Wudaogou is not a ditch, but a river. It originates at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains and flows across the east side of Zhenyuan City. It is only 300 miles long and is only 30 meters wide. It is not very deep. It is only 1 meter deep at the deepest point. It is a seasonal river. It has water in spring and summer, and it drys into shallow ditches in autumn and winter. Its origin is no longer verified. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was already the place where the troops were reclaimed. There were fertile fields along the river. By the early Qing Dynasty, it was back.

The Han, Uyghur, Kazakh and other ethnic groups lived here. When the population was the largest, it reached more than 10,000. Later, due to the rise of Junggar, all ethnic groups here gradually moved. When the general Wang Lao Shifou stationed troops in Zhenyuan City, the people along the river were either moved to Zhenyuan City or scattered to the Laoye Temple area. The land gradually became deserted and became a place where weeds grew. But if there was no one in the world, it would not be possible. At this moment, there was a group of more than 40 people galloping along the river and patrolling.

"Sir Baihu, look, the clear dog is here!"

Although the Wudaogou area was very deserted, the Junggar patrolmen did not dare to take it lightly. Even when they were galloping, they did not forget to look around with vigilance. The focus of their attention was naturally on the east wind across the river. Because of this, when a small stream of smoke and dust had just rolled up behind the hills in the distance, an alert whistle had already issued an alarm at the first time.

"Stop moving forward and turn to the array!"

The leader of the hundred-household team who was sent to the forefront to perform the mission was naturally not an idiot. Although he had not seen the shadow of the Qing army, he immediately determined that the number of visitors was not large, and at most it was only a dozen cavalry. It was obvious that they were just the outpost of the Qing army, so he didn't care much about it, but when he saw him wave his hand, he was already indifferent to the order.

"yes!"

This small team of Mongolian cavalry was selected and fierce. When they heard the order, they were very quick and they all stopped the running horses and set up a warning formation along the river bank. Not only that, even the fuse was lit, and more than forty coercive guns were neatly aimed at the smoke and dust on the other side of the river.

"Stop, array!"

As expected by the head of the Junggar's hundred households, the Qing cavalry rushed out of the hilly area was only sixteen cavalry. The leader was a young officer dressed in the costume of the eighth-rank Fenwu Certificate. This person was Shan Kunshan, an intern platoon leader of the vanguard battalion of the First Cavalry Division of the Qing army. Although he was not old, he had three years of military experience. He had made a lot of contributions in the Battle of Sanchuan Camp in Banuan not long ago, so he was promoted to the platoon leader by the line of fire. When he was in high spirits, even though he had already seen the Junggar cavalry waiting in the distance as soon as he rushed out of the hilly area, he did not care and still rode forward and ran forward. However, he was not too careless. He led his troops to a distance of about two hundred steps from the Junggar cavalry array. He immediately waved his hand and gave an order.

As soon as the Qing army stopped, the originally unmoved Junggar cavalry array immediately stirred up a slight disturbance. It was probably because the stopping position of the Qing army's rovers was too uncomfortable, and it was just at the edge of the effective range of the match rope gun. At this distance, the hit rate of the match rope gun was difficult to guarantee. Even if it hit the target, it did not have much lethality. It was really frustrating to make the Junggar cavalry fight, and it was not impossible to fight.

"Rise the gun!"

Although he could not see the expressions of the Junggar cavalry at this time, Shan Kunshan knew that the other party must be so depressed that he was not a random choice. He had already known the effective range of the convex gun held by the Junggar cavalry, and did it on purpose. He had only one, to give the Junggar cavalry a good shooting class. At this moment, when he saw the Junggar cavalry still standing foolishly on the other side of the river, Shan Kunshan couldn't help but be happy, raised his hand with a grim smile, and shouted coldly.

"Swish!"

Those who can enter the Pioneer Camp are all the elite among the elites, and they are very familiar with the tactical movements. With the order of Shan Kunshan, fifteen cavalrymen took off the cavalry rifles behind them in an orderly manner, with flat hands in their hands, and silently aimed at the Junggar cavalry array in the distance.

"Call me!"

Shan Kunshan paused for a moment, and after all the Qing cavalry were ready to shoot, he waved his hand hard and issued a loud order.

“Bo, Bo, Bo…”

The distance of two hundred meters is not close, but it is not a big deal for the Qing army's cavalry with an effective range of up to four hundred meters. They have been used to it on weekdays. In addition, the Junggar cavalry are standing still and are simply a target. When the Qing cavalry shoots, they are very comfortable. A roulette of guns is called over, and eight Junggar cavalrymen fell down on the spot, killing five and four injuring!

"Fire, fight back, fight back!"

The head of the Junggar hundred-household households was planning to wait for the Qing army to advance, but he didn't expect that the Qing army would just call him in a random manner. When he saw that he had met, nine people fell down. He immediately became anxious and roared regardless.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The mesh guns in the hands of the Junggar cavalry were all eliminated by the Russian army. They were a little old, but most of them were well maintained. When they were shot, they were still very powerful. Not only did the gunshots sound, the smoke from the muzzle was also very large. The sound was quite loud under the volley of more than thirty guns. As for the results of the battle, it could not be said that there was no. Just a Qing soldier's arm was hit by a stray bullet, but it was just a pain, and his skin was rubbed and some blood was bleeding. In addition, the volley of the Junggar officers and soldiers was only left with a sound of excitement.

"Grandma, I dare to fight back. Raise your gun, aim, and hit me hard!"

Seeing that the Junggar cavalry dared to fight against their own side, Shan Kunshan was unhappy and roared in cursing.

“Bo, Bo, Bo…”

The cavalry rifle in the Qing army was an improved version of the army's standard weapon - a needle gun. The gun body was much shorter, and the total length was only about one meter three. The barrel and stock were obviously much smaller. The loading method was the same as the needle gun. The breeze was used, and the bullets were generally the same. They were all paper-shelled bullets. The power was nearly half the difference compared to the effective range of six or seven hundred meters by the needle gun used by the army. But even so, it was not comparable to the master gun used by the Junggar. Now the Junggar cavalry were still busy loading black gunpowder for the convex gun. The Qing army had already started the second round of volleys, but this time the volley was obviously a little hasty, and the hit rate decreased, so they only achieved three results - one death and two injuries.

"Damn it, I'm so panicked. I'll aim for me before shooting. Keep shooting, don't stop!"

Seeing that the second round of volleys were not good, Shan Kunshan's face immediately became a little uncomfortable, and he cursed in anger.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The cavalry rifles in the Qing army were firing one after another, and they kept firing at the speed of twelve bullets per minute. On the other hand, the messile guns in the hands of the Junggar cavalry could only be fired twice a minute. The difference was too big. The result was naturally self-evident. This small-scale outpost battle had only been started for only one cup of tea. The Junggar could no longer bear it after making the convenience. After paying nearly half of the casualties, the Junggar family leader did not dare to continue the battle. He waved his hand in a furious manner and led his troops to escape from afar.

"Bah, a coward who is unbeatable!"

Seeing that the Junggar cavalry had fled to the distance, Shan Kunshan did not dare to order the pursuit of the relentless pursuit. He just cursed disdainfully. Then, he waved to a cavalry and ordered him to rush back to report the news immediately. However, he led a group of cavalry to explore the crowd, and did not care about how the Junggar cavalry hiding in the distance on the other side of the river were furious and angry...

It was midsummer, and it was in the vast sea of ​​sand again, without even a cover. This kind of suffering was not so good, but Yue Zhongqi obviously didn't care. She stood on the top of a sand dune, looking at the brigade of officers and soldiers passing by her feet expressionlessly. Until a whistle detective rushed up the sand dune, Yue Zhongqi then frowned, but did not ask.

"Report to Commander Yue, our cavalry, one company and one row of sixteen cavalry in the Pioneer Battalion of the First Cavalry, suddenly investigated. He encountered forty-five enemy cavalry in Wudaogou. He fought across the river and annihilated twenty enemies. None of my casualties were killed or injured. The enemy cavalry had retreated. However, he still could not move on the other side of the river. The single platoon leader ordered Xiao to come and report to the news and ask Commander Yue to make a clear decision."

The horse rushed up the sand dune quickly, got off the horse with a clean saddle, tickled one knee, and reported loudly.

"Search along the river bank, don't cross the river!"

Yue Zhongqi quietly listened to the statement of the horseman, and her dark face was still calm and there was no word of praise. She just waved her hand and gave a silent command.

"twitter!"

The horse was obviously confused about Yue Zhongqi's order, but he did not dare to say too much. He quickly agreed to the promise and hurriedly rode his horse down the sand dune, leaving the order ahead without mentioning it.

"map!"

Yue Zhongqi ignored the departure of the horse and still sat upright on the horse's back, but the light flashed from time to time in her eyes. After a long time, she grunted without looking back.

"twitter!"
