"Stop, stop...... Soldiers, I command you, in your capacity as generals, to stand still and not to escape. ”

General Enzo drew his sword and stood on the bank of the river, and ordered the French soldiers who had fled to the opposite bank to form a formation and shoot at the pursuing enemy, covering the French soldiers who were in chaos in the stream.

It has to be said that the French Foreign Legion is strong in combat and disciplined.

Under the repeated kicks and curses of General Enzo, he quickly assembled a rifle team of three or four hundred people, raised his guns and fired a platoon of guns at the Vietnamese soldiers who were in hot pursuit.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

At this time, the Vietnamese soldiers who were chasing all the way had chased to a distance of several 10 meters, and suddenly encountered a platoon of guns and burst out of a cloud of blood mist, and "Hulala" fell down a large area, which immediately disrupted the position of the pursuing soldiers.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

The remnants of the French Foreign Legion shot several rounds of guns with great lethality, and they really stunned the pursuers, and for a while they scattered and retreated in a panic.

In just a few minutes of delay, two or three thousand remnants of the soldiers escaped from the stream, regained a certain combat effectiveness under the organization of the officers, and began to shoot at the pursuers across the stream, buying time for the remaining companions.

"General, don't fight anymore, run quickly." Colonel Buffon ran over in embarrassment, grabbed General Enzo's arm and said.

General Enzo angrily threw off his arms and scolded; "Let go of me, you coward, go back and organize your troops to fight back, I will rely on the stream to teach them a hard lesson......"

"Don't talk about it, General, the enemy has outflanked him from upstream and downstream, and if he doesn't leave, he will be surrounded."

"Ah......h

General Enzo was only concerned with directing the battle, and when he heard this, he hurriedly looked up left and right, and his face suddenly turned white with fright.

In the upper reaches of the stream, the Black Flag Army had already crossed most of the river, and in the lower reaches of the stream, the elite 1st Division of the Yue Kingdom had at least one regiment of troops crossing the stream and was outflanking the middle.

Think about it

The two armies on the left and right flanks were originally attacking along the stream, and the French foreign legions fled across the stream in a swarm, so it was naturally convenient for them to pursue across the stream, but General Enzo did not pay attention.

"Oh God, we must turn into ...... at once"

Colonel Buffon saw the enemy troops on the other side of the stream, and raised his guns again, frightened and frightened, and hid behind General Enzo in a flash.

Almost at the same time as he dodged, there was a muffled sound of "puff ......", and a large cloud of blood mist rose from the ranks of the French soldiers, and a group of soldiers fell.

Colonel Buffon was empty in front of him, and he looked at it in shock, General Enzo's scraped general's uniform was cut by a bullet, and the blood gurgled outward.

General Enzo's gray-blue eyes looked weakly at the sky, and his throat was foaming blood, and he was speechless.

"Your Excellency, what else do you command?" Colonel Buffon put his ear out of his head and nodded; "Don't worry, I will follow your orders and bring the troops out of danger."

Then he quickly stood up and commanded; "Soldiers, I have been authorized by the general to command this force, and now I need you to stay and stop the enemy army and buy time for the main force to retreat, and the others will retreat with me."

One of the captains of the French Foreign Legion, who was the first to occupy the shore and shoot at hostile fire, was ordered to command the remaining less than 200 men to block the pursuers, and the others all followed Colonel Buffon towards the jungle in the distance.

From time to time, a volley of gunfire rang out behind him, knocking the fleeing French soldiers to the ground, rolling and moaning in pain.

The battle lasted only about an hour, and the entire 7,200 soldiers of the supposedly impregnable French Foreign Legion were crushed.

Such a brilliant record greatly encouraged the Vietnamese army.

It turned out that these ghosts also had their hands and feet, and they also carried a head on their shoulders, and they would die if they were shot, and after the fear in their hearts dissipated, the soldiers became more and more confident, and began to chase the French deserters all over the mountains.

You must know that there is a reward for killing or capturing the white guy alive, 30 taels a tael, double the captain, double the school officer, and the price of the dead or alive is the same.

So it's not the French soldiers who are running around the mountains, it's all money!

Especially the Black Flag Army's pursuit of the most, these Guangxi mountain people are also poor, where are they willing to let go of the opportunity to make a lot of money?

From time to time, I could see my companions in front of me escorting the depressed French soldiers back, smiling from ear to ear.

That one is in a hurry!

I really want to make hot wheels in my feet, and I sneak to the front.

The battle report came quickly

More than 2,400 French troops were killed and wounded in the battle of the Nord Stream camp and more than 1,300 were captured.

There is no doubt that this is a complete victory.

In this battle, the Black Flag Army suffered the heaviest casualties, with more than 3,700 casualties and more than 1,650 casualties among the rest of the units, and captured 12 French 75mm guns, 4 Marco heavy machine guns, and countless other military horses.

From this, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the French Foreign Legion is indeed good.

The French commanders were too arrogant, I really don't know if they were stupid or out of the pride of the French soldiers, and gave up holding on to the wooden camp to take the initiative to meet the enemy, even if the camp was bombed to tatters, it was more or less cover, and it was much better than carrying bullets in the flesh.

Li Xuanzhu didn't care about the casualties of the army, the casualties of more than 5,000 people were completely bearable for the army of 40,000, and the poor mountain people of Guangxi were not afraid of sacrifice at all.

This battle has given the whole army a shot in the arm and brought out the spirit and self-confidence that the officers and men once lost, which is very rare.

As long as it is tempered by a few bloody battles, it will soon be able to pull up a strong army.

Most of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Yue Nation were ordered to return soon after pursuing the stream, and after a little rest and some dry food, they marched in the direction of Hanoi, preparing to make persistent efforts to defeat the reinforced enemy and enter the city of Hanoi.

Orders came from above;

Kill into the city of Hanoi, do not seal the knife for three days, but do not burn buildings, do not kill Chinese, violators of the order beheaded!

When this order came, the whole army was really screaming, and the murderous rush all the way to Hanoi.

Hanoi direction

The reinforced French troops, marching along dirt roads, had no end in sight in the long queues, the French flags in the ranks were flying high, and the morale was quite good.

These soldiers have been here for a month or two, and they have long been seven or eight months, and they have already adapted to the hot climate of South Asia, and in March there were already 256 degrees Celsius, and the air was humid and muggy.

In the shade of trees on the side of the road

Lieutenant General Léo-Fernandez, commander of the French Expeditionary Force, wearing a straight general uniform and white gloves on his hands, rode on a white thoroughbred Arabian horse with no variegated body, and impatiently took out his pocket watch and glanced at it; "Hell, our march is still slow, the battle ahead is going on intensely, continue our troops."

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, our troops set out at the command of the order, and now there is ...... It's been nearly three hours, and after crossing the Qidaowan area in front of me, I have approached the Nord Stream camp, and the movements are quite fast, and everything is under control. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Bullock, what I'm thinking about now is not this, but the Foreign Legion garrison of the United Nord Stream battalion will be swept up in the past, and this will be completely ended, so that those mud-legged people can taste the power of bayonets."

"Your Excellency, Honorable Commander, in this case, it is even more necessary to consider the rational distribution of physical strength, the young men marching in the sun for three hours are too expensive, and they must be repaired."

"Arrive at the Nord Stream camp and repair, I hear the gunfire in front of me gradually calming down, and I always have a bad premonition, oh God, General Enzo won't wipe out all the enemies, right?"

"It's very likely, maybe we'll make a trip for nothing." Lieutenant Colonel Bullock shrugged regretfully, his words revealing a thick arrogance.

Lieutenant General Leo Fernandez heard this, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth; "That's a shame, these abominable cockroaches hurt me to get up from the comfort of my bed early in the morning, and I won't spare them."

Several high-ranking generals were talking, and a chaotic gunfire came from in front of them, which immediately attracted their attention.

"Damn, who's shooting?"
