My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 151 Sentry Contact
"Bullshit!"

Qinggeltai became angry, took out the scimitar from his waist, pointed it at him and shouted angrily:
"It's not like we haven't seen Daxia's firearms before. If they can shoot fifty or sixty steps, they are already in the sky.

How could he kill so many warriors when he couldn't even kill a chicken a hundred steps away?Are you greedy for life and afraid of death, and then lie to frame me? "

"Sir, I really didn't lie."

Looking at the shining scimitar dangling in front of him, he said in a trembling voice: "More than ten people behind me have seen it. If you don't believe it, just ask someone."

"Okay...this is what you said."

Qinggeltai summoned the defeated troops who had followed the ten-capion commander. After questioning, he found that the ten-capion commander did not lie.

After listening to the confessions of these defeated soldiers, Qinggeltai put away his scimitar and said coldly to the captain: "It seems that you did not lie, but this time you lost more than ten warriors. A big sin.

When you fight those southern barbarians later, you have to rush to the front to atone for your sins. Are you willing? "

The captain of ten hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you so much for sparing my life. I will definitely atone for my sins."

"Come here...send three more centurions...to search the front. We must not let those Ye Bushuang get close to us."

In military operations, the most important thing is confidentiality.

If one side's numbers, military formation, and even marching route are all clearly detected by the other side, the battle will have been lost by three points before the battle even begins.

Therefore, regardless of any dynasty, before two armies go to war, the first people to come into contact and fight are the other party's sentries.

Soon, when the two sides marched for more than 20 miles again, Qinggeltai saw smoke billowing from the front one mile ahead, and more than a dozen teams were moving quickly.

From time to time there were sounds of fighting and screams, and people fell from their horses from time to time.

What Qinggetai found unbelievable was that among those who fell, most of them were his own scouts, which was incredible to him.

You know, the Mongolians claim to be a people on horseback is not an exaggeration.

A Mongolian can be said to have been bumping on horseback with his mother since he was born.

It becomes even more remarkable after birth. Riding horses and herding animals are as basic skills for all Mongolian men as eating and drinking.

But now, in a back-and-forth fight involving hundreds of people, they actually suffered a loss. This discovery was no less absurd than a strong man being beaten by a child.

However, Qinggeltai quickly observed that the Daxia army on the opposite side seemed to be particularly well-dressed, with all of them wearing fine armor and iron helmets.

The arrows fired by the Mongolian sentries could not penetrate their armor at all.

The firearms used by the opponent Ye Bushou were also different from those he had seen before. Not only did these fire blunderbuss have an extremely long range, they were still very lethal from more than 100 steps away.

Once the Mongolian sentries are shot, they will fall off their horses and there is basically no possibility of survival.

After the two sides fought for about a quarter of an hour, the Mongolian sentry finally couldn't hold on any longer. Under the shouts of a centurion, he retreated towards the main formation.

Seeing this scene, Qinggeltai was shocked and angry. With a wave of his hand, a thousand-man team broke away from the main force and started to attack them.

The opponent's Ye Bushou saw the opponent's large group of troops approaching and did not bother them. After the leader whistled, everyone began to retreat.

Not only that, when they retreated, they still had time to help several fallen soldiers onto their horses and take them back with them. They even took away dozens of horses on the battlefield that had stopped because they lost their owners.Seeing this scene, Qinggeltai almost had his nose twisted with anger. Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he loudly ordered the two thousand-man troops to chase in the direction of Ye Bushou's retreat.

Although Tongguan has a dangerous terrain as a natural chasm, the terrain around it is miraculously extremely flat, which also provides extremely convenient conditions for the movement of cavalry.

Since receiving the report of the discovery of the enemy, Jia Yu released his drone and began to investigate the surrounding area.

Since it was daytime and the weather was good, the images from the drone were extremely clear.

From the remote control panel in his hand, Jia Yu could clearly see that the Mongols were divided into three groups, with about 1000 people on the left and right, and the middle group was the largest, with at least 4000 people.

Jia Yu kept adjusting the drone's field of view and hovering over the opponent's head.

Looking at the real-time images returned by the drone, Jia Yu ordered the formation of a battle formation.

Five hundred musketeers were deployed in each square, with sword and shield soldiers deployed on the outside as cover, and pikemen were deployed behind the musketeers.

Their mission is that once the phalanx is broken through by the Mongolian cavalry, they are the last barrier for the musketeers.

Just listening to the constant sound of the Mongolian horns, they slowly gathered together and continued to meet them. When the two sides were less than a mile apart, they all stopped each other.

"The gunner is in place!"

In the left front of the phalanx, dozens of carts dragging artillery slowly stopped.

As soon as the artillery stopped, the gunners on the cart also jumped out of the car and unloaded the artillery from the cart.

The four gunners worked together to change the direction of the artillery, and then fixed the gun mount and wheels. The other eight gunners were busy unloading the wooden shell boxes one by one from the cart.

One of the gunners took out a gunpowder packet wrapped in paper from the box and stuffed it into the barrel. Another gunner took a purge and pushed the powder packet deep into the barrel.

Then another gunner picked up a twelve-pound projectile and stuffed it into the barrel. Then the gunner, as the highest commander of the gun position, took out a match rope from his bag and inserted it into a small hole at the end of the barrel. Kong Li.

The gunner finally moved his head to the scale at the end of the barrel to observe it, and then raised his right hand to indicate that the loading was complete.

Soon, an excited voice came from the walkie-talkie hanging on Jia Yu's left shoulder: "The artillery battalion reported that all artillery has been loaded."

Yes, you heard that right, this army already uses walkie-talkies.

As a security guard at the World Expo Center, Jia Yu's security room is equipped with a number of professional walkie-talkies.

Although the maximum communication distance of these walkie-talkies is only ten kilometers, it is enough for Jia Yu.

You don't have to be a fool to have good things. Jia Yu took out several walkie-talkies and gave them to several important officers such as Feng Ziying, Wu Yunchun, Xie Youyuan and the artillery battalion commander.

As for the origin of these things, Jia Yu only downplayed that they were obtained from the Xiyi people, and Jia Yu also specifically told them that these things were not given to them and would be returned after the war.

Now Jia Yu shouted loudly into the intercom: "The artillery battalion obeys my order...fire!"

"Boom..."

Following Jia Yu's order, fifty six-pound and twelve-pound imitation Napoleon cannons simultaneously sprayed out streams of white smoke...
