In the Thousand Buddha Cave, the golden statue of the smiling Arhat looked happily into the distance, as if he was praying for the blessing of the fertile soil, wishing everyone living here to live and work in peace and contentment, but he may not have thought that at this moment, on the wasteland in the distance in front of him, nearly two thousand war horses have been entangled and killed together. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

"Kill."

In the distance, a rebel cavalryman raised a scimitar, shouted violently, and rushed towards Uliji.

Uligi squinted his eyes and spat disdainfully. , When I used to take a big knife and bow and arrow, I would probably really fight to the death with the other party, "Let's see who chops who to the ground first, but now!"

Uliji suddenly slapped the war horse, and the war horse that had been with him for many years seemed to guess the master's thoughts, "suddenly rushed out like an arrow, if you look at it from a high altitude, it seems that the two war horses have become two head-on collision bullets, the horse's hooves fly down, the sound of hooves is dense, and when he sees it getting closer and closer, and even can see the opponent's hideous red eyes, he suddenly shook the reins again" I saw the war horse tilt its head suddenly, and it actually dodged to the right side of the other party.

"This is the Mongol cavalry? Or is it a timid Han barbarian? The rebel cavalry was stunned by Uliji, who suddenly moved his horse away, and he didn't expect that the Mongolian cavalry, who claimed to be the king of the steppe, would also dodge timidly, and immediately laughed, but when he was about to sneer and laugh a few words, a large area of whites suddenly rose in his eyes.

I saw that the deviated Uligi did not flee after avoiding it, but leaned forward violently, and after the upper body was almost completely attached to the horse's back, the right hand that had been hanging down was raised abruptly, and the rifle crossed an arc, "When the left hand just grasped the butt, without aiming at the muzzle, a ball of sparks had already erupted."

The rebel cavalry looked at Uliji's movements blankly, saying that it was slow, but in fact, this series of movements was just a blink of an eye" When he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, he suddenly remembered that the other party's movements just now were the riding and shooting posture of the Mongolian cavalry across the grassland.

Yes, mounted shooting!

Speaking of cavalry archery, there are many people who know how to "There are also not weak masters in the Northwest cavalry, but they often have straight bodies when riding and shooting, and it is impossible to maintain high horse speed, which is far inferior to these steppe riders who have lived on horseback since childhood."

At that time, the Mongolian cavalry relied on this unique cavalry and archery ability to crisscross Europe and Asia, and many of the cavalry who were against it were fired into a hornet's nest before they even got close.

This is the ability of the Mongolian cavalry to watch the house, "in addition to superb equestrian skills, it is also related to the fact that they carry their own war horses when fighting, only these war horses that grow up together, can do the same heart, can understand every command of the master."

Now, the ancient art of mounted archery, equipped with a rifle, is on the upper floors. On his side, because of the repeated difficulties of the Russians, only a few people got rifles, and the others were like him with broadswords against the enemy.

A large amount of blood loss made the rebel cavalry finally unable to hold on, "fell off the horse and smashed his back on the wasteland, although the bullet just failed to kill him directly, the blood loss and falling from the horse made him unable to move, "If he is not rescued, he can only wait for death slowly in this wasteland where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back".

But can you still be saved?

"Silly bird, I actually forgot our Mongolian housekeeping skills, and besides! What age is this, and who still fights with you. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Uliji's eyes curved into a thin crescent moon, and after muttering a few words, he rode his horse and rushed towards the next target.

On horseback, Ma Baihe brandished a Russian-made Nagan revolver, "Around 100 people equipped with Russian-made rifles formed a circle, desperately resisting the Mongolian cavalry trying to approach" But these guys are too fast, and when shooting, the upper body is pressed on the horse's back, almost forming a whole with the war horse, and constantly changing the running line, plus the rate of fire of the rifle in his hand is very "almost no need for a bolt, so the Mosinagan rifle with a low rate of fire cannot fight at all." What's more, the other party has one gun per person, and on his side, there are only one elite hundred and ten people equipped with cavalry guns, and they are not opponents at all.

Seeing that people around him kept falling, Ma Baihe finally understood that these were not those jerky Han cavalry, but Mongolian iron cavalry that was free on horseback and armed with weapons!

"Let's go!"

Seeing the rangers' companions fall one by one, Ma Baihe gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat, and at the same time took the lead in slapping his horse and running west. The partners around him who were beaten so much that they couldn't even lift their heads also hurriedly slapped their horses and fled.

But he forgot, in this way, it is equivalent to leaving the back to the opponent, if it is the era of mounted archery, it is fine, because the range of the bow and arrow is short, and now the range of the cavalry gun is much farther than the bow and arrow, there is no grappling, and after not being afraid of hurting their partners, the Mongolian cavalry no longer has restraint "withdrew the foot and chased wildly, and the bullet was like a raindrop to drag the opponent off the horse who had no time to escape."

Ma Baihe turned his head, his eyes were on fire, but he couldn't change the order at this moment, "I can only run as much as I want, but just a few minutes later, the bursts of yellow dust that surged up in front of him made his heart fall to hell all of a sudden."

"Report, the battle of the Thousand Buddha Caves has ended, a total of 700 enemy cavalry killed, 300 prisoners, in addition to ——。" "Kill!" Before the staff officer finished speaking, Sun Jiugong had already interrupted him, and his eyes were cold: "The troops continue to disperse, I originally planned the route to search for the target, and we don't have time to take so many prisoners on the road!" ”

"Yes.

The staff officer has worked with Sun Jiugong since Cuba, so he knows his character very well, he is the kind of officer who grasps the battlefield ability and has a good study of cavalry and surprise attacks, but sometimes he has flaws in his personality and must be reported, not to mention that the matter of Yanchang Oil Field has deeply stimulated him, and he is already very self-controlled without ordering to kill all the Hui people he sees.

But then again, the territory is really too big, although the four cavalry divisions in their hands are divided into forty battalions and all separated, but the area that can be controlled is not large, it is indeed impossible to fight with prisoners, and quickly consume the opponent's war potential, including a large number of killing the opponent's living forces, forcing the opponent to either retreat to the nest and wait for death, or come to a decisive battle with himself.

Now look at how clever it was to quickly solve Mongolia and take these guys into their arms, these guys who grew up on horseback are indeed natural warriors, after rigorous training, equipped with cash guns, they are simply like a tiger with wings, "the three found that the enemy target lasted only an hour" and were surrounded and annihilated by the friendly forces that kept coming.

They are natural cavalrymen, and at this moment, under the organization of tactics, they have become a book that comes as soon as they read it. Packs of wolves roaming the desert form a dense web "in tandem with a large number of shortwave radios", combing through them like grates.

Sometimes they attack alone, sometimes they gather into large packs of wolves, and now they are beginning to take shape, and for a while they will be a nightmare for all enemy forces.

As soon as the staff officer asked the communications officer to issue an order, he felt that the car began to slow down slowly, and he hurriedly opened the curtain to look outside, and turned back and said: "Commander" Urumqi has arrived. ”

"Ten naval guns, it's true!"

When the eight naval guns roared at the same time," Hipper clenched his fists sharply, he did not expect that after his pleading, "Limer would actually agree to him," allowing him and several other German naval officers to observe the opportunity to observe the actual combat exercises on this trip.

After taking control of Borneo, "the visiting formation had a lot more choice of shipping routes, so it did not go as usual, but plunged headlong into the Java Sea" from the islands of Java and Sumatra into the Indian Ocean, and then continued south along Sumatra" to avoid the busy Strait of Malacca.

Due to the scarcity of ships on this route, the formation could use some uninhabited islands along the way for training, so there was this well-arranged artillery training.

If Philettmann had learned that "the commander of the Far East of the British Empire had not been able to stand on the deck to watch the bombardment", and at this moment a German naval colonel had the privilege of observing it up close, I don't know how he would feel, but at least Hipper was really shocked.

Although it was only six rounds of fighting, the fire that exploded on the distant island had already proved that this test ship in Yan Fu's mouth had actually met the operational requirements and could be fully put on active duty!

Behind him, the sailors began to urge them to leave, "With three years of experience, Hipperle knows very well the attitude of these sailors towards orders" and had to suppress the idea of going inside this warship to take a closer look and walked to the side of the ship, but before he could take a few steps, suddenly several figures that had entered the cabin made him stop suddenly, "The familiar military uniform that remained in the retina stinged his eyes like a sharp needle!"

French Navy uniforms!

How can it be? How can there be a man in the uniform of the French Navy here? Could it be that Yan Fugang's sentence that he wanted to sell this warship to the French is true?

But why did Limer sell it to the French? Was it to win France to allow him to annex the South? It's possible!

"No! We must tell the news here to the country! "Hipper didn't think much about it, after watching the bombardment exercise just now," he added to what this battleship represented, "If France finally gets it and absorbs the technology above, then Britain's supremacy may be challenged!" In the porthole, watching the steamboat carrying several German ** officers such as Hipper leaving quickly, Yan Fu hooked the corner of his mouth, beckoned the sailors to take these temporarily invited Frenchmen back to rest, and then "I immediately walked to the steamboat on the other side."

Standing on the deck, feeling the gentle sea breeze, Li Mo took a deep breath.

Indian Ocean!

This is the world's third largest ocean, and it is also an important strategic passage connecting the Asian and African continents, but it is a pity that I don't have the energy to project it here.

If you want to fulfill the strategic dream in your mind, you can only stabilize the country first, completely solve the threat on the mainland, and have the heart to go all out into the vast sea, which is why everyone says that it is difficult to maintain a huge army and navy at the same time.

Therefore, after Li Mo looked at the Indian Ocean style for a while, he could only slowly retract his gaze, and glanced at Fang Xianqi and Duan Yue'er, who were accompanying him on a visit, "Fang Xianqi and Duan Yue'er, who were watching the scenery from a distance, turned around and smiled: "Shaochuan" Do you think the Germans will take the bait? ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled slightly: "The emperor" is not practical to make a show, and Germany will not be willing to give up this warship to others, because what they want is not this warship, but the management and retreat technology above! Without this technology, no one would have been able to build it. ”

Li Mo nodded, Tang Shaoyi said well, what countries are concerned about is indeed not this battleship, but the technology of management and retreat, according to the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Science and Technology, countries have reached the stage of the last step in the technology of management and retreat, at this time it is difficult to accurately predict the breakthrough time, it is possible to smoke cigarettes, it may take several years or even more than ten years.

Therefore, Li Mo made up his mind to take advantage of the fact that all countries had not yet broken through, and used this technology to make money, rather than guarding this experimental battleship, it was better to exchange it for something.

There are many potential buyers, but the only one who can really sell is the ambitious Germany, he believes that as long as Germany obtains the China, with the character of Wilhelm II, it will definitely require a large number of constructions "to strengthen and accelerate the confidence of Britain to fight for hegemony, so that Britain will inevitably deal with it with all its might" A Boer and fought so hard, then when he ended the Boer War, he found that the Chinese ships, which were not a big threat in the Far East, suddenly changed their faces and came to Germany, and all the battleships of the Atlantic Fleet became scrap metal, At that time, I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of the Far East!

The war in the northwest has reached a critical time, and no one knows whether the Russians will suddenly take the opportunity to invade in a big way, and Nicholas II has always liked to act rashly, so he can only prepare for a big war as much as possible.

This is true for the mobilization of three divisions to the northern border, and the forced restoration of the southern status quo ante is also because of the northern frontier, and the sale of the Zhonghua now is also to weaken Britain's global projection capabilities, allowing him to pinch each other with the Germans.

All this seems to be relatively smooth now, but there are also surprises, that is, the United States has actually started peace talks with Cuba, and it is clear that William McKinley has foreshadowed that if the Cuban war continues, it is very likely that the United States will miss something, so even if some of the current interests are sacrificed, it is necessary to turn its attention to the important South America and the Pacific as soon as possible.

But this can't be blamed on Maceo, he really can't continue to fight, in the final analysis, the war is fought about national strength and money" In this regard, Cuba and the United States are not an order of magnitude opponent at all, plus the opponent continues to increase the number of troops" Cuba's war potential is not as good as before, and it lacks a navy, cannot break through the naval blockade and cannot get foreign aid, so negotiation has become a good choice.

Li Mo can imagine how much shock it will cause when the news of the China is transmitted back to Europe, just like the dreadnoughts in history, it will cause panic in the whole world!

"Your Majesty, Hipper begs us to stop at Bengkulu in front of us, and also hopes that we can send the three sick German trainee officers to Sumatra for treatment at once."

Sick?

Heart disease, right!

He was afraid that the Zhonghua would really fall into the hands of the French!

The corners of Li Mo's mouth were crooked, and after glancing at the two of them, he suddenly burst out laughing.
