The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 309 Fierce battle at the Red Rock Beach ([-])

It was Jia Lian's first battalion and Feng Zijing's second battalion who fought against the Mailai people.

There are more than 700 people in the two battalions, plus the transport team, a total of 800 people.What they had to deal with was the [-] horsemen of the Mailai people.

After a round of fighting, the fighting is currently at a temporary standstill.

The two battalion commanders Jia Lian and Feng Zijing, together with the six company commanders Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Qin Zhong, Feng Zipu, Feng Zimiao, and Shi Song, were gathering to study tactics.

"In my opinion, that's all they have. They don't have any tricks anymore. After fighting with them for so long, I haven't seen any improvement from them."

Jia Qiang's words were full of contempt for the Mailai people.

"Be careful, after all, they still have an absolute advantage in numbers."

Feng Zijing has always been more cautious in his style. His advantage is that he is more adept at calculating when fighting.

"At present, it seems that everything is still going according to our plan, and the reaction of the Mailai people is similar to our expectation. This rhythm should be fine. Our first-stage goal has been achieved."

Jia Lian stood up and looked into the distance.

"There should be a war at Heishakou by now, right?"

Feng Zijing also stood up, holding a map in her hand, and looked at it together with Jia Lian.

"It is estimated that Iron Buddha's reinforcements should have arrived. In terms of marching, their speed is not slow."

"I hope Chen Yeqing and Zhao Dahai can withstand it."

"That depends on how many people come from Lameihua. However, we have to trust the third and fourth battalions."

"Yes, the Fourth Battalion has made rapid progress. I hope they can perform better this time."

"Battle Commander Jia, you have to believe in Chief Min's military training methods. How long have we been here? Why don't we just fight with grassland cavalry? If I said it before, I wouldn't believe it myself."

"Captain Feng, how many people are waiting to see our excitement? I guess the guys in the imperial capital are also waiting for news at this time?"

"I guess, they must all be waiting for the news of our defeat? When I told other government regiments about the prairie cavalry, they were all very scared?"

"Hmph, as far as their military training methods are concerned, no matter how much they practice, they are still a bunch of rookies. Plus they don't have firearms. If they encounter grassland cavalry, how can they be their opponents?"

"Hey, I really want to know now, what kind of expression will they have when they learn that we have defeated the grassland cavalry?"

"What expression? It must be an expression of disbelief. Well, the time is almost up, let your people attack."

"okay."

Feng Zijing took two steps.

"Feng Zimiao!"

"To!"

"Lead your company to attack and perform well. Chief of Staff Feng and the Khakis are watching over there."

"Yes, Battalion Commander, you must not embarrass the Feng family."

Feng Zimiao waved his hand and led the Second Battalion and Second Company to cross the river.

As soon as the second battalion and the second company entered the river, the six French machine guns opened fire.

As the Mailai cavalry retreated, they widened the distance and spread out to both sides.

After a while, the second company's Fran cannon stopped firing.Seeing that the Bukui people's cannons had stopped firing, the Mailai people regrouped and began to fight back.

The Bukui people opened fire with their long guns, and after a while they withdrew to the west bank.

It seems that their offensive ability is the same, and the two armies have returned to the state of confrontation across the river.

McKayman has been watching from the back of the team. He knew it in his heart from the first round of the Bukui people's attack.

However, he is a person with more military experience, knowing that the Bukui people are coming, he must be prepared.Sure enough, the opponent's firearms were still very powerful.Especially the flowering bomb, which is still very lethal to people and horses.

However, he quickly found a countermeasure, which was to distance himself.In this way, the killing effect of the blooming bullet is greatly reduced.

At first, McKayman was skeptical about how many people came from the other party.He didn't believe that the Bukui people would be so real. He said 800 people, and 800 people came.

But now he believed it.Of course, this is the result of his own observation.

"Hur Khan, you take 800 people to the lower reaches to cross the river. Moritu, you take 800 people to the upper reaches to cross the river, outflanking them from both sides. Huh, Pukui people, since you are here, don't even think about going back. .”

Hu Erhan and Mori were ordered to go away, and soon, two puffs of smoke rose, and two cavalry left and right.

"Haug, send 300 people to cross the river from the front."

"Yes, Chief."

Hauge agreed to go, and after a while, three hundred Mailai cavalry began to cross the river.Haug also returned to McKayman's side.

"Haug, the Bukui people consume a lot of gunpowder. If these 300 people are beaten back, it proves that they still have a lot of gunpowder. At that time, it is time for our main force to cross the river."

As soon as the 20 horsemen of the Mailai people entered the water, the Pukui people reacted. More than [-] French machines opened fire suddenly.The shell fell into the water and exploded, causing high spray.

When the water was gone, I saw three hundred cavalry, less than half of them left.

Some Bukui people lined up in a hundred and began to shoot with long guns. Soon, there were only 80 or [-] Mailai cavalry left.

If there is another round of artillery fire and long bludgeon shooting, these seven or eighty people will soon be wiped out in the river.

These tribal fighters are all veterans who have followed McKayman and are very loyal to him.Although their personal properties have suffered a lot this year and they have a lot of complaints against McCamen, they still came when McCamen greeted them.

One by one in the water like this made McCain very sad.Just when he was hesitating and distressed about this, the situation changed.

The Bukui suddenly began to retreat.Not only the people who fired just now retreated, but other people who watched the battle also retreated together.

"Haug, they are out of ammunition. Where are Hurhan and Mori?"

"They've crossed the river and are outflanking."

"We are also preparing to cross the river and pursue them all. We cannot let them escape."

"Headman, could this be their trick? They want to lure us into it?"

"Didn't our people go ashore? They didn't fight back, which proved that they were not strong enough. They didn't dare to fight us, so they had to run away. They also found that Hu Erhan and Mori were outflanking them. If they don't run away, was surrounded."

"Okay, this time, let's kill all of them. Warriors, cross the river and kill those Bukui people!"

Brother Hao raised his arms and shouted, and the tribal warriors cheered up immediately, applauding their horses and rushing towards the river.

Still, McKayman is a bit concerned.

When a large group of people and horses crossed the river, they were most vulnerable to attack. At this time, if the Bukui people came back with their carbines and fired artillery and firecrackers, the loss would be great.

Looking at the 80 to [-] people who had gone ashore before, there seemed to be nothing unusual, and they were all waiting for the brigade to cross the river, so McKaymen was a little relieved.

It wasn't until the brigade had all crossed the river that McKayman's hanging heart was completely relieved.Then he flattered his horse and started to cross the river.

The Mailai cavalry were used to running rampant on the grasslands, but this time they had been pressed down and beaten by the Bukui people's firearms, and they had already held their breath in their hearts.I can't wait to catch up with those cowardly Pukui people immediately and knock them all under their horses.

Now, the Bukui people had run out of gunpowder, and they only had to wait for the leader to come ashore, and with an order, they would go after those cowards.

They were not afraid of them running away, because Hu Erhan and Mo Litu outflanked them on both sides, and Tiefo people came to stop them in front.

This time, the Bukui people would never try to run away again.

Hmph, dare to go wild on the grassland, and don't even look at who is the master here!
At this time, the head of McKaymen had reached the middle of the river, and he would go ashore in a while.At that time, it is time to attack.

They were all looking forward to the moment of revenge, but no one noticed the six haystacks around them.

These haystacks were piled up by the tribe when they were hunting forage.Now there is not much pasture on each haystack hill, only some scattered pastures piled up there in a disorderly manner.

If someone pays attention to observe at this time, they will find that there is something moving under the grass.After a while, someone lit a straw rope.The appearance of this straw rope seems to be the same as that of ordinary straw ropes, but it seems to be particularly willing to catch fire. While the fire is burning, it also makes a chi-chi sound.

There are a total of six such straw ropes, extending from different directions to the gathering place of the Mailai cavalry.

Hauge had already landed first, and he was preparing his formation at this time. As soon as McKaymen landed, he would start chasing the Bukui people.

"Huh? Why is there still a fire snake at this time?"

A tribal warrior pointed to the beach not far away.

The fire snake is a common non-venomous snake on the Wendura grassland.His whole body was fiery red, and he walked up and down the ground, like a tongue of flame piercing through the ground.

"Hey, there are also over there."

"Yes, there are also over there."

Brother Hao also felt strange, so he wanted to go over and have a look. Suddenly, he felt ominous in his heart.

"No, there is gunpowder, spread out quickly! Spread out quickly!"

Hauge yelled hoarsely, and the tribal fighters also understood, and immediately dispersed to the surroundings.However, it was too late.

Earth-shattering explosions, one after another, one after another.

In a blink of an eye, people called horses to neigh, and there was a mess.Bursts of smoke, accompanied by blown things, spread in all directions.

The mount under him didn't dare to move forward, and McKayman was riding on the horse, standing there in the middle of the Sidao River in a daze.

Beside him, there were constantly things falling from the sky, which fell into the water, causing splashes of water.Some things sank to the bottom, and some things floated up after sinking to the bottom.

The things that floated up included fragments of clothes, and severed limbs of people...

McKayman didn't know how long those explosions sounded, and there was only one thought in his mind at this moment.

It's over, it's over, it's over.
