543 Mysterious Weapons Attack
Staff officer Li Tianqian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I think the French are just playing tricks, you don't have to worry too much." ”
Staff officer He Kaisheng said nervously: "Your Majesty, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, this mysterious weapon of the French, we must not guard against it." ”
Lin Fei nodded lightly, "What Staff Officer He said makes sense, we really can't take it lightly, so let's call the messenger who delivered the letter, and I'll ask him." ”
Lin Fei didn't know that the messenger was a girl, he didn't see the messenger, Lin Fei's staff heard that the messenger was only here to deliver the letter, so they accepted the letter, and did not let the messenger go in to meet Lin Fei, but they didn't let the messenger go, because Lin Fei might have a reply to give to the messenger.
As soon as Lin Fei's order was given, a staff officer brought the maid over, and as soon as the maid came in, she lowered her head and didn't say a word, Lin Fei was stunned when she saw her, "Why did the French send a girl over?" ”
Li Tianqian smiled and said: "Your Majesty's killing of the envoy is already well known, and you are now 'notorious', so they don't dare to send a man over, they sent a girl, they think that Your Majesty will not kill a girl." ”
Lin Fei smiled helplessly, "Am I that bad?" While he was talking, Lin Fei found that the girl was trembling slightly, and asked with concern: "Girl, why are you shivering, are you cold?" No, how can it be cold in this weather now, are you sick? ”
The maid shook her head and replied in Chinese, "I...... I'm fine. "The Vietnamese royal family is deeply influenced by Han culture, and many of the maids can speak Chinese.
"Then why are you shaking?"
The maid lowered her head, still didn't speak, and Li Tianqian whispered to Lin Fei on the side: "Your Majesty, she may be afraid." ”
The maid secretly glanced at Li Tianqian, her expression was acquiescing, Lin Fei understood, so she said softly: "Don't be afraid, raise your head." ”
The maid didn't look up, and Li Tianqian reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "Hey, raise your head, you dare not listen to our majesty's orders." ”
Lin Fei hurriedly said: "A girl, don't be so fierce, girl, raise your head." ”
The maid raised her head at this time, Lin Fei saw at a glance that this girl's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was full of tears, it turned out that this maid was the one who persuaded Ruan Fubaojiao to take refuge in Lin Fei, and was almost beaten by Ruan Fubaojiao's pants, she felt wronged, cried all the way, and when she arrived at Lin Fei, her tears had not dried.
Lin Fei frowned, and said angrily: "Girl, is someone bullying you, you are a smart girl, my subordinates are all young men with strong blood, did someone do anything rude to you?" ”
The maid hurriedly shook her head, "No...... No, no one did anything rude to me. ”
"Then why are you crying?"
The maid's face flushed slightly, and she snorted for a while, and then she said in a slur manner: "The princess wants to beat me, I am so wronged." "This maid is very honest and has never lied at all, Lin Fei told the matter as soon as she asked.
Lin Fei was stunned, "The princess is going to beat you, Ruan Fubaojiao?" She also came to the front? ”
The maid nodded slightly, Lin Fei suddenly smiled, and secretly thought in his heart that he must catch her again, Lin Fei continued to ask, "Why did your princess beat you?" ”
"I ...... I asked the princess to come to you, and the princess was angry...... You're going to hit me. ”
"So that's the case, it seems that Princess Nguyen Phuc Baojiao has a deep resentment towards me." After Lin Fei finished speaking, he thought to himself, such Ruan Fu Baojiao is only interesting to conquer.
Lin Fei thought about the conquest of the arrogant princess, so he didn't speak, and Li Tianqian said from the side: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to find out about the mysterious weapons of the French army?" ”
Lin Fei reacted and asked, "Girl, do you know anything about the mysterious weapons of the French?" ”
The maid hesitated for a moment, "I've only seen one big thing, and I don't know anything else." ”
Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "What does that big thing look like?" ”
"Covered with a large cloth, I can't see clearly."
Lin Fei saw that this maid was sincere in her words and sincere in expression, and felt that she didn't seem to be telling a lie, so he didn't ask questions, but said, "Can you stay with me for a day first?" ”
The maid trembled with fright, "You...... What do you want? ”
"Don't be afraid, I have no malicious intent, when you escaped from Hue, didn't there be a maid who replaced Princess Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao, her name is Li Zhihan, she is here with me, I want to return her to Princess Nguyen Phuc Bao Jiao now, I will let her be picked up, you go back together, okay?"
"Sister, she didn't die!" The maid screamed, tears welling up in her eyes, Lin Fei was a little surprised, "Li Zhihan is your sister?" Is it a sister? ”
"That's right, that's right, she's my biological sister, my name is Li Zhixiu, we all thought you killed my sister, but I didn't expect you to kill her."
Lin Fei laughed, "She is a little girl, what am I going to do to kill her, she is now in Hue City, I will let someone bring her up, come here, and take this messenger girl to a separate tent to rest." ”
As soon as Li Zhixiu left, Lin Fei immediately recalled the French weapons of his time, and wanted to find the clues of that mysterious weapon, he suddenly thought that the so-called mysterious weapon of the French army would be the 1897 howitzer known as "Miss 75", this howitzer uses a hydraulic recoiling machine, and Lin Fei's HP-2 75mm howitzer is copied from it.
The rate of fire of the "Miss 75" is very fast, up to fifteen rounds per minute, and the ultimate rate of fire is thirty rounds per minute, such a terrifying rate of fire provides a strong ability to suppress fire.
Lin Fei was worried that this mysterious weapon was the "Miss 75" of the French army, so he immediately ordered the troops to dig individual "cat ear holes" in the trenches to hide for the infantry.
Li Zhixiu's deputy envoy went back to report to Ruan Fu Baojiao, and when she told the matter, Ruan Fu Baojiao was even more surprised, she originally thought that Lin Fei would torture Li Zhihan to death with extremely vicious means, but she didn't expect Lin Fei to let Li Zhihan go, Ruan Fu Baojiao couldn't help but think, Lin Fei is still very kind, if he is his woman, will he be very gentle with himself...... I hate it, don't think like that anymore!
The commander of the French army, Berbato, also guessed that Lin Fei would refuse his persuasion to surrender, and there was no surprise, and then ordered his troops to prepare to launch an attack on the Huaxia position.
Lin Fei then ordered the troops to be on full alert, and that night, Li Zhihan rushed to the military camp from Hue, and the sisters wept with joy when they saw each other, Lin Fei comforted the two of them a few words, and gave some gifts to send the two girls back to their camp.
Early the next morning, in the French trenches, there were a large number of busy figures, these people were Vietnamese, each of them with shovels and hoes, under the command of the French army to Lin Fei's position to dig a communication trench, this is the prelude to the French attack, they dug the communication trench to a place about 400 meters away from the Chinese position, they will launch an attack.
In front of the French army is responsible for the defensive task is the eighth regiment of the third brigade of the first division, the establishment of the Chinese army is like this, a division has three brigades, a brigade has three regiments, the brigade number is from one row to three, and the regiment number is from one row to nine, and the commander of the eighth regiment is named Xie Huaishan, a Shandong man, who once went to Jiaozhou Bay with Chiyo Shizuka.
Xie Huaishan saw that the French army was preparing to attack, and while reporting the news to his superiors, he ordered the troops to prepare for defense, and the news was reported to Lin Fei, who immediately instructed Zhao Menggang to use artillery to cover the French position and prevent it from digging trenches.
At this moment, Xie Huaishan suddenly noticed that there was something abnormal in the French army opposite, and in the binoculars, he saw that the faces of the French soldiers and Vietnamese migrant workers were excited, as if the French army was winning, Xie Huaishan couldn't help but smile and said, "These French guys, are they sick?" ”
How did Xie Huaishan know that the French army was so excited because their mysterious weapon was about to be revealed.
Xie Huaishan was laughing secretly, when suddenly the soldier next to him shouted: "Regiment Commander, look at it." Xie Huaishan turned his head to look at the soldier who spoke, and saw that the soldier was pointing to the sky with his finger, Xie Huaishan followed the soldier's finger and saw four black dots appear in the sky.
At this time, many people on the Huaxia Army position also saw the four black dots, gradually, the black dots gradually became larger, and the outline appeared, only to see that this thing looked like a large cylinder placed horizontally, and there was a basket-like thing hanging under the cylinder.
It turns out that the mysterious weapon of the French army is an airship!
Some time ago, Lin Fei got the information that the French were developing military airships, and the French had a very good foundation in the development of airships.
The four airships gradually approached the position of the Huaxia army, and the soldiers of the Huaxia army did not know what the airship was, and there were many discussions in the trenches, and many soldiers said in panic: "Flying in the sky, it should not be a monster, right?" "It must be a youkai, otherwise what else can fly in the sky?" "How can the French have monsters to help?"
The soldiers of the Huaxia Army have such thoughts, they can't be blamed for being ignorant, although Lin Fei has always preached atheistic thoughts, but strange things are deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture, even in Lin Fei's era, there are still not a few people who believe in ghosts and gods, let alone this era.
Xie Huaishan's head also oozed cold sweat, and he didn't know what the things flying in the sky were, at this moment, he only heard the sound of "whooshing", and then the sound of "popping" sounded on the trench in front of him, and after a cloud of smoke and dust, a series of small pits were left on the ground, and a thought instantly appeared in Xie Huaishan's mind - things flying in the sky will shoot.
At the same time, several soldiers around Xie Huaishan had been hit by bullets and fell to the trench screaming, they were all shot in the head and face, and their faces were torn apart, looking particularly terrifying......
