Liu Yongfu shook his head and looked at the devastated Shanxi City, "I don't know what his expression is, but I know that Shanxi City is the barrier of Shenglong Mansion, and we have to retreat here, if we want to recover Shenglong Mansion in the future, I am afraid that it will be a thousand difficulties," As soon as his words fell, the herald scout came to report: "The Liangguang regiment training army has arrived in Taiyuan!" ”

Taiyuan is a city in the middle of the north bank of the Red River, there are still three days away from Beining, which is close to the left of the Red River, and it is even farther away from Shanxi City, Liu Yongfu sighed, "I can't hold it, Shanxi City is a place that can be attacked and retreated, and if I lose here, I can't threaten Thang Long Mansion, and if the two places into Vietnam take Shanxi as a related point, this coordinated operation will definitely be feasible in the future, but I'm afraid that it is, hey, it will be difficult to fight in the future."

Liu Yongfu's strategic vision is indeed good, and the battles in Vietnam in the Sino-French War in history were caused by the fall of Shanxi City, which caused the eastern and western armies to be unable to correspond to each other, and were broken by the French army. Tang Jingsong was also very helpless, "Even if they come now, they will probably command us on the north shore and watch us fight and can't intervene, after all, this is an order issued by the DPRK and China, and there is no head to fight with the legal person." ”

"There is no reason now, and there may not be no in the future," Liu Yongfu said, "so let's go to the north too!" ”

Tang Jingsong said curiously, "North? ”

"Exactly," Liu Yongfu and the French have fought repeatedly, the soldiers have been seriously damaged, he hates the French very much in his heart, and now the Black Flag Army has suffered more than half of the casualties, and it is no longer possible to fight the French alone, at this time, if you don't pull the regimental training into the water to help yourself fight the French, when will it be, "We can only take refuge in the regimental training army of the imperial court, Brother Tang, I am also the chief soldier of Qinzhou now," Liu Yongfu smiled and said, "The serious is an errand under Zeng Dashuai, and now the two Guangzhou regiments are training in Vietnam, and two more Shangguan are coming, I should go to visit, by the way, fight the autumn wind, and let the two admirals help the Black Flag Army make up for the loss, you say, isn't this reasonable? ”

Tang Jingsong comprehended, "Naturally, we will cross the river to the north immediately, maybe we can get to Bac Ninh earlier than the regimental training army, so if Guba is obsessed with the Black Flag Army halfway and wants to catch up, presumably the domestic army will also help us send Guba away." ”

The Red River is still surging and rushing through, the Black Flag Army is alone here, more than half of the soldiers have been destroyed, and they can only quickly clean up the battlefield, and then cross the river to the north, and the lonely few warships have already quickly gone downstream to prepare to respond, to prevent their imaginary army from sneak attack on the retreating French army, at this time the soldiers of the Black Flag Army already know that the so-called reinforcements are just a rumor, casualties, everyone is wounded and bleak, and they support each other to the north bank, although this battle is not a loss, But how long will it be like this? How many more times can the Black Flag Army fight the French in this kind of battle that ended in the same fate?

There was a sense of despair in everyone's hearts, even Liu Yongfu was no exception, he turned his head to look at Shanxi City in the smoke and sunset, sighed, and then stopped being nostalgic, and the army headed north.

Lone Ba's expression does not need to be guessed, it must be very exciting, Lone Ba retreated to the vicinity of the paper bridge, and sent scouts to investigate how many reinforcements came to Shanxi City, but the result was, of course, that the Black Flag Army of Shanxi City relied on a little ambush and branches to force back their own army, Shanxi City had become an empty city at this time, and the Black Flag Army fled.

He only felt that his face was hot, the adjutant and the clerk on the side, and some soldiers looked at him with strange eyes, and he could feel it, "In other words, these lowly Chinese yellow-skinned monkeys have once again played proud France?" ”

"Yes," stammered the herald, "so it seems. ”

"Good, good." The corners of his eyes were red, there were many bloodshots on his eyes, his expression was very distorted, in the eyes of the adjutant, it was as terrifying as the person who was burned at the stake in hell in the oil painting, he stepped forward to persuade, "General, it doesn't matter, according to statistics, the Black Flag Army has no ability to resist, their strength has been reduced by half or more, they no longer have to count on the formation of effective troubles for the French military operations, they can only use this kind of conspiracy to hinder the French warriors, The French offensive in Vietnam could not be changed, the Black Flag Army was crippled, so they had to abandon the city of Shantung, so we could report our victory to the Governor of Saigon! ”

"Victory?" Lone recounted it with difficulty, "Report our victory? ”

"Yes," the adjutant was obviously an excellent bureaucrat with extremely high political consciousness, several times higher than the military ability, he knew how to appease the angry Guba, he smiled and said to Guba, "Our strategic goal is to capture Shanxi City, in this case, Beiqi, the north bank of the Red River, even if the Chinese have local troops stationed on the north bank, the fall of Shanxi City, they can no longer fight together on both sides, this is a great victory for us, of course, we did not completely annihilate the enemy army, But for these black-clad devils, you have succeeded more than any previous commander, and the casualties are within an acceptable range, after all," the adjutant smiled, but his tone was very cold, "most of the deaths were those useless Vietnamese recruited from Saigon, who could be recruited from the south in a steady stream, and there was no need to worry about such casualties. ”

Gu Ba seemed to understand something, this unfavorable situation can be covered up by changing the wording, but the anger in his heart could not be vented in the report, and the adjutant obviously understood what Gu Ba wanted, "General, let's first let the Vietnamese in Shanxi City go to hell to meet Satan, and then we will take advantage of the victory to pursue, let those wounded Black Flag troops bear our anger, and if Your Excellency the General feels the need, we can launch an attack on the official Chinese army." ”

Guba once again entered Shanxi City, and in order to vent his anger, he carried out a massacre that exterminated humanity. According to a British correspondent, the French army "killed all the men, women, children, all living creatures they met." In February of the following year, a reporter from The Times went to Shanxi to cover the news, and saw that the forts and riverside villages there were "burned down by legal persons", and that "although the houses in Chengbei Village existed, there was no one there, and only the birds were singing on the rooftops."
