When: 12/16/60, just after 11 o'clock in the evening.

Location: In the western Liaoning region, on the edge of the Liao River, which has been frozen, in a relatively low depression.

"Special! Why is this hellish place so cold, and after a while, I didn't get killed by the Eight Banners under Yuming, but I was frozen to death here first. ”

After raising his hand and wiping a handful of two large snots that had been frozen out of his lips.

Mr. Nanzawa, a tea profiteer living in the south, whispered such a sentence in his mouth in a voice that only he could hear.

Suddenly, several thick streaks of mist erupted from his nostrils and mouth.

At first glance, it looks like a working chimney.

After waiting for a little movement, the corn in the front position immediately turned around, lowered his voice, and scolded:

"Shut up, you old boy is troublesome, be careful to alarm those Eight Banners.

They really have to be prepared and vigilant, and when the fight starts, the casualties this time will be very large; It's hard to pull out this bit of people, and you're willing to lose a lot of money here. ”

A meter away, the thick mist that could erupt from the corn mouth could still directly hit Mr. Nanzawa's face, whose eyebrows were filled with ice slag.

After saying that, the corn turned its head again.

Continuing to pay his attention, he focused on the temporary camp of the Daqing Eight Banners hundreds of meters away.

I don't know if it was because the weather was too cold at that time, or because I was too nervous emotionally, anyway, the face of this college student brother at the moment is quite ugly.

After being scolded by corn on the street, Mr. Nanzawa's mouth was still scolding, but it became silent......

According to all of the above, it means that today they are going to do it with the Eight Banners soldiers outside the pass?

That's right! More than a month after receiving the relevant news, several of the small works they had arranged in Fengtian City finally sent back the news that the Shengjing general Aixin Jueluo Yuming had officially sent troops to them.

The total strength of the Qing Army killed this time is more than 1,500 people, all of whom are cavalry troops.

What's even more outrageous is that in order to deal with the rebels whose strength is only a few hundred in Tianshuigouzi, they dispatched several times more troops, not to mention.

It was actually Shengjing's general Aixin Jueluo Yuming, who personally led people out of the Daqing Imperial Court from Yipin.

The reason why this is so, in fact, this Yuming general is also a little forced to do so.

On the one hand, under the crushing of the strength of the lion fighting the rabbit, in their opinion, this time the chaos is completely impossible to fail, and it is a general thing to hold the handle.

Therefore, in order to win the battle merits of the leader, the generals under him quarreled with each other fiercely; Distraught, Yuming simply led the troops himself.

On the other hand, these 1,500 soldiers and horses are too important for him and for Fengtian City today, and they cannot be lost in the slightest.

Saying! Don't look at the huge area outside the pass, the Daqing Imperial Court only has more than 30,000 troops stationed there.

Among them, General Sheng Jing has more than 18,600 troops, General Ji Lin has more than 9,000 troops, and Hei * Jiang has more than 11,000 troops.

Because these soldiers are all served by the Manchurian Eight Banners, and the absolute troops are all cavalry.

At first glance, Daqing seems to be still good in terms of overall strength outside the gate.

It's a pity that the above garrison standards are all old imperial calendars.

Especially in the past few years, in order to pacify the bandits in their mouths, the Daqing Imperial Court has repeatedly mobilized these Eight Banners troops with stronger combat effectiveness from outside the customs to fight those bandits.

Coupled with the generals outside the Guan, they inherited their old enemies, the Ming Dynasty's kind of craftsmanship of eating empty salaries.

Now under the command of General Yuming of Shengjing, after counting some old and weak, there are only about three or four thousand soldiers and horses.

After removing some of the men and horses stationed in other parts of Liao Province, these 1,500 people were already the majority of the strength of Fengtian City; The only ones left were the old and infirm, who remained in the city.

Therefore, for the chaotic people in the Panshan area who could completely destroy the Panshan area under the First World War, General Yuming of Shengjing naturally did not have any doubts.

What he was worried about was that if the losses in the battle were a little greater, he would probably die of distress.

Based on the above reasons, there is a scene in which Yuming, a big green court, personally led the troops to the battle.

Special! I don't know if it's their luck or misfortune......

There is a reason for Corn to personally lead the army, and after the five people including Corn and War Elephant got together, they probably could analyze it after analyzing it according to the existing information.

But that's not important to them at all.

The important thing is that in the face of such a 1,500-strong Eight Banner soldiers, the five felt a huge pressure.

In terms of troops: In the buffer period of more than a month before, it was enough to digest some of the personnel they had recruited after they destroyed the three families some time ago.

But even so, the current strength they have is only 357 cavalry and 122 infantry, and when all added together, there are 479 people in total.

Why are there still infantry among them, isn't it because they don't have enough horses?

Even the pack horses were used up, and only 357 cavalry could be formed.

In terms of weapons: Lao Tie, a blacksmith in the modern plane, can be regarded as a mixed up in the team for several tasks, so there is no doubt about his ability.

The key is that the basic conditions are too poor here.

Although Lao Hei came, it took only a few days to use the clay blast furnace to smelt the captured weapons, iron pots, and many other iron tools into fine steel as materials.

But before he could build a weapon, he had to prioritize the creation of a steam engine, and some of the necessary machines.

So more than a month has passed, and although the various machines have been preliminarily manufactured, in the future, as long as the supply of steel is guaranteed, the speed of weapons manufacturing will be quite good.

In terms of actual output, the only short-barreled flint flint flint was produced, and a total of 37 were produced.

In short, the current military strength of Tianshuigou is called a variety of weapons, and the training time is not enough, and the combat effectiveness is really a bit bad in the eyes of the five people.

On the contrary, their opponents not only have more than three times the number.

Moreover, all of them have lived in such a harsh environment outside the gate for a long time, and they are more determined in their will to fight, and they are also more proficient in archers and horses, and they are not completely rotten Eight Banner soldiers.

Before the war, in the many wargames conducted by the five people,

Even with the strong combat power of the five of them, there is also that hand-cranked Gatling heavy machine gun as a suppressive heavy firepower.

In a frontal battle, even if they can win, casualties are terrifying.

What to do? The old way, night raids.

To put it bluntly, fighting a war is these routines, regardless of whether the night attack method is a bit old-fashioned, and the number of times it is used this time is a little too much?

Leave it alone, just use it.

Should I say it or not, the night attack tactics carefully formulated by the five people naturally have no problems; With the strength of the five of them as spearheads, the success rate is quite high under the mental calculation or unintentionality.

The real problem is that it's a bit too cold outside the gates in December, especially in the middle of the night.

Even if there is no thermometer, the temperature is still minus 15 or 6 degrees, or even lower.

After nightfall tonight, the people led the horses, which were wrapped in their hooves and mouths covered, and the process of touching them all the way here went very smoothly.

The Eight Banners soldiers in the camp didn't notice it at all.

But lying on the snow, waiting for the time to come, Mr. Nanze and several other members of the southern region were a little unstoppable.

Even in the previous mission, they had experienced the colder cold of the Western Regions, and it was uncomfortable for a while.

Obviously, he wore layer after layer on his body, and the whole person was almost wrapped like a zongzi; After lying on the thick snow, I still felt the cold continue to drill into the cracks of my bones.

The howling cold wind seemed to blow away the last bit of heat on their bodies.

That is, after warming up with internal force, you will feel better physically; It's just that their internal force is not endless, and most of the internal force will be used to touch the whistle.

can only rely on a righteous body to carry it, anyway, I feel that I have suffered a crime.

This is also the reason why the corn couldn't help but scold the street before and scolded Nanze.

Because although he is younger, his waist is healthier than that of Mr. Nanzawa, and he is theoretically more resistant to frost; But now, I'm tired enough.

The only thing to be thankful for is that even in such a difficult environment.

There were a total of 479 warriors under the command of the five of them, and now one was counted as one, and after lying down on the snow under the order, none of them moved, and made a little movement.

This shows that after a period of training, although their combat effectiveness is still a little worse, at least their discipline is quite good......

******

I took out my pocket watch, looked at the time on it by the moonlight, and found that it was only after half past eleven.

Corn, a veteran of the team, sighed with great resentment, and it seemed that even he couldn't bear it at all.

Turning his head, he whispered to a few teammates around him:

"Forget it! Still don't wait for after half past three in the morning, when this human body is the most sleepy, to move these Eight Banners soldiers.

Otherwise, if you win this battle, you won't be able to freeze out. ”

"So what are you waiting for? Hands-on~"

Mr. Nanzawa almost jumped for joy when he heard this; In the first time, he threw off a bloated animal skin coat on his body and took the lead in setting off forward.

Under the operation of internal forces, the body of this cargo obviously feels warmer.

After the first dozen or so steps after departure, the movements between the walks were still very stiff, and after twenty steps, the body still felt cold, but the movements were obviously completely recovered.

Seeing this, the war elephant, the corn, and Lao Tie also hurriedly followed, preparing to solve the sentries in the barracks first, and then open the gate of the camp and create some chaos.

Create more conditions for the raid of the great army.

Continuing to move forward from under the blind spot of the sentry's vision, it didn't take long for the four people to form a battle group, and they just touched the edge of the barracks of the Eight Banners.

Obviously, even the Eight Banners soldiers outside the gate are far inferior to the Tartars encountered by veteran old birds such as corn in the Loess Fort mission.

But in general, compared to their relatives in the pass, there are also green battalion soldiers who are much stronger.

Even when they were camping on the march, they erected a wooden fence around the camp in good accordance with military regulations.

Every short distance away, there was a sentry who kept vigil.

There are also patrols, which patrol the camp for about an hour.

Fortunately, with such a level of defense, it is still not a problem to touch it without knowing or unknowingly with the ability of four people.

Thinking that the patrol had just made a round and that the remaining time was definitely enough, the four of them glanced at each other and drew a revolver from their bodies.

The main reason for this is that the bolt will be frozen in this hellish weather.

Then, with an easy jump, he jumped more than two meters high; After a little bit of strength, he jumped into the camp of the Eight Banners.

Because there was a layer of snow on the ground that reached above the ankles, it was not loud when it landed, and it did not attract the attention of any sentries at all.

The four then divided into two groups, one holding a silent crossbow bolt for cover, and the other holding a revolver in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand and began to feel for the sentry.

Thanks to the low temperature tonight, the sentinels of the Eight Banners were also much slower to react.

The two squads set off separately, one on the left and the other on the right, and when they met at the gate, all the sentinels were cleared, but no one was awakened.

Without the slightest ink, the four of them opened the gate of the camp.

Picking up the torch and drawing a few large circles clockwise, after sending some signals to the people outside.

They took a torch and began to fire in all parts of the camp; Under the wind and fire, the fires on the tents and forage in the camp were almost ignited, and they immediately burned fiercely.

At most, two or three minutes later, the camp of the Eight Banners was full of fire......

After being burned by the burning tent, the Eight Banners soldiers in the camp were pleasantly surprised; Suddenly, a piercing scream sounded, breaking the peace of the night.

A group of Eight Banner soldiers who were sleeping soundly found someone attacking at night this time.

The problem is that at such a time, the team of sweet water ditch horses is only fifty or sixty meters away from the wide open gate.

Seeing that there was no need to hide, a group of cavalrymen who were originally leading the war horses to approach slowly immediately turned on the back of the horses and rushed over with the war horses.

Even the infantry in the rear positions strode in with all sorts of shotguns.

Then, a massacre began.

Because those Eight Banners soldiers who were so thinly clothed that they didn't even have time to put on their shoes rushed out of the tent with their weapons.

But many people are just the beginning, and they don't have time to react.

A galloping war horse rushed past them with a roar, and after the weapon in his hand beckoned, he slashed these confused Eight Banner soldiers to the ground one by one.

But then again, these Eight Banners soldiers are not as good as their ancestors.

It's not as good as the familiar Liao soldiers, Jin soldiers, and Yuan soldiers, but it's not too bad.

After General Sheng Jing of the Chinese army reacted, he immediately organized a defensive line on the spot with his own soldiers, and shouted to the rebels under his command and quickly assembled towards them.

Soon after, one or two hundred people gathered around.

After discovering such a situation, Yu Hong, who was originally rushing back and forth in the camp, immediately rushed over there with a dozen horsemen around him.

Tried to break up this group of people.

As a result, after rushing to a distance of fifty or sixty paces, twenty or thirty arrows came at me.

Six people were hit by arrows on the spot, and even Yu Hong himself was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, and one arm hung down on the spot.

After seeing such a scene, Corn almost shuddered without feeling distressed.

The key is that there are more and more Eight Banner Army in that place, and they have reached more than 300 people in a short period of time.

Under the qi irrigation dantian, a loud roar came out of his mouth: "Xiong Da, where did you die~"

"It's coming, it's called the soul~" Xiong Da also yelled in his mouth, and his hands did not slow down.

The handlebar of the carriage in front of him began to turn the Gatling in his hand after the body of the open-top carriage was blown horizontally with a shout.

Let this heavy machine gun shoot frantically at Yuming's group of people more than a hundred meters away.

That's right! Considering the necessity of keeping up with the mobility of the cavalry, this heavy machine gun was pressed onto the carriage, which can be regarded as the kind of machine gun carriage when Maozi fought with the White Army.

Mao Zi used this kind of operation a lot back then, which naturally shows that the power of this thing is amazing.

If Montauban, Grant and other senior officers of the Yin-French alliance saw such a scene, they would immediately lie down on the ground to avoid the fire.

It's just that Yuming, these Eight Banners outside the Guan, where have I seen such a modern firepower.

Therefore, when Xiong Da instinctively adjusted the muzzle of his gun, he was guarded by a group of Eight Banner soldiers, and almost put a big man here in the position where he was written on his face, and gave priority to beckoning out.

When the Eight Banners Warriors of the Depths were splashed with flesh and blood on their bodies.

The Daqing Imperial Court was born in the Blue Banner of the First Rank and was regarded as the Shengjing General Yuming, who was the highest person in charge of the military and civilians in Liao Province.

Under the high-power bullet of 14.7 mm caliber, a terrifying wound the size of a bowl burst in the chest, and he hung up on the spot.

Then, the corn turned the muzzle of the gun and continued to fire, firing at the other Eight Banners.

After a full ten seconds, the remaining Eight Banners soldiers reacted in this kind of ferocious firepower, as well as the death of their own master.

The next second later, the gathered Eight Banners fled for their lives, making such a battle completely unsuspenseful......
