Chapter 29: The Flames of War (9)

Wielding the knife, the sword light like a fright is like a shock, bringing up a blood flower. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Wen is a serious martial artist. He was a martial artist when he was a teenager, and then won the first place in the martial arts in front of the emperor. Although it is because his brother is a confidant of Su Shun, his own martial arts are definitely not to be underestimated. Since Su Shun was killed, he has been a man with his tail between his legs for a long time. Now that he was finally able to let go of the killing, it made him feel extremely happy both physically and mentally.

The six bullets in the revolver had long since been gone, and he put the pistol back into his waist and held the knife in both hands. Vertical slash, horizontal slash, each slash will inevitably bring a violent whistling sound.

For many nights when he couldn't sleep, he waited for his younger brother and sister to fall asleep and then got up quietly. In the courtyard where no one is around, looking up at the moon in the sky and sighing. The only thing that could comfort him was the sword in his hand

I dance the mountains and rivers are broken, and I am terrified!

has a good martial arts, but he can only sink into his subordinates. The long-standing resentment, once it exploded, made him like a mad tiger. Kill! Kill! Kill! Since the way of heaven is so unfair, why not kill a heaven and earth with the treasure sword in your hand?

He laughed wildly, roared, the killing intent boiled, and when his momentum rose to the peak, he suddenly shouted, and the bright sword roared out from the blade of the treasure knife, cutting the two foreign devils on the opposite side into two pieces. Smelly entrails flowed out of the crack and fell to the ground. This terrifying scene makes people feel numb when they see it.

Bai Wen laughed, looking left and right, but found that the foreign devil had already lost the cannon and retreated all the way. A few of his companions tried to chase after him, but they were knocked down by a volley of guns from foreigners. So everyone quickly cleaned up the battlefield and dragged the field gun back and retreated.

Such skirmishes were constantly taking place in the city. A large number of troops on both sides were filled into the bottomless pit of street fighting, and an infantry regiment would be crippled in two days after being thrown into it. The casualties on the Chinese side were not much less than those on the other side, but for the Black Dragon Society, the dead and wounded civilians and people in the rivers and lakes were equivalent to bearing the damage for them. In this way, they have earned it.

Wadsey no longer thinks about casualties now, there are already so many casualties in front of him, no matter what, he will capture the city of Beijing, this is a matter related to his personal and the face of the German Empire, and he must not give up! Therefore, after the officers at the front line counted the casualties, he didn't even look at it, but resolutely ordered to fill in the troops behind.

"But," said Major General Arthur, "if we draw troops like this, our rear will be empty." ”

"Major General!" Wadsey said sternly: "Remember who you are!" You are a major general of the coalition forces, not a mud leg on the other side! All you have to do is carry out the command! ”

"I reserve my opinion!" Arthur is not afraid of this German, but he just won a Franco-Prussian war, what is there to do? In terms of the scene and scale of the war, what war in Europe could have been compared to the scene of the Civil War? That's the big scene of millions of people, not the petty fights of the scrap people in Europe.

"Major General," Wadsey saw that he couldn't suppress the Yankee, so he softened his tone and said, "The enemy's elite troops are all in this city, and now their soldiers, weapons and ammunition are about to run out, and this is a good time for us to defeat them in one go." If we don't seize this opportunity, when they come to their senses, we will be in the same bitter battle as before. ”

"Your Excellency," Arthur shrugged, "but the lads are tired. This city is so big, there is no way we can take it with so many troops at hand. I suggest that we wait until the Russian forces in the northeast have joined us before attacking together. ”

The proposal was very much to the detriment of Wadsey. If he could really join forces with the Russian army outside the Guan, the number of troops in his hands would skyrocket to nearly 300,000. With such a large army, it is not impossible to destroy the country, let alone occupy a city of Beijing.

Moreover, it was in the interests of the German Empire to draw the attention of the Russians to the Far East. Although in this way, the French, the British and the Japanese will jump to their feet, but what does it matter to him? He will be rewarded by the emperor for this, and he will be cheered by the people at home and those capitalists, with which the reaction of other countries can be completely ignored.

So, he said to Arthur, "This is a good idea of yours, I'll think about it." ”

Arthur laughed, he knew that Wadsey had agreed to say this, but he just couldn't put it down. After he went out, His Excellency the Lieutenant General agreed after pretending to think about it for a while.

After waiting for Arthur to leave, Wadsey picked up the casualty statistics that he had left aside, glanced at them nonchalantly, and then he jumped in surprise.

"How could there be such a large number of casualties?" Wadsey glared and asked, "Did you add two more zeros to the back?" ”

"No, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, this is the exact number of casualties." A second lieutenant replied calmly.

"...........", Wadsey glared at the second lieutenant for a long time, and finally said stupidly: "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!"

Wadsey felt that he had not heard a single piece of good news since he had come to the Far East. There were routs everywhere, casualties, and from time to time you could hear that a certain unit was ambushed by the enemy or something. Now that it is not easy to break through the city of Beijing, who knew that there would be such a big casualty in the city.

He walked out of the headquarters in a sullen manner, trying to catch his breath. Then, he felt a chill on his face. When I looked up, I saw snowflakes falling in the sky.

"Ah, it's snowing!" He sighed like this, and then was shocked, "It's snowing? ”

On the railway line, in the city of Beijing, in various fighting or calm places, countless people raised their necks at this moment, looked at the sky, and watched the heavy snow fall from the sky, dyeing the earth white.

"It's really snowing." Chen Cheng held the girl's little hand, only to feel that the palm was soft and tender, which made his heart flutter.

"Well, it's finally snowing!" Lin Mengchu smiled, but the whole person was murderous, "From Tianjin to Beijing, those foreigners should have played enough." Now, too, it's time for us to fight back. ”

"Oh, then I wish the martial arts prosperity!"

"Hmph, why do you say something Japanese?" The girl said dissatisfiedly: "I can obviously say something else." ”

"If there's something that works, use it, it's nothing, right? Broad-minded and tolerant of everything, this is the bearing of a strong man. ”

“........ If what you say is reasonable, then I wish us prosperity in martial arts! ”
