They walked cautiously and did not say a word. Everything fell silent again. At this moment, there was a strange noise on the side of the road. The sound was very weak, it was just audible, it was a heavy raindrop, sliding down from the leaves, the sound of knocking on the metal, the sound of metal!

Liu Renyi crawled to the place where the sound came from. Reaching out and touching it for a while, suddenly, he touched the barrel of his rifle! The muzzle of the gun was stuffed with dirt. He tugged his fingers out, his heart pounding. His gun is at his side again!

At this time, it was as if there was a fire burning from the inside out of his boots, and in the boots was no longer a hot water bottle, but red coals burning in the campfire. But at this moment, he didn't care about thinking about this leg.

Liu Renyi's fingers trembled violently. He had never been so scared on the battlefield before, and he had never felt alone. He carefully wiped the barrel clean and picked it up.

Liu Renyi wanted to hide not far away, and he leaned down with difficulty, trying to move the injured leg over and take off his boots. There was a sharp pain, like a knife stabbing on it. He felt a bull's ear knife in the shaft of this boot, and he reached the tip of the knife into it and picked it hard. At this moment, the pain turned his internal organs upside down.

The other party estimated that it was only fifty or sixty feet away. Liu Renyi took off his boots and shook the blood inside to the ground. Before the blood could clot, it left a large puddle of blood on the ground.

Liu Renyi moved that leg. The bullet hit the calf, almost in the middle of the calf, probably touching the bone, maybe not broken. He tied them with the strings a little under his knee.

Footsteps approached. Liu Renyi stuffed the blood-stained leggings into his pocket and quietly crawled into the woods. While climbing. While brushing away the branches. I'm afraid of making a noise. He grabbed the grass with his left hand, grabbed the moss, moved the injured leg, and kicked back with the good leg, moving his body slowly forward. The rifle was in his right hand. Thanks to the rain, the land is soft, the branches are moist and pliable. He seemed to be crawling on a cotton mattress, and he didn't make a sound.

There was another sound of talking on the road.

"Here!" A voice shouted. "There's a horse here...... Nothing is anyone! ”

Liu Renyi took advantage of the time when they pondered the road. Climbed a long way again. He felt the trunk of a thick pine tree, and he got over it, and lay down, and finally had a barrier. The butt of the rifle was wet and cold, and he wiped the raindrops off it with his hand and began to check the gun.

"There's blood here! Go this way! Fireface was ordering, "Flash on both sides, get ready." Spread out! ”

"There's a big pool of blood!" Someone shouted.

"It's horse blood, isn't it?" The other asked, without waiting for an answer. I laughed out loud. It's a contrived laugh, and I'm emboldening myself. They burrow into the forest as adults. But I'm also afraid of this swarthy silent old forest.

"It's not the horse's blood, it's from him, and there's a whole puddle on the side!"

"Okay, you follow the pursuit, we'll be on the side, spread out of each other."

Liu Renyi wiped the barrel of the rifle clean and set it up, aiming the muzzle at the light not far away.

"Here, he's bleeding most of the bucket. Where else can you run? Climb a few more steps and you'll be back home! ”

"Where did the footprints go?" Fireface gave orders. Liu Renyi judged that he was the leader of this group, and eighty percent stood behind a big tree, hidden.

If this is the case, they are not the people sent by Huang Guilan and Zhang Xun to catch them, but they covet the reward of 10,000 taels of silver, and spontaneously ambush here to catch them!

Thinking that these traitors of the Black Flag Army were so ungrateful, Liu Renyi couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Looks like someone has crawled over here!"

Liu Renyi saw their figures leaving the avenue and pressed towards him little by little.

"Search, search!"

"Another beach!" Someone triumphantly said, "A puddle of blood!" ”

"Search, search!" The fire face came to the spirit, "Search quickly...... There's no way I can't beat him! ”

"Yes! We can't get him out of our hands! ”

They were a little bolder, and they opened their voices when they spoke, and the branches of the trees clanged. Two pools of blood - they knew exactly what that meant.

They walked a few more feet. Okay, come on, come on! You bastards! Let me send you back to your hometown! The leg hurt so badly that it didn't take long for me to feel better. Come on! Liu Renyi cursed in his heart and clenched the rifle in his hand.

Suddenly, several fires flashed in front of Liu Renyi, and with the piercing gunshots, the entire forest rumbled. The bark and leaves of the pine trees fell one after another, falling on his head. Then came the screams of Fireface and the others.

The gunfire stopped abruptly. The forest smelled of gunsmoke.

What's going on?

Liu Renyi was in shock, but suddenly saw a woman in gray looking at him not far away.

She wore a veil over her face, and she was wrapped in gray cloth clothes all over her body, but these still could not hide her pretty figure.

The scorching light of her eyes radiating in the darkness made Liu Renyi feel uneasy.

Because, these eyes reminded him of a person......

He tightened in his heart, couldn't help but raise the muzzle of the gun, aimed at the woman in gray in front of him, and pulled the trigger casually.

The woman in gray dodged suddenly, hid behind the tree, and Liu Renyi's shot was missed.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Liu Renyi regretted it - the gunshots would reveal where he was hiding now, and although he could be sure that the four of them were now dead, it was likely that they would still have companions nearby.

Liu Renyi shot a shot into the air, and suddenly found that the woman was extraordinary, and knew that something was wrong, just when he was hurriedly loading, the woman had rushed to his front, kicked the rifle in his hand away, and then the knife flashed, and a long knife stabbed straight down, nailing Liu Renyi's hand to the ground.

Liu Renyi hissed and screamed, and immediately attracted the companion of the woman in gray to come over.

"Liu Renyi! Sure enough, it's you! A man also dressed in gray said.

"I really didn't expect him to escape alone! Sure enough, he deserves to be the head of the Black Flag Army, and his escape kung fu is first-class. The other said sarcastically.

The woman stared at Liu Renyi for a while, and then pulled out her knife violently. Liu Renyi wailed and held his injured hand. Sit on the ground. There is no longer the majesty of the commander of the Black Flag Army.

A man stepped forward and was about to pick up Liu Renyi and tie him up, but when he saw Liu Renyi in tears, he trembled, paralyzed, and couldn't stand up.

"What's wrong with him?" A man in gray asked in surprise.

"I guess I'm a smoker." The woman in gray said coldly, leaned down, rummaged through Liu Renyi's backpack, and sure enough, found a lot of smoke bubbles in it. Of course, the three hundred taels of gold were also seen by her.

Liu Renyi felt the contempt of the people around him, but at this time, he was addicted to it, and he couldn't care about his face, "I'm tired of everyone, help me light a cigarette bubble and blow it...... Great Kindness...... Never forget ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he received a blow to the back of the head, and then he didn't know anything......

Zhang Xun never thought that he would fight such a battle with great disparity, and he also won.

It was also the first time he had seen such a fight.

With a force of 2,000 men, he attacked a fortified city defended by 30,000 men. It worked!

The entire battle was commanded by those instructors led by Qu Feipeng, and he and Qu Feipeng were just sitting on the wall and watching. But what he saw completely subverted his previous knowledge of war.

As soon as the battle began, the artillery of the "Jingwu Battalion" began to focus on bombarding the high ground outside Hanoi and the surrounding auxiliary positions, and the artillery of the rebel army in the city immediately returned fire, but not a single shell fell on the position of the Jingwu battalion, and then the artillery of the Jingwu battalion calmly knocked out the various artillery positions of the rebel army one by one and cut off one arm of the rebel army.

Before the attack, the Jingwu Battalion death squad tidied up for the last time, no one spoke, not even made a sound, and everyone felt the restlessness and uneasiness before the big battle in silence.

Under the cover of artillery fire, the death squads rushed to the high ground without any casualties, they did not enter the tunnel, but dragged one long bamboo tube after another filled with thunder powder over the junction of the high ground, they crawled towards the attack position, one after another, head on heel, heel on straw hat, step by step closer and closer to the point of artillery fire, the shock wave from a few shells stirred everyone's hearts to their throats.

The death squad was lurking, and the attacking troops entered the designated position, just waiting for the night to come.

At night, the mountain in the dark night lost the splendor of the explosion and was immersed in a dead silence and thick ink, the death squad was only a hundred feet away from the position of the rebels at most, and in front of it was a whole open field artificially opened up by the rebels, without shelter and without undulations, if they attacked it during the day, the attacking troops would definitely be killed on this overflowing slope of death. That's why the instructors deliberated and decided to launch a night attack.

The mountains were silent, and the final launch of the attack was still in the hands of the diminutive instructor named "Lin Yongyuan", and the soldiers waited anxiously for the last moment.

Finally, the time came, and the artillery of the artillery corps began to bombard.

The cannons used by the Jingwu battalion are all of Huang Guilan's inventory, in order to eliminate the rebels occupying Hanoi City, Huang Guilan can be said to have spent a lot of money, and even did not hesitate to arrest Zhao Wo, and grabbed all the cannons that Zhao Woxin wanted from Xu Yanxu and transported them to the Jingwu battalion.

In addition to the cannon, almost all the various rockets were also collected for Huang Guilan.

At the same time as the shelling, a large number of Hale rockets also began to fire in a volley, turning the high ground into a raging fire, and after a quarter of an hour, the shelling extended to the rear depth, at which point the elite battalion did not charge, and according to the plan, after a quarter of an hour the artillery team would carry out a second powerful bombardment. After the shelling, the high ground guarded by the rebel army was completely shrouded in gray smoke and dust, and the spectacular shelling burned people's minds, and the soldiers of the Jingwu battalion were looking forward to the charge, the rain of bullets, and the flying of flesh and blood!

For them, such a battle is called a joy, and the reward after the war will be extraordinarily rich.

Thinking of the rain of bullets, the rain of bullets really came, the sound of gunfire from the position of the chaotic soldiers in the thick smoke, it was some earthen guns, sparse bullets rambling to hit the mountains near the left, this is the rebels are emboldening themselves, and did not cause too much danger to the lurking death squad, a quarter of an hour later, when the second round of shelling of the Jingwu battalion began, the shells slammed down across the night sky, the rebels hurriedly stopped shooting aimlessly.

The second round of shelling continued for another quarter of an hour, and before the sound of the artillery could stop, a violent explosion caused by the death squads blasted several walls of fire at the front of the rebel positions. And rockets like dragons. dragged a long tail flame and plunged headlong into the chaotic army position in the smoke of gunpowder.

When the daredevils jumped up. There was still no resistance to the guns of the rebel positions, and perhaps the heavy shelling had already blasted them into fools. One by one, the daredevils rushed forward, closer, closer, and they were about to rush into the layer of gunpowder that the wind did not disperse; Zhang Xun's heart was extremely nervous, the victory seemed to come too easily, and he was almost about to shout! At this time, "Boom! "A blast, a shockwave. Rubble, clods of earth and something else flew up, the explosion came from the left, was it shelling, or was it a mine? The daredevils didn't have time to tell the difference, the dead died like this, and the living had to continue to charge. Another explosion, this time in front of Zhang Xun's eyes, in his sight: first a puff of black smoke rose from the soles of a daredevil's feet, followed by a dull explosion. The daredevils were gone, and Zhang Xun still couldn't believe what he had witnessed. That smoke, that fire, that gust of wind, is what takes away a person's life!

The gunshots finally rang out, or the sound of some foreign guns, and a rain of bullets fell around the daredevils from time to time, but they couldn't feel the breath of death, maybe everyone in this place would have a fearless mood. The counterattack of the rebels began to become fierce, and from time to time there were earthen guns and guns that joined in the shooting of the death squads, and the smoke was still so thick that all the eyes could see except for the flickering fire at the muzzle of the guns was all kinds of bullets flying around with fire drills in all directions. From time to time, there was a short and dense explosion sound in the gunsmoke, which was the thunder flame bomb thrown by the daredevils, and in the continuous explosion, the firepower of the rebels fell for a while and was fierce for a while, Zhang Xun knew that their spirit and body were under untold blows and pressure, and gradually collapsed, towards the final death.

The rebels fired from time to time, but they were all firing from earthen artillery, and the sound of the artillery continued, but it was not dense and ferocious at all, and the artillery team of the Jingwu battalion used artillery to effectively suppress the rebel artillery. The gunfire continued, not only intensively but also more intensely, because the daredevils had already stormed and stormed the enemy's trenches! A daredevils jumped into the first trench of the rebels with a bamboo blaster, the target that had already been found had been blown up by the rocket, he searched back and forth for a while and was stunned for a while and did not find a place to place the blaster, the firepower of the main position of the rebels was extremely fierce to hit the trench occupied by the daredevils, from time to time there were soldiers who were hit by bullets, the daredevils threw thunder bombs, and the soldiers of the Black Flag Army in the chaos used a bamboo tube filled with thunder medicine to shoot back, both sides were thrown around like hailstones, and the explosion made people breathless.

Zhang Xun stared at a dark bunker on the flank of the rebels, he knew that the daredevils were going to blow it up and tear it apart, his body was tightly attached to the ground, and he couldn't wait to bury half of his body in the hard mountain, perhaps because the fierce sparks and white smoke from the muzzle affected the shooting boundary, and the rebel soldiers never found him, which made him calmly crawl forward to the side of the bunker

He lit the bamboo blaster and threw it into the enemy's bunker with all his might, shattering them in an instant with the light of fire and explosion.

Zhang Xun saw that the person was instantly buried by countless broken stones and broken wood with flesh and blood, but he broke free of everything that pressed his body in an instant, and then Zhang Xun saw a rebellious soldier lying in the dark holding a foreign gun, aiming at that person, and his heart suddenly tightened.

He really didn't want to see that heroic man die like this.

"Bang!" A sharp gunshot shook Zhang Xun's ears, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the head of the rebellious soldier who wanted to shoot a cold gun suddenly bloom, he turned his head sharply and saw Qu Feipeng put down the large foreign gun with a silver gland mirror in his hand.

"General Zhang has never seen such a style of play, has he?" Qu Feipeng saw the look of shock on Zhang Xun's face, smiled slightly, and asked.

"I've never seen it, I've never heard of it...... Zhang Xun muttered, his eyes turned back to the battlefield, and the daredevils had already rushed into the smoke and disappeared.

"Me too." Qu Feipeng turned his head and said, "According to Instructor Lin Sen, when Lord Lin led the Satsuma Army in Japan against the Russian army, it was like this. And this tactic is all due to the teaching of Lord Lin. ”

Hearing Qu Feipeng say that the tactics taught by those instructors to the Jingwu Battalion were actually from Lin Yiqing, Zhang Xun was shocked for a while.

"The high ground has been taken, and the next thing is to go to the 'conscience cannon'." Qu Feipeng noticed that some soldiers of the Jingwu Battalion were transporting short and thick iron cylinder-like things with wheels to the high ground, and he smiled and raised his hands and covered his ears.

"It's best for General Zhang to be like me, cover his ears and open his mouth wide," Qu Feipeng said with a smile, "This thing is moving too much, and General Zhang Shen is careful to hurt his ears." ”

Zhang Xun noticed that the people around Qu Feipeng were also acting like him, and he didn't know what to do for a while, but he still did it.

The gunners who operated the "unconscionable cannons" communicated with each other with hand gestures, and soon set up the cannons, at which time the daredevils retreated into the tunnels or crouched in the trenches, and they all covered their ears one by one.

Zhang Xun stared intently ahead, and saw a gunner open the box, take a thing with a long wooden pole like a bundled quilt, stuff it into the "barrel", and then retreated.

After a while, I saw the things in the barrel of the cannon fly out one by one and fall towards the chaotic position below the high ground.

The moment those things landed, dazzling red lights flashed, making Zhang Xun immediately close his eyes.

There was a huge earthquake under his feet in an instant, and Zhang Xun felt that his body was shaking as if he was about to jump. (To be continued.) )
