At the beginning of the shelling outside, Priushenko was in his official residence, discussing with several important generals how to deal with the current critical situation.
Prior to this, Pryushenko had just personally shot a colonel who had the audacity to offer that for the safety of the more than 2,000 tsarist soldiers in the compound, he might as well accept the persuasion of the colonel to surrender at such a critical juncture. In Pryushenko's angry words, since you are afraid of death, since you want to give up the honor of a tsarist soldier, then why do you want to *** rush here?
In fact, in the current official residence, everyone, including Pryushenko, knows very well that even if this strong military camp can support it for a while, it will be breached sooner or later. But what is this? People are inherently dead, and the key is to die well, to die vigorously, and this truth is also well understood by Priushenko and his followers.
Therefore, Pryushenko is now anxious to create a miracle, that is, to make the tsar's tricolor flag flutter more in the red sea outside. For this sole purpose, he even began to be meticulous enough to ask the generals that from now on, the food in the compound must be distributed and eaten in a planned manner, and those war horses that have lost their due value must also be disposed of one after another and turned into food for the soldiers, so as not to cause people and beasts to fight for food at the last difficult moment. As for the few wells in the compound, it is necessary to send a reliable army to protect them and so on......
"For the sake of the Holy Tsar, I have fought for half my life, and I have never disappointed our Majesty." Pryushenko's big furry hands tugged at his curls a few times, and then began to wave wildly again, "Now, we have to prove with our actions that we are worthy of the holy Tsar, worthy of the title of our tsarist soldiers, and let those greedy Chinese pigs take a good look at it, so that they will always remember the last glory of our zĂ o......"
As the shells that whistled in mid-air like locusts exploded, Pryushenko's impassioned remarks were interrupted for a moment. Although Pryushenko was shaken, he soon became calm again, and his gaze outside the window also turned back to the panicked generals, and his hands, which had just frozen in mid-air, began to dance spasmodically again, as if he was not finished with fun. It's a pity that although he opened his mouth, he didn't have a chance to say anything more.
There was another shrill whistle, and after a loud bang, several large holes were blown open in the roof of the secret room of the mansion, and then a gable collapsed with a bang. When the scrambling guards pulled the commander out of the rubble, at first glance, Pryushenko looked like a blood gourd, covered in blood mixed with dirt.
Under the call of the guards around him, Pryushenko, who was in a coma, woke up a little, immediately pushed away the loyal guards, and jumped up from the ground. As he himself said not long ago, although he has experienced countless bullets and bullets, and has not left a single scar on his body, he has earned countless honors for the Tsar. The shell that fell into the secret room killed the generals under him in the secret room, but he not only escaped death, but if he was not stunned by the collapsed gable, it can be said that he was unscathed. And the blood stain that the guards worried about him was just the remnants of those men who left on him before they were loyal to the Tsar.
"Hmm......" Pryushenko stared at a pair of blood-red eyes, and his big mouth just wanted to shout something, but he didn't shout. He raised his hand and stretched out his awkward mouth, and actually took out a piece of minced meat that flew into his mouth at some point. All around, the terrible trumpets and shouts of killing from the Taiping Red Army had been earth-shattering, and General Pryushenko had no more time to think about those useless things, he threw down the tender piece of minced meat, swallowed and spat to suppress the violent churning in his stomach, and swished out the saber that His Majesty Tsar Nicholas I had personally awarded him, and shouted at the soldiers who gathered more and more around him, "Children, Tsar's warriors, the last moment has come, show your courage, For the honor of our tsar, forward! â
However, it was the warriors of the Teaching Brigade who really kept moving forward. As the Red Army officers and men from all sides got closer and closer, few of them could shoot, and these heroes on horseback once again showed their exquisite skills in foot combat. The guns at the flat end were like clouds, and the sabers erected were like forests, and the groups of Tsarist soldiers who were already frightened were chasing after them ran for their lives.
The last six or seven hundred remnants of the Tsarist army were surrounded by regiments on the training ground in the compound.
Pryushenko and Liu Mingyuan, the two opponents, finally met face to face.
"General, as a soldier, I can't help but appreciate your indomitable spirit." Liu Mingyuan looked at Pryushenko, who was still holding the saber in both hands, and smiled sheepishly, "However, for the lives of those soldiers behind you, I still advise you not to make this senseless resistance again." Because of this, I can give you one last chance to lay down your arms in exchange for their survival. â
"Impossible!" In the end, Pryushenko, although he tried his best to calm himself, could not control the rapid wheezing caused by running. He turned his head to look at the men behind him who were full of horror and confusion, and the muzzles of the guns were either soaring into the sky or towards the ground, and then at the young opponent opposite who seemed to be a victor, and there was a sense of anger in his heart, in addition to sadness.
"A soldier has the honor of a soldier, if the general still thinks that he is a noble soldier, then please general, you can also be like me, draw your saber, let us finally see, which of us is the final victor."
"I originally thought that Liu Mingyuan would definitely agree to Pryushenko's challenge, not only because Liu Mingyuan has a good kung fu, but also because all the generals who are from the teaching brigade have always 'no one in their eyes'. What's more, in the face of this old Mai Pryushenko, what kind of 'noble soldier' signboard is used to call him out.
But I didn't expect it. When Liu Mingyuan finished listening to Pryushenko's words after listening to the interpreter following him, he first scolded 'Kill your mother's dog's head, how can Lao Tzu have the leisure to play with you', followed by the sound of gunshots. I was paying close attention to his actions, and even then, I didn't even understand how his gun was pulled out all at once.
That shot hit Pryushenko's head right in. As he lowered his head and began to gently blow the wisps of smoke from the muzzle of the gun, I felt the ground tremble violently beneath my feet, caused by the chorus of thousands of officers and men of the Teaching Brigade. It's another heart-wrenching kill......
Later, when everything calmed down, I curiously asked Liu Mingyuan, why don't you have a fight with Pryushenko that is absolutely sure that he is the final victor? As soon as Liu Mingyuan heard my words, he was happy, and his eyes still showed a kind of juvenile naughtiness in his eyes, "I'm standing here now, but he has fallen, do you need anything else to prove me?" â
I quickly said that in fact, you misunderstood my question, and I meant that Pryushenko was proposing a duel with you, and overseas, a duel was a real battle of honor between knights.
As soon as he heard this, Liu Mingyuan smiled even more happily. 'I'm a soldier of the Celestial Empire, not a knight who has nothing to do. On the battlefield, what is needed is to destroy as many enemies as possible in the shortest amount of time. And as a member of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of the Celestial Empire, it is my highest honor to be able to make the enemies of the Celestial Empire on the other side crawl under my feet, so that all people are frightened, and they dare not move the slightest thought of trying to get involved in our Celestial Empire. As for his little Pryushenko, hehe, too small, too little'.
Liu Mingyuan's words reminded me for a long time. Yes, he didn't accept Pryushenko's challenge, he didn't take the glory of winning the head of the commander of Tsarist Russia with ease, but his name was engraved in the hearts of distant Tsarist Russia. At that time, I always thought that foreigners could be feared by the people of the government and the opposition here in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and if a powerful person like Liu Mingyuan also went to Tsarist Russia one day and galloped on their land, what would the Tsarist Russia look like? â
At this time, Zeng Guofan may have thought of the indecent name of "Zeng Shaved Head" that he was given by the people. From the perspective of simply daring to kill, although he was powerless at the beginning, he was definitely not much inferior to Liu Mingyuan, and he killed hundreds of people without blinking. However, Zeng Guofan now understands that at that time, he shaved the heads of ordinary people, and the more people he killed, the more sins he sins. Liu Mingyuan is different, in less than an hour, the teaching brigade has buried more than 2,000 invaders who once flaunted their might on the land of China, but Liu Mingyuan is the hero of the Red Celestial Empire and the patron saint of the people of the Celestial Empire.
