The road here is divided into two openings. To the east, you can go to Agartala City in Tripura, and to the south, you can go to Gosiba City. This location is very critical, so Xi Changzhen set up a checkpoint here. Everyone who enters Gosiba is inspected, but there is a neat team outside the checkpoint. This team is obviously the British army coming from New Delhi in the north.
They did not directly fly under the banner of the British army, but appeared as mercenaries, an army invited by the puppets supported by James Bruce.
Although the reasons are high-sounding, they are not practical.
The leader of the army was a British colonel, leading a brigade of 3,000 people. This team was close to one-third of James Bruce's troops. He only had more than 10,000 people in his hands, and most of them were controlling puppets. , the colonel’s name is Vita, he is forty years old and has been in India for eight years.
He was wearing a neat and conspicuous military uniform, with an upright body and a clear-cut face.
This man is a professional soldier.
Weta came to the checkpoint, stared at the soldiers guarding the checkpoint, and said in a deep voice: "I have been waiting here for a day, and up to now, I haven't waited for Xi Changzhen to arrive. If Mr. Xi Changzhen doesn't come, wouldn't I have to wait for him to arrive?" Are you waiting here forever? Please get out of the way, I have to enter Gosbah."
The soldier guarding the gate looked serious, shook his head and refused: "Colonel Vita, please wait a moment. I have sent someone to report the news to Lord Xi Changzhen, and now Lord Xi Changzhen is coming quickly, so please wait a moment. .”
Vita held his head high and said loudly and arrogantly: "I came here to defeat the Chinese army and to help you. Why do you stop me again and again? Could it be that you have some intention?"
The soldier in charge immediately straightened his face and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, that's nice to say. Who knows what your intentions are. If you enter Gosiba City, you will not help us defeat the Chinese army, but will be the first to help China." If the army attacks us, won't it cause us great harm? As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and I will never let you pass without the order from Lord Xi Changzhen, unless you step on my corpse."
The soldiers were tough, and Vitaton felt helpless.
Vita really wanted to yell, I'm really here to help.
Unfortunately, no one believes it.
Weita had no choice but to walk around in circles. Time passed and Weta waited for another half an hour, but still no sign of Xi Changzhen. At this time, Weta couldn't wait any longer because he thought Xi Changzhen was not sincere at all. None. Vita looked at the soldier in charge and said in a deep voice: "I solemnly say, please get out of the way immediately. I am here to defeat Li Zhen. As for this small city of Gosba, I still have to look at it." Not pleasing to the eye."
"impossible."
The soldier shook his head and refused directly.
Vita pulled out his gun, pointed it at the soldier, and shouted: "Give me or not."
"Brush, brush, brush,,."
The soldiers from a brigade behind Vita also raised their guns and aimed at the soldiers at the checkpoint, ready for battle. The soldiers brought by Vita were a brigade and powerful, but there were only more than a hundred soldiers who set up the checkpoint. The force is not strong. If there is a fight, the soldiers guarding the gate will never be able to stop it. However, facing the strength of Vita, the soldiers hold their heads high and say loudly: "I have already said that before Lord Xi Changzhen arrives, we will never let him go. Unless you step over my body."
"Asshole, who dares to target my soldiers?"
A loud shout came from behind.
There was a sound of horse hooves, and a fiery red figure galloped over.
Xi Changzhen came on his red horse and stopped at the edge of the checkpoint.
He raised his head, stroked his long beard under his chin, pointed his whip at Vita, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who are you? How dare you use a gun against my soldiers? Put down the gun immediately, otherwise I will treat you as for the enemy."
Vita made a move and everyone immediately put down their guns. Vita smiled and said: "Your Excellency Xi Changzhen, this is actually a wonderful misunderstanding. I am worried about the situation in Gosiba City and that Zhang Zhidong will launch a fierce attack. I am anxious. Clashed with soldiers guarding the checkpoint."
Xi Changzhen snorted, looked at the defending soldiers, nodded and said: "You did a good job, they are my soldiers."
The soldier touched his head and smiled.
Xi Changzhen rode on the horse, stretched out his hand to stroke his beard, and said, "What do you call me, Your Excellency?"
Vita immediately said: "Mr. Xi Changzhen, just call me Vita."
"Your Excellency Vita, since you are here to help, then everything in Gosiba City must be decided by me, and you are the guest. Since the host and the guest are clearly distinguished, I hope you will abide by the principle of host and guest and do not regard yourself as the master here. With this understanding, I think we can continue to cooperate, what do you think?"
Xi Changzhen Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and had an aura of his own.
Seeing this, Weita said in his heart that Xi Changzhen was indeed as arrogant as the intelligence said. He had a mission to bring troops to Gosba City this time, and it was impossible to conflict with Xi Changzhen. He nodded and said: "Mr. Xi Changzhen is from Gosba City." Master, there is no doubt about this. This time I led troops to help you defeat Li Zhen, and I also collected money to help you eliminate disasters. Please rest assured, I will abide by the rules."
Xi Changzhen glanced sideways at Vita and snorted coldly: "You don't tell secrets in front of people. You don't need to hide your identity in front of me. You can't deceive me."
Vita smiled and did not explain.
What needs to be said must still be said, and cannot be dictated by words.
Xi Changzhen waved his hand and said: "Let's go, follow me back to Gosiba City to discuss the strategy of attacking Zhang Zhidong." He turned his horse's head, without even looking at Vita, and then retreated with the following guards. .
Vita touched her nose and shouted: "Let's go."
A brigade of soldiers immediately formed a team and followed Vita towards the city of Gosba.
Fifteen miles is not far. In Vita's view, this distance is really not worth mentioning. He has arrived at Gosiba City without feeling anything yet. Standing outside the city, Vita looks at the bombed-out buildings. The city wall nodded slightly, inferring from this point that the battle between Xi Changzhen and Zhang Zhidong was indeed fierce, otherwise the city wall would not be in such a bad state.
Xi Changzhen glanced at Vita, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he felt happy in his heart. He shouted: "Let's go into the city. Today we will discuss the strategy carefully and launch a counterattack as soon as possible."
Vita did not doubt his presence and led the army to the military camp in the city.
Xi Changzhen led Colonel Vita and a brigade of the British army straight to the military camp. After entering the camp, Xi Changzhen placed Colonel Vita's brigade alone, and then led Colonel Vita towards the command post.
After Xi Changzhen sat down, he smiled and said: "Colonel Vita, welcome to Gosiba City."
Colonel Vita's heart skipped a beat, there was something wrong with what he said.
