Chapter 2: Saving the Governor of Liangguang (18)

Several signal soldiers sent by the first regiment stood in front of the fortifications, used binoculars to see the horse team running in the distance, recognized the unique camouflage uniform on the knight, blew the whistle, and desperately waved the two flags in his hand, hoping that Li Yuncong's team would follow his command.

"Front-line trenches, ready to shoot." Wu Quanyi gave the order, and the herald did not beat the war drum, but blew the brass whistle, and the sharp whistle could better convey the order in the positional battle. The deputy regiment commander asked beside Wu Quanyi, "Looking at the signal of the signal corps, it is our brothers who are being chased by the enemy, what if they can't see the banner of the signal corps?" ”

Wu Quanyi did not answer his question, but directly gave an order to the herald: "Prepare." ”

The herald faithfully passed on the order.

When Wu Quanyi gives the order to move, the soldiers in the front-line trenches will fire a volley of guns, and a thousand rounds of ammunition will cover the front without distinguishing between the enemy and us. If Li Yuncong and the others could not see the banner of the signal corps just now, then they would die in the bullets fired by their comrades before the enemy.

In fact, before Li Yuncong saw the banner of the signal corps, he gave an order: "To the left, to the left!" Follow me! "Because he saw the signal corpsmen in fiery red uniforms, he had already guessed, with the judgment of an officer who had experienced the flames of war, that if he were the commander of the forward troops, he would have set up the reserved passage there.

When the signal corps waved the flag, Li Yuncong's squad was already beginning to turn to the left, and when they rushed into the reserved passage, the soldiers in the trench immediately pulled the rope and dragged away the planks on the trench. And the sharp copper whistle is at this time. Wu Quanyi's order was delivered: "Release!" ”

Three hundred rounds of ammunition flew to the rebels who entered a distance of one hundred meters, and then three hundred bullets from another battalion, which on this day blew from the south. So the smoke was blown away quickly after the launch, so the commanders of the companies in the trenches immediately gave the order: "Stop dropping bombs!" Reload, reload now! "But a dozen grenades* were still thrown, and no one was harmed.

for the rebels retreated.

For 600 rounds of front-loading bullets, according to the 50 percent hit rate of the smoothbore gun within 100 meters, it is almost 300 rounds of bullets. Moreover, not every rebel army was evenly distributed to one bullet, that is. Three hundred rounds of bullets that hit the target, perhaps some of them hit the same person or horse.

In the telescope, there seemed to be about 200 corpses.

But they retreated, and the rebel army of two or three thousand men.

One tenth of the battle losses for the army of this era. And it's a very poorly disciplined army. It's enough of a hit. What's more, in this era, there is a distinction between soldiers and auxiliaries, that is, logistics personnel - no matter what name is used, they are either called auxiliaries, or old battalions, or called Minzhuang, etc., they are usually doing logistics work, and they chase after the defeated soldiers when they are fighting a good battle.

There were more than 200 people in front of him, and all of them were soldiers. Just falling down and suddenly not being there was enough to make them horrified and panicked. If you count the soldiers alone, I am afraid that these more than 200 people will be more than one-tenth, and I am afraid that the proportion of two-tenths or more will be two-tenths or more. And the strength of the rebels is that they never fight in arrays, and they are not well-trained cavalry, even if they have horses.

And their rout is different from the retreat when fighting with the official army on weekdays, the retreat is step-by-step, organized, and planned, and each leader brings his own men and horses to all different directions. And this time, they were suddenly killed by 200 centaurs, but they turned them into a rout, a wave of rewind.

And so even greater frustration and pain followed.

The root of this tragedy should start from the mountainside at the northeast exit of Duqiao Mountain, Zheng Ang, who only had more than 100 henchmen, was rushed to within 20 steps by Du Ziteng and Xing Dahe, the three wolf soldiers held shields in front, Du Ziteng and Xing Dahe four revolvers with 24 bullets, and knocked over more than a dozen people as soon as they saw each other; Retracted behind the shield and dodged a round of bows and arrows, loaded the bullets and got up, Zheng Ang rushed over with his henchmen, this time it was closer, only about ten meters, this time twenty-four bullets fired continuously, almost knocking down twenty people at once, Zheng Ang was pulled by his frightened men, and fled into the mountains in a panic.

Shi Pu's two or three thousand border army iron cavalry rushed out of Duqiao Mountain without hindrance.

On the way back to the capital city of Wuzhou, he happened to collide with the retreating two or three thousand rebels. The foot soldier is a cavalryman, and a cavalry who raises speed, and how can an unorganized foot soldier be spared? Except for the hundreds of old-fashioned rebels who saw the opportunity quickly and immediately fled into the mountains, the other 2,000 or so people were basically driven south by bullets; driven north by cavalry; Then they were driven south by bullets.

And then there was no then, and in the process of coming back and forth, all the blood and luck were exhausted.

Either died under bullets, or died under sabers or iron hooves, and those who were alive were lucky, throwing their blades directly in front of the trenches of the first regiment, kneeling and surrendering with their heads held - those who went south, even if they wanted to surrender, they couldn't surrender, those border troops were trapped for so many days, it was a belly of fire, and they were really cut off when they saw someone, and they knelt on the ground and stepped on their horses, hoping to surrender to these border troops and live, which is basically unlikely.

The 201 Regiment of the Mountain Brigade had eaten outside the city of Wuzhou, and by the time they arrived at the position of the 1st Regiment, the battle was over.

They met Shi Pu, who was guarded by dozens of elite horsemen led by Wen Fatzi and Fat Ball, and was rushing to Wuzhou Mansion, at least the remaining border cavalry in their early 2,000s, Shi Pu had no intention of caring at all, and ordered them to belong to the command of the camel very heroically, and even for fear that they would bully the camel young, he also specially instructed the general who led the troops: "This is Ding Rujin's student, he was selected for Xiucai the year before last, and the country was in trouble, so he came to Guangxi with his division to lead the troops to quell the chaos, and there are students with names and surnames in the Guozi Prison, When Guangxi is over, he has to go back to Beijing to study or be appointed as an official! "As an official, of course, he is a civilian official, that is to say, the woolly camel is famous, not a general in the army, don't think that people are qualified at a young age.

The general listened to Ding Rujin's three words, and immediately subconsciously shrank his neck, the latter words are actually a bit redundant, I just watched the "Five Thunder Rectification", the cohesive power of the name Ding Rujin has definitely been able to make the border army in the trapped valley honest, how can you still use the words behind?

Mao Huo, the commander of the first regiment of this side, assigned people to settle the border army, and sent people to capture prisoners, clean up the battlefield, pick up Ding Junyue and Du Ziteng, and arrange for the subsequent mountain brigade 20th regiment to enter the position, and other trivial and complicated affairs are not mentioned for the time being.

Wen Fatzi escorted Shi Pu back to the city There were no twists and turns, but when he met Ding Yi who came out of the city to greet him, Shi Pu really smiled a little embarrassed, and when he entered the city, he was tired of reasoning, and Ding Yi was invited to watch the assignment of all kinds of affairs, and he had to go to freshen up and rest first.

Hearing what Lao Shipu said, Ding Yi smiled and nodded without saying anything, but said to Zhao Fu: "In this way, you will go with the Taibao, so that you can report all the recent things in the city when the Taibao is free, pick up the important ones, and report them one by one." Zhao Fu listened very grateful, he took refuge in Ding Yi, if Ding Yi didn't open his mouth, he would go with Shi Pu, then it was obviously an unfamiliar dog, but if he didn't go with Shi Pu, why didn't he go to the new master's house and forget the old master's house?

"Say it." Ding Yi looked at Shi Pu who was far away, and while walking towards the city, he said to Fat Ball and Wen Fatzi, he could see at a glance that these two people had something to say. Wen Fatzi is a person who knows the importance of things, and he didn't sell anything, so he directly took out the fold that Shi Pu wrote when he was trapped in the valley, took it out, opened the oil paper package outside, and handed it to Ding Yi.

Fat Qiu saw Wen Fatzi's style, so he naturally didn't dare to be weird, and said: "The staff of the Taibao want five thousand taels of silver." ”

Ding Yi, who was watching the folding, didn't look up, but said indifferently: "Give it to him." ”

"Huh?" Fat Ball was stunned for a moment, rubbed his nose embarrassedly and said, "The disciple was afraid that when he went to the master's mother to receive the money, he would give the disciple many forms to fill out later, so the disciple didn't promise him, but just told him that if the news he sold was useful, keep his house safe." ”

"Stupid." Ding Yi still didn't look up, "Uncle Wen, you tell him." ”

Wen Fatzi smiled bitterly and asked Fat Ball: "When did you hook up with that staff?" ”

"He doesn't know how to ride a horse, and when he rushes out of the valley, he gets scared, or I help him pull it, and he can fall to his death, and I pull the reins for him all the way...... Out of the northeast canyon of Duqiao Mountain, he told me when he was in the whole team. Fat Ball scratched his head a little depressedly, thinking that he would be scolded for saving money.

Fat Man Wen shook his head and said, "It's a good thing to be able to catch the line, but have you ever thought that keeping people's houses safe will be much more troublesome than five thousand taels of silver?" How many wives and concubines he has, do you know the way? Is the high hall still in your knowledge? How many sons, daughters, and grandchildren? Where is home? You don't know anything, so you open your mouth to keep people's homes safe? ”

"I, I'm thinking that when he finishes speaking, we won't admit it, won't it save trouble?" Fat Ball looked innocent.

Wen Fat Man made him cry and laugh: "Then people went around saying that the disciples under Ding Rongcheng's gate have no faith at all?" Or go to Shi Taibao and say that you were ordered by the young master nephew and were going to buy him? Don't say that there is no evidence or evidence, do you think Shi Taibao will believe him, or will he come to you to confront him? Is it possible that this thing is opposite? ”

Fat Ball was stunned for a moment, after all, he was a character from the army, and he had not been with Ding Yi for a few days, and Ding Yi was no better than the students with Du Ziteng at present, and now he was busy with a lot of things, how could he be like at that time, almost all his mind was training those hundreds of people? Zhu Yong will plant better, a few words will be clear, and the fat ball is really a little childish.

"Send someone to Jingshi immediately, in my opinion, Shi Taibao is only afraid of getting out of danger, and this mind will be lively." After reading the recital, Ding Yi smiled and handed it to Fat Wen, but he commanded like this. (To be continued......)
