Chapter 434: Asking for Help

"No problem, leave everything to me!"

Under Fu Wendao's command, the soldiers of an infantry battalion quickly spread out in a company phalanx to prepare for the attack position, Fu Wendao was a veteran commander, and his many days on Yuhuan Island did not make his command skills inferior. 1――

On the contrary, those days honed Fu Wendao, and his commanding art reached a new peak, and as far as today is concerned, he disguised his attack attempts well at first.

An infantry platoon made a detour from afar, firing at the Russians, drawing the eyes of the entire battlefield to it, and Major Raymond only saw heavy layers of white mist from afar, and he was clearly careless.

Not only Major Raymond was careless, but even Major Sergei was equally careless, his vision was obscured by the white smoke of gunpowder, and it was only after wiping his eyes that he suddenly noticed four infantry companies with bayonets, roaring and rushing up the hill he was guarding.

Their movements were so swift that the Russians barely had time to fire their bullets before the white soldiers came to the point where the white soldiers came into contact, and both sides used a fierce salvo as the main stream of the first duel, and then four infantry companies of the Rainbow Army overwhelmed the Russians in the front half of the company.

That's right, even before Major Raymond could react, he was dumbfounded to find Sergei's company surrounded by the Chinese, and he could even see the scene of the two sides fighting with bayonets, it was a collision of blood and blood.

Damn, Major Raymond had to admit that he was careless. He didn't even figure out where these Chinese people rushed up, Fu Wendao's command was so good that it could almost be described as perfect.

An infantry company was thus exposed to the bayonets of the Chinese, and on top of them were two six-pounder guns operated by French artillery, and he found himself in the midst of another crisis in his military career.

Major Raymond was quick to figure it out. He commanded loudly: "Captain Pol, Captain Pol." Take the Chinese people to rescue Sergei's company, he can't hold out for long! ”

Although he did not know what kind of bayonet the Chinese people had, judging by his experience in the Crimea. These Russian peasants are a good pack of mules, though. After all, they were just a pack of mules, and they were often easily repelled by the French and English when they fought with bayonets, and they had lost their usual stoic and perseverance.

Of course, their opponents were different, but the problem was that they were under four times as many enemy sieges, and Major Raymond saw that from time to time people fell, sometimes in grass-green figures, sometimes in gray military caps.

By now, the casualties of the Europeans may have exceeded the sum of yesterday and the day before yesterday. Major Raymond sent Captain Pol over, and in his imagination, the Chinese people would have a great deal to suffer.

Behind Sergei there were nearly a thousand Chinese government soldiers, and in front of them, a Russian company withstood the first wave of the rebels' offensive, and these government troops could easily organize a counteroffensive, rushing directly into the rebels' formation, and beating the rebels to the ground with the Russians.

In fact, between the Rainbow Army and the Qing Army, only a few rifle crews were there responsible for intercepting thousands of Qing troops. Three minutes later, without any smile on Major Raymond's face, he realized that he had made a completely wrong decision.

Yes, it was the biggest mistake of his life, he should not have sent Captain Pohl to organize a counteroffensive against the Chinese government forces, all of which had their courage and confidence from the support of the Europeans, who were not surprised to collapse when they saw the hundreds of Russians and French surrounded by rebels, with blood staining the entire hill red. ..., in fact, it was worse than a collapse, and although Captain Pol drove them with his sabre, they kept moving backwards, exposing their backs to the fierce volleys of the rainbow army, and blocking the way for the French to come to their aids.

Damn it! Damn, Major Raymond saw the double eagle banner on the hill cut down, and then a grizzly bear held the flag, and several bayonets stabbed him in the body.

There was no suspense in the battle, when the four infantry companies rushed up for the first time, even though these Russian mules had great ability, and even had a super level of performance in hand-to-hand combat, they finally collapsed.

He saw the grizzly-like Captain Sergei running at the front, he threw away the double eagle banner and the French artillery delivered to him, and ran desperately to the rear with only thirty or forty men, while the rebels organized fire from behind him, and kept firing, and some of the general rebels even chased after him.

"Save these Russians! Damn Orthodox Christians! Major Raymond cursed, but ordered one of his own companies to rush forward with a French company to save Sergei's company.

The direction of their advance was completely blocked by the Qing army, and the collapsed Qing army caused great trouble for Raymond, especially when they saw that even the Europeans could not support it, and they attacked Raymond with the momentum of the tide.

"God......

The French company managed to make a way with their bayonets, and they were immediately bombarded by the rebels, who even fired at them with captured French artillery, and the battle quickly became a costly one.

Raymond saw Captain Sergei, who looked like a grizzly bear, almost flee back to his route, when a bullet slammed into his temple when he was only one step away from him.

The rescue battle even became meaningless, and in the end there were only a dozen Russians and French who fled, and the French artillery was almost all left on the hill, and the French company that went to the rescue reported a number that made Major Raymond's heart ache: "Eighteen casualties, four killed, fourteen wounded......"

In fact, this was just the beginning of a series of casualty figures, and the Rainbow soon found themselves in a perfect offensive position, setting up more artillery on this small hill and constantly bombarding the coalition and Qing forces with them.

The performance of the Chinese government army, which has been doing well in the past two days, can be described as vulnerable today, and many of them have deserted after discovering that the entire company of the Europeans has been completely annihilated by the rebels.

The Rainbow Army quickly seized this opportunity, and they constantly attacked the soft underbelly of the Qing army, and after the Qing army suffered heavy losses, they plunged like sharp knives between the French and the Russians.

Fortunately, Major Raymond did not make the same mistake as he did at the beginning, and he continued to send out French and Russian companies, as well as foreign mercenaries, to reinforce and fight, which also represented an increasing number of casualties.

There were times when the Rainbow Army was forced to retreat, there were times when the Rainbow Army confronted the Coalition forces, and there were times when the Coalition forces had to abandon their bodies and retreat backwards in disarray, but regardless of the outcome of these combat operations, the Coalition forces had to pay considerable casualties in these battles.

Pan Dingxin, who was beside Major Raymond, suggested retreating: "Your Excellency, General, we must retreat, if we don't retreat, we will be in danger of being hit hard!" ”

Major Raymond knew well that the battle lines on both sides were becoming chaotic, and in such a situation if a forced retreat was made, it would represent Napoleon's retreat from Moscow: "Pan, I will not agree with your proposal, French soldiers, it is time to test you!" ”

It must be admitted that at this time, the individual quality and team spirit of the French army can be described as impeccable, and they can be said to be the strongest army in the whole army, so as the battle continued, Major Raymond did indeed perform miracles. ..., he succeeded in organizing a line of defense, which, although full of Allied corpses and wounded, at least he had a company in reserve, and as the battle progressed, he organized all the Europeans who remained in the rear.

There were almost two hundred Europeans armed, and the offensive of the Rainbow Army was temporarily halted, and both sides had almost exhausted all their strength, so Major Raymond finally organized a retreat to Fengjing Town, and he had to abandon all the wounded and allied corpses of the Chinese government troops, in fact, he could hardly even take the wounded Europeans with him, if it weren't for the temporary help of a French missionary.

But it was the most embarrassing day in the history of Major Raymond, and today the Chinese government forces were devastated, and there were less than a thousand remaining governments that continued to follow the coalition forces, and the coalition forces suffered the same heavy losses, one company of the Russians was completely annihilated, and in the ensuing battle, eighteen soldiers of a French platoon never returned to the place from which they had started.

They withdrew to Fengjing Town in the pursuit of the Rainbow Army, and when they just withdrew to Fengjing Town, they heard the cheers of the pursuing Rainbow Army like angry waves, and Major Raymond asked Pan Dingxin beside him: "Pan, what are the Chinese people talking about?" What is Yanwang? What is this?"

Pan Dingxin hesitated for a while, and finally said a desperate news: "It's King Yan...... The Supreme Commander of the Rainbow Army......"

Major Raymond could only reply in one sentence: "Oh my God...... It's simply the worst news I've ever heard, it's as if they're welcoming His Majesty the Emperor......"

Pan Dingxin didn't know that the Emperor His Majesty that this foreigner was referring to the most amazing His Excellency Napoleon, he only knew one thing: "General Raymond, we need support, otherwise we will be annihilated!" ”

"That's right, we need support!" Raymond agrees with this judgment: "Ask the Montoban command for help, we need support, or he will face another ...... defeat in Haiti" (to be continued.
