This battle did not take too much time. There may be two main prerequisites. First, the strength is equal, because although the French army has five rifles, it is like a wall falling in the face of geographical advantages and hand-to-hand combat;
Two: The entire attack process was smooth. It may be that the French army underestimated the enemy, or it may be that the strength of our camp is higher.
After the battle, in addition to a captain officer of the French army who was injured, there were more than 30 prisoners, and more than 50 soldiers from the battle camp also died. When Li Ningyu heard the report from the iron soldiers, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
, then Li Ningyu ordered everyone to collect the soldiers' bones, and the French soldiers were also buried on the spot.
Three hours later, pairs of bonfires were lit again next to the valley. The soldiers had already begun to enjoy dinner, and today's dinner was French canned food. Seeing the happy faces of the soldiers, Li Ningyu greeted them with a smile.
The general reported encouragement, and then Li Ningyu, accompanied by Tie Bing and Zhang Jun, came to a camp.
After entering the camp, Li Ningyu saw the French officer tied up like a big rice dumpling. Then Li Ningyu signaled to the iron soldiers. The iron soldiers had no choice but to take the black cloth strip from the mouth of the French army captain.
came out, and then a series of fluent French words sounded in the camp.
"Who are you? Why did you attack our soldiers of the French Empire? Who are you?..." The French officer rambled for a while before he stopped. Finally, he discovered that Li Ningyu, the youngest of the three, seemed to be
It was the supreme commander, and then he began to say in French: "Who are you?".
At this time, Li Ningyu slowly said to him in fluent French: "Don't you know how to look at clothes? We are soldiers of the Qing Dynasty!" I don't know if it was Li Ningyu's French that calmed him down, or because of it.
He was a little nervous when he was captured, and then he began to speak French gibberingly.
Based on Li Ningyu's knowledge of French, Li Ningyu still understood the meaning of what he said, mainly his identity and his name, Henri Herman, the former captain and company commander of the French stationed in Vietnam. This time he led 300 troops
The advance team opened the way for the follow-up troops. He did not need to do much. He only needed to take his 300 French soldiers to garrison at Li Ningyu's current position.
After hearing his explanation, Li Ningyu immediately asked the iron soldiers to tie him up again, and then ordered Zhang Jun to take 50 soldiers to escort all the prisoners back to Beijing and hand them over to Prince Gong. When Li Ningyu heard that
When the officer was not sent away, Zhang Jun was stunned for a moment and then thought of what the iron soldiers had told him. He immediately organized a convoy to tie 30 French troops onto a five-carriage and headed north day and night.
This night was the night of victory. Except for the sentries and spies who were still awake, everyone else was fast asleep because they were too tired these days. However, Li Ningyu was checking the parts written from memory in his camp.
material.
In July 1883, the ninth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, a British customs officer shot a child to death and injured two others with a pistol on the streets of Guangzhou for no reason. On August 10, the Portuguese pushed a Chinese worker into the water and drowned for no reason.
This aroused great anger among the masses. They then rushed into the Shamian Concession to demonstrate and burned down some houses of foreign merchants.
In 1883, on November 12, the ninth year of Guangxu's reign, Guba led 6,000 troops from Hanoi to attack Shanxi (in the northwest of Hanoi). Later, the Qing ruler Tang Jiong, the governor of Yunnan, fled to Yunnan in advance, and 5,000 Qing troops marched towards Shanxi. The French army responded to the battle and fought bloody battles for three days from the 15th to the 17th, killing more than 300 enemies. On the 17th, Shanxi fell. Liu Yongfu, Tang Jingsong and others broke through and retreated to Xinghua.
After reading these materials, Li Ningyu thought that October was about to end, and he didn't know whether his battle would change the pattern of history. As soon as he turned his head, Li Ningyu's eyes were caught by the man named Henry He in the big tent. The figure of the French officer Mann was attracted. Henry might have been tired, because he actually fell asleep next to the enemy's tent at this time.
"Henry! Haha! Henry!" Li Ningyu recalled in his mind as he read, Charlie, Louis, and Henry are all French aristocratic surnames. The French of the man in front of him is obviously different from the ordinary ones. It seems that he understands what to try. After giving him a try, I walked out of the tent.
Slowly and leisurely, Li Ningyu came to the camps where the soldiers were resting. After a careful inspection, Li Ningyu went to check the light and dark sentry posts. When Li Ningyu saw the energetic soldiers, Li Ningyu felt that he was I am very lucky because I have such a group of lovely people who are willing to follow me.
Li Ningyu didn't sleep again that night, because Li Ningyu knew that he had a very heavy burden. Not only did he have to lead them to defeat the great powers, Li Ningyu also had to lead them home safely, because each of them had the right to live. However, Li Ningyu didn't know that he was responsible for ambushing the French advance team, which directly caused the French commander to act alone and start taking action in advance, and everything was a matter of later events.
Three days, three whole days, there was no news at all about the French advance team. Beiqi was the main route for the French army to enter Yunnan. Commander Guba naturally wanted to occupy it first. However, after wiping out the main force of the Black Flag Army, Beiqi was , Guba knew that there was no Qing army in Vietnam, and even if there were, it would not be a well-equipped opponent of the French army.
But the reality before him was that the advance team disappeared, and along with it, Captain and Company Commander Henry Herman. If he was just an ordinary company commander, Commander Guba would not have to make a fuss, but Henry Herman Mann was a member of the Henry family. If Henry Herman died under his own command, the anger of the Henry family would definitely not be something that a major general officer commanding 6,000 soldiers could not bear.
Feeling extremely uneasy and anxious, Guba once again sent out a 10-man team of communications soldiers. This was also the fifth team of communications soldiers he sent. However, there was still no response before the evening of the next day. At this time, Guba began to realize the problem. Due to the seriousness of the situation, they immediately ordered the advance to Yunnan in advance, and then the French Expeditionary Force, which had been well prepared and had a large number of artillery, set off in the direction of Beiqi, where Li Ningyu was stationed.
At this time, in Beiqi, I was entertaining Henry Herman in Li Ningyu's tent. And why I entertained him was because he was a good man. Why was he a good man? Because after being hungry for a day, Henry Herman decided to Tell Li Ningyu everything you know, and Li Ningyu also treated the prisoner favorably and decided to treat him to French canned food.
Later, during the chat between Li Ningyu and Li Ningyu, Li Ningyu learned that Henry Hermann was indeed a French nobleman, but his father seemed to dislike him a little, so he was so angry that he wandered to Asia, and their general Guba felt that he could seize the North.
Qi was in no danger, so he dared to send him here. Unexpectedly, he was taken hostage by Li Ningyu.
