In the face of the French army's little tricks, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xuanzhu's mouth.

This little test of strength is like a wave hitting a reef in front of the army, and it will inevitably be shattered.

"Has the 1st Division and the 2nd Regiment arrived at the designated position?"

"Report to the general, the 2nd Regiment Pegasus has reported that they have marched to Qidao Bay, occupied the favorable terrain on both sides of the road, and made every effort to intercept the enemy from Hanoi to Fan, and the whole regiment swore a bloody will, even if the battle was fought to the last soldier, they would block the enemy for 12 hours and resolutely complete the task."

Major General Li Shunzhu nodded with satisfaction and ordered; "Very good, the main force of the French army in the Nord Stream camp has been captured by us, whether we can catch this big fish and eat fat depends on the performance of the brothers.

pass on my commands;

According to the rights granted to me by the king of the Yue Kingdom, those who take the lead in this battle will be given double rewards according to the law of conferring fields on military merits, and those who arrive first in the enemy formation will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

In the company with the best performance, all officers were promoted to one level, soldiers were promoted to officers, platoon commanders were promoted to company commanders, and company commanders were promoted to battalion commanders, and all were rewarded with 100 taels of silver.

In this battle, the only way to fight is to be the first, advance without retreat, and swear to kill the ghosts. ”

This order was transmitted to the whole army, which immediately caused the morale of the army to boil, and there was a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound in the army of the Yue Kingdom;

Fight bravely to be the first, advance without retreat, and swear to kill ghosts.

The bloody murderous aura condensed by tens of thousands of troops pressed over as if it were substance, and the 1,4500 North Vietnamese soldiers who were attacking in small steps collided head-on and collapsed in an instant.

Ouch mom, that's scary!

These soldiers walked forward less than 500 meters, and there was still 1 kilometer away from the Vietnamese army, and when they saw the murderous shouts of the other side, the momentum was earth-shattering, and the dense muzzles of the guns were too many to count, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

These North Vietnamese soldiers knew that they were all outcasts, so how could they still have half of their desperate thoughts?

Immediately let out a shout, dropped the gun and ran towards the sides.

This time can explode the blue tendons on General Enzo's forehead, and he commanded with a wave of his vicious hand; "Open fire and kill them all."

The three heavy machine guns on the French formation roared angrily, forming three deadly fire whips and firing wildly, and the fleeing North Vietnamese servant soldiers were knocked down by the red-hot ammunition, and blood holes were instantly dug out of their bodies, and they fell to the ground and died.

The French commander's shining saber was swung down, and a platoon of gunfire like popping beans rang out, once again harvesting a fleeing North Vietnamese soldier.

Some of the clever North Vietnamese soldiers fell to the ground in a hurry, clutching their heads and never daring to look up.

Bullets "swished" through the air overhead, and from time to time you could hear the muffled sound of "poof" drilling into the human body, which was simply a demon harvesting life, which made people feel terrified.

The other North Vietnamese soldiers who fled were just stupid, and they all rolled and fell to the ground, dodging the rain of bullets whistling in the air.

The heavy machine-gun bullets of the French Foreign Legion fired wildly, and many bullets passed over the heads of the fleeing North Vietnamese soldiers, hitting the dense columns of the Vietnamese army that was ready to attack, and from time to time some soldiers were hit by stray bullets and fell.

The unlucky soldier who was hit burst into blood and fell down with a muffled grunt, crimson blood splattering onto the faces of nearby soldiers, bodies, and even broken bone stubble.

This caused a brief riot in the ranks of the Vietnamese army, which was immediately stopped by the commander who drew his sword and shouted loudly, and calm was restored. According to the weekday training, the gap is filled by the subsequent queues in order.

Seeing this, Li Xuanzhu immediately gave an order; "5 artillery companies, target enemy heavy machine gun positions, three bursts of fire, open fire."

The 4 guns of the 5th artillery company were ready, and the two armies were only 1.5 kilometers apart, and the barrels were directly aimed at direct fire.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After three rounds of firing, a heavy machine gun position had been eliminated, and in the explosion of the fire ball, this French heavy machine gun position was blown into pieces and flew into the sky, and the stumps of the soldiers of the heavy machine gun team were scattered to the ground, which looked shocking.

The fire of the remaining two French heavy machine gun crews came to an abrupt halt, and they stood up in horror and prepared to drag the heavy machine guns away, when the fourth round of shelling followed.

After the first three rounds of calibration, three of the four guns of the 5th Company were accurately hit at this time, and in the roaring continuous explosions, the eight French officers and men of the two heavy machine gun positions were killed and wounded heavily, and the heavy machine guns were also blown into twisted rods.

How could this be acceptable to General Enzo?

This ordered the French artillery to open fire, and in an instant the battlefield was full of artillery fire, and the two sides fought together.

"Black Flag Army, attack."

Order

The band played the sonorous "March of the Infantry Regiment" (adapted from the Marseillaise), and the right flank of the Black Flag Army formed a line of about 4,000 men and pressed the enemy along the clear stream in a straggler line, and the attack began.

The reason why the Black Flag Army was chosen to take the lead in the attack was that General Li Xuanzhu had his own considerations.

The basic members of the Black Flag Army were poor peasants, mostly Guishun, Longzhou, Shangsi, Ningming, and Qinlian, and they were originally a peasant rebel army in Guangxi.

In 1865, led by Liu Yongfu, Bodou from Guangxi entered An Li Hao and Gao Ping Hao in Vietnam, and then passed through Zuo Dazhou to Lu'an Prefecture, and then developed his power to Baosheng on the Sino-Vietnamese border, and took Baosheng to Ha Duong as a base area, and was active in the northern part of Vietnam, and his power became stronger and stronger.

After experiencing the Sino-French War in the original history, the Black Flag Army was transferred to Taiwan to assist in defense, and performed a tragic and magnificent war against Japanese aggression, and in the end, most of them died generously, and only a few survived.

Today, the trajectory of history has changed;

In the Sino-French War 11 years ago, the Black Flag Army was supported by a large number of muskets and played a leading role in the bloody battle, and the team expanded after the war, reaching more than 14,000 people at its peak, with a total of 28 battalions.

The Black Flag Army was taken care of by Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, and after transferring the general soldier Liu Yongfu, he was incorporated into a strong army under his command and became the wing of the new army.

If it weren't for Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, who deliberately took care of him, allocated food on time, and sent officers of the Ocean Kingdom to strengthen training, there would be no Black Flag Army with a strength of 12,000 soldiers today.

Gu Zhiwen just picked up a coincidence, and in the trade-off between Li Fushou, the king of the Ocean Kingdom, and Gu Yanchuan, the governor of Liangguang, he was pushed out as a chess piece, and accepted the forces of northern Vietnam in its entirety, and also took over the Black Flag Army and became the new king of Yue.

So-called; There will be brave men under the great reward.

Most of the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were born in poor peasants in Guangxi, and although their equipment and food were not as good as those of the New Army, their will to fight was stronger than that of the New Army.

Now General Li Xuanzhu is going to use this sharpest spear to pierce the turtle-like defense of the French Foreign Legion, and the brave wins when the two armies meet.

In the blood-pumping "March of the Infantry Regiment", more than 4,000 officers and men of the Black Flag approached the enemy in a loose line, and after a few minutes had already walked out of a distance of more than 200 meters.

General Li Xuanzhu waved his hand and ordered; "The second formation of the Black Flag Army is attacking."

Order

The Black Flag Army array once again divided more than 4,000 people, formed a black pressure straggler line to approach the enemy's direction, carried out wave attacks, and constantly gave the French Foreign Legion strong attack pressure.

"The first division is attacking."

"The second and third divisions attacked."

With the order given, the 1st Division, which was located on the left flank, and the 2nd and 3rd Divisions, which were in the center of the army formation, each sent a regiment to press forward in a big way.

It can be seen from the height of the hillside

The Vietnamese army, which surrounded the French army on three sides, sent 14,000 people in the first attack, and pressed on all sides from three directions, forming a strong squeeze on the Nord Stream camp, which was almost twice as large as the French foreign army.

The artillery fire in the air roared back and forth and exploded in the ranks, but it could not stop the soldiers from moving forward firmly.

The 12 75mm field guns of the French Foreign Legion are a new type of body-barreled artillery, known as "Miss France", which can fire up to 18 shells per minute at a maximum speed, making it an extremely excellent army heavy firepower weapon.

On the other hand, the 27 60mm field guns that the Vietnamese army is equipped with all its might, which are also barreled artillery guns produced by the Azure Weapons Company, can reach a maximum speed of 21 shells per minute, and its outstanding performance has long been verified in previous wars.

In terms of firing range, the amount of ammunition fired per minute, and the lethal power of explosions, the French 75-mm field gun is undoubtedly ahead of the 60-mm field gun of the Ocean Kingdom, because this is the innate advantage determined by the caliber of the artillery.

If you don't believe it, drag out the 95 mm caliber "Miss Australia" and compare it, and turn the 75 mm caliber "Miss France" into slag in seconds

The French artillery had the advantage in the lethality of a single shot of ammunition and the quality of the artillery, and the Vietnamese artillery had the advantage in numbers and artillery intensity.

The Black Flag Army, which took the lead in attacking, crossed a distance of more than 500 meters, and the two armies were still about 1 kilometer apart.

"Colonel Buffon, I need you to lead the 3rd and 4th regiments to stop these flies, I'm tired of these mud legs, God, it's a bad day."

"As you wish, Your Excellency the General."

The approach of the Black Flag Army angered the French Foreign Legion, and General Enzo divided two infantry regiments, namely the 3rd Infantry Regiment and the 4th Infantry Regiment, with a total of more than 2,800 people facing the Black Flag Army head-on.

The 13th Mixed Brigade, the main force of the French army, sat in the center to meet the attacking forces of each regiment of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions of the Vietnamese Kingdom approaching from a distance.

"The 4th Infantry Regiment is attacking." Colonel Buffon gave the order, and the shiny command knife in his hand pointed forward.

More than 1,400 officers and men of the Fourth Infantry Regiment under the French Foreign Legion marched in line under the sonorous and powerful snare drums, and after marching more than 100 meters, they stopped and formed three rows of firing queues.

They could not advance too far, as that would expose the entire flank of the main position, and in order to show the glory of the French army, it was enough to advance more than a hundred meters in formation.

The French Foreign Legion was a standard line infantry tactic, with a tight and orderly formation, and it was evident that it had been trained and disciplined for a long time, and it stood still in the face of the heavy pressure of the Black Flag Army.

"Raise your gun, fire."

As soon as the French commander gave the order, the sound of a platoon of guns like bursting beans rang out intensively, and more than 460 rifles were fired together, shooting the bloody light of the straggler line of the Black Flag Army that advanced to a distance of more than 600 meters, and a piece of soldiers fell unevenly like a dog.

A drum and trumpet sounded

The soldiers of the Black Flag Army in the distance stopped in unison, and then raised the guns in their hands, and the commander fiercely pointed the bright command knife in his hand forward, and the sound of the dense row of guns exploded, which was several times stronger than the power of the French army.

The scorching bullets whistled in the air, and the locusts rushed over in dense clusters, and before the French soldiers had time to open their eyes in fear, they only heard a dense "puff ......"

I can clearly see countless blood mist bursting in the air, and half of the neat front row of the French army was instantly swept away, and more than 200 officers and soldiers were killed and wounded in this round of blows, and a group of people fell on the wilderness, blood stained the green grass, and the heavy smell of blood wafted in the air.

Sure enough, the French foreign mercenary regiment, which is worthy of being a formidable force, was still able to insist on firing the second and third rounds of guns and exchanging shots with the Black Flag Army under such a ferocious blow.

See here

The corners of Li Lianzhu's mouth couldn't help but pout a smile, and at this time, Duan Qirui, the general soldier of Guangdong, walked over and said meaningfully;

"Congratulations to the pillar brother, another hearty victory, the French army is really unwise to do this, and it is not far from a rout."

"Thank you Brother Qirui Jiyan, I think the French are defeated in their own pride, and they are still hard to carry in the face of our army's superior forces, and I will exchange two for him, and I can also make him lose all his capital."

"This kind of fighting...... Hehe, the superiority of heavy machine guns and artillery has been offset by us, and the muskets of both sides still have to see who has the stronger forces, and the Black Flag Army is quite brave, which is better than the new army. ”

"Because the Black Flag Army is poor, they can only fight for the future with their lives."

"Yes, I'm optimistic that the Black Flag Army will take the lead in making a breakthrough here, see ...... The French could not hold out. ”

really

The two sides exchanged long-range fire, and under the intensive attack of the rain of bullets, the French 4th Regiment soon suffered more than half of the casualties and had to retreat.

The 3rd Regiment of the French Foreign Legion came up again, and sure enough, the bones were hard enough, and they broke up the first wave of the Black Cavalry array with heavy casualties, and then the second wave of the Black Cavalry array crossed the former, and the first round of guns was fired with the muzzle flattened.

At this time, the heavy smoke on the battlefield had turned to a fog, obscuring the sunlight in the sky, and the 3rd French Regiment, which had suffered heavy blows again, could not hold on and retreated back to the starting position.

This greatly lifted the hearts of the approaching Black Flag Army, the saber in the commander's hand pointed forward, and the war drums behind him sounded in unison to signal a general attack.

The remaining Black Flag Army, which was less than 10,000, shouted out, and the rifles with snow-bright bayonets rushed up like a tide, launching the most tragic white-bladed charge.

The position and left flank of the Chinese army of Vietnam also launched a white-knuckle charge, and countless dense soldiers rushed towards the French Nord Stream camp one after another, and the time for the decisive battle came.

In the face of the tsunami-like shouts of the mountains, General Enzo ordered loudly, pale in his face; "Retreat, retreat."

Surrounded on three sides, their only way to retreat was to cross the clear Nord Stream and flee into the jungle.

It was already a little late to retreat, and when a large number of French soldiers jumped into the stream and trudged desperately to the opposite bank, there was a dense burst of gunfire behind them, and many French soldiers were shot and fell into the stream, and were washed down the rushing stream.

Blood stained the stream red, turning it into a river of blood.

Nord Stream is a stream more than ten meters wide, halfway deep, and it can be crossed in a minute or two on foot, which is not difficult.

But this is only in an ideal state of emptiness, if hundreds or thousands of people cross the river together, you pull me and drag whoever the doesn't want to get up quickly.

General Enzo was drenched across the stream, but when he looked back, his eyes were split, and the French soldiers who were rushing to jump into the stream were crowded, and many of the people you pushed and shoved fell into the water, blocking the path of those behind.

The hateful enemy had chased to a distance of more than 100 meters, and kept raising their guns to shoot, and the bullets knocked more French soldiers down in the stream, and the whole stream was already crimson, and the whole word "miserable" was revealed.
