, wonderful and free of pop-ups! A burst of Qi surged up in his Dantian, and he suppressed the urgency. Master Long's kung fu was not in vain. He raised his hand to stop the orderly who wanted to help him, and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down as much as possible.
He looked at the old ginseng leader and said to the orderly, "Help my father-in-law to rest nearby...Yujiro Maeda! Come here and explain the military situation clearly to me!"
Maeda Yujiro struggled to stand up from Date Baixie's arms. His face was pale and he shouted with a standard military salute: "Report to the general, our department has been ordered to follow Kirigakure-sama to raise food and fodder and guard the rear. At Xiaodomon A strange incident occurred at the ferry..."
Maeda Yujiro tried his best to repeat everything that happened yesterday to today in a concise and concise way. When the people present heard that General Ningguta Hunchun actually blocked the ferry and prevented supplies from crossing the river, everyone clenched their fists in anger. Grip.
When the enemy's vanguard came over, the veterans at the Tumen Village ferry finally chose to die for their country and died with the enemy. People were filled with tears of excitement.
When Yongjiro told them that they were tortured in the deep forest to extract confessions, and after receiving the shocking news, everyone present was extremely shocked.
"Report to the general, we have verified the prisoners' confessions. They were all tortured separately. In the end, the confessions of three people were completely consistent, indicating that the enemy's situation is true..."
"A total of two forward divisions rushed to the Far East first, with a total of 20,000 people. The general commanders are Gogol and Furmanov... There will be three divisions later, all heavy cavalry divisions with 10,000 people..."
"The commander of the legion is Fadeyev, a famous general of Tsarist Russia in Central Asia. The rebels in Agub were trained by his subordinates... and in many cases they even directly sent troops to assist the rebels..."
"It was an imperial edict from the Forbidden City that the enemy entered the Qing interior from the mouth of the Songhua River. Heilongjiang General Tepuxin and Ningguta General Hunchun both received secret edicts from the Qing court... It is said that these beasts burned, killed and looted when they passed through Sanxing City. Got it!"
With a bang, Xiang Shaolong punched a hole through the table. "Shameless! Is this still a human being? Cooperating with foreign devils to kill people of his own race, does this have any human heart..."
The headquarters immediately exploded. "Don't hesitate, general! Go with them. We will kill as many as they come... First kill these Cossack vanguards, and then return to Jilin and fight to the gate of Ninggu Tower! Since they don't want this If we have a piece of land, let’s manage it ourselves!”
"Yes! Kill across the Wusuli River and make the Qing court pay the price! Tooth for tooth, blood for blood!"
The crowd was buzzing and noisy, and Xiang Shaolong yelled, "That's enough! Shut up..." People looked at the general quietly, waiting for his latest order.
But at this moment, what else could Xiang Shaolong think of? All kinds of information were swirling in his mind, and he had no idea how he should make a decision.
Fifty thousand cavalry, which is far more than the total strength of the Volunteer Army, and after a night of bloody battles, the Volunteer Army has lost a lot of its troops, at least one third. How can we fight with insufficient troops?
Looking at the combat effectiveness, the enemies are all elite Cossacks, equipped with one person, two horses or even three horses. They come all the way to eat and sleep on horseback. Not the most elite cavalry does not have this ability. How can I fight a group of professional killers against a man who has been training for half a year?
Ask the Prime Minister for help? The Prime Minister has already sent the Zhiyuan over, and the military expenditures provided can be said to be as much as he wants. The weapons and equipment are so many that even the powerful European armies cannot match them. How can he have the dignity to ask the Prime Minister for help?
Besides, where does the prime minister still have any soldiers? Really let the sailors come ashore? Shame on you! Shame on you!
Master Long was immersed in impatience, anxiety, and contradictions. On the one hand, he knew that this tough battle could not be lost, and he could not retreat, so he had to grit his teeth and charge forward.
On the other hand, he was reluctant to make too many sacrifices. If the bones of the volunteers were broken, there would be no foundation for the founding of the country in the future.
If the vitality is really severely damaged and 90% of the battle damage is done, then the Manchu and Qing Dynasties may take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. This is not a joke. It is really possible. Given the shamelessness of those people, such a thing can really be done. .
Worrying about gains and losses! Xiang Shaolong fell into the trap of worrying about gains and losses and was unable to extricate himself.
"General! General, you have to make up your mind! The enemy's vanguard consists of a regiment. Now a battalion has just arrived, and more than a thousand people are coming soon... How should we deal with it!" Maeda Yujiro couldn't help it. .
Just at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the command headquarters. The moment the voice appeared, the whole audience was stunned. "Where is the Kirigakure kid? I've been listening for a long time. Why didn't I report the Kirigakure kid's situation..."
The person who walked in was Xiao Letian, who was wearing a sapphire blue generalissimo uniform, and behind him, apart from a group of imperial guards, was Zai Chun, who was all red.
The little emperor had just heard with his own ears the news that the imperial court had betrayed the volunteers. He had never imagined that his uncle and E Niang would actually choose to cooperate with the Rakshasa ghost. Don't you understand that people who are not my race must have different hearts? How could you do such a thing? What a shame!
This is the difference in values. After all, Zai Chun has been baptized with a certain degree of nationalism. When he considers problems, he will add the variable of nation.
On the surface, Yi Wei, Ci Xi and others were doing it for the good of the Manchu ethnic group, which seemed to be a kind of nationalism, but it was a deceptive cover-up. Those people actually put the Eight Banners system, that is, the interests of that military group first.
Everything they do is to safeguard the interests of the Eight Banners military group and maintain this group's permanent control over China. The so-called interests of the Manchus are actually second to none. This is how they can feel comfortable betraying their country, even selling the black soil of the White Mountains. The reason is.
Zai Chun felt that everyone was digging into his flesh with their eyes at this moment. He wished he could find a mouse hole to crawl in. In the end, Xiao Letian noticed something strange about him.
Xiao Letian patted his shoulder and whispered, "The responsibility is not on you, you don't have to take the blame for them...be strong!"
Everyone present collectively saluted the Prime Minister. Maeda Yujiro said loudly, "Kirigakure-sama, lead the remaining four hundred cavalry all the way east. She is going to meet Hunchun, the general of Ning Guta! She said that she will go to the meeting alone to force Hunchun to defect!"
"Ah!" Xiang Shaolong was horrified, "Nonsense, who does she think she is? Only a madman would attempt such an impossible task, are you looking for death!"
There was a loud bang, and it was Xiao Letian kicking the table over. "What nonsense? Even if it was nonsense, at least she gave it a bold try! She chose action at the most critical moment instead of being in a dilemma!"
"Whether her choice is risky or not, at least she takes action! As long as there is action in a war, there will be one more variable, and this variable may be able to change the entire war situation..."
Xiao Letian almost pressed his forehead against Xiang Shaolong's. He scolded in a low voice, "You idiot, you should reflect on yourself! Why do you always look at her with colored glasses!"
"When will you defeat this inner demon of yours! Lord Long... the world we live in is not just black and white!"
