268 Fierce Battle in the Hills
Pierre's bad luck has not stopped since he had an affair with the general's daughter seven years ago, and the War Department hid him for seven years, giving him only trivial cases for him to investigate, and even seconding him to the local police station for three full years.
Sharif was a good friend of Pierre's and had always wanted to find an opportunity to help him, but under pressure from the general, he could only secretly exert some influence. Until this year, when the major general was discharged from the army, Sharif was ready to give Lapierre a hand, hoping that he would return to the Army's intelligence service.
But he never expected that Pierre's bad luck was too strong, and the first case he took over was so strict that it actually involved a diplomatic conflict with Yan Zhan.
Pierre rushed up and dragged the Ranger who reported the news, grabbed the whip, turned over and rushed straight to the south, "God forbid, don't have a clash, don't exchange fire, don't die......"
At this time, Sharif also went crazy, and he rode his war horse to chase after him, and gave orders to the heralds around him as he ran.
"You go down the vineyard and rush along the diagonal line, and you must stop the pursuers, and do not hurt the guests from the East......
"Damn, if a Chinese politician dies in our hands, the government will definitely be besieged and accused by all hostile countries, and then we will be scapegoats, and we will even go to the guillotine......"
The makeshift resting place was only two or three kilometers away from the first outpost, and it was only a matter of moments before the horses galloped away, and at the very moment when Pierre opened his mouth and shouted, a burst of gunfire came from the east, startling a flock of birds and breaking his heart.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over...... Why am I so unlucky?" Pierre almost cried as he hid his face. But at that moment there was a loud burst of gunfire in the distance, and his ears stood up.
"What is this sound? Why is this sound so crisp and dense? I am familiar with European muskets, have I never heard of such gunshots?" Pierre was stunned when he heard the dense gunfire of fried beans in the distance.
At this time, Sharif also caught up, "That's Spencer... It's the famous American gun, you've been away from the Army for too long, you've been away from the intelligence agencies for too long, and it seems like you haven't been exposed to much ...... from the intelligence of the American Civil War."
"There is salvation, there is salvation, these Chinese are fighting back, indicating that eighty percent of the big guys are still alive......"
Two senior intelligence officers rode into the grape fields and led their men straight to the place where the gunfire was raging.
To the northeast of Burgundy is a large hilly area, which is supposed to be the remnant of the Alps, and the terrain becomes more complex the further east you go.
By this time, the Rangers' speed advantage was gone, and the small vineyards were interspersed with countless boulders, and even the fields were scattered with rubble.
When the horses arrived in this environment, they could not run at all, and more than a dozen rangers could only turn over and dismount to chase those stowaways on foot.
"Stop...... If you don't stand still, you're going to shoot...... Oh, maybe they don't know French, I'll change to English and shout again...... Stand ......."
"It's useless to change English, they are Chinese, you have to shout Chinese..."
"Fart, do you know Chinese? Is that kind of language like a book from heaven that people can learn?"
"You two shut up, all of you take your guns...... Ready to shoot..."More than a dozen front-loading rifled guns were raised, and the trigger was pulled at the figure running and jumping in the distance.
Bang Bang Bang ...... A flash of gunfire pierced the morning fog, and the bullets rushed towards Xiao Letian and them.
"Be careful...... Your Excellency" The New Army guards and Prussian intelligence officers pounced like crazy, crushing Xiao Lotian and his women to the ground.
The bullets slammed into the rocks, and one of the Prussian intelligence officers fell to Ping'er's lap with a bullet in his heart, and the blood in his mouth stained Ping'er's cloak red.
"Ahh
"Don't scream, calm down......" Xiao Letian gagged her mouth and hugged her and Hu Niu and Fang Guan tightly in his arms, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm protecting you......"
When the gunfire in the back stopped, Long Ye turned over and jumped up from the ground with a harrier, and Spencer behind him turned to his hand, aimed at the rangers and began to shoot.
"Counter Strike...... Since he can't hide it anymore, let's do it with them, and the French big nose is nothing remarkable...... "Long Ye is not only a master of the green forest now, since he experienced the battle of Naha, his interest in muskets has become more and more growing.
In countless days off when he was not on duty, Long Ye almost devoted his time to musket shooting, plus he already had a good foundation in hidden weapons, and in less than a year, Long Ye's marksmanship had already made Matthew and them dumbfounded.
When Spencer started shooting, people understood what the generation gap between weapons was. The mainstream muskets of the French are front-loading rifled guns, which are just a little more advanced than smoothbore guns.
This kind of musket fire suppression is not the opponent of Spencer in a seven-shot row at all, not to mention that the current Wing King has also adapted to the combat method of the Western-style new army, and he actually took five guards to cover the crossfire of the 331 team and fought a counter-charge.
"Master Long will leave Mr. Protection, and the rest of the people will attack with me in three or three......" After saying that, the Wing King rushed out with two guards. Behind them, the other three guards were desperately slanting their fire, and Spencer's bullets weighed down the Rangers.
"Hidden, hidden for all...... What kind of ghost weapon did this group of Chinese use, and why was the firepower so fierce? Could it be the Spencer of the United States?"
"No, no, no, Chinese could not have such a powerful weapon, it must have been supplied to them by the Prussians...... Cover, find rock cover......"
The three-three shock is the most familiar assault tactic practiced by the new army, and the firepower covering side only makes three salvos and starts to charge, while the covered comrades-in-arms immediately stop advancing and provide fire suppression for the follow-up comrades.
In this way, the two groups advance crosswise, and while always suppressing the enemy's firepower, they can also quickly approach the enemy, and when they are close, they can give full play to the powerful melee combat effectiveness of the new army.
The French Rangers didn't expect that the big fish caught in the net was actually a shark, and they dared to charge back. They had no time to reload their ammunition, forcing all the rangers to draw their pistols and sabers and prepare to fight these Chinese in close combat.
The arrogance of the French finally paid a bloody price, and as two groups of Chinese soldiers approached them, they were waiting for them not hand-to-hand combat, but three black grenades.
Now the weapons and equipment of Xiao Letian's new army have been upgraded several times, and the grenades made of bamboo tubes in the past have been replaced by thin cast iron melon grenades. Even the ignition device has been changed to a flint triggering device, and there is no need to light it with a fire breaker anymore.
Three grenades tumbled through the air and landed into the enemy formation. Boom Boom Boom ...... After three violent explosions, six of the more than a dozen Rangers were killed, and the rest were wounded.
"Super Knife...... Pick them to death......" The Wing King took the lead and pounced, but at this time, Xiao Letian yelled in the rear, "Don't kill them, we didn't come to Europe to create contradictions, remember our mission......"
At the last moment, Xiao Lotian stopped the slaughter, and the Wing King and his subordinates looked at these dazed French rangers viciously, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"Phew... I really thought that with three heads and six arms, I would have died if I was shot..."
Speaking of this, the Winged King rushed up and shone on the back of the heads of those undead soldiers, knocking them unconscious with one punch at a time. But just then, more outflanked French soldiers rushed out of the vineyards.
In French, there was the sound of scattered musket shots, and in an era when smokeless gunpowder was not yet widespread, each firing revealed the location of a soldier, and a fog rose in the grape fields.
"Retreat, we can't get entangled anymore, these soldiers are attacking in a skirmish line, the firepower is too scattered, we are not opponents......"
Under Paul's command, the smugglers fought and retreated, relying on the rocks of the hilly terrain to shoot at the enemy, and under the cover of crossfire, they quickly retreated to the east.
Xiao Letian supported Ping'er, Hu Niu supported Fangguan, the whole family ran out of breath, and from time to time let the stones fall down, Xiao Letian's head hit out of the big bag.
"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to take you on your honeymoon, but I ended up being turned into a lost dog...... Ahem, when we get out of France, I'll definitely make up for the perfect trip for you......"
Ping'er didn't have time to listen to the old man's bragging now, she said with a crying voice, "What the hell is this place, there are foreign devils everywhere who want to eat people, I don't do it, I want to go home......"
"Don't cry..."Hu Niu took out the majesty of the big house at this time, and Ping'er, who was frightened by a word, held back her tears.
"Why didn't you cry when you were clamoring to come out with you? Now that you know you're scared, what did you do earlier? So many people are running for our lives, don't make a mess if you can't help......"
Hu Niu's scolding made Xiao Letian speechless, he could only smile apologetically Chong Ping'er secretly, and then helped her to move on.
After an encounter with the Rangers, and a chase with the Army soldiers, time passed quickly, and when the sun was hanging overhead and the time was pointing to twelve o'clock at noon, Pierre finally arrived with reinforcements.
"Stop shooting... Everyone stops shooting...... Chinese on the other side, please don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions, we will definitely not hurt your ......"
Paul's mouth was crooked when he heard this, three Prussian intelligence officers were killed and two Chinese guards were injured in an encounter just now.
Paul raised his pistol and fired three shots in the direction of Pierre's shouting, "Get out, you damn French..."
