Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 591 Cavalry Vanguard

  Ilawarra Town

In the largest "Black Rock Tavern" in town, many sloppy coal miners gathered. They rolled up their sleeves and exposed furry chests and tattoos. They looked very rude and looked like evil. They were surrounding the middle one. The white, thin tall man yelled loudly;

  "Butler Pierce, can your words represent the will of Master Babous, don't wait for us to drive away those nasty yellow-skinned monkeys, when Master Babous will not admit it."

   "That's right... Guys, we can't do it for nothing."

   "Fuck, I don't care what the **** Oriental is or Master Barbos, I only care about who pays my wine bill, and I will beat anyone who pays!"

   "That's great... buddy, count me."

  "I think they are all black-hearted capitalists who **** human blood. They don’t have a good thing, they should all go to hell."

  The tavern was filled with a strong smell of sweat and tobacco. The white miners with excited expressions surrounded the decent people in tuxedos in the middle, and it was noisy like a vegetable market.

"OK, OK, I've heard all your demands, now listen to me quietly..." Butler Pierce simply stood on the table and loudly silenced these rude guys, even though he despised these mines from the bottom of his heart. Maggot, but there was a disguised amiable smile on his face, pretending to be sincere;

"My dear brothers of the white miners, Illawarra has belonged to us for hundreds of years, and has experienced five or six generations. The coal mines here are our cost of food. Now those despicable Orientals want to take them away. It must not be allowed.

Brothers of miners must make their own voices, otherwise it won’t be long before those Orientals will flood in like tides, occupy every mine, fill every tunnel, take away the job opportunities that originally belonged to us, and then take you The beloved white woman marries home, occupies your house, and enjoys your warm and comfortable bed.

  Think about it...and everyone here can only wander on the wasteland like wild dogs, be abandoned, be expelled...

  A team of soldiers are coming. They are the accomplices of those Eastern businessmen. The purpose of coming here is definitely something you don’t want to see. I hope everyone will take up their weapons to fight back and let these Easterners taste our power. "

  His words caused a lot of commotion among the white miners who didn't know a big print. Many people took out the revolvers from their waists cursingly. Seeing that a fire was about to happen, an abrupt voice asked;

   "You have said so much, but why did Master Babos sell the coal mine?"

Butler Pierce was furious, and turned his head to see rude faces one after another. He couldn't tell who said the words, so he raised his hands in the air and waved frantically; "Because these Orientals are all They are thieves, they shamelessly stole the coal mine of Master Babous. If you remain indifferent, they will take away your job opportunities, take away your women and children, until there is no more white man here, what you want What I did was kill these nasty Orientals..."

   "After saying so much, what can we get? Money or women?"

"Fuck...who is making trouble?" Butler Pierce looked around. There were those rough men in front of and behind him. Some people ridiculed and blew sharp whistles, causing everyone around to laugh, apparently. He couldn't move these people by lip service, so he resisted the disgust in his heart and said; "My dear brothers, white miners, Master Babos is willing to pay two pounds for every warrior who comes forward, as long as these Orientals are driven away. , The money is yours."

  "This is for us to sell our lives. At least £5, and we have to give money first..."

   "Wow, that's right, buddy, you have to give money first..."

   "Those Eastern cavalry are not easy to deal with. I think they are worth at least £10. You must know that they are all formally trained. This is really a war."

   "Yes, it must be 10 pounds, no...20 pounds."

  A group of rude men screamed and squeezed the table at the feet of Butler Pierce into a creak. Finally, it collapsed with a "slap" and fell off Pierce who was caught off guard.

Fortunately, he fell into the crowd and was not injured, but countless hands touched Pierce's body, tearing his decent tuxedo pockets, torn his collar, and even the back of the two dovetail backs were torn apart. Big mouth.

  Chaos, it’s just chaos...

  On the hill outside Illawarra town

  A large group of neatly formed cavalry arrived here, and the leading officer Duan Qirui raised his arm high and commanded loudly; “Stop advancing and fix it on the spot. If you don’t accept the team at night, you can quickly detect the enemy’s return.”

   "Yes, sir."

  A cavalry squad of more than 10 people galloped away, and the direction was the town of Illawarra in the front. It can be seen clearly under the blue sky and white clouds. This is a traditional Irish-style town.

  Ilawarra Town is located in the middle of a mountain col, surrounded by layers of 600-700 meters high mountains. It is located at the key point of the mountain, and a black road winds out from it, which is the channel for coal export.

  To enter the coal mine in the mountains, you must pass through the town of Illawarra.

The Irish-style stone spire buildings in the town are row houses. This is a two- to three-story conjoined building. The style is simple and heavy. Often five, six, or even more than 10 houses are connected together to form a long The row of buildings is similar to townhouses.

  This kind of row house only has a very small backyard, and the front yard is not big or not. It seems that the living is relatively cramped. In fact, there are different caves in it. Neighbors move around more and the relationship is closer.

  This architectural style is often reminiscent of a mysterious ancient ruin on the west side of Gull Lake in County Limerick, Ireland, known as the "Stonehenge" of Ireland.

  The Irish are like these closely lined up boulders, relying on each other and maintaining a cautious defensive posture, which seems to have been integrated into the national spirit.

The most representative nature is the church. This is a Christian church that combines Roman and Gothic architectural styles. It has Roman-style columns, stone arches, and exquisite Gothic sculptures and frescoes, giving people a magnificent and solemn look. The sense of.

  Duan Qirui interpreted it from another angle and found that this is a very difficult goal.

  If the miners in the small town insist on resisting, as long as they build barricades, the solid stone buildings will become fortresses, and the row houses will be a wall of walls, which will cost any attacker a heavy price.

  The stone building is cold and solid, it is a hard stubble.

The squad of investigating night non-collection came back soon, and the sturdy-looking squad leader reported; "Reporter, several intersections into the town have been blocked by mobs, and the intersections are blocked with wooden fences and gravel. There were a dozen or so people at the intersection. The mob refused to talk to us, and everyone was forbidden to approach. We could vaguely see that there were more gun mobs in the town. There were about three to five hundred people, maybe in the corner of the house. There are more, no way to know for now."

   "Well, all go forward, pay attention to maintaining speed."

"Yes, sir."

After Duan Qirui gave the order, the cavalry team approached the town of Illawarra in a tight formation. About 2 kilometers away, they heard a few crisp gunshots from the town. This was a mob. We are firing warning shots.

If    gets closer, he will shoot at the cavalry.

Without receiving an order to stop the advancement, the well-trained cavalry remained unmoved and continued to ride the horses slowly. When the distance was approaching 1 kilometer, they heard a "cracking" gunshot from the town. Several cavalrymen marching in front cried out and were shot and fell off the horse.

  "Stop advancing and prepare to fight..." Duan Qirui raised his arm high and gave the order, his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

The mobs are seeking their own way of death. Now they have an excuse to go to war. What awaits them is **** suppression; “The mobs dare to resist by force. The attack will be along the main road into the town. The third team will stay behind as the reserve team. The first and second teams are ready to dismount and attack. Now execute the order."

  After hearing the order, the cavalry hooted and dispersed.

Some soldiers were responsible for bringing down the injured cavalry for treatment. The soldiers of the third squad gathered their horses. The soldiers of the first and second squads took off their horses and prepared to attack. The artillery group and the heavy machine gun group removed the components from the pack horses. Ammunition, the weapon is assembled, and the position is selected to prepare for the attack.

  Duan Qirui looked at the situation carefully with the binoculars with a cold expression, and in his mind came the words of Lord Earl when he secretly summoned the cavalry captain;

  The Railway Cavalry, as the vanguard of the southward policy, must uphold the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and not being afraid of death, and use blood and fire to open a path until it leads to the final victory.

  As for the strong social repercussions caused by this, it is not a matter for the Railway Cavalry Team to consider.

  The task of the railway cavalry is to advance, advance, and then advance, smash all resistance and stubborn forces, and remember that the truth is within the range of the cannon.

   Pressing down on the fluctuating emotions at this time, Duan Qirui's eyes became more determined, and now that the big bosses have confessed, if he still doesn't know what to do... it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

  In the telescope

It can be seen that no less than 60 thugs have gathered on the main road of the town, all equipped with various long guns, hiding behind the chest-high barricade, clamoring for evil and evil, from time to time they fired a few shots to be bold. Laozi is not afraid of fear.

  The telescope is moved to the window of the row house facing the street, and you can see people looking at it from time to time, which exposes the wishful thinking of the thugs;

  That is when the cavalry attacked the town, they shot down from the windows of the row houses on both sides, and wiped out the attacking cavalry like a hare.

Many of these thugs are holding the Winchester Repeater, which is a fast-fire lever rifle. More than 10 bullets can be pushed into the magazine. You can fire a shot and pull the trigger to exit the shell, and then you can aim. Take a second shot.

  If the mob’s wishful thinking is really allowed to succeed, the cavalry will suffer heavy losses.

   Duan Yinrui's mouth showed a cold smile. The unorganized and undisciplined mob's undisciplined behavior has exposed the tail of the fox. Waiting for them will be a ruthless steel storm. Hope these Irish bones are hard enough!
