Corpses, corpses everywhere!

It was only two platoon shots, but only less than 300 rounds were fired, and 113 people were killed and wounded, and more importantly, they were shot from 60 feet away!

In the past, if they fired from 60 kilometers away, most of the bullets could even miss, but now, those bullets hit the enemy accurately, and many even hit the body several times.

……

Looking at the broken arms on the ground and the corpses, Sun Dada, who was on the battlefield for the first time, couldn't even adapt to the blood and death all over the ground......

"Grandma's, this war is easier than killing chickens......"

Liu Liu swallowed his saliva, looked at the rifled gun in Sun Dacheng's hand, those eyes were even brighter, his shooting performance was not as good as Sun Dacheng, so he could only use a smoothbore gun, originally he thought that he would have to fight with a bayonet, but who would have thought that after the rifled guns fired two rows of guns in a row, when they launched a charge, these Qing troops had no ability to resist at all - all of them were either dead or wounded, how could they resist.

"Silver!"

Suddenly, a shout of surprise came.

"Battalion commander, these carts are loaded with silver!"

Silver!

Twenty thousand taels of silver!

This news only made Li Long stunned, originally he just wanted to kill this Qing army and show the prestige of the righteous army, but who would have thought that so much silver was seized!

But what is all this money for?

What's more, why did these Hunan people escort these silver to Hubei!

Is it going to Jingzhou? Obviously not on this path!

Then what did they escort so much silver to Hubei for?

"You, come here!"

Pointing to a Qing soldier kneeling on the ground, Li Long asked.

"Tell me, what is this silver for?"

"Return, back to the general's words, these silver are for my family's Zeng Da...... Send it to the Qianyong camp in Guizhou......" The Qing army who was pointed at dared to hide a little, and hurriedly told the purpose of his trip one by one, for fear that he would become a corpse on the ground.

"Qianyong Battalion? Qianyong? ”

Li Longwei's answer made Li Longwei feel surprised, he had led a battalion across the river, but he never thought that there were more than 1,000 reinforcements from Guizhou stationed outside Guizhou City on the other side of the river. This was apparently not mentioned in previous intelligence.

"Who is the leader of the Qing army?"

"Hu Linyi!"

"Haven't heard of it!"

It is true that he has never heard of it, in fact, it is Zeng Guofan, and he may not have heard of it, this is not to say that he can't grasp the enemy's intelligence, the most fundamental reason is that Li Long is only the commander of a battalion, and he naturally can't talk about the officials of the Qing army, not to mention that Hu Linyi still came all the way from Guizhou, so naturally he has never heard of the name of this Hu Daoist.

If he knew the name of his bandit suppression in Guizhou, I am afraid that Li Long would be more careful, but this time, he who had just won a small victory, would have taken these more than 1,000 Qing troops in his eyes. In his eyes, these more than 1,000 people are not soldiers, but naked military exploits!

"Sir, are we going to fight or not?"

Ding Erpeng, who was holding a rifle in his hand, looked at the battalion commander and asked, before he could even catch up, the battle was over.

"More than a thousand ......"

Talking about the men and horses of the Qing army, Li Long, who was originally a little cautious but because of this small victory, and was full of ambition, looked at the platoon commanders around him, all of them were looking for battle, since the third regiment broke through Yicheng, the governor of Huguang cut himself, and more than 10,000 Qing troops died or surrendered, and the next road, even a strong city like Xiangyang was also conquered without a fight, and even like Yunyang Fucheng, such a place was "captured" by a few scouts.

This will just get a small victory, and finally touch a piece of "fat meat", how can the big guy not be excited. For others, this is more than 1,000 soldiers, but for these righteous officers and soldiers who have not met an opponent for several months, this more than 1,000 Qing troops are simply a fat meat sent to the door...... No, it's military merit.

This righteous army is the first military merit, and as for the background of the family, it has no effect at all. As for the previous more than 100 Qing troops, it was just a small test, and it was naturally not worth mentioning in comparison......

"Sir, when the cavalry battalion fought Wuchang, there were more than 10,000 people in Wuchang......"

"But no, sir, when did this Qing army fight for anger, in my opinion, let's just put a platoon of guns, and then charge with bayonets to ensure that this Qing army can be wiped out!"

"Annihilation? Beautiful you, I guess we will shoot a row of guns, and they will flee without a shadow! ”

"No, those grandsons are running faster than the other!"

"Run, is it the people who run fast, or the bullets that run fast!"

In the midst of the laughter around him, Li Long gritted his teeth vigorously and nodded suddenly.

"Cheng, let the brothers rest and recuperate, let's go and clean up this Qing army today!"

Self-confidence is to fight, at least for Li Long, this battle of easily annihilating more than 100 Qing troops made him and his subordinates full of self-confidence that they had never had before.

The cart loaded with silver moved slowly under the pull of the horse, and crossed the river, the speed of the carriage seemed to be a little faster than when it was in Jiangnan, and it was better to say that the speed of the bracilian walking next to the two carriages was faster than in the past.

He was wearing a damp coat, which was taken off from the corpse, and when he lowered his head, Liu Liu could still see the gun hole sewn with needle and thread under his chest, the gun hole was not big, if he looked closely, he could always notice it, but he was not worried, in fact, there was nothing to worry about at all.

It's nothing more than a few shots from one person!

However, this shot ...... Well, now this gun has turned into a red tassel knife.

"Be careful, brothers, just throw as many grenades as you can!"

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Qianyong camp, Ding Erpeng, who was riding on a horse and pretending to be a sentry officer, reminded his subordinates on the side.

The grenade is a newly developed weapon in the factory in Wuchang, with an iron lump at one end of the wooden stick, and a fuse tube coated with foreign medicine under the wooden stick.

Although there is no artillery in the battalion, if the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion throw out the grenades one by one, the power is probably not comparable to the salvo of an artillery regiment, but because the output is not much, the battalion only has four men in the battalion when crossing the river this time, but now the officers and soldiers of the third company led by Wu Erpeng have six guns, all of which are packed in cloth bags behind their waists.

The carriage moved along the official road, and when it was still a few miles away from the camp of Qianyong, it was convenient for the bridge to encounter Qianyong, who had obviously already received the news, and when they heard that they had come from Hunan, all of them had a smile on their faces, and they hurriedly sent people back to the camp to deliver the letter, while warmly greeting these "distinguished guests" who came from afar.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic is also simple -- in the past, these Qianyong, who came from Guizhou and waded through the mountains and rivers, even thought that not only would they not even be able to receive military salaries, but it was a matter of whether they could even return to Guizhou alive, but who would have thought that a few days ago, Master Hu would tell everyone that the military salaries from Hunan would arrive at any time, and the military salaries owed to everyone would be paid at the same time, so that the original chaotic military spirit would naturally settle down.

Salary is the heart of the army, this is really true!

Listening to the news that the military salary was coming, the Qianyong camp didn't even bother to practice anymore these days, and the orders of the sentry officers and sentinels were also in defiance of the soldiers, and this would immediately restore their respect, and everyone looked at the camp with blank eyes and looked at the cart that transported the military salary.

Not to mention that it is an ordinary brave man, even Hu Linyi himself, when he heard that the military salary had been relieved, he was also excited to get up to greet him, but after thinking about it, he was a dignified Taoist, how could he surrender his identity to welcome a small sentinel, so he was firmly in the Chinese army, and commanded Li Desheng beside him.

"Victory, you go to meet you, those brothers have worked hard after such a long journey, first tell the husband to add food today, see if there is one, no, two fat pigs, the brothers are really too bitter for a while, tonight, the big guy will let go of his stomach and eat some meat!"

Although he has been entangled in the current situation in Hunan for several days, he thought that 20,000 taels of silver could not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also be enough for himself for several months, which would make Hu Linyi look a little expectant, at least with this military salary, this level is now considered to be in the past, the army's heart will not be scattered, and the team will not collapse.

But what's next?

Hu Linyi, who was in the Chinese army, frowned suddenly, he looked at the empty military tent, but he missed Zhang Mogu, maybe Zhang Mogu could only be a peace officer, but at this time, when he urgently needed someone else to give him an idea, there was no one else around him except for a few reckless men in the army.

This is not to blame Hu Linyi, after all, he has just been promoted to Guidongdaotai, and there is only one master behind his scenes, and for the sake of Zhang Mogu's future, he left him in Guizhou, so naturally there is no staff around him, there is no shogunate, and there is no staff.

"Hey, it seems that if you go back to Hunan this time, you have to attract talents and use your energy!"

Hu Linyi, who was suffering from no one to consult, sighed, and his eyebrows were full of sorrowful looks, no one to consult means that the problem cannot be solved, as for returning to Hunan, judging from the current situation, it is even more in the place of death, how can he be willing?

But if you don't go back to Hunan, where can you go? The world is so big, where is your own place? How could Hu Linyi, who was in a dilemma, not be depressed.

At this moment, there was a burst of joy from Ding Yong outside the tent of the Chinese army.

"It's coming! It's coming, it's coming......" (To be continued.) )
