Laosi secretly concluded in his heart.

They didn't seem to have any experience in fighting with guns, and they didn't expect to encounter the Southern Army here, so they were a little flustered and caught off guard.

Even the patrol posts who went out to travel in front of them were a little vain to deal with things.

In fact, even these cavalry who opened the way were empty of blood and courage with limited reaction and quality, and they were far less experienced and accustomed to fighting than those northern soldiers who had fought in Henan.

At this time, the sergeants who participated in the battle had already dealt with the wounded and prisoners, counted the carriages and horses on the road together, and Gu Laosi also dictated the specific battle records and visualizations to the special regimental clerks.

In Yuancheng, Weizhou Prefecture, Hebei Province, I was inspecting the loot collected in the city, and I just sent several armed reconnaissance personnel out as tentacles for the extension of the periphery.

In fact, after landing in Hebei, I found that I seemed to be a little wrong, not so much because the enemy was so powerful or difficult, but because he was too weak.

My careful preparation and prudence were like a force that had nowhere to go, and all kinds of means and countermeasures were all in the void.

The north coast of Hebei, for me, is almost undefended, and I am open to the open. Although there are many beacons, forts, sentry towers, and walled cities along the coast, most of them are too weak to cope with things, and even if they stay, they are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled.

As a result, these arrangements hardly worked as they should, and they were drowned in the offensive of the troops that went forward.

In just a few days, several of my vanguard troops captured several cities between Weizhou and Xiangzhou, Hebei, Yanyuan, Dunqiu, Guancheng, Linhuang and other cities, and there were only a small number of local soldiers and volunteers.

And in addition to the two battalions of united soldiers, within a radius of two or three hundred miles from Weizhou Prefecture, there was not even a decent military number.

After they were lured out and annihilated by the light yì, the city of Weizhou actually thought of taking out a sum of money, food, and wealth to calm down our "friendly army in transit".

And when the prisoners were tortured, they realized that the motive and reason for their full dispatch was to take the opportunity to annex this small unit, and as a result, there were no bones left in the buttocks of the predators that were transferred.

However, the main purpose of these armed forces is to maintain the basic control and order of the locality, to ensure that enough young people are requisitioned from the local area, and to meet the basic needs of transportation along the way, especially when the famine after the great drought has not long passed, and there are still hungry people and bandits.

In fact, with the counterattack army crossing the river and opening up another battlefield, Hebei Xingtai is now giving the highest priority to transporting and supporting the Luodu front.

The multi-line attack and defense around Dugi Province is like a bottomless black hole, which has swallowed up a large number of manpower and material resources from Hebei Zhudao, and has also drained Yan Zòng of manpower, material resources and defense of places along Hebei.

So, after seizing Weizhou, I was a little overwhelmed and at a loss, because, according to the reports sent back by the pioneers, the goals and directions that could be attacked seemed to be full of many options, and the Hebei Plain had opened the door to my property.

Well, even if Liu Jiye is luring the enemy deep into the dead room, if I can cooperate seamlessly in time and place, and use this step, then I can only obediently admit it.

However, my confusion did not last long, and I made up my mind because of a certain news. The troops operating in the area of Guantao in the northeast intercepted two transport teams heading to Luodu.

"According to the established strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false......"

"Avoid the center of gravity and hot spots in the direction of Lodo"

"Along the north shore of the states, to the east......"

I stood in front of the big map and gave orders.

"The focus of the next strategy is not to occupy the territory and seize the city."

"Instead, we will clear out the ferries and beacons along the way......"

"Collect more ships and supplies......

"By the way, the supply line from Hebei to Luodu will be knocked out for me......"

"Let's make a big fuss in Hebei......
