In a mountain depression ten miles away, Feng Xianghua was staring at the distant French artillery battalion and an infantry regiment of guards slowly walking towards him...

The Lion Wakes Up Chapter 49

Nigel loves his artillery battalion very much. The entire expeditionary force knows that the artillery battalion is Nigel's baby bump, so when the general army moves or attacks as a whole, an infantry regiment will be left to escort the artillery battalion.

Due to the frustration of the forward attack, Nigel hoped to use the strong firepower of the artillery battalion to go straight to Daqingshan through Dongling as soon as possible.Merge with another mixed brigade to defeat the Qing army on the green hills, and detour to the rear of Shanxi City.

An infantry regiment has 2000 people, and about 1000 people are arranged in front of and behind the artillery battalion.The entire escort was very strict, and Feng Xianghua had no chance.I suddenly found that the forward speed of the artillery battalion was much higher than before, and it was obvious that the artillery battalion was going to be used ahead.A quick march came. Although Feng Xianghua was very anxious, he knew that only when the French army marched in a hurry was the best time to destroy him.If he had maintained the marching speed and rigorous guarding situation just now, he would have no chance at all.

Feng Xianghua's battalion was in ambush in the narrowest part of the valley. Due to the huge cannons in the narrow valley, only part of them passed through.And the rolling valley became a natural shelter for Feng Xianghua's troops, watching the infantry in front slowly pass by.It was the turn of the artillery battalion. When the entire artillery battalion was in the middle of the canyon, Feng Xianghua yelled loudly, and the snipers ambushing in the valley accurately killed the front artilleryman and the two rearmost artillerymen.

At the mouth of the valley, only two cannons were allowed to pass side by side at the same time. For the sake of marching speed, the French army had four people pushing two cannons to pass at the same time.But at this time, the artillerymen pushing the cannons were attacked at the same time. The cannons were lying across the mouth of the valley, and the troops in front could not enter, and the cannons behind could not get out.Crowding in the middle was chaotic, and the situation behind was also very consistent. After the artillerymen pushing the cannon were attacked, the cannon also blocked the entrance of the valley.

Feng Xianghua threw all the explosives prepared in advance onto the cannon in the valley, and the explosives poured down like rain for a while.Seeing such a battle, those French artillerymen were so frightened that they lost their dignity as soldiers, and one by one they ran forward and backward like beggars scrambling to survive.The infantry guarding the front and rear didn't know what happened in the middle, and hurriedly moved closer to the middle.For a while, people pushed and crowded, everyone pushed each other, and some people were even pushed to the ground and trampled to death by their own people. The situation was chaotic.And after the explosives exploded in the valley, everyone seemed to know what happened.All find cover, or lie on the ground.

After the explosives exploded one by one among the cannons of the French army, Feng Xianghua laughed with relief.He finally did not let his father down, but after the French army's cannons became a pile of scrap metal, his brows frowned again.

There are only these two exits in the front and back of the valley, and now there are French infantry in front and back.The strength is four times that of our own side, after the last explosion.The infantry on both sides of the front and rear also slowly moved into the valley step by step. The commander of the first regiment of the French infantry was called Les, who was the person in charge of escorting the artillery battalion this time.But now that the cannons are all scrap metal, how can I explain to Nigel when I go back.

He frantically ordered the troops to move closer to the valley, and made a frantic charge to the southern highland of Feng Xianghua's troops.In his view, the cannon has been destroyed, if the Qing army that destroyed the cannon cannot be wiped out.Then after returning, he must be handed over to the Military Law Office, so whether for revenge or for himself, he must annihilate these Qing troops.It's best to catch him alive, so that he can alleviate some of his guilt!

Feng Xianghua followed his father's demeanor, and he was brave and tenacious in battle.In the face of enemies that are several times as much as his own, he has no timidity.Calmly commanding the troops to attack the rushing French army.

"Move a platoon in a row and move 50 meters in parallel to the south, and each company slowly moves their positions south." Feng Xianghua ordered calmly.

In the face of the frenzied attack of the French army, defending to the death is definitely not the answer.However, in order to facilitate the bombing of the French artillery, the position was set in the middle of the valley when setting the ambush location.But after blowing up the enemy's cannon, breaking out became a problem again.Both front and rear sides were blocked.If you rush down in the middle, you have no chance to break through.Therefore, Feng Xianghua hoped to slowly move his position southward until the troops moved to the mouth of the valley.Charge again, hoping to break out from Taniguchi.

Perhaps the French army had already seen through Feng Xianghua's plan, or perhaps it was because of the huge disparity in troop strength.Lesi has always deployed about 300 troops at the front and rear valley entrances.As for the successive attacks on the Qing army's positions, it may be discovered after several tentative attacks that the number of the Qing army is not large.Therefore, three attack echelons were formed, with more than [-] people in each echelon.Constantly impacting and ravaging the positions of the Qing army.

At this time, the battle had lasted for more than two hours, and the original Qing army position in the north had been captured by the French army.Now there are French troops on the front and sides, encircling Feng Xianghua's troops on the valley.

Looking at the Frenchman in front of him, Feng Xianghua threw the gun in his hand.Pulled out a sword given to him by General Zuo Zongtang from his waist, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers, you have made great contributions with me. The cannons of the French devils have been destroyed by us. The general has prepared a celebration banquet for us in Dongling! Brothers, fight out with me and return to Dongling to join the general! Kill!"

After hearing the disheartened Qing army, although they knew that there was little hope, they still took a deep breath and rushed down.I hope I can really break through the siege of the French army and return to Dongling.

A cruel, bloody hand-to-hand fight unfolded in the valley.

Feng Xianghua rushed out of the position like a cheetah, facing the rushing French army with a long sword in his hand and stabbing forward.

Puchi!

The French army rushing forward was stunned, and the French soldiers who wanted to capture the Qing army for meritorious service were instantly summoned back by their emperor.

"what--"

The surrounding French troops immediately rushed towards Feng Xianghua.

If it is said that Feng Xianghua's marksmanship barely reached the current level through diligent training later on, then his martial arts was honed from his father's campaigns in the South and North.When he was only 18 years old, he beheaded the enemy general on the battlefield when he was destroying the Taiping Army.Zuo Zongtang regarded him as a rare general in the Qing Dynasty.In particular, a sword made of fine steel was given to him.But Feng Xianghua, who is now 40 years old, is still extremely brave, holding a stainless steel sword in his hand, huh—the [-]-inch stainless steel sword is used by him as a machete, and the sharp edge of the sword draws a half-moon-shaped cold light in the air, rushing in the air. The chest of the three French soldiers in front was ruptured, and blood sprayed Feng Xianghua's face, and he fell head-on.

Seeing Feng Xianghua's bravery, the French army behind did not dare to approach, but the Qing army raised their spirits when they saw the bravery of the general, and rushed towards the French army below.

At the moment when the French army was stunned, Feng Xianghua was not idle.He rushed down with a stride, and stabbed three consecutive swords at the few French soldiers who did not dare to approach!

Pop, pop, pop!Accurately pierced the necks and throats of the three French soldiers, and the three were killed on the spot without even uttering a cry!

The Qing army followed Feng Xianghua all the way to Taniguchi, but there were only more than 100 people left.

Lesi has been in Vietnam for many years, and he also has experience in fighting the Qing army before.But I have never seen such a fighting force of the Qing army. Just a few hundred people just blocked the violent attack of the Republic Army for nearly 3 hours.And after encircling it, have the courage to raid from the front.Fighting all the way from the valley to the mouth of the valley, but all this should be over soon.Otherwise, this nightmare will be a shadow that he will never be able to shake off.

The French army attacking in the valley saw Feng Xianghua's bravery, and backed away in fright, while the French army defending at the valley entrance saw the Qing army rushing down, and continued to charge forward without knowing what was going on ahead. Make the formation disrupted.

"Quick, follow me." Feng Xianghua yelled at the remaining 100 soldiers around him.

But after all, the disparity in numbers was too great, and Feng Xianghua's hand holding the sword was numb from chopping.His physical strength was exhausted, and the French army in front rushed towards him as if they couldn't kill them all.

A few soldiers around him rushed up, trying to kill the general.Feng Xianghua raised his eyes to look, and the French army behind him had already caught up.The brother in charge of breaking the rear is also at the end of his strength, and he won't last long.

At this moment, he knew that the situation was over.But I still smiled proudly looking at the broken copper and iron in the valley, only I, Feng Xianghua, can do this!Today is the day I serve the court and the country.Thinking of raising the sword and killing the enemy in front...

"Kill!" The fighting spirit of the remaining dozens of Qing soldiers increased greatly. Relying on the desire to survive, they forced a bloody path at the entrance of the valley.

Le Si saw clearly at the mouth of the valley, he couldn't believe his eyes.Only a few dozen people managed to break through the 1000-man encirclement of the Great Republic Army.

Sitting on the horse, Le Si took out a rifle at Taniguchi and aimed at Feng Xianghua.

Feng Xianghua was also at the end of his strength at this time, and led dozens of soldiers to Taniguchi with his last energy.I was already covered in bruises, but I couldn't stop my steps, or I would be surrounded by the French army immediately after finally rushing out.

At this time, he saw a man on horseback aiming at him with a gun at Taniguchi. Feng Xianghua knew that this was his only chance.

He moved towards the man while beating, and there were about 20 guards around the man on horseback.At this time, there were only 8 people around him.

The valley entrance is quite narrow, and only four people can pass side by side.But there were a lot of abandoned cannons standing in the way, so the two could barely pass through together, and finally Feng Xianghua and others broke out of the encirclement and ran out of the Taniguchi.Seeing more than 20 people outside pointing their guns at him, holding their swords to the ground, they were panting greedily.He didn't pay attention to the more than 20 guns on the opposite side at all.

Several personal soldiers guarded him in front of him, and the two Qing soldiers behind him desperately resisted the French army at Taniguchi.Due to the narrow mouth of the valley, there was nothing they could do to the Qing army for a while.

But Le Si wanted to capture this general of the Qing Dynasty alive, so he didn't order to kill him.In my heart, I planned that the French army behind would break through the blocking of the Qing army at the valley entrance to capture all these Qing troops alive.

And Feng Xianghua seemed to feel something, and suddenly stood up.He walked slowly towards Le Si, and the six soldiers around him also followed him.

"Stop and take another step forward. I'll give the order to shoot." Le Si threatened.

"What do you call your mother? You are like a monkey. I will send you to see God today." Feng Xianghua cursed.

The man rolled forward out of thin air, avoiding the French army's gunshots.He got up and got on the horse directly to restrain Le Si on the horse, reined in the horse, and slapped the horse's butt with the sword.The army horses ran southward quickly...

The French army behind them did not dare to shoot for fear of accidentally injuring the regiment commander.Watching the two of them disappearing from my vision...

In this battle, Feng Xianghua's battalion was completely annihilated, destroyed an artillery battalion of the French army, and wiped out more than [-] enemies.Capture an army regiment commander, the rank of lieutenant colonel!

The Lion Awakens Chapter 50 Dongling Victory

Half an hour later, Feng Xianghua met a spy sent by his father Feng Zicai on the road.After seeing his troops, Feng Xianghua fainted from exhaustion.Two scouts, one with Feng Xianghua on his back, and the other with Le Si on their backs, quickly drove towards the Dongling position.

On the other side, Nigel has received news that the rear artillery battalion was attacked.The head of the infantry even let someone capture him alive. For a while, he couldn't believe this fact.

The lieutenant Tony next to him said: "General, without the cannon, we have lost our advantage in firepower. According to the battle just now, we can see that the firepower of the Qing army is not inferior to ours. Let's go back to Liangshan first. Since they can go around If we attack the artillery barracks from behind, we can also go around and surround us."

"No." Nigel had lost his mind at this time, "Since they went around to attack our artillery barracks, the Qing army in front of us has not many troops. I will attack Dongling tonight."

"General, according to the report from the 500st Infantry Regiment. All the Qing troops who made a sneak attack have been wiped out, only more than [-] people. And only one person went back." Tony persuaded patiently.

"This is impossible. 500 people attacked an artillery battalion escorted by an infantry regiment? Even the regiment leader was captured by others? It is impossible for the army of our Republic to be so miserable!"

Tony didn't want to believe it either, but he shook his head anyway...
