Chapter 29 Fight the Stone Bridge Again

Huang Shengqiang walked back and forth on the stone bridge and looked west from time to time. From Xiao Tianjian led his troops into the battlefield, it has been several hours now. It is not long before dark, but Xiao Tianjian has not led his troops back here, and the explosion on the battlefield and the sound of fire just stopped. After a long time, Huang Shengqiang couldn't help but be a little worried. He was afraid that Xiao Tianjian would suffer a big loss after entering the battlefield.

Fortunately, after a while, the sound of shooting began from the west. Huang Shengqiang knew that Xiao Tianjian had no problem and must be rushing back this way, so he suddenly became energetic and stopped and looked at the west hard.

After a while, several scouts rushed to the Xiaozhanghe Stone Bridge on horseback. As soon as they saw Huang Shengqiang, they shouted, "General Huang, the brigade of tartar soldiers rushed here to kill! Get ready!"

Huang Shengqiang was shocked, but he immediately calmed down again. He waved to the scouts to retreat to Hexi and loudly greeted Li Fusheng, the battalion commander who stayed with him in Hexi.

Li Fusheng is also an old subordinate of Xiao Tianjian. He has a calm personality. A long time ago, he drove a mule car to make a living. Later, he couldn't live. The mule was confiscated by the government. Even the big car was towed away. His wife and children starved to death. He became a strong man for the bandit, and then he devoted himself to Xiao Tianjian. At first, because he could drive a car, he was sent to the barracks as a chariot. Gradually, the Xing Tian army expanded. He gradually accumulated achievements and rose to the battalion commander of the barracks. This time, he was followed north by Xiao Tianjian.

After hearing Huang Shengqiang's words, Li Fusheng said in a muffled voice, "Listen to Brother Huang's transfer. The barracks is not a decoration. Let the Tatars see the power of our artillery and barracks!"

So in a short time, the soldiers of the camp were transferred to the head of the bridge and began to line up. The soldiers of the camp were very strong. Many of them were from handlebars, which were the most hard-working arms of the Xingtian Army. Usually, they did not show mountains and rivers and silently supported the battle of the barracks, but It does not mean that they are weak soldiers. On the contrary, the quality of the soldiers in the barracks even exceeds that of the soldiers in the barracks.

Moreover, the equipment quality of the barracks is also very good. Although it is equipped with not many armor, it is the largest proportion of the Xingtian Army in terms of firearms. Each barracks has 700 people, and the establishment is relatively small. However, there are 500 birds in the battalion alone, and there are also small flang machines captured from the officers and soldiers in many large vehicles. Cannon, in fact, every soldier is the gunner of the little Fran machine gun, and two of the three people in each car are firemen. To be honest, the firepower even exceeds that of many barracks.

Moreover, the most important thing for the soldiers is to train and operate the small Fran machine gun or the bird gun. It's just because the number of self-made fire guns is not enough to replace all the bird guns in the army. Nowadays, the soldiers in the barracks also use more old-fashioned bird guns. When fighting, they have to drag a fire rope, but this pair of soldiers The camp has little influence, and its firepower is quite strong.

Because this stone bridge is the only way for Xiao Tianjian to lead his troops to retreat to the west bank of the Xiaozhang River, Huang Shengqiang has not demolished the small stone bridge so far, but two buckets of gunpowder have been piled up under the stone bridge, and the lead has already been prepared. However, they will not blow up the pontoon bridge at this time. They must stick to Xiao Tianjian. Only after leading the troops to withdraw.

When Xiao Tianjian led his troops into the battlefield, he told Huang Shengqiang that he must guard the Little Zhang River and not let the Tatars cross the Little Zhang River.

The surface of the Xiaozhang River is not wide, only more than 20 steps. Now that it is cold on the twelfth lunar month, the river has long been frozen half a foot thick. There is no problem for people and horses to step on it. Therefore, after Xiao Tianjian led the soldiers to leave, the military battalion and the engineering brigade with the army immediately began to dig ice on the Xiaozhang River, and at the same time use Their carts were connected by the head and tail of the cart in the west of the river, and a barracks was built.

And these people did not work in vain. After most of the day, they chiseled a long section of ice on the river, and at the same time, they also chiseled ice on a long section of the river and embedded black wooden barrels.

Huang Shengqiang's artillery battalion and the direct artillery teams of each battalion are all under the command of Huang Shengqiang at this time. They built a gun array on the slightly higher ground next to the west bank car camp of the small stone bridge. After hearing the news that the tartar soldiers were coming, these gunners removed their gun bodies one by one by one. The gun clothes on it quickly began to work around a door with a three-pound and six-pound cannon. Even the left-behind personnel in the car camp began to mount the little Fran machine gun on the stand of the car, took out the small Fran machine guns from the boxes in the car, and loaded them into the mother gun, although Xiaofu The power and range of the Lang machine guns are very limited, but the scattering bullets at close range are very powerful. As the last means of defense, they are very effective, so they are not abandoned by Xiao Tianjian.

After Huang Shengqiang's orders were issued one by one, the soldiers gathered on both sides of the West Avenue of Shiqiao Bridge, forming two five-stage launch arrays.

The five hundred fire hands are neatly arranged at the spacing of one person, forming two arrays stretching for fifty people, which just firmly hold the stone bridge.

Some engineers quickly began to put iron thistle on the stone bridge. A string of iron thistle was removed from the cart and sprinkled on the stone bridge. In a short time, they were ready to fight.

After a while, a large number of Tatar cavalry first appeared on the east bank of the Xiaozhang River. A team stopped the rein from afar. The Tatar soldiers on the horse's back stared at the west bank of the Xiaozhang River stone bridge with cold and resentful eyes, and then a white poisonous dragon flag with red edges appeared on Huang Shengqiang's vision. Within the line, a group of Qing army generals slowly set foot in Hedong. Before long, more and more armored soldiers and soldiers of the Tatars also began to appear on the battlefield.

"Good boy! There are really a lot of soldiers! If you kill it with a knife, it will take a long time!" Huang Shengqiang looked at the soldiers with binoculars and said to Li Fusheng standing beside him.

Li Fusheng's expression was cold and did not answer, but there was also a fanatical look in his eyes. Usually, it was difficult for them to get the opportunity to fight head-on with the enemy, so the combat achievements were not easy to get, and few people who could become officers of the Xing Tianjun did not want to make achievements. Even if Li Fusheng was the battalion commander of the barracks. They also want this thing. Today, they finally have a chance. He is full of energy and is going to do a big job.

Huang Shengqiang saw that Li Fusheng did not respond, which was a little boring, but he turned his head and looked at Li Fusheng's expression. He immediately shook his teeth and smiled. He patted Li Fusheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li!" There are a lot of carazis today. Our artillery battalion can't finish it. It's killed by your military camp. Looking at your face, it's going to bleed. Don't be excited, haha!"

Li Fusheng shook his face and said to Huang Shengqiang, "Brother Huang is unkind. Usually, your artillery battalion has the most opportunities to show your face, but our barracks have not got a few opportunities to fight. Today, it's not easy to meet this opportunity. You can't fire first. How about letting our soldiers of the barracks have a good time first?"

Huang Shengqiang tilted his head and looked at Li Fusheng's face a little funny. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Your method is not bad. First, let the tars run to the bridge. After you finish fighting, we will fight in our artillery battalion. If you can't kill more tars, it's up to you today! Let the brothers of the barracks also have the addiction to kill people, but this time you have taken advantage of it. We killed the Taran soldiers this time! Haha! After you go back, you have to ask Lao Huang to have a good drink!"

Li Fusheng immediately laughed and saw that his teeth were blind. His usual stability was suddenly thrown out of the sky. When he said that there was no problem, he ran to the queue of soldiers under his command. Soon, he heard him roaring in his voice...
