Chapter 6: Endless Mountains and Waters (6)

"Several millions? Why don't you say tens of millions?" During a break on the road, a cavalry officer who came to the Cangtou team to borrow horse material once commented very bitterly:

"He's XX, a bunch of cowards, who run faster than rabbits, and can see a chicken X! This time there must be no battles, and there are still no things in the place. Day him X, no matter what, anyway, the Houyang cave is there. By the sea, it's just as if it was going to fish for seafood in the past, and it's going to be a holiday festival!

Sometimes things are so weird.The fire brigade used to collect information like Pokémon, and only acted when it was certain. As a result, it turned a few big circles and couldn't catch the evil spirits. This time, everyone felt that there would be no gain, and it was just going Shili was wronged, but a large group of black plague monsters actually appeared in front of them.

The scouts reported that after crossing Majiao Mountain (a large rock three miles away from the immigrant village), they immediately ran into the enemy patrol, and there were so many opponents that they finally wiped it out. After that, the scouts went from three to three. Trying to approach Houyang Cave in all directions, they were all repelled by evil spirits without exception, and they could only estimate the size of the enemy from a distance.

The monsters occupy the old site of the immigration village, from the drying field to the beach, a large area of ​​Wuyangyang.Numerous groups wandered between the ruins, and the red eyeballs turned maliciously.Although they are not "several millions", they are certainly more than five thousand. It is impossible to win easily.

Suo Zhongwu thought he would be able to cross today, but he had to bite the bullet and go to the battlefield.In this battle, Jie Duliu was very cautious. He first parked his main force under Majiao Mountain, then two cavalry battalions were deployed in parallel on the official road, and two artillery battalions were deployed in Xiaojiao Mountain in the northwest, just like last time. Build a belligerent line like that;

After the artillery had established a position, he threw out the other two "pure" cavalry battalions, and took turns to harass the main force of the evil spirits occupying Houyangdong Village, trying to draw the enemy out of the village ruins, and induce them to attack the preset positions of the Houlou soldiers. .This tactic is very textbook, and it is probably the same command when Suo Zhongwu is replaced.

But the monsters didn't cooperate. No matter how the cavalry fired their guns, they just refused to move.After waiting for an hour, Zhou Yanhong had to order the artillery to push the artillery down the mountain and re-attach the artillery to the carriage. One of the two dismounted cavalry battalions kept three horizontal lines and slowly advanced along the official road, and the other turned into a three-way column. Not long after the wasteland was burned, the ground was covered with black ash, and the tree stumps and roots were everywhere and marched eastward on the wasteland.

The evil spirits waited quietly, until the two cavalry artillery teams turned to the official road, and then the whole team started to counterattack.The two battalions in charge of monitoring them immediately replaced them with new vigorous mounts, and put iron curtains on the old guys, and returned to the cavalry profession again after a long time.

In the next hour, more than 400 cavalry were divided into ten teams, communicating with each other through semaphores, drum horns, snail horns, and loud voices, and galloped around Houyang Cave.Suddenly they charged from the side, the saber slashed the monsters' armour and claws, and then they all put their guns on the horseback to beat the monsters that were huddled into groups to the blood. If the impatient monsters rushed out of the brigade, the cavalry would even more. Pounced like a wolf, slaughtered in the blink of an eye.

Most of the time, the cavalry had the upper hand.There were also a few times when a few people fell behind and were surrounded by evil spirits. First, the horse was dismembered, and then the rider was torn apart by minions.In addition to the black plague army, the pits and concave terrain of Houyang also cost the cavalry a lot of money. Some teams had to temporarily disband their formations in order to get around the roots of the trees, and several teams were stuck in the mud near the old river. , The officers and soldiers fell one after another, not only facing their own trampling, but also resisting the bloodthirsty bite of evil spirits.

The fierce fighting stirred up dust and smoke in the sky, and black, white, gray and other colors of vegetation ash spread in large groups in the air.Many brothers never returned, and many soldiers were wounded and retreated. Suo Zhongwu was palpitated.The cavalry has paid a lot of losses this time, and may even hurt their vitality, but these casualties were not in vain. It is precisely because of their hard work that the cavalry artillery and the dismounted cavalry battalion were able to traverse the official road and once again become a battle formation.

After the formation of the battle line, Zhou Yanhong immediately ordered the Cangtou team to fire in the air and used the agreed signal to request the cavalry to retreat.Because it was difficult to get out of the melee, the ten cavalry teams spent a total of seven minutes before they all left the flesh and blood crush; the evil spirits who were fighting with them had already killed themselves at this time and chased them regardless.But when they rushed out of the smoke and dust, they also issued the death penalty order to themselves.

The two artillery teams fired with solid bullets first, and the big iron ball bounced frequently on the ground, ploughing blood ditch one after another among the monsters.When the monster approached within fifty steps, they replaced the grape bullets that they were not willing to use before, and filled the shooting circle with the pouring lead bullets.Four-legged crawling meat puppets, self-explosive floating corpses that swell into balloons, flippered sea crocodile with mouth full of teeth, fast-moving amphibious cliff lizards...Regardless of the species, all monsters are equal in front of gunpowder, only flesh and blood Break up this one end.

The continuous bombardment of the artillery not only caused the evil spirits to continuously reduce their personnel, but also caused them to stop the entire team frequently. Some groups turned around 180 degrees to retreat when seeing the situation badly, while others were dazzled by anger, regardless of the line of battle. Rushed past.As you can imagine, the soldiers from the back tower once again lined up and shot them at close range, sending all the impatient monsters to reincarnation.

After suffering a big loss, the evil spirits all retracted to the village ruins to defend, and curled up like a hedgehog.The fire brigade, like the dogma in the "Outline of Wujing", immediately turned to attack on the spot:

The "pure" cavalry battalion monitored the enemy's movements in the village and harassed them with guns. The artillery built a new position two hundred steps away from the village. After the guns were placed, they fired at a constant rate with solid rounds.The other two battalions that dismounted and acted as infantry naturally stood in front of the artillery positions and acted as bodyguards. After the artillery bombarded the enemy, they would carry bayonet guns into the village to clean.

However, the battle will never be smooth.The monsters did not hide in Houyang Cave and were beaten. They carried out three rounds of constant-speed firing and paid a lot of "strange life" for tuition. They immediately turned into a guard and turned in place and decisively withdrew to the beach.The artillery, who had been exhausted to transfer their positions, only fired 20% of the projected shells.

The infantry took advantage of the trend and took back the immigrant village without a single shot, successfully regaining the pile of ruins, half-collapsed mud walls and burning thatched houses.However, not only can the firefighting team not be able to cheer for long live, they even have no time to rest.Because the battle was not over at all, the surviving evil spirits had already hidden in the mangroves, and they were opening and closing the tongs "click and click" there.
