Fifty-six, the wind and the crane (3)
The French adjutant is about to enter the seemingly undefended Shanxi City, after all, if you fight in the streets, one more strength, then one more chance of victory, anyway, the last means of the Black Flag Army have been shown, obviously, their tricks are completely useless, and the artillery on the Red River continues to shoot at both sides of the north gate, ensuring that the useless Chinese will continue to ambush in these places.

"The abominable Black Flag Army has finally been defeated," the adjutant shook his fist vigorously, "the glory of France, the grace of God, will soon shine on this city!" ”
Although he was excited, he still carefully observed the surroundings with a telescope, to be vigilant against the Black Flag Army's counterattack before he died, he couldn't be careless, he looked at the south gate and the east gate, there was no problem on both sides, so what about the north gate? He turned the telescope and saw the warship on the Red River, only to see the commander on it waving the herald flag vigorously, very quickly, as if with a little anxiety, the soldier reading the flag on the side swallowed his saliva vigorously, and stammered to the adjutant, "The flag says that there is a situation in the north." ”
"Is there a situation in the north?" The adjutant quickly calmed down from the excitement, "What's the situation," he set up a telescope and crossed the small warships lined up, and saw the north bank of the Red River, and there were many big trees planted on the river beach on the north bank, which were densely covered from the north bank, and there was no movement at all, but suddenly, there was a noise in the forest, and countless birds seemed to be disturbed, fluttering their wings and flying into the air, and it seemed that there was a huge or extremely large number of something moving in the forest, Dust slowly spread from the trees. It seems that a terrifying beast is about to wake up.
"Really?" The adjutant's eyes as blue as the Mediterranean Sea contracted suddenly, "Could it be! ”
Tang Jingsong sat in the room, dealt with the last thing, stood up, and reported to the soldiers, "The marshal has led the brothers and the French to start a street fight, my lord, it's not safe here, the marshal let us send you out of the city first." ”
"No," Tang Jingsong opened the door and walked out, the gunfire outside became more and more deafening, "I, Tang, am in this place, I want to live and die with the soldiers of the Black Flag Army, this little danger is nothing, and now we still want to strengthen the city as a reliance, compared to the scene of the paper bridge, I don't know how many times better." ”
"Report! The French troops at the north and east gates have already entered the city! ”
This is definitely not a situation that is conducive to the Black Flag Army, Tang Jingsong's face was heavy, but what he said made the people present very excited, and the originally low mood suddenly had a little glimmer of hope, which seemed to ignite people's hope in the darkness, "Lord General and I have already prepared, rest assured, there are reinforcements in the north!" ”
"Reinforcements ??!??!" The soldiers of the Black Flag Army said loudly, "Lord Tang, are you telling the truth?!" ”
"Nature is true!" Tang Jingsong said slowly, "If it weren't for reinforcements, do you think I would stay in the city with peace of mind?" Send the order down and tell the marshal that as long as he holds on for an hour, reinforcements from the north will surely cross the river! ”
"No matter how good the French warships are, they can't leave the army here to fight alone, our Black Flag Army is the head snake here, as long as they cross the Red River," Tang Jingsong said wisely and calmly, "The inside and the outside should be combined, how many French people will die in this Shanxi city!" ”
"Reinforcements?"
"Yes! Reinforcements! Liu Yongfu brandished his waist knife to command the Black Flag Army fighting in the alley, and said confidently, "Do you think those Dian Army, Gui Army, and Guangdong Army sent by the imperial court are all doing food and not work?" It's been ready for a long time! Just waiting for the French to take the bait! It's like on a paper bridge," Liu Yongfu took the lead, cutting down a French soldier to the ground with a knife, full of energy, "Brothers, cheer me up, when the time comes, this lonely head, whoever cuts it will be the same as Li Wei, and he will have to be sealed and guarded!" Don't tell me, you don't want this official! ”
"What I don't want is my grandson!" There are high-ranking officials lured by Houlu, and the power of foreign aid is supporting, and there are some unwilling to lose face in front of the domestic army, the original depressed morale of the Black Flag Army was stimulated again, Li Wei rolled up the injury on his left arm, and stopped the blood flowing out, "Brothers, if the domestic officials outside drink the soup, what is our Black Flag Army?" He slammed a shot, waved his hand, looked firm, and shouted, "Let's go together, kill all the French devils here, and let's go and take that lonely dog's head together!" ”
"Up! Follow Li Tou'er! This person's death is small, but losing face is a big matter! Several people rushed to the front together, braving the rain of bullets, and started a fight with the French army, "If the people in China underestimate the Black Flag Army, what use do we have!" ”
Speaking of the advantages of the terrain and terrain, this is definitely on the side of the Black Flag Army, even in the case of the large number of French troops, the elusive street fighting still caused great trouble to the advance of the French, although the three gates were attacked by the French army, but the staggered streets and traps greatly slowed down the speed of the march, and the melee and fighting caused difficulties to the use of muskets, and the shooting would cause accidental injuries to the comrades, so it could only rely on white-knuckle combat.
The tragedy of the battle is far better than the battle of the paper bridge, many years later, Li Wei recalled this battle, still shuddering, at this time Li Wei did not know what the final battle situation was, or rushed to the front, killed more than ten French troops, and rushed towards the south gate.
Although Gu Ba said that he was the first soldier, but he would not have the opportunity to fight at all, after personally commanding the capture of the gap in the south city gate, he stood in the fortifications in front of the city gate to rest, listening to the situation from everywhere, Li Wei and others rushed out, and the pro-soldiers and guards who had been prepared for a long time lined up in three rows, and fired volleys in turn, and forced Li Wei and others back at once, Gu Ba is a very mature military commander, he frowned slightly, at this time the Black Flag Army should have no desire to fight, Why is there such a fierce combat intent? It is impossible for any army to carry out a suicidal attack in the unlikely event of victory.
So, what's going on?
"Your Excellency, General!" Gu Ba's question didn't wait long, but after a while, the herald anxiously came to report, "A large number of unknown groups have been found in the north!" Attempts against us! (To be continued.) )
