Dressed in black and holding the black flag of the Big Dipper, the Black Flag Army seemed to suddenly come out of the ground, and groups poured out of the mountains and fields, mixed with many gray clothes and other uniformed soldiers, flocked to Thang Long Mansion together, the captain hurriedly gave the order to the whole army to be on alert, ready to defend the city, although it was impossible to mobilize effectively in a hurry, but it was still effectively organized to defend, "Ready!" Soldiers! He shouted loudly, "Don't you rabble try to take Thang Long Mansion from us!" ”

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army held their shields and carried dirt bags and threw them under the city wall, obviously ready to attack the city, the soldiers on the city wall were pulling their muskets and shooting downward, but with little effect, the captain was about to give an order to let the defenders go out of the city to attack these damn French who came to attack again, but before he could give the order, the Black Flag army withdrew more than a dozen guns glowing with cold light, and the black cannon caliber went straight to the French soldiers on the city wall. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What's going on!" The French captain shouted, "How can they have artillery!" ”

"Of course we have artillery," Liu Yongfu put down the binoculars, he keenly felt the panic of the soldiers defending the city, the French have always had an advantage in weapons, if they are threatened at this point, it must have a great advantage for the battle here in Thang Long Mansion, "Pass the order, the artillery will fire three rounds in a quarter of an hour, but it can't shoot too much, and surround the three gates of Thang Long Mansion, and leave one for them to pass on the news here." "Liu Yongfu's order is very strange, the artillery should stop firing, this is obviously not to ensure that the artillery does not explode, according to Liu Yongfu's temperament, there will be no city gate to the French to deliver the news, here, there are other thoughts.

"Yes!"

He turned around and said to Tan Side, the ambassador of the Yunnan regiment on the other side, "In terms of rules, I borrowed so many artillery pieces from Xuanhua City, and I can't send you an errand, but my brothers from the Black Flag Army want to surround Thang Long Mansion, and there are about 4,000 French troops in their city, so I can't divide the troops again, so I can only let Lord Tan take care of the logistics passage to Yuen Long." ”

Tan Side was a little afraid on his face, obviously still very afraid of the French army, Liu Yongfu encouraged and said, "This is not a decisive battle, you just need to harass and keep their supplies not too smooth, we are close neighbors, I have been eating in Baosheng City, no matter how much I pit my brother, please rest assured to go." ”

"Since my lord said so, it will be impossible for the lower official to shirk it again," he knelt down and clasped his fists and saluted, "It must be disturbed that the French people can't eat well and sleep well." ”

Liu Yongfu brought the Yunnan and Sichuan regimental exercises in Xuanguang City, and the Yunnan ambassador had already led the troops and horses of the headquarters to prepare to cross the river to the north, and the Sichuan Provincial regimental training ambassador Mao Xiaohu came over and said with a big grin, "**** The fairy Banban of the French devil, Lord Liu, Lao Tzu wants to ask for his life, and rush out the turtle son in the Shenglong Mansion!" ”

"Don't worry," Liu Yongfu shook his head, "Lord Mao, now is not the time to charge, let's surround the Shenglong Mansion first and trap these French devils for a few days." ”

Mao Xiaohu couldn't help but stomp his feet, "Forget it, I've been trapped in Xuanguang City for a long time, and I haven't fought here yet, it's really boring." ”

"If you want to be angry, there is a way," Liu Yongfu did not have the slightest sense of solemnity on the eve of the decisive battle today, but was very relaxed and freehand, "This Shenglong Mansion is close to the left, I look at too many trees," Liu Yongfu smiled and said, "If Lord Mao is free, why don't you put a few fires here?" I know that the most respected thing by the Sichuan men is Zhuge Wuhou, Wuhou used to be the most proficient fire attack strategy, and Lord Mao can also give it a try. ”

Mao Xiaohu was said to be interested, and personally led the Sichuan army to practice sweeping and setting fire to the left of Thang Long Mansion, and not far away also wiped out a French reserve granary, the fire burned near Thang Long Mansion for three days and three nights, the fire reflected the red river bank, and also burned into the heart of the French army stationed in Thang Long Mansion.

On March 13 of the 10th year of Guangxu, Liu Yongfu and Yunnan-Guizhou Sichuan Tuanlian attacked Shenglong Mansion together, besieged here, shouted and killed day and night, and had the potential to attack and destroy Shenglong Mansion, the logistics transit station of the French army in Beiqi, Liu Yongfu also sent a small detachment to sneak attack and harass the logistics supply line from Shenglong Mansion to Taiyuan, Beining, and then to Langsheng, for a time the French army was shaken, and the army was faintly uneasy.

"This damn Liu Yongfu, this damn Black Flag Army," Miller, the commander of the French army who was facing the Chinese army on the Langsheng front, returned to the tent after just inspecting the front line, and before he had time to rest and take a sip of tea, the news from the rear was delivered, this is a written report, is the situation in Thang Long Mansion so dangerous that he can't report it in person? Miller was a little displeased, he looked at the report, the generals of the French army did not see the expected thunderstorm, only the deep voice of the supreme army commander of the Far East Vietnam, almost talking to himself, "I thought that his establishment had been broken up, and there should be no danger to France, but I didn't expect him to be like a messenger of Satan, hovering around us all the time, not leaving at all, and now he wants to harass us with a sneak attack." ”

"Your Excellency General," the logistics chief took the lead in speaking, "our logistics grain and grass channels must be guaranteed, now in a head-on confrontation with the Chinese large-scale corps, we cannot send forces to collect grain locally in Vietnam, and I believe that half of the soldiers cannot accept Vietnamese rice, now our logistics can only last about half a month, that is, ten days, if the logistics channel continues to be harassed, then I cannot guarantee the next military supply, this is only food, as for ammunition, Faced with fewer stocks, now the Chinese are not on the offensive, if the offensive continues, the loss of ammunition is astronomical, I am sure you know this. ”

Miller nodded, "We have to make sure that the logistics supply channels are clear, there is no doubt about that. ”

"Our army cannot be sent to the rear to maintain order," the musketeer platoon commander said quickly, "we are now almost equal to the number of Chinese combatants, but their reinforcements will definitely arrive here a little earlier than us, there is no doubt about this, most of the war needs to be the superiority of the number of soldiers to win, I can't give up any soldier who can fire bullets to serve in the logistics channel, this is a betrayal of the entire combat goal!" ”

"No," Miller said firmly, "of course we can't send soldiers, but we have other armed forces!" (To be continued.) )
