Chapter 436 One hundred years
Although the French military's war report was very vague, the Mengtuoban believed that they were definitely in big trouble. Bao Meiying was still a beautiful snake in the desert. If he didn't take action, he would be unable to get off the stage as soon as he took action.
Because Major General Mentoban believes in his own troops and believes that they are the best army in the world. If they were not facing a crisis of life and death, they would never ask for so many troops from themselves, but would only ask for assistance from a platoon or a company.
The Major General of the Mento class quickly thought of his opponent. He was full of curiosity about Bao Meiying, the girl general, and now he was even more respectful.
She bit the Europeans at the most critical moment. As long as she recovered for one or two days, the two French infantry battalions supported by Europe could be used, and everything could be calm. But the girl general wisely found the weakest moment in France and launched an attack with extraordinary courage.
At the thought of this, the Major General of the Mentoban had made up his mind: "Okay... I promised them that I will send them two infantry battalions and one artillery company..."
He didn't know that his decision allowed the French infantry battalion that invaded Suzhou to survive the subsequent offensive of the Hongjun.
...
Zhenjiang.
Sun Huzi's beard was raised, and Liu Chang's letter was still echoing in his ears: "The whole world wants to know where Sun Huzi is..."
He was furious: "I'm so angry, I'm so angry, Yu Jinglei, I'll tell me a fair word. This time I used troops to Zhenjiang and wanted to annihilate the two old thieves, Senggelinqin and Zhang Guoliang, in one fell swoop. Is there any mistake?"
"That's right, that's right!"
As Sun Huzi's deputy, Yu Cun could only say in a good voice: "I know. You didn't make any mistakes. If there are three more days, we can take down the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture!"
Although he said this, Yu Cun had to admit that the situation in Zhenjiang Prefecture is now a mess. The Third Division is in a dilemma: "But I suggest you obey the order of inspection!"
"Your Highness of the King of Yan is like a mountain. I know!" Sun Huzi still had anger: "But the general is outside, and the king's order is not accepted. We have worked so much to finally take down Zhenjiang Mansion. Unexpectedly, this order will be wasted. I will go to the procuratorate to file a lawsuit. This lawsuit must be fought!"
He didn't know that in order to save the crisis in Jiaxing Prefecture, Liu Chang even took only one infantry battalion and rushed to Jiaxing Prefecture to fight the French army. Now he only knows his own suffering.
In order to completely annihilate Jiangnan Camp and Senggelinqin's army, Sun Huzi can be said to have raised all his capital. So far, the Third Division has suffered casualties in the Zhenjiang strategy and has suffered as many as 1,700 combat diseases. It can even be said that the entire infantry regiment has lost its combat effectiveness.
The news of the French and Russian troops intervening in the Chinese battlefield also gave Senggelinqin and Zhang Guoliang a shot in a strong manner. Although there was a complete defeat in the Jiangnan camp, they fought very well, and even made Sun Huzi's Third Division sacrifice 1,700 people.
However, under Sun Huzi's full attack, the Jiangnan Camp and Senggelinqin tribe were now on the eve of collapse. For this reason, Zhang Guoliang had to urgently ask for help from the Jiangbei Camp and ask Dehaxingduo to send troops to rescue.
Therefore, Senggelinqin is also willing to copy this story: "Although today, Changmao and Red Thief claim to be from one branch, they are already in harmony with each other and have conflicts of interests. As long as we are dedicated to national affairs, we will be able to reverse the overall situation!"
Shengbao supported this suggestion wholeheartedly. He could no longer see hope of defeating the Hong army on the battlefield. This time, the Third Division attacked Zhenjiang. Although it did not completely annihilate the Jiangnan Camp, Senggelinqin and Shengbao's troops, it completely defeated Shengbao's will.
You know, although the Hong Army paid the price of 1,700 people, the number of Qing army was killed, injured and fugitives was as many as 5,000. If there were three or four days of attack, the Jiangnan camp would only become history.
The enemy that cannot be defeated on the battlefield can only be defeated by other methods. And with Chun Laocheng, he had already thought of a solution: "I heard that Wu Ruxiao wanted to rebel and surrender!"
Wu Ruxiao was the leader of the Taiping Army in Zhenjiang. Although the Qing army deployed heavily to encircle near Zhenjiang, from the third year of Xianfeng to the seventh year of Xianfeng, Wu Ruxiao always guarded Zhenjiang like a Tangchi in Jincheng, and he himself became a famous general in the entire Taiping Army.
Senggelinqin was never willing to succeed when Wu Ruxiao changed his flag, so he had already made an idea: "Then spread the news. Lin Qirong changed his flag in Jiujiang has already made Hong Ni feel heartbroken. If he loses Zhenjiang again today, the Yangtze River will be lost, and the thieves will kill each other!"
The Taiping Army is now a monster that maneuveres along the Yangtze River thousands of miles away. Jiujiang is the tail and Zhenjiang is the tail. The most important thing is that if the Hong Army occupy the two places, it will definitely make Hong Xiuquan feel so painful that he cannot take care of himself.
“So very good, so very good…”
Several Qing Dynasty officials liked such good suggestions!
...
"Your Highness, Liu Ping has arrived. He also brought half of the infantry battalion here..."
“The reserve brigade is expected to arrive the day after tomorrow…”
"The Seventh Brigade has been basically established. In view of the urgent situation, two infantry battalions will be sent to combat in advance..."
After surrounding the French army in Fengjing Town, Liu Chang quickly obtained a series of good news and reinforcements: "It's great...but we must retain enough strength to deal with the possible reinforcements of the Yi army!"
The remnants of Fengjing Town still have a certain strength. The Hong Army has made great progress after two trial attacks, but it has proved that it will be quite difficult to solve them in the short term. Therefore, Liu Chang has turned his target to the reinforcements that are about to appear.
Now Shi Tuiji, Li Guanglei, and Liu Ping are ready to listen to Liu Chang's new suggestions. They firmly believe that the Hongjun will achieve another brilliant victory.
Not to mention anything else, although there were a lot of casualties outside Fengjing Town this time, the number of Qing troops annihilated reached 4,000 or 5,000 people, and the French army retreated step by step, which established them confidence in victory - it turned out that the Yi soldiers were not invincible.
Liu Chang said his purpose very bluntly: "This time I am planning to eat up the Yi soldiers and Qing Yao in Fengjing Town, and to bite a big mouthful of the Yi soldiers who came to help. The guys are right..."
"I just want foreigners to be unable to develop the confidence to challenge our Hongjun for a hundred years!"
