Before the tenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the 120 miners selected by Qian Yuanshan and others arrived at the "Feilong Village" one after another. Although the managers of each mine had already explained the general purpose of coming here to these miners before they came, in order to further appease the emotions of these miners, so that they could participate in the training wholeheartedly and join the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" willingly, Qian Yuanshan and others conducted a pre-training mobilization for them after the miners had arrived.

Qian Yuanshan personally explained to the miners the importance of participating in these trainings, and described for them a series of preferential conditions that they could receive after completing the training -- the opportunity to become a grassroots officer of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion", to enjoy preferential treatment, to enjoy the opportunity to continue promotion, and to have the opportunity to fight for a beautiful future for themselves.

These simple miners may not understand Qian Yuanshan's great principles about "seeking well-being for the people" and "fighting for the great interests of the nation", but there is one thing they understand, that is, as long as they participate in this training and pass the assessment of Zuihou, they do not have to go back to the mine where they may lose their lives at any time to work hard, and they can enjoy a consistent salary of two and a half times a month, and may be in charge of a dozen or so big soldiers.

Although the soldiers of this "Wyvern Pioneer Battalion" still face the threat of death when they need to participate in battle, compared to the previous time when they were working in the mines, they were always in a tense torment of not knowing when they would go to see Lord Yama, and it was obviously much happier to fight the enemy. Besides, it is the same matter of food and housing, and the money earned by the so-called squad leader in one month is worth the money earned in three months as a miner -- even if he is a big soldier, he earns more in a month than as a miner. Moreover, once you perform well in battle, you will receive an additional reward, which is likely to be more than you can earn by working as a miner for several years. In such a comparison, these miners, who were willing to exchange their lives for themselves or their families, were naturally more willing to join the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" as soldiers.

The positive response of the miners made Qian Yuanshan and others feel completely at ease, and they divided the 120 miners into ten squads, and each squad arranged two veterans of the third squadron of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" for training. The main reason why the veterans of the 3rd Squadron were arranged to be instructors was that the 3rd Squadron suffered heavy losses in the last war, and although this period of time provided them with a group of recruits selected from the homeless people a few years ago, considering that these recruits lacked experience and that the run-in time with the veterans of the 3rd Squadron was too short, it was not very suitable for them to rush into battle -- in particular, the next battle of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" was to fight against the "Feiyunzhai" minions who were more fierce than the previous two battles. Therefore, after deliberation between the committee and the military department, it was decided to extinguish the battle of "Feiyun Village", and the third squadron only dispatched one squadron, and the other soldiers were responsible for staying in the base camp. In this way, the task of training the miners naturally fell to these veterans who stayed behind.

However, since it is to train future grassroots backbones, it must not rely on these veterans alone. Although these veterans have gone through battle formations and have a certain amount of combat experience, their experience is limited to white-knuckle combat and the tactics of using flintlock muskets, and they are also novices in the face of the new rifles that have just been reequipped -- the new rifles are preferentially equipped with the 1st and 2nd squadrons that are about to go out, and the 3rd squadron is much slower to change their equipment except for the squad that participated in this operation, and they have not yet obtained the new rifles. Therefore, these veteran instructors are only responsible for basic training such as queue and physical fitness. The following combat fights, the use of new rifles, and basic tactics were to be completed by Liu Wanbao, a full-time martial arts instructor of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion," and Zeng Zhilin, who was not involved in the next stage of combat according to the arrangements of the committee and the Military Department, and was in charge of the training of recruits on a full-time basis.

Under the leadership of Qian Yuanshan, Tang Chao, Muttel and Xin Feiyu, more than 400 officers and men of the "Feilong Pioneer Battalion" No. 1 Squadron, No. 2 Squadron, No. 3 Squadron, No. 3 Squadron, Mortar Squad, Ranger Squad, and Logistics Squad, who had completed the training of changing the new rifles, confidently left the "Feilong Village" and embarked on the journey of extinguishing the "Feiyun Village."

On the day the army set off, in addition to Zeng Zhilin and Liu Wanbao, who stayed in the base camp, three members of the committee, an alternate member, and all the brothers in the "Liangyuan" under the mountain who had no urgent affairs at hand also came to see off Qian Yuanshan and others. The brothers sent them outside the "Cool Garden" fortress until they waved goodbye to them. ,

After six days of marching, the first army of the ninth month of the lunar calendar arrived at Longtangou, which was five or six miles away from "Feiyun Village". This is a campsite in Zuihou, which was selected during the previous supplementary reconnaissance, and is also the starting base for the attack on "Feiyun Village".

According to Qian Yuanshan's arrangement, after the soldiers drew the scope of the camp, they dug the trench as quickly as possible, and used the excavated soil to build a sheep and horse wall in the trench. In addition, unlike the previous two camps, for the first time, the soldiers pulled up two barbed wire fences outside the trench -- this was specially ordered by Qian Yuanshan and other members of the forward command to lay them in light of the fact that the opponent had a large number of cavalry. Facts have proved that this order of Qian Yuanshan and others is very useful.

Unlike the previous "Baihua Village" plotting to sneak attack at night, and the "Zishi Village" talking about peace and not being able to engage in a head-on battle, the minions of "Feiyun Village" behaved much more actively. Not long after the army of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" arrived in Longtangou, when the soldiers were still digging trenches, there were already patrolling soldiers from "Feiyun Village" snooping in the distance. By the time the parapet wall of the camp was just half built, the cavalry of the "Feiyun Village" that appeared in the field of vision of the sentries of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" had already reached more than 100 horsemen.

At first, these cavalry only spied on the camp of the "Wyvern Pioneer Battalion" from a distance, but when the barracket began to take shape as the barracket wall became more and more erected, they no longer hid their whereabouts, but gathered together and slowly approached the barracks. They paused for a moment when they were two arrows away from the camp, regrouped their formation, and then rushed straight towards the camp of the "Wyvern Pioneer Battalion" with the arrows commonly used by cavalry charges.

In the face of the harassment of the other party's cavalry, the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" has long been prepared. Qian Yuanshan ordered most of the soldiers to continue to build the barracks, and at the same time commanded the ranger squad, a squad of the first infantry squadron, and the mortar squad to enter the sheep and horse wall in the direction of the opponent's cavalry attack, and prepared to give these guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead a dismount.

This cavalry rushing into battle is the patrol soldiers of "Feiyun Village", and the leader is Chen Yu, the second leader of "Feiyun Village". This Chen Yu is the younger brother of Chen Kang, the owner of "Feiyun Village", and he happens to be in charge of patrolling the mountain today. Just now, he received a report from the patrol minions, saying that there was a group of hundreds of warriors who appeared in Longtangou, which was only five or six miles away from Dazhai, and that their outfits looked very much like the "Flying Dragon Village" minions who were in the limelight in the Youzhou Green Forest Realm some time ago -- the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" did not deliberately block the news in the previous two wars, nor did they really ask the participating troops to kill them all and leave no one alive, so there were individual minions in the "Baihua" and "Zishi" villages who fled to other cottages to join the gang. Naturally, the details of the two battles were passed down to the cottages through their mouths. The camouflage combat uniforms worn by the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" are even more distinctive, and it is difficult for other copycat soldiers to recognize them.

"Baihua Village" and "Zishi Village" are placed there, so Chen Yu, who got the report of the minions, did not dare to slack off, he ordered his cronies to go to the village to report to his brother as soon as possible, and at the same time gathered the nearby mountain patrol soldiers to his side, and joined forces with a team of personal soldiers led by him, gathered more than 100 cavalry, and personally went to the camp of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp" to investigate.

Chen Yu's original intention was to observe the minions and battalions of the "Flying Dragon Village" closely, grasp the first-hand information of the other party, and go back to report the details of the enemy to his brother. But when he found that the opponent's camp had not yet been built, the parapet wall had only been erected at most, and the number of minions was only four or five hundred, and most of them were infantry, he changed his original intention. He planned to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's camp was not stable and the defense was still relatively weak, and led his more than 100 cavalry to attack the enemy formation. In this way, even if you can't completely defeat the enemy, you can create chaos on them, weaken them, and demoralize them.

Therefore, after discovering that the other party had no archers at all, Chen Yu, who had greatly increased his self-confidence, was hot-headed, and rushed towards the camp of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" with more than 100 cavalry under his command - although Chen Yu had also heard of the people of the "Flying Dragon Village" from several "Hundred Flower Village" minions who had thrown themselves into his own cottage that there was a strange weapon that was similar to a bow and crossbow but more powerful than it had never been seen before. But it is difficult for anyone who has never seen or even heard of a firearm to imagine what kind of weapon it is. Therefore, Chen Yu has always regarded this so-called "magic weapon" as a nonsense made up by the soldiers of the "Baihua Village" to cover up his incompetence, and he did not believe their words at all. ,

Although, in a sense, all the people of this era who have not seen the power of firearms basically hold similar views, Chen Yu, who has temporarily changed his mind, is destined to become a victim of his own views.

When Chen Yu led his minions to charge towards the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" camp, the Ranger squad led by Muttel also rushed out of the camp. However, their direction was not Chen Yu and his men, who were galloping, but divided into two teams, left and right, avoiding Chen Yu's impact route, and outflanking him along the arc line.

The other party's move made Chen Yu faintly feel that something was wrong, and made the judgment that the other party intended to cut off his back road and annihilate him. Although in Chen Yu's view, it was beyond his power for the other party to use 50 or 60 cavalry to encircle his rear road, the cautious style he had cultivated after many years of fighting with officers and soldiers still made him suspicious, and his originally impulsive mood gradually calmed down, and he began to reflect on whether his decision was correct.

Moreover, as he got closer and closer to the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Camp", the two barbed wire fences that were originally unrealistic from a distance could also be clearly distinguished. Although Chen Yu did not know what this unknown object in front of the other party's trench was, his experience told him that it must be an obstacle set up by the other party to prevent him from approaching his camp.

The opponent's unusual performance made Chen Yu immediately decide to temporarily stop the impact on the enemy's camp, first turn around and finish off the opponent's cavalry, and then move according to the opponent's reaction camera.

So, Chen Yu, who had made up his mind, immediately blew out a series of whistles to convey his intentions to his subordinates. With Chen Yu's whistle, these cavalry of "Feiyun Village" showed their skillful riding skills and tacit cooperation. The original arrow-shaped formation was like someone had slashed it from the middle, and it was instantly split into two halves, one left and one right, drawing two arcs at a stone's throw away from the "Wyvern Pioneer Camp" camp, ready to turn back and deal with Muttel and his Ranger team.

From the perspective of this era, Chen Yu's decision to lead his team to make a beautiful turn and cover up the opponent's small cavalry from behind was absolutely correct - not to mention that the other side did not seem to have any bows and arrows at all. Moreover, the tactical skills of his minions are also very high - this is something that even Mutel is a master of horsemanship.

It's a pity that Chen Yu and his men are not facing the traditional army of this era, but the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" equipped with rifles, primitive mortars and even modern machine guns. His beautiful forward turn gave the opponent the best angle to shoot - although the side of the body was the least likely to be aimed at for the minions of the "Flying Cloud Village", the opposite was true for their horses, and the side was the easiest to aim. As the saying goes, "shoot people first and shoot horses first", in the face of the war horses facing them with the largest bullet surface, the soldiers of the "Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion" did not hesitate to pull the trigger.

At first, it was only rifle fire, then the machine guns also roared, and the Zuihou mortars also fired. In the burst of gunfire, those "Feiyun Village" minions who thought they were at a safe distance and were making a gorgeous turn fell to the ground one after another. Those soldiers who were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe were also in a bad situation. The horses under their crotches were almost all frightened when they heard such a fierce gunfire and began to scurry around.

However, the minions were all skilled riders, and although they were hit unexpectedly, they did not panic, but with their own skill, they controlled their mounts desperately, and soon quieted them. Of course, from receiving a sudden blow to controlling the frightened war horse, they also paid a heavy price, more than half of the minions were either dead or wounded, Chen Yu was even more because of the unusual way he dressed, became the object of the other party's key "care", and was knocked off the horse in the first round of shooting, and was killed on the spot.

Chen Yu died, his brothers suffered heavy losses, and in the face of such a situation, those minions who stabilized their mounts had only one thought, that is, to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and return to Dazhai to report to the big boss. However, they soon found that this was an impossible idea, as their rear route had been cut off by the opposing cavalry.
