Two mining wagons were running in front, and dozens of meters behind the carts, more than a dozen pursuers on horseback were getting closer and closer.

The ore is constantly being lifted from the cart, lightening the load and also disrupting the pursuers. The soldier lying on his stomach on the carriage, aiming and shooting backwards. The carriage was bumpy during the march, and although the distance was not far, the hit rate was not high.

Where did the people come from? It is a collection of people of almost all colors, yellow, light black, brown, and even white. The clothes were neat, closer to the soldiers of the West, with rifles in their hands, and some could even shoot forward on the back of a galloping horse. This is the Griqua people, Liang Hong suddenly understood, this is the local indigenous Nama and European white mixed population. The Namami belonged to the Khoikhoi branch, and the mixed-race Nama, who were ostracized and persecuted by the orthodox Boers, fell into the arms of the British. They fought bravely, attacking indigenous Africans, robbing the Boer population, and even fighting the Zulu rebels in the north.

A group of professional robbers, Liang Hong behind the fence put down the binoculars, and there was no luck in his heart. Picked up Lee Enfield and aimed at the knight who was approaching range. Compared to the Mauser 1893, the captured Lee Enfield 1895 had a longer barrel, a longer firing baseline, and a farther and more accurate bullet. What's more, the Lee Enfield magazine was ten rounds.

The mining wagons were getting closer, but so were the distances to the pursuers behind them. A small puff of smoke rose from the carriage, and the rider who was chasing after him fell violently from his horse. But the pursuers in the back quickly rushed up, and the soldiers in the carriage were still reloading, firing their guns, and the latter rolled out of the cart. In the sad single shot of 1871, Liang Hong saw the whole process clearly, but he couldn't do anything.

The carriage was still galloping, and the rider who had just fired the gun crossed the carriage and headed straight for the horses in front. Want to stop a horse? Liang Hong gritted his teeth fiercely, and the death of the soldiers on the minecart made him feel sad and indignant. The muzzle of the gun is aimed at the mount, and at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters, the horse may be able to hit.

Raised the muzzle slightly, pulled the trigger. Ruyizi, don't mistake me, when the bullet went out, he actually recited the mantra of Yanqing, the prodigal son in the Water Margin.

Lee Enfield is a good gun, known as Ruyizi's bullet, and he was lucky not to encounter crosswinds during flight. I saw the distant war horse swoop upward, and threw out the owner who leaned over to grab the reins of the horse.

Super level rapid fire, each bullet seems to be fired for the dead soldier. Lee Enfield can be called the ultimate manual rifle, with a ten-round magazine and a smooth bolt-action bolt, which is enough to ensure that Liang Hong deters enemy cavalry. In less than two minutes, the magazines were emptied, and seven horses were brought down, and most of them were outside the effective range of black powder bullets at a distance of 800 to 400 meters.

The mining wagons finally entered the fence, but the pursuers did not leave, and kept wandering over the steppe, as if waiting for something.

This time, the mining team lost one soldier and one miner, and on the way back, they were attacked and the miner was killed instantly. Hateful bandit, the anger in Liang Hong's heart can't find an outlet to vent, his soldiers are too few, and his armament is too weak.

Before sunset, hundreds of new people arrived in the steppe, most on horseback, each with a weapon in his hand, many with Martini Henry rifles, but also other old rifles, and even flintlock pistols. It seems that the other party is determined to eat him.

Now, together with the new recruits that the barracks had just created, Liang Hong had three soldiers under his command, an armed miner, and the other dozen or so people couldn't even put their guns down. In addition, there are six Pitbulls left in the base to assist in the defense of the fence. With the base backed by Lake Marla on the west side and a temple wall on the east side, Liang Hong has activated the temple protection formation, which can resist a small number of enemies and limited damage.

In the north and south directions, one soldier and two workers were sent each, and the workers could help the soldiers to reload their bullets, so they brought an extra Mauser 1871. A miner with a Colt pistol and a Pitbull is sent to the east temple to prevent enemies from destroying the temple from the outside. Liang Hong and Jia Lingyi both carried magazines and rifles and climbed to the top of the bunker to support from a distance as snipers in all directions. Underneath the bunker, the rest of the men and the Pitbulls serve as reserve forces, ready to fight back at close range against the enemies who burst into the bar.

Suddenly, there was movement in the distance from the Griqua people. The Griquas on horseback split into two groups and then flanked and outflanked from the north and south.

"Huo-Huo-"

The people on the horse shouted loudly, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, which was even more powerful.

When the foremost horses were five hundred meters from the fence, the Leenfield rifles on the pillboxes opened fire. At a distance of 600 meters, a 7.7 mm bullet accurately hit the galloping horse. The horses in front of them fell one after another, causing a commotion behind them, and the unprepared riders either reined in their mounts or turned their horses' heads around them, causing more confusion behind them.

Click, the sound of the firing pin hitting the air, and before you know it, the ten-round magazine is empty. He dropped the rifle in his hand and picked up another Lee Enfield. He was in charge of the most stressful south side, and at the moment the people were already on their backs, and the soldiers by the fence were completely able to cope with it alone. The soldiers made by the system have excellent marksmanship at the level of hitting 100-meter fixed targets, but the longer distance is much worse than that of moving targets, only A Zero One is slightly stronger than others because of the early time.

Turning around and looking at the other side, the south side of Jia Zero-One is in charge, and the pressure is going to be greater. About 100 meters from the fence to the base bunker, Jia Lingyi used Liang Hong's original Mauser 1893, a five-round magazine, and the firing speed was slightly slower, plus his marksmanship was inferior to Liang Hong, and some could not suppress the impact of the enemy's cavalry.

Now that the enemy cavalry had rushed within a hundred meters of the fence, some dismounted and fired their rifles at the soldier defending the fence, while others continued to rush forward and prepare to climb over the fence.

The two workers inside the fence were panicked, scrambling to light the small medicine bag and throw it from the top of the fence with all their might. The small medicine bag contained fifty grams of Nobel jelly, mixed with some broken iron nails. This thing Liang Hong made the native grenade before, and the modern grenade only emerged in 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War, and it was not in the list of weapons workshops.

The small medicine bag burning with the fuse fell to the ground, and the surrounding Griqua people didn't know why, but they all dodged and dodged.

Boom, there was an explosion, and the impact of gunpowder scattered in all directions with broken iron nails. Although it is not as large as the radius of the iron-shelled grenade, it still injured many people within four or five meters of the surrounding area. What's even more terrifying is that this thing is still being thrown out endlessly. The person who had been injured just now was still lying in a pool of blood and wailing, which added to the fear of the Griqua people for the small medicine kit. As a result, as soon as the medicine bag was thrown out, everyone scattered and ran away, and even watched the medicine bag twisted too long on the ground and then exploded.

Although there were not many more injuries, the attack of the Griqua people also stopped, and for a while, no one had the heart to climb over the fence, and they were all waiting for the moment when the small medicine bag was thrown away.
