The northeast in the summer is not cooler than the summer in the south, Hua Zhenji once again excused the buttons on the collar, trying to make himself cooler, as a senior officer, he already wanted to bare his chest and back a little regardless of military etiquette, but Lu Shuanggun next to him was still dressed tightly, although there was obvious slight sweat on his forehead, but there was no excuse for the neckline.

This Lu Shuanggun was born as a bandit, according to common sense, he should be a more rough and unruly bandit leader, and he should be a rough man who eats meat, drinks a big bowl, and talks foul all day long, but maybe he was like this before, but now Lu Shuanggun can't see from the surface that he used to be a bandit leader.

Why? I still thought that in terms of his identity as a bandit leader, although no one else said it, he could still feel that those officers from the third town had contempt for him. And after mixing the system in the third town for more than half a year, Lu Shuanggun can be said to have seen what is called the new army and what is called power.

And because Zhao Dongyun used him a lot, especially after he was promoted to the battalion manager of the Jinzhou Patrol Battalion Cavalry Team, on the one hand, he was grateful to Zhao Dongyun for his reuse, and on the other hand, he didn't miss the life of a bandit anymore, and he didn't even like to hear others talk about what he did before.

In some details, such as some military salutes, he is even a little demanding, which is more important than Hua Zhenji, an officer from a professional class.

People are so strange, the more people who are not from traditional backgrounds always try harder to pursue those traditions, because people from traditional backgrounds will not realize that all their traditions are coveted by others.

Hua Zhenji unbuttoned and said: "According to Li Xiantang's urgent report, it can already be preliminarily determined that nine times out of ten those people are Jin Chengfu or Wang Xiaobraid's people, that is, the group of people who robbed our army's ordnance in a row!" ”

"Those people are not small enough to dare to ambush us!" Hua Zhenji did not flee from these bandits, but dared to ambush one of his subordinate cavalry teams, and looked extremely surprised and shocked.

Lu Shuanggun on the side was unimpressed: "This is not the first time that this group of men and horses has ambushed us, they ambushed my transport team last month, and after two consecutive successes, this time they can be bold enough to ambush me again, and it is naturally not a strange thing!" ”

"Hmph, this time there are more than thirty of them left, I want to see if they still have the courage to ambush again!" Hua Zhenji was only surprised by the ambush of these bandits, but he didn't feel much worry.

Yesterday, a cavalry team under his command was raided by Wang Xiaobraid, but Li Xiantang, a young military academy who led the team, did not turn around and run, but took the initiative to meet the battle, and gave up the dismount and foot combat with great boldness, and used the horse to carry out a counter-charge.

At that time, when the more than 200 bandits roaring over saw that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side did not use their cavalry guns to conduct defensive operations, but instead brandished their sabers and launched a counter-charge, they suddenly frightened those bandits into stupidity.

Now it's not the Napoleonic Wars, whether it's bandits or the cavalry of the regular army, but there are not many people who play cavalry charging anymore, according to the imagination of those bandits, they stealthily approach the officer army of only about 50 people, and then use horses to quickly approach and release guns.

In this way, the officers and soldiers either turn around and run away, or dismount and put guns to resist, no matter what kind of reaction the officers and soldiers make, these bandits have a way to deal with it, if the opposite side is scattered, they will pursue it behind, if the original dismount resists, it is better, they can use the number of people to carry out assaults from many sides, and they can always find loopholes to kill.

But they didn't expect that the officers and soldiers on the other side dared to play counter-charge, and when they charged, they didn't shoot on horses, but they all brandished sabers that could brighten their eyes.

You must know that at that time, although these bandits said that they could each have a gun, to be honest, only part of them had sabers, which were Cold War weapons.

In addition, the time was extremely short, and when the cavalry troops on both sides rushed in at high speed, although at the beginning, a few of those bandits who were skilled in riding played with only their legs to control their horses, and raised their guns with both hands to shoot, but there were not many bandits with such superb riding skills, and they didn't want to hit at all on horses galloping at high speed.

At that time, because they were in high-speed movement, they didn't want to stop and shoot to block, but after the two sides rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters, the bandits in front finally collapsed.

But when they looked at the more than fifty Beiyang cavalry on the opposite side lined up in a neat charging formation, brandishing their sabers and charging towards them, they didn't have the courage to directly crash into them and send them to death.

As a result, when the two sides were 100 meters apart, the first dozen bandits turned their horses' heads in unison, trying to go around from the right side, and when they turned, the bandits following behind naturally turned their horses' heads in unison.

Obviously, these bandits have obviously not learned how to play cavalry combat, otherwise they would know that in this situation, the best way to survive is to continue to rush forward, anyway, they are large enough, as long as they speed up and rush through the opponent's formation, then not to mention the victory or defeat, at least their lives are saved.

It's a pity they didn't know, so they temporarily turned the horse's head!

And in this way, when the horses under the high-speed gallop make a sharp turn, not only Yan zhòng affects the galloping speed of the war horse, but also Yan zhòng disrupts their formation, when the leading bandit under the crotch of the war horse does not know whether to step on the stone or what, all of a sudden is to let the war horse a tumble, the war horse did not arrive, but let only the legs control the horse, one hand pistol, the other hand of the saber He was rolled down, he fell, the bandit knight behind could not dodge, The hooves of the war horse directly crushed his head.

In the face of the bandits who had turned around and ran, but the speed had slowed down significantly, Li Xiantang's more than fifty cavalry were like wolves entering the flock, and at the same time, dozens of sabers were pointing at their respective targets, just less than three minutes, and when Li Xiantang's cavalry troops rushed out from the other end of the bandits, the bandits behind them were already full of corpses!

When those bandits who were still alive saw that Li Xiantang had already turned the horse's head, lightly pinched the horse's belly again, and rushed over again brandishing the saber that was already stained with blood, those bandits dared to have other ideas, and they were all desperately urging the war horse to flee for their lives.

In this battle, it was only less than five minutes before and after, but more than 10 people were trampled to death and hacked to death by Wang Xiaobraid and Jin Wanfu, and more than 20 bandits were injured......

Although Li Xiantang's cavalry team won a great victory, it also paid the price of two killed and seven wounded.

"Li Xiantang was able to decisively abandon foot combat and launch a counter-charge in the face of the enemy's surprise attack, not only winning more with less, but also causing the enemy's losses far superior to his own, which is still commendable." Hua Zhenji did not hide his admiration for his subordinates, Li Xiantang was a member of his first battalion, and the victory in this battle naturally had his share of credit.

"Now Jin Wanfu and they have been forced back to the north, but they will definitely not sit still, the next thing we have to do is to prevent them from escaping on a large scale, it's okay if the people leave, if they take all the ordnance away, it will be troublesome!" Hua Zhenji looked at Lu Shuanggun as he spoke: "I'm afraid it's up to Brother Lu next!" ”

Lu Shuanggun nodded and said: "Don't worry about the Chinese staff, my sons may not be as good as your subordinates in frontal fighting, but this dragnet blockade is still a good hand!" ”

Although the cavalry battalion under Lu Shuanggun has gone through more than half a year of formal training, it still has a strong personal style of Lu Shuanggun, and his cavalry battalion is actually good at playing reconnaissance and harassment, and it is barely okay to play dismount foot combat, but it is still slightly inferior to playing saber charge.

Lu Shuanggun knew that it was okay for his men to fight with the wind or resist to the death, but if they wanted to make them launch a counter-charge against the enemy with superior forces as if they were dead, and they were still charging with a sabre, they would definitely collapse before they rushed over......

That has nothing to do with personal bravery, the army that dares to play this kind of battle is generally a well-disciplined modern army, and the cavalry unit of Lu Shuanggun relies more on the personal bravery of the cavalry and the personal prestige of his Lu Shuanggun, although the discipline can be compared with the ordinary new army, but in the end it cannot be compared with the decent Beiyang descendant troops of the Third Town.

Therefore, Lu Shuanggun's troops can fight a battle with a casualty rate of more than half, but they will definitely not be able to fight this kind of counter-charge combat that relies solely on discipline, especially this kind of close combat that does not need to be robbed but can only be saught.

"Well, I can still trust your Jinzhou cavalry battalion's dragnet search ability!" Hua Zhenji continued: "This Wang pigtail and Jin Wanfu's people have been trapped in Xinmin by us, but what happened to Zhang Zuolin? Still haven't moved? ”

Lu Shuanggun said: "Our scout cavalry did not find Zhang Zuolin's abnormal movements, but if he did not make a move, it would definitely be impossible, but we did not find it for the time being!" ”

"I don't believe he's going to let them get rid of their nest!" Hua Zhenji said: "Let your people continue to pay attention to him, don't beat him in the early stage, but you can't let him escape, when the main force led by Kong Tong comes up, you can clear his lair in one fell swoop, hmph, I want to see if the thousands of troops he boasts about can stop our advance!" ”

The reason why Hua Zhenji did not take the initiative to attack Zhang Zuolin even though he had thousands of cavalry was because his cavalry needed to be divided into several parts to intercept those bandits who tried to flee and prevent them from transferring those ordnance, so that there were not many cavalry in his hands that could be concentrated, and it was obviously not cost-effective to attack Zhang Zuolin's department, which had a complete range of engineering artillery and cavalry, with a small number of cavalry.

You must know that although Zhang Zuolin does not have many soldiers and horses, there are thousands of people, and there are a battalion of infantry and a battalion of cavalry, and I don't know where to get a few artillery pieces to build an artillery battalion.

In the face of such an enemy, Hua Zhenji naturally does not want to attack the enemy without authorization, anyway, his task is only to intercept these people and prevent them from escaping, as for the attack on Zhang Zuolin's lair, Kong Guanbei is naturally responsible for it.
