As the saying goes: One minute is shorter and one minute is dangerous. When the guard battalion comes on horseback, all personal equipment is a rifle. For the sake of portability, the barrel of the rifle is one foot shorter than the general standard musket, and the corresponding bayonet is less than five feet after being equipped with a bayonet, which is equivalent to the length of a short gun, which is obviously at a disadvantage in combat. However, the officers and soldiers of the guard battalion are skilled, and a cavalry with a bayonet can also become a weapon for killing people with muskets.

For the officers and soldiers of the guard camp, the command to "get the bayonet" is equivalent to the order to charge, and is a sign that the battle has entered its most tragic climax. Once the two sides fought, they fought against the hostile hostile without showing any weakness. A rapid assassination overturned the enemy soldiers rushing in front. When the Yuan army relied on the crowd to try to surround them, the two armies fought again.

Without orders, the soldiers of the guard camp, two or three, form a formation nearby, cooperate and cover each other, and kill the enemy at the camera. The daily training has allowed them to develop a tacit understanding between each other, and there is no need to speak out at all. One look and a simple body movement make each other understand each other. Don’t underestimate this kind of cooperation. In the fierce and cruel hand-to-hand combat, it may only take half a second to turn around and deal with another enemy rushing behind them.

The bayonets equipped by the Song army are mostly triangular stings. This weapon cannot be chopped and can only be used. Since the natural pressure of human tissue has little impact on the entry of the stings, the design of the stings is to pursue the maximum killing effect, and its length is enough to pierce two adult men's chest. In addition, blood grooves are opened on three sides of the triangular stings, which can make the inlet and exit of the stings in the human tissue faster and smoother, so that the stabbed enemies lose their attack ability in the shortest time.

This is because after the bayonet pierces into the human body, due to pain and foreign body sensation, the human muscles will instinctively contract and tightly wrap the knife body. Coupled with the adsorption effect of blood-filled wounds on the bayonet, it will make the bayonet difficult to pull out. After the blood groove is provided, blood can flow out along the blade body, and air enters along the blood groove, reducing the adhesion of wound tissue to the bayonet, thus making the drawing of the knife smoother.

The veterans of the guard camp are all veterans who have been on the battlefield. When assassinating, they will try to avoid the chest that is most likely to be killed. This is not only because the armor will focus on protecting the chest, but because the bayonet is easily stuck in the middle of the ribs and cannot be withdrawn in time and then fight. Therefore, their approach is to aim at the abdomen with relatively weak protection. Even if the enemy cannot be killed at the moment, it will be enough to make it lose the ability to continue fighting.

In the hands of these veterans, muskets are not limited to killing enemies with bayonets, but the butt stock and gun body are also powerful tools for killing people. The butt stock inlaid with copper at the bottom is like an iron bone, and with huge inertia, even if it is hit with armor, it will break bones and tendons, and it will be severely concussed. The iron barrel almost penetrates the entire gun body, and it will be a bit of an iron rod when swung, and it will not feel good if you hit it.

At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the guards did not give up the advantage of muskets. They divided a team of sharpshooters, specializing in shooting and killing enemy officers and archers. In an attempt to disrupt the enemy's organized attacks and eliminate the "assassins" that were the most threatening to their side. Under the leadership of Tan Fei, they quickly defeated the enemy's attack with a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Not only were they not surrounded by the enemy, but they separated the enemy.

The Mongols were also confused. They had never seen such a tenacious and fierce opponent in hand-to-hand combat. In the past, they had to lose city defense or have a mess. Facing their scimitar, the Song army would instantly collapse and flee in all directions, becoming the lambs to be hunted. But today they became cattle and sheep in the slaughterhouse, beaten to no avail, and suffered heavy casualties, and buried corpses everywhere. What scared them even more was that these people were inhumane. Even seriously injured who lost the ability to resist would make up for it and take their lives.

"Kill!" Faced with the shouts of killing by the Song army in front of him, the remaining Yuan soldiers were already frightened and ran to the town regardless of everything. However, the rain of bullets shot from behind quickly knocked them to the ground, and almost no more than 300 people survived.

"Check the casualties and check the weapons!" Tan Fei raised his hand and wiped his face, wiped off the blood splashed on it, but there was no place to wipe it clean, and it became a little more ferocious. He gathered the team and said loudly.

"Reported to the commander, three of our troops were slightly injured, no serious injuries, no casualties, and consuming 500 rounds of ammunition. You can continue to participate in the battle." The team quickly completed the inspection and stood attentively and reported. Tan Fei's decisiveness and courage in the battle just now, and the coldness of these arrogant soldiers and generals had no contempt.

"The wounded are here to wait for the follow-up troops, inform the situation of the battle, and wait for the return. The rest and the commander went to rescue the brother trapped in the mountain." After Tan Fei stepped forward to check, the three injured people were injured in all limbs. Although they could continue to participate in the battle, their movements would inevitably be inconvenient. As far as he knew, even in a fierce battle, each musket fired at most twenty-five rounds of ammunition, and the ammunition they carried with them was based on this. Now only more than 500 rounds of bullets were consumed, and the remaining bullets could support the subsequent battle without replenishment. So he decided not to wait for the follow-up troops, but to immediately enter the rescue operation before the enemy reinforcements arrived...

"Oh, they are really a group of madmen, and they didn't even have a single living!" After Li Hongbin, the commander of the Second Division, led his troops to land, he followed the guard camp who was fighting the vanguard, but found that there were only corpses everywhere he passed by. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. At the moment, the emperor was sitting on the riverside, and the commander came forward to command. He, the commander, could only act as a front pawn and command in front of the formation.

"The commander-in-chief, the guard camp only used the troops of the capital to defeat the current enemy. If we all went into battle, we might not need us!" Fang Lin, the commander of the first regiment of the Second Division, said a little discouraged.

"The Guards are His Majesty's personal army, and they are all elite soldiers selected by the entire army. It is said that they all have the ability to serve one hundred. It is a blessing for you to see them today." Li Hongbin said.

"Oh, I really feel ashamed when I see you today!" Fang Lin said in a little disappointed manner.

"Of course, I remember that the Sa family was also in the army of His Majesty's personal guard camp. In less than a year, they were transferred with the expansion. Otherwise...ah!" I wondered whether Li Hongbin sighed whether he was lucky or disappointed to transfer his personal guard camp.

"Report to the commander, this is the guard who left us to the guard camp to support us!" Just as the two of them were feeling, the vanguard who explored the way brought back three people and replied.

"President Li, our commander ordered us to inform us that the enemy in front of us had been annihilated. He led his troops to Guabu Mountain to rescue the trapped people, and ordered the Hu-Lei to wait for contact!" One of the three left-behind wounded soldiers stood attentively and saluted and reported.

"Okay, everyone is injured. Please turn back and rest. I will leave it to us here!" Li Hongbin nodded after returning the gift.

"I thank the Dutong for his good intentions, so I am waiting here for the brothers to return together!" But the three of them thanked him and refused to go first.

"Since that's the case, let the Chinese medicine doctors in the army first treat it!" Li Hongbin could only sigh when he saw this. It was obviously a strict law of protecting each other when retreating. If the brothers do not return, they will never walk alone.

Li Hongbin learned that the guard camp had already come forward to rescue people, and he did not dare to neglect. He immediately followed the officers of the same regiment to observe the terrain and arrange emergency combat plans to prevent the enemy from reinforcement in the town, and sent a response force to Guabushan. After the arrangement was completed, he had just returned to the temporary command post and heard a report from the guard post in front: the Mongolian army cavalry was found in the northeast direction, and was heading towards the ferry.

Li Hongbin immediately picked up his telescope and climbed up a high slope to look at the enemy. He saw about 500 enemy cavalry galloping towards their place. Based on his understanding of the enemy in front, the two hundred cavalry with distinctive armor in front should be the personal guards stationed in Qianhu, Guabu Town. They were the elite of the army and the most powerful combat power. The one behind was a cavalry team composed of a group of young men, which should be reserve troops. Behind were a group of infantry troops with different costumes and weapons. He felt that this was the mobilization of the residents of Qianhu's subordinates.

After a brief discussion, Li Hongbin ordered the first battalion to enter the simple fortifications just built and prepare for combat. The first capital was the head of the north, the second capital was responsible for the south, and the third capital was the reserve team. The battalion headquarters and the mortar team directly under the mortar team provided fire support behind to ambush the enemy. At this time, although the Yuan army was only one mile away from the ambush point, it was impossible to notice that the two small hills ahead were actually the ambush positions of the Song army.

After the leading enemy cavalry bypassed a forest, they did not send a scout team to reconnaissance, but still came straight along the road. The Song army defending the site did not start shooting rashly, but boldly and calmly placed the enemy closer until the Yuan army cavalry advanced to our position only thirty steps before they opened fire according to the fire order of Dutou. In an instant, hundreds of rifles and several hundred guns of the two capitals opened fire violently at the Yuan army's pilot cavalry and the subsequent personal guards.

The unprepared Yuan army was immediately beaten to such a strong firepower raid and was immediately beaten up and messy. In a very short time, the enemy vanguard team approaching the position was almost completely eliminated. At the beginning of the battle, Baihu, the personal soldiers were fatally injured by the shooting in the head, and most of the accompanying vanguard teams were also killed. However, the personal soldiers behind them reacted quickly. Seeing that they were ambushed in the front, they immediately divided into two routes to reinforce. One squadron attacked south, and the other rushed directly to the position on the north side of the road.

After rigorous military training, these personal soldiers, weapons, armor and equipment were relatively well-equipped and strong in combat. During their attack, they launched multiple assaults with scattered soldiers, with support from cavalry archers, and the assault speed was very fast. However, as soon as they approached the Song army's position, they were bombarded by the "grenade barrage" and all of them were destroyed. The remaining Yuan army was still obsessed with it. Although they were constantly attacked by firearms, they were still reorganized. They repeatedly attacked the Song army's position regardless of casualties, attempting to open the path. Even the young soldiers dismounted and provided support with bows and arrows.

The unintentional battle lasted for about half an hour. The enemy's personal troops' attacks were defeated before the Song army's positions, and the personnel suffered heavy losses. After five consecutive charges, more than half of the casualties were still. If the enemy Qianhu had not stopped the attack at this time, these enemy soldiers might have been defeated. However, the repeated charges of this guard were not without any results. At least they also snatched back Qianhu and were seriously injured and served as the son of Baihu's personal soldiers, but the entire army was almost destroyed.

Qianhu Habichi, who was stationed in Guabu Town, realized that the Song army, who captured the Ferkou Camp and dared to ambush his large group of troops, was definitely not the teams that had crossed the river and attacked him, but the main force of the Song army had already crossed the river. He immediately lit a beacon to Qianhu Instruments in Changlu Town and Duge Wanhu Mansion in Liuhe, nearby, and asked for reinforcements, and sent people to report to Duwanhu Mansion.

Habichi's son was seriously injured and died just a moment after being rescued. He was also red in his eyes. He sent a messenger for help, and also concentrated all the forces that the headquarters could mobilize to launch an attack, hoping to use this to delay the Song army and prevent it from further developing in depth. Changlu Town is only more than thirty miles away from Guabu Town and Liuhe Town, and it has already entered a state of combat readiness. For a time, when the battle was fierce, several Mongolian Yuan troops around rushed from all over the place to Guabu Town.

At 10:00 noon, the guard camp had defeated the enemy troops besieging Guabu Mountain, rescued the trapped assault team, and retreated to the ferry while fighting. The scouts sent also reported that there were a large number of enemy troops in the northwest and south of the ferry. Li Hongbin realized that the enemy would arrive quickly with the lateral post roads, so that the situation of the Song army crossing the river would become quite dangerous, and the possibility of being trapped in Jiangbei by the Yuan army.

This was originally planned to severely damage the Habichi Qianhu House of Guabu Town. After rescuing the trapped team, he separated from the enemy and retreated to Jiangbei. However, he did not expect that the reinforcements of the enemy would come so quickly. Li Hongbin had to adjust his deployment immediately and ordered the third battalion to set up defenses in the direction of Changlu Town to block the enemy. At the same time, he was transferred to the 1st battalion of the Second Regiment, which was on standby on Qingzhou Island, to set up a second line of defense. After receiving the guard camp, he immediately retreated to the second line of defense and retreated on standby.

Li Hongbin asked the first regiment to prevent the enemy from detouring in front of him, cut off their retreat, use the advantage of firepower to block the enemy, and win time for the retreat of the guard battalion. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the second-line fortifications, otherwise the current force will not be able to block the impact of the enemy cavalry with the current force. He quickly informed the current plan of the commander Chen Fenglin, who is in charge of Qingzhou Island, to repay His Majesty's decision.
