Chapter 250: Escape
For Zhao Guanhou, this half hour can be said to be the most difficult half hour since he entered the army. The cannonballs fell beside the pen "Fun" www.biquge.info, and the bullets were as dense as splashing water, and the temporary fortifications that had been built with great difficulty were basically destroyed.
Fortunately, the artillery pushed by Tieler's troops to the city was light artillery, which could not fire grenades and shrapnels, and the hit rate was not high, but even so, it caused great trouble to the Jin soldiers. Tieler's army carried out a savage charge with a numerical superiority, almost regardless of casualties, and insisted on eating this position.
The recruits in the army have never experienced this kind of battle, and there are signs of collapse several times, if it were not for the fact that they knew that they had no way out, I am afraid that they would have fled by this time. Zhao Guanhou himself is not a person who is good at commanding large corps battles, but in the mastery of small troops, he can command extremely flexibly, and with a hundred shots and a hundred shots, he timely eliminated Tiele's commander and excellent gunners, and also made great contributions to the troops to maintain the front.
After a few rounds of gunfire, Tieler's infantry provoked a white-knuckle battle, but their infantry and artillery coordination was not good. When one of the most threatening infantry attacks was launched, a volley of artillery fire came from the head of Tieler, with the result that more than two-thirds of the shells fell on Tieler's own troops. This round of artillery fire caused great casualties and also shook the morale of the Tiele army, so that the attack ended without a hitch.
Next, halfway through the next attack of the Tiele people, another unit carrying the Sun Banner suddenly joined, although these Fusang troops were shorter than the Tiele soldiers, but they moved quickly and were not inferior in combat effectiveness. The breakthrough from the rear obviously disrupted the deployment of the Tiele people, and before the Tiele soldiers could react, the Fusang soldiers began to shoot indiscriminately.
Rifles, bayonets, and even shelling. Zhao Guanhou believes that this is not a misconduct, but intentional, in the eyes of the Fusang people, it is obvious that Tiele is the enemy. After a ferocious attack, the Tiele troops had already suffered heavy casualties, and before these Tiele people could counterattack, more Fusang troops entered, so that the Tiele soldiers did not dare to act rashly.
Fuso's Sun Banner replaced the Double Eagle Flag, and then the order of Marshal Wadsey was announced, prohibiting any further attacks on the Armed Forces Academy, and requesting the concentration of all forces to solve the Jin reinforcements in Hexi.
The Prussian minister was killed, and the situation was like that of the bitter lord, and Wadsey was old and noble, and was promoted as commander-in-chief by the various countries, and his majesty was already revealed as soon as his ship arrived at the gate of Tianjin. Although Prussia did not send many troops, the Fuso Hiroshima Division was its minions, which was enough to deter Tieler.
Although Tiele mobilized the largest number of troops in this dispatch, the main battlefield was outside the Kansai, and only about 8,000 troops entered the Kannai to fight, and the Hiroshima Division had 10,000 troops, making it the party with the largest number of troops in the Kannai among all countries. There are still troops that can be mobilized at any time in the future, and with the commander of Wadsy as the name, if they do something to Tiele, the Tiele troops will not take any advantage.
The Fusang officer who led the team was an adjutant, with an rank above the Tiele officer, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, and he roughly ordered, "From now on, no more acts of war will be allowed here, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation to the Fusang Empire, and our army has the right to take decisive measures and sanction them!" ”
From the attitude, it can be seen that the Tiele soldiers were not satisfied with this result, and some soldiers raised their bayonets and stared at them, as if they were ready to fight, but the Fusang army did not flinch, and also invited them with white blades, ready to fight at any time. The bayonet touched lightly in two strokes, and the signs of misfire were extremely obvious.
But no matter how brave Tie Lebing is, he must also admit the fact that his side is actually in a very disadvantageous situation. Plotted from behind by the Fuso army, the troops were divided and surrounded, and once they fought, there was no life or death. Moreover, in the attack, they lost too many company and platoon cadres, resulting in the lack of effective command of the troops, scattered sand, and no one in charge.
Finally, one of the Tiele officers bowed his head, followed by a second, then a third.
At this time, dozens of foreign soldiers wearing various military uniforms and holding high the flags of various countries walked in from outside, led by a tall white man, who greeted the adjutant who led the troops in Fusang, and then asked in Prussian: "Your Excellency Zhao Guanhou is not here?" Excuse me, who is Your Excellency Zhao Guanhou, I am here to assist you at the invitation of Mrs. Jensen. ”
Zhao Guanhou didn't expect that things would change like this, and the Fusang Army would come to help him, and when he heard Ryanstein's speech, he said in his heart: This is probably the power that Jensen exerted in the concession.
He said yes, and walked out from behind the position, and Reinstein walked over and gave him a military salute, "Hello, I am Earl Reinstein, and I have been invited by Mrs. Jenson to come to your rescue." I wish you good health. Ed mentioned your name to me, and I know that you are his most valued student and best friend. From what I've seen, Ed is right, you do play well, or that few people can do it better than you. ”
Ryan Stein looked at the ground, the Tiele army had not had time to contain the corpses, and there were a large number of dead bodies of Tiele soldiers on the ground, although after the position, the dead bodies of the golden soldiers may be more, but at the moment, the golden generals who can fight with foreign soldiers without losing are already rare.
"These gray animals are not very good at fighting, but they are far more numerous than you, and your ability to hold out until now is enough to prove that you are a good soldier. Now, we can get out of here and leave everything here to the Fuso people to deal with, and I believe they can handle it. ”
Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but this is the land of our Dajin, and it is also a martial arts academy, if you give it to others, where is the martial arts festival?" There are thousands of refugees here, and their safety must also be guaranteed for humanitarian reasons. But I don't feel at ease with Fuso or Tiele, so I won't give this place to any country. The management of the Armed Forces Academy should be in our hands, not transferred to others. ”
Ryanstein didn't expect him to be so persistent, and was stunned for a moment, "I really didn't take into account this situation, and I actually met the Jinguo officer who refused to leave the dangerous situation for the first time." I must say that I have a little interest in Your Excellency. I'm a mercenary and don't get involved in your politics, so now you can come with me to meet Tieler's officers and discuss specific issues. In the meantime, the safety of this place will be ensured by my mercenary group. ”
Ryanstein's subordinates were not too many, but he was very familiar with the Fuso adjutant, and after a few words of questioning, the Fuso army immediately expressed his willingness to participate in maintaining order. Zhao Guanhou has no trust in the Fusang Army's discipline, but in the current balance of power, there is no need for the Fusang Army to deceive him, and his statement at this time can naturally be believed.
He nodded, the work of treating the wounded and burying the dead bodies could be handled by Wang Song and Gu Shaobai, while he himself followed a mercenary to the barracks outside. Banxi was already drinking vodka with a wine glass at this time, and stood in front of Andrei with the posture of a victor.
Jensen's demeanor was better than his, and he was still very polite, without losing the dignity of an upper-class lady, but this attitude was as unacceptable in Andre's eyes as a slap in his face.
Seeing Zhao Guanhou coming in covered in blood, Jensen's expression tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward and took a step, but Banxi had already walked up at this time, bowed to Zhao Guanhou and said, "Zhao Jun, we meet again." Since I hugged the calf and said goodbye, I miss Zhao Jun very much, and see you again today, this must be the arrangement of the gods. Are you injured? If you have any injuries, I will immediately arrange for the best doctors in the empire to treat you, and I guarantee that your injuries will heal in the shortest possible time. ”
Zhao Guanhou glanced at him a few times and smiled: "Mr. Banxi? This surprised me, aren't you a banker, why are you mixed with the army now? ”
"There is no way, the empire needs manpower, every man of appropriate age has the obligation to be drafted, and I was also pulled into the army by the War Department with a damn postcard. Fortunately, I have some old friends in the army, so I don't have to work hard to stand guard, I can still do an idle job, and the business of the bank can also be carried out. Mrs. Jenson's Warby Bank and I will have a greater cooperation in the future, and this is what we have agreed to. ”
"Thank you for your concern, my body is very good, and the bullets of the Tiele Empire did not hurt me in the slightest. Most of the blood on his body came from the Tiele soldiers, and a small amount from my comrades. If it weren't for the arrival of your country's army, I think the Tiele troops would have bled dry. ”
He looked at Jensen again, "Madame Jensen, are you here too?" This is the battlefield, and as a lady, you should stay as far away from this dangerous place as possible, and it is too unfriendly to women here. ”
Jensen also understood that it was not good to show an intimate relationship with Zhao Guanhou at this time, so he restrained his mood at the moment and smiled slightly, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm used to it during this time, I've experienced a lot of battlefields, believe me, I can handle it." ”
Andre saw the intimate conversation of several people, and felt even more angry, especially when he saw Jensen and Zhao Guanhou frowning, although there was no very intimate performance, but of course Andre, who was old in love, could see that this was a performance between male and female couples. He glared at Zhao Guanhou and roared in half-baked Chinese
"Zhao Guanhou? Are you the one who harbored the Flying Tigers and attacked Tiele? Trust me, you're going to pay for your stupidity, and I'm not going to let it be left at that. ”
Zhao Guanhou knew Tieler's epaulettes, glanced at them, and identified the other party's rank, and responded with a smile in Tieler's language, "Your Excellency, I think your accusation is groundless. The Martial Arts Academy is the territory of my Dajin, and the people of Dajin have the right to take refuge in it. In particular, the military discipline of your country's army has always been corrupt, and there are many lawbreakers who harm innocents. China's imperial court also has an attitude of arresting boxers, and in Shandong, I personally killed Zhao Laozhu, the leader of the boxers. If there is a remnant of bandits in the academy, I will behead him as soon as possible. However, without any evidence that there are boxers in our school, your attack is wanton inflicting harm on innocent people. ”
Andre had never met Zhao Guanhou, so he naturally didn't know that he had an amazing level of foreign languages, so he only thought he was a member of the Western-style school. In particular, Zhang Tong is completely pro-Tiele diplomatically, and many of his subordinates can speak Tieler, which is not surprising, and sneered at the moment: "Now our two countries are at war. It was your Empress Dowager who took the initiative to provoke the war, and from the moment she issued the war edict, the subjects of your kingdom must have the consciousness to bear the wrath of His Majesty the Great Emperor. ”
"If the anger of your Emperor is about harming innocent civilians, I can only say that your country is so barbaric that it has insulted all the civilized nations of the earth. War also has its rules, and inflicting harm on innocent civilians is clearly contrary to the rules of war, and only robbers would commit such acts. ”
"Your country, in Dongjiaomin Lane, is the slaughter of diplomats and innocent people!"
Zhao Guanhou was also generous, "That's right, so that army should be punished, and these people have nothing to do with the incident." If you think that you can only show your prestige by waging war against the people, then I will choose to fight you to the end, and see who among us will shed his own blood first. ”
Banxi smiled at this time, "Your Excellency Andrei, please calm down, our military operations should obey the orders of the coalition command, and we cannot act without authorization, I think, we need to meet with Marshal Wadsey before we can decide the specific course of the next step." Zhao Jun, please also move and go to meet Marshal Wadsey, if you want to protect the people of Jinmen, it is undoubtedly more effective to communicate with His Excellency the Marshal. ”
Jensen winked at Zhao Guanhou, hinting at him to agree, and at the same time said, "I am also going to meet His Excellency Wadsey, there are still many issues to discuss between us, Lord Zhao, I think we can go together." But until then, you need to change your clothes and dress yourself decently, which is polite to the marshal. ”
The military discipline of the Fuso army was much stronger than that of Tiele, and the integration of troops was also fast, and the 8,000 men of Tiele looted in the city, while the Fuso army could be reorganized into an army and maintain the operation of large combat units. Therefore, in the Martial Arts Academy, the Fusang Army has the absolute upper hand, and even Andre has no way to refuse to meet Wadsey in the case of disadvantage.
Jensen first took Zhao Guanhou to the river, got into a small boat, and waited until the boat anchored together, and there was no one around, Jensen threw himself into Zhao Guanhou's arms regardless of it, and then there was a burst of heat.
"God, you know, I'm scared to death. Tsumon is now a hell, and human life is as fragile as autumn leaves. I'm really scared...... Very scared. ”
"Well, don't be afraid, dear, you see, am I not very healthy? But I'm covered in blood, and if you're so close to me, your clothes will get dirty. ”
Jenson smiled: "It's okay, we can take a shower together, change clothes together, we can do a lot of things at this time...... There is also a big business that can be talked about slowly. (To be continued.) )
