Chapter 135: The Battle of Toulon (1)

"Division commander, red-haired ghosts come and go very often these days!"

"Well, I guess I was troubled by Ah Fu. "Liu Yongfu took the previously captured monoculars and reconnoitred every move of Toulon, and on the first day he found that a small half of the ships in the port of Toulon had sailed away, and they had taken a part of the French army with them.www.biquge.info

This made him curious and puzzled, and at last he found that the departing French army had not returned, and his heart became happy again.

Because this relieved him of the pressure of attacking Toulon.

Today he was even more excited, and there were several times when French messengers came and went to Toulon, and finally a group of foreigners, dressed differently from the red-haired ghosts, rushed out of Toulon and headed south.

In this way, Toulon's power was further weakened, but it was still difficult to get close to the past, after all, there were fort walls here, and it was not wise to storm it.

So Liu Yongfu thought of an idea early on, whether it can be achieved depends on whether he can find the right candidate.

In the evening, the soldiers who had been sent to find someone brought back a man.

"You really want to fight Toulon." The stranger who was brought in opened his mouth to ask, which made Liu Yongfu slightly embarrassed, and told him that he should not leak the news, how could someone violate discipline.

If this is known to the pro-French faction, it is not dangerous for them and others.

"Don't worry, I won't tell the French red-haired ghost, and your people didn't show their mouths, I guessed it."

The person who spoke saw that Liu Yongfu was very vigilant, his eyes flew out like a knife, and explained: "I am from Humen, Guangdong, my father used to be a small soldier in the Humen Fort, and when the foreigners attacked Humen and bombarded the Weiyuan Fort, he was blown up and killed. ”

"I see!" Listening to this person speak in a thick Cantonese Liu Yongfu was half relieved, the emotional boy is very good at bluffing, and the businessman is really clever, so he said: "Say a few words about the red-haired ghost and see." ”

This person muttered a few words of French that Liu Yongfu and others couldn't understand, and seeing that this was the case, Liu Yongfu said again: "What's your name, why are you helping us, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"My name is Chen Shanen, my name was taken by my uncle, he said let me remember the enmity of my parents, don't forget the enmity of killing my father, and when I grow up, I don't want me to follow the incompetent Manchu Qing to be a soldier and die in vain, so he took me to Nanyang to see the world, and I often settled in Vietnam over the years, so I learned some French, and I went to Toulon once, and when your people found me, I guessed that you definitely wanted to do something to the French, so I also wanted to kill the French, can you take me?"

Liu Yongfu didn't expect this person named Chen Shanen to have such a deep story, so he saw his face full of excitement, nodded and said: "As long as you can afford to carry a knife, you can follow me, you can tell me about the situation in Toulon first." ”

"Good!" Chen Shanen rubbed his hands and told the situation 1510, only to see Liu Yongfu nodding constantly, and then drew a sketch on the ground.

Finally, after careful consideration, Liu Yongfu said to Chen Shanen: "At that time, we will pretend to be the Vietnamese puppet army and flee to Toulon in embarrassment, at that time, don't be cowardly, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are shot indiscriminately by the red-haired ghost, which is hundreds of lives." ”

Hearing this plan, Chen Shanen swallowed his neck, he was really a little nervous, hundreds of lives were handed over to him like this, and it was really a great responsibility.

However, he has been running a boat all the year round, has experienced strong winds and waves in the South Seas, and has no father since he was a child, and the child without a father has long been in charge, so he nodded resolutely and looked resolute.

Toulon has not been attacked by Vietnamese officers and troops since it was occupied by the French in 1858, and it is like a diaper thrown out by Vietnam, which fertilizes others and disgusts itself.

The French army from Toulon could directly threaten Hue, so Nguyen Phuc Shi was unable to sleep, but he was helpless, the French battleships were too powerful, and the artillery range was long, and the Vietnamese army did not dare to touch this brow at all.

Therefore, the French army is very stable here, and there was some anxiety in the past few years, but with the repair of the city wall and the improvement of the high forts, and the completion of the facilities in the city, it is natural that it has become contemptuous and slack.

In the past half month, because of the unfavorable battle at the front, the number of wounded has increased, and they have been busy.

On this day, the French defending Toulon spotted a group of defeated soldiers rushing straight from the south, and the French saw from a distance that they were still holding at least two flags, one of the French flag and the other of the Vietnamese servants.

This did not lead to a bombardment, and sure enough, a man shouted in broken Oriental French:

"Help, Lord Fa, Lord Fa, the Qing people are coming, the Qing people are coming."

"What's the situation!"

"What did he say!"

"They're saying that there's only a godfather in the world. Ha ha! ”

Soon several gunshots rang out, and what came into view was another group of troops in strange uniforms, which caused exclamations from the French soldiers as soon as they appeared.

"Dog/! It is the Qing people, the devil of the East, the devil of murder, who is chasing and killing our servant army. ”

"Notify the fort to shell the Qing people, and kill these devilish Qing people in the East."

The battle in front has long spread to the rear, especially in Toulon, which is close at hand, and the results of the 6th Division have been demonized by the wounded soldiers of the French army sent here.

When it comes to the 6th Division, they are gritting their teeth with a bit of fear, especially the rumors that the New People's Army will skin people and eat human flesh.

However, with a city like Toulon, they were much more at ease, and the powerful artillery fire and fortified city gave them more confidence, which turned into bloodthirsty excitement.

Their attention was all turned to the pursuing New Nationalists, and they glanced at the cowardly servants approaching, showed a mocking laugh, and then didn't care.

"Boom, boom."

Dozens of French artillery opened fire and smashed into the New People's Army, which was pursuing the show, and the New People's Army scattered and fled, throwing even their weapons on the ground, screaming and screaming, and then retreating.

"Long live, long live, the devils of the Qing Kingdom have been defeated by us, they are a bunch of cowards who dare not duel with our cannons."

The French soldiers shouted and boasted to their heart's content, and their self-confidence swelled to the extreme, and Green, the highest officer guarding here, also said when he saw this:

"Dear Imperial Warriors, we have successfully repelled the Qing people, we are even more heroic than Major Weixi's troops, take your muskets, take your weapons, go out of the city, give me to pursue the devils in the east, God grant us glory, go and harvest the devil's heads, dragon slayer warriors, on!"

"Harvest the head of the devil, for the glory of France, kill it!"

"Harvest the head of the devil, for the glory of France, kill it!"

Liu Yongfu was already close to the city defense of Toulon, and many people were carrying explosive bags, waiting to gather together and blast down the walls and gates built by the French, but they didn't expect the French to open the gate and want to pursue the New People's Army, which made everyone look at each other.

It's a little off-track.

"Hey, yellow-skinned monkey, you are frightened, we saved your little life, don't kowtow to thank us, hurry up and follow our ass, come and help us take care of the prisoners, no, it's to help the devils of the Qing Kingdom collect the corpses."

Yes, the confident and romantic French army even booked prisoners.
