At the end of October, although there was bright sunshine during the day, at night, the temperature difference between day and night was very large. The cold wind hit me at night, and the cold wind hurt my face. On such a cold night, an army appeared in Agartala West A location ten miles away.
This army is fully armed.
The person leading the army was none other than Prawangdin, who had only been emperor for a short time.
In this raid on the city of Agartala, Prawandin led a division of more than 10,000 troops to attack, ready to deal with Li Zhen once and for all. As long as Li Zhen is captured, his reputation will be huge, and then it will be over. The British in the valley also had to treat him respectfully. The army advanced under the darkness of night. Prawanddin and Singh followed the central army.
Prawandin was riding a horse, wearing a thick cotton robe and a black cloak. He looked at Singh who was following him and asked: "My dear, have you made arrangements for Agartala's spy?"
Singer looked calm and replied: "Replying to your Majesty, everything has been arranged. As soon as we arrive, the gatekeeper will open the city gate to welcome us in. At that time, we will launch a sudden attack, and there will be no soldiers in the city to resist." , Li Zhen must have nowhere to escape, Yi Chen speculated that one hour would be enough to end the war."
"well."
Prawangdin grinned, revealing his big yellow teeth.
Singer changed the topic and continued: "Your Majesty, I think we can definitely catch Li Zhen this time, but I kindly ask your Majesty not to kill Li Zhen after catching Li Zhen."
"Oh, why."
Prawandin reined in his horse, stopped and stared at Singh.
In Prawangdin's view, after catching Li Zhen, he must be executed to cause civil strife in China. Moreover, only by executing Li Zhen can he maximize his prestige.
Singh rubbed his cold hands and said: "Your Majesty, we were able to defeat Li Zhen because there were not enough Chinese troops entering India and it accounted for the surprise attack. In a real contest with the Chinese army, the outcome is unknown. Several, if Li Zhen is killed, it will certainly cause civil strife in China, but it will also arouse China's hatred. Once China's new leader comes to power, he will definitely raise troops to avenge Li Zhen. If we kill Li Zhen, first of all They will be hated by the Chinese army and suffer a fatal blow."
After a pause, Singer continued: "By keeping Li Zhen alive, we can threaten China and prevent China from sending troops to attack. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Prawandin pondered and said: "After winning, if Li Zhen is obedient and obedient, I will spare his life. If he seeks his own death, then you can't blame me."
After hearing this, Singer's heart suddenly sank.
I'm afraid they will still have to kill him when the time comes, but persuasion is useless now. We will wait until Li Zhen is actually captured. The army continues to advance. Singer is always paying attention to the changes in the surrounding situation.
…
East of Agartala, eight miles away.
This place is a hilly area, with mountains everywhere, twists and turns, and many trails. After Li Zhen got the news from Xi Yinglong that Prawang Din sent troops, he quietly moved outside the city and met with At the same time, the troops under Li Zhen also began to gather outside the city one after another. Within a few days, the entire strength of a division had arrived.
Zhang Zhidong directed tens of thousands of people to perform on the front line. Although there were many soldiers, most of the soldiers were converted from the major forces in Nagaland, as well as soldiers from the three major states.
The soldiers in Li Zhen's hands are the regular Chinese army.
In the headquarters, an oil lamp was lit.
Geniya, Mayor Nehru of Agartala City in Tripura, and Guo Songtao all gathered in the command post. Li Zhen looked serious and said: "I just got the news that a group led by Prawandin The division's troops are already approaching the city of Agartala and are expected to arrive in about half an hour."
Guo Songtao was full of energy and said: "After waiting for such a long time, the wait is finally here."
Genia said: "President, I request to join the war."
Li Zhen smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "You should stay with me. Without you, no one will act as an interpreter for me." After a pause, Li Zhen looked at Guo Songtao and ordered: "According to the original plan, the army will set off, and we will take it tonight." Down to Prawanteng.”
"yes,."
Guo Songtao nodded and immediately went to prepare.
…
At one o'clock in the morning, Prawandin led his army to appear quietly outside the city of Agartala. Prawandin rode on a horse and took a look at the large city before looking at Singh and nodded.
Singer immediately ordered to go down, and soon, torches were lit among the soldiers.
The fire filled the sky, dispelling the darkness.
After the torches appeared outside the city, the officials guarding the city on the city tower knew that the people waiting for them were coming. The officials immediately ordered the soldiers to flash torches to communicate with each other, and then opened the city gate.
"Crunch,."
After the city gate was opened, a city in Nuoda was exposed to Prawandin's army.
Prawangdin looked at the city wall, his mood was agitated, and he shouted: "Li Zhen is in the city, go in and capture Li Zhen alive." The gun in his hand was pointed at the city, and his soldiers immediately rushed in. The first group to enter was After this group of pioneer soldiers under Prawandin entered the city, a steady stream of soldiers began to pour into the city.
The army entered the city with great momentum.
Prawangdin and Singh then entered. The official guarding the gate saw Prawangdin and looked flattering. Unfortunately, Prawangdin didn't pay attention to the city guard at all. He just wanted to capture Li Zhen alive, so he simply said After saying a few words, he left the officials guarding the gate and continued to rush forward with his soldiers. Singer actually encouraged the officials guarding the city gate and promised them benefits before continuing to move forward.
The official guarding the gate watched Prawandin and his entourage enter the city with a sneer on his lips.
A bunch of idiots.
It was originally thought that after entering the city, Prawangdin would take control of the tower first.
Unexpectedly, he didn't even care about the city tower and rushed inward. In this way, many of the follow-up arrangements arranged by the gatekeeper officials did not need to be used, and they only had to stay at the city gate.
About fifteen minutes after Prawangdin's army entered the city, large-scale gunfire was heard in the city.
The fierce fighting in the city suddenly became fierce.
Prawangdin led his army to approach the government building. The army stormed, but found that the government building was not empty. There were countless soldiers hidden around it. Under the attack of Prawangdin's soldiers, these hidden soldiers began to emerge on a large scale.
Machine guns were set up one after another, aiming at the charging enemies.
"Prawantin, you idiot, do you really think that the president doesn't know what you are doing? The president has long been paying attention to the movements in Calcutta. When you sent troops, the president had already started to make preparations."
Behind the government building, the governor of Tripura shouted.
The soldiers shouted together, and the sound spread immediately.
When Prawandin heard this, his body felt like it was struck by lightning, and he felt dizzy for a while. His body seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and his whole body was cold. He looked around and found that there were more and more enemies around him. A large number of soldiers came out, even if they were all special The soldiers of Lipura State, but equipped with weapons from Li Zhenjun, are also very powerful.
Singer knew that he had been tricked and immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, we have been tricked. Let's withdraw. This is not a place for long-term fighting. The effect of a surprise attack will be lost. Once entangled, it may be difficult to withdraw."
"withdraw,."
Prawandin sighed and ordered helplessly.
