Chapter 149: The Blade in Action

At the junction of North China and Northeast China, there is a pass, which is the first pass in the world - Shanhaiguan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The mountain gathers immortals, the sea hides the dragon and the gods, and the danger is male, which is for the Shanhaiguan.

The city of Shanhaiguan, with a circumference of about 4 kilometers, is a small city, and the whole city is connected to the Great Wall, with the city as the pass. The city is 14 meters high, 7 meters thick, there are four main gates in the whole city, and there are a variety of ancient defense buildings, it is a city pass with a relatively complete defense system.

However, at the end of the 19th century, the ancient defense system basically had little effect, and the Qing army guarding Shanhaiguan had already set up cannons on the city wall, pointing far away.

On this day, a special group of people came to Shanhaiguan.

A corner of Shanhaiguan

Zhou Tao: "Boss, a small team has all entered the city." ”

Su Linmu: "Boss, the second squad has all entered the city. ”

Fang Lei: "Boss, the three squads have all entered the city. ”

Li Feng: "Tell everyone to hide well, don't be discovered by the enemy, wait for the cavalry led by Commander Dong to arrive, and then take the east gate of the town in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes." Zhou Tao, Su Linmu, and Fang Lei replied in unison.

Then the four of them dispersed.

This group of special people who came to Shanhaiguan was the special force in the hands of Yan Xueyi - Sharp Blade.

The Suzaku Legion gathered most of the cavalry troops, and under the leadership of Dong Xiangfu, the commander of the cavalry of the First Division, rushed thousands of miles to attack Shanhaiguan to intercept the Qing court that might retreat to the northeast.

More than 30 people from the first squadron of the Sharp Blade Special Forces, under the leadership of the commander Li Feng, infiltrated the Shanhaiguan in advance and cooperated with the Han cavalry to take the Shanhaiguan, and the main task of the Blade was to open the city gate for the cavalry.

Once the Qing army guarding Shanhaiguan found out that the Han cavalry was coming, they closed the gate tightly, and the Han cavalry who did not carry heavy weapons wanted to open the Shanhaiguan gate, which was very difficult, and their own casualties would increase greatly.

If the blade could open the gate of Shanhaiguan in advance and allow the Han cavalry to enter the city smoothly, then it would be very easy for the Han army to occupy Shanhaiguan.

On the afternoon of 19 May, Dong Xiangfu led nearly 2,000 cavalry on a long journey of nearly a week, bypassing Yanjing to the Shanhai Pass, where he joined the agents of the Intelligence Department, who then sent a signal to Shanhaiguan that the cavalry of the Sharp Blade Han Army had arrived.

(Note: The cavalry of the Han army is relatively far away from Shanhaiguan, at least the Qing army in Shanhaiguan cannot find its figure, and the signal transmission is through the relay transmission, similar to the beacon tower)

The Sharp Blade Special Forces, hidden in the area of the east gate of Shanhaiguan Town, picked up their weapons and quickly approached the east gate of the town, and before launching an attack, they also sent a signal to inform the Han cavalry that the Sharp Blade was going to attack.

After Dong Xiangfu received the information from the sharp blade, he quickly led the cavalry team to charge towards Shanhaiguan and rushed into Shanhaiguan as fast as possible.

At the same time, more than 20 sharp-edged special forces who had already come to the east gate of the town took out two revolvers and named the Qing officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

A revolver is six rounds of ammunition, and fifty revolvers are three hundred rounds of ammunition.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

More than a dozen Qing officers and soldiers guarding the east gate of the town were killed one by one, and suddenly the east gate of the town was in chaos, and the common people who passed through the east gate of the town fled in all directions.

More than 20 sharp-bladed special forces soldiers divided into two roads, guarding all the way under the city gate, and walking all the way up to the city wall, and there were Qing troops on the city wall.

The Qing officers and soldiers on the city wall on the east side of the town heard the sound of gunfire below, and when they saw that there was an enemy attacking, they hurriedly prepared to go down to support, and a small number of them were dragging behind, obviously afraid.

The sharp-edged special forces went up, and the Qing officers and soldiers went down, and the two met in a narrow way, but it was not the brave who won.

The Qing officers and soldiers armed with "single-handed" rifles and even broadswords and spears accelerated their speed and rushed towards the sharp-bladed special forces, vainly hoping to engage in hand-to-hand combat, but the sharp-edged special forces would not give the Qing officers and soldiers this opportunity, and the revolvers in their hands opened fire directly, and a row of Qing officers and soldiers fell down the stairs.

The sharp-bladed special forces who ran out of bullets in front quickly lowered their heads to change bullets, although the revolver was slow to change bullets, but after training, the sharp-bladed special forces could change bullets in a few seconds.

And the Qing officers and soldiers opposite the sharp blade special forces, seeing that the colleagues in front of them were killed, they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, in front of them were devouring bullets, and behind them were their own colleagues, they really couldn't advance or retreat, so they could only lie on the ground, lucky, the bullet passed by, and if they were unlucky, they were sent down to Huangquan by a bullet.

As the first pass in the world, the importance of Shanhaiguan can be imagined, the garrison of Shanhaiguan is usually more than 3,000 people, but the emergence of the Han Kingdom led to a part of the Qing army being transferred, but the Qing army stationed in Shanhaiguan is still as many as 2,000 people, and the Qing officers and soldiers on the east wall are as many as 200 people.

More than a dozen sharp-bladed special forces faced nearly 200 Qing soldiers, and the result of the battle was that the sharp-bladed special forces defeated the Qing soldiers within three minutes, more than 100 Qing soldiers were killed, dozens of Qing soldiers fled, and dozens of Qing soldiers lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

Nearly five minutes passed from the first gunshot at the east gate of the town, and at this time, the general army of Shanhaiguan reacted and sent people to the east gate of the town to check the situation.

At the same time, billowing smoke and dust were rolling up in the distance to the east of Shanhaiguan, which was the cavalry of the Han army galloping on horseback.

In the seventh minute, Qing officers and soldiers slowly rushed to the east gate of the town.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and an officer led by the Qing army was killed, and the officer's men immediately scattered to hide, and no one cared about the officer who fell to the ground and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

On the roof of a roof, special forces armed with sniper rifles saw that the target had been killed, and continued to look for the next target, and their task was to snipe the senior generals or middle- and lower-level officers of the Qing army.

A gunshot rang out, representing the death of the leading officers of the Qing army, the leaderless Qing officers and soldiers panicked, not knowing what to do, and the more timid Qing officers and soldiers directly threw down their weapons and hid in the houses on both sides of the road.

The special forces at the city gate finally ushered in the enemy, facing the Qing army that was beyond the range of the pistol and equipped with a "single one" rifle, the special forces put down the pistol, and turned to the rifle that they had been carrying behind their backs to the front of them, and shot at the Qing army that met them.

In just over ten seconds, the five bullets in the chamber of the gun were exhausted, and the Qing troops on the opposite side also fell a large piece, and the remaining Qing troops scattered to dodge, not daring to rush forward at all, even if the officer gave the order behind him, no Qing officers and soldiers rushed out, after all, the colleagues lying on the road were their examples.

Qing officers and soldiers can only hold "single-one" rifles to fire in the direction of the east gate of the town, but the Qing officers and soldiers who don't dare to show their heads are shot into the sky, how can they hit the special forces in front?

"Drive!"

Another minute later, the Han cavalry stepped into the east gate of the town, and the sharp-bladed special forces successfully completed the task without any casualties.
