Chapter 112: Fire Tree Silver Flower Killing Night
On the evening of the fourth day of the twentieth month of the thirty-first year of Guangxu.
Zhao Chuanxin and his entourage have already arrived in Liaodi.
Liu Yonghe, an instructor in Lugang Town, led people to take charge of the escort, and when they arrived in Xingjing, the escort personnel increased from more than 20 people in the insurance team to the local anti-Russian forces in Xingjing, and the team expanded to more than 50 people.
Because Fushun had been occupied, everyone made a detour through Tieling.
At the same time, the Russian assault on the Japanese 3rd Army did not work, and the Russian army abandoned the fortified positions at Shahe. As a result, after the Japanese broke through the position, they directly detoured to the rear of the Russian Second Army on the right flank and made dumplings for the Russian army.
As a last resort, the Russian army ordered a retreat in the direction of Tieling. The useless Russian cavalry did not participate in the Battle of Mukden at all, and retreated one step ahead of the infantry and artillery. Because the formation was chaotic, the ruts could not be carried, and the roads were blocked, so the order of the entire army's retreat was disrupted, and it was even more chaotic.
And Zhao Chuanxin's team was also noisy because of the mixed personnel, and after getting closer to the Russian cavalry and seeing each other's faces, the two sides were stunned to realize that there was a group of soldiers and horses on the opposite side.
Obviously, Zhao Chuanxin's cavalry team was much smaller.
At this time, there were too many bandits and so on behind the back of the Russian army in Liaodi, and all kinds of armed forces, with dates and without dates, and Japanese spies were agitating behind their backs, which made the Russian army feel very bad.
After seeing the appearance of a group of cavalry, the first reaction of the Russian cavalry was that there were Chinese to make trouble.
But they did not attack at the first time, because at this time the Russian troops can be said to have lost their command, and the rear guards are being bombarded by Japanese artillery.
Zhao Chuanxin was the first to react, he saw that the shadows on the opposite side were all Russian cavalry, squinted and looked at it for two seconds, and then shouted to the stunned people behind him: "Turn back, retreat!" ”
So, everyone turned their horses' heads one after another.
Just after this side had run out dozens of meters away, the Russian army reacted, and some grassroots officers shouted loudly, and a team of more than 100 Russian cavalry galloped and chased after them closely.
The most panicked one was Li Guangzong, he couldn't ride well, and his face was pale next to Zhao Chuanxin, and he asked in fear: "Sir, will something happen?" ”
Zhao Chuanxin patted his head: "It's just that I can't remember so many details, otherwise I wouldn't have met the Russian army here." ”
He only remembered the main battles of the Russo-Japanese War and its outcome, but he did not know much about the details of the war. Originally, they wanted to make a detour from the south, but Liu Yonghe's friends who helped escort him claimed that the south was already under the control of the Japanese at this time.
As a result, from the north detour, I met the retreating Russian army again.
The Russian cavalry did not participate in the battle, so they were full of energy, and when they received the order to pursue, they were like wolves and tigers when they boarded, holding their anger and preparing to vent at this group of Chinese who did not open their eyes.
Seeing that the other party was chasing closer and closer, Zhao Chuanxin frowned and shouted to Liu Yonghe: "You take a large team of men and horses and return to Xingjing." Guangzong and Precious followed them. Erfeizi, you guys follow me, let's lure the Russian cavalry away. ”
Liu Yonghe's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said: "They are twice as many as us, but we may not have the strength to fight." ”
But Zhao Chuanxin looked back at these Russian cavalrymen, and the horses on the big night actually stood up in the stirrups on the stirrups, holding the cavalry knife in his hand, and let out a terrible roar in his mouth, obviously the horsemanship was exquisite, and he was the elite of the elite.
It would be strange if your own men could defeat each other.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, the rest of the insurance team will rest in Xingjing and go back to Lugang Town directly!"
Helpless, Liu Yonghe could only obey orders and part ways with Zhao Chuanxin and others.
In order to contain the pursuing Russian cavalry and prevent them from dividing their forces to chase Liu Yonghe's team, Zhao Chuanxin could only climb a small slope and start to turn back to meet him.
Bang bang bang......
In the dark night, except for Zhao Chuanxin, even the second fat man is not accurate.
Three rounds of gunfire were fired, and I don't know how many people were killed, anyway, the Russian cavalry was already chasing closer.
Maozi was indeed a militant, even when fighting with Japan, in the face of machine-gun fire, they still wanted to get close to fight bayonets, and did not take modern warfare seriously at all.
Therefore, the Russian cavalry really suffered heavy casualties in the early days.
Even now, knowing that the Chinese in front stopped firing back, they still held their cavalry swords, stood on horseback and rushed over.
Four words to describe: Fearless of death!
The Russo-Japanese War will be lost, in addition to the shortcomings in all aspects, the most important thing is the incompetence of the Russian command.
If the soldier is cowardly? That's.
If it is like the character of later generations, the Russian army may not lose.
Zhao Chuanxin was also taken aback when he saw that the other party didn't stop fighting back at all, and hurriedly got on his horse and shouted: "Attack again immediately, let's retreat, my palace!" ”
Naturally, he was anxious.
This is the biggest crisis he has encountered when he came out with the insurance team.
Gao Li crouched on the back of the horse and looked back, faintly in the night can see the Russian cavalry with hideous faces, he said fiercely: "If you can't do it, go back and fight with them, it's a big deal, I'm sure I can kill two!" ”
In terms of murder, double happiness is the best of the insurance team; In terms of ruthlessness, Goryeo is the most ruthless.
The second fat man who took the lead in front suddenly reminded him: "There is a curve ahead, everyone be careful!" ”
Everyone turned the corner without danger, but in the end, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly pulled out the spider leg and strangled the reins.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Chuanxin's heart was pounding.
He is more afraid of death than anyone else, but he also understands the truth that the more afraid he is, the faster he will die.
When he saw a horse's head appear at the bend in the bend, he threw the spider's leg back.
Then, without looking back, the horse rushed forward.
The tip of the knife spun and flew out, and at night the fire tree silver flower was as brilliant as one kind of spinning top-like firework.
The characteristics of twin metals, one end of the small metal bears the full gravity of the large metal, as long as the spider leg is still in Zhao Chuanxi's hand and does not fall to the ground, the tip of the knife can maintain a balanced height and rotate all the time.
The farthest distance of the twin metals is more than ten meters, and as soon as Zhao Chuanxin left, the tip of the knife behind him also followed.
The head of the Russian cavalry at the front was cut off as soon as it crossed the curve, and the cavalry fell to the ground with the horses.
The cavalry behind was tripped by this, and there was no time to brake in the dark night, and they also fell.
The dense cavalry immediately became chaotic here in the corner.
And Zhao Chuanxin threw the spider leg forward, and the tip of the knife was inserted back.
He grabbed the reins, turned his horse's head, and instead charged his pursuers behind him.
He flung the tip of the spider's leg out again as if he were whipping.
As soon as a fallen cavalryman got up from the ground, he felt a chill on his neck, and then the sky spun!
Zhao Chuanxin retracted the tip of his sword, and with the help of horsepower, he rushed out and slashed at a cavalryman.
The cavalryman saw that although he did not know what weapon to use like magic, he was not afraid at all, but stood on his horse to meet him.
The spider's legs squirted thin impact beams, and even made a sharp sound of breaking the air, directly cutting off the opponent's cavalry knife, and slashing diagonally from the opponent's left shoulder to the right rib.
Until death, the other party didn't understand how a person could have so much strength!
Another cavalryman, leaning sideways, stretched out his arms, and the knife in his hand pointed back slightly, ready to slash through Zhao Chuanxin's body with horsepower.
In this way, there is no need to chop it yourself, and Zhao Chuanxin will be cut into two sections.
Zhao Chuanxin knew that he would definitely not be as good as these elite cavalrymen in battle, he bared his teeth and smiled, and the spider leg in his hand flung forward again, and the tip of the knife flew out.
The cavalryman remained tilted, and then a piece of his head was wiped out by the flying tip of the sword.
The tip of the knife kept going, spinning backwards and slashing five people in succession, and finally the distance reached the limit before it began to fly back.
Zhao Chuanxin turned his horse's head again and fled.
But this time the Russian cavalry was all blocked by horses without knights and dead horses.
It happened to be in a corner, and it was very inconvenient to bypass the pursuit.
This made Zhao Chuanxin rush out a long way in an instant, and when they finally cleared the road, they had disappeared from the team in front of them......
The Russian cavalry was furious and discussed what to do next.
Someone said: "I saw them fleeing in groups, and this group of men and horses is cannon fodder to attract firepower." Instead, we turned around and chased after the other group, who thought we were being led away and would take it lightly. ”
So, the rest of the people began to turn their horses' heads and chased after Liu Yonghe and the others.
