When the Five Hundred Imperial Court Patrol Battalion just heard the news, everyone, including Yang Xingguo, was shocked by the news.

However, when Yang Xingguo heard Zhou Zhongju and spies' introduction to the Five Hundred Patrol Battalion, his nervousness just now suddenly relaxed.

Because, in Yang Xingguo's view, except for the fifty guards who had just equipped the Mosinnagan rifle, others were not even as good as beggars...

There are all kinds of singles, muskets, and bird guns... and there are also some, and almost half of the soldiers in the patrol battalions holding cold weapons such as big swords and spears.

As for training, let alone...

Because the military pay is too low and the food is too poor, the patrol battalion with 500 people can be said to be scattered in military discipline, and there has not been a real training for almost half a year.

Such an army with poor equipment and poor combat effectiveness came to encircle and suppress itself... In Yang Xingguo's view, even if they had 500 people, it was not much different from dying.

However, Wang Hu and Zhou Zhongju were not that optimistic. In their opinion, a patrol battalion of 500 people was fighting for the death of Yangjiazhai, which had only more than 100 people. Therefore, from the beginning of hearing this news, the two people's frowns never stretched.

After seeing these, Yang Xingguo had to speak up and encourage him: "Don't worry... The 500 patrol battalion seems to be a lot of people, but in fact they are all vulnerable and even less than bandits... We are not even afraid of the elite Russians, let alone these people..."

"I promise here that I will definitely not be able to get close to our copycat..."

"You two left behind in the copycat to train new recruits, I will take the sharpshooter squad to meet the enemy..."

"Not too much, in five days, the patrol battalion will automatically withdraw, and they will also leave behind the fifty Mosinnagan rifles that they just equipped, so that all the brothers in the village will be equipped with quick guns..."

Yang Xingguo's confidence once again infected the two of them. As soon as they finished speaking, their frowns stretched out.

Not only that, Wang Hu in front of him even kept asking for battle, hoping to join Yang Xingguo in the patrol battalion and defeat the patrol battalion...

As a small county town outside the pass with a population of less than 50,000, Anshan was not qualified to deploy a patrol battalion.

However, because there is iron ore in Anshan, iron production... Although most of the mines are controlled by the Russians, a small number of mines are still controlled by the imperial court and provide iron ore to the imperial court.

In order to ensure the safety of these iron ores, the imperial court set up a patrol battalion here and arranged a sixth-grade pilot to lead a patrol battalion of 500 people.

Because there are many bandits in Anshan, the court also specially equipped a horse team for the patrol battalion.

Therefore, although the equipment of this Anshan patrol battalion is not very good, its personnel are incomparable to other patrol battalions.

The entire Anshan patrol battalion includes one cavalry team, divided into three front, middle and back three posts, one hundred and fifty cavalry, and one infantry team, and also divided into three posts, the front, middle and back three posts, a total of three hundred people. Finally, there is a fifty-man personal guard, with a total of five hundred people.

The patrol battalion manager Luo Wenshan, a sixth-rank military officer in the court...

At this moment, Luo Wenshan, wearing an official uniform, was riding a war horse, escorting his personal guards and cavalry teams, and rushed towards Songshu Ridge.

As for the infantry team of 300 people, there are two front and middle posts in front and back posts in the back, and the guards are in front and back of the cavalry team.

At this moment, it was almost two hours before Luo Wenshan left the city. According to the scheduled plan, they will walk at least twenty miles of mountain road in the next two hours. Then, camp at the foot of the main peak of Songshuling.

Because the purpose of the patrol battalion's attack this time was not to take down Songshuling, Luo Wenshan, who was very good at preserving his strength, did not intend to do his best from the beginning.

In his mind, after he set up camp at the foot of the main peak of Songshu Ridge, he only needed to send out a sentry every day to launch a tentative attack on the top of the main peak, and just put some pressure on Yangjiazhai on the top of the mountain.

However, what Luo Wenshan did not expect was that just a marching would be so difficult.

After leaving Anshan County for an hour, Luo Wenshan and his group left the official road and entered the mountain road.

I originally thought that no matter what, riding a war horse would be better than walking and would be much easier.

However, when Luo Wenshan really arrived at the mountain road, he realized that riding a horse on the mountain road is more difficult than marching handsomely on the mountain road.

After an hour of hardship and hardship, in order to make his butt feel more comfortable, Luo Wenshan had to put down his official airs, give up his war horse, and marched on foot like an ordinary soldier.

Although the northeast is still very cold now, as the 500 patrol battalion pilot, Luo Wenshan is still wearing a very warm robe. However, after an hour of hiking, the sweat beads of beans kept flowing out of Luo Wenshan's forehead.

After stopping by the mountain road and breathing a long sigh, Luo Wenshan, who had a pale face because of his long-term pampering habits, asked directly to the captain of the guards beside him: "Captain Wang Shou, how long will it take to reach the main peak of Songshu Ridge..."

"Two hours..." The captain of the personal guard replied without thinking.

The long mountain road made Luo Wenshan have the idea of ​​retreating directly, but when Luo Wenshan saw the Yishui Mosinnagan rifle that the personal guards could not buy, Luo Wen gave up this idea directly.

Because, the temptation of fifty Mosinnagan rifles on him was too great, even if they were synthesized into silver, there were about 3,000 taels.

With my current status, no matter how much I embezzled and earned a job, it would take almost two years to earn so much money...

After sighing with a helpless sigh, Luo Wenshan had to order the troops to continue to advance towards Songshuling.

At this moment, the sharpshooter squad led by Yang Xingguo, including himself, had a total of fourteen people. Just like a hunter, he was quietly lurking in the dense forest less than fifty meters beside the mountain road.

The five hundred soldiers of the imperial court patrol battalion were passing through them one by one along the mountain road.

As the only personal guards equipped with Mosin Nagan rifles slowly entered Yang Xingguo's vision, Yang Xingguo's eyes, whose dull eyes just now became hot immediately.
