Chapter Seventy-One: The Sneak Attack Succeeds
In Beijing, in the Forbidden City, Ding Yuntong threw a piece of music to the ground. Fan Changlu, the chief eunuch standing next to him, didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
He felt that the emperor was getting older and more fierce. Yesterday in the dormitory, the emperor asked a palace maid named Yuying to strip off her clothes and spread her legs for him to see. As a result, this Yuying was stunned and kowtowed there without taking off her naked. The emperor was not angry, and immediately ordered this palace maid to be whipped twenty times, locked up in a cold palace, and ate one nest head a day, and then came out when she was obedient. Now I don't know who made the emperor so angry.
As a matter of fact, this report is a secret report, saying that some intellectuals have set up a "Constitutionalism Research Society" in Nanjing's Xishi Hutong to advocate the propaganda of constitutionalism in China, and they have even drawn up a draft constitution.
One of the people who took the lead was Yan Fu.
Ding Yuntong shook his head: This Yan Fu, who was born in the navy in his previous life, became a political thinker, but he didn't expect to be like this in this life. I don't know if it's because of the characteristics of genes or because of the inertia of history. In my previous life, I only wrote but in this life, I saw that politics was much more relaxed, and I simply shouted constitutionalism. If you have a stool, you can climb the table, and if you have a table, you just want to go to the room.
But in any case, constitutionalism is a challenge to centralization, and everyone follows the constitution, where the emperor goes. Everyone obeys the law, and the emperor has to do what he wants.
It was not easy for him to cross over, and as soon as the emperor had a little taste, someone wanted to engage in some kind of constitutionalism. After fighting this battle, let's theorize again.
"Wow", Zhang Gaoping spit out the stuffy breath in his chest, he took a long breath, the fresh night breeze came to his face, and the stars above his head were incomparably refreshing. There were a few sentinels standing next to him, reporting that everything was normal, Zhang Gaoping nodded.
Then, the soldiers came out of the hole one after another, gradually spreading out in all directions.
According to the Vietnamese description, this should be the north side of Daqing Mountain, while the French army is basically on the west side of the mountain. So far, the operation has been successful, as long as you quietly go up, you can suddenly attack the French army from behind.
Zhang Gaoping suppressed his excitement and gathered his troops, at this time it was already the third watch, and Yang Yuke's troops began to arrive one after another.
Zhang Gaoping knew that it was time to make a move, and a frog croaked in the dark, which was a predetermined code, and the troops began to quietly touch the top of the mountain.
The top of the hill is a peaceful atmosphere, and for the French army, it can not be regarded as a peace of mind, but can also be used as a rear.
Military tents are densely packed throughout the station, but the separation is clear. There are accommodation quarters for soldiers and officers; There are field hospital areas; There are sundries areas; There is an entertainment area, where soldiers who are not on duty can drink, smoke, play poker, and browse the pictorial of beautiful women sent from Paris; There is a communication office, which can send and receive mail packages; In particular, there are special religious districts, where some clergy live. The vast majority of the French army were Catholics, and the Catholic Masses and the Protestant churches were somewhat different in form, and they were more solemn, solemn, and solemn. Especially in confession (i.e., a statement of the sins they have committed), Christians can confess to the emperor themselves, and Catholics must face the priest
But at this time, the whole camp was silent, the third watch was equivalent to one o'clock in the morning, almost everyone fell asleep, except for the occasional cough of soldiers who got up at night, and there was only a faint sound of insects in the camp.
At this time, on the north side of the French camp, a large black shadow was bent on the waist, tiptoeing, and quietly shrouded over.
A French sentry was leaning against a tree and napping, the cold of the night penetrating his bone marrow, he couldn't help but shiver slightly, and his whole body shrunk into his coat. Maybe at this time he is in a gentle dreamland, lingering with the girl who is thinking about him in the distance.
He was rejoicing and getting better, suddenly his face was icy, he woke up from his dream, a pair of cold and powerful hands were covering his mouth, before he could react, his throat was cold and piercing, and immediately the sky swirled, and he fell to the ground, and the strength of his whole body quickly poured out of his throat, and he couldn't shout if he wanted to, only to see two nervous and twisted faces looking down at him. It's Chinese, this is his zuihou consciousness.
The two Guards looked back, and this was the fourth sentry to be assassinated. Zhang Gaoping walked out of the darkness, he looked at the French camp less than two hundred meters in front of him, calmed down a little, turned around and pulled an officer, and whispered in his ear: "Tell the rear, the sneak attack was successful, come for reinforcements quickly, go quickly!" "
Then, a fist was stretched out and raised high in the air, and countless pairs of thieves' bright eyes in the darkness stared at this fist.
I saw that the fist was slowly stretched forward, straight in the direction of the French camp, and then, suddenly, five fingers were arrogant, swinging left and right.
This gesture means that the formation spreads out and attacks from all sides.
Countless black shadows immediately came out of the darkness and crossed Zhang Gaoping, like a silent black wave, outflanking the camp. All were carrying bayonets, the tips of which glistened in the moon.
Soon, the black tide slowly poured into the camp, and more and more, more and more rapidly.
At first it was still quiet, with the occasional muffled hum, heavy wheezing, and the "thud" of a bayonet inserting into a human body in some tents.
Gradually, the noise became more and more, and then suddenly a scream of "ah" came from a tent, but the scream stopped abruptly halfway through, like a crowing rooster that had suddenly been cut off by its neck.
Immediately after that, more and more tents emitted fighting noises, shouts, until a gunshot "bang"! Immediately, there was a loud noise, and the sneak attack troops no longer concealed it, and immediately made a big move, stabbing and stabbing violently, and gunfire rang out everywhere.
The camp of the French army also immediately became in a wave of commotion, and the soldiers, who did not have time to get dressed, ran everywhere to wake up their comrades, and the military bugle sounded loudly. Some people ran out of the tent, looking around in a daze, and some came out with their pants in their hands, bouncing and not being able to find another trouser leg. The scene was extremely chaotic.
The panicked guards ran into the headquarters, and Negri had already woken up, and he rushed out of the tent and looked at the place where the gunshots rang out, hundreds of meters away, but a scream could be clearly heard, shouting "Virgin Mary!" everywhere. "
Nigri knew that there was a whole regiment stationed in that area, and such crying and shouting showed that the army had completely collapsed. As a general, he showed the quality of being in danger, and his brain thought quickly: "Although I don't know how the Chinese came up, such a momentum can be determined to be a large number." However, the position of Daqingshan is important, and we must not give up, and we must organize resistance. The regiment in front was already completely in disarray, there was no need to save it, sacrifice those people to delay time, and immediately organize a line of defense. "
Nigri immediately sent his men around to inform them that no one should go to meet him, but gather around him, and at the same time send people down the mountain to ask for help.
Seeing that the enemy had broken up, Zhang Gaoping ordered a battalion to be left behind, and the rest of the more than 1,000 people rushed forward with him, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe.
He led his troops forward, and at this time the French army also began to put up sporadic resistance, although the soldiers who arrived were all disheveled, some with rifles, but did not carry ammunition packs, but the resistance became more and more fierce. When they arrived in the area of the French army's operational command area, they finally fell into a scuffle, and the two sides were deadlocked, and Negri pulled everyone up, including the staff officers around him, who took up arms to participate in the battle, and he himself held an officer's sword and shouted to direct the battle.
The two sides were equal in numbers, and although the French army was prepared in a hurry, they knew that the situation was critical, and they fought bravely, and the Guards were also on the tip of the needle, and did not flinch, and their combat effectiveness surprised Nigri greatly. In his experience, the Chinese army had to be two or three times larger than the French army in terms of numbers before the two sides could contend with each other, but this force was not at all weaker than the French army, and it was obviously much better armed. In less than half an hour of fierce fighting, countless people had fallen on both sides, and the battle entered a white-hot battle, with many soldiers rolling and fighting on the ground in their arms, and they all died together.
Nigri was extremely depressed, his troops now had few heavy weapons, especially the lack of Haqi Kaisi machine guns, which were originally the most powerful weapon against the Chinese.
Zhang Gaoping's mood is not much better: It's been so long, why hasn't the backup come up? Yang Yuke has always been known for his courage and daring, what's the matter, he has lost his reputation?
Just as he was muttering in his heart, the French army suddenly burst into gunfire behind him, shouting like a tide, a volley of guns came over, bullets rained down, the French army suddenly fell a large piece, and immediately the whole line was in chaos, Zhang Gaoping was overjoyed: No wonder, it turned out to outflank the enemy, good!
He immediately climbed up and shouted: "Brothers, the reinforcements are coming, we are going to win, beat him up for a dog day!" When the troops heard this, they were greatly invigorated, and they even went down to the mountains to fight tigers and dragons out to sea.
The French army was attacked in front and back, and the morale of the army was shaken, and many gave up resistance and began to find gaps to escape. Seeing that the troops were out of control, Nigri knew that the general trend had gone, and now it was impossible to retreat, and retreat was a disciplined and orderly escape, and now it could only be dispersed.
The establishment of the French army was completely disrupted, and the so-called which company, which battalion, a bunch here, a group there, like a flock of sheep chased by a vicious wolf, scattered and fled in a disorderly manner on the hillside, and the Chinese army was holding rifles, surrounding and chasing everywhere, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth.
The soldiers of the Guards shouted in pursuit: "Dicha Yi Om! Dichael, Yiom! Dichael, Yiom! "
This is an approximate pronunciation of the French phrase "lay down arms", which the officers and soldiers of the Guards have just been taught, and now it comes in handy. The soldiers of the training army also followed the study unconsciously, screaming in their mouths, but the bayonets in their hands were only stabbing indiscriminately.
The hillsides are full of "Dichami Om!" The cry was spectacular for a while.
