Chapter 30: Baya La Xiaoqi Lieutenant (Part 2)
But Alhu's luck is obviously good.
Not long after, he received news from another fifty people along the way.
"Battlefield Commander, the pontoon bridge here is still there. I have asked twenty people to guard the bridgehead, and another thirty people to guard the mountain pass. I have never seen anyone come out of the mountain road before"
Alhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the reconnaissance battalion is full of cavalry, it also carries light short-barrel artillery and mortars. Standing behind the bridge, it can form a dense fire net. It is not easy for the Han military flag to come from the city to rescue Duan Xiongfei and the others.
What's more, since it's a floating bridge and a flood season, whether it's a man or a horse that passes from above, it's impossible to stagger too quickly. As long as it can withstand the first few waves of attacks from the Han army flag, everything will be fine once the large army of Yan Dunhuang arrives.
As for me, my only task now is to win the small fort in front of me!
"Boom..."
"Bang..."
The sound of gunfire in front gradually sounded. When Alhu heard this, he was delighted first, and then frowned.
"There are also artillery on the Ulya Sutai city!"
"I must take this Karen as soon as possible and then join another one, otherwise if the Han army flag in the city goes forward regardless of death, the other one may not be able to withstand it"
This one also carries light mortars and short-barrel artillery, with a small number, one each, and the other has two short-barrel artillery and one mortar.
Karen is a small fort, about one meter high and less than one acre in the radius. It lies in the middle of the road. Karen's ten soldiers were already standing on the top of the fort with muskets!
However, all this was obviously not in the eyes of the mountain brigade soldiers. They picked up rifles about two hundred meters away from the small fort and then set up fifty pound mortars.
If a fifty-pound mortar strikes a height of more than 100 meters, it is not enough to be able to handle such a small fort built on flat ground and only one meter high.
"Bang..."
Both sides started firing the muskets!
Obviously, the range of the Han army flag soldiers in the small fort is less than two hundred meters, while the rifle of the Truqin army soldiers is more than capable of it.
Under the suppression of muskets, the two soldiers moved the mortar forward to a distance of about 150 meters from the small fort. After several rounds of muskets from both sides, they finally fired a shot!
"Boom..."
One shot happened to explode on the small fortress. The mortar was translated for a distance and then fired again. After two tricks, there was no movement on the small fortress!
At this time, a platoon of soldiers had already touched the bottom of the small fort, and then squatted down, and stood on his shoulder. As the man below stood up, the man above stretched out his hand and immediately grabbed the top of the small fort!
But he didn't do that, but threw a grenade on it first. After a "bang", the man grabbed the top of the small castle tightly, then suddenly flew into the air, pressed against the wall of the castle and jumped upwards and jumped up!
At this time, there were obviously no living creatures on it. As one soldier after another reached the top of the fort, the mountain camp occupied the small fort in less than a quarter of an hour!
Before, a small-scale cavalry battle had just happened to the north of the small fort.
After half of Alhu's men arrived here, they asked twenty people to guard the bridge and built a short wall of straw bags there. The remaining thirty riders were waiting quietly at the mountain pass. When they heard a ball of smoke and dust rolled up in front, they went up to him.
One side is dressed in the Eight Mongolian Banners of Zhenglan Banners, and the other side is dressed in the Han Military Banners of Zhenghuang Banners. Although we all know that the other side is the enemy, at first glance, both sides were still stunned.
When Duan Xiongfei arrived at this place, he knew that he had no choice but to retreat. The distance between the two sides was only a few dozen meters, and it was impossible to take a bow and arrow, so he rushed over directly!
The soldiers in the mountain camp were not frightened, and they also returned to the state of being a pistol and a saber in one hand.
After leaving the mountain pass, there was a large open area, which was very suitable for cavalry combat. However, when Duan Xiongfei's Han cavalry left the mountain pass, they went from top to bottom. Although the slope was very slow, they had an advantage after all. Moreover, when they saw the Truqins not shooting at a long range, they were naturally overjoyed when they met with their sabers.
However, when both sides approached about twenty meters, Duan Xiongfei saw another weapon in their hands. It turned out that when soldiers in the mountain camp were riding horses, they would hold the reins with their left hand holding the pistol, and the saber in their right hand was raised high.
This made the enemy on the opposite side think that the other party only had a sabre in his hand, which made the Han cavalry, all composed of the Han flag Bayala, suddenly happy. In their eyes, the narrow and thin sabre in the hands of the Truqin people was completely vulnerable, and with their own terrain advantage, wasn't it invincible to stop this rush?
Although I was still a little panicked when I saw the pistols in their hands raised, I didn't care about so much at this time. I rushed over with big guns and big swords like a storm!
"Bang..."
At this time, most of the pistols used by the Truchen cavalry were replaced with new pistols with longer ranges, but the soldiers in the mountain camp still used revolvers.
There is only one reason - a large revolver can fire shotguns!
It also has six shots, with a range of only fifteen meters, which is just suitable for cavalry combat!
The mountain pass is about thirty meters wide, and the thirty riders are coming to the scale of three rows. Although the range of each rotating pistol shotgun is short, the bullet can form a barrage of about five meters after it explodes. In other words, when the first ten people fire together, they can completely cover the entire mountain pass!
Moreover, as long as it is used properly, if the bullet explodes over the cavalry, it will be not only the front row of cavalry, but all cavalry!
"Bang..."
This revolver also loaded with six bullets. Although it was a back attack, as the cavalry in the front fell, the cavalry behind were either injured or blocked by the war horses that fell to the ground in front, and they slowed down!
"Bang..."
After three rounds of shotgun shot, Duan Xiongfei's thirty cavalry rushed to the front of the Truqin soldiers, and all the rest were shot down!
Among these two people is Duan Xiongfei. When he arrived in front of the enemy with a majestic horse spear, he was surrounded by them!
Although Alhu wanted to take Duan Xiongfei, he obviously could not describe Duan Xiongfei's appearance in the telegram. He simply mentioned, "It's best to catch the enemy leader."
The soldiers in the mountain camp here did not know who the enemy chief was, but the cluster of red tassels on Duan Xiong's iron helmet, which was obviously larger than others, exposed him.
Duan Xiongfei saw this situation and knew that the situation was hopeless. He was a martial arts Jinshi in the last year. Although he was not as prominent as his father's martial arts top scholar, all those who could use horse lances in this era were powerful and brave people. However, when nearly thirty Bayala cavalry shot down from his horse, they still scared him.
The Qing Dynasty's martial arts skills still used the same set of dynasties in history, competing with strength, martial arts, riding and shooting, and strategy theory. The reason why Duan Xiongfei's father Duan Feilong was able to be the top scorer in high school was not because of how strong his martial arts were, but because he showed that his ability was far higher than other martial artists in strategy theory.
Duan Xiongfei was a high school Jinshi entirely because of his martial arts, especially his ability to ride and shoot, and his father's factors.
The Bayala Army was the elite among the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty. In the past, only ten people of a Niulu Three Hundred Banners had the opportunity to be selected as Bayala. The conditions are now relaxed, but they are not comparable to ordinary cavalry.
These thirty cavalry are the only cavalry of the Ulya Sutai Han Army Banner. They were originally used to protect the deputy commander Duan Feilong, but they settled the account in one encounter. How can Duan Xiongfei not be ashamed and angry?
"Ah..."
However, Duan Xiongfei was indeed not afraid of death. Even though he knew that the black muzzles on the opposite side were like death, he still activated his war horse and rushed towards a Truqin soldier with his horse spear!
"Bang..."
