Chapter 957: Xi Changzhen retreats as advances

After Lu Shaochuan heard the noise coming from the door of the tent, he didn't raise his head, and said impatiently: "Don't you know that I and Brigade Commander Liu are discussing a big matter?" Get out! Get out"

"Yo, Master Lu has such a big temper!" The man spoke.

After Lu Shaochuan heard the voice, his body trembled, his face showed surprise, he hurriedly stood up, and said humbly: "President, why are you here?" Liu Jintang also stood up and smiled. He had been pushing Lu Shaochuan south just now, but he didn't expect Li Zhen to come in the blink of an eye, which made Liu Jintang extremely embarrassed.

After Li Zhen sat down, he said with a smile: "Brigade Commander Liu, you are very bold!" ”

Liu Jintang smiled, but immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly: "President, everything I said is the truth. On the battlefield, we pay attention to fighters, and we must not miss the opportunity and never come again. The armies of the eight countries are rushing to the capital of Vietnam, trying to attack Huanglong, and if we stay at home and do not send troops, there will definitely be a problem. ”

After Li Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.

This kid is interesting!

"Pass the order and set off for the south!"

Li Zhen did not reprimand, and immediately gave the order to go south.

Liu Jintang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became excited. He gave Li Zhen a military salute, turned around and ran out. Immediately afterwards, Lu Shaochuan also left the big tent to convey the order. The army set off for the south towards Vietnam. By the time Li Zhen began to move south, the fighting in Vietnam had already begun. Because the 50,000 army led by Xi Changzhen has already met with the coalition army composed of eight countries.

Xi Changzhen military camp, the big tent of the Chinese army.

He stood in front of the map, staring at it carefully, and sketched with the brush in his hand. A map was drawn in a mess by Xi Changzhen in a short time. His eyes did not blink, and finally he made a heavy stroke on the map, painted a large black dot, and then threw away the brush in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Report!"

A loud voice came from outside the tent, and in an instant, a young general strode in.

This general stood in front of Xi Changzhen, clenched his fists and said, "Marshal, today's foreigners' army has launched another attack on the Changshan slope under our control. Although the brothers stationed on the mountain repelled the foreigners, the brothers were ordered not to launch a counterattack, and they were very puzzled. Please give the order and launch a counteroffensive immediately! ”

Xi Changzhen shook his head and said, "Now is not the time for a counterattack!" ”

The general asked: "Dare to ask the commander, when will you be able to launch a counteroffensive?" ”

Xi Changzhen was not annoyed after listening to the general's tone, smiled slightly, and said, "When it's time to launch a counteroffensive, I will give the order." Now, continue to guard the long hillside. ”

The general frowned and did not speak.

Xi Changzhen continued: "It's not a bad thing to stick to it. Compared with the foreigners, our firepower is slightly inferior. Even if there are a large number of people, it is not the best strategy to use the number of people to bridge the gap between the two sides. You go and convey the order, if the next time the army of the Eight Nations attacks again, pretend to be tired, and let the foreigners capture the slopes of the long mountain. ”

"Ahh

When the general heard this, he was even more surprised.

Isn't this a surrender of one's control?

Xi Changzhen's expression was solemn, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Didn't Ben make it clear?" Go to the herald now! ”

"Yes!"

Seeing Xi Changzhen's might, the general didn't dare to refute anymore, turned around and retreated. It's just that the general muttered in his heart what kind of calculation Xi Changzhen was making, why did he give away the place he occupied? In particular, the long hillside is an important place to hold important traffic positions, and once it is occupied by foreigners, they can only retreat.

……

The military camp of the Eight Nations, the big tent of the Chinese army.

Gobard, Rankfurt, Ma Hui and other envoys, as well as the commanders of the British army and the French army, were all there.

It's just that there are no American troops here.

Gobard looked at the people present and said with a smile: "Everyone, after several battles, I don't think Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen's troops are very good. He has been forced by us to hold on. And it's hard to hold on. With two more onslaughts, we will be able to take the long hill, and then defeat Xi Changzhen and approach the capital of Vietnam. ”

Ma Hui smiled: "Yes, I think so!" ”

Everyone in the big tent nodded, and the commander of the first cadre also agreed.

Gobard smiled and continued: "Since everyone thinks this is the case, I propose that tomorrow, launch another attack and take the long hillside at once. Defeat Xi Changzhen! ”

"Good!"

The people in the big tent responded in unison, and their fighting spirits were high.

……

The next day, the Eight-Nation Coalition launched an attack, and the Coalition Army launched a surging charge, and Xi Changzhen's army was insufficient, so that the Eight-Nation Coalition Army easily took the long hillside. Moreover, Xi Changzhen led the army to retreat, not daring to stop the army of the eight countries, and he had been beaten to the point that he had no power to fight back. At this time, the army of the Eight Nations was extremely excited, and they were extremely optimistic about this battle report, believing that the battle would be won, and it would be easy to win, so they continued to pursue.

On the other side, Li Zhen's army advanced rapidly.

When the news from the front came, Liu Jintang came to Li Zhen's side and said, "President, Xi Changzhen is quite scheming. He took the initiative to show weakness and kept retreating. As a result, the armies of the eight countries will continue to advance, and the arrogance of the armies of the eight countries will become heavier and heavier. I think that the time for Xi Changzhen to launch a counteroffensive is approaching. Our plan can be executed. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, execute it immediately!" ”

Liu Jintang got the order and immediately retreated.

……

On the tenth day of the first month of June, on this day, the Eight-Nation Alliance caught up with Xi Changzhen's army, and the two armies fought.

In this battle, Xi Changzhen failed again and continued to flee.

After Gobard and the rest of the commanders got the news, they all thought that this was an opportunity and must be seized, and they all wanted to completely defeat Xi Changzhen and cut off one of Xi Yinglong's arms. Therefore, nearly 10,000 people of the Eight-Nation Alliance launched an attack and vigorously pursued Xi Changzhen's army. The two sides chase me and run away, very compact.

Because of the large number of troops in the Eight Nations, the speed of the soldiers varied, and gradually, the ranks became longer and longer, forming a long dragon. Chasing all the way, Gobard and the others who followed behind had a smile on their faces.

This battle, won!

Gobard invited Ruan Lele and Ruan Mingde over, and said with a smile: "Princess Ruan, we have won this battle. In the near future, the army will arrive in the capital of Vietnam. Your choice is undoubtedly correct, follow the armies of the eight countries, and what you get is a bright future. You went to Beijing for more than a month, hehe, you didn't get anything. ”

Ruan Lele hummed and didn't make too many comments.

"Report!"

When Gobard was satisfied, the soldier in charge of the reconnaissance quickly ran back. The soldier came up to Gobard and shouted: "Something is going on ahead, our army is ambushed. ”

ps: The fourth shift, call it a day. Approaching the Chinese New Year, there are many things at home, forgive me. There is an update in the early morning, don't wait.
