Chapter 2032

The food level of the Qing army was far inferior to that of the Haihan army. When fighting in the field, they basically just fried rice, fried noodles and marinated meat. If you can eat hot food, you can pick some wild vegetables nearby and cook them whole. However, because of this army's

Their nature and personnel composition are relatively special, so their treatment is slightly better than that of ordinary troops - at least they can enjoy fresher meat.

In addition to ammunition, the two carriages carrying heavy supplies in the team also contained several large baskets of food. They even had two cooks accompanying the team so that the musketeers could concentrate on training without being distracted by such trivial matters.

In Sun Bing's eyes, the scene of the Qing army burying pots and making rice was an excellent opportunity to take action. While eating, these Qing soldiers would definitely put down their weapons and seize this opportunity to launch an offensive.

If the opponent is caught off guard and it is difficult to launch an immediate counterattack, the Marines may be able to kill the Qing musketeers with one blow.

However, Sun Bing did not issue a battle order immediately. Instead, he sent messengers to rush back to the temporary base and asked the remaining personnel to notify the warships at sea to pick up the planned retreat location as soon as possible. As long as there is a move here, there will be a lot of movement. Although it is far away from the Qing Dynasty,

However, it is still within the enemy-controlled area. Regardless of the outcome of the battle, the Marines need to withdraw from this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the Qing army launches a large-scale counterattack, they will not be able to withdraw in time.

That's troublesome.

This is what Wang Tom specially warned before he set off. No matter what situation he encounters, he must first consider leaving an escape route for the troops. After all, this is an operation for the purpose of reconnaissance behind enemy lines, and they do not need to be behind enemy lines.

During the operation, fighting to the death with the enemy and bringing back valuable information is the first priority - of course, it would be best if the enemy's musketeers can be destroyed or a few people can be captured alive.

After arranging the retreat route first, Sun Bing began to deploy manpower and deploy tactics, preparing to take action against this Qing army musketry team that did not seem to be very experienced.

After the reinforcements were transferred from the temporary base, Sun Bing's men and horses were basically the same as the Qing army at the foot of the mountain. However, the weapon performance and combat experience of the two sides were completely different. In addition, Sun Bing was very confident that he could defeat

Yamashita's opponent. But whether he can capture the foreign instructor Wang Tom requested may depend on luck.

Sun Bing divided his manpower into three groups. He took command of the central army, and the left and right wings were responsible for encircling and encircling him. Although his troops were limited, as long as he could catch the opponent off guard, he could still have beautiful tactical coordination.

Bayano's eating habits are quite different from those of the locals. He likes to eat seafood, beef, bread and other foods, as well as the natural spices added in the cooking process. The senior officials of the Qing army gave him some favorable treatment for these eating habits.

With certain care, except for the spices produced in the southern tropical regions, other ingredients can basically guarantee retribution. Even seafood is available. The Qing army, which has long been blocked from sailing,

I still tried my best to dig some shrimps, crabs and shellfish from the coast to make do with it.

Although it is a bit troublesome to deal with these details, considering the scarcity of special instructors like Bayano, the Qing army still hopes to meet his personal needs as much as possible so that he can pass on his true skills.

The content of Baiano's picnic today is seafood baked rice and a piece of grilled steak, which is also his personal favorite combination. However, due to the simple conditions in the field, the taste is naturally different from what he usually eats in the camp.

There is a slight gap. But Bayano thinks it is quite good. Being able to eat such a meal in the wild environment is also a very new experience for him. Compared with being called around by others in the Philippines,

It seems not bad to be treated like a superior in the Qing Dynasty - it would be even better if you don't have to deal with these Qing soldiers who are as stupid as wood every day.

When Bayano was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard some of his soldiers shouting, and then a commotion began. Before Bayano had time to ask, the translator next to him had already proactively reminded him: "Sir, there is an enemy attack.

!”

Bayano quickly threw away the knife and fork in his hand and stood up. He looked in the direction of the commotion and saw shadowy figures in the forest over there. It seemed that many people were walking quickly among them.

As far as Bayano knows, the Qing army has never arranged training such as field training, and after winter, even going out has been reduced a lot. Except for changing defenses, very few organized troops leave the camp.

Go out, let alone go into the mountains and forests. But if there are enemies appearing here, Bayano is a little confused. It is unlikely to pass through the fortress defense line from the south, so it should be from the sea.

Yes. And it seems that Haihan's family is the only one that can project troops to this area from the sea.

Thinking of this section, Bayano suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He had dealt with the Haihan Army and knew that this opponent never fought an unprepared battle. If he dared to land here and now, he would definitely have to take some relatively large measures.

Action was taken. Bayano still did not realize at this time that the enemy appearing here and now was actually targeting him and the musketry team he commanded.

But while he was hesitating for a moment, the enemy in the mountains and forests had already arrived nearby, and as soon as they appeared, they opened fire on the Qing army.

As soon as the opponent opened fire, Bayano immediately felt a familiar smell - he fought with the Haihan Army in Manila at the beginning of the year, and the opponent's firepower was so dense and powerful!

The seven-shot rifles equipped by the Marine Corps were far superior to the muskets of the same era in terms of firing frequency, and almost instantly tore apart the Qing army that was trying to gather with intensive firepower.

Although the Qing army also had weapons, most of them were eating at this time and had no time to pick up their weapons. During the suspension of training, it was certainly impossible for the Qing soldiers to load these rifles with ammunition and put them next to them, so when they

When he realized that the enemy was attacking and planned to take up arms to fight back, he lost the most precious opportunity because he needed to reload ammunition.

When the Haihan Army conducted the first round of shooting, only a few of the Qing soldiers had picked up their weapons, but they had not had time to load ammunition. Moreover, their cotton armor and light iron armor were temporarily removed for eating.

When they came down, many of them were wearing only a leather jacket, which did not provide any protection against gunfire. Dozens of people fell down almost as soon as the gunfire rang out.

Bayano shouted to assemble, but he suddenly discovered that in such a moment of confusion, the translator had disappeared. When he turned around, he saw that the guy had climbed on the back of a horse and was about to run away.

Naturally, Bayano would not let this guy slip away. He rushed over in three steps, grabbed the guy's arm, and pulled him off the horse. The translator knew that he could not leave alone, so he quickly advised

: "Sir, please run away quickly, this Haihan army cannot be defeated!"

Bayano said angrily: "If you dare to escape, I will kill you! Quickly give me an order for the soldiers to assemble towards the northwest!"

After just a moment of delay, more than ten people were knocked down by the rifle bullets of the Haihan army. By the time the translator shouted at the Qing soldiers to convey Bayano's order, even the combined attacks on the left and right wings were already in place.

Once the crossfire is formed, the next step is to carry out a unilateral killing of these Qing soldiers.

The Qing soldiers finally realized that they could no longer use muskets to fight back against the enemy. However, in addition to muskets, they also carried their own customary weapons according to the tradition of the Qing army, such as sabers, bows and arrows, iron hammers, and short spears.

At this moment they were all reactivated.

However, most of these cold weapons can only be used for close combat. It is far from enough to compete with the Marines. It is more like a desperate struggle. They can't even rush to a battle where they can exert the power of their weapons.

Within a short distance, they had already fallen into the hail of bullets.

In such a one-sided fighting situation, the Qing troops were lost very quickly. Every time a round of gunfire sounded, several people would fall to the ground. Before the instructions given by Bayano were implemented, the strength of his troops had already been reduced.

About a third less.

At this time, the brave and fierce Qing soldiers were already furious. Even if some of them heard the interpreter's words, they were unwilling to retreat and use the useless fire sticks.

Bayano is also a soldier with rich actual combat experience. It seems that it is impossible to reverse the situation. If the delay continues, everything will have to be explained here. For now, he can only evacuate quickly and rush back to the camp to move reinforcements. Maybe

There is still hope of intercepting and killing these Haihan soldiers on the shore.

However, when the translator once again conveyed Bayano's order with a loud voice, he attracted a firestorm and was instantly turned into a hornet's nest.

Sun Bing had been keeping an eye on the foreign instructor in the Qing army formation. After many days of observation, he had long known that the foreign instructor needed to pass orders through an interpreter. After finding the position of the interpreter, he decisively ordered

Concentrate fire to kill the translator. In this way, the opponent's command system will be destroyed immediately. The foreign instructors will be unable to issue clear orders to the Qing soldiers, and the opponent will basically be unable to organize a decent counterattack.

When Bayano saw that the translator died unexpectedly, and when he felt that danger was coming towards him, he realized that he could not turn the tide, and immediately made a choice.

"Let's go!" Bayano used Manchu, one of the few words he could speak, to give orders to the several Bagala warriors around him.

These Bagala warriors serve directly to Huang Taiji. When Huang Taiji asks them to protect Bayano and obey Bayano's command, they will do so unconditionally. Even in this chaotic situation, these Bagala warriors have

He did not participate in the battle, nor did he flee in a hurry. Instead, he continued to stay with Bayano and perform his guard duties.

Although they may not agree with Bayano giving up resistance and choosing to evacuate at this time, since this is Bayano's order, they will still obey it. As long as Bayano can escape safely, then their responsibility is also

Even if they have done their best, as for the life and death of other people, that is not their responsibility.

At that moment, someone took Bayano's mount to protect him and evacuate. However, their movements were also within the scope of Sun Bing's observation. Seeing that he was preparing to evacuate, Sun Bing ignored Wang Tom's request to capture the foreigner alive.

The instructor immediately ordered to fire and kill the opponent.

Sun Bing's idea is very practical. As long as this foreigner is killed, the Qing army will probably not be able to find another instructor to take over for a while. After all, the Spanish colony is in the distant South China Sea. When the news here is spread back to the South China Sea, they will not be able to find another instructor to take over.

Let the other side send someone over, and it will probably take three to five months. Even if the clues are interrupted because of this, it can at least slow down the Qing army's training of musketeers, so if you can't capture this guy alive, you can kill him decisively.

It can be regarded as a favorable way to deal with Haihan.

However, the scene was chaotic at the moment, and the instructions given by Sun Bing could only be carried out by the men and horses in the middle under his command. In addition, it took the soldiers a while to identify the target. When the fire started, Bayano had already started to run away, and there was a burst of gunfire.

When he fought, he knocked two of the Baya La soldiers who had retreated with him off their horses. Sun Bing also fired two shots, but they all hit empty spaces.

The effective killing distance of the Marine Corps rifle is at least one hundred feet, but the shooting distance that can guarantee the hit rate is only about one-third of this data. Beyond this distance, it is a random hit. And Bayano escaped on horseback.

As a result, the distance was quickly widened, and the skill of shooting moving targets was extremely difficult to master. Even Sun Bing, who led the team, could not fully master it. After firing two empty shots, Bayano had already escaped from where he could.

Aiming range.

Sun Bing knew that there would be trouble after this man escaped, but the problem was that he had to clean up the mess in front of him first and could not immediately launch a pursuit. After Bayano took the lead in escaping, the remaining Qing soldiers also realized that it was impossible.

Because of this, they immediately got on their horses and planned to flee. However, there were not many targets left at this time. The Marine Corps quickly launched a concentrated fire attack on the few remaining Qing soldiers, and those who successfully escaped were able to take advantage of the chaos.

There were only about ten people there.

At this time, Sun Bing had two choices before him. There were many war horses in the field. He could order a horseback pursuit, or he could retreat to the sea according to the original plan after clearing the field for safety.

Sun Bing thought for a while and chose the latter. The risk of chasing on horseback was too great. If he could kill the foreign instructor, it would be the icing on the cake, but if he failed to catch up, it would delay his evacuation time.

This team is stranded on land, so there is no news they can bring back. Since their superiors have said that gathering intelligence is the first priority, they must ensure that they leave this place successfully.

The Marine Corps quickly completed the cleaning of the battlefield, directly dealt a blow to the seriously injured Qing soldiers, then led a few horses to carry the prisoners and captured guns, and quickly returned from the original route.
