"Haiti?"

Pan Dingxin didn't know what Major Raymond was talking about: "What is Haiti?"

Haiti is one of the few things that Napoleon has experienced in his life. Although the command of the battle was not Napoleon himself, Major Raymond was unwilling to replace it. That word is Waterloo!.

If the troops he led were gone, it would have caused such a fatal blow to the French Empire, which had just won the Crimean victory. Therefore, Major Raymond keenly avoided the word: "Yes, it was Haiti... a great failure in France's history, although the reason for the failure has nothing to do with military affairs!"

Pan Dingxin did not understand Major Raymond's meaning: "The problem has reached such a serious level? That's just that Liu Juehu has arrived..."

He has no general idea about Liu Juehu's personal visit to the battlefield. Chapter 435

In Suzhou, this should be similar to that of Yang Xiuqing's visit, and there should be no earth-shaking changes. Therefore, he did not take this seriously, but just speculated that the Hongjun could reinforce several units.

But although Raymond did not experience that glorious era, he heard the legendary story countless times from his father's mouth and knew what the changes were. That's right!

Whenever the emperor came to the battlefield in person, the entire French Empire became invincible until he embarked on the road to Moscow. He used a trembling voice: "I don't understand, that's the intuition of a soldier..."

In fact, in just one day, Pan Dingxin had already understood, because the pressure of Hong Jun attacking from all directions made him feel like he was twisted by someone's neck.

"We have enough ammunition for half a month, we have enough food for a month, we have enough water and everything else, we have..."

But they lack a king, yes! A real king, like Liu Chang's invincible king, so within just twenty-four hours, the French army in Fengjing Town was in a serious crisis. Now the French army even organized several battles for water sources. The rainbow army on the opposite side seemed to be unable to attack. Chapter 435

The defeated enemy in Suzhou.

Yes, when that name appears in the cheers on the opposite side, the enemy's face can be described as a new look, and their attacks and defenses become impeccable. There was even a French platoon that was wiped out by them within a few minutes, and even a body was not snatched back afterwards.

Now Pan Dingxin truly understands what the name Liu Juehu represents for Hong Jun.

In fact, Liu Chang only brought one infantry battalion, an infantry battalion that had only been established for a few months. As soon as he saw Shi Tuiji, Fu Wendao and Li Guanglei and other officers of the Hongjun made a point: "I only brought one Zhejiang ** Infantry Battalion. This is the first wave of support that can be obtained in the short term, so don't have too many expectations for me..."

"No..." Fu Wen said this: "It is because of this that we are full of infinite hope for you. It is a pity for today's battle..."

Both sides of the battle this morning described it as a heavy casualty. In just half a day, the Hong Army suffered nearly 500 casualties, but the losses from the coalition forces could be described as heart-to-heart. A Russian company was completely wiped out. A French infantry platoon was hit by an annihilation blow, and there were more losses.

In fact, just counting the dead, missing and captured people. The coalition forces alone counted the European numbers, which were more losses than the Hongjun side, and the losses suffered by the Hongjun side were mostly non-permanent losses that could be recovered.

However, the losses of nearly 500 people still made the Hongjun side feel extremely painful, so Fu Wendao continued: "If you could come here two hours in advance, no one of the two thousand enemy troops today would be able to go back alive!"

This is the role of an infantry battalion at critical moments, but the current situation is different: "The defeated Yi soldiers is about six or seven hundred, and gathered about a thousand demons. They fled back to Fengjing in a hurry. According to our previous information, there are Yi soldiers stations and reserves in Fengjing Town. Yi soldiers can get some supplements here, but we believe that you will definitely create miracles..."

That's right, if Liu Chang had not arrived, the battle might have come to an end. After all, the Hong Army had already caused a considerable damage to the coalition forces, but both Fu Wendao and other officers had a firm belief that the Hong Army would definitely create miracles.

The Hong Army, which can continue to participate in the war now, not including the infantry battalion brought by Liu Chang, has a total strength of only 2,500 people, which is not far from the French army's total strength. However, whether it is Fu Wendao or others, they only have one idea, and then they will wipe out all!

That's right, all the two thousand remaining troops in Fengjing Town were wiped out, even if they had six or seven hundred or even more famous soldiers, Liu Chang would definitely create a miracle.

And Liu Chang would not disappoint their expectations: "Yes, I came here just to tell my friends something, I didn't bring them to play house..."

"I will lead the escorts to create the most glorious page in the history of our Hongjun. No matter what force the escorts belong to, this will be a page worth remembering forever..."

"I order and follow me to attack Fengjing Town!"

Liu Chang has omitted the word "forward" because he knows that as long as he is on the front line, there will never be a word retreat. Even if he goes backward, it will move towards the enemy's most concentrated direction!

"Attack on Fengjing Town!"

...

The Mengtuoban team was full of energy during this period. He found the passion he had when he was a second lieutenant again. He thought he could never find such passion again, at least it was that women could not find such passion again.

But the facts proved that he was wrong. His attack in Suzhou Prefecture went smoothly. The girl on the opposite side did not dare to challenge the French tricolor flag head-on. She didn't even have the determination to resist. She just kept sending Minni riflemen and one or two light artillery to use the tactic of running and running after firing.

In fact, the girl opposite was constantly harassing, from day to night, from the fields to the water town, and heard gunshots everywhere, but from the beginning to now, the Mentor Class still has not found any opportunity to fight a tough battle.

But that's fine. The casualties are only some Chinese people. Europeans have very few casualties, so Mengtuban does not think there will be any problems with their Suzhou strategy.

He even opened a bottle of treasured champagne for his smooth progress. You should know that it is not easy to buy real champagne in the Far East. However, when he lifted the champagne up, he heard a completely unexpected news: "Major Raymond is asking for support, my god...what is he doing!"

According to his understanding, the rebel forces in Jiaxing Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture are the same, and they are just four infantry battalions. Raymond has almost 900 Europeans and 40,000 government troops. According to his experience in Suzhou Prefecture, it is only a matter of time before he eliminates the opponents in front of him.

But the news came to the Mentoban's fatal blow: "Now there are nearly 20,000 rebels besieging Major Raymond, with shocking losses, and at least one hundred and fifty Europeans were killed or injured in battle..."

One hundred and fifty Europeans, the Mentor class has seen continuous domestic doubts. This is not an expedition, but just a marching drill, but Raymond has ruined all this - in fact, Major Raymond has underestimated the number of casualties of Europeans as much as possible. In fact, there are more than one hundred and fifty Europeans killed in battle, and there are still going to be more than one hundred and fifty Europeans killed in battle.

"Now the rebels are continuing to increase their troops. Their commander is Liu Chang, the king of Yan, which is the so-called "Liu Juehu". This is worthy of respect. They have at least thirty infantry battalions, and there are hundreds of artillery in addition to this. Fengjing Town is under continuous bombardment of artillery fire, and we need support..."

"Damn it!" After reading the letter of requesting assistance, Mengtuban knew that he had just wasted his time in Suzhou Prefecture. Now the main force of the rebels is concentrated in Jiaxing Prefecture. If Major Raymond's troops are annihilated, it will be an irreparable loss.

He immediately issued an order: "We must stop the full offensive in Suzhou Prefecture. Although we will soon capture Suzhou Prefecture, I must transfer half of the Europeans to support Major Raymond. This is really a difficult choice!"

Domestic politicians would not see him occupying Suzhou or other places. For them, there was no difference between any city in China. They would only see that Raymond's troops suffered serious losses, and the losses of one hundred and fifty Europeans were enough to allow those members to publish dozens of articles in the newspaper.

Thinking of this, the Mentorban had to give up the Suzhou Prefecture, which was within reach and turned to rescue Major Raymond. Fortunately, although the Russians had not sent new reinforcements, the two infantry battalions sent from Algeria had arrived in Shanghai. According to the news they brought, the country not only agreed to his request for additional troops, but also gave an infantry battalion, and five infantry battalions would arrive in China next.

It was just that he had to rescue Major Raymond, so he left only a European infantry battalion responsible for cooperating with the 5,000 Qing army to restrain the rebels in front of him, and the main force of the French army had turned south in an orderly manner under his command.

According to the Mentor team's plan, he could return to Suzhou Prefecture in just one week, but the facts proved that he was outrageously wrong. When the French army advanced south for two hours, dense gunfire came from the north.

The main force of the Hong Army, whom Mengtuoban thought about the night, finally came at the moment when he was most reluctant to appear. In the evening, worse news came. The Chinese government troops who stayed were suffering heavy losses. At least two of their infantry battalions suffered devastating blows, and even the infantry battalion that stayed suffered some losses.

Therefore, they strongly demanded that Major General Mentoban leave at least two more infantry battalions.
