Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 711 Attack on the Snowfield ([-])

Zhao Xin's sudden disappearance made Jiang Fan extremely panicked.In an instant, countless thoughts flooded in, and he even thought of the issue of heirs.But in a blink of an eye, he realized that Zhao Wang will "shrink the ground"!
The attackers who rode out from the forest were approaching step by step.The enemy was very cunning. After dozens of them came out of the forest, they quickly divided into left and right wings, forming a two-sided attack.Jiang Fan noticed that these people were very good at riding, and the snow under the hill was less than knee deep, so they moved very fast.

"Aim at the horse! Hit the horse!" The guard platoon leader frowned and ordered hastily.

The 12 people, including Jiang Fan, all got off their horses at this time. They either squatted or stood up with their guns, and fired at more than 20 enemies rushing from the left.Relying on the Beihai Navy's unremitting monthly target shooting training, the soldiers' marksmanship was very good, and several horses rushing in front were shot and fell to the ground.

"Right!" The guard platoon leader commanded his men to shoot at the enemy on the other side while the enemy on the left was suppressed by fire.Several horses wailed and fell down on the hillside one after another.Seeing this, dozens of attackers turned their horses around one after another, ran away with their heads in their hands, and returned to the forest.

The battle was temporarily silent. Taking advantage of this short time, Jiang Fan changed the magazine for the pistol and said to the guard platoon leader: "Your Highness is fine! Don't worry!"

The guard platoon leader had actually heard some rumors about Zhao Xin. He nodded and said to Jiang Fan, "Chief of Staff, we can't hold this place! We have to go and cooperate with the Political Committee!"

Before Jiang Fan could answer, a burst of roaring roars accompanied by dull horns sounded from the forest again, and the retreating attackers launched an attack again, this time they came out in full force, divided into three groups: left, middle and right , to launch a charge at a faster speed than last time.The leader was a guy in a black armor and a red robe holding a nail gun.

"Shoot!" More than a dozen Beihai soldiers fired at the enemies from three sides. The attackers' frenzied attack posture increased their hit rate.

However, this time the enemy did not face him directly when he charged, but deflected the horse's body, using the horse's body as a shield; Hid in a stirrup.

The posture of the three-way attack and outflank made the dozen or so people, including Jiang Fan, a little overwhelmed.The attackers on the left quickly rushed over the small slope that was most unfavorable to them, sat back on their saddles, and raised their bows and arrows at the Beihai Navy.As more than a dozen feathered arrows shot out from 30 meters away, a soldier who was changing magazines was hit by two arrows almost at the same time, and fell to the ground screaming.

The "Yiwei Camp" cavalry who returned to the palace had the same training as the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia in terms of training.When the size and Zhuo rebelled, the first Hui Wang Yusufu personally led [-] men to the southern border to fight with Zhaohui.

The guard platoon leader saw more and more enemies rushing up, so he shouted: "Prepare grenades!"

When the attackers were only 20 meters away from their own side, as the guard platoon shouted "drop bombs", ten grenades split into three directions and fell into the enemy's cavalry.A burst of violent continuous explosions set off clouds of thick black smoke.The assailants and their horses were immediately blown to pieces, screaming and wailing.

The guard platoon leader quickly turned his head and looked back at the mountain depression where Fan Tong and the others were, and shouted to Jiang Fan beside him: "Chief of Staff! You retreat quickly! Bring the wounded and meet Commissar Fan and the others. They will follow you Let's go, I'll cover!"

In a panic, Jiang Fan emptied all the two pistol magazines he carried with him, knowing that it would be useless to stay.Besides, he still has great ambitions, how could he be willing to die here?So he asked several soldiers to help the soldier who was hit by the arrow onto the horse, and then jumped on their mounts, and went straight to the valley under the hill.

Step back in time for a few minutes.When the grenade flew over, the leader Xia Silin who was rushing forward was keenly aware that the situation was not good.Being able to serve as a commanding officer under Hui Wang, apart from his nepotism, his horsemanship is naturally not bad; subconsciously, he quickly withdrew his left foot from the stirrup, and at the same time let go of the hand that was hooked around the horse's neck. , rolled back seven or eight meters on the ground, thus avoiding the damage caused by the explosion.

After the explosion stopped, Xia Silin, who was lying on the ground, hurriedly unfastened the buckle of the cloak around her neck, gasped for a few times, and then coughed again, choked by the gunpowder smoke.The rope buckle on the cloak almost strangled him to death when he fell and rolled from the horse just now.

Xia Silin had never fought Bei Haijun before, but he had only heard from He Sheng and his subordinates that the opponent's "repeating fire blunderbuss" was very powerful.He didn't expect that more than 80 elite cavalry who could be fought by a dozen people were in a mess.

He didn't know where the nail gun in his hand had gone. Seeing a bow falling on the snow a few steps ahead, he used the cover of the gunpowder smoke after the explosion to crawl over with hands and feet, and grabbed the bow. , and took out a few plum needle arrows from a bag next to it, set up a bow and arrow, and shot it at a Beihai soldier who was shooting.

He thought about it, if the arrow can hit, he will continue to lead his men forward; if the arrow fails, he will turn around and run away.

Years of bow and arrow practice were not in vain after all, Xia Silin's arrow hit the soldier's chest, and the soldier let out a muffled grunt, staggered and fell backwards.Xia Silin was overjoyed, and shouted "Kill!" After saying that, he drew his bow and arrow, looking for the next target.

The guard platoon leader who was in charge of covering emptied the last bullet in the gun chamber and was about to change the magazine when an attacker on a horse brandished a sharp nail gun and swung it at his head.The platoon leader of the guard raised his gun, and with a bang, he pushed aside the opponent's gun point, took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, and made a sudden stab. The entire bayonet pierced the enemy's calf, and then swiped outward forcefully, The other party let out a scream, and fell off the horse headfirst.

At this moment, three enemies who were not on horseback rushed up from the opposite side. The guard platoon leader had no time to reload. He turned the body of the gun, held the muzzle of the gun, and used all the strength in his body to aim at a bandit in front of him, pressing his head. He slammed it head-on, and with a click, a piece of the opponent's head was immediately dented.

Suddenly, there was a loud muffled sound from the back of his head, as if a heavy sledgehammer hit the back of his head.Even though he was blocked by the helmet, it still made him feel dizzy, and he fell headfirst on the snow.And as his body fell, four or five long knives or nail guns pierced his body almost simultaneously.

"Platoon leader!" The remaining four soldiers roared angrily, and they were about to rush over with bayonets in their hands; however, more arrows were shot from galloping horses, and more enemies surrounded and divided them. One step closer, he had no choice but to retreat while resisting, trying to break through.

After dozens of roaring war horses galloped past the top of the hill, there was no longer a Northern Navy standing on the hill.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled here, Xia Silin walked up to the fallen guard platoon leader with wide eyes, and stabbed him with the bow in his hand. The knife slashed viciously at the neck.

He asked one of his subordinates to put away the head, then broke the clenched hand of the guard platoon leader, picked up the assault rifle and fiddled with it a few times.

"Good knife!"

Xia Silin didn't know how to use the gun, but the bayonet under the muzzle caught his attention.He fiddled with it a few times to no avail, and he lost interest.After calling and leaving a few people to clean the battlefield, he jumped on a horse and led most of them to the valley below the hill, preparing to join the encirclement and suppression of another group of Beihai Navy.
Zhao Xin hadn't felt scared for several years. Even if he and Wang Yuanfang rushed into Yangzhou City to rescue people, or even broke into Heshen's mansion at night, he didn't feel that it was too dangerous.

The only time before that he felt scared was when Wu Zhong and Chai Rugui accepted the reward offered by the Qing government and came to Beihai Town to assassinate him.At that time, he was really afraid that someone who had practiced iron sand palms would come close to him and lightly hit him, and then the rust would enter his body; he didn't feel anything at the time, and he would belch in a few days, and no medicine could save him.So at that time Chen Jishan stayed close to him almost every day, and even slept in a bed outside his bedroom door at night.

But today's sneak attack so close at hand really scared him into a cold sweat, so he heard gunshots in his ears, and the moment the big black horse jumped up and landed, he immediately dodged.

Unexpectedly, when he appeared in the wilderness of another time and space, he fell directly to the ground from a height of more than one meter. He was caught off guard, and his back hit a protruding stone in the snow. Get annoyed.

Zhao Xin rolled in a panic, put his elbow on the ground, stretched out his other hand to the painful spot on his back, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, waited for his breathing to be smooth, and then slowly stood up stand up.

Jiangbulake in this time and space was also howling with cold wind and covered with snow, which made Zhao Xin's forehead icy cold, but because of this, he quickly calmed down, raised his hand and looked at the watch on his wrist, looked around, There was no one in sight.

He glanced around again, looked further away, and after making sure that there was no one around, he had a thought, and a pile of various equipment appeared on the snow in front of him.

Enduring the pain in his back, Zhao Xin squatted down and grabbed the HK416 rifle that had been with him for many years, checked it in a hurry, and after making sure that the gun was fine, he began to put on the equipment.

There was no time to change the tactical pants, so he tied the tactical belt directly and connected it with the original belt with a fixed buckle.The things on the belt have been assembled in advance, including two rifle magazines, a pistol magazine, a magazine recovery bag with an opening on it, a bag for grenades, an extended pistol holster with leg straps, And a medical kit with breathable tape, gauze, gauze, antiseptic alcohol swabs, and a few large Band-Aids.

After fastening his belt, Zhao Xin poured out a .45-70 lever rifle bullet from a bullet box, almost 20 rounds, stuffed it into the interlayer of the recycling bag behind his buttocks, and then grabbed a lemon grenade Stuffed into the grenade bag.

Next, he put on the camouflage CPC military tactical vest, which included magazine quick releases, bullet pouches, rifle imitation ropes, glove anti-drop belts, tourniquets, daggers and other accessories that had been assembled in advance , Just put it on.On the front of the vest, there is a bullet bag with three magazines, and a bulletproof steel plate is inserted in the back interlayer.After finishing all this, he put on the bulletproof helmet with built-in goggles, tightened the strap on his chin, and hurriedly put on the gloves.

Finally, he loaded five or six bullets into a lever rifle produced in Beihai Town, carried it behind his back, put away the large backpack full of ammunition and odds and ends, grabbed the assault rifle, and checked the bullets again. After checking the box and the trigger, after confirming that there was no problem, he set the speed switch to the semi-automatic position.

Although it sounds complicated, it actually took Zhao Xinlong less than 15 minutes from picking up the things to putting them on.As long as he is not busy these years, he will go to the training base in Beihai Town basically every month, let the guards clear an empty field, and practice from head to toe by himself; Will leave contentedly.

In his opinion, it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself; it is absolutely unrealistic to expect guards to protect him at all times in his state of running around.It was precisely because he had these two brushes that he dared to visit Hefu at night.

Zhao Xin took two deep breaths, and then disappeared in place with a whoosh.At the position where he once stood, the surrounding air seemed to ripple like a stone thrown into the water, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

When he reappeared on the snow in another time and space, the first thing that caught his eyes were a few guys holding long knives two meters away. They all covered half of their faces with cloth scarves, and their eyes were fierce. One of them He was about to swing his knife at a Beihai soldier who was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground in front of him.

Because of Zhao Xin's sudden appearance, several attackers were startled, and after a few seconds of astonishment, they all waved their weapons and ran towards him to kill him.But what faced them at this time was the cold and black muzzle of the gun.

Amidst the dense rattling sound, bullets whizzed out through the silencer like a shower, and the four assailants who rushed forward in a fan shape were all shot several times and fell to the ground.Zhao Xin didn't care whether the opponent was dead or not. Based on the principle of safety first, he took two steps forward and shot each other twice in the head.

Only then did Zhao Xin have a chance to look around.The tops of the hills that were originally covered with white snow have completely changed their appearance, and the blood that can be seen has dyed the snow red and white, and some are even steaming. The bodies of more than 20 attackers were lying on the ground, and several people wearing grass-green camouflage were lying in a pool of blood. Zhao Xin could tell that they were members of the guard platoon without going close.In addition, there were several injured horses, half kneeling and half lying down, neighing helplessly.

In the valley under the hill, dozens of masked men on horseback were attacking a mountain depression. The sound of musket guns and North Navy standard rifles came and went, mixed with human voices yelling.The gunpowder smoke after the shooting floated in the valley like mist blowing away with the wind.

Zhao Xin noticed that the masked people were gathered outside the col, and they couldn't get in for the time being, so he decided to rescue the people here first.However, when he checked those members of his own team one by one, he was shocked to find that, except for the soldier who had been shot by an arrow just now, a total of four people had lost their heads. The fire in his heart burst into flames!

"Hey"

The one who groaned was a seriously injured guard platoon soldier, who was also the one whose head was about to be beheaded before.Zhao Xin hurriedly turned around and stepped forward, while checking the injury, he asked, "Where are our people?"

"Retreat, retreat to the mountain, the mountain is down. I, I fight with the platoon leader and cover."

The soldier was lying on his side on the ground, behind the shoulder that was shot through, a section of the bloody arrow was exposed with a cold light.However, Zhao Xin quickly noticed that there was a pool of blood on the opponent's body, and it was obvious that there were more serious wounds.So he hurriedly asked: "Where is the injury?"

Realizing that the person who saved him was actually Zhao Xin, the soldier's pale face showed an expression of disbelief, and he said tremblingly, "Hey, he was stabbed in the stomach."

Zhao Xin didn't care about the wound on the opponent's shoulder, turned the opponent over, lifted his shirt, and suddenly found that there was a two-inch wide incision on the lower part of the opponent's stomach, which was a little blue in addition to blood.The intestines came out!
Zhao Xin only hesitated for a moment, but decided to save people first.He took out the antiseptic alcohol pads from the first aid kit at his waist, intending to clean the area around the wound first, then stuff the intestines back and bandage them up.

In order to distract the soldiers' attention, while tearing the packing bag, he kept talking: "What's your name? Where's your hometown?"

"Wu, Wu Daniu"

"How old is this year? Hold on!"

"Two, fourteen, ah~~!!!"

"Stop it!"

Zhao Xin threw away the sterilized cotton, covered the wound with one hand, grabbed a piece of square band-aid with the other hand, tore it open with his mouth, and stuck it directly on the wound, followed by the second piece; then he bit it open with his teeth The plastic bag containing the bandages was wrapped around the opponent's stomach twice.

Zhao Xin patted the soldier's face and encouraged him: "Daniel! Don't fall asleep! Wait for me to come back!"

Wu Daniu's bloodless face showed an expression of crying and laughing, panting and said: "Small, be careful, there are too many of them. My family, Zhili Daming Mansion was flooded that year. There is a father at home. Mother, daughter-in-law, son"

The soldier was chattering, his voice getting weaker and weaker. At this time, Zhao Xin had already ran for more than 20 meters with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and he didn't hear the words behind him at all.
