Chapter 210: Retreat

The reconnaissance squad galloped wildly all the way, and under the guidance of the eagle falcon, they shook off the cavalry of the Houjin Army who heard the movement and ran to check, and meandered towards Anzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Along the way, the squad leader did not have a good face, and everyone did not dare to ask what happened, so they could only cover their heads and hurry.

Xiucai was up and down on the horse, and his mood was a little depressed, today's lesson was too profound, he was originally recruited into the reconnaissance and search force, the ace team of the Xuan army, as a document recording officer.

Training, performing tasks, a few years down, can also ride horses and archery, on weekdays in the team because they have read a few years of books, quite polite to themselves, with everyone's long-term politeness, actually produced a sense of superiority. But think about it, I find this sense of superiority extremely ridiculous, the army continues to open all kinds of literacy classes, workshops, as long as the army has been in the army for more than half a year, there is no one who is illiterate, and some comrades-in-arms have caught up with him in terms of cultural knowledge, but his own martial arts have pulled the whole class back, what do I have to be proud of?

There is also the maintenance of weapons, and the squad leader has always trusted himself before, so he didn't check his weapons and equipment, but he lived up to this trust, and the more he thought about it, the more he regretted and blamed himself, Xiucai couldn't help but give himself a slap.

Gazi's war horse quietly leaned over, "Xiucai, what are you doing?" Look carefully at the road, there is a turn in front of you. ”

Xiucai immediately regained his mind and turned a winding path, Xiucai regained his strength, remembered his pistol, which failed to fire several times in a row just now, and recalled the situation at that time, the hammer was fine, the trigger was fine, and the runner was fine, it seemed that the problem should be the ammunition.

Pulling out the pistol and opening the reloading cover at the front to reveal the warhead, the current revolver does not have a hole in the back of the revolver in order to hold its breath, so it is very difficult to remove the ammunition that does not sound and reload, so it is necessary to clamp it out with small tweezers or pull it with a slender stick.

Xiucai pondered, "Anyway, I'm in a hurry now, with the riding skills I've practiced for many years, I don't need to control the reins with both hands, just reload the ammunition here, and save a situation that won't be available for a while." ”

As soon as he thought of it, seeing that he had entered a wide avenue, Xiucai loosened the reins with both hands and began to pick up the stink bullets from the revolver on the bumpy warhorse.

A loud hawk cry sounded in the north, and the squad leader ordered in a loud voice, "If there is an enemy, everyone slow down." ”

As he spoke, he slowly tightened the reins, and then looked up, watching the eagle falcon make a series of movements in the air, and at the same time translated it in his heart, as a member of the tiger ben, he was very familiar with this set of passwords.

"Enemy, 50 cavalry, 12 o'clock direction, 5 miles." After silently translating, he glanced left and right at the terrain and ordered, "Hide in the south." Then he galloped his horse towards a slightly undulating hill on the other side, and the others immediately followed.

Within a few minutes of their hiding, more than 50 Jurchen cavalry rode through the section of the road where the reconnaissance squad had just been, heading south.

When the enemy was far away, everyone went on the road again, and after a while, they heard a burst of gunfire in front, which sounded like the sound of their own 18.5mm caliber rifles, and in terms of quantity, it should be a squad.

Xuan Jun, if you win, you will raise a glass and drink together, and if you lose, you will desperately save each other. The sound of gunfire is the sound of a trumpet.

The gunfire in the distance has not stopped, but has become more and more rapid, and the sound of the rifle is mixed with the unique sound of the revolver, it seems that it has been a close fight, and the speed of everyone's horses has increased a few points again.

After turning a hill, it suddenly opened up in front of me, and I saw a squad of Xuanjun soldiers in the distance, occupying a relatively steep hill, shooting at more than 100 Jurchens, about 200 meters behind the Jurchens, there were 10 people guarding the war horses of these people.

The squad leader immediately made a decision, and the horses went towards the horses far away from the Jurchen brigade personnel, and those Jurchens obviously also discovered the reconnaissance force of this squad, and with a whistle, the Jurchens guarding the horses divided into 5 people, rode on war horses, and began to circle around the horses, and the Jurchens in the brigade also divided 20 people, holding bows and arrows and moving towards the horses.

The squad leader took the lead, leading the horse team to slide a slight arc, from the side away from the Jurchens of the brigade, close to the horses.

When the two sides gathered 200 meters, the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad at the same time let go of their hands controlling the reins, raised their four-year rifles, and after a dull burst of gunfire, the five Jurchen cavalrymen riding their horses in a circle were easily killed. Although the war horse is bumpy, it is 2 to 1, and it basically will not miss.

After this round, everyone's movements were very different, the five people in front of the squad leader, stuffed their rifles into the holsters hanging on their horses, and then pulled out their revolvers, and rushed to the vicinity of the remaining horsemen at a gallop, and when they swept past the horses, the pistol in their right hand was fired again and again, and at the cost of a war horse, they eliminated the guards.

The remaining 5 people, led by the deputy elder of the squad, stopped their horses, loaded their rifles with ammunition on the back of the stopped war horses, and after 10 seconds, a volley killed 5 enemy soldiers and caught the Jurchen infantry who had not yet entered the range of bows and arrows by surprise.

Seeing that the firepower on the side of the reconnaissance squad was so fierce, and they also snatched their war horses, the Jurchens who were constantly shooting at the foot of the mountain with a squad of Xuan Jun collectively turned around and rushed towards their war horses.

The Xuan army on the mountain naturally could not let the Jurchens easily transfer the target, and also accelerated the frequency of shooting, and the Jurchens had no choice but to divide a dozen arrows and hide behind a few big stones, while dodging the shooting of the Xuan army, while attracting the attention of the Xuan army on the mountain.

When the soldiers of the reconnaissance squad saw that most of the enemy was coming towards this side, they immediately took the old four groups as cover, and the squad leader took the rest of the people and led the horses to run first.

After the squad leader slipped out of 200 meters on a war horse at a trot, the fourth child immediately fled with his horse. At this time, the Jurchens had been attracted to a place 300 meters away from the hill, and the Xuan army on the mountain saw that the reconnaissance team that came to help had successfully retreated, and also quietly retreated from the back mountain.

Without the war horses, it is impossible for the Jurchens to catch up with the cavalry troops of the Xuan Army who have two squads, and the angry Jurchens curse loudly and non-stop.

The people of the reconnaissance squad were leading hundreds of war horses around the detour, and they heard the sound of their own military horns in the distance, and the squad leader listened carefully for a while, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin.

The squad leader turned around and shouted to everyone, "Comrades, what we saved is a cavalry company directly under the field unit brigade, they have run out of the encirclement of the enemy army, and they are thanking us." ”

"Ulla" everyone cheered together, and then led the spoils of war and continued towards their destination.

The total number of cavalry troops of the Xuan army was less than that of the Houjin army, only about one-tenth of the enemy, and the enemy army only sent a large number of sentinels, which had already made the scouts of the Xuan army clumsy.

While the reconnaissance squad was retreating, the other Xuan Army scouts were doing the same thing, which was to retreat towards their respective destinations.
