Chapter 140: Happiness is Like a Flower

Colonel Qin went out of the city, and after coming to the military camp in the north, he began to set it up.

At this time, the refugees, who were running fast, had already crossed the barracks and headed for the north gate.

The current weather is not suitable for rescue at all.

The reason why he agreed to King Hu Yue was not that he was soft-hearted, but that he had the idea of testing tactics, and he made a move with the same color eye, and by the way, he weighed the other party's catties. He even calculated the losses, and if he exceeded a hundred, he would be returned.

"Report, twenty guns are ready and ready to go. ”

"Report, all the generals of the 16th Regiment have been assembled, please instruct. ”

Colonel Qin didn't ramble anymore, and after saying 'go', he took the lead out of the barracks.

The first and second battalions set out from the east side, and he himself with the third battalion and artillery from the west side.

The only tactic he could use was blockade warfare.

In order to reduce casualties, it is not necessary to carry heavy guns, and use the power of the guns to slow down the impact of the Colored Eye.

The farther north you go, the more Hu Yue people you meet, or groups of three or five, holding each other and moving forward with difficulty, or fleeing for their lives alone, there are not many horseback riders, and there are not many chariots.

Some of them saw the auspicious soldiers who were fully armed, and after a long sigh of relief, they fell down in the ice and snow, never wanting to get up again.

After the continuous long journey, coupled with the huge psychological pressure, the breath that was holding was relaxed, and the whole person could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Fortunately, this place is not far from Xingfeng City, and the city has prepared an emergency plan to prevent them from freezing to death.

Once at the preset location, the soldiers began to dig trenches with sapper shovels.

The ditch is not deep, it is also to the calf position, about two feet wide, thousands of meters long, east-west direction, a total of three, the interval between the two adjacent ones is also two feet, called 'trapping the horse ditch'.

More than 1,000 people worked together, the efficiency was very high, although the ground was frozen and a little stiff, but still could not stop the sharp sapper shovel.

After the ditch was dug up, it was filled with pine snow, and the soil was concentrated 100 meters away to the south, and it was built into a fortification, and after the snow was burned, it was poured up, and it was as hard as iron.

After doing all this, Colonel Qin sent the first and second battalions to the east side to ambush, and he took the third battalion to hide behind the fortifications and prepare to fight the enemy and provide them with an ambush opportunity.

The artillery was lined up a hundred meters behind him, dressed in camouflaged white artillery suits.

Looking at the more and more people in Huyue in the west, everyone knows that the people of Semu are not far away.

"Let the cavalry company attack, and if the people of the Eyed do not come, bring them over. ”

"Yes. ”

It is impossible for the trap to be set on the escape route of the people, so there is a high chance that the people will not actively enter the encirclement, and they need to be lured.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the Hu Yue people turned to the auspicious preset position for safety, so there was no need to lure.

The winter combat uniform of the Jixiang Road Army is white, and as soon as you lie down in the snow, it blends in with the surroundings and is difficult to spot.

So when some people rushed here, they stepped on a lot of soldiers who were hiding in the snow to observe, and they made a big fuss.

Colonel Qin, who was behind the fortifications, had already seen the chaos ahead, and his ears were full of screams and sorrows.

The Seemen didn't shoot, they used knives.

Maybe it's a deliberate teasing, or maybe it's a day of running, people are tired and tired, and the action of swinging the knife seems a little stiff, and often the person doesn't die with a knife, rolling in the snow and wailing, dyed everywhere is eye-catching red.

Finally, the people of Hu Yue stepped over the newly built temporary fortifications, as if they were seeing relatives, kowtowing and making gestures to the auspicious soldiers, which made Colonel Qin frown.

"Hurry up and persuade them to leave, the Semu people are coming, don't get in the way of our battle. ”

For the people of Hu Yue who came to hear the news, although Qin Xiaoxiao understood, he did not accept it.

If the Lusters rushed in, it would be a disaster.

Fortunately, the people also knew the severity, and the mascot would snipe the people here to rescue them, and after expressing their gratitude, they went along the west side of the defense line towards Xingfeng City.

The cavalry company returned, and sporadic gunfire was heard behind them, and the people were even more confused.

"Report, the enemy rode no more than a thousand, and they were tired from chasing all the way, and they did not see them use guns. ”

After hearing this, Junior Colonel Qin rarely showed a hint of a smile.

It seems that the people of the color eyes are really careless, and in order to hunt down these refugees, they don't even want to waste time reloading, and they deserve to be unlucky.

"Prepare for the battle, with the Chinese army's gunfire as an order. ”

The cavalry company waved the flag and passed the order down.

In a short time, more than a thousand cavalry of the Semu people rushed towards the defense line like a rampant black snake.

After discovering the mascot, he didn't slow down, but accelerated and rushed over.

Colonel Qin can guess the other party's thoughts with his buttocks, it is nothing more than that he is a cavalryman, with strong mobility and impact, in this weather, the mascot field battle is not advantageous.

The most important thing is that the strength he showed does not make them afraid, only 500 foot soldiers, even the 20 artillery pieces are covered in white camouflage, and more than 1,000 cavalry attack 500 infantry, no wonder the other party does not even think about it.

It's a godsend, and there's no better place to start.

After the Semu cavalry, there was no longer the wailing of the people of Hu Yue, only the heavy sound of horses' hooves stepping on the snow.

In the binoculars, Junior Colonel Qin could even clearly see the Semu cavalry in front of him, his eyes red from excitement, and even blood flowing from the saber raised high.

The war horse sprayed white mist, like a rushing wave, instantly narrowing the distance between the two sides, and rushed into the ambush circle unsuspectingly.

I saw that the front hooves of a war horse in the front row suddenly became short, and it had fallen into a horse ditch, and then under the action of huge inertia, it fell headlong.

The man on horseback, with a twisted flush on his face, fell firmly on the snow, and was immediately drowned by the herd of horses behind.

One after another, the colored cavalry seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, and it stopped abruptly when they arrived at the trapping ditch, the horse's hooves were broken and I don't know how many, coupled with the slippery snow, the follow-up cavalry couldn't react, and they couldn't contain their strength, so they crashed into it directly, and the scene was like a stacked block, which made Qin Xiaoxiao open his mouth wide.

"Commander, can't you fight?"

The adjutant's reminder made the colonel come back to his senses, and he said a little excitedly: "Fight, of course such a good opportunity." ”

He never thought that the small three traps would have such a big effect.

At this time, there were not many colored cavalry who were lucky enough to avoid the trapping ditch, and after a burst of guns, they fell.

He can't be blamed for this, if this battle is delayed for a month, I'm afraid it will be a different scene.

The mascot's gun rang out, but the soul of the man with the color eyes was not lost.

In just a few breaths, the Semu people adjusted the direction of their attack, and they began to make a detour to the west, bypassing the trap of the mascot and attacking from the flanks.

So a strange picture was formed, the first and second battalions of the mascot shrank southward, forming a 'V' pocket with the first battalion, and the angry people were also in a radical 'V' formation, and they plunged into the pocket.

When they finally crossed the trap and slashed at them, the auspicious twenty cannons rang out.

The most ferocious person in the front row, the ugliest face, bore the brunt, and most of them fell down in an instant, and it was difficult to find even the whole corpse, either blown up or trampled to death, the scene was extremely ferocious.

When they finally survived the first round of shelling and rushed up with the gap in reloading, the auspicious muskets were again powerful.

The man on the horse is not easy to fight, but the horse is easy to fight.

So before they could rush into the fortifications, the people who were lucky enough to come close to them were horrified to find that there were not only 500 people on the other side, but also nearly 1,000 people on the left side who were holding guns and shooting bullets at them.

So Junior Colonel Qin found that the rear team of the people with colored eyes had slowed down.

"They're going to run, they're going to blow, they're going to charge!"

At this time, the artillery roared again, and the Semu people, who were still struggling with whether to continue the attack, finally stopped hesitating, turned their horses' heads and ran back and forth.

The loud charge horn sounded, and more than 1,000 auspicious soldiers got up one after another, and chased after the Semu people on two legs, which had a greater symbolic meaning.

Those who ran early and fast when they saw the opportunity were naturally the first to leave the battlefield, but those who rushed fiercely and fiercely were not so lucky.

Colonel Qin was not greedy, and only asked the cavalry company to cut off the back road of the people who rushed to the front, and those who ran far away were handed over to the artillery, and after raising the angle of fire and firing three rapid shots, he let the first battalion clean up the mess.

After being shot dead and wounded by more than 200 people, the remaining dozens finally collapsed, dismounted and surrendered.

About half an hour later, a battalion came to report, and three rounds of rapid fire fell, killing more than 100 enemies and leaving no wounded.

He also cleaned up the battlefield at the trap of the horse ditch, killing more than 460 enemies and capturing more than 80 prisoners in the three places, and Jixiang himself suffered 14 casualties, only 3 killed.

When he got this data, even Junior Colonel Qin was stunned.

This is something that I didn't dare to think about before the war, but it really happened in front of my eyes.

I promised King Hu Yue, I thought it would be a tough battle, try to control the casualties within 100 people, and make a gesture to be able to make a difference, and by the way, I just weighed the catties and taels of the people with colored eyes, but I didn't expect it to be such an exciting result.

The people who fled entered Xingfeng City, and they cried about the various crimes of the Semu people, so the people in the city who had never seen the Semu people learned that the Semu people were hateful, lustful, easy to kill, easy to rob, and like to eat human flesh, and they were already like a level of existence like a ghost.

In the large tent on the side of the palace, Cole still held the glass of wine in his hand to celebrate the auspicious man, but he was annoyed by the noise outside, so he asked people to ask what was going on.

After a while, the messenger reported back and forth: "My lord, the fleeing people have entered the city, and they are crying about the crimes of the Semu people, and the city lord has already arranged for it. ”

Seeing that it was the people who had entered the city, Cole's expression slowed slightly, and then he asked impatiently, "Did you mention the auspicious soldiers?"

"This ......"

People came and went to reach a strong place, and the mascot took a look at the position, and his face was difficult.

"When did I ask you, when did you think about it!" Cole was obviously anxious, this matter was related to Hu Yue's fate, and he couldn't do it indifferently.

"The people said that there were not many mascots, certainly less than a thousand, and behind them were the black and oppressive cavalry, which rushed towards them like a snowball, and then they heard a burst of gunfire, but it was not long, and the artillery only went off five rounds. ”

As soon as these words came out, the entire tent fell into a brief silence, and then suddenly there was an uproar.

Those who led the troops knew that hundreds of people fought against more than 1,000 cavalry, and even artillery only fired five rounds, and only the annihilation of the whole army could explain it.

Da Gaoqiang's face is also difficult to see, if Jixiang loses this battle, the chain reaction will be great.

"I said that such weather is not suitable for field warfare, knowing that the enemy is all cavalry, but only a few hundred men dare to fight, it is simply rampant. ”

"I don't know if it's because people can't do it, or if the auspicious generals have always been high-eyed and low-handed, it's really strange that they won a few beautiful battles last year. ”

"I'm still too young!"

"That's it, the young man also paid the price for his arrogance, so don't gloat, just give away hundreds of good sons for nothing, it's a pity. ”

A middle-aged military attache in Great Xia came forward to make peace, whether it was true or false, but it also had some effect, and everyone's words were no longer sharp.

After all, people are for the good of Hu Yue, and since they have paid the price for their arrogance, there is no need to fall into the trap again.

Da Gaoqiang is not calm.

Although he didn't believe that Colonel Qin dared to take only a few hundred people and fight nearly a thousand cavalrymen, he saw that the atmosphere of this operation had risen, and he was more or less infected, thinking that the best outcome for Colonel Qin was to break his tail and survive, so he could save his life.

He didn't approve of Colonel Qin's dispatch of troops at the beginning, thinking that the young man was still a little too big, and His Majesty's appointment was biased.

Although the noise was much quieter, he did not stop talking, and Da Gaoqiang could even feel the eyes shooting from all directions, full of pity and ridicule, and he thought that he was strong-willed, and his face was unconsciously hot.

King Hu Yue still maintained the posture of serving wine, but his eyes had lost their previous light.

"Hey, it's all the king's fault, it's too late to regret it!"

Most of the people present understand that King Hu Yue pressed the treasure on the mascot to frustrate the spirit of the people with color eyes and improve their morale.

I never thought that the auspicious army that won a hundred battles actually capsized in the gutter and caught him off guard, knowing that this was the case, it was better not to go to the rescue, and the undefeated myth of the mascot was better than anything else. At present, the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and Hu Yue is in danger.

The group of people who were gloating just now were also worried at this time.

Although I can't get used to the mascot and arrogance, I lost my heart and was secretly happy, but the trouble that followed was greater, after the myth of auspicious victory was shattered, who could take on the important task of guarding Hu Yue and guarding the satellite peak city?

As a result, the tent soon fell into an eerie silence again.
