Zhuge Kuntian didn't know why Chen Baxian could make arrangements so far in advance to fight against the Russians on his own. He thought for a long time before saying weakly: "Maybe Chen Baxian is a typical patriotic young man. No matter whether he can change the tragedy or not, he
Everyone wants to work hard to change!"
Xuanyuan Jian's face was uncertain. After a long time, he sighed and said: "No matter whether Chen Baxian is a patriotic young man or not, if he leads the war against the Russians, he will stand on the moral high ground. Let him accept the mission in Heihe Mansion
People should try their best to cooperate with him! If it can change the tragedy, it will be a good thing."
Xuanyuan Jian was struggling in his heart. He also longed to participate in changing the tragedy of Hailanpao and Jiangdong No. 64 Tun. However, due to his bad relationship with Chen Baxian, he probably only added chaos. Chen Baxian occupied the moral high ground. According to his
Xuanyuan Jian has a vengeful character, and going to Heihe Mansion is likely to be counterproductive.
Sanshengshi was also speechless for a long time after learning Chen Hao's purpose. He did not have the ambition of Xuanyuan Sword to send his subordinates to cooperate with Chen Hao, and even secretly hoped that Chen Hao's failure in the mission would become a joke.
A large number of players who failed to receive the task of resisting the coalition forces in northern Hebei, after learning that there was a task opportunity in Heihe Mansion, left the country and headed for Heihe. China has a vast territory, and players are scattered all over the country, and the game's explosion rate is not high, and
Not all players are qualified to travel around and do quests. Even so, the number of players who have arrived in Heihe Mansion exceeds one million, and there is still a steady stream of players heading north.
After the great powers imposed an arms embargo, the guns in the hands of many players became fire sticks because the price of bullets was too high. Even if they ran out of bullets, players still didn’t want to miss this battle. Every Chinese wanted this heinous tragedy.
Change.
There are 16 battalions of Qing infantry and cavalry stationed in Aihui City, commanded by Fengxiang, the deputy commander of Aihui. This unit guards the 75-kilometer river defense from Fulaljitun in the south to Wudao Holoka in the north. Heavy firepower
There are 8 steel cannons, 16 old cannons, and more than 10 small boats in the naval camp.
When Chen Hao arrived at Aihui, more than 9,000 horse bandits had already assembled. Since there were troops stationed in Aihui City, the horse bandits did not dare to approach the city. He led his direct subordinates into the city to meet with his immediate superior, the Deputy Governor of Aihui.
Fengxiang also received a thousand patrol battalion officers and soldiers.
Chen Hao arrived at the Aihui garrison camp. After taking out his letter of appointment, soldiers soon took him to the camp of Yizhang on the North Road of the Qing Army in Heihe and Fengxiang, the deputy commander of Aihui. For this man who historically led the garrison in the Battle of Aihui
Chen Hao admired the Dutong who fought bravely against the enemy, commanded the battle despite being wounded and died for his country, so he respectfully saluted and said: "The last general Aihui was commissioned to Qianhu. Chen Ba first met Lord Dutong."
Fengxiang was tall and had an angular face, which gave people an air of calmness and authority. He said loudly: "Mr. Chen Ba, I have received the official document a long time ago. It only takes ten days at most to get from Northern Hebei to Aihui. Why are you waiting now?"
Come report."
Chen Hao said loudly, "Your Majesty, Dutong, Baxian heard that the Russians wanted to go south, and he was so anxious every day that he simply donated his family wealth to recruit brave men along the way to help you fight against the enemy, so he wasted time."
"Oh?" Feng Xiang said with a surprised look on his face: "How many brave men have you recruited?"
Chen Hao quickly said: "Recruit 9248 brave men, all of whom are cavalry. They are now stationed outside Aihui City."
"Let's go and have a look." Feng Xiang got up and walked out of the city with his soldiers. When he came outside the city, he saw a group of men on horseback with ferocious faces. Feng Xiang was silent for a long time. He pulled Chen Hao to the side and whispered.
: "Chen Qianhu, aren't these big men you recruited kind?"
Chen Hao nodded and said: "Many of them are Fengtian horse bandits, and they serve the country regardless of whether they are high or low. At this time of national crisis, I hope you will give them a chance to serve the country."
Feng Xiang sighed and said, "Recruiting people privately without the permission of the imperial court is a serious crime. Didn't Chen Qianhu think of this?"
Chen Hao said with emotion: "I thought of it, but the Russians are going south soon. Good people are no match for the Russians, but these ruthless bandits can be used. The lower officials are good at recruiting brave men and are willing to accept any punishment. I hope
The general has allowed me to fight against the enemy before judging my guilt."
Feng Xiang praised, "Chen Qianhu is truly a loyal minister. He is willing to donate his family's assets to fight against the enemy, and he is even more willing to take great risks. It's okay! These people will be classified under the name of your patrol camp. I will just turn a blind eye."
If the court pursues you, I will try my best to explain it to you."
Chen Hao recruited troops along the way, betting that Feng Xiang, who had fought bravely against the enemy in history, would not punish himself for recruiting horse bandits secretly. After hearing Feng Xiang's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. He cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your patience, sir. If the court asks the guilty tyrant,
You must take the responsibility yourself first and never implicate the adults."
Fengxiang did not hold a banquet to greet Chen Hao. He arranged for someone to take Chen Hao to the patrol camp under his jurisdiction and then left. Chen Hao soon arrived at the patrol camp in the north of Aihui City. Aihui was located on the border, and Fengxiang was there.
For a boss like that, the predecessor Qianhu did not dare to blatantly take advantage of his salary like some military attachés in the mainland, and a thousand patrol battalions were fully staffed.
Chen Hao made an inspection tour. Each of these patrol battalion officers and soldiers were tall and majestic, and they were all elite soldiers. His official position was Aihui City Outer Committee Qianhu, and these Qiang patrol battalions were his direct subordinate soldiers. If Aihui City fell, he would
You can take these soldiers away during the chaos.
Chen Hao has jurisdiction over the patrol battalion, so he can adjust the official positions of the patrol battalion. If the Aihun patrol battalion cannot be used, he will appoint his players to the patrol battalion. After seeing that the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion are quite elite, he took office in order to ensure that
The combat effectiveness of the troops is not good enough to carry out a major replacement, so we can only wait for the war to start before looking for opportunities.
Chen Hao's headquarters is full of 1,000 people, including four foreign commanders. The 1,000 soldiers are all equipped with Mauser 1888 Commission rifles. To Chen Hao's surprise, the patrol battalion actually has two cannons, one of which is from the Jilin Machinery Bureau.
The 6-pounder gun was manufactured, and the other was a Krupp gun.
Chen Hao was accompanied by a general to the cannon. He saw many historical materials saying that the Qing patrol camp was extremely decayed and many cannons could not fire. He did not want the only two cannons to become scrap metal. He ordered his men
The gunner opened all the ammunition boxes to test the cannon. A tall and burly young man said loudly: "Mr. Qian, we don't have many artillery shells, so we can't waste them like this."
Chen Hao thought there was something fishy and said calmly, "This cannon hasn't been used for a long time. What if it doesn't work in battle if you don't try it?"
The young man's face turned red and he said loudly, "Sir, we brothers take good care of these two treasures every day, how could it not work?"
Chen Hao said with a look of disbelief: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it, and I wouldn't have dared to rely on these two cannons in battle."
The burly young man called several gunners over angrily, opened the ammunition box, cleaned the shells and arranged them, and carefully loaded a shell into the Krupp cannon. Chen Hao ordered him to aim at the river in the distance and shoot, and only heard the roar of the gunners.
There was a loud noise, and the shell fell into the water and splashed a water column several meters high.
Chen Hao is very satisfied with the power of artillery shells. Cannons are a good thing. In the early stage of the game, if a player has a heavy machine gun, it is a big killer. If there are two more artillery pieces, the combat effectiveness of the army can be greatly improved.
Among the conventional arms, artillery has the highest technical content. It takes a long time for players to become a qualified gunner, and it also requires opportunities. There are six gunners in the patrol battalion, which is an unexpected surprise for Chen Hao. He made up his mind to
Take these gunners under your command.
Although the patrol battalion is now under his command, they receive a salary from the imperial court. If he adjusts his official position, these soldiers will not be under his command. If these artillerymen are successfully hired and the emperor's special skills are available, as long as these artillerymen are not killed in battle,
They are his loyal subordinates.
Chen Hao was poaching the court. After the burly young man tested the cannon, he said with a warm smile: "Very good! I am very satisfied with your performance. What is your name?"
"For Qianhu, my name is Guan Lianhai."
"Guanlianhai?"
Chen Hao repeated the name, and became more determined to take him under his command, because Guan Lianhai was a hero who resisted the Russians. If he could not take him under his command, he would die in the Battle of Karen Mountain in August.
.
On August 20, 1900, Hailanpao's Russian army first crossed the Heilongjiang River, occupied the Heihe River, and rushed down the river to the Karen Mountain. The Karen Mountain faces the river to the east and is a barrier to Aihun. The mountain is densely covered with pine forests and the terrain is dangerous.
It can monitor the river from a high position; to the north, it can also control the road from Heihe to Aihui. Its geographical location is very important.
Although there were less than 500 defenders on the mountain, they were all natives of Aihui and Jiangdong No. 64. Seeing their relatives killed and their homes burned, they were already filled with rage and determined to fight to the death with the enemy.
On the road leading from Heihe to Aihun City, the Russian army, under the command of the two tsarist generals Subodich and Alexandrov, ran wildly and pounced like wild beasts out of their cages. The dust raised by the horse teams and artillery carts covered the sky.
On the day of dawn, the enemy was very arrogant.
Before the Russian army arrived at Karen Mountain, they were first bombarded by artillery fire and then charged by cavalry. The Qing soldiers guarding the forward position suffered heavy casualties. After hand-to-hand combat, the forward position was lost. There were only more than 30 Qing soldiers on the main position of Karen Mountain. They used
During the precious time before engaging the enemy, do your best to prepare for war.
On the main position, there are three 6-pound fast guns made by Jilin Manufacturing Bureau, one Krupp gun, and two ancient "Shenwei Invincible General" guns. The gunners opened all the ammunition boxes, wiped the shells and laid them out.
, several shirtless Qing soldiers carried dozens of boxes of gunpowder to a bunker slightly away from the gun mount.
At this time, a burly young man ran over from the gun position, connected the powder boxes with a fuse, took out a short knife and cut one end of the fuse short. This young man was the fast gunner who insisted on staying at Karen Mountain.
Guan Lianhai, a resident of Nianjianfang Village, No. 64, Jiangdong. When the sentry commander asked him why he cut the fuse short, Guan Lianhai replied: "In case the artillery fails, these gunpowder will also be useful."
In the end, when the enemy rushed into the position and only the seriously injured Guan Lianhai was left, he detonated all the artillery shells, and more than a dozen Russian soldiers were killed in his death.
