Feng Zicai's blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but have some itchy hands, "Lord Fang," he asked, "Our Cuijun is also a first-class hero, such a big battle situation, if you don't have a chance to fight, I'm afraid that you will regret it for life, please come and command the Cuijun and kill the French together!" ”

This is to hand over the power to command the army," is this true? Fang Hongyi raised his eyebrows and asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is natural," Feng Zicai laughed, "The old man can't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

"That's good, the army will rest in place," Fang Hongyi ordered, "Treat the wounded!" ”

"Lord Fang!" Feng Zicai was furious, "Is this looking down on Cui Jun?" ”

"There is no contempt, I still have important tasks to send to the Cui army," Fang Hongyi said indifferently, "I see that the dark trenches dug by the Cui army in the city are very good, I have two hundred sappers here, if you want to dig a trench outside the city, you have to arrange electric light cannons, but I am afraid that it will not work, if the Cui army can serve the country, then listen to my orders and make a good defense." If you're tired, it's okay to rest. ”

"Naturally," Feng Zicai touched his nose in a sneer, "But if you dig a trench in front of the city, it doesn't seem to be of much use, right?" ”

"Naturally, it's not in front of Lang Son City," the Qing army swept the battlefield across the plain like ants, "After Lang Son City, there is still a big battle to be fought!" At that time, there will naturally be a place for the army to play, but at the moment, "In the highlands on both sides of Langshan City, many French troops have retreated one after another, it can be seen that this Chu Yunfei, who has not yet met, has already controlled the situation in the highlands, and the horn sounded, and in a moment, the other two pairs of men and horses were condescendingly pounced on the high grounds, so that the Qing army gradually gained the advantage, "Send these French people first!" ”

There are a total of 23,600 people in the fifth town, except for more than 1,000 people stationed in Langshan City, 300 people in charge of ordnance and did not fight, the rest are all attacking, in terms of numbers, they have already overwhelmed the number of soldiers of the French army, Feng Zicai saw on the city wall that Fang Hongyi's command did not have the intention of encircling and annihilating them together, and he couldn't help but be very anxious, "Lord Dutong, now the number of French troops is not as large as ours, we can just surround this place in one go, and eat all the more than 10,000 troops of Mi Le, In this way, Beiqi no longer has to worry about anything, annihilate this department, and tomorrow he can directly attack the Shenglong Mansion! Why do I see what you mean, why do you only have a frontal battle, and no intention of encirclement? ”

The two armies have begun to fight, and the French army has gradually shown signs of defeat, Fang Hongyi was not in a hurry, and shook his head, "The number of French troops is not small, if I want to leave them all here, the price is too heavy, I not only have to cherish the troops, but also to fight this battle more beautifully, there is a saying that the trapped beast is still fighting, if the French are surrounded by us, at this time a battle to the death, we are afraid that we will suffer a big loss, now leave them a way to retreat, our firepower is superior, they will inevitably be defeated." ”

"But if the French army retreats and is not defeated, what kind of fight is it beautiful!" Feng Zicai gritted his teeth and said, the attack power of the Cui army is insufficient, and he could only watch the French army wreak havoc before, but now with such a mighty and heroic division, he never thought that he still had a posture of fear of death, which is really infuriating!

"Although I am the commander of the fifth town, and I am not the commander of this expedition, there will be two new towns to fight next, if I are all annihilated here, they will come, but they will fight with me," Fang Hongyi smiled, his temperament was excellent, although the soldiers around him were already very unhappy with Feng Zicai's impoliteness, and there was an angry expression on his face, but Fang Hongyi still had a calm look, "Besides, General Feng, if all these people are annihilated, the next reinforcements from the French will no longer be sent, So how is it called a national war? ”

"What do you mean?" Feng Zicai is not stupid, and seems to understand something, "A plan to lure the enemy?" ”

"Sort of, the Cui army has played his original role, successfully stuck to the attack of the French army, and forced them to send reinforcements to Beiqi," Fang Hongyi put down the binoculars, at this time the Qing army had begun to pursue, the French army slowly withdrew from the battlefield, marching towards the south, the Qing army was far away with the French army, not allowing him to retreat easily, the French did not lose the world's first-class army power, Rao is defeated, all the way to keep throwing corpses, retreat is still not panicked, Sometimes you can organize a few small detachments to fight a counterattack, and the French army in formation, surrounded by the Vietnamese servant army, retreated in the direction of Taiyuan City in the south, seeing that the battle was about to be won, Fang Hongyi instead ordered, "Order the cavalry to rush back and forth to kill, and keep these Vietnamese people behind!" ”

Feng Zicai thought about the cause and effect, and his heart couldn't help but be a little cold, "Could it be that this regimental training and extraction of the army are all used by the imperial court to lure the French army?" ”

"And the Black Flag Army," Fang Hongyi didn't answer yes or no, but said slowly, "If there is no big victory of the Black Flag Army, the French army in Saigon will not go north, there is no battle of Bac Ninh, I am afraid that the French army will not have more than 10,000 people now, if there is no interception and encirclement of the Cui army, sacrifice like this, presumably Miller will not bring all the Vietnamese troops to Lang Son, if you want to go to war with the French, if you don't beat them to hurt and bleed, presumably they will not be convinced, if the French army is in Vietnam, there are only a few hundred people, what kind of national war is it?" What kind of battle between two great powers? ”

In Miller's view, the Cuijun is an opponent that needs to be dealt with seriously, but will not spend too much energy, such an opponent, to the greatest extent aroused the interest of the French army, they seem to be able to perceive how China's armament strength is through the Cuijun, such a miscalculation allows them to quickly advance to Langshan, and except for Langshan, Taiyuan, Bac Ninh, Thang Long a line, no part of Beiqi has not fallen into the hands of the French army.

"War is to the death, old general," Fang Hongyi said, "the sacrifices of the brothers in the Cui Army will definitely be rewarded, please rest assured, these French soldiers are not what we need to pay attention to deal with at the moment, the greatest danger is still to come!" ”

"What's next?" Feng Zicai couldn't help asking, "How is the strategy?" ”

"Forgive me, my lord, this matter can't be revealed," Fang Hongyi shook his head and said, "There is only Xisheng in the palace, there is only one Shangshu of the military department in the court, only Zuo Xiang is on the front line, and the four of us know about this, even if other people know, they only know part of their implementation." Miller is so cautious, it doesn't hurt to let him be proud for a few days, and wait until the east wind to make a big plan! (To be continued.) )
