"What's so good about the lightning cannon, let's discuss and analyze the matter seriously," Chu Yunfei said with a smile, his hand pulled Feng Zicai away like an octopus, Feng Zicai looked at the lightning cannons covered with oilcloth and showed a very unwilling expression, "Horizontal and vertical is an iron lump, you don't understand, we will only use this thing, there are not many people who can cultivate, there are only a dozen people here, people who can make it, in a foreign country." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Now I can't let you see, if you alarm the French, it's going to be bad, if you want to see it, then I'll let you hit this lightning cannon, I'm afraid that if you hit a few times, you won't be able to stand it, this lightning cannon I think it can be renamed 'lightning cannon', ouch that voice is noisy, the ears are deaf, but if you fight the French devils, bring energy! ”

The three of them left and went to the tent of the Chinese army together, Chu Yunfei was still talking about things outside, praising the performance of the Cui army in the battle of Langshan, it was completely possible to directly make up for the new army without accepting any assessment, Feng Zicai was silent, but he was very proud inside, this is also his own planning, these people have a good way out, and it is not in vain to take them out like this, but when he thinks of the new army, he still has a plan, but it is not easy to mention it at this time.

Fang Hongyi looked at the sand table and shook his head, "The time hasn't come yet, it's been raining these days, the ground is muddy and not dry, these mud people just walk and fall, if it's a march, it's not good." ”

"The baggage is not successful," Chu Yunfei continued, "The lightning cannon is the heaviest, and there are various cannons such as breech guns and breech guns, which are the heaviest, and the Vietnamese prisoners can use them, but the roads are muddy, and it is not fast to use them, our baggage is not good, and the French are not good at it, but in Vietnam, now our firepower is more superior, and we abandon our strengths and do not use them, which does not meet the requirements of the art of war." ”

"It's been sunny today," Feng Zicai knows how to read the sky, "The sky is clear at sunset today, there are no fish scale clouds, and it should still be sunny tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

"It's too late tomorrow," Chu Yunfei estimated, "The contact between the various armies is not in place, and if the deployment is arranged today, it will not be able to completely arrive at the specified location tomorrow and make the prescribed preparations." ”

Fang Hongyi held his chin with his hand and pondered, "This place is completely different from Beihai, Beihai only needs to consider the temperature, and what needs to be considered here is whether the weather is raining or not, no matter what, recently we have to prepare small-scale attacks on French positions from time to time, so that the soldiers can practice their hands and prepare to warm up." ”

Chu Yunfei nodded and obeyed the order, and the confidential clerk in charge of military intelligence entered the big tent here, "Marshal, Lord Zuo is sending a telegram in the middle of the line." ”

Wherever the Empress Dowager Cixi went, it was called Xingzai, Fang Hongyi stood up and took the telegram, "The imperial drive will be stationed in Nanning on March 28. ”

"Twenty-eight?" Fang Hongyi repeated the days and put down the telegram, "Nanning, it's already very close to here. Zuo Dashuai's previous telegram hinted that the Western Holy Master might come to the front line, but now it seems that it is very likely to be true! ”

"Come to the front!" Feng Zicai was shocked, he had heard that the Empress Dowager Cixi had indeed come to Bali Bridge to inspire the soldiers before, but she had never heard of the lord of a country coming to the front line in person, of course, those emperors who were born on war horses could not be compared, no matter how wise and decisive the Empress Dowager was, it was only a woman. This is by no means disrespectful, compared with those stupid emperors before the Empress Dowager Cixi, her wisdom and decisiveness lies in never interfering in how to fight on the front line, she herself used to admit that if she is in the military, it is enough to manage logistics, and if you want to be the commander and strategize, or a staff counselor in military affairs, you can't.

Sometimes being honest about one's shortcomings is more respectable, "It's impossible to come to the front line, but it's possible to come to Langsheng," Chu Yunfei shook his head, he didn't agree with the words of coming to the front, "The Queen Mother and her old man can come to Langsheng, but when she comes to Langsheng, it is impossible for Langsheng to continue to be the front line." ”

Feng Zicai suddenly realized that Chu Yunfei's words seemed to be a tongue twister, but it explained one point, according to Zuo Zongtang's inference, the Empress Dowager Cixi drew a point in time, that is, the new army must win the battle against France when the Empress Dowager Cixi came to Langsheng, so that Langsheng would become the rear and no longer the front line.

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi does not interfere in the way of fighting on the front line, she will definitely influence politics by deciding to control the scale and time of the war, "This is also the proper meaning of the question," Fang Hongyi said, "I may have to wait a little before, but now that the new lord of Vietnam is canonized, the people's hearts are unstable, and a big war is needed to fight the male and female, and decide who is Zhengshuo, Lao Chu," he instructed Chu Yunfei, Chu Yunfei stood up solemnly, the cynical smile on his face disappeared, and he obeyed orders seriously, "The third army and the fourth army of the left army will be dispatched in two days, When you arrive at the designated location, you will immediately build the fortifications. The fortifications built before, let the reserve regiment practice on the top, you don't care, the lightning cannon also let you take it, well, according to the plan agreed with the staff before, if the French army wants to break through, it will never want to go north, there are many hills in the west, and it should not go back, you can only go south, or go east to reach Langzhuang Lake and then turn south, you are the top priority, there must be no slack, if the defense line there is broken up, then it will be more difficult to recover the whole work. ”

"The subordinates understand," Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice, "Now that the banquet has been prepared for so long, the abalone, shark fin and sea cucumber have all been put on the table, and when they are about to have a big meal, suddenly a pot of raw rice comes to finish, and the face of the new army is about to be lost, even if the subordinates die, they must hold the defensive line, and they will never let the French rush over easily." ”

"That's what I'll give to you," Fang Hongyi nodded, "Li Dutong of the Ninth Town, when he completes the established plan, I will order him to come and assist you." ”

"Lord Li's temperament," Chu Yunfei touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "I'm afraid you can't command." ”

"It's okay," Fang Hongyi was obviously very good-tempered, very gentle, and said with a smile, "Although he doesn't like to talk, his temperament is not bad, of course, our enemy body and official position are the same, and they can't compare to the size, but Lord Zuo, he has already set off from Langshan, and he can get to Langsheng in one or two days!" ”

"The day Lord Zuo arrives, it is the time when our army is dispatched," Fang Hongyi nodded, "When the time comes, all the departments agree to act, and the French must not be allowed to escape easily, in the past, Han Xin set up an ambush on ten sides, and defeated the Chu army in one fell swoop to achieve the four-hundred-year foundation of the Han Dynasty, if this war can also have such an effect, what are we afraid of?"
