Wang Feng secretly said that it was a pity, and lost a dissatisfied look, Ding Daquan smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Hong Xuanjiao's face also turned crimson for a moment, and she immediately sat up straight, followed by a cold snort like a weak heart: "Wu Naizhao must be cheating, he must use a grain truck to lure our army to attack, and then set up an ambush in the middle of the road!" ”

Wang Feng nodded: "At this time, any action of the Qing army must explore the purpose behind him, Ding Daquan, call all the brigade commanders to a meeting, and bring a map!" ”

"Yes!" Ding Daquan turned around and left!

Soon, the five brigade commanders under Wang Feng and the two female brigade commanders under Hong Xuanjiao rushed over one after another, Wang Feng spread the map on the ground, and Ding Daquan briefly introduced the situation.

Ding Daquan arched his hand to the surroundings: "The Qing army has a total of 100 canopies, each car is pulled by two horses, with a coachman, judging from the ruts, it should be fully loaded, and there are 500 Xiangyong escorts, when the brothers found out, they just came out of the east gate of Taicang!" ”

After a while, a female brigade commander named Zhou Xiaoying took over and said: "Commander, commander, please see, Jiading County is one and a half miles south of the west of Baoshan County, and Taicang Prefecture is about forty-five miles northwest of Jiading County, although it is a little farther from Kunshan County to Jiading County, there are sixty miles, but there is a tributary of the Suzhou River between Taicang and Jiading, which must be supplemented by boats to cross the grain carts, why is the Qing army not troublesome, is it just to save these twenty miles?" ”

Hong Xuanjiao's pretty face showed a look of approval, obviously proud that his subordinates could put forward such profound insights!

As if encouraged, another female brigade commander named Xu Chunli also said confidently: "Obviously, if our army attacks, the Qing army will inevitably rely on the grain carts, and fight and move, leading our army to the tributaries of the Suzhou River, if gunboats suddenly appear on the river, I am afraid that half of the brothers we are pursuing can be alive, and then he will turn around and kill, our army will be defeated!" ”

Lu Dayou frowned: "Sister Chunli, your analysis is very reasonable, but if those five hundred villagers can't resist our attack and can't hold up to the river, wouldn't Wu Naizhao be a bamboo basket for nothing?" What's more, the terrain of the Jiangnan water town is flat, and we can see the gunboats from a distance, can we stand in place and let him bomb? Let's run away wholeheartedly, how can the Qing army intercept it with only 500 villagers? So you should have something to do with it! ”

"Humph!" Xu Chunli snorted coldly: "This girl listens!" ”

Lu Dayou said complacently: "Wu Naizhao must have arranged another army, once the food team is not supported, there will be a counterattack against our army immediately, and even pressure our army to flee to the tributaries of Suzhou Creek, cooperate with the gunboats on the river, and complete the encirclement of our army with superior forces." ”

Xu Chunli's pretty face was red and white for a while, and it took a long time before she didn't say angrily: "You have a point!" ”

"Huh? There's a play! Wang Feng saw the fame, and his pointed gaze repeatedly scanned back and forth on Lu Dayou and Xu Chunli, and Lu Dayou, who was looking directly, smirked, Xu Chunli's pretty face flushed, and then added: "We blew up the Hermes, the British will not give up, and Wu Naizhao is not a fool, he will not be a gunman for the British, so most of the foreigners will participate!"

If I am not mistaken, the grain truck may be the British, and even the French and Americans composed of foreign guns, they each have a mini gun, and we only have one hundred and twenty, or modified, the quality is certainly not as good as the original goods, if the foreigners suddenly appear, then we can really only retreat to the tributary of the Suzhou Creek, and be attacked by the Qing gunboats, the consequences are unimaginable, unless we do not attack, watching Xu Naizhao replenish the grain and grass ammunition, otherwise this is a dead end, do you have a way to crack it? ”

Although Wang Feng was in an inquiring tone, he looked unhurried, and it was obvious that he was in his chest, which made everyone dare not be slow, and they all thought about it carefully.

"The surname is Lu!" Xu Chunli suddenly squinted and glanced over: "Aren't you a good hand at playing with mines, you go first, find a suitable terrain to bury mines, and then the brothers lure the foreigners over, boom, blow up a large area, understand?" ”

"Oh!" Lu Dayou showed a sudden realization, and exclaimed: "Thank you Chunli for your advice!" ”

Xu Chunli raised her head in satisfaction and looked at Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao.

The two glanced at each other, both nodded, Wang Feng instructed: "Xu Chunli, just do as you say, you and Lu Dayou each take a hundred people to bury mines, remember, look at the terrain to bury, don't let the enemy be suspicious, I and the prison army will set off in an hour, we must keep in touch with us at any time, don't blow up your own people, in addition, you bring fifty mini guns, in case of unexpected encounters with the Qing army, you will also have the power to protect yourself." ”

Hong Xuanjiao glanced at Wang Feng meaningfully, and then waved her hand: "Hurry up." ”

"Yes!" Lu Dayou left side by side with a smile on his face and a slightly shy Xu Chunli

Ten minutes later, the mine-laying team took the first step, each with two mines, an hour later, Wang Feng and Hong Xuanjiao led two thousand people to set off, leaving Ding Daquan to defend the city, because it was determined that the Qing army had an ambush, so it was not fast, so as to leave enough time for Lu Dayou, at the same time, the Qing army's grain transport team also stopped and stopped, only to get out of Taicang City less than five miles.

Wang Feng and others were not mistaken, this is indeed a trap, Britain, France and the United States organized a 600-man foreign gun team to assist the Qing army to participate in the encirclement, because the Hermes was bombed, more than 200 soldiers and sailors were directly killed, and the British manpower in Shanghai was not enough, so this time the operation was dominated by the French army.

The coalition of 600 troops, the French army 300, the British army 200, the American army 100, the French lieutenant colonel Meng Douban as the temporary commander, the British captain Clinton as the deputy commander.

Standing at the head of Taicang City, staring at the convoy that has not completely left the sight, Meng Douban's face is full of hesitation, since the Seven Years' War, especially after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, the French were completely pressed by the British, and all joint military operations were dominated by the British, followed by the French, and today, he is the commander!

"Thanks to that Wang Feng's help, in order to thank you, I will cut off your hands and feet, and then hand you over to Mr. Rawell to dispose of!" Meng Douban recalled the shock he had when he first heard of the sinking of the Hermes three days earlier, but it was limited to consternation, and to be honest, all the French and Americans were secretly happy.

For this action, Meng Douban was full of confidence, and immediately turned his head and said, "Mr. Clinton, it's almost time, it's time for us to go." ”

Clinton hesitated, "Do you want to wait?" Let the Taiping army and the Qing army fight for a while, and then we will find the right time to attack, so as to avoid our casualties as much as possible. ”

Meng Douban lost a disdainful look and said unceremoniously: "Mr. Clinton, you are too careful, we have six hundred Mini guns, I dare not exaggerate to say that we alone are enough to wipe out the Chinese army of 10,000 people, if the Taiping army does not retreat to the tributaries of Suzhou Creek, the only outcome is to die under our guns, we don't need to waste time, we will return to Shanghai as soon as possible, now I order, the whole army will set off!" ”

Meng Douban was the commander, and Clinton couldn't stop it, not to mention that deep down he didn't take the Taiping Army seriously, so he kept his mouth shut.
