The two teams of Mongolian cavalry collided together like Mars hitting the earth, and the platoon of guns "crackled". The Ming army used firearms relatively early, and the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division lay on their horses, and the muzzles of their guns stretched out vertically.

Gerdan's men were a bit tougher, and they had guns in their hands. I didn't aim either, and threw out a shot at random. Don't look useless to aim, but the accuracy is very scary.

They gave full play to the tradition of shooting people and horses first, and specialized in shooting war horses with relatively large targets. Even a war horse with strong muscles and thick skin and thick flesh has to rest if it is hit by a bullet.

Fortunately, the Ming cavalry did not charge with all their might, and their war horses were just trotting. has entered the age of firearms, who still plays cavalry hedging. The cavalry trotted well, and even if the horse was shot, it would only fall from the horse's neck. Dust off your body and do it when you start a gun.

Unlike those Mongols who were screaming and charging wildly, the war horse was knocked down by a shot, and the lucky one fell with a blue nose and swollen face. Unfortunately, he broke his neck and spine directly. Lying on the ground, "oops", "oops" is annoying.

When Man Gui arrived at the battlefield, it happened to be the first wave of cavalry to hedge. The Mongols hung up their rifles and pulled out their sabers. They are still used to slashing with sabers!

The Ming army was different, the rifles were loaded with shiny bayonets. A moment before the sprint, still shooting. In this case, the Mongols suffered a big loss.

The first cavalry collision, the Mongols fell off their horses one after another, and only a few unlucky people fell off their horses on the side of the first cavalry division of the Ming army.

The cavalry on the steppe fights, in fact, a bit like the navy. Both sides charge, then straighten out the formation and move on to the next charge. Cavalry is constantly charging and fighting with the enemy.

Mangui's tactics were the same as those of the Mongols, and he would not order an army to charge all the time. Their charge alternated the situation, and a splash of people rushed through. They will return to their main formation, and then another wave of people will follow. In this way, the horsepower can be maintained as much as possible, unlike the Mongols, who are so tired that they are foaming at the mouth, and they are still urging with their lives.

The physical strength is close to the limit, and no matter how much you urge, it will be in vain.

The more Geldan fought, the more frightened he became, all of them were fighting with guns, and his subordinates seemed to have some advantages in their heads. But among the people who died, their own people died much more than the Ming army. Usually the Mongols had to kill two people before they could take out one Ming army.

Now he regretted a little why he had let Dorgon go with five thousand men carrying the spoils of war. If there were these 5,000 people, he was sure that he could keep the Liao army here.

The intelligence was actually transparent to both sides, and Geldan knew that the Liao army only had such a cavalry division. As long as this cavalry division is gnawed away at any cost, the Liao army will no longer have large-scale formed cavalry. It will be very beneficial to the war in the northwest.

As for how many of his own people died, this is not included in Gerdan's calculations. As soon as he killed the 1st Cavalry Division, he returned to the Ili Valley and was a hero of the Mongols. As long as you climb the heights and shout, you will immediately gather followers.

It would be wonderful if, by the way, he could squeeze out Arabutan and become the future heir of the Dzungar Mongols.

Man Gui saw that the situation of the battle had developed in his favor, and immediately called for artillery. Under the cover of a cavalry regiment, the artillery regiment came forward, and mortars smashed into the Mongol positions with a whistling whistle.

The Mongols, who were already in danger, were smashed by the rain of cannonballs and immediately dispersed. Because of the lack of pack horses, Geldan did not carry mortars. He believed that the rifle and grenade in his hand were enough to deal with the poorly equipped Geritu.

Once the army is dispersed, even Da Luo Jinxian can't do anything. Everyone wants to run for their lives, and they don't want to be the substitute ghost in the back.

Geldan still wanted to hold on, but he was pulled on the fastest horse by the guards. Even if you were Geldan, you wouldn't be able to gather the scattered Mongol soldiers now.

"Huh! After chasing for thirty miles, the troops were collected, and the poor Kou Mo chased. "Looking at the corpses everywhere on the steppe, the Mongols lost at least 4,000 people this time. The Mongols still have a certain combat power, and if they pursue too fiercely and are ambushed by the Mongols, it will be more than worth the loss.

After chasing and killing for a while, he killed hundreds of Mongol soldiers. Man Gui immediately asked people to return to the capital to report the victory, but unfortunately there were few prisoners caught. Otherwise, a prisoner sacrifice ceremony will be even more popular.

Look at these bastards, who would dare to say that riding a division eats more and occupies more.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

When the good news reached the capital, Li Xiao had just finished fighting with Ao Canghai.

In the past few years, I have been used to eating more and occupying more, and the charming eyes of the silver dollar of the white flower, I want Ao Ye to spit it out, which is so easy.

However, when Ao Ye saw a whole howitzer and a group of Makqin heavy machine guns, he quickly changed his mind. Ao Ye is actually similar to Li Xiao, and he can be regarded as a pure soldier, a soldier, where is there anyone who doesn't like weapons.

Thirty howitzers, a hundred heavy machine guns. This is the price of Ao Ye's withdrawal from the business world, Ao Canghai stroked the thick bolt of the howitzer. It looks like touching a woman's ass, it's disgusting!

At the end of the day, a soldier is meant to fight. Achievements on the battlefield rely on these weapons. I heard that the Mongol guys are not bad now, rocket artillery, mortars and everything.

Li Hu's regiment was relatively well equipped, but it didn't survive for a day and was crippled. Less than a third of the people in the whole group survived, and one Li Hu was seriously injured and is now lying in the hospital in the capital.

Money is such a thing, you have to live to spend it. If you don't have a life to spend, you can have more money to use for a bird.

Li Hao returned to Beijing, and he rode a fast horse all the way back to Beijing from Tongguan. Although the third brother always bullied himself when he was a child, the third brother was the third brother after all, and when he heard that Li Hu was about to die, Li Hao returned to Beijing without caring about anything.

When Li Xiao returned to Beijing, the first thing he did was to visit Li Hu in the hospital.

"Uncle!" Two children who were playing on the lawn outside the hospital immediately pounced when they saw Li Xiao. The two old mothers next to them hurriedly bowed down!

"Your dad is better!" Li Xiao picked up the big girl, and his eyes glanced around, but he didn't see Yanrong or Xiaohong.

"Daddy always sleeps when he lies in bed, and he doesn't wake up when I call him. The fourth uncle is here and has brought us some fun, you see. The big girl held up a little man made of white stone.

Li Xiao took it and took a look, it was carved according to the appearance of the eldest girl. Although there are some differences between the eyebrows and eyes, Li Hao can't see the big girl a few times a year.

Blue sky jade, I don't know where this kid found such a good blue sky jade. But the things in the world are for people. Even if Li Hao carves a robot cat, Li Xiao will not feel violent.

"Let's go! Go with your uncle to see your father. Picking up the two children, Li Xiao walked into the hospital.

Li Hu's ward is very spacious, and it is an exaggeration to say that he plays basketball, but he is absolutely fine with playing badminton.

Li Hao sat in front of Li Hu's bed, and Xiaohong stood aside to accompany him. Yanrong held a small mirror in one hand and an object in the other hand and scribbled on his mouth.

The lipstick thing was finally born, and it is said that Xie Youcai made it up. Because of the lipstick, Xie Youcai made a fortune. The big teapot of the brothel doesn't tinker with women's things, but what they do. Li Xiao felt that he was a bit of a waste of talent.

Seeing Li Xiao coming in, Yanrong hurriedly stood up. The lipstick was drawn crookedly in a hurry, and it was very funny on the face.

"Big brother!" Li Hao stood up.

Eighteen-year-old young man, tall and strong, with a healthy little buckwheat color.

"It's back! The bones of the body have grown strong, too. Li Xiao held Li Hao's shoulders and looked Li Hao up and down.

The lower jaw has grown a clump of fluff, and the shoulders are thick and strong.

"I rushed back from Tongguan three days ago, and a horse ran to death. Over the years, he has walked on two legs, and he has really never ridden a war horse. Li Xiao noticed that Li Hao's posture was a little strange. A person who has no deep riding skills, galloping all the way from Tongguan to the capital, I am afraid that his butt will be broken into eight petals.

"Third brother, he ......!" Li Hao glanced at Li Hu, who was lying on the boat with his eyes closed.

"If you look at the creation, you may wake up soon, or you may not wake up for the rest of your life." Li Xiao looked a little lonely, glanced back at Yan Rong, and Yan Rong took a step back.

Li Hao rushed back in three days, but Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet. You must know that there are airships on Changxing Island. There are also trains on the shore, and now the trains in Liaodong can go all the way to Lushun.

"The Mongols of the dog day."

"Don't talk about this, the Mongols have resorted to fighting for their lives. Your third brother didn't expect that he suffered a big loss under the sudden encounter.

These peoples of the steppe, they have no strategy but are very cunning, they are uneducated but very brave. Sometimes, these two things can make up for the lack of equipment.

All right! You've just come back, don't say that. Let's go home and rest first, and let's have two cups together in the evening. I can drink two cups! ”

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'm going to see Mr. Sun and discuss something with him. You don't know yet, Man Ye fought a big victory in the Horqin grassland. Dozens of people were taken prisoner alive and more than 4,000 enemies were annihilated. The fat and thin Geldan is on the run, and the good news has reached the capital. When the captives come back in a few days, they will come to the noon gate to offer the prisoners to boost the morale of the people. Li Xiao's tone was filled with excitement.

"What a good thing! Big brother, I also have an idea to discuss with you, I don't know what you mean. Li Hao suddenly twisted a little.

Li Xiao was very surprised, could it be that it made the belly of a girl bigger? Li Hu has done this, and he and Li Xiu have no bad deeds.

"Say!" Li Xiao glanced at Li Hao playfully.

Li Hao put forward Wu Ciyou's suggestion, and finally honestly said that this was Wu Ciyou's suggestion and had nothing to do with him.

After saying this, Li Xiao's favor increased greatly, and his younger brother was afraid that he would not have credit. To be honest, this kind of simple child needs to be rewarded.

"I'm going to see Mr. Sun in a moment, and he has the final say on internal affairs. You know that your eldest brother is a good hand at war, and when it comes to managing internal affairs, he is blind. When I think of such a mountain-like music, I wonder how Sun Lao survived to this day. Li Xiao remembered those official documents, and he had a splitting headache.

"That's good, I hope Mr. Sun can agree with Wu Ciyou's opinion. In this way, the new railway can not only be built quickly, but also reduce the number of deaths. It is not easy to penetrate Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain from the capital, and it is not easy to drill mountains and make holes. ”

"Let's talk to Mr. Sun in a moment." Li Xiao put his arm around Li Hao's shoulders and glanced at Yan Rong.

"Wait well, it will be your benefit for the tiger to wake up."

"No!" Yanrong and Xiaohong hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

"Uncle, are you leaving? You didn't even play with me? The eldest girl pulled the corner of Li Xiao's clothes, and looked at Li Xiao and Li Hao with big watery eyes, almost making the brothers unable to leave.

When he came to Sun Chengzong's study, Sun Chengzong was wearing reading glasses, looking Li Hao up and down, and said that he was a good offspring. I will ask for a beautiful mother-in-law in the future!

"Old Sun, your granddaughters are like flowers and jade. If you're hooked up with my brother, you don't want to complain. "It's a rare opportunity to make a joke with the old man," Li Xiao said with a smile.

"If the fourth master falls in love with my daughter, the old man will never stop him."

The topic was a little crooked, and Li Hao was very embarrassed. However, Li Xiao quickly shifted the topic to the matter of building the railway!

"From the capital out of the Yongguan, and then through the foot of the Yin Mountain and finally to the northwest. That's a good suggestion, but it's just that there are grasslands along the way. If there is a problem with security, then our losses will be great.

In addition, the construction of railways should not only consider the war, but also consider the economic impact of the trains along the way. Take the railways in Liaodong and Hebei as an example, if the train is built in one place, the flow of goods in that place will be accelerated. The local area will soon become rich, and the counties that used to be so poor that they could take medicine and subsidized by the imperial court have now begun to pay taxes after the train.

From Beijing to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to Gansu. Although the road looks a little harder, once the railway is completed. The vast northwest will become the territory of our Han family, and the poor Guanzhong will become rich again. Sun Chengzong heard Li Hao's opinion and immediately began to refute.

"Mr. Sun, you can't say that. Now that the military situation in the northwest is urgent, and the transportation of food and salary is huge, the imperial court can first build a railway on the northern line. Then slowly build a railway from the capital to Xi'an. The kid is in charge of surveying and mapping, and I don't know what the railway will build, but it will take two or three years to survey and map in Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain, which is still a case of no variables.

Besides, this railway can still drive the economy along the way. It's just that it can't drive Shanxi! As for security, my eldest brother said that Manye's 1st Cavalry Division successfully thwarted the invasion of the Mongol Dzungar Division.

As long as we have a wide range of eyeliners in border areas, and airships are not suitable for garrisons to patrol in real time, it should not be a big problem. This is just a little bit of the boy's opinion, and I ask Mr. Sun to adopt it. ”

"Okay, you Li Hao, what you said is reasonable. The old man was speechless!

But you're right, the war in the northwest is tense. Baggage transportation is too expensive. When a pound of rice arrives at the front line, it's good to have half a pound left. I agree to this matter, you will go to Shi Kefa tomorrow and tell him about your route plan. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Sun!"
