Liu Zhenming sent a hundred miners to the Rocky Mountains to cut off railways and carry out sabotage activities, mainly blowing up tunnels. This time, he asked these people to take all the remaining explosives with them.
And he personally led 1,500 soldiers to attack Kamloops.
At this time, in Kamloops, Drunny was deeply involved in chaos. This morning he received news that Vancouver was attacked by the Fenians.
The British army and the Northwest Mounted Police were transferred eastward, and Vancouver's troops were empty. Weir took the opportunity to lead an army of 3,000 to launch an attack. It can be said that he seized a good opportunity.
In fact, the Chinese Self-Rescue Army and the Fenian Army formed a mutual cooperation trend, which immediately put Druny into a dilemma.
The mayor of Vancouver had already sent a telegram asking for help, but then there was no news. Drunni guessed that either the telegraph line had been cut by the Fenians, or the city of Vancouver had been captured.
"Fenians!" Drunni took a deep breath. He really didn't expect them to jump out at this time, but then he thought about it and it became clear. Every time something happens in Canada, these people will take the opportunity to cause trouble. It's just that
This time it's just on a larger scale.
"Send reinforcements. What should we do if the Chinese come to attack?" Drunni couldn't make up his mind for a long time, but he didn't have to worry about it soon.
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a scout started shouting in a panic before he came in.
"General, something big has happened, something big has happened. Those Chinese, those Chinese have come out of the mountains and are coming to us in Kamloops." The scout panted and rolled in.
"The Chinese are coming!" Drunni suddenly woke up, stood up from his seat, and said in fear: "They are coming, they are really coming, are they really coming to Kamloops?"
"Yes!" the scout replied fearfully.
Drunni sat down on the chair. He was filled with regrets now. After he came to Kamloops, he had been preparing for the attack. He never thought that Liu Zhenming and others would come to attack Kamloops.
, he did not have this idea until after the British army was ambushed.
In other words, there are not many fortifications built in Kamloops today.
If he had taken more defensive measures these days, he would have felt a lot better, so he felt regretful.
"General, what should we do? The enemy can reach here within five hours." Seeing his dazed look, the scout felt a huge chill in his heart.
"What else can we do? Defend of course. Quickly, call all the leaders of the volunteer army to discuss the battle." Drunni suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said seriously.
Several soldiers standing in the room quickly went down to convey the order.
After a while, more than a dozen mining factory owners filed in calmly. These mining factory owners were the leaders of various volunteer armies who voluntarily joined the encirclement and suppression team. Each of them had at least a hundred people and as many as two hundred.
Someone comes.
"Gentlemen, I just received news that a group of Chinese people are coming here." Drunni reported the news with a solemn expression. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by others.
"Have the Chinese thugs come down the mountain? It's better now. We don't need to go out of our way to find them again."
"Yes, we are going to beat them until they cry for mother this time, those guys who just hide in the mountains and fire cold shots."
"I don't know how much bounty I can get this time."
…
The leaders seemed to have forgotten where they were, and started joking and laughing.
Drunni's expression became worse and worse. He slammed the table and couldn't help but burst out: "Now, listen to me, these Chinese defeated my army and also defeated the Marine Corps yesterday. We must start a fight."
All spirit to deal with them, otherwise, they will defeat us too.”….
Despite efforts all night, the collapsed tunnel has not been dug out, and the soldiers inside do not know whether they are dead or alive.
Drunni's anger made some people calm down a little, but most people still disagreed. They knew these two battles very well, and in their hearts they believed that Liu Zhenming and others relied on opportunism to win.
If we go head-to-head, those yellow people will definitely not be our opponents! The leaders of the volunteer army thought in their hearts.
Time was urgent, and Drunni was too lazy to bother with them. He quickly arranged the combat mission and issued an order: "Hal, take your people and two hundred policemen and guard the northeast of the town. Aubin, you
Take your men and guard the entrance to the town with my two hundred soldiers..."
Drunni split up his one thousand soldiers and one thousand policemen and mixed them with these volunteers to defend the town. After the foreigners took the order, they quickly built defensive positions based on the streets and houses outside the town.
By the time Liu Zhenming led the Chinese Self-Rescue Army to appear on the outskirts of the town, these white people had already made simple defenses out of wood and other materials.
"Those Chinese are coming!" Drunni saw the vague figures and raised his binoculars. He saw the Chinese self-rescue army mobilizing in an orderly manner on the northwest horse road, slowly coming here slowly and calmly.
Through the telescope, Drunni could clearly see the solemn expressions of the soldiers of the Chinese Self-Rescue Army, as well as the horse-drawn cannon behind the team.
Except for the sound of footsteps and the neighing of horses, no one in the entire army made a sound, which shows the great military power.
"Cannon!" Drunni's face turned pale again. Nothing could express his inner regret now, because he originally brought the cannon, but now it was used as an offensive weapon by the other party.
Kamloops is a small town. The buildings are adapted to local conditions, mostly using wooden structures, and there are no city walls. It seems that the defense is very weak, but Liu Zhenming knew that if he got into a street fight with foreigners, he would suffer great losses.
"Druney, the Chinese Self-Rescue Army is here, why don't you quickly put down your weapons and surrender!" As the soldiers who knew English shouted in unison, the Chinese Self-Rescue Army separated a passage.
Liu Zhenming walked with his head held high, calmly and unhurriedly interested in the front of the team, and then raised his arms slightly.
"Surrender, surrender!" More than a thousand infantry sergeants raised their rifles and burst out into roars. The momentum was comparable to that of even thousands of troops.
The foreigners who defended the town all changed their minds, especially those of the Druni tribe who had fought against the Chinese Self-Rescue Army. These soldiers could not help but recall the sound of explosions, the blazing fires, and the screams of their colleagues.
"Druuni, how can a defeated general speak bravely! If you surrender, your whole body will be preserved. If you don't surrender, you will die without your whole body!"
Liu Zhenming took a step forward, Qi gathered in his Dantian, and his powerful and cold voice immediately echoed throughout the battlefield, spreading throughout the town. Of course, these words were spoken in English, so the effect was somewhat compromised, but it also made Druni angry.
Trembling all over.
"Shoot, shoot!" Drunni raised his hand angrily and fired a single shot at the front. Seeing this, the other soldiers also fired indiscriminately.
This was nine hundred meters away. If the foreigners could really kill Liu Zhenming, it could only be said to be God's will.
