"Prince, there is a team ahead, heading south. I can't see how many people it should be five miles away."
Li San, who was acting as a scout in front, rushed over, reported to Li Chongrun, and then hurriedly shot forward and investigated.
Because it is difficult to replenish supplies, and this trip was not intended to fight, Li Chongrun did not bring many horses on this trip.
Except for Gai Xue, whom Li Chongrun rode, the remaining horses were all given to a few scouts with better eyesight.
"Go south?"
Not to mention Gaode Navigation or Google Maps, Li Chongrun didn't even have a simple diagram in his hand, and could only barely search for some memories from later generations.
I should now be not far south of Huludao in later generations, called Xingcheng, located in the middle of Yingzhou and Yuguan, called Shanhaiguan in later generations, more than 200 miles away from each side.
I heard from Wei Jun of Dengzhou that after the rebels occupied Yingzhou, they gathered to Tanzhou. Since the main force of the rebels was no longer here, the troops they encountered were either supported by the enemy.
The follow-up troops are either supply teams that transport food and grass.
Moreover, it is more likely to be a supply team.
As soon as I got ashore, I encountered an enemy supply team. No matter how much things were transported, breaking the battle was stress-free for senior P-society Class A war criminals like Li Chongrun.
However, the occasional shrill eagle roar from the sky always makes people uncomfortable.
"Prince, a soldier from that team came to us! It seemed that we had discovered us, and the remaining brigade was still moving south." Li San reported the latest news again.
"How many people are there in the brigade? How many people are there?"
"There are about one team of people coming here. It is four miles away. The large group of people is still five miles away."
The first team is organized by the factory guards. According to Li Chongrun's arrangement, the first team includes three teams, which means there are thirty or fifty people.
"The Khitans can train birds of prey as scouts, we were discovered!" Chen Zi'ang suddenly remembered a rumor in the army and shouted nervously:
"The Khitan cavalry is brave and good at fighting. Today, we have no cavalry and have not assembled a battle formation. It is extremely inappropriate to respond to the battle. I will take my brothers behind the palace and retreat quickly!"
Chen Zi'ang had fought a war. Although he had never fought with the Khitan, his experience in the border army told him that the best way to fight against the barbarian cavalry was to the Tang cavalry holding a horse spear, and then formed a spear formation.
heavy infantry.
But looking at the kids brought by Li Chongrun, who didn't even have armor and were dressed as well as scouts and soldiers, even if they were all masters in the martial arts world, the marching and fighting were completely different from the martial arts world.
Based on his experience in joining the army, Chen Zi'ang immediately gave Li Chongrun his opinion. Although he was a little cowardly, it was the safest suggestion in his opinion.
"It's just a team of cavalry, just giving us some experience to our brothers. Sir, don't underestimate the students' methods."
Chen Zi'ang had never seen the factory guards' methods, so it was understandable that he had these ideas. Li Chongrun felt that this was a good opportunity, just to open his eyes.
Li Chongrun waved, and the previous team of factory guards took out the bags they were carrying, took out a bunch of grenades and placed them aside.
He then pulled out the shovel with cloth wrapped around the shovel head from his waist, and dug a hole on the ground like a worker ants.
In a moment, dozens of fox pits that were enough to hide were dug out. The factory guards skillfully hid in the pit. Each of them opened the fire note and lit a small torch in front of them.
.
When I swung the shovel in front of me, I became an exquisite cannon shield, protecting my head that was leaking outside tightly.
Li San, the commander of the camp, was still serving as a scout in front, but dozens of factory guards have been practicing for a long time recently, and they took off the iron spear wrapped in cloth strips from their backs with almost conditioned reflexes.
Because the barrel was really troublesome, the arsenal on Kingsoft rushed to work overnight, so before the fleet set off, they quickly made fifty low-end versions of Minni rifles.
Because time is really tight, the rifle was not pulled. However, after following Li San's advice, he added the sights and doors designed by Li Chongrun, which were actually a concave iron piece and a left behind when casting
The bulge is still shot out on the spot when the gun is being tested.
Judging from the accuracy of the experiment when setting up camp at sea and in the past few days, although it does not have the accuracy of the complete version of the Minni rifle in Li San's hand that is as high as 400 steps, it can still be used within 200 steps.
Where to beat?
A team of twelve people in a camp were divided into four three-person groups. Each of the best-sighted people lay down on the ground, put their backpack on the ground, and adjusted the iron spear in their hands.
The other two also began to load medicine and ammunition in an orderly manner.
The shooter took the first iron gun loaded with medicine, poured the gunpowder with his small gourd, raised a thumb to indicate that he was ready to shoot.
Li Chongrun pulled out his iron mace, but did not obey Chen Zi'ang's advice and hid aside. Instead, he continued to sit high on the horse, waiting for the arrival of the Khitan cavalry.
Chen Zi'ang saw this strange weapon for the first time. He knew that his student had a strange force and simply stopped persuading him to retreat. Instead, he stood next to Li Chongrun curiously, preparing to see what Li Chongrun had.
The method is that even the Black Cavalry, which is so powerful that they have to send people to learn.
While talking, the Khitans arrived.
The Khitan horse is short, not as tall as the Dayuan horse or the Jurchen horses in later generations. It has little weight and is not fast in footsteps. However, as the ancestor of Mongolian horses in later generations, its endurance is very good.
So the Khitan cavalry likes long-distance charges very much.
Four miles away, the Khitan cavalry had already begun to speed up.
In just a moment, a ragged Khitan cavalry appeared behind the forest not far away.
Although the armor on his body was extremely ragged, the sabers in the hands of the Khitans were extremely glamorous. Facing the hot sunlight, some dazzling cold lights were reflected.
Li San is not here, the acting commander of the camp is a young man from Xiejia Village. He is a fishing man, and his eyes are no worse than Li San, and he is loudly reporting the enemy's distance.
"Three hundred steps!"
"Two hundred steps!"
The Khitans were getting closer and closer, and even the fur flying on the armor could be seen.
Seeing Li Chongrun, the only person sitting on the horse, wearing luxurious clothes, a group of Khitans were like hungry wolves who saw a fat sheep, urging the horse under his crotch desperately, shouting in his mouth that Li Chongrun could not understand and flew towards him.
Come on.
"One hundred and fifty steps!"
"put!"
With Li Chongrun shouting, several gunshots rang out in a not-so-intensive manner.
A few Khitans a hundred meters away, their thick leather armor was like paper in front of the bullets that were close to the speed of sound. A large blood flower bloomed out of their bodies, and their foreheads pierced to the ground.
The galloping horse lost its rider and rushed forward with a little confused look, and its pace gradually slowed down.
Two more shots were the unarmed horses. The horses that rushed in front seemed to be hit hard by a huge hammer. Under the splatter of blood, their huge body and the rider above them.
, and fell to the ground in an instant.
The Minnie rifle had a 30% chance of being silent. Li Chongrun counted carefully before it rang ten times.
Fortunately, after replenishing the gunpowder, the remaining two gunshots also appeared soon.
The first round
The shooting assistant on the side quickly handed over an iron gun that had been loaded with ammunition. Another command was heard, and the gunshots rang out one after another.
In just fifty steps, the gunshots had already sounded three times.
The Khitan cavalry had already fallen halfway before they could rush into the range of the bow and arrow. The remaining Khitans thought that the luxurious boy had some magic, and the howling sound in his mouth became even more and more shrill, urging the horse to stop.
He rushed towards Li Chongrun by fate.
"Grenade, put it!"
As another round of gunfire sounded, dozens of grenades flew out in front of the formation like raindrops.
The grenades shining with sparks formed a huge fire net within a range of forty or fifty steps in front of the formation, waiting for the Khitans to come in.
