1890 King of Southeast Asia

"The cavalry follows the pursuit. Be sure to bite the enemy, send two battalions, follow the cavalry, and choose to enter the city."

"In addition, send a battalion infantry, bypass the city of Zash, choose to attack, take back Zash City."

"The main force follows me to the Palace of Ladu, Southwest of the city, and won the Ladabu Palace. This battle is also half end."

Zhao Erfeng held the telescope and watched the escaped soldiers who had escaped, calmly ordered.

For him, this was a little unreal, and he hadn't sent troops to attack, just to fight for a while.

Moreover, although the momentum is strong, his 75mm "heavy artillery" has no power at all. There are only some 37 guns or 47 and 57mm guns.

Among them, the 37 guns are really only strong. After all, the distance is not close, the diameter is not large, and the accuracy is generally weak.

(Qing Bing prefers 57 guns, and the first artillery produced by the Hanyang plant was 57 guns. Later, due to the development of the times, 75 guns were made after the 75 guns were reduced.)

(The reason why Yuan Gongbao's Beiyang Army is strong is because he has 48 guns, and it is a domestic heavy artillery of 75mm.)

That's it, these ** soldiers couldn't stand it, and fled wildly.

In fact, these soldiers were brave and once very heroic. For example, in the War of Resistance Anti -British War, countless soldiers used backward weapons to resist the British.

Even if they endured huge casualties, they still did not yield and did not escape.

However, that's external, this is inside.

For hundreds of years of direct rule, thousands of years of cultural contact, the plateau has long been a member of the Chinese civilization.

Many of these soldiers think that they are "rebellion", just like when ordinary people are illegal and criminal, they will definitely be panicked. (Metrics and natural bad species are not ordinary people.)

The same is true for these ** soldiers. They have no fighting spirit at all. One artillery was bombarded, and three shots were put in the sky, which was worthy of **.

Although Zhao Erfeng didn't know this, he even felt that this might be the trick of the enemy, but he didn't care.

These people have no rules, and they are obviously collapsed. Even if they seduce the enemy, Zhao Erfeng can use it.

"The artillery is also a credit this time. Go back and check this matter. Come to report tonight.

When Zhao Erfeng rushed out, he waved his hands against the Tang Ze tribe on the side.

The Tang Ze people worshiped and retreated.

He didn't go back directly, but ran to a humble place and continued to observe the battle.

The cavalry did not hesitate to charge, and the plateau soldiers bite their tails before returning to Sunlight City.

Some plateau soldiers threw their guns on the spot, kneeling on the ground, and surrendering towards the Plateau Border Defense Forces -these are the underlying soldiers who were unwilling to rebel.

Zhao Erfeng did not think about embarrassment of these underlying soldiers. After all, they did not have to choose and did not choose at all, so they ordered the gun to not kill.

The other part chose to resist, about one or two hundred people, some who stood at the original place to shoot at high -speed cavalry, and some found a bunker. Generally, it was a stone soil bag and shooting the plateau border defense army.

These people, at first glance, are hardcore rebellions.

Treating these people, the cavalry of the Plateau Border Defense Force was no polite. Standing in place, he was crushed by Ma Qun and turned into a beacon.

If you find a bunker, you can change up to one or two, and then be killed after being around.

Suddenly ...

Suddenly, the sound of machine guns was remembered on the battlefield, and it came from the direction of Sunlight City.

The cavalry of the Plateau Border Army was biting the ** soldiers. It was relatively concentrated and spread slowly. It was swept off by dozens of machine guns.

boom!

The plateau border guards on the battlefield heard a stuffy sound like a thunder day.

BOOM!

The smoke column rose in the sunlight, and the sound of machine guns stopped.

"Okay!" The Tang Ze tribe followed the sound of the artillery, and was the head of the mountain barracks.

"They really pushed the cannon to the front." The Tang Ze tribe laughed.

The captain of the mountain barrack went to the logistics team to take a few packs of launch medicines, and half of them were all about the tide. When he was hesitant to bet or not, the enemy was out of charge.

Seeing this, the battalion was shocked, he hadn't had time to fire yet!

Although the launching drugs that are trained diligently are also moisture, his responsibility will be smaller, but they will not be able to change their name!

The crime of this name and the tide of launching medicine was enough to make him unbearable.

As a last resort, he took a few artillery bullets, found two horses, and pulled the cannon to rush the front line.

As long as the distance is close enough and the near -distance is directly radiated, you don't need to care about the moisture of these Xu. Anyway, you can use it.

Of course, risk is not without.

There is a problem with the launching medicine. It is more relaxed that they are affected by the shooting distance.

The more serious is that the launch of the medicine is deflated -causing bombing.

He deliberately picked a few boxes closer to the middle, and they were more likely to be tidy.

"In front of the right, find the firepower firepower!"

"Orientation 241, distance 800."

"Flat, pretend to be medicine!"

"Fill!"

"Preparation ..."! "

After three or two times, the artillery was turned over. After the sight was directly aimed at the sight, the battalion chief plugged into the four groups to launch the medicine.

That is, No. 4, an installation medicine.

boom!

A fierce cannon moved backwards, and the hydraulic spring helped the device to the end, and even the artillery body jumped fiercely.

Fortunately, before the gun was fired, the people around retreated a distance and no one was injured.

This operation is extremely risky. If it is seriously damp, the strong charge will definitely explode - or lose the function of the propellant and cannot be fired.

"Hit!" The battalion commander waited for a while and found that the machine gun had stopped firing. He relaxed all of a sudden, his legs softened, and he almost sat on the ground.

...

"British!" Zhao Erfeng immediately locked the target when he saw the machine gun firepower.

"The British should not know that our target is them, otherwise they will definitely participate in the city defense, and this attack will not be so easy."

"Before taking down Sunlight City, we still have to be patient and solve the problem of the 13th Dalai Lama first."

"Fighting the British is not an easy thing. We can't let the 13th Dalai Lama get in the way."

"It's a headache. I can't kill him, and I'm on the side of the British. How can I kill him..."

Zhao Erfeng suppressed his anger while thinking about how to kill the 13th Dalai Lama.

Unlike ordinary nobles, ** Lama is the spiritual belief of the people of the plateau, and he cannot kill him directly.

Otherwise, the scope of the rebellion will spread from the nobles to the entire plateau, and his retreat will be cut off.

"Report to the commander, our army has entered the city, and the enemy is shrinking towards the Lada Palace."

During the time when Zhao Erfeng was thinking of a solution, the border guards of the plateau easily occupied the city, or in other words, the soldiers of ** Lama did not defend the city at all.

They either entered the city and hid, no longer involved in this matter, or were shrinking the Lada Palace and preparing to defend it.

Compared with Lada Palace, there are still some defensive facilities. Although old, they are much better than the undefended Sunlight City area.

"The army has begun to move, and will not change Lada Palace for the time being. Enter Sunlight City, control the entire city, and drive all the enemies who are still resisting to Lada Palace." Zhao Erfeng said without changing his face.

"Rush over? Yes!" The messenger repeated, turning around and running towards Sunlight City.

Thousands of infantrymen followed him, some heading for the city of Riguang, and some changing their route to the south, heading for the Ladabu Palace.

"Rush over? I know, hit hard! Don't be stingy with bullets, drive the people to the south of the city." General Liu shouted loudly.

Bang, bang, bang...

For a while, the whole Riguang City became lively. On the contrary, the city residents were hiding in the corners of the house, trembling. Hoping not to be affected by the war.

By the afternoon, most areas of Riguang City were occupied by the Plateau Frontier Guards. The battle was not fierce, but because they were not familiar with the terrain, it took a lot of time.

"Report to the Marshal, the report from Zhashi City has been received. Zhashi City has been occupied without any resistance." The messenger walked into the big tent and knelt on one knee.

"It is normal that there is no resistance. Those who dare to fight have retreated to the Ladabu Palace. Have you found anything in Zhashi City? About the Qing soldiers." Zhao Erfeng waved his hand, motioning him to stand up and speak.

"No news."

"Find out, I want to know where those Qing soldiers went." Zhao Erfeng took a breath.

This batch of garrison troops was selected from the Sichuan area, and they were his old subordinates.

At first, he wanted to gather this group of people, about a thousand people, with good combat effectiveness, and they had stayed in the plateau for several years, familiar with the terrain and climate, and they would be of great use.

Later, he couldn't contact them, and he just wanted to know whether they were alive or dead. If they were dead, at least he had to find a place to collect their bodies.

After all, they were his old subordinates, so if they could be sent back, they would be sent back. It is always bad to die in a foreign land. (This era is particularly particular.)

"Marshal, Captain Tang is here."

"Let him in!" Zhao Erfeng put away the sadness on his face and returned to his tough look.

"Marshal." Tang Zezu came in and knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Get up, talk while standing." Zhao Erfeng said with squinted eyes.

"Thank you, Marshal." Tang Zezu climbed up quickly.

"Have you checked it out?" Zhao Erfeng felt a little distressed when he mentioned this.

Propellant is not cheap. A random shot will cost at least a few taels of silver. I don't know how much is lost.

He was not so rich before. He had to count every shell. Now that the conditions are a little better, the people below are just wasting things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Erfeng's face was even worse.

"We think that when we were climbing the snowy mountains, the fur used for moisture-proofing was not good, and some moisture entered..." Tang Ze explained.

These are just excuses, not important, just know that moisture-proofing is needed.

"How much is it?" Zhao Erfeng asked with his eyes closed.

"About 800 rounds of propellant were damp..." Tang Ze said carefully.

"800 rounds? Half! We haven't started fighting yet! Half of the ammunition is unusable. What do you think I should do with you?!" Zhao Erfeng opened his eyes and stared at him.

Thinking that he was about to fight the British, Zhao Erfeng really looked at Tang Ze's neck.

"Marshal, this propellant is divided into two packages. We calculated that if half of the shells use No. 2 propellant, the remaining half can still use No. 3 propellant..." Tang Zezu was saying.

"Tang Zezu, I'll give you a chance. All officers below you will be dismissed and retained to make up for your mistakes."

"Thank you, Marshal!" Tang Zezu knelt on the ground.

"I haven't finished yet. It's not too late to thank you after I finish." Zhao Erfeng smiled slightly.

"In theory, the artillery made great contributions in this battle, and there are many advantages in the distribution of spoils."

"But you have committed such a big mistake, it is impossible not to punish, eight hundred, make up a thousand!"

"In addition to the price of the shells, there is also the transportation cost of one thousand shells. This money will be deducted from the spoils of the artillery regiment."

"Are you convinced?" Zhao Erfeng looked at the Tangze clan.

Are shells expensive? Expensive! A 75mm shell costs at least ten or twenty taels, and one thousand shells cost twenty thousand taels.

If it can be used to atone for the crime, it is very cheap.

But considering the freight, the shells are heavy and the transportation requirements are high, at least the freight of the same price should be calculated.

Forty thousand? Is it a lot? A lot, but not much.

After the attack on the Lada Palace, there may be some left.

"I obey! I obey! I definitely obey, thank you, Marshal!"

"In addition, the relevant personnel must be punished. I will punish the baggage train, and the punishment results of the artillery regiment will be handed over to me before the end of the war." Zhao Erfeng still softened his heart.

"Zezu will thank Marshal for not killing them on their behalf!" Tang Zezu understood immediately, and knelt on one knee with a very standard thump.

"Go away! Beat nicely, if it's too ugly, I won't recognize you." Zhao Erfeng waved his hand.
