Chapter 165: Getting into Trouble
Outside the gate of the Machinery Bureau of the Western Bureau, a sweaty staff officer of the salt regiment rubbed his hands anxiously while panting heavily, and anxiously turned back and forth in circles outside the gate of the Machinery Bureau. Beside him www.biquge.info a warhorse stared at a pair of huge eyes for some unknown reason, and kept turning with its master.
It wasn't until a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded far away from the courtyard of the Machinery Bureau that the staff officer stopped and looked at the courtyard of the Machinery Bureau with his neck stretched out with a look of hope.
Five war horses carrying Qin Chuan, Gao Ying and the four guards rushed out of the gate of the machine bureau at a gallop.
In front of the staff officer outside the gate, Qin Chuan suddenly tightened the reins of the horse, and the big black horse under the crotch was restrained by Qin Chuan's powerful arms, and suddenly stopped his steps with a neigh, and under the impact of inertia, the front hooves of the big black horse were raised high, and it took a small half circle in the air before the front hooves landed and stood firm.
Compared to Qin Chuan, Gao Ying and the four guards were much worse at controlling horses.
Gao Ying's war horse rushed out of Qinchuan's big black horse for half a body before stopping, and the war horses of the four guards all rushed through Qinchuan for more than ten meters before they could stop the horse, and the angry Gao Ying glared fiercely at the four guards with slightly red faces.
"What's going on?" Qin Chuan, who had a black face, sat on horseback and asked the staff officer anxiously.
The staff officer trotted two steps to stand in front of Qin Chuan's horse and began to report the situation to Qin Chuan in a hurry. Because of his nervousness, this young staff officer even forgot to salute Qin Chuan.
It turned out that although today was the seventh day of the first lunar month, according to Qin Chuan's requirements, all the officers and soldiers of the Yan Regiment did not need to go out for training before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but Du Baozhong couldn't stay idle, so he asked Qin Chuan for instructions last night, saying that his cavalry company was different from other troops, and the cavalry could not be idle for too long, otherwise it would be lazy, and the cavalry must be active often, so as to ensure that the wind comes and goes at all times.
Regarding Du Baozhong's statement, Qin Chuan agrees very much.
Du Baozhong's oversized cavalry company of more than 300 people was not a regular cavalry after all, and Qin Chuan never thought that they would be asked to brave the enemy's dense firepower on the battlefield to leap horses and raise swords, what he wanted was the advantage that the cavalry came and went like a fan, and the power was strong. Therefore, although everyone in Du Baozhong's cavalry company was equipped with sabers, Qin Chuan emphasized at the beginning of the training that the cavalry company should pay equal attention to horse combat and foot combat.
Qin Chuan's request is very much in line with Du Baozhong's appetite, and the locks in the Northeast are like this, and Du Baozhong is also very energetic in leading the team to train.
The only difference from the silk in the Northeast is that the silk men do not pay attention to cavalry warfare, their cavalry combat is just horse shooting, and the cavalry company also has a training subject of horse combat and hand-to-hand combat, and the instructor is an instructor invited by the Martial Arts Academy.
In the past six months, the cavalry company, under the training of Du Baozhong, immediately went underground, shooting and fighting outstanding, and shooting immediately was even more decent. Needless to say, the riding skills are foot combat, except for Xu Tong's reconnaissance company and Shi Feng's guard company, other troops are not comparable to the cavalry company, which makes Qin Chuan very happy, and he is even more impressed by Du Baozhong's ability.
If there is anything unsatisfactory, it is that Qin Chuan is somewhat dissatisfied that Du Baozhong's bandit spirit also made the cavalry company and these young men learn seven, seven, eight, eight.
"The one who is close to the ink is black."
Every time Qin Chuan saw those rebellious cavalrymen, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart.
After getting Qin Chuan's approval, Du Baozhong led the cavalry to train overnight last night, and said that he would come back today. But I didn't want to, the cavalry company had a problem on the way back.
In addition to the subjects required by Qin Chuan, he also added a lot of things to the training of Du Baozhong's cavalry company, because Qin Chuan had hinted to him in private that this cavalry unit would be in the white mountains and black waters in the future, just like a whirlwind of powder, sand and cold snow particles in the mountains.
Qin Chuan didn't say it explicitly, and Du Baozhong also understood, to put it bluntly, he wanted him to fight like he did in the future. Although Du Baozhong didn't know very well why Qin Chuan, a promising alternate, was like this, it was very much in line with his thoughts, and he did things even better than what Qin Chuan had explained.
What's more, Du Baozhong is a former man who doesn't have a good impression of the current imperial court, and he doesn't need to think much about Qin Chuan's thoughts, as long as this proprietor he admires very much has requirements, he doesn't care what kind of thoughts Qin Chuan has.
Therefore, in addition to the indispensable regular cavalry training, Du Baozhong paid more attention to the agility of the cavalry in the training. During each march, Du Baozhong would tell his subordinates the purpose, and sometimes in squads, sometimes in platoons, and marched in various parts. Sometimes, even these platoons have to divide themselves into groups of men and march in smaller units.
On the way back this time, it was still the same, but he didn't want the three soldiers of the cavalry company to be bumped into by more than a dozen people from the Sheng Army Lu Benyuan's horse team who thought they had lost money and were red-eyed when they passed by outside Machang Town. When the people of the Sheng army saw that the other party was brightly dressed, and the horses were all fat and strong, and they were all fat and strong, worth seven or eight hundred taels of silver, and they were still three people who were alone, the sentry officer led by them moved their minds, relying on the large number of people, and they were going to snatch the horses with an excuse.
The Sheng army is divided into a foot battalion and a horse battalion, and the horse battalion has a total of five battalions, and the station is in the horse factory, which is led by Lu Benyuan.
Sheng Jun's military discipline was still very strict when Zhou Shengbo and Zhou Shengchuan were brothers, but when Wei Rugui and Jia Qisheng arrived, they began to decline under Wei Rugui's intentional or unintentional connivance, and when Jia Qisheng was transferred to the Beiyang Camp Office, the military discipline was even more unbearable.
This is not to say how incompetent Wei Rugui is, this Wei Rugui led the troops to train very strictly, but he didn't care much about the military discipline of the troops, and Wei Rugui was extremely protective of his shortcomings, which further fueled Sheng Jun's arrogant habits. In particular, the fifth battalion of the horse team of the horse factory, which is far away from Wei Rugui, is especially inferior under the more lazy Lu Benyuan, and even the daily training is extremely slack.
Although the number of people is smaller than that of the other party, the people of the cavalry company in this small half a year, not only have superb riding skills, but also make Du Baozhong full of arrogance, they don't bully others, there is room for someone to bully them, at that time they pulled out their saber, with the back of the knife for a while. Because Lu Benyuan's people didn't come out for training, except for the sentry officer with a saber, no one else brought any guys, so that more than a dozen people from the Sheng Army Horse Team were chased by the young men of the three cavalry companies and ran around in the field outside the town.
A platoon of people then followed up a few waves, and when they saw their own people fighting with the Sheng army, they didn't care about 3721, and as soon as they rushed up, they joined the battle group and began to fight in groups.
The people of the cavalry company, almost all of them are Du Baozhong from the northeast people found from outside the pass, these people are not only strong-tempered, but also have a lot of horseback riding foundation, after this half a year of training, riding skills are not comparable to these people in the Sheng army, by these people left and right to cut off a circle, a cold and hard knife back, these dozen Sheng army people were either beaten to the head or broken arm fracture.
It's just that although these young men of the cavalry company did not hesitate to move, they also knew that after all, it was not a confrontation between the two armies, and they did not make a dead move, which gave Sheng Jun the opportunity to let the two clever desperate search for a gap and rush out of the battle group and run back to Machang Town to report the news.
The sentry officer, who had a blue nose and swollen face, rushed out of the town to save the people first, and was then scattered by a super-large platoon of more than 50 people who were skilled in riding after the third platoon, and suffered a great loss.
Hearing that the people of their own horse team were fighting with the people of the salt group outside the town, the people of the other battalions of the Sheng army horse team also ran out to help, and seeing that there were more and more people on the other side, the people of the salt group roared and beat their horses and galloped away.
Du Baozhong, who got the news, gathered his men and hurried back, and at the same time sent people to the horse factory to explore the movements of the Sheng army, and learned that the angry Lu Benyuan had gathered a team to chase after him. According to the report, although Sheng Jun did not carry a firearm, he had a saber in his hand.
Although Du Baozhong is usually a little unruly, he is very smart, and he knows that he is causing trouble this time, and he, a small leader of the regimental training with a "criminal record" and not entering the grade, is absolutely unbearable, so he hurriedly ran back to East Street with his company of men and horses like a gust of wind.
Du Baozhong didn't find Qin Chuan when he came back, so he hurriedly called Zhou Dajing, Chu Yunfei, and Xu Tong together and hurriedly told everyone the whole story.
Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong, the two people who were excited when they heard about the fight, heard that Lu Benyuan was chasing after him with several battalions of horse teams, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they rolled up their arms and sleeves and shouted to blow the trumpet and call for someone to copy the guy. The other battalion and company commanders also refused to show weakness, and turned around to run out to assemble the team.
Shi Feng and Zhou Dajing were more steady, hurriedly called out to everyone, and sent people to the Western Bureau to find Qin Chuan; Assign tasks and be prepared to respond.
Although these two people are not very old, but a few years ago, they fought long hair, and more recently, there are flat twists, and even when the bandits are exterminated in various places, as long as the officers and soldiers arrive, they will make a miasma in various places, not to mention the group of chaotic soldiers who have come to the door today, and they are not allowed to hurt people, and if they do not say well, some people will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, wantonly smash them, and steal some property and silver money by the way.
If you want to say that the place is the richest, needless to say, fools know that the piles in the banks and money houses are all white money.
According to Zhou Dajing's arrangement, the various departments of the Yan Regiment were first dispersed to the factories, schools and residential areas of the Aurora Group as a company, Shi Feng's guard company was responsible for the guards in the courtyard of the dyeing factory, and Chu Yunfei's battalion and Du Baozhong's cavalry were responsible for dealing with the Sheng army that came to the door as the main force. Xu Tong's reconnaissance company enters the Aurora Bank and is responsible for the bank's guards. In addition, the third and fourth battalions of He Ruhuai and Fang Weijun each set up a company to prepare for blocking the north and south intersections of East Street once the fight started.
Shi Feng and Zhou Dajing repeatedly emphasized that all troops, rifles must be filled with bullets, but bullets must not be loaded, the safety must be closed, and no one can shoot without Qin Chuan's order. However, all troops had to take bayonets, and if necessary, bayonets could be used, as long as they did not stab people to death.
After listening to the staff officer's report, Qin Chuan, who had been riding on the horse, suddenly turned pale.
It's okay to say that there was a dispute between the newly established Yan Regiment and Li Hongzhang's most affiliated troops, but at most it was just to pay some silver. But now that Lu Benyuan is chasing after him with a horse team, the two sides will fight hard, if someone dies, he will not be guilty of this salt group, and if he doesn't know that the salt group that he has worked so hard to give countless hopes will be dismissed, and it is not easy to say that he even cut off his Qin Chuan's head.
Qin Chuan pointed at the staff officer: "You don't have to go back to Dongjie, go to Lord Zhou and Master Sheng immediately and inform them of our situation." β
Qin Chuan didn't finish a word, his legs slammed the belly of the big black horse, the big black horse had already neighed, his four hooves struggled, and he rushed out with a "whoosh", galloping away in the direction of Dongjie like a gallop.
Gao Ying, who heard the swaying of his heart, hurriedly shouted, and led the four guards to gallop desperately, following closely behind Qin Chuan's horseγγγγγγ (To be continued.) )
