Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 349 The queue is waiting to be shot
The panic-stricken Tsarist Russian army began a large retreat. They left behind their accompanying artillery and luggage, and ran frantically down Mount Karen.What they were thinking at the moment was to withdraw into Shaodazigou, and then head east to the river bank to board the boat.

But now, except for the [-]nd Cossack Musket Regiment, which was beaten and unable to move on the river bank, the other Russian troops could not see the situation on the river at all.

On the left flank of the Russian army, the two companies and Hezhe hunters responsible for outflanking and intercepting had already rushed to the foot of Karen Mountain. After a short rest, they immediately launched a campaign against the Russian army with only a few weapons.

Facing the sudden attack, the Russian army's supply team was stunned at once; when they found that the road to the direction of Shaodazigou was blocked, and even hiding behind a supply vehicle full of food packages could not stop the four There was a rain of bullets flying horizontally, so they no longer cared about any gunpowder carts and food supplies, turned around and retreated along the foot of the mountain towards the river bank.The Hezhe hunters in Balk Village pursued these rout soldiers and killed the militiamen and soldiers who fell behind with shock guns or crossbow arrows.

At this time, Zhao Xin received a report from the observation post in front that the enemy's reserve troops were retreating too fast and were already approaching the foot of Karen Mountain.So he ordered three artillery pieces to intercept and shoot the retreating enemy troops; at the same time, he ordered the two companies that had rushed to the halfway of Karen Mountain to move westward quickly to block the retreat of the Russian army to Shaodazigou.

The Tsarist Russian warships on the Heilongjiang River sank and caught fire. The twenty or so warships that escaped by chance had already crossed the center of the river and retreated in the direction of the Zeya River.After discovering this situation, Zhao Xin ordered the two squads operating anti-aircraft guns and the guard company to quickly descend the mountain, and notified Monk Zhou to charge the Russian army on the river bank.

"Listen, I don't have any extra men to guard the prisoners!"

Monk Zhou understood immediately, and shouted back into the walkie-talkie: "Yes! I understand!"

As a whistle sounded on the blocking position, the Beihai Navy began to charge.A flag with a white five-pointed star on a red background suddenly rose from the ground, and the Cossacks on the opposite side finally saw who the enemy on the other side was.

At the foot of the mountain a few hundred meters away, a group of guys with grass rings and leaves on their heads and colorful military uniforms suddenly appeared. They held "guns" and were divided into groups of twos and threes. Russian feet, the spread width has reached as much as half a verst (a little over 30 meters, and one verst is 40 kilometers.) Like a big net, it is wrapped around itself.

The Cossack officers immediately beamed with joy when they saw the enemy's scattered charge.

Not even a battle line?Who gave you the courage to look down on people like this? !

"Cossacks, line up! Let them taste our strength!" Following the officer's loud order, officers from all platoons went to the open space to fight, and other Cossacks also stood up and lined up in three rows on the right side of the officer. People line up horizontally.In less than a few minutes, the three musket companies had already lined up, followed by the company commander, the flag-raiser, and the drummer.

This scene stunned the charging Bei Haijun, and they couldn't help but stop, thinking that they didn't plan to live anymore?Ready to line up and get shot?

The platoon leader of the Beihai Navy who rushed to the front said in his heart that I am a mother, after fighting so many battles, this is the first time I have encountered such a thing!The Qing army knew how to run away after being bombarded. Did these red-haired people eat and screw up at noon, or were they beaten confused?

In fact, in ancient times, the biggest nightmare of infantry was the charge of cavalry, and infantry who were not in formation had almost no power to fight back against cavalry; in the late Northern Song Dynasty, there were 15 cases of cavalry from the Kingdom of Jin driving 1500 infantry from the Song Army to run around.

In order to defend against cavalry, infantry must be heavily equipped with spears or halberds.When muskets appeared, they replaced archers and spearmen.Later, after Morris and Gustav's reforms, the phalanx became flatter and the proportion of musketeers increased. 100 years ago, the French invented the socket bayonet, so the spearman was completely eliminated.The phalanx was flattened into 3 rows, or even 1 row, achieving typical line infantry tactics.

Then some people say that in the era of flintlock guns, can skirmishers be used to attack?As long as the soldiers shoot accurately, even if they kill one with two shots, wouldn't the line infantry on the opposite side be finished? (In fact, many time travelers do this.)
Send you a word, stop dreaming!

Tell a story.It is said that in the later period of Napoleon’s expedition to Russia, the 9th and 18th Infantry Divisions of the Russian Third Western Army were ordered to stop the retreating French army on the west bank of the Berezina River. Lieutenant General Baneyev, this man enjoys the reputation of "skirmish warfare expert" in the Russian army.

萨巴涅耶夫中将让手下那群在巴尔干半岛和高加索山地久经沙场的老兵们充分发挥其散兵战经验，给正在渡河撤退的法国第二军造成了相当杀伤。这一仗哪怕让瑞士神射手过来都无法像俄国人这么凶残——4个瑞士团战前总共有1300人，战后被打的只剩了300人；其中瑞士第2步兵团损失最为惨重，最后只活下来2名军官和12名士兵。

Seems awesome, doesn't it?But then the French army taught this "expert" a lesson.Marshal Ney of the French army seized the good opportunity of the loose formation of the Russian army, and decisively commanded the 4th, 7th, and 14th Cuirassier Regiments with a total of 400 people and the 2nd, 7th, and 15th Polish Lancer Regiments with about 700 people. Violent impact.Finally, with the assistance of the French Second Army Infantry Army, more than 1000 French cavalry defeated two entire Russian infantry divisions, not only captured more than 600 prisoners of war, but also eliminated the threat of the Russian army to the French flank. nearly four kilometers.

Monk Zhou led the orderlies and strode up behind the platoon leader who was in a daze, kicked the other party's ass, and cursed: "Kang Youcai! Why are you so dazed?!"

The leader of the row, Kang Youcai, staggered "Ouch", turned to Monk Zhou and said, "Company commander, are they planning to line up to die?"

"I don't care whether he dies or not! Your lord's order is to attack, to destroy!" Monk Zhou shouted angrily, and then ordered the machine gun team that followed: "Give me a hard hit, as long as there is one standing, You can't stop!"

After speaking, he put on a very arrogant posture, holding an assault rifle and opened fire at the Russian infantry 300 meters away.

have to!The company commander has spoken, so let's call.

Under the crossfire of nine machine guns, the Cossacks with their chests up and their muskets on their shoulders were like targets. A puff of blood and broken limbs exploded in the Tsarist Russian infantry. Other infantry squads also opened fire heavily on the enemy.

Ten minutes later, when Zhao Xin's guard company caught up, [-] soldiers from the Second Transbaikal Musketeer Regiment survived, and none of the officers were spared.

Monk Zhou didn't see Zhao Xin and Chen Jishan among the people in the guard company, so he told a platoon leader of the guard company to let him lead people to clean up the battlefield, and he took the captured Cossack officer's knife and led the team They chased north along the bank of the river.

Zhao Xin did not go down the mountain with the guard company, he only left a few personal guards such as Chen Jishan and Yin Weibing; after the rest of the guard company walked away, Zhao Xin asked Chen Jishan and the others to guard around, and he went to the anti-aircraft gun position and walked around , and then went down the mountain with his assault rifle.

It was the second time for Chen Jishan, Yin Bingwei and others to follow Zhao Xin. When they went down the mountain, they were extremely vigilant and guarded Zhao Xin tightly, for fear of knocking or bumping into anything.

In the eyes of these personal guards, Zhao Xin is no longer considered a human being, and he is still the kind who will become an emperor in the future.

In fact, in Beihai Town, except for a former young eunuch Chunlai and a few old eunuchs who guard the gate and do odd jobs, no one has ever seen the real emperor.And because these former eunuchs were heavily attached to and overworshiped the imperial power, the emperors they heard from them did not belong to the human level.

I can't wait to open my mouth to talk here, and the flowers in the imperial garden over there will be in full bloom immediately; I pray to God for rain today, and rain will fall everywhere tomorrow.

The real dragon emperor, what else could it be if it wasn't the reincarnation of a god?But Chen Jishan now feels that what Chunlai told him about Emperor Qianlong is nothing compared to the one behind him!
"Ah Choo!" Zhao Xin sneezed three times in a row, rubbed his nose, and said to himself, who is talking about me?
When he led his men to the foot of the mountain, the first guards and the others had already finished cleaning the battlefield. They carried out Zhao Xin's orders most thoroughly. They didn't keep a single prisoner, and they all stabbed them with bayonets once they died. Whether it's a broken intestine, missing arms or legs, or lying down and pretending to be dead.

Chen Jishan picked out the most majestic Cossack horse among the several Cossack war horses gathered, led it to Zhao Xin and asked, "My lord, where are we going next?"

"No horse riding, let's pass through Aigun City." After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he stopped after taking two steps and ordered Chen Jishan: "Notify the artillery positions and let them pay attention to the movements of the Qing army, so that they won't be copied by others." back road."

Twenty minutes ago, the Qing army on the second line of defense in the north of Heilongjiang City was about to retreat, but Luo Sha turned around and left.At this time, no matter how stupid the Qing army was, they knew that this must have something to do with the constant explosions in the north.

"Where did the righteous people come from and copy the gunpowder depot of the Rakshasa?" The deputy governor, Eredimbu, received a report from his subordinates, saying that he had helped the Hezhe people beat up more than 100 Rakshasa cavalrymen. He was half dead, and finally let his side get a big deal, and became even more confused.

Only then did he feel that this must have something to do with the unknown fleet that came yesterday, but is it that Ge Shanda (the township head) has such a great appeal that he can summon thousands of Hezhe people?Yes, Eredombu thinks that there are only a few thousand people, so such a big battle will definitely not be able to be fought.

And after such a big victory, those Hezhe Yimin must have suffered heavy casualties.

At this time, if someone told Eledombu that the group of rebels from the south had come, he would definitely not believe it.With thousands of miles of water, it would take a month to get here even by boat from Ningguta; what's more, Ningguta is now gathering tens of thousands of troops. Ask that Marshal Ming if he agrees.

(Bright hands up in a coma, no comments at all!)

Although Luo Sha withdrew, Ered Mubu did not give the order to pursue, because he had only so many soldiers in his hand, and he couldn't afford it.If Hulunbuir's [-] reinforcements arrive, he will definitely be the first to lead people out.

So Xiaoqi School, who took fifty Sauron soldiers to pick up a big bargain, received an order again to scout north to find out the enemy's movements and the location of reinforcements, and asked the unknown head of Hezhe to come to Heilongjiang City to see him.

The fire in the old city of Aihui is still going on. The oldest military fortress in Heilongjiang, which was built in the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, was completely destroyed.

In a courtyard where there was no fire, Chen Jishan and the others found two Mongolian horses that were saddled and decorated gorgeously, which surprised several people.These horses didn't run away, they were tied well, and then the guards searched the courtyard carefully, and soon found a half-sized boy in the corner of a wing.

When the child was found, he was holding a knife in his hand. When he saw Chen Jishan coming in, he jumped out from behind the firewood pile, and the sharp blade pierced Chen Jishan's chest.

Isn't it a joke to use a knife with an expert in Chenjiagou?Chen Jishan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, he leaned back quickly and waited for the opponent to exhaust his strength, then he pushed the boy's shoulder with his right hand, so the half-sized boy turned around on the ground with the knife a few times, and then fell down with a thud.After he fell down, Chen Jishan lifted his neck and led him to the yard before he could tell the difference between east, west and north.

"My lord, I found such a child."

Zhao Xin looked at the child in front of him, although the clothes were dirty, but the material was actually satin, and he was wearing a roe deer hat on his head.He then smiled and asked, "Little guy, what's your name? Is this horse yours?"

Hearing Zhao Xin's extremely fluent Beijing film, the child was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw that the people in the yard were not Rakshasa with blue eyes and high nose, but the same yellow skin and black hair as himself; The clothes and weapons in his hands have never been seen before.

Yin Bingwei on the side said in a deep voice: "My lord is asking you something, why are you in a daze?"

The child thought for a while, then stumbled and said with great effort: "You, you are from Beijing, from the capital?"

"Yo, you can understand what I say!" Zhao Xin was extremely surprised. He really didn't expect that there was a child in such a remote place who could understand official Chinese.

"I, I'll go with Ama and I've been to the capital."

"Oh, what about you, Ama?"

The child's expression sank and he said: "I went to beat Rakshasa yesterday, but I didn't come back."

Zhao Xin asked again: "What about the rest of your family?"

"Er Niang is long gone. I got separated from my family last night."

"Is this horse yours?"

"Yes, I pulled them out of the burning yard, the yard. I, if I don't save them, they will be burned to death."

Zhao Xin kept looking at the boy while he was speaking, and saw that he had a strong figure and a simple and honest face, and there was no cunning in his eyes when he spoke, so he asked, "What's your name?"

"Oolong."

"Oolong tea?" Zhao Xinxin said, why do people still use this name?

"That's right, it's oolong, without the tea behind."

"Hezhe people?"

"Sauron."

"What's your last name?"

"Dahur Eji."

Zhao Xin nodded, and then said to Chen Jishan: "Give him a few compressed biscuits, let him hide in the south. The fire in the city is still on, it's too dangerous, we have to go."

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as the words fell, Wulong raised his head and asked Zhao Xin, "Are you an adult?"

"Yes."

"Then where are you going?"

"Go to fight Tsarist Russia, oh, it's Rakshasa."

"Then, can I go with you?" Wulong hurriedly said after asking, "I can ride a horse, and I can shoot arrows accurately."

Zhao Xin smiled: "Really? What about your bow and arrow?"

Wulong turned around and ran into the wing room where he was hiding just now, and found his ebony bow and quiver from behind the firewood pile.

Zhao Xin shook his head with a smile and said: "You can't do this, Luocha uses muskets, and bows and arrows can't reach them."

"Then, then I will lead the horse for you." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the two horses in the yard and said, "I will give this horse to you, sir."

"Don't! The battlefield is dangerous, bullets don't have eyes, grab your things, ride your horse and go to the south, maybe you, Ama, are there too."

After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he walked out of the yard without looking back.Chen Jishan stuffed a few pieces of compressed biscuits into Wulong's hand, and said: "Listen to your lord, let's go, the city is too dangerous, the fire may burn over at any time."

A group of people left the west gate of the old city of Aihui amidst the smoke and fire, and then headed north.
