Chapter 974 Convince the Eight-Power Allied Forces
Rahel groaned angrily and his breathing became more rapid.
The anger in his heart erupted like a volcano in an instant. He pointed at Li Zhen and said loudly: "President Li, you said it very easily, but how can we fight without soldiers? Our soldiers are all defeated and it is difficult to fight again." If you want to fight, you can go around the camp and look at the condition of the soldiers, and you will know that this battle cannot be fought."
Russell continued: "This battle has been going on till now. No soldier is uninjured, and no soldier wants to continue fighting. Our eight countries have sacrificed too much in this battle, but do you care?" Well, at the same time, what did your army do? It's really shameless to have the nerve to ask us to send troops in front of us."
Adams, Lankfurt and others felt greatly relieved after hearing this, and seemed to have taken a breath of bad breath.
They all looked at Li Zhen with unkind expressions.
Li Zhen smiled coldly in his heart, Russell talked so much just because he didn't want to go to war.
In a word, he wants his soldiers to attack him.
Li Zhen paused briefly and said unhurriedly: "Your Excellency Russell, I know very well what the soldiers of a brigade under my command have done. At the same time, I also know what the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have done during this period. Up to now, , the Eight-Nation Allied Forces have not captured Xiaoshui County. I express regret. I feel heartbroken for the Eight-Nation Allied Forces soldiers who died in this battle and the injured Eight-Nation Allied Forces soldiers. The soldiers are all good, they are heroes, and they are worthy Dear man."
After saying this, the faces of the people around him softened slightly.
Li Zhen continued: "However, I am not satisfied with the results of your repeated battles."
After the conversation changed, everyone's expressions returned to their original expressions, cold and cold. Everyone's eyes fell on Li Zhen and they all glared angrily, including Ma Hui.
Their achievements were denied, and they were naturally very angry.
Li Zhen dusted off the dust on his clothes and said calmly: "My army, like your armies, each attacks one area. You attack Xiaoshui County, and I attack Xingyang County. Now, my soldiers have already I captured Xingyang County and sent some soldiers to Nanming Pass. In addition, I also sent some soldiers to cooperate with you in attacking Xiaoshui County."
"Gentlemen, you all said that your soldiers are very tired and hardworking. Don't my soldiers work hard? They are all attacking the city. Are the enemies I encounter just made of paper?"
"You talk as if you feel aggrieved like a little girl who lost her virginity, and you talk as if you are attacking Vietnam for me. I despise such people the most."
"Please remember that you are fighting for yourself and your country."
"If the purpose of your coming to join the war was for me, Mr. Li, and for the sake of China, where I, Mr. Li, am, I'm afraid you would have given up your career long ago. Those who should take care of their children should take care of their children. As soon as you heard my words, you became angry. It seems like you are going to swallow me, but I think you are really going in the wrong direction, very wrong."
"Gentlemen, please understand that when you attack Xiaoshui County, you are doing something for yourself. Therefore, if you encounter difficulties, please don't say that you are tired and hard, because you are not working hard for your own affairs."
After Li Zhen's words, the anger of those present gradually calmed down.
They are all people who have lived for decades, so they will not understand.
Adams took a deep breath and said, "President Li said he would send troops to attack Xiaoshui County, but where are your troops?"
Li Zhen said: "If you attack again, my soldiers will defeat Huang Bai."
"Sure enough, as long as we attack by force, we can ignore the war in Xiaoshui County." The corners of La Er's mouth raised, his eyes rolled, and there was a hint of sinisterness on his face.
He seized on the loopholes in Li Zhen's words and deliberately found fault.
Li Zhen glanced at Russell with disdain and said in a deep voice: "As long as the Eight-Nation Allied Forces attack Xiaoshui County with all their strength one more time and inflict heavy damage on Huangbai, there will be no need for soldiers from the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to take action next time."
"Okay, I agree."
Gobard took the lead in applauding and looked at the rest of the people.
"I agree," Russell said.
Ma Hui said: "I also agree."
"I agree."
"I agree."
…
Everyone agreed and stared at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen clapped his hands, nodded and said: "Everyone, please prepare. The attack will begin tomorrow. I will stay in the camp and wait for your good news. This battle depends entirely on the hard work of your soldiers. This battle can be won." The more ruthless it is, the better it is for me."
Gobard did not answer and directly ordered preparations for war.
Early the next morning, Russell and Adams asked the soldiers to launch an attack. Cannons were set up one after another, and guns were aimed at the county seat of Xiaoshui County. Gunshots were everywhere, artillery fire continued, and the battle was so fierce that a whole regiment of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces was killed. The soldiers launched a fierce attack, and with the support of powerful firepower, they rushed into the city and killed people like rivers of blood.
In the end, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were defeated again.
After this battle, Huang Bai's strength was greatly weakened, and accordingly, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were almost disabled.
On the tower, Huang Bai looked at the captain beside him, who still had blood stains on his clothes, and asked in a deep voice: "After this battle, how many of our soldiers have been lost, and how many of them can continue to fight."
The captain thought for a moment, and then replied: "So far, nearly two thousand soldiers have been lost, and there are only three thousand left, but the number that can really fight is probably only about two thousand, and there are too many injured soldiers."
Huang Bai sighed: "Foreigners have gone crazy."
After a pause, Huang Bai asked again: "How is the war situation in Xingyang County?"
The captain replied: "According to the news, the general Hu Zhiguang stationed in Xingyang County failed and disappeared. Almost the soldiers we sent to find out the news have not returned. Now, only Xiaoshui County where the general is stationed and Nanming is closed."
Huang Bai said solemnly: "Hu Zhiguang lost, we cannot fail."
A look of worry appeared on the captain's face, and he said seriously: "Forgive me for being humble, after Hu Zhiguang's defeat, we lost an assisting force. In addition, we fought too fiercely with the foreigners, so that the force we have is seriously insufficient. If Li Zhen leads his army to attack, once Li Zhen and the foreigners join together, we will definitely face huge pressure and there will be no possibility of holding on."
Huang Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"
The captain said: "Withdraw from Xiaoshui County immediately and go to Nanming Pass to join the general."
"Bastard." Huang Bai shouted.
The lieutenant's face changed drastically. He was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "General, I am also thinking about you. If the general insists on killing me, I have nothing to say."
Huang Bai sighed softly and said, "Get up."
The captain stood up and whispered: "General, do you want to evacuate?"
Huang Baisenran said: "Don't say such words again."
The captain nodded and said no more. He looked up outside the city and looked at the place where the foreign military camp was. After a moment, the captain's eyes widened and he stared blankly into the distance. Then he said loudly: "General, hurry up. Look, look quickly, there is a person coming towards us from the front. Judging from the color of his clothes, it seems to be the color of the uniforms worn by soldiers in our army."
Huang Bai's eyes widened and he looked along the direction pointed by the captain.
The horses' hooves galloped wildly, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and they could already see clearly.
