Chapter 4: Heavy Rain

"China is undefeated and defeated, and France is victorious without victory."

Many 'bricks' glorify a war, saying that China has only a slight strategic regression, which is sensible and considers various aspects.

Whether the 'brick family' is an expert on the Chinese or an expert on the Han is impossible to prove, but before and during the Sino-French war, the international and domestic situation was chaotic.

The country is handling the Westernization Movement, and many patriots are preparing to serve the country through industry. Abroad, the Meiji Restoration was carried out in Japan, and the workers' movement was also carried out in France.

It can be regarded as a prosperous scene, if it is just for a good construction, the war will be stopped.

But was the Qing government really for the sake of construction?

The old lady of the Qing court is busy fighting inwardly, suppressing the Han forces externally, suppressing the iron hat king internally, still playing with power, and still enjoying herself.

When the Sino-Japanese War broke out, I didn't forget to repair my yard.

Such an old lady, you say that she is regressing for the sake of strategy, and when she says this, there are a few people with normal thinking who believe it.

Thinking about the fact that this old lady can live for 20 years, Zhang Xiaofan's love turned into burning anger.

When he entered the barracks to report for duty, Zhang Xiaofan did use a lot of herbs and refined Yunnan Baiyao and other traumatic medicines. There was a large amount of small pills exchanged for the soldiers for treatment.

Within a month, Liu Yongfu remembered the Holy Hand of Medicine recommended by Huang Feihong, the head of the Black Flag Army.

"Mr. Zhang, are you here to see the handsome?"

"Brother Wu, please tell me, just say that Zhang has something important to ask to see."

"Please wait a moment," Liu Yongfu's personal guard was also injured, and he didn't dare to slack off when he saw the holy hand of the medical state in the barracks.

Liu Yongfu also understands that there is generally no major event for military doctors, they will not come to find themselves, they are generally just logistics, since they came to find themselves, there must be something important, so they immediately let Zhang Xiaofan in.

"Marshal, generals, Zhang is polite." Zhang Xiaofan's theory is just the identity of a guest, which is a friend, but there is no need to kowtow.

Liu Yongfu will not be surprised in these aspects, and everyone will be polite.

Zhang Xiaofan arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the marshal, congratulations to the marshal, our army will break the French army on an auspicious day." ”

"Mr. Zhang, wait," Liu Yongfu was stunned, where did this joy come from? Our army has broken the French army, why haven't I seen the slightest sign?

Randomly stopped: "Mr. Zhang, where did you hear the rumors that your army broke the French army?" I don't have any information here, and I want to attack the French army? ”

Zhang Xiaofan laughed and said: "Dashuai, Zhang is not talking nonsense, I went out to look for herbs yesterday and found that the number of French troops was inconsistent with before, so I went to watch closely." It turned out that because of the coming of winter, the French army came to deliver a batch of grain and grass. The French army's grain and grass were transported once every ten days, and they would habitually keep the grain and grass for five days. And I observe the celestial phenomena, seven days after a large winter rain will come, this winter rain is coming, I expect the time to be as many as seven days, and the French army only has seven days of grain and grass to eat, our army only needs to ambush 3,000 elite soldiers on these two hills, and when the winter rain stops, the French army must send grain and grass in time. Our 3,000 elite soldiers can take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and we can break the French army. ”

"Haha, Mr. Zhang said with a smile," Liu Yongfu smiled, pointed to the topographic map, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you said that there are 3,000 people hidden in these two mountain ranges, and it is indeed no problem, but if you want to take the opportunity to cover up and kill the French army's grain and grass troops after the winter rain, our sergeants are afraid that they will not have enough physical strength and will not be able to do it, this is one of them." The second is that there are unforeseen storms in the sky, Mr. Zhang, you said that there is a heavy winter rain coming, which I believe, but it will rain for seven days, I am afraid it is not easy to see, unless Mr. Zhang wants Zhuge Kongming to borrow the ability of the east wind. Hahaha......! ”

"Haha......"

Zhang Xiaofan smiled indifferently, he now senses the world, and he is still confident in the upcoming winter rain, saying that it will arrive in seven days, and it will not be within seven days. If you say it's at least seven days, it won't be six and a half days.

Liu Yongfu and the generals originally planned to invite Zhang Xiaofan to go down, after all, a doctor Lang Zhong is willing to give advice for himself, which can be regarded as a sign that he is quite popular with the army, and he can't be attacked.

But Zhang Xiaofan looked like he was sure of victory, so that the laughter in the hall gradually stopped, and many people even speculated that Langzhong in front of him really had the ability to predict the weather?

"Mr. Zhang, even if you really have the ability to predict the weather, but the soldiers of our army have been hiding soldiers on two hills for seven days, I'm afraid they won't have the physical strength?"

Liu Yongfu skimmed the weather first, solved the problem of the army's physical strength, and then talked about the rest.

Zhang Xiaofan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said with a smile: "Of course the winter rain is real, and it only rains and does not snow." As for the physical strength of the soldiers, this is the Bigu Pill refined by the Poor Dao, and if you take one pill, you can be full for seven days without hunger, thirst, or cold. ”

"Sir, don't make trouble," Liu Yongfu's face was full of displeasure, the gentleman said that he was sick and wheezing.

"Zhang is willing to make a military order," Zhang Xiaofan directly threw a porcelain bottle into the big handsome's table, pulled the cork, and rolled out seven black pills.

"The army has no jokes, sir, don't mistake yourself."

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head and chuckled: "It's not difficult to say, it's not difficult to say, now it's six days before the time of hiding the soldiers, I have a way to block the wind and rain for a few days, these six days, the marshal can choose his own soldiers to take pills, six days, if the soldier's physical strength is not hindered, this strategy to destroy the enemy is feasible?" ”

"If Mr. really refines the Bigu Divine Medicine, why am I unwilling to break the enemy?"

Liu Yongfu selected seven from the outside soldiers on the spot and let them lie in a wooden cage, as if they were showing the public with a flail.

Zhang Xiaofan comforted these seven people and warned them not to panic, but to believe in their own elixir energy. Compared with Liu Yongfu and other senior officials, the soldiers below trusted Zhang Xiaofan even more, and they all volunteered to participate in the drug test after hearing about it.

This made Zhang Xiaofan feel a little moved, and asked Liu Yongfu for a few rewards, and when the six-day drug test was over, these soldiers were promoted to one level.

You can be promoted to a level without fighting, this kind of good thing, so that other soldiers outside secretly regret it.

Six days have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the eyes of the Black Flag Army scouts, the French army's grain and grass were not delivered continuously.

And Liu Yongfu was surprised when he faced the six soldiers in the cage jumping around the next day, and he had a little more confidence in Zhang Xiaofan's Bigu Divine Pill.

On the third day, seeing that the soldier's expression remained unchanged, he began to ask Zhang Xiaofan, how much did Bigu Shendan make?

When he heard that Zhang Xiaofan could only make more than 3,000 pills, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, and ordered the whole army to collect herbs for Zhang Xiaofan, preparing to ask Zhang Xiaofan to continue refining the Bigu Divine Pill.

On the fourth day, there were too many people watching the soldiers in the cage, and Liu Yongfu directly ordered that he should not wear them outside.

And on the fifth day, everyone was not surprised by the Bigu Shendan, and began to look forward to the heavy winter rain two days later.

The soldiers in the cage are lukewarm at night, and their whole body functions like ordinary people, this kind of divine pill has never been seen, only heard in mythological stories.

Since the Black Flag Army has such a divine pill to help, there is no reason why it can't win against foreign devils.

As the saying goes, you have technology, I have the elixir.

On the sixth day, Zhang Xiaofan and another general were ready to go.

They were all dressed lightly, and they only carried a large number of bows and arrows.

There is no fire, because Zhang Xiaofan said that the heavy winter rain within seven days will freeze all the fire, and he can use a bow and arrow, and he has already thanked God for his mercy.

Although these soldiers are more grateful to Zhang Xiaofan in their hearts.

When the army set off, it was natural to have a warning, Liu Yongfu was already at ease with the army, but he still didn't believe in the seven-day heavy winter rain, is there really a master who predicts the weather in this world?

In "Journey to the West", Yuan Tiangang can predict the time of rain and the number of raindrops, this is already a person among the gods, is Zhang Xiaofan also a person among the gods?

Is the Transformation Realm considered a person among the immortals?

Zhang Xiaofan didn't know, but his perception of the weather made him a little more confident in this operation, and in addition, it was a matter of how many foreign devils to kill.

It is better to extinguish it completely.

Zhang Xiaofan looked at modern history, foreign devils can fight if they can fight, and if they can't beat them, they will fight in another place, they are simply scoundrels and ruffians.

If China, like Russia, borders on European countries, they will never dare to bully China like this, just because foreign devils can beat China and fight China, while China can only fight back at home, resulting in a decline in its international status.

This is also the helplessness of Chinese history.

In the steppe, how many times did the Chinese Han, Tang, Song, and Ming counterattacks, and as a result, the steppe tribes came back from the dead, why?

Isn't it the Central Plains Imperial Court, can't you really pull out their roots?

The Eight-Nation Alliance, do the math, what are they?

Zhang Xiaofan is not uncommon to say much, just because these countries are far away from China, and China has no ability to go on expeditions, which has led to repeated bullying, and even a few of them have come over, with an arrogant face and pointing fingers, in fact, these small countries are like grandsons in Europe.

Since there was a chance to annihilate the enemy army this time, Zhang Xiaofan did not plan to leave a way for the enemy army to survive.

After a pre-army mobilization, Zhang Xiaofan led 1,500 soldiers to ambush them, and held a meeting to tell them stories.

are all simple and easy-to-understand truths, the history of China's development, the history of the humiliation of the Han people, the history of world development, the industrial revolution and so on.

The day after the ambush, the winter rain arrived as scheduled, and the soldiers were convinced of it.

The divine doctor said that if there are seven days of heavy winter rain, there will be no less than one day, or one more day.

Liu Yongfu, the commander of the army, secretly prayed, hoping that Zhang Xiaofan's prediction would come true.

Speaking from the heart, Liu Yongfu also hopes that he will believe it, but the heavy winter rain for seven consecutive days has blocked the French army from transporting grain and grass, and such weather is too little.

It's like Zhuge Liang borrowing the east wind.

In winter, there is a heavy fog, and there is a strange southeast wind next to it.

If you haven't experienced it, how many people believe it?

In the big winter, it only rains and does not snow, of course, it is possible, but it rains for seven days in a row, but it does not snow, which is difficult for God.

God is not difficult, Zhang Xiaofan doesn't know that in order to bring down this winter rain, he can be regarded as holding back his strength.

I took more than 70 True Yuan Pills in a row, replenished my physical strength, stirred the cold air in the sky, and changed the weather that was supposed to snow to winter rain.

Winter rain is also called freezing rain.

For seven days in a row, everything froze.

For seven days in a row, the temperature has been minus seven or eight degrees.

The tweed uniforms of the French army can only withstand the low temperature of zero degrees, and the low temperature of minus seven or eight degrees Celsius has continued to decline, so they have to call for help from the French army headquarters by telegraph.

It rained for seven days in winter, and the French army sent a seven-day telegram asking for help.

Because of the winter rain, the logistics can only continue to accumulate the departure team, and if you want to set off, you can only wait for the rain to stop.

When the clouds and rain stopped for seven days, everyone was happy.
