C282 The tragic case of the Besanthus. (2/2)

”Shut up, do I need you to teach me how to fight? I went on an expedition to China six years ago, and I know what a bunch of cowards they are... ”Right now, there are only more than 100 Chinese on the other side of us. Do we really have to retreat after a strong camp?”

”Send my order, light the torches for the artillery, blow these criminals to death …”

Maybe it was because the arrogant Battalion Commander's scolding was too loud, or maybe it was because the torches around the artillery was too bright, Sima Yun could see that he was tall and thin with just one glance.

Shoot him first, capture the thief first and capture the king first. You brat, you shouted the most ferociously, so the one who dies first will be you. Sima Yun's right arm turned round, and the Engineer's spade in his hand flew straight towards the enemy like a tornado.

”Battalion Commander, be careful …” The artillery, who were arguing just now, knocked down the officer with a tiger pounce, and stuck the Engineer's spade directly into his back.

The Battalion Commander who had been boasting just a moment ago was now scared out of his wits. He crawled out on his hands and knees, and the fresh blood spewed from his mouth dyed his army uniform red.

Maybe six years ago, he was a brave warrior who could go on an expedition to East Asia and brutally trample the Qing army with his big sword and lance. But the pleasures of six years in France had softened his bones, and he did not want to risk his life with these Chinese savages again.

”God bless me, I have to leave this place. I still have several sets of porcelain and calligraphy paintings from China that I haven't gotten rid of. I haven't enjoyed enough. I don't want to die here …”

The collapsed Battalion Commander could already see the God of Slaughter on the other side raising his rifle, his ferocious face was as terrifying as a demon from hell. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and ran.

The artillery soldier with the Engineer's spade stabbed into his back glared fiercely at the escaping Battalion Commander. He did not expect that he had saved a useless idiot and had lost his life for nothing.

”Humiliation … ”Shameful …” After which, he tilted his head to the side and died with grievance.

The officer's lead in escaping finally crushed the last bit of the French Army's will to fight. Those cannons guarding the cannons turned around and ran without a word. All the field gun were thrown into the wilderness.

”Turn the muzzle of the cannon …” Fill Ammunition... Bomb Barracks... ”Destroy these soldiers …” The crazy Sima Yun was wrestling with one arm, actually forcefully turning the field gun at a 180 degree angle, the muzzle of the cannons were facing the brightly lit military camp in the distance.

At this time, Sima Yun was so excited that hot tears were already in his eyes, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself, ”This is what you call the number one person in the world of the army? Just this kind of trash can take over Beijing? Damn it, let these ducks who were running away burn Yuan Ming Yuan? ”How did a good China end up like this …”

”All of them, target French military barracks... ”Quickly shoot!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! The six field gun s spat out flames as they flew towards the camp one by one. The explosion spread from the plains all the way to the camp, and the fleeing French army was blown up into the air like dolls.

He thought that he would be able to escape for a long time, but he did not expect Sima Yun to specially use two field gun s to call out to him.

Just as the Battalion Commander was about to return to the camp, a flowering bomb exploded less than a meter behind him. Hundreds of high explosive pieces pierced through his body, and he was smashed into the wall like a broken kite.

”Fight, fight!” I want these Frenchmen to remember for the rest of their lives... ” Sima Yun crazily continued to load the ammunition, while at the same time, Xiao Hexin grabbed his shoulder and shouted.

”Let's go, the lord has sent his signal. The lord has already left the city, we have to catch up to him to protect him. We should spare his life with these ducks!”

Sima Yun turned his head to look. On the east side of Besanthus City, three bright fireworks had exploded in the night sky, which proved that Xiao Letian had already connected up with him and they should be moving towards the direction of the border.

”I can't accept it, I really can't accept it! If you give me another 20 minutes, I will definitely annihilate these French ducks who are making a racket. Damn it, they really got lucky this time …” ”Retreat, let's retreat …”

The battle lasted for 30 minutes. This was the biggest loss of life for Xiao Letian's new army since they became soldiers. After the war, a total of 32 soldiers died, and 12 were heavily injured.

The New Army did not abandon their brothers' habits. A few horse carriages that were snatched from surrounding manors carried the injured New Army and the bodies of the dead and fought their way towards the east. On the south side was the chaotic Besanthus city, the parliament building had long been turned into a sea of fire.

The losses of the new army could be considered not small, but compared to the losses of the French, it was nothing. In a night of conflict, the Secret Police army had suffered more than 20 casualties, six people had died in an explosion in the council, and the four hundred soldiers stationed in the Besanthus camp had finally been counted.

Including the Battalion Commander, a total of seven officers had been killed. This was the tragedy of Besanthus which had shaken the entire France!
