"Our First Cavalry Corps, with three divisions, plus the machine guns and artillery specially strengthened to us before the war, the number of soldiers has reached 49,850 people, one man and two horses, and it is night, why the Chinese defenders in the city of Coniot have not moved at all!"

After listening to his words, Martin Van Buren also found the problem, so many of their cavalry galloped, not to mention earth-shattering but not much smaller, plus they can now see the distant blurred shore of Lake Erie and the city of Conneot hidden in the dark, which means that they are less than two kilometers away from the shore of the lake, even if the Chinese sentinels are deaf, they have long discovered their movements and made actions!

However, what is unusual now is that the small town of Coniot, which is hidden in darkness in the distance, is still silent, without even the slightest fire, as if the whole city is immersed in sleep. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wrinkled, Martin Van Lenbs was also a little puzzled and felt a little uneasy in his heart, but after seeing the elite cavalry around him that could barely be seen at a glance, his heart became more confident than ever.

"Don't worry about it, maybe the Chinese in Coniot City have already retreated at this moment!"

Hearing this, Henry Clay couldn't help frowning, although he was somewhat disappreciative in his heart, but he couldn't help but admit that there was some truth in what he said, a war of five hundred against fifty thousand. No matter how you count it, the side with the small number does not have the slightest chance of victory, rather than knowing that it has the slightest chance of victory. It is better to retreat and preserve the living forces.

"Order the troops to disperse and fan around the city of Conneot! Never let any Chinese leave alive!" Martin Van Buren exclaimed.

As his words fell, the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Corps of the United States, who were originally lined up in a long snake formation, under the leadership of their respective officers, formed a huge fan on the surface of the lake one kilometer outside the city of Coniot, and then pressed towards the small city by the lake.

"Damn, Lao Tzu's hard work for so many days has finally been in vain. The Americans are really coming!" looked through the binoculars, looking at the black pressure and the American cavalry that could not be seen at a glance. Li Baohua was so excited in his heart that he couldn't help but burst into foul language.

At this time, Zhang Zijing, the political commissar of the 13th River Fleet standing beside him, also took a few big breaths. Only then did I calm down my excitement a little.

"Alright. Lao Li: The rabbits have already entered the nest, and if we don't take action, they will run out!" Zhang Zijing patted his old partner on the shoulder and reminded.

"Oh, well, immediately send a telegram to pull the strings for me, if you let a Yankee escape, military law will be done!" Li Baohua, who came back to his senses, said viciously to the communications staff officer who was on standby at any time.

In order to ensure the stability of the mines after the cavalry trampled. This time, Li Baohua: The mines and mines they used have been specially modified, and they are not commonly used trigger mines. Instead, dozens of large chain thunder arrays were laid out, which were manually detonated by the Huo Jiajun naval soldiers who were ambushed on the lake.

Looking at the American cavalry galloping in the distance, like a tidal wave, although Li Baohua's face was calm, but from his hands that were exposed by grabbing the binoculars, he could see the nervous emotions in his heart at this moment.

"Hurry, hurry!" Zhang Zijing, who was standing on the side, couldn't help shouting.

"......Boom!" In the eyes of the two senior officers of the Thirteenth River Fleet, a loud sound that shook the heavens and the earth rose into the sky with a burst of fire and a large amount of broken ice.

From the power of the explosion, the officers and men of the 13th River Fleet quickly distinguished that this was a mine specially equipped for the use of their fleet, although this kind of mine, codenamed 'Yaksha 1', was used to block the river and deal with small tonnage river warships, and in the mine system of the Huo Jiajun, it could only be regarded as a small man, but its charge of up to 120 kilograms was comparable to the army's high-explosive bomb with a caliber of more than 250mm!

With the explosion of this powerful mine, in the ice that was still calm, suddenly remembered the continuous sound of explosions, and the dazzling flames swallowed up the American cavalry team that had been startled by the sudden explosion around them.

More than 400 Yaksha mines, more than 2,000 mines, together are nearly 100 tons of TNT. The powerful force destroyed almost everything within a radius of ten kilometers almost instantly, and the hard lake ice was even blown into pieces. The deafening sound spread for hundreds of miles, and in an instant, even the sound of hundreds of thousands of people fighting outside Yili City was suppressed.

Feeling the violent shaking under their feet, the officers and men of the 13th River Fleet, who were unprepared for a while, were shaken by the shock wave of the explosion, and when they shook their heads desperately, drove away the explosion sound that was buzzing in their ears, and looked up at the lake in the distance, they all opened their mouths involuntarily!

I saw that the lake was originally moonlight and starry, and the surface of the lake covered in silver sand was now shrouded in thick white mist, and the sound of the flowing water of the lake and the sound of ice cubes colliding with each other could vaguely see a huge hole that could not be seen at a glance, extending from the lakeside into the distance! The whole world was filled with a strange tranquility, as if the scene of thousands of American cavalry charging just now was a mirage dream.

After a full five minutes, with the cheers of one soldier after another, one soldier after another jumped up from the ground, and the position on the lakeside outside Connie Ott immediately became a sea of joy, and everyone, whether they knew each other or not, hugged each other and sang a majestic military song, celebrating this great victory!

"Lao Li, we succeeded, we won, haha......" Zhang Zijing couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and hugged Li Baohua beside him and shouted loudly.

Looking at the tears in the eyes of his old comrades-in-arms and his excited expression, Li Baohua had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of crystal tears, patted the shoulders of his old comrades-in-arms, and sighed with relief: "Yes, I finally won!"

No one knows how much pressure has been on the shoulders of the two in the past two days, although this time Li Baohua's mine meter successfully wiped out nearly 50,000 elite cavalry of the United States First Cavalry Regiment, but if this almost gambling strategy fails, then their less than 2,000 troops are likely to be surrounded by American cavalry Connie Orte, and the life and death of 2,000 people is pressed on the shoulders of the two, this pressure is too great for the two!

"Okay, Lao Zhang, don't cry!

Hearing this, Zhang Zijing hurriedly wiped the tears on his face and said with a hard mouth: "Who cried, Lao Tzu is an iron-beaten Chinese people's army, who has never shed blood without tears, just now he was blinded by the wind and sand, and dropped a few drops of sour soup! Moreover, I just saw that you, the commander, were secretly wiping tears just now!"

"Okay, you and I don't talk about the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, everyone is the same!" Li Baohua shook his head with a smile and said, "Lao Zhang, the Americans are not the only ones who bypassed the Yili Fortress to attack our flank, only one of their partial divisions came to us, and it was the Yankees who attacked the rear of Yili City who attacked the main force of the Yankees. The explosion just now, although we successfully eliminated the American cavalry, but it must have also alarmed another American ** team thirty kilometers away, I believe that it will not be long before they will come to check, and then the outbreak of war will be inevitable, so we must prepare for the next war as early as possible!"

Looking at the solemn expression on Li Baohua's face, Zhang Zijing's expression also became calm, just like what his old comrades-in-arms said just now, the next war is not far from their small army with a mixture of land and sea. Moreover, this time it is not like the trick just now, using the mines planted in advance to eliminate more than ten times the elite cavalry of itself, this time it is a real hard-hitting, life-and-death war. Thinking of this, the expression on Zhang Zijing's face became a little more solemn, and he looked at Li Baohua and nodded slowly.

"Lao Zhang, without further ado, you will lead three hundred soldiers to go to the lake for a walk first, and all the American soldiers who are not dead will send him to see the king of Hades. I'll take the rest of my troops to the east side of Connie Ott and have a good fight with the Yankees!"

After listening to his words, Zhang Zijing nodded, although the moral bottom line and life principles in his heart made him very reluctant to this kind of behavior that was close to slaughter, but he also understood that there were probably not many American soldiers who could survive the big explosion just now, and there were probably not many soldiers in their hands, and they had to deal with the next fierce battle, there was really no extra manpower to rescue the American soldiers, and the two sides were originally enemies, and they had no obligation and responsibility to use their own medicine to treat the enemy army。

"Instead of letting them struggle and die in pain, it's better to let them suffer a little less!" Zhang Zijing thought secretly in his heart.

"Report, Yili front telegram, ask us what happened to the big explosion just now?" At this moment, the communications staff officer holding the folder quickly ran over, and after saluting with excitement, he took out a piece of newspaper from the folder and handed it to Li Baohua.

Hearing this, Li Baohua looked stunned, and only then did he remember that he had not reported the ambush of the US troops with mines and mines, and the embarrassed look on his face flashed, and he looked at the young communications staff officer and said, "Come, I said you write ......!"

At 5:45 a.m. on February 10, 1885, nearly 50,000 cavalrymen of the U.S. First Cavalry Corps had just set foot on the battlefield and disappeared into the cold night outside the small town of Connie Ott, and none of them survived. This battle, which was called the 'Connie Ott Victory' by the Huo Jiajun and the 'Connie Ott Massacre' by the Americans, is forever recorded in the history textbooks.

For two years after the war, the fish in the lake were unusually large, but none of the fishermen on the southern shore of Lake Erie chose to fish here, because everyone said that the fish here were raised on human flesh. (To be continued.) )
