"Yes!" Hearing that Li Ningyu had such an arrangement, Wang Hu, who was also from a poor family, naturally understood Li Ningyu's intentions, and then he began to make arrangements quickly. About 30 minutes later, everything was ready at the Red River Ferry.
After that, the first and second platoons who were ordered to block the French vanguard rushed to the ferry. Looking at the soldiers each carrying two guns, Li Ningyu asked with a smile: "Zhang Dahu! Get rich!".
"Yes, military academy! Annihilated 130 French troops and seized a total of 120 French five-shot rifles and more than 6,000 bullets! All 180 people in the first and second platoons had no casualties!" After Zhang Dahu heard Li Ningyu's words, he immediately walked quickly
After running over and standing still, he answered Li Ningyu's words loudly.
It was another harvest. Li Ningyu was very happy when he heard such good news. Then Li Ningyu loudly said to him: "Okay! This fortune is good! But you will use French bullets to hit me hard later."
When you fight the French, it doesn't matter if you run out of bullets. After shooting 1,000, I will replenish you with 2,000, but you must follow the order, understand?"
"Yes! Thank you, Master!" Upon hearing Li Ningyu's arrangement, Zhang Dahu, who wanted to serve his country and kill his enemies, immediately agreed excitedly. Then Li Ningyu pulled him to his side with a smile and began to whisper in his ear.
While muttering.
Then Zhang Dahu directly arranged the soldiers from the first and second platoons onto eight small boats, and then took the lead to sail towards the front of the Red River. Then Li Ningyu also led the remaining three platoons of soldiers onto the large and small boats. It was a smooth journey.
About 10 miles away from the ferry, at a turning point, Li Ningyu, who was standing on the bow of the big ship, shouted to both sides of the shore: "Go to the east of the river and catch all the lang!".
Upon hearing Li Ningyu shouting like this, Tie Bing and Henry Herman beside him looked at Li Ningyu with big eyes and small eyes. At this moment, people on both sides of the strait said: "The light boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains!".
After hearing such a reply, Li Ningyu smiled slightly and said nothing. Then he looked at the terrain on both sides of the strait. Li Ningyu ordered: "All officers and soldiers, listen to the order and speed up!" Then the ship, which was originally going smoothly, moved even faster.
Quickly, just after Li Ningyu had sailed dozens of miles away, the French commander Guba had already arrived at the Red River Ferry with about 5,500 French troops.
Looking at the eleven large ships left by Li Ningyu, the French commander was livid, because the 11 large ships were actually just large wooden ships 15 meters long and 11 meters wide. If he really wanted to fill 5,500
It was almost impossible for people to do it, so Guba had a dark face at this time. Then he sent a large number of soldiers to go to the fishermen at the Red River Ferry to ask if there were any other ships, but he only got one answer, that is, there was no one.
, and the remaining eleven were left to him by the young Qing officer.
As a wily commander, Guba is also experienced in the battlefield. After the two deaths of the advance team and the vanguard, Guba no longer underestimated his unknown enemy. Then Guba ordered 3000
The soldiers boarded the big ship, and the remaining 2,500 soldiers marched to Yunnan by land, and he was also on the big ship.
After boarding the ship, each ship needed to carry 280 French soldiers. The ship was crowded for a while, and the soldiers moving on land were already on their way. Then the French army officially marched into the Qing Dynasty's territory of Yunnan, and just before
At this time, the remaining three platoons led by me had all disembarked, and immediately scuttled all the ships in the narrow waters of only 15 meters wide and ten meters deep.
Seeing the big ship starting to move forward, the French army jumped for joy because they had begun to invade Yunnan. However, the French commander Gu Ba was in a very complicated mood. Standing on the bow of the ship and watching the French troops attacking from the land gradually disappear before his eyes, Gu Ba suddenly
There was a feeling of farewell, but he was not sure because he felt that it was an infantry regiment of 2,500 people. It not only had a group of excellent soldiers, but also had a large number of high-performance weapons.
Just as Guba was thinking about it, the big boat had already reached a turning point in the Red River. Then, while he was still thinking, he found a black pipe sticking out of the grass on the shore. He was shocked and immediately
shouted: "Watch the shore!".
But it seemed that his call was too late at this time, because the rifles of the two platoons and one hundred and eighty soldiers ambushed on the shore had already fired, and then the unprepared French army became a living target, because the French troops huddled together
The French army had no place to hide. Five consecutive rounds of fire hit them, and countless French soldiers who had no time to dodge were beaten to death by two platoons of soldiers commanded by Zhang Dahu.
After bursts of gunfire, for about 10 minutes, the French army gradually began to fight back. However, due to the large number of people, everyone was crowded together. Then, under the order of Commander Guba, they directly killed the dead soldiers' bodies.
It was thrown into the river, and at this time it seemed that the enemy on the shore had disappeared.
The frustrated French commander Guba first ordered the team to stop advancing, and then fired a burst of artillery and rifle fire at the shore. Then the ship docked and began searching. After more than an hour of searching, the French army found an enemy on the shore.
Not found, Guba had no choice but to order to continue moving forward. However, at this time, the French army's original 3,000 men in the 11 large ships only had 2,300 men. In other words, 700 men were lost in just 20 minutes.
"Pfft!" After hearing the statistics after the battle, the French commander stood up and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face turned pale as if he had been severely beaten, and then his body fell back.
He fell down, and at this moment, the soldiers beside him hurriedly supported him, otherwise Guba would have fallen directly into the water and become a bastard.
In the following five hours, the French army on the waterway never encountered the enemy again. I don’t know whether it was because they were traveling very slowly at this time or for other reasons. At this time, the French army advancing towards Yunnan from the land had already begun to attack Yunnan.
A firefight began with the Qing army stationed in Yunnan, but the battle here was obviously not comparable to the battle on the Red River, because the 2,500-man French army directly defeated the Yunnan Qing army of more than 3,000 people, and was completely defeated.
"Boom...boom!"
"Boom...boom!"
On a certain position, after a short scream passed by, a huge explosion immediately occurred in the Qing army's position. The highest commander of the Qing army this time was the commander of the Black Flag Army, the Qing Admiral Liu Yongfu. Why did he
Who is the supreme commander? Because Tang Jiong, the governor of Yunnan, had already fled to Xinghua first and then to Yunnan.
A huge sense of crisis completely enveloped Liu Yongfu. At this time, he thought to himself that he was going to be defeated by the French army again. No! I can't lose! But after hearing a series of explosions, Liu Yongfu still sighed.
He said: "Oh! It's better to avoid its sharp edge!" Then he ordered all Qing troops to withdraw from the battle and retreat to Xinghua, Yunnan.
