The fifth night of the rush town of Nanguan (2)
The way the Donghai team appeared in this Zhennanguan victory was a bit inexplicable to everyone, and they didn't even get the clothing of the Qing soldiers, which means that they were not the identity of the Qing army. If you enter the battlefield as a civilian, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate, so Sima Fuqiang signaled everyone to wait patiently.
At the same time, the Gallic team, the opponent that the Dream World had arranged to fight with the Donghai team, had also entered the battlefield, and they were in Wenyuan City. Although they are not dressed as French soldiers, after all, they have a foreign face, and it is not easy to blend in with the civilians. They simply did not disguise themselves, so they blended into the French army to counterattack the Qing army Wang Xiaoqi's troops who attacked Wenyuan.
Wang Xiaoqi was ordered by Feng Zicai, a septuagenarian veteran who was then the military assistant of Guanwai, to attack Wenyuan before the French army's support arrived, so as to disrupt the strategic intentions of the French army. Since he set out late at night, and arrived at Wenyuan when the French army was asleep before dawn, by the time the two teams of dreamers entered the battlefield one after another, he had already destroyed two French batteries, and his achievements were brilliant.
The sharp weapon of the French army that rampaged through Vietnam was their flowering artillery, but due to Wang Xiaoqi's sneak attack, the flowering artillery lost the opportunity to strike at a long distance. The Trisport M1866 breech gun they were equipped with was still much worse than the K98 Mauser gun of the Germans in the same period, and even among the various breech-loading rifles that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century, it was relatively poor, and it was completely impossible to suppress the brave Wang Xiaoqi.
Therefore, seeing that Wen Yuan was about to fall completely, but the sudden appearance of the Gaul team directly caused the entire battle situation to begin to reverse the situation that was unfavorable to the Qing army.
The reason why the Qing army was brave was that the French army was not good at fighting, and once the two sides were close, it was a one-sided trend. But at this time, the people in the dream appeared, and they may not be able to do anything else, but Yu Leng's weapons are all equipped with combat skills, and the ordinary Qing soldiers are not their opponents at all, and they assisted the French army to recover their disadvantage after a short time.
Wang Xiaoqi had already discovered this group of uninvited guests who suddenly appeared at this time, but he couldn't do anything about it. With his strength, he can naturally stabilize these people, but the other party deliberately avoids himself and specifically looks for ordinary soldiers to attack, so he can't do anything.
Moreover, as a general of the Qing army, the French troops on the battlefield are staring at him, if he blindly chases those dream people, he will become the target of the French sooner or later.
Considering that the task assigned by Feng Zicai had been completed, he didn't want his subordinates to suffer more senseless losses, so he simply ordered the withdrawal of the army.
Although Colonel Negri, the commander of the French army in the French army, the deputy commander of the Tokyo Military Region of the French Army (the French called North Vietnam as Tokyo), was stunned by Wang Xiaoqi's sneak attack at first, he was also a member of the French army in the Far East, and at this time he did not have time to investigate who those strange compatriots who suddenly appeared, but immediately ordered the Wenyuan garrison to pursue Wang Xiaoqi at the end of the rank, and strive to take Zhennan Pass and enter Guangxi in one go.
Hiding in the rainforest to watch the battle, the East China Sea team finally found the group of foreigners in civilian clothes, these people were not only dressed in a very different uniform from the French army, but also had a variety of weapons, such as Western swords, double-edged axes, Damascus knives, cavalry spears, chain hammers, and longbows, and their identities could be judged at a glance.
At the same time that Sima Fuqiang confirmed the identity of the other party's dream person, the voiceover of the dream world appeared in the minds of the sixteen people of the two teams at the same time, "The hostile force Gallic (East China Sea) team has been discovered, and the life-and-death rush mission has been launched, and all the members can withdraw from the battle of Zhennan Pass after killing the opponent's dream person." ”
After hearing this announcement, the dream people of the Gallic team immediately retreated to Wenyuan, no longer accompanying the French army to pursue and retreat the Qing army Wang Xiaoqi's troops, but occupied the defensive advantage of Wenyuan City, and refused to leave the city easily.
The Tokai team's side reacted completely differently, and everyone looked at the captain in confusion. Even Sima Fuqiang, who has been in the dream world for the longest time, has never heard of the mode of "life and death rush", and there is no way to deal with it for a while. But fortunately, he was far away from the average person, and when he saw the actions of the Gallic team shrinking Wenyuan City, he had a plan in his heart.
The Gallic team in front of him obviously knows the "life and death" mode, so it can make the most correct response at the first time, if the East China Sea team rashly attacks at this time, I am afraid it will inevitably suffer a big loss.
The other party wants to occupy the defensive advantage of Wenyuan City, which is a fairly correct tactical idea, but Sima Fuqiang is not worried, which shows that the other party does not understand the history of the Battle of Zhennan Pass, or they have not judged the background of this battle at all, after all, not every team can have a living dictionary of war history like his.
If the Gallic team wants to stay in Wenyuan City and not come out, then let them stay, and the Donghai team will not play with them. If Sima Fuqiang is not mistaken, the present time should be the morning of March 22, 1885. Four days later, the commander of the French army, Colonel Nigri, was defeated and withdrew from Wenyuan City and fled to Lang Son.
In other words, the Gallic team did not have the opportunity to stay in Wenyuan City for the rest of their lives, waiting for the Donghai team to attack. On the contrary, as long as the East China Sea team takes advantage of the opponent's Turtle Shrinkage Wenyuan City to make a good layout, Sima Fuqiang believes that there will be a chance to catch the opponent off guard.
Negri's pursuing forces were quickly repulsed by Wang Xiaoqi, and without the help of the Gauls and the fire support of the flowering artillery, how could they have won. However, Nigri did not give up, and gathered more than 2,000 people from the Second Brigade of the French Army around Wenyuan on the same day, preparing to return the rule to his people in the early morning of the next day, and take the remaining flowering cannons of Wenyuan City to attack Zhennanguan.
At this time, the Donghai team was still hiding in the rainforest outside Wenyuan City, planning how to deal with the Gallic team in the hidden city.
After listening to the captain's general introduction to the victory of Zhennan Pass, Zhang Wei had something to say, "The best time for us to attack is naturally when the other party has to withdraw from Wenyuan City, but if we have been standing still for the past four days, I am afraid that the Gallic team will also be highly vigilant at that time, and the effect may not be the best." ”
"So you mean we're going to keep it tickled?" Sima Fuqiang asked rhetorically, "But according to my brief observation at the time, the other party has at least two long-range attackers, using longbows and shortbows respectively, and if they harass Wenyuan City, I am afraid that there will be casualties." ”
"Wenyuan City is now full of French, the difference between the East and the West is too big, and it is impossible for us to follow the defeated French army into the city, otherwise it is very promising to take advantage of the chaos to enter the city on the 26th." This is Huang Zhi's opinion.
"How about mixing in with the Qing soldiers besieging the city?" Zhang Wei had a whim.
"This is a good solution, but I am afraid that the other side will also change into the uniform of the French army and mix with the defeated French army. In this way, while they don't recognize us, we don't recognize them either, and in the end it's still a scuffle. Sima Fuqiang had to pour cold water on him again.
The so-called "good fighters are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy", we must first ensure that our own side will not make mistakes, and do not give the other side the opportunity to defeat themselves, so that we can have the capital to consider how to seize the defeat of the locality. If you wishfully think that the other party will do everything according to your wishes, then I am afraid that the East China Sea team is not far from death.
Fortunately, the East China Sea team has three stinkers working together, each of whom looks at the problem from a different angle, and it is not necessary to say that they are complementary, but it is absolutely no problem to catch each other's loopholes.
The three of them discussed this for a whole day, and after eliminating all kinds of unstable factors, a near-foolproof plan was finally released.
