Chapter 112 A murderous night
The evening of the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 31st year of Guangxu.
Zhao Chuanxin and his party have arrived in Liaodi.
Liu Yonghe, an instructor in Lugang Town, led his people to take charge of the escort. By the time Xingjing arrived, the number of escorts had increased from more than 20 people from the insurance team to the local anti-Russian armed forces in Xingjing, and the team had expanded to more than 50 people.
Because Fushun had been occupied, everyone took a detour to Tieling.
At the same time, the Russian army's assault on the Japanese 3rd Army was ineffective, and the Russian army gave up the solid position in Shahe. As a result, after the Japanese army broke through the position, they directly detoured to the rear of the Russian 2nd Army on the right wing and made dumplings for the Russian army.
.
As a last resort, the Russian army ordered a retreat in the direction of Tieling. The useless Russian cavalry did not participate in the Battle of Fengtian at all, and retreated first before the infantry and artillery. Because the formation was chaotic, Zhe Zhong could not carry it with him, and the roads were blocked, so the entire army retreated.
The order was disrupted, making it even more confusing.
Zhao Chuanxin's team was also noisy because of the mixed personnel. When they got closer and the Russian cavalry could see each other's faces, both sides were shocked to realize that there was a group of soldiers and horses on the opposite side.
Obviously, Zhao Chuanxin's cavalry team is much smaller.
At this time, there were too many bandits and gangs causing trouble behind the Russian army in Liao. Various armed forces were fighting for their lives, and Japanese spies were inciting them behind the scenes, which made the Russian army feel very bad.

After seeing a group of cavalry appear majestically, the first reaction of the Russian cavalry was that the Chinese were coming to cause trouble.
But they did not launch an attack immediately, because at this time the Russian troops could be said to have lost their command, and the rearmost guards were being bombarded by Japanese artillery fire.
Zhao Chuanxin was the first to react. He saw the shadowy figures on the opposite side were all Russian cavalry. He squinted his eyes and looked at them for two seconds, then shouted to the stunned people behind him: "Turn back and retreat!"
So everyone turned their horses around one after another.
Only after they had run a few dozen meters away did the Russian army react. A junior officer shouted loudly, and a group of about a hundred Russian cavalrymen galloped after them.
The most panicked person here was Li Guangzong. He was not good at riding. He looked pale next to Zhao Chuanxin and asked in fear: "Sir, will something happen?"
Zhao Chuanxin patted his head: "It's just that I can't remember so many details, otherwise I wouldn't have met the Russian army here."
He only remembered the main battles and results of the Russo-Japanese War, but did not know much about the details of the war. He originally wanted to take a detour from the south, but Liu Yonghe's friends who helped escort claimed that the south was already dominated by the Japanese at this time.
As a result, we took a detour from the north and encountered the retreating Russian army.
The Russian cavalry did not participate in the battle, so they were full of energy. When they received the pursuit order, they immediately acted like wolves and tigers, and they were ready to vent their anger on this group of blind Chinese people.
Seeing that the opponent was getting closer and closer, Zhao Chuanxin frowned and shouted to Liu Yonghe: "You take a large group of people and return to Xingjing. Guangzong and Baogui follow them. Er Fatty, you guys follow me, let's take down the Russian cavalry
Lead away."
Liu Yonghe frowned deeper and said: "They are twice as many as us, but we may not have the strength to fight."
But Zhao Chuanxin looked back at these Russian cavalry. Riding at night, they actually stood up in the stirrups amidst the bumps. They held up the cavalry sword in their hands and let out a terrifying roar. It was obvious that they had superb riding skills and were the best among the best.
.
It would be strange if our own troops could defeat the opponent.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. The rest of the insurance team will rest in Xingjing and go back to Lugang Town!"
Helpless, Liu Yonghe could only obey orders and parted ways with Zhao Chuanxin and others.
In order to contain the pursuing Russian cavalry and prevent them from splitting up to pursue Liu Yonghe's team, Zhao Chuanxin could only climb up a small slope and start to turn back to attack.
Bang bang bang...
In the dark night, except for Zhao Chuanxin, even the two fat men have no accuracy.
Three rounds of gunfire were fired, but I don’t know how many people were killed. Anyway, the Russian cavalry was already chasing them.
Mao Zi is indeed a militant. Even when fighting Japan, they still wanted to get close to the bayonet when faced with machine gun fire. They did not take modern warfare seriously at all.
Therefore, the Russian cavalry suffered heavy casualties in the early days.
Even now, knowing that the Chinese in front had stopped to fight back, they still held up their cavalry swords and rushed over on horseback.
Four words to describe it: Brave and not afraid of death!
The Russo-Japanese War will be lost because, in addition to deficiencies in various aspects, the most important thing is Russia's incompetent command.
To say that soldiers are cowardly is pure nonsense.
If they had the same character as those of later generations, the Russian army might not lose.
Zhao Chuanxin was surprised when he saw that the other party didn't stop to fight back at all. He quickly mounted his horse and shouted: "We will attack again immediately. Let's retreat. I will take the rear!"
Naturally, I am very anxious.
This is the biggest crisis he has ever encountered while out on the road with his insurance team.
Gao Li leaned on the horse and looked back. He could vaguely see the Russian cavalry with ferocious faces in the night. He said fiercely: "If you can't, just turn around and fight with them. The worst is to die. I am sure I can kill two of them!"<
/p>
In terms of ruthlessness, Shuangxi is the most ruthless of the insurance team; in terms of ruthlessness, Gao Li is the most ruthless one.
Er Fatzi, who was leading the charge, suddenly warned: "There is a curve ahead, everyone, be careful!"
Everyone turned the corner without any danger, but at the end, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly pulled out his spider legs and tightened the reins.
The rumble of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Chuanxin's heart was beating loudly.
He is more afraid of death than anyone else, but he also understands that the more afraid of death, the faster he will die.
When he saw the horse's head appearing at the corner of the curve, he threw the spider legs back.
Then, he hit the horse and rushed forward without looking back.
The tip of the knife spun and flew out, and the fireworks at night were as gorgeous as those spinning top-style fireworks.
Due to the characteristics of the twin metals, one end of the small metal bears all the gravity of the larger metal. As long as the spider legs are still in Zhao Chuanxi's hand and do not fall to the ground, the tip of the knife can maintain a balanced height and keep rotating.
The longest distance between the twin metals is more than ten meters. As soon as Zhao Chuanxin walked away, the tip of the knife behind him also moved forward.
The head of the Russian cavalryman in the front was cut off as soon as he passed the bend, and both the cavalryman and his horse fell to the ground.
The cavalry behind was tripped and had no time to brake in the dark, so they also fell down.
The dense cavalry immediately caused chaos at the bend.
Zhao Chuanxin swung the spider's legs forward and inserted the tip of the knife back.
He tightened the reins, turned the horse's head, and charged towards the pursuers behind him.
As if cracking a whip, he swung the tip of the spider's leg away again.
As soon as a fallen cavalry man got up from the ground, he felt a chill on his neck, and then the world started spinning!
Zhao Chuanxin retracted the tip of his sword, and with the help of his horse power, he rushed out and slashed at a cavalryman.
When the cavalry saw that this man was like magic and didn't know what weapon to use, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he stood on horseback to attack him.
The spider legs ejected the impact beam, and even made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, directly cutting off the opponent's cavalry sword, and slashed diagonally from the opponent's left shoulder to the right rib.
Until his death, the other party did not understand how a person could have such great strength!
Another cavalryman leaned sideways, stretched out his arm, and pointed the knife in his hand slightly backward, preparing to use his power to slash Zhao Chuanxin's body.
In this way, Zhao Chuanxin will be cut into two pieces without chopping it yourself.
Zhao Chuanxin knew that he would definitely not be as good as these elite cavalry in immediate combat. He bared his teeth and smiled, swinging the spider leg forward again, and the tip of the knife flew out.
The cavalryman still kept his body tilted, and then a piece of his head was wiped off by the flying knife tip.
The tip of the knife kept spinning backwards, killing five people one after another. Finally, the distance reached the limit, and then it began to fly back.
Zhao Chuanxin turned his horse's head again and fled.
But this time the Russian cavalry was blocked by horses without knights and corpses of dead men and horses.
It happens to be at a curve, so it is very inconvenient to get around and pursue.
This made Zhao Chuanxin rush out a long way in an instant. After they finally cleared the road, the team in front had disappeared...
The Russian cavalry was furious and discussed what to do next.
Someone said: "I saw them split up and run away. This group of people was cannon fodder to attract fire. Why don't we turn around and chase the other group. They thought we were lured away and they would take it lightly."
