The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Sure enough, George Lynch looked exhausted.

He stepped forward with dark circles under his eyes: "Mr. Zhao, you promise to let me watch the battle."

"Then if you're not afraid of death, just watch."

The current West Bridge will be demolished during future city expansion.

The two sides faced each other across a bridge, and Hu Da only brought more than 400 troops.

In terms of momentum, they are not inferior to the Russian soldiers; in terms of equipment, they are more sophisticated.

Neither side has any geographical advantages.

What tactics does Tsarist Russia have? Basically no tactics.

The established European powers did not recognize Tsarist Russia's imperial status at all, so they only called it Tsarist Russia.

Relying on their weaponry and numerical superiority, they usually adopt direct confrontation methods for continuous battles and pursuit strategies.

The same was true for the troops facing Lubin Mansion at this time.

There is no advantage in weapons and equipment, only the advantage in numbers.

A cavalryman galloped across the West Bridge from the direction of Manzhouli.

Hu Dayang raised his hand to stop his men who were about to shoot, and waited for the cavalry to come over.

"On behalf of Lieutenant Colonel Mikhail, I urge you to surrender. You guys cannot stop the advance of our army and do not increase casualties." The cavalryman said arrogantly on horseback. "Your prefect has been pinned down by Major General Putilov on the banks of the Hailar River in the east. You have no hope."

Hu Da looked strange.

It seems that Putilov was completely defeated last night and his troops were completely dispersed. There was no time to send someone to Manzhouli to report the news.

Lord Prefect? Isn't it right behind?

Hu Daduan sat on the back of the horse with a calm demeanor and pointed out: "We are small, but it does not mean that we are afraid, nor does it mean that we will lose. On the contrary, I would like to advise you to evacuate Manzhouli. Maybe you only have one day today." ”

The cavalryman laughed: "If you are stubborn, let war speak for itself."

After that, he rode back.

After he left, Zhao Chuanxin showed up: "After this time, we need to form an infantry and artillery battalion."

The characteristic of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty was that it had no permanent establishment except in towns and was very flexible.

Shed, platoon, team, camp, standard, association, town.

There are 14 people in the shed, platoon 14×4+4=46 people, team 138+14=152 people, battalion 608+51=659 people, standard 1977+28=2005 people, and association 4010+28=4038 people.

The artillery team stopped at the mark, 1,756 men.

The cavalry stopped at the mark, with 1,117 people.

The engineering team ended at 667 men in the battalion.

The baggage train ended at the camp, with 754 people.

The military band ended at the platoon, 51 people.

Therefore, the standard for a town is 4038+1756+1117+667+754+51+91 (people from the town) = 12512 people.

The standard number of people for an artillery battalion is 576.

Hu Da glanced at Zhao Chuanxin. Is this serious? The organization of Karen and the new army are quite different.

In the era of muskets, skirmishers were mostly used in battles due to accuracy and range. In the era of breech-loading rifled guns, concentrated breakthrough tactics were adopted.

More than two thousand Russian soldiers stationed in Manchuria began to charge.

Hu Da used a few small highlands and newly dug trenches as defense fortifications, which were very crude and shabby. Originally, they had no intention of being tough and gave the Lubin Mansion officials a moment and a half to delay before retreating. However, they did not expect that Zhao Chuanxin would fight so hard. Came back early and smoothly.

Bang bang bang...

The battle begins.

Zhao Chuanxin did not help immediately.

There is always a saying that echoes in his heart: Raise her like a beloved child and rely on her like the Great Wall.

If you don't carry a few guns and go into battle, you will never be able to train a suitable soldier.

The defender always has the advantage.

Not to mention anything else, the Russian Maxim given by Zhao Chuanxin caused the Russian soldiers to suffer a lot.

Ta ta ta...

When a machine gun fires, a thousand taels of gold are lost.

Without the help of fire suppression, the Russian soldiers could not cross the bridge at all. As soon as they charged, the offensive was contained and they hurriedly retreated.

Mikhail said: "We also mounted machine guns."

Although Zhao Chuanxin stole many machine guns, he never stole them all.

Machine guns were also fired on the other side of the West Bridge, and the Karen soldiers behind the fortifications here were also beaten until they could not lift their heads.

Hu Da was a little nervous, but he was still able to calm down.

Zhao Chuanxin was unmoved and just watched quietly from one side.

He couldn't use cannon this time, because Manzhouli had long been regarded as a treasure, and any destruction was undeserved.

There are actually good and bad aspects of artillery fire. When the attacker has the upper hand, if the artillery fire is too violent, it will blow up the front position like the surface of the moon, which will make it difficult to organize an attack.

But this is not a problem between the enemy and ourselves at this time.

The shortcomings of insufficient training soon showed up, and the soldiers in a machine gun position were picked by Tsarist Russia.

Hu Da quickly said: "Aim at their machine gun positions and hit them."

So they all went to suppress the machine gun position, but the Russian infantry took the opportunity to launch a second charge to cross the bridge.

Both sides suffered casualties, but both sides fought to the death.

George Lynch, who was on the rear, wrote in his notebook: Although the number of Chinese soldiers is small, they do not lack courage. These soldiers have an ax logo sewn on their sleeves, and let's call them the Gray Ax Cavalry. The Gray Ax Army is brave, but obviously lacks military training...

Zhao Chuanxin was counting, and he did not end until the number of casualties in his own camp exceeded fifteen.

There are too many casualties and the pension cannot be paid...

He bent his bow and drew an arrow, and whoosh...

boom……

Explosive arrows exploded on the West Bridge, and the Russian soldiers who surged onto the bridge were stunned by the explosion.

Zhao Chuanxin rushed to the battlefield, disappeared in a flash, and reappeared on the other side of the bridge.

He dodged twice in succession and reached the machine gun position behind the Russian army.

The flying fish spine whip was thrown out in a circle above the head, and the saw teeth wrapped around the machine gunner's neck.

Tsk...

The blood surged like a spring and was bright red.

What a miserable old man.

The deputy pulled out a pistol and shot Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin moved his body to one side and dodged a bullet.

The trigger of the double-action Nagant runner was very heavy. Before the opponent could fire a second shot, Zhao Chuanxin ran over and hit him with his knee.

boom!

The deputy flew backwards and blood came from his mouth and nose.

Zhao Chuanxin kicked away the machine gunner's headless corpse, took Maxim's handle, and forcefully swung the machine gun, which weighed 120 to 30 pounds with the gun mount, bulletproof shield and cooling water, half a circle, and turned the muzzle.

Tata Tata...

Zhao Chuanxin had an intelligent gyroscope to adjust the accuracy, and he was also an expert with a machine gun. He directly hit the bulletproof shield of another machine gun position and sent sparks flying.

The bulletproof shield is not 100% bulletproof because it has a rectangular aiming port.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a bullet passed through the aiming port and knocked over the machine gunner.

Zhao Chuanxin's bulletproof shield was also flying with sparks, and the enemy had already reacted and focused fire on him.

Zhao Chuanxin insisted on firing the bullet chain, rolled backwards, and galloped on the Misty Traveler.

The imitation Madsen fire tongue in his hand spits out.

The magazine was only half full.

boom……

Zhao Chuanxin threw away the disconnected imitation Madsen, and it exploded.

This is because the weapon material is tired or has internal damage.

After all, it is an imitation, and the quality is slightly inferior.

It was impossible to be injured. Zhao Chuanxin was fully armed, with sunfire, anti-armor, gargoyle plate armor... the stacks were almost full.

Even on the hands, there are war-scarred leather gloves inside, and the outer shell of the shipworm is still covered, but there is an extra white spot on the scales.

But it was also painful.

He took out the Lugang M1907 and fired the bow left and right, flashed, and fired at the head of the Russian soldier behind the bunker.

boom.

The brain blossoms.

Picked up, water dripping from the ground, bang, bang, bang.

Three shots missed, and he turned the butt of the gun and hit a Russian soldier who was rushing towards him on the forehead.

Boom!

The Russian soldier fell to the ground.

Explosive arrows shoot out.

boom!

Behind a bunker, three Russian soldiers all received lunch boxes.

After Zhao Chuanxin cleared the threat in front of him, he bent his knees and jumped violently.

He jumped three and a half meters high and landed on a tree trunk.

Take out the Russian Maxim and stick it on the thick tree trunk to shoot with the recoil.

Keeping the machine gun balanced, resisting the recoil, and controlling the muzzle trajectory, no one except him could do this in the tree.

On the other side, George Lynch held a telescope and stared with wide eyes.

Farke!

Is this even a human being?

He couldn't see clearly yesterday, but now it's daytime, and although it's cloudy, he can at least see clearly.

Zhao Chuanxin's fire-concentrating armor is as conspicuous as a shining diamond on the battlefield.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin was very fast, but the flash made it difficult for him to understand.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin was very powerful, but it was outrageous to be able to jump several meters high at once.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin was proficient in various ways of fighting, but no one had ever seen him as a full weapons master.

Sharp whips, pistols, rifles, light and heavy machine guns, bows and arrows, fists and kicks... seamlessly connected to ask you if you are afraid?

Are you afraid of being able to fire a heavy machine gun on a tree?

He asked Hu Er beside him: "Mr. Zhao is now the prefect?"

Hu Er nodded: "Yes, the main position is the prefect, and the deputy position is the executioner."

George Lynch: "..."

On the other side, Yao Bing said excitedly: "My master has climbed a tree, he is invincible..."

Rebecca Levi: "Hush, keep your voice down, don't let the enemy hear you."

Yao Bing yelled: "What are you afraid of? Come and I will kill each one."

As he spoke, he held up his wooden gun and said: "Beng Beng Beng..."

In fact, the position of the two of them is very safe. Let alone being unable to hit, even if they can be hit, bullets cannot penetrate such a thick rock. The Z-shaped periscope hole, unless the bullet can turn, will not be able to jump in even if it ricochetes.

Not to mention the enemy would hear them.

Hu Da said excitedly: "Be careful, don't accidentally hurt the prefect, help contain Mao Zi."

Zhao Chuanxin's posture at this time was very unique. He was holding the handle with both hands and one foot was pressed against the gun body to prevent it from falling off the tree branch.

But there was no delay in shooting.

At this time, the Russian soldiers had already begun to retreat, let alone wanting to break through the West Bridge.

Mikhail looked at it with eyes wide open: "Retreat!"

Maozi has always been afraid of being surrounded, whether now or in future generations.

Once trapped, I immediately panicked.

Now there are Hu Da and others suppressing them outside, and Zhao Chuanxin is here to shoot, which is not much different from being surrounded.

Walk?

When the bullet chain got stuck, Zhao Chuanxin pulled hard, removed the crooked bullet and reattached it. After emptying the last bullet, he put Maxim away.

He jumped down from the tree, his cloak straightened and his wings spread, and he grabbed a handful of branches to keep his balance as he landed.

I thought it would be great if I could use worm silk to upgrade my cloak.

Unfortunately, that thing is too expensive and I can’t afford it at this time.

He stepped on the Misty Traveler, drew out the Gray Slicer and chopped off the head of a Russian soldier.

laugh……

George Lynch in the distance opened his mouth wide when he saw this.

Is it okay to fight with a long-handled tomahawk in modern warfare?

With an ax in his right hand and a Lugang M1907 in his left hand, Zhao Chuanxin still hides his ability to press the bottom of the box and doesn't use it.

Russian troops have withdrawn across the board.

Hu Da looked at it and waved his hand: "Get on your horse and cross the bridge!"

It's time to beat up the drowned dog.

George Lynch saw that these people were in high spirits. After mounting their horses, they seemed to be more flexible than using two legs. They were simply born knights.

You can cross the bridge in an orderly manner without having to direct.

A Sauron man just crossed the bridge and saw a Russian soldier on the ground who was not dead. He wanted to pick up the bolt of his rifle, so he took the bow from behind and shot an arrow without aiming.

Yes, there are people carrying not only guns but also bows and arrows.

Duh...

An arrow shot into the chest of the Russian soldier.

There were also Ba-erhu men who drew out their cavalry swords and leaned over to hit them with exaggerated movements.

Everyone has a horse, all are cavalry.

After the cavalry crossed the border, Hu Er called to his patrol team: "Let's go, we will also cross the bridge to capture the prisoners."

George Lynch hesitated and followed.

When the Han, Mongolian, and Russian people in Manchuria saw the Russian troops storming out of the city, they returned in panic like a bereaved dog. The sound of gunshots came from far and near, and every household closed their doors in fear.

Street fighting began.

Zhao Chuanxin said to Hu Da: "Divide into two teams, one heading north and one heading east. The two teams will surround us and kill anyone who resists without mercy."

Hu Da received the order to divide his troops, while Zhao Chuanxin pursued in a straight line.

For a moment there were chaotic sounds of footsteps, gunfire, and thunderous hooves.

From time to time, glass breaks all over the place.

Soon the Russian soldiers knelt down and surrendered. Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Where is Mikhail?"

The Russian soldier's eyes flickered and he hesitated.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the Answer Stone, and the gray cutter chopped off the Russian soldier's head.

As the blood spurts out, the Answer Stone spins and points.

Zhao Chuanxin chased after him with an ax in hand.

Mikhail thought everything was safe, but clinker Zhao Chuanxin actually appeared at Xidaqiao. What does this mean?

It means that Putilov was defeated, completely defeated, otherwise Zhao Chuanxin would not be able to come back.

The idea that Putilovna's troops were defeated twice as many as his here made Mikhail lose his fighting spirit.

He rode a horse and ran as fast as he could in the alley.

Leng Buding turned around and saw a shining person more than a hundred meters away.

The ghost of Mikhail appeared: "Quick, cover me, cover me..."

The guard immediately turned around and shot.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly jumped onto the roof of a house next to the alley, took out another imitation Madsen and ran while shooting downwards.

Ta ta ta...

Immediately people fell on their backs.

Zhao Chuanxin was shot five times, appeared above the guards and jumped down.

In order to prevent the cloak from forming when he fell, he spun his body and took out the gray cutter.

The gray giant ax swept across, and the three guards were chopped off their horses.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the gray cutter out, and the ax whirled and chopped into Mikhail's horse's butt.

Xilulu...

The horse fell and the man fell.

Zhao Chuanxin dismounted one of the guards, blocked six or seven shots, and stretched out the flying fish spine whip forward to throw out the whip flowers.

Pia…

The three guards covered their necks and their arteries were cut open with sharp blades.

The whip was swung back slightly, wrapping around one person's arm, and Zhao Chuanxin pulled hard.

The guard's entire arm was cut off by the sawtooth.

Too brutal.

There was a Nagant wheel on the side of Zhao Chuanxin's hand. He took it out and scratched the hammer with his thumb and knew it was single-action.

Release the body and retract the whip.

Hold the trigger and press the hammer quickly.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang.

Gunpowder smoke rose and four men fell from their horses.

The remaining people retreated suddenly.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Chuanxin took an eight-meter step forward in front of Mikhail, who was pressed under the injured horse's body.

Pulling him out by his hair.

"Ah...it hurts..."

I don’t know if there is any baldness.

"Are there any reinforcements?" Zhao Chuanxin asked him.

Mikhail looked fearful, his eyes flickered, and he didn't answer, probably because he didn't understand.

Zhao Chuanxin asked the guards: "Is there anyone who can understand Chinese?"

Someone stepped forward timidly: "Yes."

"translate."

Mikhail shook his head: "No more."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't believe it, he saw it in the morning.

Put the barrel of the Nagant revolver into Mikhail's face.

After firing the gun, the hot barrel of the gun was so hot that he screamed.

"I'm going to fucking ask you again, are there any reinforcements?"

"Yes, yes, Chita and Nerchinsk have assembled a mixed division of 8,000 people and are coming. There is no train, and they are marching at a speed of 27 miles per day." Mikhail answered honestly.

It was impossible for reinforcements to come from the east. They could only mobilize troops from within Tsarist Russia and come from the north.

27 versts is about 28 kilometers. The intensity is not low, and it will take eight or nine days to get there.

But several days have passed, and we will arrive in Manzhouli in about three days.

In the morning, Zhao Chuanxin saw Russian soldiers, who should be the cavalry vanguard exploring the road.

He stared at the guards sinisterly: "Put down your gun and surrender. I'll count to three. If you don't disarm, all of them will die."

The translator hurriedly repeated it.

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Three!"

The translator's expression changed drastically.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly raised his fist and hit Mikhail's ribs.

Once, twice, three times, let go.

Mikhail collapsed on the ground, his face was like gold paper, blood was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were distracted.

Because the ribs were broken and pierced the internal organs.

The guards looked at it so much that they wet their pants.

The world says that Tsarist Russians are cruel, but the real cruel one is the man in front of him, who killed a Russian lieutenant colonel with three punches.

Zhao Chuanxin moved his neck and was about to take out his gun.

All the guards rolled off their horses and knelt on the ground with their hands raised.

In the face of absolute force, resistance is meaningless.

Zhao Chuanxin took off his helmet, extended his arms and stretched greatly.

He went to a nearby shop called Dongsheng Money Shop and knocked on the door.

There was silence inside the door.

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette and said, "Count to three and break in without opening the door."

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and an old man wearing a melon cap and a waiter nodded and bowed: "Master, you..."

"I am Zhao Chuanxin, the magistrate of Lubin Prefecture. You are not a military master, please bring me a chair."

"Yes Yes……"

The chair was brought out and Zhao Chuanxin sat on it.

The waiter was discerning and went to make a pot of tea and bring it to him. Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "I won't drink it."

The shopkeeper brought another tray with a red cloth on it and a row of silver coins neatly stacked on it.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned: "What the hell are you thinking? Am I here to extort money from you? Get out of here."

Now it's the shopkeeper's turn to be confused. Are there any officials who don't want money? Are there soldiers who don’t need money?

But he didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, a Russian soldier's knees were numb and he wanted to struggle to get up.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and fired.

boom.

The Russian soldier was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin carried the Lugang M1907 and put it on his knees. His body was loose and weak. He said sinisterly: "You can only do it if I ask you to do it. The gun is over there. If you are not convinced, just give it a try."

The shopkeeper and waiters were trembling with fear.

Really kill without blinking an eye.

The Russian soldiers were trembling with fear.

If you can't beat him, you don't dare to get angry.

That man was killed by Zhao Chuanxin just thinking about it.

They remembered Zhao Chuanxin's nickname - The Butcher of the Far East.

Gunshots and curses could be heard from time to time in the surrounding streets.

The sound of horse hooves never stopped.

The brave people in the city opened the curtains to check the situation.

The timid one bolted the door from the inside and hid in a safe corner until the fighting subsided.

Zhao Chuanxin was holding a pistol in his right hand and a cigarette in his left hand. He sat with his legs spread out and waited on the street.

He was thinking about how to deal with Nasha's division of more than 8,000 people.

Manzhouli has fallen into his hands, and it would be wishful thinking to spit it out again.

He wanted to let the people of Hyrule see the true nature of Tsarist Russia as a foreign power and a powerful country, and this goal should have been achieved now.

There is no need to let the Russian troops who came to reinforce a division go to Manchuria to cause damage.

Just as he was thinking about it, a Sauron man came over on horseback: "Master Magistrate, all those who can surrender have surrendered, and the rest fled north to the surrender station. We lost more than thirty people dead and injured in the chase."

The surrender point will be Zabaikalsk in later generations, but it does not have the size of a town yet.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded and asked him: "So many people died in this battle, are you afraid?"

The Sauron man bared his yellow teeth and smiled: "The magistrate is joking, our Sauron tribe kills several people every year when hunting pigs, not to mention the likes of tigers and bears who are hard to deal with..."

Some Sauron people make a living by hunting all year round. Wild boars move in groups. Once surrounded by wild boars, if they knock people down, don't even think about getting up. If you poke this head or push that head, the people will be beaten by their fangs. Stab to death.

Tigers and bears are more fucked up.

Wherever there are bears outside the customs, there must be stories circulating about someone who was licked by a bear and was completely changed beyond recognition.

It is said that the bear's tongue has barbs.

Not long after, George Lynch also came over, looking at the corpses appearing in the streets and alleys from time to time with fear.

He found Zhao Chuanxin and saw a group of Russian soldiers kneeling on the ground with drooping heads, while Zhao Chuanxin was sitting in front with his golden sword.

A feeling of comparison suddenly arose in my heart.

What if it was the British army who faced Zhao Chuanxin? With the same number of people, is it possible for the British army to win?

So excited, it’s a new month again.
