Daming Military Empire

Chapter 656 Boldly Try New Tactics
On this day, near noon, when it was time to bury the pot for cooking, smoke rose from the No. [-] bastion of the French Army in the Pyrenees Mountains, and a seductive smell came from the barracks. The soldiers on guard everywhere could not bear it. I was swallowing my saliva, I was hungry, and I was about to eat, everything seemed so normal.

However, Bliss, the bastion guard, smelled the tempting smell, but he didn't have any appetite, because the food in the bastion could not last for a few days, and he knew very well what the consequences would be if the food was cut off. eat.

Right now he was pacing back and forth on the third-story tower of the bastion, and he was really anxious.

When this month's food was not delivered on time, he felt something was wrong. The bastion sent people to lead the way, but none of the people who led the way came back!
He knew that something must have happened. Due to the perennial wars, there are more or less rogues in both Western and French countries, especially in the Pyrenees mountains where the two countries meet. It is a frequent haunt of rogues. They are hungry It is not impossible to grab military rations.

As for the possibility of the enemy intercepting food, he never considered it at all, because the French army built bastions on all the passages through the Pyrenees, and it was impossible for the enemy to pass through the defense line and run to them silently. go back.

Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case. Not to mention tens of thousands of troops, even an army of several thousand people needs to bring a considerable amount of food, grass and supplies, such as food, tents, quilts, etc., without these, let alone If there is a war, survival will be a problem.

It is obviously unrealistic for all these things to be carried across the mountains by people. They have to be pulled through the mountain passages, and all the passages are blocked by them. Therefore, in his opinion, the enemy does not exist. , it is impossible for an enemy to appear behind them.

Because of the preconceived idea that they were rogues, he only sent a thousand people in the first batch, thinking that if there were not many rogues, these thousand people would take back the food. If there were too many rogues, they could still come back for help, after all The mountain road leading to the outside is only more than a hundred miles long. If you ride a horse, you can report back soon.

As a result, two days after the first batch of more than a thousand people were sent out, there was still no news. He was really shocked. What a large-scale gangster this is!

He had no choice but to send half of the people in the bastion to get the food back, otherwise, the food would really run out.

He has always preconceived that they are rogues. No matter how large the rogues are, with 5000 people passing by, the possibility of defeating them is very small. Even if they really cannot be defeated, it is impossible to be wiped out.

These 5000 people have been sent out for another two days. Even if they didn’t meet the bandits, they have left the mountain area. It’s time for news. Why is there still no news?
Just as he was burning with anxiety, the sentinel on the tower suddenly pointed to the north and shouted: "General, look."

Hearing this, Bliss quickly raised the binoculars in his hand and looked towards the intersection to the north.

I saw a large group of French soldiers gushing out from a distant intersection, more and more, more and more, the number was at least four thousand or more.

Because the distance is too far, it can't be seen clearly through the telescope, but judging from the clothes, it is indeed a French soldier.

Bliss was surprised and happy. The happy thing is that the second batch of people sent out finally came back, and the loss should not be large. The surprise is that these people seem to have fled back, and all 5000 people were beaten. How big is the scale of this rogue bandit?

At this moment, he didn't even think that the enemy army was playing a sneak attack. His mind was full of rogues, rogues, rogues, how many rogues there are!
With a mind full of doubts, he kept looking at the subordinates who had fled back. The figures in the binoculars gradually became clearer, and finally he could see their faces clearly. However, only the faces and bodies of the hundreds of people in front were still clean. I can recognize the appearance, but the faces behind are all black, the clothes are also torn, and the blood is stained, so I can't recognize them at all.

He searched the crowd in the front row for a while, and finally found a major he knew. After that, he searched the crowd for a while, but couldn't find anyone with a higher rank.

At this time, the rout was less than a mile away from the bastion. He thought for a while and ordered: "Open the gate on the first floor and let Major Bastian come up to report the situation immediately. The others let them go back to the camp and wait Order."

After that, he lifted his foot and walked to his office.

The messenger ran all the way to the first floor, conveying General Bliss's order to have the city gate opened, and then stood at the door, waiting for Major Bastian to come over so that he could take him to see General Bliss.

In the rout of the army, Fu Yunlong, who was mixed behind the French captives, watched the city gate secretly, while staring nervously at Major Bastian in front. This guy has the highest rank among the captives who surrendered. Can you trick the city gate into opening? It's up to this guy.

The city gate was getting closer and closer, so close that he could see the faces of the guards above him clearly, and he became more and more nervous. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual about those guards, and it seemed that there was still hope for tricking the city gate into opening.

Just when he was too nervous, the city gate suddenly opened!
Fu Yunlong's eyeballs almost fell out, what's going on?

The gate of the city is actually opened, is there an ambush inside!
Regardless of whether there was an ambush or not, he couldn't retreat, because their disguised defeated army was less than a hundred steps away from the city gate.

Bite the bullet, he gritted his teeth and ordered coldly: "Prepare to seize the city gate."

Following his order, a dozen carefully selected special forces masters quickly squeezed forward under the leadership of an instructor who is proficient in French, and they squeezed until Major Bastian, who was at the front, stopped. .

The defeated army finally approached the city gate. Major Bastian was also dumbfounded at this time. The Ming army taught him how many tricks to open the city gate. The problem is that the city gate has been opened now. What to say.

what to do?He was dragged into the door opening by the instructor of Jinyiwei and a dozen or so experts of the special forces in such a stupid way. Before he could speak, an orderly ran up to him and said loudly: "Major Bastian, Bu General Reese asked you to report immediately."

It turned out that this was the case, the master of Jinyiwei who led the team immediately winked, and a dozen special forces quickly scattered to both sides, seemingly to make way for the passage in the middle of the city gate, but in fact they were going to kill the French soldiers guarding the gate.

More and more rout soldiers poured in at the door, and the soldier who came from the door shouted dutifully: "General Bliss has an order, and I order you to return to the camp and wait for the order."

After shouting, he glanced at Major Bastian, turned around and walked in.

He meant to ask Bastian to go see General Bliss with him, but Bastian didn't move, it was the drill guard beside him who moved. , the scene is extremely chaotic, it's time to do it.

The Jinyiwei instructor directly drew out his dagger, followed up, covered the mouth of the messenger, and stabbed the dagger directly into his back, which gave him a chill.

Seeing the instructor start, other elite special forces drew out their daggers one after another, and stabbed all the soldiers guarding the gate to death. Then, special forces disguised as French soldiers swarmed in, and the first floor of the city gate was easily taken down. Already half the battle.
