Chapter 249: The First Battle of Tiele (3)

Although muskets can now be fired in the rain, heavy rains still seriously affect vision and greatly hinder shooting, and armies of all countries try to avoid fighting in the rain. The momentum of the charge of the Tiele army was curbed www.biquge.info and the banner was controlled by the Jin soldiers, which greatly affected the morale of the Tiele army, and could only retreat.

It was only at this time that they realized that they had lost all their company-level commanders, and that the platoon-level commanders had also suffered heavy casualties, and that the troops had suffered huge casualties, and that they had to be reorganized before they could continue the battle.

As the defending side, the Jin soldiers actually suffered more casualties than the attacking side, and more than one-third of the student soldiers were injured.

Zhao Guanhou was not injured, he comforted Gu Shaobai and Wang Song, and saw that both of them were fine, so he was relieved. Seeing Jiang Fengzhi swaying in the rain, she hurriedly took an oilcloth and put it on her head.

"You've just been seriously injured and can't get drenched in the rain, so hurry back. Besides, foreigners have guns, no matter how powerful your slingshot is, it can't resist foreign guns, don't come out to die. ”

He helped Jiang Fengzhi into the room, and a woman came over with hot water, but Jiang Fengzhi pushed the water in front of Zhao Guanhou, "You drink it first." ”

"It doesn't matter to me, you're the wounded number."

"No...... You matter more than I do. Jiang Fengzhi's expression was extremely firm, "You are the backbone of this place, so many people are counting on you to be safe, I can die, and you can't fall." ”

In the sky, another explosion thundered sounded, Jiang Fengzhi looked up at the window, "As soon as the rain stops, the foreigners should attack again, can you hold it?" ”

"It's hard to say, how long can I keep it." Zhao Guanhou did not hide it from her, "We have too few soldiers, and most of them lack combat experience, so they can't compare to Tiele soldiers." Moreover, there are so many Tiele soldiers in the city that we can transfer reinforcements everywhere, but we have few soldiers, so we can only hold on. He smiled bitterly: "It's better than time, if the reinforcements come early, then there will be help, otherwise, it will be very troublesome." But don't be afraid, when the time comes, I will also lead you to break through and will not let you be hurt. I won't stay with the funeral either. ”

Jiang Fengzhi was silent, and said after a while: "What if...... If you hadn't come to me, if you hadn't come to save me, you wouldn't be in this danger, would you? You have a lot of ability, even if you want to run now, you can run away, but with me, it's not easy to run. ”

"You can't say that, I'm the leader here, and if I run away now, it's over here if I don't fight myself. Although I have no responsibility to defend the land and die in the city, since everyone looks up to me and makes me a commander, I have to be right to them. ”

Zhao Guanhou paused, "Besides, many people died at their hands, and I also have to avenge the deceased, such as Master and his old man." Killing more Tiele people can be regarded as a breath of relief for his old man. Although we suffered heavy casualties, the Tiele people were not much better. Now they are hurrying to repair the fortifications, and when the Tiele people come again, they will be comfortable. ”

Jiang Fengzhi took the initiative to grab Zhao Guanhou's hand this time, and leaned his head up, "Guanhou, my father is gone, Senior Brother Ding...... Also went. There are other brothers and sisters. There used to be so many acquaintances, and it's almost all over, and all I have left now is you. You...... You have to live, and if you have another good one, I don't know what to do......"

"Don't be stupid, you still have Hanzhi."

"I ...... I'm sorry sister. Jiang Fengzhi's face was a little red, I don't know if it was shy, or if she had a fever after being drenched in the rain "I robbed her man, it's not good for me, she ...... Will she still recognize me as a sister? ”

"Of course I admit it, you two good sisters, how can she be willing to deny you. Han Zhi may not know about our affairs, think about it, when you go to Shandong, she still wants you to go with me. Don't think about it, no matter how many foreigners come, I will find a way to block in front of you. After this hurdle, we will live a good life in the future. I will marry you, let you and Hanzhi continue to be sisters, save each other from thinking about each other, and we will live for a lifetime in the future, so that you will never be afraid again. ”

The hands of the two were tightly held together, Jiang Fengzhi's heart gradually had a reliance, after a series of drastic changes, she just wanted to firmly guard the man in front of her and beg him not to leave her again. Anyway, he has seen everything on his body, so what can he do if he doesn't marry him? As for the name or something, I don't care.

After more than forty minutes of rain, there was a small trend, and Zhao Guanhou kissed Jiang Fengzhi on the face, "You stay well, don't move around, in case the wound breaks again, it will be very troublesome." I went outside to watch, and when the foreigners came again, I would kill a few more of their officers. ”

His marksmanship with Mini's rifle can play the role of a sniper, but the rank of the officers who launched the attack is not too high, and killing a few will not have a shock effect, otherwise, I am afraid that the camp will be bombed a long time ago. These refugees also knew that the situation was critical, and in the face of heavy rains, they built two more breastwork walls, as well as several rows of fences, and built a group of improvised fortifications. Although this kind of fortification could not last long in the face of the artillery fire of the Tiele people, it was enough for them to gnaw for a while.

The remaining young men of the refugees were added to the ranks, they were untrained and not very reliable in combat, but they also taught them how to use guns with their time. Now there is a person who catches a person, no matter who it is, as long as it is a fighting force.

Zhao Guanhou looked at everyone, "Don't panic, everyone, foreigners are not less dead than us, everyone is enough today." If they come again, we will continue to fight, they are not three-headed and six-armed, as long as we grit our teeth, we can fight them. When the foreigners are repulsed, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver. ”

He gave a reward, which lifted people's hearts, but he didn't really have much confidence in the battle that followed. If you really can't stand it, you can only break through with Jiang Fengzhi, and as for the others, let him go.

The three offensive companies were regrouped to form the combat effectiveness of a reinforced company, and at the same time three artillery pieces were strengthened. The situation in Jinmen has tended to calm down, and the coalition forces have begun to advance to the area around Hexiwu, and the officers and troops who have come to seize Jinmen are preparing for battle. Lieutenant General Alikseev, the commander of Tieler, heard that it was unfavorable to attack the school, so he specially sent a cavalry commander of the Guards Army, Andrei, to sit in the town and also supervise the battle.

This Colonel Andrei was a nobleman, who had served in the Guards all his life and was constantly promoted as he grew older, he was a nobleman in the true sense of the word, a nobleman who was completely different from a company commander with military merits. The bright military uniforms on his body, as well as the bright copper buttons and epaulettes, are completely different from those soldiers who are covered in mud and water, and his demeanor also has the arrogance unique to nobles.

"Gentlemen, Your Excellency Lieutenant General is very dissatisfied with your attack. It was so stupid to stop the offensive because it was raining. As warriors of the Empire, you should have the ability to launch an attack in any bad weather, if you do not have this ability and the excellent quality of hard-working, how can you serve His Majesty the Emperor? We need to prove our strength in the Far East, and only by beating these backward barbarians can we move on to the next step. Forget it, you don't understand this, now you just need to understand a little, I want this castle, I want the silver in it, and the most beautiful woman. And the time I'm giving you is: two hours. ”

He took out the gold watch and opened the lid of the watch, "Now, the time begins." If you don't want to be transferred to Siberia to build a railway, then from now on, give me an attack! In addition, the troops responsible for prevention can be withdrawn and participate in the offensive. I don't think there is any need for a group of Fuso monkeys to be wary, even if they know that we are attacking, what can they do? Do they dare to offend His Majesty the great Emperor Tiele and his invincible troops? ”

Several company commanders lowered their heads helplessly, and according to the nobleman's orders, they reorganized their troops, and attacked Tucheng again with a reinforced company as the vanguard. At the same time, the cannon was raised on the head of the earthen city, and the cannon was set up from above, and it bombarded downward.

However, just as Tieler's troops were dispatched, a force of no more than two hundred men in a variety of uniforms began to land in a few small boats. The members of these units vary in age, but most of them are over 25 years old, and the oldest is in his 40s. The leader was a white man in his thirties, blond and blue-eyed, tall and wearing a half-new military uniform, with some gold threads falling off, but still working hard to mend it, and his beard was repaired very neatly.

Beside him was a capable, white European woman in a hunting suit, with a rifle on her shoulder, looking back to inspect the troops. "Reinstein, you're saying that with just these people, you can save the people I'm trying to save?"

The tall white man nodded at the woman, "Lady Jenson, please trust my credibility, I and my mercenary group can accomplish any difficult mission in the world." The premise is that the remuneration is reciprocal. You pay us five thousand pounds, and I'll guarantee you that you'll get people out, and that's our honor. ”

He shouted behind him, "You drunkards, beggars, bastards, prodigals! Start now, organize the queue, prepare, attack! ”

The hands of the gold watch moved slowly, and time passed minute by minute, and Andrei did not go to the battlefield, he was a nobleman and did not need to be on the front line. Besides, the dirty mud would stain his brand-new riding boots, and he would have to wait until the war was over to receive them.

In front of him, there was a hardwood Eight Immortals snatched from the Governor's Yamen, with a glass of vodka and a few pieces of candy on it.

He looked at the watch hands and sneered, "A bunch of stupid slaves, it's been half an hour, why haven't you been able to give me the castle yet!" How long am I going to put up with the stupidity of these fools, and they can't even do this little thing? Perhaps, I should impose sanctions on some people to make these slaves understand what a terrible thing it is to anger a nobleman. ”

He muttered to himself, grabbed a piece of candy and just put it in his mouth, when suddenly there was a rush of chaotic footsteps, the shouting of guards, and the sound of bayonets clashing.

Andrei was shocked, he never thought that he would be touched by the command. After all, the resistance of the Jin Bingcheng system has disappeared, and some stragglers and the remnants of the Flying Tiger Regiment have also been searched and killed by the coalition forces of various countries, and it is unlikely that they will still come to attack him. He was near the headquarters, but a platoon was arranged, how could someone rush over.

As soon as he stood up, put his hand on the handle of the gun, and before he could shoot the gun, the tent had been lifted, and a short and sturdy Oriental man had already walked in from the outside.

The man was dressed in a suit and glasses, and looked like a businessman, but Andrei knew that this was a real poisonous snake that could bite a person's life with just one bite. He raised an eyebrow

"Banxi, what are you doing in my defense area?"

"Hello Colonel Andrei, drinking vodka by yourself? This is a bit of a disappointment to old friends, there is alcohol, you should drink with friends, right? I'm here today to bring you another guest. ”

The tent door was lifted again, and Jenson walked in from the outside, and Andre's eyes lit up, he had only recently learned of the existence of this foreign widow. The expeditions of various countries to the Jin country, the military supply is insufficient, it is she who has raised turnover in many ways and helped countries a lot, and Tiele also inherited a lot of favors from her. Although its munitions sell for a very high price, they are better than not being able to buy them. Especially this widow is beautiful and rich, and AndrΓ© is planning to pursue her to gain both personal and wealth.

He didn't understand why this Fuso man was so kind, but he still stood up and saluted, "Beautiful lady, it's really my honor to have you here." In fact, I'd like to invite you to come and watch the hunting of our Tiele Empire. As long as you follow me to the battlefield now, you can see the Iron Leg, exterminating the barbarians. ”

Jensen shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Excellency." I came today to rescue our important partner of Huabi & Co., and I am also one of my partners, Mr. Zhao Guanhou. He is in the military academy where you are attacking, and if anything happens to him, I think it will cause immeasurable losses to the exchanges between our two sides, and I hope that your Excellency will immediately give the order to stop the battle. ”

Andrei shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid this can't be done." Our Tiele warriors are about to take the entire castle in their hands, and at this time, no one can stop......"

Banxi smiled, "Your Excellency Andrei, I think this is too early to say, our army of Fusang has already entered Tucheng to mediate, I think, the soldiers of your country will definitely follow our persuasion, stop the offensive operation, and avoid accidental injury." Trust our soldiers, they are very good at convincing. ”

Andrei's face turned ugly, "Banxi-kun, do you mean that the soldiers of Fusang attacked the rear of our army?" ”

"No, Your Excellency Andrei, don't get excited, I mean, the soldiers of Fuso, obey the orders of the Supreme Commander of the Coalition Forces, Field Marshal Wadsey, to stop this battle, and the military operations of the Coalition Forces should obey the orders of Marshal Wadsey, and Lieutenant General Alikseev of your country agrees with this, so I think that our soldiers are only working for peace."
