Outside Huayin County, Zhao Guanhou rode his big white horse and circled the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The swordsmen at the head of the city are all huge bandits who have accumulated years. It can be seen that the distance is very far now, and there is no point in shooting, but it is empty ammunition, so he can only watch the terrain. Walking with him was Hannah, dressed in a mink fur and carrying a gun behind her back.

She has traveled in Taixi for several years, and she has to explore geology, all kinds of dangerous mountains and rivers, all of which have to trek in person, and she has endured some hardships and cultivated extraordinary adaptability. Coupled with the thick leather coat, the cold was nothing to her.

"You should bring your wife with you, she must be more than willing, ride with you, and observe the military together."

"You're right, she must be very willing, but others should be willing. You know, maintaining balance is a very technical job, and she is too popular now, and she needs to be pressed, otherwise it will not be good for her. Furthermore, she is a standard traditional Chinese woman with the good character of an Oriental woman. For example, tolerance, which is what she must have, no matter what she thinks in her heart, at least on the surface, she will support all my decisions, and she will not be jealous of all the female members of the family. Like this kind of opportunity, she should give it to others to show her generosity. ”

"It doesn't sound good at all, really, I just feel sorry for her." Hannah said as she used her spurs to urge her mount, trying to overtake Zhao, but Zhao's riding skills were above her, and the two kept walking side by side.

Since the battle at Tongguan Station, Cheng Yue's status in the inner house has been improved by a breakthrough, and she has also changed her past practices, following Sun Meiyao's example, and wearing a military uniform for herself. Sun Meiyao commanded the cavalry brigade, and the two regiments of the Huai Army she brought were organized into a brigade, and Cheng Yue temporarily acted as the brigade commander. Although she does not have a military rank, and even the brigade commander is recognized by Lu Jun himself, and is not recognized by the War Department, she can still attend high-level military meetings.

It's just that her status when she was in a meeting was like a senior secretary, with a hand stove and clothes, and after she sat down, she only looked at Zhao Guanhou. When you need to use tea, you pour it, and when you feel it cold, you send it to the stove.

These performances make her unable to be equated with an excellent soldier, but she reveals a message all the time: she is a good wife and mother. And the handsome accepted all of this kindness without any reprimand, which also shows that the relationship between the two people has become quite close. Cheng Yue has gone from a wife as black as coal to gradually turning red.

Hannah has a complicated mood for this change, feeling pity for Cheng Yue, but also a lot of unwillingness in her heart. is like this kind of letting go of horses and watching the formation, which is a special dating method that Zhao Guanhou came up with specifically to relieve her boredom.

After running around the city twice, Hannah stopped her mount, looked at Zhao Guanhou and said, "The Shaanxi rebels have begun to move, I think you should have received the news." There are two troops, ready to cooperate with the trapped forces in the city, and conduct a joint operation against you, just like the last time. These people don't know whether to call them brave or stupid. I've failed once, but I want to do it again. ”

"This kind of thing, it can only be said that they have figured it out." Zhao Guanhou took off his rifle on his horse and aimed at the head of the city, and the people's army at the head of the city would not be nervous because of this kind of comparison. If you can't hit the other party, the other party will naturally not be able to hit you.

"If they don't save Guo Jian, they can only be broken by each one. If you concentrate your efforts, you will at least have a chance to fight. There is no way to do this kind of thing, either surrender or fight. In a battle, it is natural that the more soldiers the better, and the stronger the strength, the better. It makes sense for them to join forces. But...... If you want to help Guo Jian, you should first see if your strength is enough. ”

Zhao Guanhou pointed at the city with his finger, "You said that I killed a few of them like this every day, what would happen to them." Do you have to come out and fight me, or wait to be hunted by me? ”

Hannah estimated the distance and shook her head, "This can't be." Even the Mini rifle does not reach the range. And it's very windy, and there is no way to guarantee a hit for a good shooter. We can stand here and talk precisely because the range is not up to it, and if you can shoot them, now we are covered by the other side's bullets. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Then let's make a bet, I'll kill that officer, you see, it's the guy in the leather jacket." ”

He pointed to the head of the city, which was the commander of the Nationalist Army, wearing an old sheepskin jacket, which was very different from the ordinary minions in cotton robes.

"I hit him, and you accept my pursuit, how about it. If you don't hit, I'll stop pursuing you. ”

"Hey, you're going crazy."

Zhao Guanhou ignored what Hannah said, his legs clamped the horse's belly violently, and the white horse sprinted towards the city wall, and the guards didn't care at first, after all, one person would not have any impact on the city. But it seemed that the people were getting closer and closer, but they couldn't help but raise their guns.

Although I don't know what crazy this guy is, no one will let go of the credit sent to the door, and if he can kill the other party's highest commander, this is a blessing from God.

Not a regular army after all. Since they didn't expect Zhao Guanhou to come to charge the formation alone, they did not prepare for shooting before. At this time, they hurriedly raised their guns, and some people even had to temporarily load ammunition into the guns, tamping them, and they were in a hurry.

At first, Hannah only thought that Zhao Guanhou was joking, but seeing that he did rush towards the city, he shouted anxiously, "Come back!" You lunatic! We can talk and ...... in other ways."

At this time, Zhao Guanhou was getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the minions on the city head shouted, beckoning his own good gunners. Some minions raised their guns and hurriedly pulled down the bolts, but the distance was too far, and as soon as the projectile was fired, it was affected by the strong wind, and they didn't know where it was going.

The commander in the leather jacket, who was also a well-known archer in the People's Army, took a spear from his subordinates and poked his head out to aim at Zhao Guanhou. As a veteran bandit for many years, he is not as frizzy as his subordinates. It takes a long time to shoot and reload, there is only one chance, just one shot, and it is enough.

His eyes narrowed into a line, and his fingers were already in the position of the bolt, but just as his hand was about to pull the bolt. The Mini gun in Zhao Guanhou's hand had already gone off.

A crisp gunshot rang out. The sound of the new Prussian-made Minnie gun was completely different from the rifle used by the Nationalist Army. Accompanied by the crisp and melodious sound of gunfire, the back of the head of the civilian army commander exploded into a cloud of blood mist. His body shook on the top of the city, and then he fell from the battlement to the bottom of the city.

The gunfire on the head of the city suddenly sounded like bursting beans, and the angry people's army, regardless of whether they could be hit or not, shot at Zhao Guanhou purely for the purpose of revenge. The white horse circle turned the horse's head and ran towards Hannah, who stood nervously on the horse, subconsciously crossed her chest with both hands, stunned, watching everything that happened. She was praying, willing to trade everything she had for the safety of her knights.

Zhao Guanhou's body seemed to tremble violently, and then disappeared from the horse.

"No!" Hannah let out a scream, then went crazy and rushed towards Zhao Guanhou. If...... If he was really shot, how would he face all this? Leaving the motherland and stepping on the land of the East, isn't it just to be with him? He...... He won't leave himself like this, we've just been close to each other, and nothing else has done it yet, so he can't die like this...... If you want to die, then you should also die together, let this bullet rain cover both of you.

Behind him, the soldiers of the Lu army also began to shoot at the head of the city. Inside the city, soldiers have already begun to mobilize, ready to go out of the city to grab the body of the sacrificial general. The Lu army outside the city shouted "Artillery! Where did the artillery die! Medic Preparation! ”

Hannah's mount had already come to Zhao Guanhou's white horse, and Hannah grabbed the reins, regardless of whether she might be shot or not, nervously searching for Zhao Guanhou's traces.

She was sure that the person did not fall on the road, at least on the way, she could not see the shadow of Zhao Guanhou. The most feared thing is that the person is shot, but the foot is still hanging in the kick, the road is bumpy, the person is rubbed against the ground by the stone, it will become a blur of flesh and blood, and it is extremely miserable. Hannah's heart had already shrunk into a ball, and she was afraid that what she saw was the person she had just talked and laughed with, and in the blink of an eye, she would become a bloody corpse.

The mist had covered her eyes, blurring her vision, and she could see her feet, feet clinging to her horses' shoes. …… No! Don't be like this......

"You've done what you promised...... I can promise you anything, as long as you live......"

Hannah couldn't help but shout loudly, she didn't think that this kind of shouting could change some facts, but at least it could make her heart better. She searched around, searching for her body that was destined to become mutilated. She will be like a wife, tidy up his face, wipe his body, send him to heaven, and then go with her.

"That's what you said, you can't go back!" Hannah's eyes flickered, and then the whole person was embraced by a pair of strong arms, and from his mount, he was lifted to the white horse. She was not allowed to resist, and her lips were savagely occupied.

After a long time, the two separated, and Zhao Guanhou wiped away the tears on her face with a smile, "The Prussian girl should also speak, right, what she promised me, you can't go back!" ”

"Scoundrel! Knave! Hannah struggled in his arms in protest, but it was obviously in vain, and she could only accept his grasping, and finally reminded: "Now...... Now is not the time, you should be with your troops. ”

The troops inside the city had already slaughtered it, seized the body of their commander, and fought the besieging forces outside the city. In charge of this section of the encirclement, there were two companies of the Lu army, plus one artillery company.

There weren't too many troops rushing out of the city, but the morale was very strong. The Lu army obstructed the troops who seized the corpses, regarded the combat effectiveness of the people's army as too poor, and a company was out of touch with the troops in the rear, blindly killing them, and as a result, they fell into encirclement.

The People's Army rarely took advantage of the Lu Army, and of course it was impossible to let it go. Several Hongyi general cannons on the head of the city removed their armor and began to ignite and fire. The head of the city and the city formed a cross fire, trying to eat this company. The company commander of the Lu army was also a very stubborn character, and he took the body of the commander of the Shaanxi army and refused to retreat. Ordered the troops to organize a defense on the spot and fought a defensive battle with the attacking civilian army.

His idea is also very simple, he has tens of thousands of soldiers behind him, and it is impossible to throw his company here. If you retreat, then you have responsibility, and if you persist, you will have military merits.

As he expected, the Lu army naturally could not give up a company that was swallowed, and the twelve-pounder guns of the artillery company began to fire grenades at the civilian army outside the city regardless of the cost. Even a company of the People's Army, before it had time to join the battle group, was hit by a round of artillery and lost its combat effectiveness. The rest of the artillery also began to suppress the artillery fire at the head of the city, and two companies of the Lu army launched a fierce charge to try to break the siege.

In the city, the troops of the People's Army also learned that the dead body of their chief officer had been taken, so some soldiers did not need to mobilize, and spontaneously took guns out of the city to participate in the battle. These people are good at fighting bad battles, so the formation of the troops out of the city is chaotic, and there is no clear commander, most of them are in a state of fighting on their own, but they are very lively.

Zhao Guanhou took the opportunity of Hannah's crying to warm up with her for a while, only to find out that his shot actually provoked a big basket, which seemed to kill a popular general of the People's Army, causing the swordsmen to rush out like crazy. On the contrary, the side did not prepare for such a large-scale field battle, and now all the people engaged in the battle are company-based, and the battle is a stalemate.

Even the artillerymen did not dare to open fire for fear of accidentally injuring their allies, but so did the artillery at the head of the city, and the god of war fell silent at the same time. The Lu army, which had lost the cover of artillery, was in a dilemma in the face of the desperate charge of the swordsmen, and it was never able to open the passage, and the trapped troops could not be rescued.

He shook his head, "It's too slack." This is not good, if you fight like this, you may really suffer if you are not careful. It seems that the enemy's formation of a coalition force must also let the subordinates know, increase vigilance, and give me enough mental heads. If the rabble can't eat it, what will happen to the big things in the future! Gather your troops and prepare to attack! ”

Fortunately, Zhao Guanhou's appeal is that with him on the battlefield, the besieging troops in all aspects have left enough mobile troops to be ready to rescue them at any time. When the order was given, Sun Meiyao personally rushed up with a cavalry battalion, followed by an infantry battalion by Wang Bincheng and a cavalry company by Long Yangjian.

The superior forces formed a formation and pressed up according to the main attack method they were best at, and the swordsmen finally couldn't resist it, and they put their guns in a burst of indiscriminate manner, and retreated into the city. And the encircled Lu army company, at this time the combat troops, there was less than a platoon left.

The losses of the swordsmen were a little greater, and the corpses on the battlefield had exceeded three hundred. If you count the color number, Zhao Guanhou's shot caused a total of nearly 1,000 casualties on both sides.

The security at the head of the city was tighter, and the besieging side also increased its vigilance, not daring to slack off as before. Zhao Guanhou issued an order to surround the troops at each gate, and at least one battalion should remain mobile and be pulled out for field combat at any time, so as not to be attacked by others. As for the company commander of the Lu Army who committed the crime, he had no merit or fault, no reward or punishment, and no disposition.

When she returned to the camp, Cheng Yue had already boiled a pot of bird's nest porridge and sent it. She didn't seem to know anything about her husband taking Hannah out on a date, and even sparked a skirmish, and tried to put on a smiling face, as she did in the past. Zhao Guanhou smiled at her, she was flattered and didn't know what to do, and asked cautiously, "Concubine...... The concubine has a pair of red agate earrings, which are the relics of Lafayette, and they were given to the concubine by ten grids. The ...... Miss Prussia if you like...... You can give her ......."

Without waiting for Zhao Guanhou to answer, Gao Sheng walked in outside, "Report to the commander, a few Tiele people want to see you." The leader is a girl, who said that she is an old acquaintance with you. (To be continued.) )
