Chapter 20: The Fighter (2)

Cao Futian counted more than 700 dead and wounded on the first day after the day's attack, and their result was only the destruction of the first line of defense of the foreigners. According to his observations, the number of foreigners killed and wounded should be less than 100.

If he continued to fight like this for a few more days, his troops and horses would be dead and wounded.

The other boxer leaders who came with them also showed hesitation, so that they might be able to muster up the courage to give it a go. But in this kind of battle against the rain of bullets, they don't have the morale and ability. Seeing the embarrassed faces of these usually bullish guys in the tent, Cao Futian could still remain calm, but his profound Cao Degui really couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Don't you usually boast of being the first in the world?" Why did you become greedy for life and afraid of death when it came to the end? ”

Cao Degui is the first master of the Cao family, and his horizontal kung fu has reached the pinnacle, and during the day, he killed a few people in and out of the military array of foreign devils, and the blood-stained robes were all seen in the eyes. Now that such a strong man is holding down the hilt of his sword and staring coldly, these leaders only feel that the murderous aura of the other party permeates the entire big tent, they are like falling into an ice cave, and their bodies are cold, and none of them dares to refute it.

"Degui, Hugh is talking nonsense!" Cao Futian first reprimanded Cao Degui, and then comforted the others in the big tent, "The foreign devil's musket is sharp, and the cannon is fast and accurate, it is difficult for us to take advantage." But they are no more than a thousand, and we do have tens of thousands, and so many people have heaped them to death. ”

If it is useful to fight a war if there are many people, then what else do you fight, just pull people out and count their heads. Many people didn't agree with Cao Futian's words, but when they saw the murderous guy behind him, they still wisely closed their mouths.

Cao Futian has been dealing with these guys for more than ten years, how could he not know what they are thinking, but he is not too worried, and continued: "During the day, the foreign devil's foreign guns are too powerful, so we will attack at night." ”

Night Raid? That's a good idea. Everyone turned their heads to each other, and most of them agreed.

"Then each family will pick out your most elite good feelings, one more to cook, and the second to set off!"

Since they dared to come and surround the foreign devils in the station, these people were originally bold and heroic. The disgraced faces that were beaten by foreigners before did not suppress their ambitions. And over the years, who hasn't been bullied by foreign devils and those second devils?

So everyone responded, transferred their most elite good feelings, treated them with good wine and meat, and waited for the night to kill foreign devils.

After the leaders of the other departments dispersed, Cao Futian showed a tired look and whispered to Cao Degui behind him: "Did the people sent to the Black Dragon Society come back in the afternoon?" What does the Black Black Dragon King say? ”

Cao Degui looks arrogant in front of others, and only in front of his second uncle will he show a respectful appearance. Hearing the question, he also lowered his voice and said, "The third baby came back and said that it was the Black Dragon King himself, and the reply over there was: If we need it, they are willing to transfer their artillery team to help us." ”

Cao Futian was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then sneered a few times, "Hehe, transfer their artillery team over to help us?" The Black Dragon King is really generous! ”

"Second uncle," Cao Degui knew that the harmony between his family and the Black Dragon Society was not what it seemed, but he still persuaded: "The army of foreign devils is too strong, with the help of the Black Dragon Society's cannons, we will die a lot less." ”

"I naturally know that the Black Dragon Society's artillery team is powerful, but if we can win the battle by relying on them, then how can we gain a foothold in the Boxers in the future?" Cao Futian said sharply: "You don't know how many branches they have swallowed up in the Black Dragon Society. This time, you say, are they really so kind? Most of them are still trying to annex us! ”

Cao Degui hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to the ground and said, "The Black Dragon King also said that they can help contain our wounded, and I have already asked those seriously injured people to be sent to them. ”

"You!" Cao Futian stomped his feet, "You are confused!" The Black Dragon Society likes to use this kind of small favors to buy people's hearts, and our wound medicine is not prepared enough? ”

"We didn't expect it to be so tragic in advance, and we only prepared more than 100 wound medicines, but"

Although Cao Degui's later words were not spoken, the fact that there were heavy casualties did not need to be explained.

Cao Futian was silent again, and after a long time, he said in a tired voice: "Then send all the wounded to the Black Dragon Society." ”

"All?" Cao Degui didn't know why his second uncle suddenly changed his ism.

"The most important thing is to win." Cao Futian's eyes became firm again, "As long as you win, everything is easy to say." If you lose, you don't need to say anything. ”

Saying that, Cao Futian patted Cao Degui on the shoulder, "Success or failure depends on this night attack." ”

Regarding the various careful thoughts of the Boxers, although Lin Mengchu is not very clear, he can also guess that he is not far from ten. However, as the forerunner of the alliance said, "The trend of the world is mighty, and if you go with it, you will prosper, and if you go against it, you will die." "The maiden believes that she is the greatest and strongest tide in the world, and that those who follow her will prosper, and those who disobey her will surely perish.

It was already the middle of the night, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing during the night attack of the Boxers in the distance, the crisp gunfire of rifle fire, the explosion of cannon fire, and the neighing of war horses were all heard, making the people in the big tent on the mound poke their heads out one after another to watch the fire in the battle.

"What do you think? Is there any hope of success in this night attack of the Boxers? Lin Mengchu didn't need to look back to know that the young man was standing behind her, just like at any time in the past.

"It's useless," Chen Cheng's expression was also a little serious, and when others couldn't see it, he would occasionally let go of his guard and show a little real expression. "During the day, they're already desperate. Those brave warriors in the Boxers have been killed and wounded, and now they are just doing their best. ”

"Oh, what do you think?" The girl's voice sounded very flat, but there was an unconcealed enthusiasm in it, "Then, our time to play is probably coming soon!" ”
