C268 Hills Fighting

Pierre's bad luck had been with him ever since his affair with the General's daughter seven years ago. The War Department had kept him hidden for seven years, and had given him only a few minor cases to investigate, and had even seconded him to a local police station for three years.

Xie Lifu was Pierre's good friend and had always wanted to find an opportunity to help him. However, due to the pressure from the general, he could only secretly exert some of his influence. Until this year, when the Major General left the army, Xie Lifu was ready to pull Pierre back to the Army Intelligence Service.

But he had never imagined that Pierre's bad luck was so great that the first case he had taken over was so serious that it involved a serious diplomatic conflict.

Pierre rushed forward and dragged down the Rangers, snatched the horsewhip and mounted his horse to rush to the south. "God bless us, we mustn't have any conflicts, we mustn't exchange fire, we mustn't let anyone die …"

At this time, Xie Lifu also went crazy, he rode on his warhorse and chased after them. As he ran, he also gave orders to the soldiers beside him.

"All of you, go down to the grape fields and rush along the slope. You must stop those pursuers and not harm the guests from the east …"

"Damn it, if a Chinese politician were to die in our hands, the government would definitely be attacked and blamed by all the enemies. At that time, we would be the scapegoats, and we would even be on the guillotine …"

The temporary resting place was only two or three kilometers away from the first outpost, and the galloping of the horses was only a matter of moments. Just as Pierre was about to shout, a terrifying sound of gunfire came from the east, startling a flock of birds and breaking his heart.

"It's over, it's all over …" Why am I so unlucky! " Pierre covered her face and almost cried. But at that moment, she heard a distant sound of gunfire, and her ears perked up.

"What is that sound?" Why was the gunshot so clear and dense? I'm familiar with all the guns in Europe. I've never heard of such a shot. " Pierre was stunned as he listened to the heavy rain of gunfire in the distance.

At this time, Xie Lifu also caught up to him, "That's Spencer! "It's a famous gun in the United States. You've been away from the army for too long, as well as the intelligence agency. It seems like you haven't had much contact with the intelligence network of the American Civil War."

"We can be saved, we can still be saved! These Chinese are fighting back, it means that the big shot is still alive …"

Two senior intelligence officer s spurred their horses and charged into the grape field, bringing their subordinates with them as they rushed straight towards the place where the gunshots were coming from.

Northeast of Burgundy was a large hilly area, which should have been the remnant of the Alps. The further east one went, the more complex the terrain became.

At this time, the Rangers's advantage in speed had already disappeared. There were countless boulders mixed in the middle of the small grape fields, and even the fields were littered with shattered rocks.

With such an environment, the horses could not even run. More than ten Rangers s could only dismount from their horses and chase after the stowaways.

"Stop …" If you don't stop now, you're going to shoot. Oh, maybe they don't know French, so I'll say in English... "Halt …"

"Changing English is useless, they are Chinese. You have to call them in Chinese!"

"Bullshit, can you speak Chinese? Is it possible for people to learn that kind of language that looks like a scripture from the heavens? "

"Both of you shut up, everyone take out their guns... Get ready to fire! " A dozen or so rigging guns were raised and pulled the triggers as the figures running in the distance jumped.

Pah pah pah … A stream of gun fire pierced through the morning mist, shooting towards Xiao Letian and the others.

"Lord, be careful …" The guards of the new army and the Prussian intelligence officer all rushed over as if they were insane, pressing Xiao Letian and his women onto the ground.

One of the Prussian intelligence officer's heart skipped a beat and fell onto Ping Er's leg. The blood in his mouth dyed Ping Er's cloak red.

"AHH!" Ping Er was just a girl that came out of Faculty Division. Although she had experienced Sun Sanhu's siege at Tanggu, she had still been hiding in her inner chamber the entire time. She had never seen such a bloody scene before, hence she had cried out in fear.

"Stop shouting, calm down …" Xiao Letian covered her mouth and hugged his, tightly hugging Fang Guan and her, "Don't be afraid, this grandpa is here, I'll protect you guys …"

When the sounds of gunfire behind them stopped, Dragon Lord flipped his body and jumped up from the ground with his Young Sparrow Hawk.

"Counterattack …" "Since we can't hide anymore, then let's fight with them. The French large nose are no big deal …" Dragon Lord was not only a Green Forest expert now, but ever since he experienced that tyrannical battle, his interest towards the fire spear had skyrocketed.

In the countless number of days that he did not stay on duty, Dragon Lord had dedicated his time almost entirely to shooting fireballs. Adding to his fact that he already had a good foundation in concealed weapons, the spear skills Dragon Lord had displayed in less than a year had already stupefied Ma Xiu and the others.

When Spencer starts shooting, people will understand the difference between weapons. The majority of the French people's musket guns were in the front, which was only a little higher quality than musket s.

This kind of gun fire suppression was not a match for the seven consecutive Spencer. Furthermore, the current King Yi had already adapted to the western style new army's fighting style, he actually brought five guards, three to one to cross fire protection and launched a counter-charge.

"The Dragon Lord will stay to protect Mister, and the rest will attack me in threes …" With that, King Yi and two guards rushed out. Behind them, three other guards were desperately tilting the firepower. The pressure of Spencer's bullets made Rangers unable to raise his head.

"Hide, everyone hide …" What the hell were these Chinese people using? Why were their firepower so powerful? Is it an American Spencer? "

"No no no, it's impossible for the Chinese to have such a powerful weapon, it must have been given to them by the Prussian … "Cover, cover with rocks …"

The third charge was the most familiar assault strategy practiced by the new army. The fire cover team started charging after only three rounds of salvo, and those who were under cover immediately stopped moving forward, providing suppression for their subsequent comrades.

Just like this, the two groups would continue to advance. While maintaining the suppression of the enemy's firepower, they would also be able to quickly approach the enemy. Once they got close enough, they would be able to unleash the powerful close-combat abilities of the new army.

The French Rangers never thought that the big fish that was caught would actually be a shark, and actually dared to counterattack. They didn't have time to load their ammunition again, so they had no choice but to take out their guns and sabers to engage the Chinese in close combat.

The arrogance of the French finally paid a bloody price, and as two groups of Chinese soldiers approached them, what awaited them was not close physical combat, but three black grenades.

Right now, the weapons and equipment of the new army under Xiao Letian had been upgraded quite a few times. The hand grenade that was previously made with bamboo tube had been replaced by the thin cast iron melon hand grenade. Even the ignition had been turned into a flint trigger, and there was no longer a need to light it with a flint.

Three grenades rolled through the air and crashed into the enemy's formations. Boom! Boom! Boom! After three violent explosions, six more Rangers were killed as if it was an explosion, while the rest were all injured.

"Super Knife... "Kill them all …" King Yi took the lead and pounced forward, but at this time, Xiao Letian shouted from behind, "Don't kill them, we have not come to Europe to cause contradictions, remember our mission … …"

In the nick of time, Xiao Letian stopped the massacre. King Yi and his subordinates stared at the confused and disoriented and spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

"Pui!" Just this kind of trash, had actually captured the Beijing? I really thought that you had three heads and six arms, but it turns out that you would die even if you were shot! "

Saying that, King Yi rushed up to the back of the soldiers who were still alive, and with a punch of his fist, he knocked them out. But right at this moment, more and more French soldiers rushed out from the grapes.

In this era where smokeless gunpowder was not common yet, every shot could expose the location of a soldier. It was as if a fog had formed in the grape fields.

"Retreat, we can't stay here any longer. These soldiers are just attacking us from all sides, our firepower is too scattered. We're not the opponent …"

Under Paul's command, the group of smugglers retreated while fighting. They relied on the rocks in the hills to shoot at the enemy, and under the cover of the crossfire, they quickly retreated to the east.

Xiao Letian supported Ping Er, Hu Niu supported him, the entire family ran while panting, and from time to time they would fall because of the rocks, causing Xiao Letian's head to hurt.

"I'm sorry, I originally wanted to take you on your honeymoon, but I ended up as a homeless dog … "Cough cough cough, once we escape from France, I will definitely make up for your perfect journey …"

Ping Er didn't have time to listen to her master's bullsh * t. She cried and said, "What the hell is this place? There are foreign devils everywhere who want to eat people. I don't want to do it, I want to go home …"

"Stop crying!" At this time, Hu Niu took out the prestige of a big house. A single sentence from him scared Ping Er to the point where she could hold back her tears.

"Why didn't you cry when everyone was arguing about coming out?" Now that he knew he was scared, what was he supposed to do? "So many people are running around for our lives. If you can't help them, don't cause any more trouble …"

Hu Niu's scolding made Xiao Letian speechless. He could only smile secretly at Ping Er apologetically, and continued to carry her forward.

After a battle with the Rangers and the pursuit of fire from the army, time quickly passed. When the sun was high in the sky and it was noon, Pierre and his reinforcements finally arrived.

"Stop firing! Everyone Stop Shooting... "The Chinese on the other side, please don't be afraid, we mean no harm, we will definitely not harm you …"

Paul was so angry that his mouth was crooked. Three Prussian intelligence officer were killed and two Chinese guards were injured in a battle just now. Shameless.

Paul raised his gun and aimed it at Pierre's direction. "Get lost, you damned French!"
