Huang Bai stood on the city tower and saw dozens of soldiers approaching. He sneered. He looked at the soldiers beside him and shouted loudly: "Send the order and let the foreign dogs enter the city. No attacks are allowed. Humph, dozens of soldiers are allowed to enter the city." How much capability can a soldier use?"
The soldiers went to deliver the order, and a company of soldiers quickly entered the city.
The company commander leading the troops stood in the city, his eyes rolled around, he looked around, and found that there were no ambushes around. He immediately looked up at the city tower, trembled immediately, and said, "Let's get out."
The company commander came and went quickly, leaving in the blink of an eye.
When Huang Bai saw the departing company commander, he whispered the word 'idiot', and then quietly waited for the foreigners outside the city. Anyway, he was already prepared. How to fight next depends on the foreigners' decision. .
The company commander wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, came to Russell, and reported: "Your Excellency, Commander, the city is empty, there are no soldiers patrolling, no soldiers stationed, and it seems there is no ambush."
When he said these words, the company commander's tone did not sound confident.
It was difficult for him to judge whether there was an ambush or not.
Russell did not doubt it and immediately said: "Okay, let's fight in first and then talk about it."
"Wait a minute."
At the critical moment, Ma Hui stopped him.
Russell asked: "Mr. Ma Hui, what do you think?"
Ma Hui stared at the position of Huang Bai on the city tower and said coldly: "Whether there is an ambush in the city can actually be easily determined. The company commander who led the troops before entered the city again, and then roared and charged towards the city tower. , I believe I can find out the situation in the city in an instant, after all, the general stationed in Xiaoshui County is still on the city tower."
Ma Hui stared at the company commander with a smile, blinked his eyes, and said with a smile: "If there is no ambush in the city, we can go directly to kill the Owlshui County guard and seize the commanding heights of the city tower. It will also be beneficial for us to enter the city. If there is an ambush, After drawing out the ambush, we immediately launched an attack, which can be regarded as knowing where the ambush is."
When the company commander heard this, his legs suddenly trembled.
If you rush in and yell, you will definitely be shot.
It's not that he didn't think of a way to fight to the top of the city tower. In fact, as a company commander who can lead dozens of soldiers, he has a certain degree of vision and scheming. Naturally, he thought of the method mentioned by Ma Hui. But for his own safety, he retreated obediently and did not explore the situation in the city in detail.
Now when I hear Ma Hui's words, it is undoubtedly like being struck by lightning.
Russell didn't care about so much. He only cared about the results and directly ordered: "Go and investigate again. According to Mr. Ma Hui's instructions, we must determine the situation in the city."
The company commander wanted to refuse, but he didn't dare, so he led the soldiers into the city again.
Huang Bai saw the company commander leading soldiers into the city again. He did not guess the purpose of the enemy's entry into the city, but still did not let the soldiers in the city attack. After the company commander entered the city, he immediately shouted: "Kill the towers and capture the generals who are defending the city alive. "With this loud roar, gunfire rang out immediately in the city, and several soldiers fell directly to the ground.
Obviously, the soldiers who were ambushing in the city became anxious after hearing this, so they opened fire. Huang Bai heard the gunshots below the city tower and sighed softly. He did not expect that the other party would react like this. Immediately, the expression on Huang Bai's face changed again. He regained his composure and ordered: "Fire."
With an order, the ambush troops in the city immediately attacked.
After the company commander led out the ambush, Russell finally knew that there was an ambush in the city and ordered an attack. Thousands of soldiers rushed into the city with guns in hand. On the city tower, Huang Bai's soldiers launched a counterattack, and at the same time, the ambush troops in the city also opened fire. Guns were fired, and the two sides fought at the gate of the city tower. Rahel's army continued to attack, and Huang Bai, the general stationed in Xiaoshui County, kept guarding.
The war continued for a day, but Russell and Adams did not capture Xiaoshui County.
In the evening, the war came to an end.
Russell and Adams ordered their troops to withdraw and station themselves outside the city.
Huang Bai asked his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and immediately sent someone to Xi Changzhen in Qinghua City to report the battle situation in Xiaoshui County, indicating that he could definitely hold Xiaoshui County. At the same time, Huang Bai also asked people to observe the situation of the foreign camp to determine whether there was an attack. opportunity, but both Adams and Russell were veteran generals who had led the army for many years. They were steady and steady, and the camp's defense was very good, leaving Huang Bai no chance for a sneak attack.
In the next few days, the two sides fought continuously, and the fighting was quite fierce.
However, Russell and Adams still failed to win and were still blocked outside the city.
…
Thanh Hoa City, in the military camp.
In the Chinese army's tent, Xi Changzhen took the battle report sent back from Xingyang County, stared at it for a long time, and murmured to himself: "Li Zhen, Li Zhen, after so many years, I didn't expect you to pursue Vietnam again. It's really haunting." Come on, in this battle, I will definitely let you taste the taste of failure and let you go back to where you came from. This land of Vietnam is not something you can interfere with."
"Report." A soldier's voice came from outside the camp.
Immediately, the soldier walked in and said, "Commander, there is news from General Huang Bai of Xiaoshui County."
As he spoke, he handed over the battle report of Xiaoshui County.
Xi Changzhen took the battle report, waved the soldiers to leave, and then read the battle report carefully. After reading it, Xi Changzhen frowned, because this time the attack was mainly in Xiaoshui County and Xingyang County, Xi Changzhen immediately walked to the map , hunched over, staring at the map carefully, his eyes fixed on the two places that were attacked, and finally his eyes fell on Nanming Pass.
After stopping for a long time, a smile appeared on Xi Changzhen's face.
"Here comes someone." Xi Changzhen stood up straight and shouted.
The soldier came in and stood with a slight bow.
Xi Changzhen asked: "Have there been reports of the battle at Nanming Pass in the past few days?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "Never."
Xi Changzhen nodded, with an expression on his face that he understood the situation of the war. He said in a deep voice: "Immediately send orders to Hu Zhiguang, Huang Bai, and Zhou Chen. Li Zhen has only attacked Xingyang County and Xiaoshui County at present. This is a plan to attack the east and attack the west. The final intention is to attack Nanming Pass to prevent them from exposing Li Zhen's plan and continue to act. At the same time, Zhou Chen is ordered to defend Nanming Pass and wait for me to lead my army to fight Li Zhen at Nanming Pass."
"Yes." The soldier immediately went to deliver the message.
Xi Changzhen walked back and forth in the camp alone, feeling increasingly excited.
He determined Li Zhen's ultimate goal and was ready to fight Li Zhen.
Xi Changzhen wanted to lead his army to leave Thanh Hoa City, but in order to prevent the news of his departure from leaking, he directly ordered the soldiers to implement martial law and implemented the rule of no entry and no exit, prohibiting the people in the city from leaving Thanh Hoa City to prevent him from leading his troops to Nanming The news about the pass was leaked, and then Xi Changzhen led more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to leave and went straight to Nanming Pass east of Qinghua City.
