Fifty-year-old Major General Elstonefen is a military expert who grew up in the Napoleonic Wars!

After the defeat of Emperor Napoleon, he was sent to India by his old boss, the Duke of Wellington, because of his military achievements. I stayed in India for more than ten years, during which I beat many princes who dared to resist the British Empire.

It is also because of his prestige that his boss George . Corton left him in Peshawar and asked him to lead two regiments of Anglo-Indian infantry to take good care of the logistics center of the army—Peshawar is located in the Gandhara Basin, surrounded by dense population and developed agriculture, and it is relatively easy to raise a little military rations. It is also the choke point for trade to Central Asia, facing the famous Khyber Pass.

It can be said that as long as Peshawar is held, even if the British and Indian armies are defeated in Afghanistan, British India will be safe and sound.

However, in the opinion of Major General Elstonefen, who was in charge of Peshawar, holding Peshawar was probably the easiest and most boring task in military history. It is almost 300 miles away from Kunduz, and it is still separated by natural dangers such as Salang Pass and Khyber Pass, and those backward feudal armies of the Jin Kingdom, which are almost still in the Middle Ages, will not be able to cross the Salang Pass and Khyber Pass to Peshawar at all...... Unless they can fly!

Of course, although Peshawar is far enough away from the front line, Major General Elstonefen still feels that it should be deployed here...... Peshawar was a Celestial city after all, and the East India Company had never ruled Peshawar before that.

Moreover, the inhabitants of Peshawar and the people of the Afghan plateau are the same people, they have always been martial and aggressive, and they have always been a nightmare for Indians!

In addition, not far east of Peshawar is the territory of the Sikh Empire. The one who single-handedly created the empire. Singer is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Although he sided with the British Empire this time, he sent 20,000 Sikh troops to participate in the expedition to Afghanistan. But who knows if the princely monarch who ruled over a large part of the northwestern part of India would do something crazy at the instigation of some great northern power?

Therefore, Major General Elstoneffen not only deployed defenses in Peshawar City and Khyber Pass, but also in the east and south of the Gandhara Basin, and also had telegraph and telephone lines drawn between Peshawar and Kabul, which can be said to be foolproof.

After the military deployment was completed, Major General Elsfinton and his white officers were of course going to enjoy life...... So when dusk came, the spirits of Major General Elsfinton, who had spent most of the day listlessly in his office, had already risen!

Because tonight, the governor of Peshawar (sent by the emir of Afghanistan) Abbas. Khan will arrange a Persian banquet for the officers of the command, including Elsfinton...... There will be dancing girls from Persia performing belly dances, and there will be slave girls from Central Asia to serve, which is really exciting!

Thinking of the wonderful nightlife, His Excellency the Major General Commander was a little looking forward to the sun setting soon. Unable to wait, he got up from behind his desk, walked to the window, pushed open the carved wooden window, and looked out.

The headquarters of Major General Elsfintun was located in the Peshawar fortress in the city of Peshawar, which was a white stone fort left over from the Mughal period, which was not only strong, but also very beautiful. Looking out of the window of the Major General's office, you can see not only the spacious courtyard inside the fortress, but also the towering stone watchtower and the outer wall of the fortress.

The setting sun shone on the white stone walls, stone towers, and an oval white UFO, creating a dazzling golden light......

UFO?

What is that?

Elsfunton suddenly realized that something was wrong, how could there be a UFO floating dozens of feet above the castle stone wall? Is that...... An airship? Whose airship is it?

As soon as he thought of this, he was in disbelief, when two ropes suddenly hung down from under the white airship, all the way to the top of the city wall, and then he saw two big men in yellow coats, dogskin hats, holding a large blade in one hand and ropes in the other, sliding down from the cabin of the airship!

This scene is really a bit magical, two "yellow coats" wielding large blades, from an airship to carry out the rappelling ...... Is this advanced or backward?

While Elsfunton was pondering this strange question, the crackling gunshots were already ringing out!

It was not the Anglo-Indian sentries guarding the walls of the fortress that were firing, but the airship soldiers on the airships sniping the Anglo-Indian and Argentine soldiers with rifles. Although the fight was not very accurate, he still stunned the "third brothers" below, and even forgot to counterattack for a while, only knowing to flee in all directions.

The sound of machine gun fire and bomb explosions also rang out, and it was the airship that fired and dropped the bombs.

There is more than one airship in the sky above the Peshawar fortress at this moment! Instead, seven or eight ships came up at the same time, but only one was rappelling, and the other airships were dropping bombs and firing machine guns at a higher position to suppress the fire of the defenders of the fort.

In addition, over several streets around the fort, there are also several airships on a rope landing mission, and the Daikin naval airborne troops who have landed there will be responsible for blocking and temporarily blocking the British reinforcements.

......

Dajin Admiralty Shangshu, Pingxi King Wu Fax had already jumped to the wall of Peshawar Castle with a roar, and then waved the big knife in his hand and pounced on a stunned Indian soldier.

"Wow, a certain family is Pingxi Wang Wu Fax, who dares to come and fight to the death with a certain family...... Syllable! ”

This Wu Fax is really powerful, while shouting that he wants to fight with people, he secretly took out the "barge gun", and then shook his hand is a "snap" shot, and shot the head of Ah Sanbing who hadn't reacted yet!

Seeing that this airborne soldier wearing an ancient costume and holding a broadsword seemed to be very powerful, the other two "third brothers" who were stunned by the surprise attack finally reacted, picked up the rifle with a bayonet in their hand, and rushed up while trembling and pulling the bolt. Two against one, this is not afraid, right?

"Wow, look at the knife...... Syllable! Syllable! ”

With a wave of the big blade, Wu faxed two more shots and sent the two "third brothers" to the western sky. I have to say that his Wu family's knife technique is still very powerful, and in the blink of an eye, he has already put down the three "third brothers", and they are all one-trick to defeat the enemy, and the other party doesn't even have a chance to fight back.

is the so-called martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken, no matter how fast the martial arts are, it is not as fast as the gun!

On the walls of Peshawar Castle, there was more than one Wu Fax, and the golden horse-robed heavenly soldiers who descended with the king of Pingxi were all good hands, and they were called "Bayala" according to the Manchu language that was about to be lost, and they were also called white-armored soldiers. They are all the best Manchurian warriors, and they were the ones who protected Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dolgon in the past. Later, King Zhuge Wuzhong "cut a stubble of leeks", and then "grown" out and ran away to Wuji Valley in the Western Regions with Kangxi, and evolved in Wuji Valley...... Now they're all sharpshooters!

And when it comes to Wu Fax's generation, it is even more powerful, with double cultivation of knives and guns (shell guns), and a grenade in his waist, he is really unstoppable!

Wu Fax is not the only one who is unstoppable, who is not unstoppable in the "yellow coats" that have descended from the umbrella? I only saw them like divine soldiers descending from the sky, with a big knife in one hand and a shell gun in the other, and when I saw the "third brother" appear, they were shot with guns at a distance, and they were slashed with knives when they were close, and there were airship soldiers in the sky who fired with rifles. The "third brothers" staggered and screamed.

And where have those "third brothers" seen such fierce opponents? In the panic, he forgot to aim, and he couldn't even pull the bolt of the gun. And the new bass rear-loading gun in their hand can't be fired continuously, they have to pull the bolt with one shot, and they are not at all the opponent of the twenty-four barge pistol at close range - they only fired one shot on their side, and they have already fired several shots in succession, where is this opponent?

To make matters worse, most of the British and Indian soldiers guarding the fort were waiting for dinner in two canteens (one Hindu and the other Celestial) while the white officers were preparing for dinner. Only a few Anglo-Indian soldiers standing guard could enter the battle, but their numbers were small, and they were suddenly stunned by a sneak attack......
