The airship throws a grenade, which is a new chapter in the history of human warfare, and will completely rewrite the traditional means of warfare. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Unknown militants ignore the airship in the air, causing them to be suddenly wiped out just as they are about to succeed.
Wu Peifu used the airship as a cover, led the Tiger Commando team to successfully rush up the mountain, and found Princess Marika who was still alive in a pool of blood.
"Fortify!"
Wu Peifu shouted, and more than a dozen chariots made a defensive posture outward, guarding Princess Marika in the center.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Marika, I am Wu Peifu, the leader of the Tiger Commando Squadron of the Chinese Imperial Shence Army, I was ordered to protect you, you are frightened!"
Wu Peifu respectfully saluted Princess Marika, after all, this princess was already the quasi-imperial concubine of the Chinese Empire, and the etiquette could not be abolished.
It's just that what made Wu Peifu frown was that Princess Marika didn't respond to him immediately, but pounced on a seriously injured man next to her as soon as possible, crying and shouting something she couldn't understand.
Although Wu Peifu couldn't understand what Princess Marika was shouting, as the most powerful special forces commander in the Chinese Empire, he could read the meaning of Princess Marika's expression and guessed that the injured man was the most important person in Princess Marika's life.
However, that person was just dressed as a guard officer, which made Wu Peifu's expression quickly cold.
Wu Peifu has heard a lot about the bloody matter of the princess and the guard, but this kind of thing cannot happen in the royal family of the Chinese Empire, especially this Princess Marika is about to become a concubine of the Emperor Li Weiguo of the Chinese Empire.
"The situation is urgent, send the princess away immediately!"
Wu Peifu glanced at her, and her subordinates suddenly understood, and quickly stepped forward to set up Princess Marika, and despite her struggles, they stuffed her into the chariot.
"Take these people and break through immediately!"
Wu Peifu glanced at the man, to be honest, he was very reluctant in his heart, and even if there was no one else around, he would not hesitate to kill this man.
The Tiger Commando picked up the princess and quickly retreated to the border.
It's not that they don't have the strength to eliminate this gang of "bandits", it's just that Wu Peifu doesn't want to make trouble, and his task is to bring back the princess safely.
The militants were subjected to heavy attacks by the LTTE, suffering heavy casualties, and although some remnants were still attacking, it was difficult to achieve results, and their rifles could not penetrate the tank at all, but were strafed by the heavy machine guns on the tank, and one by one their bodies were broken and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
However, the sneak attackers are also very smart, and there is not just a wave of people.
Mahturm arranged two groups of men, the first of which were armed men who hid their identities, posing as bandits on the border of the Chinese Empire, crossed the border to attack Princess Marika's team, killed Princess Marika and then blamed the Chinese Empire.
But if the first group fails, then the second group will immediately appear to suppress the so-called "bandits of the Chinese Empire", in fact, leaving no room for life, destroying the evidence, and preventing the old king and the Chinese Empire from discovering that it was Mahetur who did it.
This is a double-insurance strategy, one plays the role of a bandit bad guy who kills people and exfiltrates goods, and the other plays the good guy of the regular army who maintains the territorial integrity of the country.
As a result, the army of the Bukhara Khanate suddenly appeared "on time" and stopped Wu Peifu and his party.
"Stop!"
"This is the territory of the Bukhara Khanate, you entered the territory without permission and kidnapped Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Bukhara Khanate, you are an invasion and war, immediately return it to Her Royal Highness the Princess, lay down your weapons and attack, otherwise you will be killed!"
Three thousand troops of the Bukhara Khanate blocked the way of the Tigers, intending to disarm them on high-sounding grounds.
This is the genius of Mahturm, he made two preparations, the fake bandits killed Princess Marika naturally the best to prevent the Bukhara Khanate from becoming a vassal state of the Chinese Empire.
Mahturm deliberately placed the assassination operation on the border in order to let the Chinese Empire see that Princess Marika was attacked, and lure the Chinese Imperial Army to cross the border to rescue. If the fake bandit operation fails and does not kill Princess Marika, then the army of the Bukhara Khanate, which is hiding nearby, will start a war with the Chinese Imperial Army on the grounds that the Chinese Imperial Army has entered the territory of the Bukhara Khanate without authorization, and once the war starts, the Bukhara Khanate will no longer be able to defect to the Chinese Empire.
It can be said that Mahturm made a double insurance for this operation, which shows that his wisdom is very high.
It's a pity that a mountain is still a mountain high.
In the face of Mahturm's conspiracy, Wu Peifu will not give in easily.
"What a time for you! You didn't show up when the princess was attacked, you showed up as soon as we repelled the bandits! ā
As soon as these words came out, the commander of the other party, General Bamu, immediately turned red and was very embarrassed. He was smoking a cigarette and immediately coughed violently.
"Less nonsense, hand over the princess! You're a gang of robbers! This is the territory of the Bukhara Khanate, and if you Chinese Imperial troops enter our territory without permission, you are the enemy, and if you don't lay down your arms, you will be killed! ā
Bamu knew what he was going to do, so he was right, even if he knew he was doing something bad, he was a pug of Prince Maheturm, and he would bite whoever Maheturm told him to bite.
At this moment, his task is to give Princess Marika a shot up, and then blame the Chinese Empire, by the way, exchange fire with the Chinese Imperial Army, provoke a military conflict, and prevent the Bukhara Khanate from falling into the arms of the Chinese Empire.
Wu Peifu sneered: "How do you know that we don't have permission? Your king has given us the right to enter the Bukhara Khanate for military service! ā
Bamu confidently took a puff of Zhonghua brand cigarettes and said disbelievingly: "This is impossible!" ā
Wu Peifu continued to sneer: "Do you think that you rebelled against your master, Maheturm, your old king doesn't know? Let me tell you, we have already agreed with your old king, and now Mahturm is estimated to have been arrested, and our Chinese Empire's four-way army has entered your country. ā
Bamu was a little nervous, and the other party actually knew about Maheturm's rebellion, which showed that the news had already leaked. It's just that there is a bit of truth or falsehood in the other party's words, and he can't judge.
"Who are you scaring about? It's strange to believe you! You can't protect yourself now, even if what you say is true, so what? I will kill you all, my old king can't fight the third prince at all, not to mention that we also have reinforcements, and the British and Russian armies will soon be counted into the Bukhara Khanate, and we are not afraid of your Chinese Empire. ā
"Want to kill me? You don't know your head is already in my hands. Wu Peifu suddenly laughed, laughing so much that Bamu almost felt trembling.
At this moment, the cigarette at the corner of Bamu's mouth was instantly shattered by a sudden bullet, and the gas explosion hurt Bamu's mouth even more, and a piece of blood splattered.
"Bang!"
Bullets come first, gunshots come later.
At the same time, Bamu reacted, and suddenly felt a mouth full of blood, extremely painful, and immediately screamed.
"Ahh
Wu Peifu snorted coldly: "You'd better be honest, our gunner can knock off your cigarette from five hundred meters away, and he can blow your head off, now do you still want to keep us?" ā
Wu Peifu had already arranged for several snipers of the Tiger Commando to ambush on the surrounding high ground to provide support at a critical moment.
Bamu was terrified, he had never seen such a powerful gunman, who could accurately hit the cigarette in his mouth from 500 meters away, and the cliff could blow his head.
Bamu had planned to disarm Wu Peifu and his Tiger Commandos and then execute them.
However, he never expected that Wu Peifu had also made several preparations, and actually sent sharpshooters to ambush around.
Bamuke was worried about his own life, so he didn't dare to give the order to open fire.
"Be calm! If you accidentally go off the rails, you'll die! ā
Wu Peifu deliberately sarcastically mocked Bamu, laughed and took the Tiger Commando to escort Princess Marika away.
When the two sides carefully pulled away a certain distance, Bamu suddenly shouted.
"Give me chase, don't let them run! Kill them! ā
At the same time, on a hill in the distance, sniper shots rang out, and Bamu was shot in the head on the spot, and his body was planted on his horse.
Whether it was Wu Peifu or Bamu, they were just ready to kill each other from the beginning, and they even launched an attack at the same time.
Only the result was different, Bamu died, and then the shells of the Bukhara Khanate army beckoned to Wu Peifu, which also forced Wu Peifu and the Tiger Commandos to stay temporarily.
The cannon roared, and the bullets rained down.
After the two sides opened a certain distance, they quickly started fighting, and the battle instantly became hot.
ā¦ā¦
In the western capital of Ili, Li Weiguo has not yet left, he has to wait for Princess Marika of the Bukhara Khanate to arrive, and take her back to Wuhan, Great Kyoto.
Of course, Li Weiguo's drunkard did not mean to drink, he was more concerned about the situation in the Bukhara Khanate.
The movements of the front line were all detected by airships in the air, and then reported through layers of reports, and a briefing was quickly sent to Li Weiguo.
"Your Majesty, the king of Bukhara, with our help, has managed to take control of the royal capital, and Prince Mahturm has been arrested. In addition, the army of the four towns of the empire had already marched into the Bukhara Khanate, taking control of most of the region. And the Anglo-Russian troops, as if they had received some news, launched an offensive in advance and also stormed the Bukhara Khanate. ā
Li Weiguo nodded, and then ordered the command of the former enemy, demanding that the capital of the Bukhara Khanate and the border near the Chinese Empire must be held before Britain and Russia.
The marching efficiency of the Shence Army of the Chinese Empire was not high, and the dragoon regiment was the main force of this operation, and it was also the first time to use chariots and other means of transportation to participate in the battle.
Although Britain and Russia were half a beat slower, they also made rapid progress and controlled a small area of the royal capital.
When the armies of the two sides met, it was tense and they were eager to meet and start fighting immediately.
In this case, a military confrontation inevitably occurs.
Because Li Weiguo had anticipated this, he ordered the Chinese Imperial Army to move quickly, and sent the fastest dragoon regiment to join in order to stop the British and Russian troops before they fully entered the Bukhara Khanate.
The British and Russian troops, under the banner of an invitation from Prince Makhturm, sent troops to the Bukhara Khanate. However, the British and Russian troops were all infantry and moved slowly.
And the Chinese Imperial Army, relying on the high mobility of the dragoon regiments, quickly entered the territory of Bukhara and occupied most of the valuable territory.
80% of the land of the Bukhara Khanate is desert, 10% is mountainous and hilly, and only 10% of the land is available for development.
The Chinese Empire occupied fertile land, while the British and Russian occupied basically the Sand Willow Land, and it was not as large as the land area of the Chinese Empire.
The military confrontation between the two sides was tense, and the British and Russian army commanders were dumbfounded, they could not have imagined that the Chinese Imperial Army would occupy most of the rich areas of the Bukhara Khanate so quickly, and at the same time prevent the British and French troops from entering the royal city.
The British and French armies were unwilling, but the Chinese Imperial Army was not easy to provoke, and they did not dare to start a war rashly, so they could only wait.
The rebellion of the Bukhara Khanate was quickly put down, and due to the rapid intervention of the Chinese Empire, the British and Russian failed before they had time to react, so the British and Russian armies then withdrew in disgrace.
Li Weiguo inevitably held a celebration banquet for the operatives, until he found Wu Peifu.
"You saved Princess Marika? What is your name? ā
Wu Peifu hurriedly replied: "Minister Wu Peifu, see Your Majesty!" Returning to His Majesty, he served as the captain of the rescue team, and fortunately saved Princess Marika. ā
"What? Your name is Wu Peifu? ā
As soon as Li Weiguo heard Wu Peifu's three words, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, how did this historical boss appear, I don't know if it is the historical Wu Peifu, Li Weiguo can't confirm this.
Wu Peifu was also stunned, to be exact, startled.
"Your Majesty recognizes Weichen?"
Li Weiguo saw that he was out of shape, so he nodded lightly and said, "I have heard of your deeds, and you have performed well in the Tiger Commando!" ā
Wu Peifu was overjoyed, he didn't expect his name to be remembered by His Majesty, which was really embarrassing.
"It's just a merit, not enough to worry about!"
"Your Majesty, the minister has something, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
"Just say it!"
Wu Peifu thought about it, but he still had to tell Li Weiguo about Princess Marika and Duretta's guards.
For this reason, Wu Peifu even sent someone to inquire about the news about the two of them, and told Li Weiguo in one go.
Li Weiguo sighed and said, "Okay, I know that you have ambitions, so I give you a chance, the battlefield on the western front is very important, and our defense line must advance to the Bukhara Khanate, all the way to the east coast of the Caspian Sea." After the outbreak of war, someone needs to destroy the Baku oil fields of the Tsarist Empire, do you have this intention, I need a brave, resourceful and loyal person to do it! ā
Wu Peifu was immediately frightened into a cold sweat when he heard Li Weiguo say the word "ambition", but he was relieved when he heard it, and he suddenly became excited.
"Thank you, Lord Long! I will definitely do this beautifully! ā
Li Weiguo nodded, sent Wu Peifu away, and immediately sank his face.
"Someone, go and get Princess Marika, and that Duretta guard too!" (To be continued.) )
