The moonlit forest was quiet and eeri, save for the rustle of horses' hooves on the leaves.

Even though it was early in the morning, the commander of the cavalry company, Lieutenant Gabriel, did not feel sleepy, and he clutched in his hand a detailed map of the western part of the province of Lleida, which clearly marked the nearby terrain and the planned route of the march.

From time to time, he would unfold it carefully, and look for directions against the compass by the light of the moon, or by lighting a candle.

If nothing else, a 40-minute walk along the current road will take them to a key rail junction.

When the time comes...... Hmph, he subconsciously touched the high explosives mixed with nitroglycerin hanging on the right side of the horse.

At this time, his heart was filled with a sense of sacredness and mission to fight for his faith. As a fanatical believer, he simply obeyed the most pious monarch in the world, Carlos, and brandished the knife in his hand for him.

But as soon as he heard that Alfonso was actually promoting women's work, he felt that he was a demon who was completely unconventional.

In particular, the Catholic Church, which originally supported the pious Carlos, has now switched to this Alfonso! It's okay, the church is bewitched!

In this way, this operation even carries some taste of trial and revenge in it, which is why he took the initiative to sign up for this sabotage operation.

You must know that a regiment of them was divided into nine companies to sabotage the railway in different sections, and no matter who it was, as long as they encountered a large army of the enemy, it would be nine deaths and one life.

The atmosphere in the air was dull and somewhat depressing, and no one dared to speak, and even breathed softly, lest they provoke the patrolling soldiers.

Fortunately, their luck is not bad, and the wind and waves along the way are calm, and there are no dangers.

After 30 minutes, Lieutenant Gabriel stopped his horse's hooves, raised his left hand and made a gesture, and soon the entire company stopped.

The adjutant stepped forward and whispered, "Is it here?" ”

"Well, it should be." Gabriel dismounted and found a raised dirt slope with several inconspicuous oval stones stuck vertically into the ground.

“1、2、3…… 7。 Yes, yes, 10 minutes further on, you will see the railway. With the help of the pre-planted mark, he reconfirmed his position.

He beckoned and summoned a few squad leaders.

"According to the plan, each led the soldiers to blow up their targets, and then gathered at the designated location, regardless of whether everyone was all together or not, evacuate immediately at 4:50, hear no." He whispered.

After saying that, he raised the latest Wal-Mart military watch in his hand.

Seeing that all the squad leaders nodded in understanding, he smiled with satisfaction, then turned on his horse and led his troops to the target point.

The railway that they needed to destroy was more than 20 kilometers long, and it was naturally impossible to blow up all of them over such a long distance, so they could only selectively blow up the key points in it.

"Get ready for battle!" On the way, Gabriel warned.

The most dangerous goal of his mission is the intersection of two railways, and such an important position will naturally be protected.

According to intelligence, there will be 6 Catalan soldiers stationed there. Therefore, he is the only one who is acting with a full three squads.

After a few minutes, he saw a fire in the distance, and he was overjoyed, it should be the railway management point.

"What to do? Do you just call it? The adjutant asked.

Gabriel looked around, there was no special geographical location around to take advantage of, and the management point was also built on a high place with a good view.

"I can only call it directly." He said helplessly: "But it's okay, 32 people against 6 people, the advantage is mine." ”

He pulled out the Enfield M1853 rifle behind his back, which was a kind of front-loading rifled rifle that was stocked in the American Civil War.

Although there is no doubt that there is no scum left in the Chasebo rifle, His Majesty Carlos, who is not well-off, can only equip his hands with this kind of rifle.

After all, as soon as the Civil War ended, this kind of gun took up space in warehouses in the United States, and the price was really cheap.

It doesn't matter if the weapon is a little behind, it just has the number of people and faith.

Gabriel confidently led his soldiers around in a circle, ready to rush from behind.

They don't know that these behaviors are clearly visible to the people in the management point.

There were not 6 people in the room, but 12 people.

Originally, the garrison soldiers were rotated in two shifts, but after the occupation of La Rioja yesterday, Garcia asked both shifts to go up and see how things developed.

"What should I do?" The deputy squad leader asked the squad leader.

The soldiers on duty on the watchtower just now reported that there was movement in the distance, and all 12 of them had already woken up.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the other party was even more afraid of them! Catalonia has been peaceful for a long time, and they have not been in the army for a long time, and suddenly they have to fight with people, and now their legs and stomachs are shaking badly.

"They looked like they were going to rush from behind... Well, didn't we get a new Gatling gun, and go to the shooting window. The squad leader forced his composure and ordered.

The two soldiers immediately went to set up the half-man-tall Gatling.

"Weapon loaded."

The 12 rifles with a total length of 1.3 meters were unfolded, and the room was a little crowded, and the two soldiers almost scratched their own people in a panic.

"Be quiet."

They waited with bated breath for the arrival of the enemy.

The effective range of the Chasebo rifle is 800 meters, and in fact it is now possible to shoot.

But there were no sharpshooters in this room, not to mention that it was still at night, and the squad leader wisely decided to wait for the Gatling fire to be suppressed before they could shoot.

300 meters away,

"We should have been discovered." Gabriel looked at the empty watchtower.

"What then? Why don't you drop a few bombs first? The adjutant asked, trembling.

Gabriel shook his head: "Charge!" It's okay to throw a bomb, but you definitely have to get close to it. ”

Nitroglycerin, wood pulp, sodium nitrate, etc., mixed highly-made explosives, powerful and powerful, but very bulky, this distance, Alfonso did not dare to guarantee that it could be thrown to the opposite side.

"Rush!"

"Long live Carlos!"

"For God's sake!"

The people rode their horses and shouted to charge and give themselves courage.

They are not afraid of being discovered at this time, and when the gunshots are loud in a while, those who can be alarmed will definitely be alarmed.

But soon, Gabriel regretted his rash decision.

"What's that?"

On the shooting window of the house in front of him, a large cloud of smoke suddenly appeared, and there was no fire, but it was accompanied by a violent sound.

Death's roar!

"Knock knock!"

Gatling's ten barrels spun sharply, making a dull and rude sound, mercilessly harvesting the lives of his attackers.

Didn't have time to react.

Gabriel, who rushed to the front, stumbled and followed his beloved horse for 3 years, the skull had exploded, blood and brains splashed, and the horse's body fell uncontrollably.

Before he could feel sad, he felt a heavy hammer constantly hitting him, and the whole person was beaten backwards.

The pain was intense for only a moment, and his body was torn into countless small pieces like rags.

Gabriel's last thought: "Sure enough, it's the devil ......"

"Bang !!" A deafening loud bang, it was the explosion of nitroglycerin bombs being hit by bullets.

With this loud bang, the flames engulfed Gabriel-chan and his horse, and it was difficult to find any trace of their existence in the world......

In the room, a muscular young soldier with strong arms shook the crank playfully.

Sweating profusely, coupled with fear and nervousness, he could barely open his eyes, just turning mechanically, and with each lap, a puzzle piece was born.

Everyone looked at him blankly, and then looked at the hell scene outside the window, and they forgot to shoot, they were stunned by this effect, this was the first time that a Gatling gun had been put into real combat on the European continent!

Suddenly, the rotation stopped, and the soldier shook it vigorously twice, but it did not shake, it turned out that he was excited to turn faster and faster, and the machine gun jammed.

Everyone woke up from a dream and rushed out of the room with rifles, ready to mend their knives.

But of the 32 attackers, 7 of the fastest were killed on the spot, 4 were blown up, and the rest were so gallant that they turned around and ran, and they rode on horseback, where could they catch up?

The soldiers could only shoot at their backs, and under the indiscriminate shooting, only one unlucky man fell from the horse.
