The family of Ferdo Ivanovich Woodvich was a small aristocrat of Tsarist Russia, loyal to the royal family, especially the current Tsar - Alexander II. In his mind, the current Tsar is the king of the empire, and under his leadership, the entire empire will surpass the European powers and become the lord of the world. Ferdo was originally a naval officer in Vladivostok, but was later assigned by his superiors to Qinglonggou in the east of Haicheng to take a batch of munitions, along with a hundred of his men. The mission was expected to last only three months, but it turned out strangely that the Qing man who was supposed to appear more than a year ago never showed up for unknown reasons. After many inquiries about the news, there is still no news, as if a stone has sunk into the sea.

"Damn the Qing people! A bunch of shitty idiots! "Ferdo has been in a bad mood lately, thinking that he would be able to complete his mission and return to China before the end of the year, and then he could go to St. Petersburg to meet his fiancée Galeva, but he was left here. The above meaning is very clear, he is in charge of the overall situation of Qinglonggou, while recruiting nearby bandit armies and accumulating strength, while collecting intelligence and obtaining the deployment of Qing troops. Once the empire was going to make a move on the northeast of the Qing state, they could become a surprise army.

Fengtian is vast and sparsely populated, and these Russians are ambushed here, but they are still not discovered.

At this time, Ferdo's eyes were red and pressed against a snatched Qing woman, the woman was still crying, but Ferdo was very excited, and his mouth yelled from time to time.

At this moment, I heard someone slamming on the door.

Ferdo scolded and said, "Damn, who is it?" ”

"Captain, our camp has been attacked!" The adjutant reported anxiously.

Ferdo didn't react for a moment, "Attacked? ”

"Yes, Captain!"

"Huh, attacked? That's great! ”

The adjutant felt that his commander must have gone mad, and he was even happy that the camp had been attacked.

"Zyuganov, gather my dear soldiers at once, I want to see who is so ignorant of life and death that dares to provoke us!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Ferdo threw the Qing woman into the kang, then got up and put on his military uniform.

At this time, it was dawn, Zheng Haitao and his men first cleaned up the bright and dark posts and mobile posts near Qinglonggou, and then launched a sneak attack on the Gatling machine gun positions on both sides of the mountain pass, but the result was ice and fire, the sneak attack on the left side was very smooth, all twelve guards were killed, and the Gatling machine guns were also well preserved. However, the sneak attack on the right side was unlucky, and one of the team members accidentally stepped on a rock, which immediately aroused the alarm of the guards above, and they did not hesitate to attack. The entire sneak attack team was suppressed in a corner, and it was very aggrieved that they couldn't go up or down.

Xiang Long did not hesitate, and directly ordered the mortar troops to attack, and two rounds of shells went down, and the Gatling machine gun on the right side was sent into the sky along with the guards.

However, at this time, the Russians and bandits in Qinglonggou also heard the sound of gunfire, and after a period of confusion, the team finally began to assemble.

Wang Yi was sitting behind Chief of Staff Wu Xiao at this time, with a black box beside him.

"You command here, I'll take a look."

"This ......" Wu Xiao wanted to stop it.

"What is this, this ......" was directly scolded back by Wang Yi. He is the biggest official here, who dares to care about her.

The sky was already bright, and the insurance team, under the command of Xiang Long, had already begun to attack the entrance of Qinglonggou. It was a high wall of earth and rock, reinforced by wooden stakes on both sides, with an average height of about four meters, and a group of bandits were firing back at the firing port.

"Although I have read the intelligence, I didn't expect the defense here to be so tight." Wu Xiao stood beside Xiang Long, observing the situation on the battlefield. "In addition, we don't have enough guns, only about a hundred guns."

"If it weren't for the mortar brought by the captain, this battle really wouldn't have been fought." Xiang Long immediately sneered and said, "But now...... Let the mortar team hit me with a base number of shells against the wall! ”

"Yes!" The herald ran out at this point.

The bandits were shooting at the insurance team, and at first they thought that the officers and soldiers were coming to encircle and suppress them, but when they saw the other party's outfit, long clothes and trousers, and strange steel helmets. So the fear in his heart was greatly reduced, but he also played a momentum.

At this moment, they heard a strange sound in the sky, and when the Russian commander and the bandits looked up, mortar shells fell one after another. The successive explosions, the flying shrapnel, and the fact that the limbs of the companions were broken and the flesh and blood were blurred, such a terrifying scene immediately plunged the bandits into chaos. It's okay not to run, but it's faster to die if you run. After the fifth round of shelling, the wooden door on the front was blown up.

"Blow the trumpet! Order the spear and broadsword teams, in conjunction with the musket team, to charge and take down the outer earthen wall. "Xiang Long issued the order." Order the mortar team to shoot in the Qinglong ditch! ”

Wu Xiao stood behind him at this time and said with a smile: "How about it, want to rush out by yourself?" ”

Xiang Long smiled and shook his head.

As soon as Ferdo led his men to assemble the team, the outer earthen wall had already been lost, and many bandits retreated to the interior of Qinglong Ditch. Fearing that they would break his formation, Ferdo did not hesitate to give the order to attack, and bursts of gunfire rang out, and the bandits, who were not killed by mortar shells, fell in pieces under the guns of the Russians like a wave of wheat in the wind. Later, under the leadership of the bandit leader, they did not attack the Russian formation again, and gradually gathered on both flanks.

Wang Yi and eight guards hid on a nearby hill, holding binoculars in their hands, observing the exchange of fire between the two sides.

"I didn't expect these Russians to be quite capable, they didn't let the bandits scatter their team, it seems that if the little master doesn't make a move, Xiang Long and they will be very troublesome."

Saying that, Wang Yi opened the black box next to him, and under the curious gaze of the guards, he quickly assembled a spear with an extremely strange style.

"Captain...... What kind of gun is this? Big enough! ”

"It's a sniper rifle, look at me!"

This is a Type 88 sniper rifle, and there was originally a better Type 09 sniper rifle in Wang Yi's hand, but that gun was still too heavy for Wang Yi. That's why I retreated to the next best thing and chose the 88 style.

Because he had already taken the outer earthen wall, out of caution, Xiang Long did not let the team charge. Standing on the earthen wall, he had already discovered the team assembled by the Russians at this time, and he regretted it somewhat in his heart, if he had ordered the horse team to attack just now, he might have achieved greater results. But it's useless to think about it now!

Wu Xiao was standing behind Xiang Long at this time, looked at the Russians in the distance, and thought for a moment before saying, "It seems that what the captain said is really right, the Russians have not yet understood that it is now the era of rear-loading rifled guns." ”

Xiang Long nodded and said, "You're right, they're still playing with the platoon gun, after Haitao transports the Gatling machine gun down for a while, let's block the Russian devils and these traitors and bandits in Qinglong Ditch and exterminate them!" ”

As the two spoke, Ferdo had begun to direct his men to attack. After the platoon gun rang out, smoke erupted. Ferdo brandished a saber in his hand, commanded the team, and shouted: "Warriors, look at those Qing cowards, they don't even dare to come down from the earthen wall!" Call me and let these stupid and diminutive Qing people understand that even if there are only a hundred of us, it will be enough to sweep the whole of Fengtian! ”

The insurance team was all taught by Wang Yi, not to mention that they couldn't understand Russian, even if they did, they wouldn't stupidly run out to fight with the Russians in a platoon battle, and then fight with bayonets.

Of course, Ferdo is not stupid, and he is not crazy enough to let his soldiers really attack the earthen wall. At this time, Adjutant Zyuganov said: "Captain, it is better for us to take out the Gatling machine gun that is ready to be delivered to the Qing people and use it, otherwise it is very unwise to rush over so directly." ”

Ferdo nodded and said, "You're right, the lives of the soldiers are far more important than the promises made to the Qing people. ”

Xiang Long waited on the earthen wall for a long time, but Zheng Haitao's Gatling machine guns were not seen, but he waited for the Russians' own two machine guns. At this point, the insurance team immediately fell into passivity, and the Russians' bullets flew wildly like water, and gradually began to advance in the direction of the earthen wall.

"Grandma, what is Lao Zheng doing!" Xiang Long complained.

When Wu Xiao saw it, he was also very anxious, and said: "Longzi, if it goes on like this, the army's heart will be scattered by the enemy!" Let's bomb it with mortars! ”

Xiang Long didn't want to do this, but the artillery regiment had only been training with live ammunition for more than two weeks so far, and it was just that accurate, if it was prepared in advance, it would be okay to hit a fixed target that was large enough. If you hit the moving military formation, I'm afraid that before the gunners finished calculating the direction, everyone would have already gone up to the earthen wall.

"Mortar attack!"

Ferdo was startled by the sudden explosion, but later found that the shell seemed to be avoiding them, so he relieved himself and laughed at the adjutant: "This Qing people are really stupid enough, if we go faster, this shell can fall on their own positions." ”

The Russian soldiers also laughed when they heard this, but at this moment, something strange happened, and the commander Ferdo did not know what evil he had collided with, and he was shocked back by something. When he looked at it again, his chest was already soaked with blood, and the man fell to the ground and completely lost his breath.

Before the lieutenant could react, the same doom befell him, followed by more than a dozen men in charge of the two Gatling cannons.

On the earthen wall, Xiang Long also felt that today's victory was too abrupt, but seeing that the Russians were already in chaos, he no longer hesitated and launched the final attack.

All the people who participated in the battle today were not as surprised as the eight guards on Wang Yi's side, and at a distance of about five or six hundred meters, although they did not miss a shot, the hit rate was really terrifying, not to mention that this shot could be fired continuously. In addition, the Type 88 uses smokeless ammunition and has a small gunfire. In the chaos and noisy battlefield, it is really difficult to find it.

Although the guns of this era could also hit such long distances, with the exception of a few types, most of the guns had a frighteningly large dispersion circle. It's okay if you don't aim, but if you want to aim, you really can't hit it.
