45. Guerrilla Tactics (5)
For the sake of safety, Ergin and Glo discussed, and sent a team to search it, indeed there was no one in the town, and there were no poisonous snakes, and the grain road behind him would not come for a while, and Ergin was ready to have anything to supply in the town.
Ergin lit a torch and took off his clothes, the weather in early autumn, after being soaked in water, it was a little cold, Ergin changed his clothes tremblingly, and called the unsuspecting people to dry their clothes, just after this time, everyone's morale was a little low, Ergin walked to a few non-commissioned officers, cheered everyone up, emphasized the glorious mission, everyone ate bread, warmed up, and the spirit was much better.
Ergin returned to Gro satisfied, and Grore took a glass of brandy and handed it to Elgin, Elgin drank half a cup, his body warmed up, and nodded to Gro in gratitude, "Everyone is always safe here, wait until they find food and come back, or forage, of course, preferably silver!" Just like we are in Tongzhou, it will be good then, and everyone's mood will be better. ”
"I don't have much hope for that, Charles," Gro said worriedly, "as you said, we have been unhappy since we left Tongzhou, and there are more Chinese attacking us, and it is not a head-on battle, it is all non-combat attrition, poisonous snakes, traps, sneak attacks, all like this, and the last time we sent cavalry to hunt down the mischievous woman, we lost twenty warriors at once!" We had only been out of Tongzhou for a day, and I did not dare to think about how many attacks we would encounter if we set up camp at night, and although the Chinese soldiers had no combat effectiveness, we would need to maintain vigorous energy to attack the city of Beijing. Hey, according to the Chinese, it didn't go well when you met a woman, didn't we catch the woman who was messing with us outside Tongzhou City, so we have been so unsmooth! ”
Ergin smiled bitterly, "Yes, you are right, but our British side was shocked by the vulnerable combat effectiveness of the Chinese in Tianjin, urging me to attack, to take Beijing down, and enter the capital of China openly, presumably the Napoleonic Emperor also explained your French ** team," Gro nodded, "So even if there is difficulty, it is a small matter," Ergin's eyes firmed, "My father participated in the first war against China, and he also went to the battlefield, This is much older than that stupid Pasha Li who was caught by the Chinese, and I can't lose the face of the Count Ergin family! Just keep attacking to the west! The Chinese are just like mosquito bites," Ergin ignored the few Indian soldiers who were bitten to death by poisonous snakes, "we hold on, as long as they suffer hardship, these undisciplined, unorganized harassment I believe will stop soon, they will honestly go home to farm, and then wait for us to end their lives!" ”
"Lord Earl," the herald carefully replied to the battle-worthy Elgin, "several wells in the town have been filled with garbage, disgusting things, and feces, and we are running out of water."
Ergin's face darkened, and then he let out a long breath, "It's okay, wait for us to go to the next place, or go to the nearby river, whether there is a water source, these Chinese, when we leave, we will burn this town!" Where will I stay in the future! ”
A group of soldiers who had gone to search the town returned, empty-handed, and one of the leaders took a blank piece of paper and said to Ergin: "Lord Earl, there is no grain or grass in the town, and there is no silver, and on one wall I have this piece of paper, which seems to have the seal of the Chinese government on it." ”
Ergin took the piece of paper, the ghost painting on it like Chinese characters, and a square and bright red seal, intuition told him, Ergin felt that maybe the recent encounter with the British and French troops on the battlefield should be related to this thing, beckoned to call the interpreter, and asked what this thing was, the interpreter came to his eyes, and his body trembled as if he had goat epilepsy, swaying back and forth, beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, the blood on his face receded, and his mouth trembled and couldn't speak, Ergin asked, The interpreter stammered and couldn't speak, Ergin's brows furrowed, and he impatiently took out his pistol from his waist, "Tell me, what kind of bullshit is written on this paper," so that you, a person who has seen the world as a translator in Guangzhou City, is afraid of being like this! "If you don't work hard like this again, I'll send you back to your hometown!"
"Lord Earl," the interpreter finally came back to his senses in the face of the threat of death, biting the tip of his tongue, and the original English with a Cantonese accent was even more unclear, but Ergin immediately heard the words in the interpreter's mouth, "The above is about killing foreigners and protecting China!"
