The rain came again. Make the already muddy ground even more slippery.

"Fuck it, thief!" Cao Huailiang doesn't know how many times he scolded God, Vietnam in the rainy season made the Rockets suffer.

More than 30 vehicles marked with the symbol 'dangerous', even with buffalo pulling in front, are still very difficult to travel. He really misses southern Xinjiang for three or five months without a drop of rain.

"Don't worry, don't worry-" Obviously he was anxious to breathe fire, but he still had to shout not to hurry. It's just that the more than 30 cars are loaded with rockets, and they are new rockets filled with picric acid. The price of that thing is really cheap, it has been used as a dye in the West for more than a hundred years, and the cost is many times cheaper than the synthesized TNT in the actual yàn, and the most important thing is that the Qin army can buy as much as he wants. No restrictions at all!

Mixing this thing with fire wool and using thunder and mercury as a pilot and fuse tube, that is a new type of explosives and ammunition. The power is much stronger than black powder, although it is a little weaker than the TNT, and it is far less than the TNT safety insurance, it is very sensitive, and it is easy to explode when it encounters metal, but it is very suitable for the filling charge of rockets.

There were too many rivers in Vietnam, from Guangxi to Hue, the distance was so far, thousands of miles with many artillery, the march was too slow and slow. So Liu Xian decided that there would be less artillery and the firepower intensity would rely on the rocket team to make up for it. Cao Huailiang is now in charge of more than a dozen vehicles equipped with rocket teams prepared to deal with the firepower gap in the battle with the large French army.

More than 1,000 in total!

And when necessary, the rocket team personnel can also make their own old-fashioned rocket team. As for the black powder needed for refilling, whether it is the logistics of the Qin army. Or the Vietnamese side, they are well prepared.

Liu Xian arrived in Hue early with the garrison brigade. On muddy roads, the speed of the horses was also affected. But apparently much faster than walking on two legs.

Of course, he was well aware of the situation in Hue City. The French army had already retreated. Wu Zhongping's table xiàn can be described as great. However, the exact inside information, such as how many casualties and how many results were achieved, then he did not know.

At noon, I rushed to the outside of Hue City, and I could see the two big gaps in the northern city wall of Hue from a long distance.

Liu Xian's expression was indifferent, and he already knew it in his heart. But the other people in the garrison brigade were different, from Huo Guangcheng to ordinary soldiers, they were all shocked. This Vietnamese soldier is also quite capable of fighting! The walls are rotting like this. You can still hold Hue City! This is very different from the Vietnamese officers and soldiers who they perceive to be worse than the Eight Banners Green Battalion!

Especially after Liu Xian took them around Hue City, he saw that there were gaps in the four walls of Hue City, and the two gaps in the north were the least of the four sides, and the sense of surprise in his heart was even greater.

"Don't think too well of yourself, don't think too low of others!" Before entering the city, Liu Xian left such a sentence for the garrison brigade. It can be regarded as a wake-up call for the arrogant Qin army in the past two years.

Seeing Wu Zhongping again, Liu Xian almost didn't recognize this familiar Vietnamese military official. The whole person lost more than ten pounds, and the wrinkles on his forehead were as deep as a knife carving. The whole person is filled with a sharpness!

This is a common breath of war soldiers. The murderous spirit of the soldiers, the determination of the officers to kill, and the will and decisiveness of the people have been tempered in the hard battles and fierce battles day after day. This is true for those who have just left the battlefield. It's just that someone with a sharp aura like Wu Zhongping is rare. is like Zhang Zhongkui when he met the Russian army at the beginning, and he was in the defense of the old city of Kashgar. The momentum of the whole body, a glance was thrown over. The indigenous chiefs of southern Xinjiang did not even dare to make a loud noise.

And Zhang Zhongkui's evaluation within the Qin army is known for being rigid and loyal. One qiē can only be said to be the creation of war.

"Haha. In the first battle of Hue, when the bloody war in Vietnam was the first, the wisdom and courage of the military commander could impress Fayi. "For people who really have the ability, Liu Xian doesn't mind 'impressing'. For people like Duan Shou, don't want to hear the word 'Duan Shuai' from Liu Xian's mouth in your life.

Liu Xian is an absolute famous general in the eyes of Wu Zhongping, and he is an absolute big man. Being praised and praised by such a person, the sense of recognition generated in that person's heart is not comparable to the praise of ordinary pawns. Wu Zhongping's face was a little red for a moment, and his straight waist was even more straight, "The military gate is falsely praised, falsely praised!" The only thing that affected was the sharp aura on Wu Zhongping's body, which seemed to have weakened abruptly with Liu Xian's praise. was dissipated a lot by the joy that surged in Wu Zhongping's body and heart.

Repelled the French attack, the Vietnamese soldiers in Hue City, especially the Vietnamese New Army, looked much more powerful than before. This is the result of the 'edification' of the Great War, and it is not something that can be trained on the training ground and in the fight against bandits. However, the Vietnamese were congenitally short in their hearts towards China, especially the Qin army. When a reorganized Qin army, together with Liu Xian himself, rode a high-headed horse into Hue City, the hearts and morale of the entire Hue people became more stable and high-pitched.

"There are still tens of thousands of people in the old and new armies in Hue, and there is plenty of ammunition and guns, but there is no artillery fire. Yes, they can only defend, and they are powerless to attack. When he arrived at Wu Zhongping's command office, after the polite words were spoken, Wu Zhongping told Liu Xian about the real situation. During the war, the Forces nouvelles suffered heavy casualties, and many guns were vacated. Therefore, although the firearms were damaged a lot in the battle, there was still a surplus. The biggest shortcoming of the Vietnamese army now is artillery. All of their artillery was destroyed in the battle. The French may have problems with their tactics, but the training of their soldiers is absolutely world-class. The level of the artillery table made Wu Zhongping shocked and frightened!

At the head of Hue City, more than a dozen Han Yuan cannons placed on the four walls of the city were destroyed by French artillery fire at all. After the gap in the city wall was blown open and several French attacks were blocked, the French artillery bombarded the shells directly behind the city wall, and the shortest distance from the city wall was less than 100 meters. In Wu Zhongping's opinion, that level is simply divine! It is much better than the artillery instructors of the Qin army.

Vu Trung Binh is not a mediocre general, as a native of Vietnam, he knows how difficult the roads in Vietnam are during the rainy season. When he saw that Liu Xian's group of men were all cavalry, he even 'saw' the near future - artillery, and the Qin army also did not have enough artillery.

Vietnam's poor transportation will make the Qin army extremely 'vulnerable'. After such a battle, Wu Zhongping could not be clearer about the importance of artillery in war.

The French army has an artillery group at hand, and even that artillery group will become more powerful after the two French armies merge. They have this sharp weapon in their hands, and the Qin army should not say that there are more than 5,000 people, even if there are more than 5,000 people, they will not be able to defeat the French. But Liu Xian's expression is so confident, in the previous polite words, although it was just polite words, Wu Zhongping could also feel his full self-confidence in winning the next battle. Wu Zhongping was very curious, where did Liu Xian's self-confidence come from?

Liu Xian will not put the rocket in front of them without concealment. Although after this war, some news will be leaked out of the rockets, it is better than putting nothing in front of people's eyes.

"Wu Shuai rest assured. In this battle, our army will win—"

Liu Xian's voice was categorical. Wu Zhongping has his reasons to win, and Liu Xian also has reasons to win. Although he has some 'ugly' reasons compared to Wu Zhongping's, it is only limited to the benefits of the Qin army. But it's also worth his all.

……

Fuhai. A small county town more than 40 miles southeast of Hue City.

Francis. Garnier led his troops and retreated here. Of the 1,600 French Army soldiers, only a little over 1,000 remained, and only 3,000 of the more than 5,000 Blue Ribbon soldiers remained.

However, the French artillery was well preserved, and ammunition was not in short supply. Wu Zhongping had no intention of provoking at all, and after Liu Xian led the garrison team to arrive, he only went to Fuhai to visit the spot.

Du Bai Lei returned to Da Nang. The defeat in the battle of Hanoi did not damage his reputation too much, as the fighting of both armies was also not ideal. Du Bailey had issued an order to recall the French army led by Major General Frost, plus Francis. With the remnants led by Garnier, plus more than 200 people in Du Bailei's hands, the French army could barely muster 3,000 soldiers.

Before the start of the war, Du Bailei, who had 3,000 soldiers in hand, would not even be taken seriously by the Qin army. Even if he already thinks highly of Qin Jun. But now, after experiencing the war, Du Bailei found that she had underestimated the strength of the Qin army too much.

In the next battle, the opponent was the French army plus the blue belt soldiers vs the Qin army and the Vietnamese soldiers. Whether it is the Blue Belt soldiers or the Vietnamese soldiers, the troops are not weak, but the main forces will undoubtedly only be the French army and the Qin army.

In the French army in Vietnam, all forces had to be concentrated to deal with this battle.

Du Bailei is still confident in the victory of the battle. However, he also had to admit that the slightest negligence could have caused the French army to lose the favor of the goddess of victory. They must deal with the next decisive battle with the same attitude as they did against the German army.

"We have a powerful artillery, we can concentrate at least fifty guns. We have excellent, professional gunners, with powerful artillery fire to make our strongest spears, to pierce the hearts of the Chinese and Vietnamese.

I await the news of your victory! ”

"Also, don't forget my warning, the four big axe-class iron-hulled gunboats are examples of this. Guarding against this point of the Chinese, victory is ours. ”

Du Bailei recalled Francis. Garnier and Frost, the latter leading a team led by his deputy, headed to Forhai and Francis. The Garnier army converged.

And the reason why Du Bailei recalled the two of them was to let them witness the tragic situation of the Masu. Let them take their warnings to heart! (To be continued......) R1292
