C1493 Intense Fire Welcome

This piece of land outside the pass had never been properly developed ever since ancient times. Especially after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, this piece of land outside the pass was even protected as their last resting place.

Only a limited number of Han people were allowed to live here, and they had to be confined to a fixed village. The rest of the people had been fishing and hunting for thousands of years, and had no chance of obtaining an upgrade to the Central Plains civilization.

This land was primitive and vast. The roads were sparse, the farmland scattered, and most of the land was deep forest and mountains. It seemed that other than the Liaohe Plains which was a bit more flourishing, the rest of the plains were basically what they were like three thousand years ago, and still what they were now.

In a war on such land, the only thing restricting the march was not the road but the forest. Unlike the march on the Mongolian Great Prairie, the Cavalry did not have much of a chance to make a detour, they could only choose the ancient route developed by humans over thousands of years to advance.

On both sides of the road, there were deep mountains and ancient forests. There were hundreds of old trees, and riding horses in this kind of forest was impossible, moreover, it was easier to get lost in the forest, so unless absolutely necessary, the Rakasha cavalry Group would never enter the dense forest.

Along the stream upstream from Suifen River to Wusuli River, the relay road was narrow and steep, the ten-odd kilometers of road leading to Little Earth Gate Mountain Ferry was even narrower, only able to go hand in hand with three war horses. The fifteen hundred vanguards were all dragged along like a dead snake.

"Where is it? Where is our guide? "Bring it up …" Captain Vanguard roared.

Two frightened villagers were brought up on horseback, tied to the horses. "The border crossing is ahead, the small dirt gate crossing …" It's right across the street from your Raksha Country... "Don't kill me, don't kill us …"

"Damn thing, we are Shao, not Russian. Don't think I don't know the meaning of that noun …" "Say, how many soldiers are there at that ferry?"

"There are only 20 some veterans guarding here. I'm not lying to you, I'm really not lying to you …" "However, I don't know how many volunteers there are on the other side of the river. I really don't know …"

"Send a company to investigate, and then send out a messenger to inform the troops behind us that we have reached the border. If it is safe, we will create a safe crossing point for the army."

A string of cavalry soldiers charged forward, the hundred odd cavalry soldiers quickly found a simple and crude sentry post. There were three dilapidated wooden houses, and outside stood two old veterans with their bodies covered in rags.

The cavalry made three laps in a row, only to see two cowardly veterans kowtowing and begging for mercy, and the entire sentry post was empty.

"Company Commander, just as we thought, this group of cowards all ran away … Let's go to the other side to take a look! "

Company Commander jumped down from his horse and walked in front of the old soldier who was kowtowing, calling out to the translator, "Where are the soldiers? And where are the militia? Was there an ambush on the other side …

"Fuck you …" The veteran lying on the snow suddenly scuttled away without any warning, with his hand holding a small, bright, small piece of paper, he stabbed towards the chest of the Rakshasi Company Commander.

"Be careful …" Russian soldier, who was woken up by the noise, used his shoulder to push Company Commander aside. In the end, the small knife stabbed into his ribs, causing blood to ooze out all of a sudden.

"That damned assassin!" "Kill him …" A group of cavalrymen rushed up from the back of the horse, raised their bayonets and stabbed down at the old soldier. The bayonets stabbed into his shoulders and back, causing the old soldier to feel dizzy from the intense pain.

"I have finally come to the end of my life …" Fortunately … "I haven't lost my conscience even when I died …" The veteran's head raised his head and roared, only then did people realise that there was a wooden grenade that was produced by the Ryukyu in his arms, emitting smoke.

"Explosives …" With a loud bang, the war horse was knocked down by the blast from the explosion, and several cavalry soldiers were blown into a bloody mess.

At this time, another veteran turned his head and ran back into the cabin, closely followed by the sound of kerosene lamps being smashed into pieces. Flames and thick smoke instantly came out.

"Make your move!" "Too late …" The dying soldier's voice came from the smoking window.

Smoke and fire were the signal, and in less than three minutes, a dozen points of fire suddenly appeared at the two sides of the road, in the direction of the wind.

Today was the northwest, they started a fire from the northwest side of the relay road, the thick smoke quickly caused Rakasha cavalry to cough out loud. An ambush, an ambush here... "Cough, cough, cough …"

In the forest, more than ten carts of vegetable oil had already been spilled on the shrubs and trees. There were still many wooden obstructions that had been temporarily felled by the residents of the mountains during the winter. Spilling vegetable oil was the best fuel.

More than ten figures were running in the forest with torches in hand. They knew that it would be difficult to burn the Russian to death in this fire, and the speed of the fire could not keep up with the war horses.

The flames could not catch up with the enemy, but the smoke could drive them away. Once the wood was burnt, it would emit smoke, and even if they could not kill these Russian s, they would at least be burned to death.

"Faster passage through the relay road... Send Rangers to scout the south, to bypass this ferry … " Before the commander had finished shouting, he heard gunshots from the forest to the south of the road. A large number of cavalrymen on the road were knocked down.

"Shoot …" Keep Shooting... "Here's Duck …" In the forests to the south, there were always signs of galloping horses. The samurai's unique order to charge forward was almost unforgettable.

"The ambush of the loyal troops... Third Company, Fourth Company entered the forest to counterattack. The rest of the troops rapidly attacked the ferry … We'll gather on the other side of the river! "

The vanguard cavalry began to move, and the specially made Pudan Rifle that was used by the Rakasha cavalry began to fire back. The sounds of bullets shooting could be heard from the forest, as well as the sound of bullets hitting the tree trunk.

"Zhu Shanchou... Retreat... The enemy has already lured them in and is preparing to capture them alive … " Qian Tianyongerlang shouted from the depths of the forest. They knew that the Russian Army did not have any Japanese translators, so they did not fear that the other party would know what he meant.

"Wait for me for a while, I will kill another round …" "Throw out grenades, blow them to death …" Zhu Shanchou's killing intent soared, she did not want to retreat so easily.

Zhu Shanchou did not dare to disobey his elder sister's orders, he raised his hand and shot down one of the enemies. "Let's go, retreat!"

In the end, the Russian who was in pursuit of him could only see a big tree and a ditch in front of him. The war horses could not run fast, and had to turn their horses to avoid obstacles.

samurai who was fleeing in front, didn't turn around to give a little counterattack. She immediately escaped like a mosquito, which was really annoying.

"Pu * * y! Damn coward! If you have the ability to fight us... Aiyo, my god! "What is this …" Amidst the screams, four to five warhorses fell from the sky.

"There is a stumbling block …" Everyone be careful! "
