    Chen Zaixing squatted down, looked at the graphics on the ground for a while, stood up and asked, "Major Duncan, can you make a scene?" "Of course!" Duncan replied, "He pointed to the reeds next to the swamp:  ¡°Just use the reeds there and you can make it in two minutes!  "    "very good!  "Chen Zaixing looked at the battle on the high ground. The Shun Army's second attack had reached a stalemate. He turned back and asked Duncan: "Major Duncan, if I give you a hundred men, are you willing to lead them to carry out the attack you just made?  What is the recommended copy implementation?  " Duncan turned around and glanced at Gillings. When he saw the other person nodded slightly, he nodded and replied: "This is my honor!  " On the high ground, the battle has entered a fierce state. The Shun army soldiers have occupied one third of the stone wall. Soldiers from both sides are fighting to the death with bayonets, gun butts, stones, fists and even teeth in front and behind the stone wall.  . Yu Zhiheng was surrounded by enemies several times his own. If it were not for the sacrifice of other rebel soldiers and good luck, he would have turned into a corpse full of holes by 3:30 that afternoon.  On the left and right, the rebels on the top of the small garden finally repelled the third attack of the Shun army. However, only about 250 of the defenders on the mountain could continue to fight. This number of people was simply not enough to continue to defend.  The four-hundred-meter-long stone wall. Yu Zhiheng had to consider whether he should abandon this position. "Retreat, never!"  "When Yu Zhiheng tentatively put forward his suggestion, fierce opposition immediately broke out in the crowd. These people who were already red-eyed waved their weapons angrily. Old Walnut took a step forward and pointed at the side where  The flag, which had been beaten to the point of being no different from rags, shouted loudly: "Are you going to hand over this flag and Tian Chao's body to Shun Gouzi?  no way!  " "We can take the body away!  "Yu Zhiheng tried his best to persuade the other party: "We have too few people. Next time, at most the next time, the enemy will rush to the high ground and stab us all to death with bayonets. At that time, we still can't save the flag and the bodies!  " "No, the enemy can't rush up!  "A somewhat stiff Chinese voice interrupted everyone's argument. Yu Zhiheng turned around in surprise, just in time to see the smiling face of Mikhail. This Russian aristocratic officer who usually had a straight face was now  He smiled very cordially. "Yu, I brought reinforcements, four hundred people, and a Napoleon cannon. Major Sharif has clearly determined the enemy's main attack direction. You and your soldiers have done a good job. You are a true soldier."  warrior!  " "This is what I should do, Captain!  "Yu Zhiheng licked his chapped lips and replied timidly: "But please forgive me. I asked to retreat just now, not because I was timid, but -" "No, you don't need to apologize!  "Mikhail interrupted Yu Zhiheng's apology: "Anyone in your position can only do this. Fighting is not about letting soldiers die. Even the great Kutuzov did it in Borodino.  Choose to retreat.  "Yu Zhiheng frowned. Obviously he couldn't understand the mixed Chinese and Russian words behind Mikhail, but he still felt the other party's kindness. "So, what should my people and I do now?  ?  "    "rest!  Just leave it to us, your people can serve as a reserve team!  "Mikhail replied with a smile. Under the high ground, bursts of gunfire came from the northwest. It was a diversionary attack by other parts of the army. It was already 3:40 that afternoon.  At five minutes, the remnants of the third wave of repulsed Shun army had just retreated from the hillside. These soldiers were sitting or lying on the grass in groups of three or five. Almost all of them had their heads lowered, tired and tired.  The pain almost overwhelmed these strong men. ¡°Shame, shame!  "Li Bin's face was ashen. This proud officer was almost driven crazy by the defeat just now: "I would rather be killed on the spot by the traitor's bullet than watch the commander's standard camp in front of a group of escaped slaves.  Turn around and run away!  Now, everyone, stand up!" The soldiers who heard Li Bin's order stood up blankly, and saw their commander standing at the front of their first row, pulling out his command knife: "Now, I will lead it myself.  As you launch another attack, you will either die on the hillside or occupy the high ground!  "The morale of the soldiers was re-energized by the heroic behavior of their commanders. They quickly reorganized into a queue. Strength and courage seemed to have returned to their bodies all of a sudden, and everyone's backs were straight.  , two eyes sparkling ¡°Now!  Everyone listen to my command!  "Li Bin turned around, took off his hat at the same time, picked it up with the tip of the command knife, turned around and shouted: "This is our flag now, go forward, boys, let them taste the power of the bayonet.""Mr. Li, please wait a moment!"  "A voice interrupted Li Bin's actions. He turned around and saw Chen Zaixing walking quickly towards him. His face changed slightly, but he still stiffly bowed slightly to Chen Zaixing and said calmly.  He said in a voice: "Master Chen, please tell me quickly if you have anything to do. The military situation is urgent!  " "Master Li, I just want to give you a suggestion.  I think this can save a lot of blood of soldiers!  Chen Zaixing replied in a low voice: "Our artillery has a huge advantage, but during our previous artillery bombardment, the cunning enemy hid behind the ridgeline, and even shrapnel damage to it was very limited."  What I mean is that when you attack about a hundred meters, you order all the soldiers to crawl for a minute or a minute and a half, and at the same time order the artillery to fire a rapid fire, and then take the opportunity to launch an attack. What do you think of this?  " Hearing this, Li Bin's face gradually softened. He had also heard that Mr. Chen had made great contributions in Myanmar, but he thought it was just a matter of strategic planning like ordinary civil servants. After all, with the popularity of hot weapons,  Using it, war has become more and more a professional job, but he did not expect that Chen Zaixing was an expert. From his perspective, this idea was quite good, because when Shunjun rushed to a distance of about 100 meters.  At that time, the rebels could not continue to hide behind the ridgeline to avoid artillery fire. They had to resist behind the stone wall, which became a living target for the artillery. Moreover, judging from the rebels' shooting skills, the most casualties among the rebels were within fifty meters.  At a distance, this bombardment can reduce the casualties of many soldiers. "That's too much for you, sir!"  "Li Bin cupped his hands and was about to turn around and give the order to attack when he heard Chen Zaixing's voice coming from behind: "One more thing. I have just sent people to lead a small group of soldiers from the swamp to the back of the high ground.  It's almost time, and Mr. Li will be prepared later to avoid accidentally injuring one of his own!  "    "What?  Li Bin was stunned when he heard this. He turned around and saw that Chen Zaixing had already walked towards the artillery. He gritted his teeth, walked quickly to the infantry who had already lined up, and loudly ordered: "Everyone, listen up."  Okay, you all have to watch me carefully later. If I throw this hat to the ground and yell to lie down, then you will lie down too, and then wait for about a minute, and I will stand up and charge towards the stone wall.  You must also charge with me, do you understand?  " "Yes, sir, don't worry, we will follow you!  "    "very good!  Now, attack!  The soldiers of the Shun Army crossed the grass and broken areas and rushed towards the stone wall on the high ground.  The rebel artillery on the high ground began to fire at the cis troops. Due to the lack of well-trained gunners, Mikhail had to serve as the gunner himself, and he only had solid shells instead of shrapnel shells, which were more threatening to the infantry.  However, the high-speed flying iron ball still penetrated into the dense formation of the Shun army, tearing apart everything it encountered.  However, the Shunjun soldiers still moved forward firmly.  Then came the thunderous gunshots of Berdan's 1871 model rifle. The soldiers of the army staggered and trembled as if they were walking into a storm, and some people kept falling.  But Li Bin didn't seem to see the countless black holes in the stone wall. He waved the saber holding his hat and shouted: "Be brave, boys! Be brave!" The soldiers of the Shun Army shouted in unison.  With the cries of the soldiers, they advanced towards their goal, the stone wall on the high ground, which showed their determination to seize the goal to the death, but they paid a terrible price for their courage.  Li Bin looked at the stone wall not far away. It was probably only about fifty meters away. The gunfire from the rebels was becoming more and more intensive. Through the thick white smoke, he could still see a burst of  There was a flash of fire¡ªthat was from rifle fire.  He turned around suddenly, threw his hat to the ground, shouted at the same time to lie down, and fell to the ground. The soldiers behind him also quickly imitated his commander's team and fell to the ground.  "Huh? What are these damn Chinese doing?" Mikhail saw the enemy's strange movements in confusion. Before he could react, a harsh scream suddenly came from the air. He instinctively  He fell to the ground, this action protecting his life.  Boom, boom!  A burst of artillery shells exploded over the high ground. These were almost all shrapnel shells. The iron bullets and shrapnel produced during the explosion swept across the high ground, knocking down the soldiers who were shooting at the enemy behind the stone wall.  For these rebel soldiers who had only picked up rifles for more than a month, this test was too harsh. Many soldiers immediately dropped their rifles, turned around and fled behind the ridge.  "Bastard, coward, come back!" Mikhail got up from the ground angrily, raised his pistol and fired two shots into the air, but the two shots were too weak on the high ground, and the soldiers continued to shoot towards  Fleeing behind the ridgeline, Mikhail was about to order his men to kill several deserters when an 8-inch shrapnel exploded in the air less than eight meters away from him. The air wave generated by the explosion would??Hail blew to the ground.  The young Tsarist Russian aristocratic officer pushed hard on the ground with his hands and tried to stand up again, but he failed.  For the first time, Mikhail felt that his strong arms were so weak that he could not even support his own weight. Then he fell to the ground weakly, and the soldiers' shouts of killing could be heard in his ears. Mikhail  I felt that my head was getting heavier and heavier, and I fainted as soon as my vision went dark.
