Section 22: Yizhou meets the second

"Everyone says that Yimeng Mountain is good, and Yimeng (that) Mountain is beautiful. How beautiful the green water is in the green mountains, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep __"

It was in the afternoon, the warm spring sun shining warmly on Long Qian's body, looking at the vast mountain scenery, as soon as he was happy, he sang a song with his throat.

Gao Huzi, the squad leader of the first squad of the guard company, was the first batch of veterans to join the army in Baiwei Town, "Where is this mountain song that the commander sang?" It's pretty good. ”

"Nonsense, didn't you listen to the singing of our Yimeng Mountain? Shandong, of course. Zhang Ping glared at Gao Huzi.

"Hehe, I didn't expect the commander to sing__"

"There are a lot of commanders, where do you know the way!"

īšīš

"Good song! Retreat and be versatile," Wu Yong said with a smile, "Speaking of green mountains and green waters, that is the scenery of Jiangzuo, if you talk about Lunan, poor mountains and bad waters are quite appropriate." ”

It seems that Wu Yong does not have a good impression of Lu Nan.

The distant ones are not clear, and the nearby mountains are mostly bare, with occasional trees growing on them, mostly in remote places far from the mountain roads.

"The mountain people rely on firewood for heating and cooking, and no one goes to plant trees, so after a long time, the nearby trees are sparse. In fact, there are dense forests in the mountains, and last year there was news of leopards hurting people, and those big insects are living in the dense forests__" Zhang Lianfen, who was riding on a horse and walking with Wu Yong, stroked her beard, savoring the mountain song that Long Qian had just roared, and felt a little strange in her heart, how can a young man who grew up in the United States sing a song with a strong Shandong flavor? If it was taught by his father, but he claimed to be from Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi?

"Retreat," Zhang Lian Fenya is good at music. I felt more and more that the song was good, so I pinched the horse's belly and caught up with Long Qian, "Where did you hear the song just now?" It's a bit of a taste. ”

Long Qian was startled, only to realize that he had caused trouble. If it is said that the mountain songs in the area of Zhengjiazhuang are even worse, there are several local soldiers in the accompanying guard squad, so they have to bite the bullet and say, "I made it up myself." Spring has arrived, and I feel something. ”

"What a heart, I feel something, and sings casually. I didn't expect my brother to be so versatile. ”

"What Lord Zhang just said is very true. If it is not guided. This green mountain and green water. It can only be made up by literati. The desertification in the north of the Saibei is serious, Datong is already outside the Saiwai, last year to escort the west hunting, and then can not see the magnificent scene of the wind blowing the grass and seeing the cattle and sheep. It's a shame. That's right. Coal is produced in the area of Yixian County. The local people burn coal for heating and cooking, right? ”

"No. I can't afford more. Go up the hill to chop wood and don't need money__"

"Oh, when we set up industry, we will recruit a large number of surplus rural people to engage in industry and mining. It is not a dream to get rich people, and it is better to run an industry than to farm to make money. ”

"Surplus population?"

"Yes. Don't adults think that there are a large number of wealthy people in the countryside? Land is limited and the population is increasing steadily and rapidly, which will inevitably lead to accelerated rural poverty. Only by bringing the population out of the land can the countryside be restored. ”

Zhang Lianfen savored Long Qian's words, "Think back, what is the rural world like in the United States? ”

"I can't say a word. In short, there are fewer people in the land, and things are easier to do__"

The three of them walked side by side, talking about their respective concerns along the way, and unconsciously walked into the depths of the mountains, where there were fewer and fewer villages, and the roads were also rugged and difficult to walk, and many places had to dismount and walk. After resting in a village called Weijiazhai, the soldier who led the way checked the road with the local people, saying that they had entered the territory of Yizhou, and the road would be easy to walk after crossing the mountain in front. At this rate, we should be able to reach Yizhou tonight.

"Then let's work harder and rush to Yizhou to let the Tang prefect treat you." Long Qian turned on his horse and continued to move towards the southeast.

About two miles out of Weijiazhai, the two mountains are sandwiched, the mountain road is narrow, and at a bend, this small team was suddenly ambushed.

The sudden sound of gunfire made Long Qian slam his horse back, and saw that one of the soldiers in front had been shot and fell from his horse, one foot was still hanging in the stirrups, his body fell to the ground, and he was dragged to the side of the road by the frightened war horse.

"Not good! Dismount! As soon as Long Qian shouted, a soldier in front of him on the left shouted, and his body fell on the back of his horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

At the same time as jumping off the horse, Long Qian saw the figure shaking in the bushes above the bend, it must be an ambush!

Long Qian only had an American-made revolver in his waist, the range was only a few tens of meters, he rushed up a few steps, grabbed the reins of the soldier who fell on horseback, and saw that the soldier's cheeks were red with blood, and he was shot in the head, and he was estimated to have died, Long Qian was about to get the rifle on the soldier's back, Zhang Ping had already rushed over, "Get down, get down!" ”

Long Qian was knocked down by Zhang Ping, and there was another dense burst of gunfire, and the horse standing in place fell to the ground with a scream and fell in front of Long Qian.

"Quick, cover Lord Zhang's retreat and return to Weijiazhai!" After the initial chaos, Long Qian had calmed down and shouted to Zhang Ping, "Protect the two adults," he pushed Zhang Ping, easily removed the rifle from the dead soldier's back, pulled the bolt and loaded it, using the horse as a cover, and fired the first bullet.

Deafening gunfire was heard, and the guards on the left began to return fire.

Long Qian looked through the horse's mane and saw that more than a dozen figures had rushed out on the opposite side, and rushed up the mountain road with a shout, running towards this side.

Pull the bolt and shoot again, and this shot knocks out an enemy who is running in front. Then, two more enemies fell to the ground. The guard squad is all veterans with good marksmanship.

"Commander, there are also over there, at least twenty." I don't know when Jiang Yun came to Long Qian's side, "Commander, you retreat quickly, take advantage of them not rushing up, you retreat quickly, I will lead people to resist." ”

"You can't!" Long Qian, who was many times more experienced in combat than Jiang Yun, of course saw the figure that appeared on the hillside on the left, and was struggling to rush towards this side, "I order you to take Lord Zhang and Lord Wu to retreat, go quickly!" ”

"No!"

"Execute the order!" Long Qian shot again, "We'll cover you." Just go! ”

Jiang Yun left, and Long Qian reached out to fumble for ammunition on the fallen soldier and put it in his pocket. Looking back, I saw Zhang Lianfen being dragged by Wu Yong and hiding behind a big tree, and then sighed. It looks like I've been shot.

"Gao Huzi!" Long Qian shouted, "Go and help the two adults!" Return to Weijiazhai! Brothers, fight! ”

Seven or eight rifles struggled to resist, and the accurate shooting overwhelmed the enemy who pounced on the mountain road, Long Qian turned the muzzle of the gun, took a slight aim, and knocked down an enemy who had rushed up the mountain road on the left, this result frightened the enemy.

"Alternate cover, retreat!" Long Qian shouted.

A group of soldiers began to retreat, taking up cover terrain.

Long Qian fired two more bullets. Confirmed to have hit another enemy. "Withdraw another group, quick!"

The second group of soldiers quickly jumped up and ran backwards.

Rigorous training allowed the soldiers to stabilize from the initial panic, showing a higher level of tactical literacy than the ambushers, and the six rifles that retreated behind the rocks opened heavy fire. Covering the retreat of Long Qian, Zhang Ping, and one of the last soldiers. This is the most dangerous stage. When Long Qian ordered a retreat, Zhang Ping let out a sigh and was shot. The soldier dragged the wounded Zhang Ping back a few steps, and moved behind the big tree where Zhang Lianfen and Wu Yong were hiding just now, "Commander, come quickly." The soldier shot half-crouching, covering Long Qian to crawl back.

"What about him?" Long Qian went to look at Zhang Ping and saw that his right hand was dripping with blood, and he didn't know if he was shot in his hand or arm, "If you can, you can run back by yourself." Leave the bullet behind. Not bothering to bandage Zhang Ping, Long Qian reached out to ask for Zhang Ping's bullet belt.

"Commander, you go, I'll cover you." Zhang Ping trembled and tried to pull the bolt.

"Go!" Long Qian ripped off Zhang Ping's bullet belt, put it on his back, and said to the soldiers who were shooting desperately, "Retreat, go behind that stone." ”

Alternate cover is the basis of squad tactics, and there are basic rules for attacking and retreating. The soldier snorted and quickly pressed the bullet into the rifle magazine, "Commander, you go first, I'll come right away." ”

Long Qian pulled Zhang Ping up, "See that stone?" Run! ”

Zhang Ping picked up his rifle, covered his injured arm and quickly ran behind the rocks. Long Qian fired a shot steadily, then ran over, and the gravel hit by a bullet jumped up and hit him in the calf, he snorted, and hurriedly took a bullet from his coat pocket and reloaded the empty rifle.

"Commander, Commander, from that side, from that side" shouted the retreating group on the other side of the mountain road.

Long Qian swept the terrain, the uneven rocks could provide cover, "Okay," he shouted at the soldiers who were still shooting under the trees ten meters in front, "Retreat!" He was about to take Zhang Ping away, when he saw that the brave soldier just turned around, and one of them stumbled and fell.

"Commander, let's go." Another group of soldiers who had retreated in advance ran over and dragged Long Qian, "Let's save him, commander, go quickly!" ”

The three battle teams abandoned their horses, paid the price of one dead and one wounded, and returned to the entrance of Weijiazhai Village under alternate cover, and Gao Huzi, who was sweating profusely, rushed over, "Commander, there is a land temple over there, go into the temple!" I cover. ”

"What about the two of them?"

"Governor Wu is injured, but Lord Zhang is fine."

The remaining guard squad finally withdrew into the Land Temple after five minutes.

"What to do? What to do? Who are they? Zhang Lianfen's official hat was lost, her face was covered with ashes, and when she saw Long Qian, she pounced on Long Qian and grabbed Long Qian, "Hurry up and run." ”

"Can't run. In that case, none of them will survive. Long Qian shook off Zhang Lianfen, "Just stay here, and then figure out a way after dark." ”

This is a deliberate ambush! What went wrong? A series of questions were swirling in Long Qian's mind, but the most important thing was the terrain and his own troops and ammunition.

There were a total of seven soldiers in the guard squad who withdrew in, plus Long Qian, Jiang Yun and the injured Zhang Ping, there were only ten people with combat effectiveness.

"There is only one door, which can be guarded!" Gao Huzi calmly reported.

Long Qian didn't say anything, and quickly inspected the land temple: a very small courtyard, the temple wall had partially collapsed, the south faced the ditch, the main gate faced east, and there was only one large hall. "Okay, you take three people to hold the gate, two to the west and three to the north, and the rest to support the mobility. Master Zhang, you go into the house! ”

Zhang Lianfen retreated to the "main hall" with the sky exposed, Wu Yong sat leaning on the pillar, covering his calves and moaning, and there were gunshots and shouts outside, "Don't let any of them go!" Capture Long Qian alive and avenge Tao's family__" (to be continued......
