C267 Miscalculated Pierre

Life was full of drama. Just as the secret armory at the outskirts of hamburger was about to be attacked by the French spy and the new army was about to risk their lives to not go and save them, Xiao Letian and his group was finally stopped in a hilly area twenty kilometers north of Dijon.

In order to hide the fact that they had been discovered, Xiao Letian's group did not bring many guards. Including the guards provided by the Prussians, they only brought around twenty people, and more guards were spread out within a ten kilometer radius around them, guarding any suspicious targets.

This way of escorting would stop the French police and spies, but not the regular army. The lone Secret Police could be assassinated, and the suspicious soldiers could be lured away, but they could not do anything in the face of the regular army.

Today, there were two classes of troops blocking the road in front of Xiao Letian. As the French Army that was known as the strongest in Europe, they were at their peak right now.

"Look, in less than 15 minutes, the fortifications made from two sandbags were completed. Those antlers were made from branches from the local area. From this speed, we can tell they're all veterans …"

"There are also the grapes fields and forests on both sides of the road. I just saw ten soldiers enter and still haven't appeared. It's very possible that they are hidden sentries. They are truly worthy of being called elites!" "Everything is organized …"

Xiao Letian, Paul, King Yi and the rest were lurking behind a grape arbor. Through the gaps between the leaves, they used binoculars to look into the distance.

"It seems like these soldiers have been prepared. Right now, in the area with us as the center, we have intelligence personnel everywhere. These soldiers have not been led away, which means they have already guessed our movements. These Frenchmen are indeed very smart …" Paul's mood was exceptionally heavy.

Xiao Letian felt his emotions, patted his shoulder and consoled him, "This is also within my expectations, France has ruled over the continental Europe for so many years, if they did not have this little bit of power, they would have already died. A nation that can bring up such a talent as Napoleon has never been easy to deal with … "

The King Yi and the Dragon Lord observed the situation carefully and suddenly asked, "There are a total of ten soldiers that have entered the forest, and ten that are guarding the intersection. Can we disguise ourselves and sneak past them?

Paul shook his head after listening to Xiao Letian's translation, "The fact that the Frenchman dares to release such a small amount of troops means that this is only a forward post. There must be more soldiers manning the fortifications behind him. "I can promise you, as long as we break through this temporary barrier and can't get past a thousand meters, we'll definitely encounter even more enemies. I know them too well …"

"Then what do you think we should do? You Europeans know Europeans, and you must take responsibility for the safety of the Prime Minister! " Dragon Lord was excited.

Xiao Letian hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Alright, lower your voice, haven't you seen that the soldiers are suspicious of this place? Don't you understand? Paul fought his way here from Egypt with us, I believe in his decision … "

Paul carefully observed for a while, and as he expected, more than ten war horses came from the north. They were Rangers s from the army … "They really did set up many sealing lines …"

"We can't force our way in, it seems we have to suffer the Prime Minister, we can only walk and give up the road, we can only walk on the western side of the hill road, if it doesn't work, we will enter the mountains, and after going around these blockades, we would rather go several dozen miles of mountain road than stay here …"

Paul was right, the sky was already getting brighter. If they did not move towards the mountain range, they would not even need to wait for the French soldiers to find them, even the farmers in the village would be able to stop them.

In this life and death situation, even women were armed. Hu Niu was still fierce, with two full bullets in her revolver s that were hidden under her cape, even Ping Er and Fang Guan were given each of them a share.

The other guards began to inspect the Arms and ammunition, after organizing and equipping them for five minutes, the small team began to leave the main road, giving up on their carriages and horses, quietly sneaking towards the east from the grape field.

Dijon was the capital of the French province of Burgundy. Since ancient times, it had been known as the wine kingdom, producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay White Wine. It had always been one of the most expensive wines in the world.

It was now April, and the grapes were already sprouting and spreading their lush green color. Although they were not as flourishing as they were in the middle of summer, it was not a problem to conceal the figures of these Chinese people.

Just as Xiao Letian and the rest were getting further and further away from the main road, they suddenly heard a burst of shouts in French behind them. It turned out that the reinforcements from the Rangers had discovered the abandoned horse carriage.

"Report to Pierre and Xie Lifu immediately, we have caught a big fish. Look at the footprints these mysterious smugglers have fled to the west …"

"Young men, now is the time for our performance. Those weak Chinese people have been burned down by our palace, yet they do not dare to resist. They are like a flock of sheep.

The horse galloped straight into the grape fields, trampling who knows how many vines to death.

Five kilometers north of the temporary checkpoint, the carriage used as Pierre's temporary headquarters was parked quietly by the roadside. Inside the carriage, intelligence officer, who had been awake all night, was sleeping soundly under a blanket. Outside the carriage, Xie Lifu and a few tens of soldiers were guarding the bonfire making coffee, laughing and talking to each other.

Just as the aroma of the coffee was beginning to waft through the air, the sound of horse hooves came from the north, followed by the arrival of a cavalry soldier carrying the latest intelligence report.

"Sir, the latest telegram from the hamburger has arrived. The mysterious Chinese Mercenaries has appeared. There are a total of three hundred people …" Before he could finish his words, Pierre, who was inside the carriage, abruptly lifted the blanket and jumped down.

"What?" Appear... "Give me the information!" When he finished reading the information at a glance, it was as if his entire being had been shocked by lightning. "Impossible!" Was the information wrong? When did China have such elite soldiers? This is impossible... God, what kind of a big fish do we get? Is it a sea monster that can stir up trouble? "

Xie Lifu was startled after reading the information, "What's going on? Three hundred braids from the East who destroyed the plans of our French spies and saved the lives of over ninety orphans at the scene of fire have now become the heroes revered by the entire hamburger? Is this a new drama created by the people of hamburger? "

Under the threat of three tons of strong gunpowder, these Chinese soldiers resolutely rushed into the fire to save the orphans. This kind of fearless spirit was something rarely seen by European soldiers. Wasn't the declining empire in the east hopeless? How could he have such a strong army?

"Xie Lifu, look carefully at the lowest corner of the intelligence report. Each of these eastern soldiers have a certain level of English and German foundation, they are not only able to communicate with each other through speech, they can even write … Oh my God, an army with a 100 percent education rate, do we have one in Europe? "

"If I am not mistaken, this is not an ordinary army at all. This is a military regiment that is visiting Prussia! Had Prussia gotten so close to the Chinese? Is it even possible to dispatch military officials to each other? "

By this time Pierre had completely lost control of his emotions. He jumped up and shouted in the direction of Paris, "Shameless politicians, useless government, they are a bunch of pigs, a bunch of dirty pigs... Had the empire's intelligence service become so chaotic? "We didn't even find any clues?"

"A dereliction of duty, this is a serious dereliction of duty... They should all go to the gallows! " Pierre's anger was justified. According to the intelligence he had gathered, the literacy rate could reach 100%. Moreover, everyone of them were an army with noble character. It was impossible for them to be ordinary soldiers.

A group of three hundred officers quietly snuck into the hamburger. The French side was completely unharmed, so why would such a useless intelligence agency exist?

What was even more terrifying was that since the Chinese Army s were already at the same level as the military officials, then what exactly was the identity of the big fish that snuck over to meet up with these military officers?

"Oh God, we were wrong, we missed the most important point, and that is the diplomatic dispute... "Hurry, hurry, hurry! Inform all the checkpoints that we cannot harm this group of stowaways. The leader must be a statesman with an extremely high status …"

Xie Lifu was also afraid, he felt a chill down his spine, the Chinese people could do whatever they want to catch them, but if the other party was a statesman with an extremely high status, then his entire plan would have to change.

"That's right, that's right. You're right. We can freely mock the weakness and incompetence of the Chinese. But those politicians who can represent hundreds of millions of people must be treated with respect. If we kill a Chinese politician, the entire Europe will blame us. The national image will plummet …"

Before Xie Lifu could finish, Pierre interrupted him, "Not only that, the actions of these army officers have already conquered the hearts of the entire hamburger, these Prussian will definitely praise them greatly, such heroic deeds will spread throughout Europe … "What if we kill the leaders of these military orders in this storm?"

"My God, how much less support will our government have? How much damage would the prestige of the His Majesty the King suffer? After all, our The French people is the most romantic race. Not only do they yearn for love, they also yearn for heroes! Who could bear the crime of killing a hero! "In any case, I won't recite it …"

Just as the two were about to go crazy, a war horse rushed over from the south road. Rangers, who was a long distance away from the horse, started to shout loudly.

"Sir..." We've got a big fish... The Chinese have fled westward on foot from the village of the mill, and our captain is in pursuit with his men... "

"Sir, please rest assured …" "Even if we can't bring them back alive, we will bring you the corpses of our enemies …"

"Aooo …" Pierre's vision went black when he heard this and he almost fell to the ground. He said painfully, "God, please don't let me take the blame. I really can't!"
