After Lu Shaochuan heard the noise coming from the camp door, he didn't even raise his head and said impatiently: "Don't you know that Brigadier Liu and I are discussing important matters? Get out, get out?"
"Oh, Mr. Lu has such a bad temper," the visitor said.
After Lu Shaochuan heard the voice, his body trembled, with a look of surprise on his face. He quickly stood up and said humbly: "President, why are you here?" Liu Jintang also stood up and smiled. He just said He had been urging Lu Shaochuan to go south, but unexpectedly Li Zhen came in the blink of an eye, making Liu Jintang extremely embarrassed.
After Li Zhen sat down, he said with a smile: "Brigadier Liu, you are very courageous."
Liu Jintang smiled sheepishly, but then he puffed up his chest and said loudly: "President, everything I said is true. The battlefield is all about fighter aircraft. Opportunities must not be lost before they come back. The armies of the eight countries are rushing to the capital of Vietnam, wanting to attack directly." Huang Long, if we stay in the country and do not send troops at this time, there will definitely be problems."
After Li Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.
This guy is interesting.
"Go down with the order and set off south."
Li Zhen did not criticize him harshly. He changed the subject and immediately issued the order to go south.
Liu Jintang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became excited. He gave Li Zhen a military salute, turned around and ran out. Immediately afterwards, Lu Shaochuan also left the tent to convey the order. The army set off south towards Vietnam, and Li Zhen began to go south. By that time, the fighting in Vietnam had already begun, because the 50,000-strong army led by Xi Changzhen had already met the coalition forces of the eight countries.
Xi Changzhen Military Camp, the main tent of the Chinese Army.
He stood in front of the map, stared at it carefully, and drew with the brush in his hand. A map was painted messily by Xi Changzhen in a short time. Without blinking, he finally wrote heavily on the map. I sketched a stroke and painted a big black dot before throwing away the brush in my hand and a smile appeared on my face.
"Report."
A loud voice came from outside the camp, and soon, a young general strode in.
This general stood in front of Xi Changzhen, clasped his fists and said: "Commander, today the foreign army launched another attack on the Changshan Mountain under our control. Although the brothers stationed on the mountain repelled the foreigners, they were ordered not to do so. I was very confused when I launched a counterattack, so I asked the commander-in-chief to give an order to launch a counterattack immediately."
Xi Changzhen shook his head and said: "Now is not the time to counterattack."
The general asked: "May I ask, Commander-in-Chief, when can we launch a counterattack?"
After hearing the general's tone, Xi Changzhen was not angry. He smiled slightly and said, "When it's time to launch a counterattack, I will give the order. Now, continue to guard Changshan Mountain."
The general frowned and said nothing.
Xi Changzhen continued: "It is not a bad thing to stick to it. Compared with the foreigners, our firepower is slightly inferior. Even if we have a large number of people, it is not the best strategy to use the number of people to make up for the gap between the two sides. You go to convey the order. If the next time The armies of the eight countries launched another attack, pretending to show fatigue and allowing the foreigners to capture Changshan Mountain."
"ah,."
After the general heard this, he was even more surprised.
This, isn't this giving up the place that you control?
Xi Changzhen's expression became solemn and he ordered in a deep voice: "Didn't I make it clear, general? Go and deliver the order immediately."
"yes."
Seeing Xi Changzhen's show of force, the general did not dare to refute, so he turned around and retreated. However, the general muttered in his heart what exactly was Xi Changzhen's plan and why did he give away the place he occupied, especially Changshan Hillside, which is an important place and it is important to guard it. Once the traffic position is occupied by foreigners, they can only retreat.
…
The military camp of the Eight Nations and the large tent of the Chinese army.
Envoys such as Gobard, Lankfurt, and Ma Hui, as well as the British and French commanders, were all present.
However, there are no American troops here.
Gobard looked at the people present and said with a smile: "Everyone, after several battles, I think the military strength of Xi Yinglong and Xi Changzhen is not very good. He has been forced by us to hold on, and it is very difficult to hold on. With at most two more fierce attacks, we can take Changshan Mountain, defeat Xi Changzhen, and approach the Vietnamese capital."
Ma Hui smiled and said: "Yes, I think so too."
Everyone in the big tent nodded, and the commanders also quite agreed.
Gobard smiled and continued: "Since everyone thinks this is the case, I propose to launch another attack tomorrow, take down Changshan Mountain in one go, and defeat Xi Changzhen."
"good."
The people in the big tent responded in unison, with high morale.
…
The next day, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces launched an attack. The coalition forces launched a fierce charge, but Xi Changzhen's army was insufficient, so that the Eight-Nation Allied Forces easily captured Changshan Mountain. Moreover, Xi Changzhen led his troops to retreat, not daring to stop the Eight-Nation Army. There was no way to fight back. At this time, the eight-nation army was extremely excited. They were extremely optimistic about the battle report. They believed that the battle would be won and won easily, so they continued to pursue it.
On the other side, Li Zhen's army advanced rapidly.
When news came from the front line, Liu Jintang came to Li Zhen and said: "President, Xi Changzhen is very scheming. He took the initiative to show weakness and kept retreating. In this way, the armies of the eight countries continued to advance, and the arrogance of the armies of the eight countries would It's getting heavier and heavier. I think the time for Xi Changzhen to launch a counterattack is approaching and our plan can be implemented."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Okay, execute it immediately."
Liu Jintang received the order and immediately withdrew.
…
On the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, the Eight-Power Allied Forces caught up with Xi Changzhen's army and the two armies fought.
In this battle, Xi Changzhen failed again and continued to flee.
After Gobard and other commanders from various countries got the news, they all believed that this was an opportunity and must seize it. They all wanted to completely defeat Xi Changzhen and cut off one of Xi Yinglong's arms. Therefore, nearly ten thousand people from the Eight-Nation Alliance launched an attack. They chased Xi Changzhen's army vigorously. Both sides chased each other and fled, very compact.
Because the Eight-Nation Army had a large number of soldiers, the soldiers ran at different speeds. Gradually, the team grew longer and longer, forming a long dragon. They chased all the way. Gobard and others who followed behind had smiles on their faces.
This battle was won.
Gobard invited Ruan Lele and Ruan Mingde over and said with a smile: "Princess Ruan, we have won this battle. In the near future, the army will arrive in the capital of Vietnam. Your choice is undoubtedly the right one. Follow the armies of the eight countries and get It’s a bright future. You’ve been to Beijing for more than a month, but hey, you haven’t gained anything.”
Ruan Lele agreed without making too many comments.
"Report."
When Gobard was satisfied, the soldier in charge of the reconnaissance ran back quickly. The soldier came to Gobard and loudly said: "Something happened in the front, our army was ambushed."
