Chapter 359
The enemy cavalry never rushed over, they only galloped back and forth roaring more than two hundred paces away, but they couldn't get within range. Their howls pierced into the ears of all the sergeants, and some of the sergeants held their guns in their hands. Shaking faintly.

About two quarters later, Cheng Sanhu's arm holding the blunderbuss was gradually turning sour, and beads of sweat began to drip from his forehead, but the entire army formation was still in good order, except for the gasping sounds of the soldiers. Outside, there is no more noise.

The sergeants, who were a little panicked at first, also stabilized at this time. Although their arms regurgitated acid, they still insisted on holding the blunderbuss in their hands flat and straight, and aimed at the slightly blurred figures of bandits in the distance.

The cavalry in the distance rushed towards this side suddenly, they were divided into several groups, and each group had dozens of riders. Amidst the rumble of hooves, puffs of smoke and dust rolled forward, the momentum was already very astonishing.

Cheng Sanhu was a little flustered, and at this moment, he heard the voice of Jiachang Tan Hesheng: "Everyone pay attention, do not fire without orders, be careful that your head will be chopped off!"

He hastily calmed down, gripped the blunderbuss tighter in his hand, and at the same time thought to himself: "The bandits and cavalry are rushing, do you really have to wait until sixty paces before firing?"

When the horse team on the opposite side reached a distance of a hundred paces, they turned their horses' heads one after another, ran to both sides, and then gradually ran back two hundred paces. In this way, they rushed twice in a row, but they still did not enter the shooting range of the bird guns. within.

Second Jia Chang Tan Hesheng was originally Jin Xinpeng's servant. After Zhang Cheng came, the reform of the military system abolished the treatment of servants. Some servants left to join others, but he stayed and was appointed as Jiachang.

At this moment, he was thinking in his heart: If this new general master encountered such a posture before the future North Road, he might have already let go of the guns and guns, how could he abide by such rules.

However, Tan Hesheng also felt that the army formation was so organized, and the firecrackers were on standby, even if there were more bandits rushing, he would not be afraid, it was indeed much better than shooting randomly before.

This is what a strong army should look like!

Tan Hesheng couldn't help but feel a little proud of being in such an army formation.

After the two sides confronted each other for another moment, the hundreds of bandit cavalry suddenly let out a strange howl, then whistled and fled into the distance, gradually disappeared as the smoke and dust rolled away.

In the large formation of Zhongjun Checheng, Chen Zhong stood on the back of his horse and held a binocular in his hand. However, he was not observing the fleeing enemy cavalry, but was using the binocular to observe Jin Yong's subordinates. There was a smile on the corners of the mouths of the army formations of Division A and Division B in the Ministry.

The binoculars are binoculars. After Zhang Cheng built the Yunzhou Jiangying Workshop, he ordered Shi Tiegen to organize craftsmen to burn glass and made binoculars of two specifications.

One is the kind of watch tube used by Jin Yong. It is about one foot long and divided into two sections, each section is nearly five inches. At present, each of the troops under Zhang Cheng's command has one for each officer above the general level.

The second is the watch tube used by Chen Zhong. It is also about one foot long, but it is divided into three sections, each section is about three inches. This is for the convenience of their sentry cavalry. The teams of He Ye Bu Shou will each get one team.

At this moment, he was deeply satisfied when he saw that the two divisions of the infantry battalion were well-organized and did not appear chaotic, and no one fired without order. Followed by the tail.

He jumped off his horse, looked at Jin Yong who also had a smile on his face, and said softly: "Mr. Jin Qian, the enemy cavalry retreat, the army can be regrouped!"

Jin Yong also shouted orders with a smile, followed by the sound of golden gongs ringing in the Chinese army formation.

"Put down the blunderbuss, extinguish the matchlock!" The officers of the firecracker bureau shouted loudly.

Then there was another tight gong sound, and the sergeants of all teams sat down and rested in place according to the order.

Cheng Sanhu vigorously shook his already extremely sore arms, spat, and cursed in a low voice: "You son of a bitch, why are you running away!"

The army formation was silent, only the panting of the sergeants could be heard. Although the bandit cavalry retreated, all the sergeants sat down according to the order, and no one dared to whisper to each other, and no one whispered.

After a while, the ranger scouts who had just followed them turned back to the central army formation. After a while, the military order came:

"The enemy cavalry has fled and retreated, and the divisions are still going downhill in sequence, entering the road, continuing to march, and camping at a small river ten miles ahead to rest."

The troopers of the delivery carts were busy unloading and putting away the panels of the side vans that had been erected just now, and rearranging the carts. Those flatbed carts in Part B also carried the tiger crouching guns onto the carts. , put on the mule again and prepare to go.

Cheng Sanhu, who had already got up and was in the formation, caught a glimpse of a group of rangers galloping past him on horseback. He vaguely saw the Ranger Chief with the flag on his back, and he looked at them somewhat Weird, with eyes and mouth corners, with a very strange smile.

Although he couldn't make out the meaning of this weird smile for a while, but he also had a trace of doubt in his heart.

Moreover, he looked from a distance, and there was no trace of tension in the Chinese army formation. When Mr. Qian walked by in the distance, there was an equally weird smile on that big, sinister face, which made Cheng Sanhu I always feel that there is a kind of inexplicable feeling here.

…………

Jin Yong led the army and marched forward for more than ten miles, and finally arrived at the scheduled camp.

This place is quite wide and far away from the various forts. There is also a small river flowing through this place, which was surveyed by the ranger scouts in advance. The camp is also set up on a gentle slope, and the small river is just below the slope, so it is very convenient to draw water. .

Supplies carts and flatbed carts built a cart city on the gentle slope, and camp walls composed of rows of planks and stakes were erected one after another, and four simple hanging buildings were erected at the four corners of the camp.

The batters unloaded the mules and horses pulling the carts, fed the mules and horses one after another, and tended the animals. Teams of soldiers set up camps, and they also had to dig toilet pits, set up stables and so on.

After the army set up the camp, anyone had to enter and exit through the camp gate, and was never allowed to climb over the camp wall at other places. Anyone who violated it would be tied up in front of the army and punished with military sticks.

Anyone who enters or exits the camp gate to collect water or woodcutters must have a general order to enter and exit, and must show his personal waist badge. Anyone who violates the order and enters and exits the camp will be tied with a hundred military sticks.

In the camp of the Chinese Army, more than [-] ranger scouts galloped out on horseback, galloping in all directions to investigate the movement around the camp.

Around the camp, there are also bright posts, secret posts, and mobile posts everywhere to protect the camp.

After all the affairs were properly arranged, it was already dusk, all the sergeants simply finished their dinner, and then went back to their respective camps to prepare to rest.

In the camp, there were also bursts of sounds of gold and trumpets blowing, and the lights were raised one after another, and then the drums were beaten three times, and the fireworks of all divisions and bureaus were extinguished.
