Giving away someone's head? This is indeed a possibility, but Claude knew that if he did not escape while the Russian army's firepower was not so strong, it would be even more dangerous after a while.
Anyway, he just ran away and didn't care whether Lucien followed or not. For him, there was nothing he could do if Lucien didn't follow him. Anyway, he couldn't stay where he was with Lucien.
It's just that Lucien had doubts, but his mobility was really good. Following Claude, he was running like crazy. The taller and the shorter were jumping around on the battlefield like little rabbits.
Jumping from crater to crater.
But don't tell me, this trick is really effective. Even if there is a hail of bullets outside, these two people are not even injured.
"My dear, you scared me to death!" Lucien complained with lingering fear while panting, "Just now a bullet pierced my sleeve, I was almost dead!"
Claude rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aren't you still alive and well? You will die faster if you stay where you are!"
This is not unreasonable, because just after the two of them ran away, the other soldiers of Baudouin's company also fled in all directions when they saw that the momentum was not right. Many of them attracted the Russian firepower to the position where they were before.
For a moment, bullets and cannonballs fell down as if they were free, and a few people who moved a little slower were torn into pieces in an instant. If they stayed where they were, they would probably be in trouble!
However, even in this case, they were not completely safe. From time to time, bullets flew over their heads, or artillery shells exploded near them.
"What now?" Lucien asked in fear.
"Wait!" Claude replied with a straight face.
The easiest thing in the world is to wait, but the hardest thing is also to wait. Especially when you see your robes being slaughtered continuously, waiting at this time is a kind of torture.
It's just that Claude is determined and unaffected by external disturbances. He is like a precise machine, meticulously following the predetermined procedure.
Finally, when the gunfire on the battlefield gradually subsided and the smoke gradually dissipated, he once again pushed Lucien, who was about to fall asleep next to him: "Don't be stunned and retreat!"
There are very few people who can safely withdraw from the front line. Most of them are disgraced or simply carried away on stretchers. People like Lucien and Claude are sweating a little too much at most.
It's an anomaly.
But they were not the only ones who were "lucky". This guy Baudouin actually had to withdraw completely. What was even more annoying was that this guy was still there arrogantly giving orders, which made it difficult for him to do so.
It seems that everyone was able to withdraw because of his skillful command.
"You two guys, stop here!"
Baudoin has not forgotten the previous unpleasantness. He has long made up his mind to deal with Claude and Lucien.
Baudouin put his hands on his hips and yelled arrogantly: "You two scum, damn bastards, bastards who ran away from battle! Do you think you will not be punished? Let me tell you, there is no such thing, I will make you forever
Remember the consequences of not following orders!"
Lucien's face suddenly changed. He knew that Baudouin was a bastard, but he really didn't expect that this guy could be such a bastard. Although they were a bit disrespectful on the battlefield before, the problem is that no one gave you face.
!Why do you just hold on to us?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Claude next to him with a grimace, hoping that this smart friend would find a way quickly. He didn't want to go to jail, let alone be shot!
However, Claude, who had high hopes from Lucien, seemed not to realize the seriousness of the problem at all, and was completely indifferent to Baudouin's threat. Instead, he frequently turned his head to observe the situation of the Russian army's positions.
This was completely incomprehensible to Lucien. He had already broken away from the Russians, so why did he still watch them do so far away? If they didn't find a way to deal with Baudouin quickly, the two of them would really go to jail!
Just when Baudouin kept threatening and scolding and Lucien was anxious to get angry, Claude suddenly moved, and he flew to the ground like a dog chewing mud, shouting: "Cannon attack! Get down!"
"
This voice came so suddenly that almost no one could react because they heard nothing except Lucien who had been observing Claude's movements. He jumped out almost at the same time as Claude flew out.
"You two bastards!"
Baudouin was furious. He didn't believe there was any bombardment. It was clearly Claude and Lucien who didn't take him seriously. He was just about to rush up and grab the two brothers when something came to his ears.
A sharp whistling sound.
They were all familiar with this sound. It was the Russian mortar firing. This kind of shell would make a sharp whistling sound when it fell. He was so frightened that he could no longer care about Lucien and Claude, and hurriedly jumped into a
Bomb Crater covered his head and hid.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three artillery shells hit the French army. The French army, which had just withdrawn from the front line and was lucky to save their lives, never expected that the Russian army would suddenly bombard them. Unprepared, they were blown up on the spot and were knocked down and crying.
mother.
"Let's go! Don't be stunned!"
Claude jumped up and kicked Lucien and walked away immediately. The latter was stunned and immediately followed him, asking in a low voice: "Didn't Baudouin say to gather first?"
"What's the point of gathering? Waiting for the Russians to kill us all? Didn't the shelling just wake you up? This place is still within the range of the Russian army, and it's not safe at all!"
As soon as he heard that it was unsafe, Lucien immediately followed Claude with his tail between his legs. This made Baudouin, who had been observing them, so angry that he crawled out of the crater and rushed towards the two men.
The figure roared from behind:
"Asshole, I order you to stop! Stop immediately!"
Who would have thought that Claude shouted: "Run! The Russians are coming!"
After shouting, he took the lead and ran away. Don't tell me that this voice was a big deal. The French army, who was originally frightened, suddenly only hated his parents for having two legs, and ran away like a swarm of bees.
"That guy will definitely not be able to spare you," Lucien said to Claude as he ran, "his face is turning green with anger!"
Claude said nonchalantly: "Let him!"
Lucien asked worriedly: "What will we do if he creates trouble afterwards?"
"Then he must be able to leave here alive," Claude replied scornfully. "Besides, I told you that I have connections with the military police... Besides, I refuse to admit it. This is completely wrong.
What can he do to me? Anyway, when asked later, just tell me that it was his order that made us retreat..."
