Chapter 30: The Flames of War (End)
The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The heavy snow began to fall in the evening and continued throughout the night. At first, it was just a piece of snow, but later, it was a goose-feather snow that fell into the world.
In this snowy night, Lin Mengchu and Chen Cheng acted separately. Chen Cheng was responsible for preparing the materials, equipment, and deployment of personnel and horses for the attack. As for His Excellency the Black Dragon King, he took his men and horses and went straight to Dong Fuxiang's Chinese army tent.
said that it was the big tent of the Chinese army, but it was not really a military camp. Dong Fuxiang's Gan army did not have its own special garrison like the Black Dragon Society, but was scattered among the houses and temples in various places. When Lin Mengchu took Sun Yunguan, Wang Qi and others in, Dong Fuxiang was eating and drinking while listening to the play. Seeing the girl and the others coming in, he waved his hand to let the singers go down, and said, "Ahhh ”
Lin Mengchu looked left and right, and didn't sit down, just stood and said, "It's starting to snow." ”
"Huh?" I know it's snowing, it's snowing outside, but what does it have to do with me?
"Get ready to attack!"
"Sortie?" Dong Fuxiang is no longer young, and the courage and ambition of his youth seem to have been exhausted, "I am afraid that the sons and daughters are reluctant to fight on this snowy day." ”
"Is this your final answer?"
The girl's voice was very calm, but on Dong Fuxiang's back, cold sweat broke out all of a sudden. He laughed dryly twice and said, "It's not impossible to attack, it's just that how to fight?" The foreigners built so many trenches outside the city. And now aren't foreigners coming in? Our people ..........."
"You don't need to go out of the city to attack, as long as you fight back inside the city." Lin Mengchu said to Dong Fuxiang, who was restless: "Early tomorrow morning." When the sun first comes out, you will fight back. ”
"This ....." Dong Fuxiang hesitated for a moment, and then saw that the Black Dragon King seemed to have a bad face, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, attack tomorrow morning." ”
"Very good," the girl gave him another sweet jujube after subduing Dong Fuxiang with force, "King Duanjun has already ordered, after counterattacking tomorrow, all the seizures will be counted as your spoils." ”
"Really?" Dong Fuxiang suddenly stood excited. This capital is the best place, and I don't know how many rich people there are. The two words of the Black Spirit King just now undoubtedly allowed them to let go and grab them. If it were theirs to snatch it back, it would be a great fortune. Of course, in the process, it is inevitable that some people and officials will suffer losses of their property. Well, it must have been those foreign devils who did it.
"As long as the place you take back, it will be counted as your defense area."
Since he said so, Dong Fuxiang is also waiting to get rich.
The sky was snowy, and there was nothing to say all night. The next day, as soon as the sun appeared at one end of the horizon, the city was filled with the rumbling of cannons. For several days in a row, it was the artillery of the coalition side that roared, while the artillery of the Black Dragon Society only fired a few shots at the critical moment. Therefore, from Lieutenant General Wadsey to those junior officers and even ordinary soldiers, they all thought that the enemy was running out of shells.
However, today, after the order to shoot all the shells out of the streets, the artillerymen, who had been holding back for a long time, threw off their arms and let go of their work. The dense artillery fire reflected the red sky, and the sound of artillery did not stop for a moment.
Lieutenant General Wadsey was awakened early in the morning by the sound of artillery, and this time he did not make the same mistake as last time. Judging by the direction of the cannonade, he came to the conclusion that it was not his own artillery that was firing, and then the middle-aged German man shrugged his shoulders. "It's a pity that the timing of their cannon firing is a little too late. Now it's snowing, and they can't realize even if they have any ideas. ”
The officers on the side all praised loudly: "Sure enough, it is worthy of Your Excellency the Lieutenant General, and you can see thousands of miles." ”
"Don't say that," Wadsi said, waving his hand, "How's the cold material you prepared?" If there are not enough supplies, the morale of the soldiers will be greatly affected. ”
"Someone has been sent to report to the back, presumably the supplies will be delivered soon."
"Well, then it's good to defend the position well in the past two days, and when the Russian troops outside the gate come, we will wipe out all these yellow-skinned monkeys!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" The officers replied loudly.
"Boom!" The sound of the explosion sounded again, only this time in the direction of the west.
"What's going on?" Wadsey frowned, "Could it be that the ammunition is not well stocked up and blew itself up?" ”
The officers in the command looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. However, the explosions outside became more and more intense, and the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing continued to ring. This does not look like an accident caused by poor ammunition reserves.
Waldsea took a few quick steps, rushed out of the headquarters, and stood high above to look west. I saw countless figures attacking the coalition positions outside the city. At some distances, thousands of cavalry can also be seen making a detour.
Wadsey was shocked and exclaimed: "How come the enemy still has so many troops? Did they draw out all the troops from the city? ”
But this is obviously impossible, and the artillery in the city is fighting fiercely. The infantry who rushed out from all fronts were also attacking vigorously, and he looked left and right, and the Russian officers around him were all panicked.
Wadsey shouted, "We have been deceived! ”
"Scammed?" The ignorant officer asked, "How did we get deceived?" ”
"Isn't that obvious?" Wadsey shouted: "The Qing people obviously have so many troops, but they pretend that their troops are not strong, and deliberately let us attack the city of Beijing, just to destroy us here!" ”
"Ahh The officer who had questioned him earlier was shocked, "Is this the story of Napoleon's attack on Russia?" ”
"Definitely!" Wadsey said incoherently: "Damn the Qing, damn the Russians!" ”
"Well, the Qing people deserve to die, but what does this have to do with the Russians?"
"Why is it okay?" Wadsey exclaimed, "If it weren't for them, the army was used to grab territory in the northeast, how would we be in the situation we are in?" ”
This......... Previously, Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries jointly opposed the re-entry of the Russian army. But looking at Wadsey's angry appearance, no one was interested in correcting his mistakes. And now there is only one key problem.
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
What to do? Wadsey's eyes widened, how do I know what to do?
