"That's a good idea!" Shi Huiji felt that it was good to partner with Fu Wendao: "I'd rather have a capable infantry battalion than an infantry regiment that drags down." ”

At present, the remaining combat and non-combatants of the Marine Regiment are almost the standard of an infantry battalion, but if they fight with the current formation, then it can only be a large infantry battalion with a very chaotic formation, and only half of the personnel who can really participate in the battle: "I'm afraid that King Yan's side will not agree." ”

Fu Wendao didn't speak, he had suffered a loss, but he heard that there was already a horse galloping over there: "His Royal Highness King Yan has an order, that is, order the 11th Marine Regiment to organize a powerful infantry battalion to advance north, ready to engage the thieves at any time!" ”

"Order!" Shi Huiji waved a fist excitedly: "Sure enough, the hero sees the same, and the hero sees the same!" ”

……

The autumn breeze is blowing.

Nan Bohang followed closely behind Liu Chang's horse, and a faint sound of artillery could be heard under the white clouds in the distance, where scouts on both sides were firing sporadically, which made the officers and men of the guard platoon become vigilant.

Now there is only a cavalry platoon on Liu Chang's side, although it is equipped with Minie rifles and revolvers, but the strength is too limited, in case there is a large group of French troops, it is definitely not an opponent.

Liu Chang's horse stopped, he looked north, searched with the binoculars in his hand, but still did not find the familiar and unfamiliar tricolor.

After a long time, Nanbo Hang heard Liu Chang sigh: "Treasure land...... Treasure land, ......"

Can it be a treasure land, this is the essence of the whole of South China, the real land of fish and water, but this kind of terrain is not conducive enough for the defense of the Rainbow Army.

Looking from the horse of Nanbo Hang, I only saw the vast wilderness, although there was a water network longitudinal cut, but it was a large plain that was very conducive to the movement of large corps, and in this kind of terrain, the combat effectiveness of the rainbow army was always inferior to that of the French army.

Although there is no shadow of any enemy troops wearing blue military uniforms and red breeches. Liu Chang knew that thousands of enemy troops were sweeping in from the north, trying to overwhelm him and the entire Rainbow Army.

Therefore, Nan Bohang followed Liu Chang's tone and said: "It's a treasure land, if our army loses Su Jia, the Qing Demon will definitely make a comeback." It's a pity that the 1st Division didn't rush back. ”

This is one of the things that Nan Bohang regrets the most, if the main force of the first division participates in the battle of Fengjing Town, then the Hong army will have the certainty of a complete victory, so he has quite an objection to letting Qu Jie decide the time for the first division to return to the east.

"When the first division will come back, that's what Commander Qu decides......" Liu Chang didn't have as many grievances as Nan Bohang: "What we have to do now is to do our best to fight this battle well, believe me." There is still a turning point in this battle. ”

"But!" Although Nan Bohang is a young Zhuang faction in the rainbow army, he has little confidence in blocking the joint offensive of the French and Russian armies to the south, and although the infantry battalions near Fengjing Town have reached as many as ten, half of them have suffered considerable casualties, and there are still considerable forces that must be used to besiege the remnants of Fengjing Town.

"However, we don't have enough troops now, and there are tens of thousands of Yi soldiers and Qing demons in the north, and there are many Yi soldiers. There are few demons! ”

"So what, I'm here!" Liu Chang raised his horsewhip: "This is another Waterloo in France!" ”

"Waterloo?" Nanbo Hang reacted after a while: "King Yan, are we here?" ”

"That's right. We will organize the defense here, as long as the reserve brigade works harder, this is another Waterloo for the French! ”

He threw his whip to the ground: "Tell the soldiers that you are not allowed to cross this line!" ”

"I'm here, and this is Waterloo!"

With Liu Chang's order, the entire Hong Army had been mobilized, and the three infantry battalions, including the mixed marine battalion, had rushed to the predetermined defensive battlefield within a few hours, and built fortifications according to the experience of previous battles. …,

However, since the next opponent was the French army, the standard of fortifications was also greatly improved compared to the past, and the infantry and sappers armed with sapper shovels quickly turned Akino into a strong defensive line.

The autumn wind is coming!

When they had just finished building the fortifications. The French outposts had arrived, and the infantry from both sides quickly made contact, with sporadic gunfire and white smoke rising from time to time.

Another critical day has arrived.

The morning fog peculiar to southern China had not yet lifted, but the commander of the French and Russian expeditionary forces, Mentoban, washed his horse and stepped onto it.

In front of him, tens of thousands of rebels. According to the information he obtained, the rebels deployed three or four infantry battalions on the frontal line alone, and several more on the two flanks.

These infantry battalions are the elite units of the rebels, and the Chinese government army shuddered at the sight of their names, and in the past year, the rebels have been fighting again and again? p>

The honor of the government army is trampled underfoot? p>

They are all armed with European-style firearms, and the troops who fought yesterday reported that they were armed with a large number of mini rifles, at least the level of the Russian army in Crimea, and the number of light artillery was more than the estimates of the side.

He no longer refers to his opponent as a rebel, he must admit that the enemy in front of him is powerful and admirable, but it must also be defeated.

Infantry company after company phalanx and battalion phalanx stood in front of Montoban, dressed in French blue uniforms and red breeches, just like the army of the Scoop Poleon era that kept all of Europe without a fight.

He was proud of them, and they were proud, this was the soul of the French Empire, and he had the feeling of shouting to the sky: "Soldiers, I am Commander Montoban!" ”

The soldiers greeted the lecture of Major General Montoban with their bayonet rifles, and the Major General was no longer the old young general who fought under the Algerian sun, nor an old bureaucrat who was a worldly old bureaucrat, but a standard French soldier.

The Buddha was one of those heroic spirits who became generals at the age of thirty, and Montoban told him in heroic language: "Today we will have the rarest opportunity since we entered China, and I will attack a fortified position with three or four battalions of French infantry, well armed, ample with ammunition, and their commander is a great general!" ”

"But victory belongs to France, to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The soldiers waved their bayonets and responded to Montoban with a wave of heat: "Victory belongs to France, to His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"The enemy is ready to help, they have built a lot of fortifications, but my soldiers, my officers, like you, remember the glory of Austerlitz!"

He spoke of the most glorious moment in the history of the empire, and in fact, Mentoban preferred to use another term to describe the battle, which was the "Battle of the Three Emperors", but it was not quite appropriate for this occasion.

"Don't worry about our flanks, two Russian battalions will hold them back!" Mentoban loved the joke: "Men of France, create another glory of Austerlitz with your hands......"

"I command ......"

With the order of Major General Meng Toban, the five infantry battalions of the entire French army and the two Qing infantry battalions that coordinated their actions began to move, and they who walked out of the morning fog also met Liu Chang's eyes: "Has Liu Ping's battalion arrived?" ”

"It's already here!" Nan Bohang responded to Liu Chang's question: "In addition, the Jiaxing detachment has also been organized into a mixed battalion on standby according to the example of the Marine Corps!" ”

"Let them transfer the wounded as soon as possible!" Liu Chang advised: "Now there are too many wounded in the field hospital near Fengjing Town, and there may be a large number of wounded to be evacuated today, and they must be transferred as soon as possible." ...," I don't need you to explain. Nan Bohang replied: "They have done a good job in this matter, and today the brigade commander of the reserve brigade Yu reported that a general attack on Fengjing Town will be carried out according to the scheduled plan." ”

Now the Hong Army deploys five infantry battalions to block the first line of the position, two infantry battalions are placed on the second line on standby, and three infantry battalions are used to solve the remnants of the French army in Fengjing Town, and the battlefield of the decisive battle between the two sides is placed on this line of defense in front of Liu Chang.

Now you don't need binoculars, you can use the French soldiers in red breeches, many of them are singing the Marseillaise, although this is a forbidden song from the era of the Second French Empire, but under the sporadic guns of the Rainbow Army, the French army sang this passionate war song again: "Forward! Advance! The dirty blood of the enemy will irrigate our fields! ”

They were all lined up in a neat phalanx, their morale was high, the dust on their bodies could not overpower their passion, they were fighting to save their robes, they were the best soldiers.

Fu Wendao exclaimed in the telescope: "The strongest teacher in the world, but that's it......"

Shi Huiji, who was beside him, replied: "But that's the enemy!" ”

"It is precisely because it is an enemy that it deserves such praise." Fu Wendao said in an aria tone: "Defeat such an enemy, build their heads into a mountain-like Jingguan, so that they will not dare to invade us for a hundred years, when I think of this, I am a little drunk!" ”

"Sure enough, a great idea!" Shi Huiji also smiled: "After our Marine Regiment has finished this battle, how can it be compared with the Dragon Lance Regiment and the Nanxi Regiment." ”

In fact, there have been a number of news reports sent to Europe that have mentioned "Devil" and his Marine Brigade, and have written about the total annihilation of a Russian company as a true ancient Greek tragedy.

It was only before Shi Huiji realized his idea that the French artillery was the first to fire.

The graceful arcs quickly changed the situation on the battlefield, and after a few minutes, Shi Huiji had to half-kneel on the ground and shouted: "We must suppress the French artillery fire!"
