Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Battle Is Over, Where Are the Friendly Forces?
The war horse was galloping rapidly, and the ground overgrown with wild grass with a little residual snow flowed quickly in front of Liu Xian's eyes. More than 20 horsemen have converged into a single force, the horse's hooves are trampling, and the pen is interesting to www.biquge.info a little dirt. Behind him, more than 30 cavalry rebels were chasing after them, and the shouting and shouting were full of atmosphere and anger.
The two horse teams were one in front of the other, one after the other, with a distance of less than fifty meters, galloping in the direction where Liu Xian came.
In the village, Wei Ming and the other thirty horsemen had already been ambushed.
The sound of horses' hooves clattered from far to near, and everyone knew that the prey was in the circle.
A quarter of an hour later, the battle ended, and the battle had a final result. Thirty-five cavalry pursued the rebels, fifteen were killed, wounded and captured, seventeen surrendered, and only three escaped.
Counting the five horsemen killed by Liu Xian during the sweep, a total of thirty-seven cavalry, and the scouts of the righteous army camp by Huaxue Lake are nine out of ten, and there is no longer any threat to Liu Xian.
Liu Xian's men also lost four in battle, three were seriously wounded, and he left five more lightly wounded to take care of the seriously wounded and drive the horses back, not including himself and Wei Ming, exactly forty horsemen.
Forty horsemen are not much, and they don't even have the ability to conquer the rebel army stockade on the edge of Huaxue Lake, but it is enough to scout and cover up the bugs in their hands.
Liu Xian swept over the edge of the Huaxue Lake Volunteer Army camp with his team like a show of martial arts, and the camp sounded the angry scolding of the other party. And these scolding voices are undoubtedly the best reward for their group.
A black pillar of smoke rose from Huaxue Lake Village, and no matter how the shotgun could be hit, it was not accurate, and it was slammed towards Liu Xian and his party for a while. But it also reminded the other two rebel camps on the left and right that there was a situation.
But fortunately, the rebel camps on the left and right sides of Huaxue Lake did not have as many as more than 40 horses like Huaxue Lake Village, and they did not have as many horses as Huaxue Lake Village.
Therefore, after Liu Xian paid the price of five more dead and wounded, he completely suppressed the scope of activities of the Baohedong Righteous Army Cottage.
At this time, the large army of the rebels west of the Bao River had not yet made any response.
Is it because you believe in your own strength on the east bank of the river, or what? Liu Xian found an excuse to enter an extinct village, and carefully looked at the virtual map, and there was no siege on the Hedong side today.
In the afternoon, when the sun was in the west, Liu Xian's infantry brigade rushed to Huaxue Lake. He didn't stop for any time and immediately started attacking.
Liu Xian asked Wei Ming to lead the team to closely observe the movements of the Hexi Righteous Army.
"Splash water, splash water, soak the quilt!"
"The axle of this car is not good, take a good piece of wood and ......"
The rebels who bullied the village did not have iron artillery, so Liu Xian asked the troops to prepare for an attack directly three hundred meters in front of Huaxue Lake Village.
One by one, the earthen tanks were quickly subdued, and soldiers with swords, guns, shields, gunpowder canisters, and gunpowder packs stood behind the earthen tanks.
Liu Xian is the general manager of Qian, and his men and horses have risen from Ding Yong to Bing Yong. Although no one wears it
Green Camp is a rotten skin.
"Attack—"
The wood needed for the earthen tank was available everywhere, and the quilts, scrolls, and wooden wheels had been prepared as early as when the team left Liulin Town. So the whole pre-war preparation time did not exceed two quarters of an hour.
"Bang ......"
The black pillars of smoke rose again in the stockade, much thicker than before, and the number of them changed from one to three. The shotguns in the stockade also fired madly at the slowly advancing earthen tanks. Although everyone knew that shotguns were useless against this thing.
Yes, everyone knows.
Don't think that the earth tank only appeared during the Anti-Japanese War. In the current war-torn era, the earth tank has been around for a long time, but the name is not the same name.
Li Lanyijun used it when he was in Sichuan, the Lan Dynasty Ding attacked Mianzhou, and Li Yonghe attacked Meizhou, all of which appeared in it. When the remnants of Li Lan's army entered southern Shaanxi, they also used it to resist the shotgunners of the Qing army at the head of the city.
"Boom, boom, boom......" the sound of a powder jar exploding.
Before the earthen tank approached the gate of the wall, the rebels inside rushed out. The grenadiers who followed behind the earthen tanks were the first to throw their weapons.
The sound of explosions blew out some of the bravest of the camp rebels, followed by shotgunners and archers, and then the onslaught of cold-weaponed men.
Ten earthen tanks, followed by more than 100 people, together with the 'drivers' inside, 200 people, with many advantages, easily extinguished the counterattack of the camp rebels.
Liu Xian slashed the saber in his hand forward, and the hundreds of soldiers who were screaming bravely raised their swords and guns and rushed forward. The gate of the camp of the rebels could not be closed, and the camp was broken.
Three hundred or so, all young and strong, after the little hundred were killed in battle, the rest were taken prisoner.
The rebel camps on both sides of Huaxue Lake immediately sent troops to help after seeing Huaxue Lake being attacked, but they were defeated one after another under the platoon of guns and gunpowder cans. When Huaxue Lake was completely taken by Liu Xian, the remaining troops of the two villages decisively gave up their respective camps and retreated to Baohe with their troops. When Liu Xian led his troops to approach the Bao River, the remaining two villages were blocked in front of him by relying on a village.
In the field battle, with these hundreds of remnants, any part of the first brigade and the second brigade, Liu Xian was sure of victory. However, attacking and killing into the village, the shotgunners and grenadiers are equivalent to being abolished martial arts, and they can only rely on hand-to-hand combat with knives and guns. The difficulty and casualties are greatly increased!
At the same time, on the west bank of the Bao River, an unknown number of horse teams were wandering, and when Wei Ming found out, he sent someone to report Liu Xian urgently. Let Liu Xian extinguish the last trace of thoughts of attacking the village!
After retreating to Huaxue Lake Village, the sky was already dark, Liu Xian opened the virtual map for the third time in the repaired shack, and he got the exact number of the horse team of the Baohexi Righteous Army, more than 300. But at the same time, the friendly army Lu Youxiong he hoped to find still no longer exists.
Huaxue Lake, seven or eight miles away from the Baohe River, less than ten miles to Baocheng, Liu Xian set off from Liulin Town this morning, this is already on the battlefield, why hasn't Lu Youxiong's department in Fucheng still appeared?
I deeply suspected that Lu Youxiong had not entered the battlefield at all, and when he found a place to stop there in the middle, Liu Xian still sent a horse team to search in the direction of Fucheng, and at the same time, Fan Debiao led people to Fucheng to report the victory, with the hearts of the people of Fucheng and Fucheng.
Late at night, Nan Zheng.
Zhou Fanshou looked at the person in front of him with a gloomy face, if he could do it, he just wanted to knead the person in front of him into a meat puree, and then pinch it flat.
Why did he look at Lu Youxiong blindly, I believe that this cousin will not cheat himself!
Now, he is going to be killed by him.
"Lu Cheng, I tell you that Liu Xian has entered Huaxue Lake, and he also took a camp of rebels by the lake, killed 200 and captured 200 thieves. What are you going to do with your uncle, doesn't he even want to stay in Hanzhong? ”
Zhou Fanshou was really angry. Lu Youxiong walked less than ten miles out of Fucheng and stopped in Longjiang Town. Not to mention whether to cross the Baohe River, the straight line distance from the Longjiang River and Baocheng is twenty miles, when Liu Xian sent people to report the victory, and asked for the location of the friendly army, the eyes of the civil and military people in the hall looked at themselves, and Zhou Fanshou was eager to plunge into the ground at that moment.
"That's what I said, you go back and tell your uncle, Baocheng must be saved. Otherwise, in the future, I will ...... in Hanzhong, and I will not blame me for not talking about relatives! With that, he threw his sleeves and left.
