The five hundred imperial court patrol battalions, when they first heard the news, everyone, including Yang Xingguo, was taken aback by the news. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, when Yang Xingguo listened to the introduction of the 500 patrol battalion by Zhou Zhongju and the spies, his heart, which was still nervous just now, immediately relaxed.

Because, in Yang Xingguo's opinion, the equipment of the 500 patrol battalion is not as good as the 50 guards who have just been equipped with Mosin Nagant rifles, and the others are not even as good as Hanako......

What singles one, what firecrackers, what shotguns...... Both. What's more, almost half of the soldiers of the patrol battalion were armed with cold weapons such as broadswords and spears.

As for the training aspect, that's even more to say......

Because the military pay was too low and the food was too poor, the patrol battalion of 500 people could be said to be disorganized in military discipline, and it did not conduct a real training for almost half a year.

Such an army with inferior equipment and poor combat effectiveness to encircle and suppress itself...... In Yang Xingguo's opinion, even if there were five hundred of them, it would not be much different from sending them to death.

However, Wang Hu and Zhou Zhongju are not so optimistic. In their opinion, the patrol battalion of 500 people is desperate for their lives, and they will also fight to the death of Yangjiazhai, which has only more than 100 people. Therefore, since hearing the news, the frowning brows of the two people have not stretched.

After seeing these in his eyes, Yang Xingguo had to open his mouth and encourage: "Don't worry...... The 500 patrol battalion seems to have a lot of people, but in fact they are all troops that are vulnerable and inferior to bandits...... We are not even afraid of the elite of Lao Maozi, let alone these people......"

"I promise here, they will never be able to get close to our cottage......"

"You two stay in the cottage to train recruits, and I'll take the sharpshooter squad to meet the enemy......"

"Don't say more, in five days, the patrol battalion must be automatically withdrawn, and they must also leave the fifty Mosin Nagant rifles they just equipped, so that all the brothers in the cottage are equipped with fast guns......"

Yang Xingguo's self-confidence once again infected the two of them, and as soon as he finished speaking, the frowning brows of the two of them relaxed.

Not only that, Wang Hu in front of him even kept asking for battle, hoping to follow Yang Xingguo to fight the patrol battalion and defeat the patrol battalion......

As a small county town with a population of less than 50,000 outside the Guanguan, Anshan was not qualified to deploy a patrol battalion.

However, because there is an iron mine in Anshan, iron is produced...... Although most of the mines were controlled by Lao Maozi, there were still a small number of mines controlled by the imperial court, providing iron ore to the imperial court.

In order to ensure the safety of these iron mines, the imperial court set up a patrol battalion here, and arranged a positive six-grade pipe belt to command a patrol battalion of 500 people.

Because there are many bandits in Anshan, the imperial court also specially allocated a horse team to the patrol battalion.

Therefore, although the equipment of this Anshan patrol battalion is not very good, its personnel are incomparable to other patrol battalions.

The entire Anshan patrol battalion consisted of a horse team, divided into three front, middle and rear outposts, with 150 cavalry. There is one infantry team, which is also divided into three posts, the front, the middle and the rear, with a total of 300 people. In the end, there was a personal guard of fifty men, a total of five hundred.

The patrol battalion is in charge of Luo Wenshan, and the imperial court is a military attache of the sixth grade......

At this moment, Luo Wenshan, who was dressed in official uniform, was riding a war horse, escorted by the pro-guards and cavalry teams, and slaughtered towards Pine Ridge.

As for the infantry of 300 men, the front and center posts were in the front, the rear posts were in the rear, and the guards were in front and behind the cavalry.

At this moment, it was almost two hours before Rowan Mountain left the city. According to the plan, they will cover at least 20 miles of mountain road in the next two hours. Subsequently, camp at the foot of the main peak of Pine Ridge.

Because the purpose of the patrol battalion's attack this time was not to take Pine Ridge, Luo Wenshan, who was very good at preserving his strength, did not intend to do his best from the beginning.

In his thoughts, after he camped at the foot of the main peak of Pine Ridge, he only needed to send a sentry force every day to continuously launch a tentative attack on the top of the main peak and put some pressure on Yangjiazhai on the top of the mountain.

However, what Luo Wenshan did not expect was that just one march would be so difficult.

An hour after leaving Anshan County, Luo Wenshan and his party left the official road and entered the mountain road.

I thought that no matter what, riding a war horse would be better and much easier than walking.

However, when he really arrived at the mountain road, Luo Wenshan realized that riding a horse on a mountain road was more difficult than marching on foot.

After an hour of hard torture, in order to make his butt more comfortable, Luo Wenshan had to put down his official shelf, give up his war horse, and march on foot like an ordinary soldier.

Although it is still very cold in the northeast now, as the pipe belt of the 500 patrol battalion, Luo Wenshan still wears very warm robes. However, after an hour's march on foot, beads of sweat the size of beans continued to flow from Luo Wenshan's forehead.

Stopping on the side of the mountain road and taking a long sigh, Luo Wenshan, who had turned pale because of his long-term pampering, asked directly to the captain of the personal guard beside him: "Chief Wang, how long do we have to reach the main peak of Pine Ridge......

"Two hours......" replied the captain of the guard without thinking.

The long mountain road made Rowan Shan have the idea of retreating directly, but when Rowan saw the Ichi Mosin Nagant rifle that the guards couldn't buy, Rowan directly gave up this idea.

Because, the temptation of fifty Mosin Nagant rifles was too great for him, even if it was synthesized into silver, it was almost three thousand taels.

With his current status, no matter how much he embezzles and eats empty salaries, it will take almost two years to earn so much silver......

With a long sigh of helplessness on his face, Luo Wenshan had to order his troops to continue to advance towards Pine Ridge.

And at this moment, the sharpshooter squad led by Yang Xingguo, including himself, a total of fourteen people, just like hunters, quietly lurked in the dense forest less than fifty meters beside the mountain road.

And the soldiers of the 500 patrol battalions of the imperial court were passing in front of them one after another along the mountain road.

As the only personal guard in the patrol battalion equipped with Mosin Nagant rifles slowly entered Yang Xingguo's field of vision, Yang Xingguo's gaze, which was still indifferent just now, immediately became hot.

Because, he was waiting for the target who had been lying in ambush here for half an hour finally appeared.
