As the night deepened, Li Xianzhuang's torches gradually became sparse.
Five troops had already gathered in the forest not far from Li Xianzhuang. Everyone was on their horses and their weapons. In order to not expose their position, even the horses had wooden rafters tied to their mouths.
A few assistant leaders were carefully making their final calculations in the grass where Qi Muge was.
"Lords, the demons guarding the cannons and ammunition change shifts almost every four hours! And every shift would have a gap of thirty breaths!”
The assistant commander patted him on the shoulder and said,""Not bad, after the battle, I will take the first credit for you!”
"Thank you, my lord!" Qimu Ge said excitedly. "Sir, look, there's going to be a change!”
The assistant leader saw that the original French army was gathering and quickly ordered,""Qimu Ge, quickly go to the forest and get the brothers ready according to the plan. Once I give the order, all the teams will charge in according to the plan. Then, bring a few nimble brothers to set fire to the ammunition warehouse!”
"Understood!"
After everything was ready, the French guards left.
"Brothers, charge down with me.”The assistant commander decisively gave the order.
When Qimu Ge saw that the demon who came to change shifts had been killed by Zuo Ling's charge, he quickly led five cavalrymen to cross the wall and enter the courtyard that was filled with a large amount of artillery ammunition.
"Qimu Ge! What should we do?" A man with a lighter in his hand looked at the scattered wooden boxes and said, not knowing what to do.
"We can use gunpowder as a fuse!"”
"That's right!"
After confirming it, the few of them began to split up.
"Your Excellency, the White Demons have reacted. What should we do?”
The assistant leader, whose face was covered in blood, cut down a French soldier who ran out of the house and said,"Qimu Ge hasn't succeeded yet, we can't retreat. Tell our brothers to hold on for a while longer!”
In a heavily guarded courtyard of Li Xianzhuang, a few drunk generals were awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire.
"What's going on outside? Where did the gunshots come from?”Montoban took out the revolver at his waist and asked nervously.
"General, I think you're indeed old. This is our gunshot, and it only rang once. You're too sensitive. Perhaps one of our young men accidentally forgot to turn off the safety!”Yaman shrugged.
Just as Yaman finished her sentence, a few more gunshots were heard from outside.
Meng Toban glared at Yaman and said,""Looks like you really aren't a qualified general. You're too arrogant!”
Yaman lowered her head in shame and said,""Sorry, I think I should immediately go out and organize a resistance. Let those annoying yellow-skinned monkeys see how powerful we are!”
"Very good! I'll wait for your good news." Immediately after, Montoban said to Clint," General Clinno, immediately arrange for someone to go to the ammunition depot to take a look. This is our main defense point. As long as the ammunition is not destroyed, I think our 100 newest Armstrong Cannons will definitely make them regret being born into this world.”
"Yes, General!"
......
"Qimu Ge, are you done?" The man standing on the eaves shouted.
"Immediately!"
"It's too late. I see more than a hundred White Demons coming here!”
"What should I do? It was said that if they were caught by the White Demons, they would be eaten.”
Looking at his companions 'fearful eyes, Qimu Ge said,""You guys go first! It's good that I'm here!"
"How can this be? If you want to leave, we'll leave together."
"The gunpowder has been scattered. We just need to ignite it. Moreover, the more people there are, the easier it is to expose ourselves!”
"Alright, then be careful!”After saying that, the few of them quickly slipped out.
Outside the ammunition warehouse.
"Reporting to General Clinno! We found the corpse of a guard up ahead." A French soldier raised his head and puffed out his chest.
"Oh no! The thing he was most afraid of happened, but fortunately, he did not hear the sound of ammunition detonating.”Clint heaved a sigh of relief and led the soldiers to the courtyard.
"This damned Firebreak!" Qimu Ge said hatefully as he looked at the gunpowder that he had spent a lot of effort to ignite.
No, I have to leave this place as soon as possible. Just as Qimu Ge was about to leave, he heard the voice of the French army outside.
Therefore, Qimu Ge, who had already climbed up the wall, jumped down again, pulled out his saber, and hid behind the door.
"General, the door is locked. We can't open it!”
" Idiot!" the anxious Clint shouted." This is the Qing Kingdom, not our homeland. No one will hold you responsible for destroying this wooden door!"”
The soldier who was reprimanded saluted Clint, then took a step back and kicked the door.
"Pa!" The door opened." General, gunpowder, fuse!”The nervous soldiers of Fa Nation shouted.
"Go and put out the gunpowder!" Under Clinno's command, three to five soldiers from Hair Nation quickly ran forward.
Seeing this, Qimu Ge used his teeth to bite his braid. With a turn, he ran to the front of the soldiers from Fa Nation and slashed down.
Three meters!
Then, Qimu Ge started fighting with the other soldiers.
Clint saw this and quickly shouted,"Shoot!"”
"General, this will hurt our own people!”
"Bastard, if we don't shoot, we'll die too!”With that, Fa Jun raised his gun and fired inside.
Two meters!
When Qimu Ge heard the gunshot, he quickly rolled forward to avoid it. As for the other soldiers, they were not as lucky as him. They would never believe that they would die under the gun of their own people.
One meter!
"General, should we continue?”
Clint was speechless. "Young man, if you can run over in three seconds, I will ask His Majesty the Emperor to claim credit for you!”
"General, are you joking? This was at least 50 meters! I don't have wings."
"Then what nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to die, leave this place quickly!”Clint quickly retreated after he finished speaking.
As for Qimuge, he had already reached the roof when he flipped over. He waited for the French army to retreat before jumping down.
Perhaps it was God's blessing on him, but just as he jumped down a few steps, an explosion followed.
......
"Zuo Ling! Our brothers can't hold on any longer."
"No, if we leave now, all our previous efforts will be in vain!”
Before the assistant leader could finish speaking, the cavalryman who had been talking earlier stood in front of him and shouted,"Zuo Ling, be careful!"
"Ba Tu! Hold on, you're only sixteen years old. Your mother is still waiting for you to come home!”The assistant leader looked at the man who was vomiting blood in his arms and shouted.
Ba Tu opened his eyes with difficulty and said in a weak voice,""Big... My lord! I miss home. I miss our big…Grassland!" After saying that, he tilted his head and died in the arms of the assistant leader.
"Haha, that's it. Continue shooting!”Yaman, who had gone berserk, looked at the fallen Mongolian cavaliers and laughed out loud.
" Bang!" Gunshots rang out once again. After every gunshot, a few Mongolian cavaliers would fall. However, they continued to charge forward fearlessly.
As the distance between them was not too far, neither side had the upper hand. The Mongolian cavaliers who grew up on horseback would lower their backs and lean on the side of the horse to avoid the bullets. When they got close, they would shoot arrows. Almost every now and then, French soldiers would be shot.
After all, the disadvantage in numbers was too great. Furthermore, the French army's firearms were excellent. After a few rounds of face-to-face killing, nearly 300 Mongolian cavaliers had already fallen to the ground.
The Russians had sacrificed nearly 100 soldiers.
Seeing that the number of cavalrymen around him was dwindling, the assistant leader was about to make his last desperate charge when a loud boom came from the direction of the ammunition warehouse not far away. Pa!" 's voice.
The assistant leader was overjoyed and shouted,"Brothers! Retreat with me." After saying that, the assistant leader turned his horse around and charged towards the periphery of Li Xianzhuang.
