Zheng Sen was sitting in his room in the Second Army of the First Army of the British Foreign Legion at this time, looking anxious.

Since three days ago, the British commander David led 20,000 horses to attack Wenzhou City, except for the news that the forward troops had occupied Wenzhou City and that the main force was about to be pulled out, except for the news that the forward troops had occupied Wenzhou City and that the main force was about to be deployed.

Although Zheng Sen comforted himself vigorously, telling himself that the British army had a full 20,000 men, David was an experienced commander, and the officers and soldiers were insufficient, it was absolutely impossible for this operation to fail.

He needed this operation to wash away his shame, but unfortunately David refused his request to join the army, saying that he wanted him to stay and stabilize his father.

But two days have passed, and no news has come from the front line, which makes Zheng Sen, who was originally full of confidence, feel more and more unconfident, and he has begun to feel that something is wrong.

But there was nothing he could do, and the matter was originally an agreement between him and the British behind his father's back. If you go to your father to confess now, you will definitely be punished by your father.

But it was indeed an ordeal to let him sit here and wait.

"Steven, isn't there any news from General David?" Zheng Sen couldn't sit still, walked out of the room, and happened to see a familiar soldier, so he grabbed him and asked eagerly.

This British soldier Steven is the orderly of Smith, the commander of the Second Army of the First Army of the British Foreign Legion, and he is also an acquaintance of Zheng Sen.

I have to say that Zheng Sen has a great talent for languages, and after working with these British people for more than half a year, his English level has improved by leaps and bounds, and there is no problem with ordinary daily conversations.

"Zheng, you don't look good. Why are you so worried? Our British Empire's armies have yet to meet no rivals. I tell you, we once routed the enemy's three thousand infantry with three hundred soldiers on a black road, and those indigenous soldiers quickly lost all courage in the face of our bullets. In the end, their kings were guillotined by us.

So, you don't have to worry at all. General David will have good news for us. ”

Orderly Steven looked confident, his smile full of optimism and confidence.

Zheng Sen sighed and smiled reluctantly: "You are right, I should have full confidence in General David. ”

After saying goodbye to Steven, Zheng Sen was about to go to the training ground to practice shooting when suddenly a British soldier ran over and shouted, "Zheng, your father has sent someone to find you." ”

Zheng Sen followed the soldier to the gate of the barracks, and saw Zheng Fu, the housekeeper of his family, waiting outside the door.

Seeing Zheng Sen, Zheng Fu hurriedly stepped forward, took out a letter in his arms, handed it to Zheng Sen, and said in a low voice: "Young master, this is what the master asked me to hand over to you, saying that it is a matter of great importance, so you must not delay." ”

Zheng Sen was very puzzled when he heard this, and immediately opened the letter and read it, and after reading it, his face suddenly changed greatly:

Because the letter reads: "Sen'er, David's 20,000 British troops have been wiped out. David was also captured by the official army, and the official army had already captured Jianning City, and your grandmother and your third uncle had fallen into the hands of the official army. I want to send troops to fight back and save your grandmother and third uncle.

It's just that I've now found out that Pi San has secretly defected to the imperial court, and intends to take the remaining 20,000 British troops as a letter of surrender. He would soon go to General Smith, under the pretext that he had been ordered by me to contact General Smith to send troops against the officers.

In fact, he had already contacted the officers and soldiers to ambush the British army halfway. Once the British army is defeated, there will be no strength in front of our Zheng family that can be relied on. In order to confuse General Smith, Pisan will definitely cover up David's defeat at the front. You must inform General Smith of this matter as soon as possible, and state to General Smith the attitude of our Zheng family, and ask him not to misunderstand us. Be sure to! ”

Seeing that his grandmother and third uncle were captured by the official army and Jianning City fell, Zheng Sen's eyes were dark and he almost fell to the ground.

He didn't care about his third uncle who ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, but when he thought that his grandmother, who loved him the most, also fell into the hands of the official army, Zheng Sen's heart suddenly felt like a knife, and he was anxious.

Now he can't wait to run to find his father, and then lead a team of soldiers and horses to rescue his grandmother. However, the lesson of the last failure made him understand the strength and horror of the official army, and the frustration in his heart rose again.

And what worries him the most still happened, the British army of 20,000 people was annihilated, and the commander David was captured, which is simply incredible.

But he couldn't disbelieve his father's words, and the fact that there was no news from the front for two days also confirmed this.

And a very simple logic is that if it were not for the defeat of the British army, then the official army would not be able to take Jianning City.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sen's heart was full of loss and grief.

What he thought was a strong foreign aid to the British failed like this? It also attracted the revenge of the officials and the army, and even his grandmother fell into the hands of the officials.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt that all the hard training he had been training for the past few months had been wasted.

Pi Three! You traitor!

When my Zheng family was in this calamity, you were going to backhand. Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for the injustice of the Zheng family.

The grief and frustration in Zheng Sen's heart turned into hatred for Pi San at this time, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and after loading the letter, he strode towards the barracks of Smith, the commander of the Second Army.

Smith is also British, having previously served in the Royal Army. But at that time it was just a colonel. But after being transferred to the Foreign Legion, he was promoted to general, and he would have more opportunities for meritorious service, which was the main reason why he came here.

Smith has the traditional rigidity of the British, with a suspicious sparkle in his small eyes.

Indeed, he was a suspicious person.

However, Smith has clearly been a little preoccupied in the past two days.

He was also worried about the situation at the front.

For David's first defeat, Smith later did a very detailed understanding, including the combat courage of both sides, tactics, weapons and equipment, command level and so on.

Although David did a good job of covering it up, Smith still learned about it.

From this information, he sensed that the opponent they were facing was a very formidable opponent, whether it was in terms of equipment level, or in terms of soldier courage or command.

This made Smith worry that he had come overseas to make a fortune and make a career, but he was not here to die.

This time, David's expedition did not have any information for two whole days, which made the already suspicious Smith even more worried.

He realized that something might have happened, but he didn't dare to think about it.

At this moment, the orderly Steven came to report: "General, Zheng Sen is outside the door, saying that he has an urgent matter to see you. ”

"Ask him to come in." Smith nodded.

He still has a good impression of Zheng Sen, a diligent and intelligent young man.

As soon as Zheng Sen came in, he closed the door and said eagerly: "General Smith, something is wrong. ”

Then he told his father what was on his mind, and made some appropriate renderings.

"General Smith, please take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to change sooner or later." Zheng Sen finally said eagerly.

Smith was really shocked after hearing this, he didn't expect that David's 20,000 men would really fail completely, and even he himself would be captured.

"It's just crazy, poor David. Thank you for the news, rest assured, I won't let those insidious snakes bite me. ”

Smith said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

He wasn't worried about a small Pisan, after all, he still had 20,000 horses in his hands.

As long as Zheng Zhilong doesn't stop him, a little Pi San is nothing.

Orderly Steven came in again at this time and said: "Report to the general, there is a person named Pi San outside the camp gate, who said that he was the leader of General Zheng's subordinates, and said that he came to you on the order of the Zheng family's army. ”

Hearing that Pi San had indeed arrived, Smith sneered, nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

After the orderly left, Smith pointed to the small room behind him and said to Zheng Sen, "You go in first, I will let you see my determination." ”

Zheng Sen nodded, walked into the back room, and closed the door.
