War is always brutal, no matter how well-equipped, how correct the tactics, and how advantageous the terrain is on the dominant side, as long as the two sides enter the stage of hand-to-hand combat, casualties are inevitable.

A cavalry battalion of more than 400 French troops had already lost more than 150 men in a short 20-minute battle, and more than one-third of the battle loss rate was in the current European military regulations.

But the battalion commander, a veteran of the Crimean War, chose not to retreat, and he only encouraged his soldiers with one sentence: "This is the land of France, this is our motherland, if we all retire here, how will we face our children and grandchildren in the future......"

With this sentence, all the French troops present were completely berserk, and they ignored the cold sword jungle and drove the war horses to charge forward like crazy.

One cavalry after another was hacked to death in front of the Taidao Formation, along with his horses, and this place had become a hell of killing. On both sides of the Taidao Formation, one side is led by the Wing King, and on the other hand, Luo Huo is leading the team, and he is using the short knife and bayonet in his hand to control the battlefield and protect the two wings of the Taidao Formation.

These New Army soldiers still underestimated the tenacity of the French, and a third of their attrition could not contain their offensive, and the snowy jungle of Taidao could not stop their charge. In the end, some brave cavalrymen even jumped high and smashed their bodies into the middle of the army with their own weapons.

There was a second one who broke through the formation, and when the cavalry that rushed into the formation became more and more, the tight formation of the infantry could no longer be maintained, and Hyotaro yelled "Disperse, fight freely, hand-to-hand combat...... and as he spoke, the sword in his hand waved like the wind, and a huge horse's head was cut off.

The cavalry and infantry are entangled, just like a street gangster battle, and what is fighting without discipline is the sharp spirit in the heart.

The cavalry battalion commander held the reins in one hand, and slashed at the new army under him with a desperate saber in his right hand, and the war horse under his crotch spat at the mouth angrily, and rushed forward with his shoulder and neck against the gap in the crowd.

"Damn the Chinese, die... All of them are going to die......"

"Damn the French big nose, if you want to play hand-to-hand combat with Lao Tzu, you are not ......qualified enough" Although Luo Huo's kung fu is not as good as Long Ye, he has also practiced Dahong boxing for more than ten years since he was a child, and I saw the bayonet in his hand holding the oncoming saber, and an elbow blow to his right arm hit the neck of the war horse, and the strong Arabian horse fell to the ground with a bang.

The battle has been completely transformed into the medieval era of human society, cold iron tools pierce the enemy's body, fists, stones, and even teeth and nails have become people's weapons of battle, everyone's eyes are scarlet, red blood seeps into the earth, and is trampled into red mud by a pair of military boots.

The French fought because this is their homeland, this is their homeland.

The Chinese fought because they wanted to save their comrades, and they wanted to avenge the fire six years ago.

There is only one voice in everyone's hearts: "Fight to the death...... The whole army will fight to the death and will not retreat......" The tragic atmosphere infected everyone present, Xiao Letian, who was standing on the side of Switzerland, and their hearts rose to their throats, Ping'er was already frightened, and Hu Niu and Fang Guan didn't dare to look at it, they hid back in the carriage, just a low cry.

Xiao Letian's hands were trembling, and every time a familiar figure fell in the telescope, his heart would tremble, and he could feel his head tingling and numb, which was a symptom of extremely high blood pressure.

"Hurry up, Xiao Hexin, can you hurry up...... Can't die anymore, Lao Tzu doesn't have many talents, one less one dies and one ......"

Just when Xiao Letian was silently praying in his heart, on the main road due west, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were already running and were about to stick out their tongues.

From Besançon to Switzerland, the elevation is constantly rising, and the entire march is a steep climb. Forced to march sixty kilometers in one night, and still keep climbing high, I am afraid that the iron man will be tired and paralyzed when he runs down.

Xiao Hexin felt that his legs were like being filled with lead, his throat was hot and painful, every breath seemed to be a knife cutting his trachea, he wanted to swallow and spit but found that his mouth was dry, and his throat and eyes were stuck together and could not be separated.

This feeling of his throats sticking together is too uncomfortable, Xiao Hexin really doesn't want to speak now, but he is an officer, and his biggest responsibility is to boost the morale of his brothers.

"Go ahead...... Keep moving...... Don't stop trotting... It's not that far, it's really not far, and we'll be safe after crossing the border......"

"I know you're tired and thirsty, but now we can't rest...... If we want to get out of danger, we have to fight again..."

Xiao Hexin looked at the stumbling comrades running beside him, and carried the Spencer on his shoulder on his back without saying a word.

"Sir...... I can do it..."

"What are you doing? You let a stray bullet bite me on your thigh, and I didn't see it...... Less nonsense, two more steps......"

Not only Xiao Hexin, but now Sima Yun and squad leaders and platoon leaders at all levels are encouraging their comrades-in-arms, and once they find that they are not supported, they will immediately take over their burdens.

Xiao Letian has said countless times that there is absolutely no official master in his new army, and you have to shout 'follow me' to practice and train, like the current situation, those who become officers have to endure hardships in the front.

This is the rule, this is the rule set by Xiao Letian, this is not forced by identity, this is brought out by Xiao Letian himself at the beginning of the founding of the new army.

Thinking about the bloody battle of Naha, Xiao Letian did not run one step less, and always took the lead when he charged. What kind of leader there is, what kind of army there will be, this is the soul of the army, this is the inheritance.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the windows of countless French houses on both sides of the road showed frightened faces. They stared at the earth dragon on the road in amazement, and kept guessing the identities of these people in their hearts. But no one dared to go out of the house, and some even sneaked through the back window and hid in the fields.

"Accelerate, accelerate, ahem, ahem...... If I'm not mistaken, we came past a small stone bridge, and we should be almost there......"

"Found it, we found a stone bridge and a creek in front of us, we are not far from the border...... Hooray..."

The crowd cheered, everyone increased their speed, and in a short time the vanguard of Kung Fu had seen the stone bridge and heard the sound of running water.

"It's a lifesaver...... Everyone obeys the order, one person can only drink one handful, and absolutely no overdrinking, this is the order ......"Sima Yun knows that if you drink a lot of cold water after the forced march, you will have cramps in your hands and feet, and you will end up with a lifelong chronic disease, which is not sloppy.

One after another, the soldiers of the new army stepped into the icy stream, scooped up a handful of water to moisten their throats, and continued to run forward, the cool water brought them strength, and the speed of the march increased again.

Sima Yun stood on the stone bridge and shouted at the crowd, "Hurry, hurry, hurry...... Do not linger, speed up the march...... Who is that, why are you drinking it over? You don't want to die......" At this moment, suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the east, and countless soldiers were stunned at that time, and there was no trace of clouds when they looked up at the sky.

"What's going on? It's thundering on a sunny day...... , is it?" and the brothers in the room guessed a frightening possibility almost simultaneously. This is not thunder, this is the explosion of explosives, could it be that the adults have encountered an accident? There is an enemy ambush?

", Charge...... Fight, don't charge me with this life...... Your Excellency is in danger..."

The more than one hundred and fifty lads were all crazy, running on two legs like Hot Wheels, with green tendons jumping around their necks, and the forced march completely turned into a deadly charge.

There is only one thought in everyone's hearts, accelerate and accelerate again, the adults are in danger, and the adults need our support.

Many years later, the peasants of the Franz-Comté region often recited this rapid march, and they had never seen anyone run so desperately in their lives, and one by one, as if possessed by Philippipodis, they were eager to bring back to Athens the news of the victory at Thermopylae.

"It was a horrible Chinese, like a herd of furious bison, more like a pack of wounded wolves as they ran wild, and I shudder to this day when I think of the murderous aura that emanates from them...... Remember the child, don't be an enemy of such an army, it's terrible......"

Xiao He believed that the loud noise they heard was the explosion of the three piles of explosives before the hand-to-hand fight, and now Xiao Letian's escape journey had reached the most critical moment.

Xiao Hexin didn't know what was going on at the border checkpoint, and Xiao Letian didn't know where the brothers who were marching on only two legs had arrived, and the two groups of people almost relied on that bit of intuition to get in touch.

"Mr. Xiao, I must remind you that there are only five minutes left before the half-hour you are talking about...... Please make a decision at once..."The battlefield was so tragic that even the Prussians couldn't stand it anymore, and Jonas grabbed his pocket watch and yelled desperately at Xiao Letian.

"Enough, I've had enough of you, you're crazy... You don't cherish your soldiers too much, such a brave young man can't die in vain... You're a crime......"

"Enough... Shut up...... Xiao Letian's love was out of control, he grabbed Jonas by the bow tie and yelled, "What do you know, do you know what it means to sacrifice in vain? Do you know how the comradeship of these soldiers is condensed? Do you know the history of our army?"

"More than one hundred and fifty brethren are trapped in France, and if I abandon them, they will have no second way but broken jade...... They will not surrender, they will only choose to die together, I understand their hearts, Lao Tzu, my soldiers, ......"

Xiao Letian burst into tears: "I firmly believe...... I'm confident they'll be there, I have this instinct, I have this confidence... Lao Tzu, my army is invincible, they are born to carry it, they have not finished what they should do, they will not die, they will definitely not die......"

Filled with sadness, Xiao Lotian let go of Jonas and looked at the battlefield in the distance, muttering to himself, "My brothers, don't let me down, and don't let our nation down. There are so many people waiting for us to save, how can you die here? Remember for me, the place where your bones are buried will always be on the continent that gave birth to you and raised you......"

Jonas was about to collapse, he really wanted to punch Xiao Letian hard and wake him up. But he couldn't do it, and the sadness revealed by Xiao Letian's body moved him to cry.

At this moment, the observation post of the Prussian army, which was hiding on the commanding heights of the hillside, suddenly stood up, and when he opened his mouth, he screamed and screamed, and his emotions were extremely nervous.

"What's the matter, what is he talking about, sue me ......," Xiao Lotian yelled.

Jonas's face turned white, and he said with trembling lips, "Reinforcements...... Reinforcements from the French arrived ... Another cavalry battalion has already arrived ... They're going to go into battle soon... There is no hope for us..."
