C290 Rotating despair and hope (2/2)
”Brothers, we Ryukyu meet again!”
All the rookies ignited their hot blood at that moment. There was only one roar on the battlefield, ”Fight to the death!” Fight to the death, no retreat... ”We shall perish together …”
Luo Huo used his blade to cut off one of the riders' neck, wiped the blood off his face, and turned to the west. ”Fuck, the blood flag is still by Xiao Hexin's side, if only the blood flag were here, I would have died too.”
”Hahaha, forget it, Old Xiao, Old Sima … We'll help you kill a little more before you die. When that happens, your chances of surviving will increase! ”Damn, this old man's life can only give you three points of chance …”
Master, I, Luo Huo, can only accompany you here. With a loud roar, Luo Huo charged towards the enemy once again.
A place of despair might be a place of hope. When all the new army members were mentally prepared to die, from the east side of the battlefield near the border, they suddenly heard chaotic footsteps and noisy German command.
The people fighting to the death simply didn't notice the abnormality at the edge of the battlefield. However, all of a sudden, there was a burst of intense gunfire, a rain of bullets rained down on them, and countless French soldiers were hit by the bullets and fell to the ground.
”Where is the enemy coming from? Do these Chinese people still have reinforcements? Oh god, this was definitely the Prussian, they actually dared to cross the border and fight … This is aggression! ”
The officer who was shouting furiously brandished his saber, but before he could finish releasing the second row of bullets, he was shot in the face, turning him into a sieve on the spot.
”Don't be afraid, there aren't many reinforcements. They just want to control the battlefield to rescue the Chinese. If we can hold on for another ten minutes, our reinforcements will arrive soon!”
”Dismount, dismount, don't be a live target!”
At this critical moment, the experienced French Battalion Commander had managed to stabilize the chaotic situation. This sharp judgement of the situation was not something that could be trained on the training grounds, it was something that could be comprehended from actual combat.
The Prussian Army was currently only 500 meters away. Their intention was very clear, it was to rely on the accuracy and range of the rifles in their hands to suppress the French army, thereby allowing the Chinese to leave the battlefield.
The rifles in the hands of these Prussian army were the famous Maoists in history. It could be said to be a revolutionary weapon. After loading the needle gun with a fixed charge, the accuracy and range of the gun had already reached the peak of the era.
The cool-headed Prussian army was firing from a distance of less than four hundred metres to the east of the battlefield, and every shot had to be aimed at carefully avoiding accidental injuries. Sometimes, they would even just shoot into the sky of the battlefield, using these kinds of shots to maintain the psychological pressure on the French Army.
Sure enough, in the midst of these sparse yet continuous gunshots, the French offensive tempo was disrupted, and the pressure on the new army immediately lessened.
”Retreat, quickly retreat, break away from the contact, don't get entangled …” Xiao Letian was so nervous that his whole body was covered in cold sweat, his binoculars looked at the battlefield and the smoke from the north, the wounds on his chest were extremely painful.
Just as Xiao Letian was feeling extremely anxious, the Prussian army on the high ground suddenly shouted out, ”Cavalry, the French cavalry has arrived! We don't have time! ”
Xiao Letian's hands trembled and the binoculars fell to the ground and shattered. ”So it's here? It's all over? All the hard work and perseverance has still failed … ”
Xiao Letian waved his hand to stop Jonas from persuading him, ”No need to persuade me, I can see the situation on the battlefield better than you. With the addition of the four hundred French army, not only will they be able to defeat Luo Huo and the rest, they will also be able to seal off the mountain pass and lock Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun within the borders of France.”
”All of our troops have been annihilated … Your father's three hundred Expeditionary forces s have been completely annihilated … ” Xiao Letian's mood was extremely depressed, and his tone of voice was incomparably low.
”I can't accept this! I can't accept this!” Xiao Letian suddenly erupted, he took out her revolver and rushed towards the border of the country.
”Those are my brothers. Even if they die, I'll take them with me …” Xiao Letian's charge scared the surrounding Prussian army. This time, they didn't care whether you were the Prime Minister or not, Jonas and the guards all rushed forward.
”Calm down, you have to be calm. You are the prime minister of a country, and what you need to lead is not only these three hundred Expeditionary forces, but also the hope of a nation and its people …”
Paul's kicks were the fastest, pouncing like a tiger onto the ground, following that, Prussian army became like an arhat as he pounced on Xiao Letian, pouncing like a tiger on its prey.
Xiao Letian rested his chin on the ground as he stretched out his right hand forward. The boundary pillar of the border was an inch away from him.
”Wuwuwu …” Let go of me, let me pass, let me be with my brothers... ”Let us die together …”
Perhaps even the heavens and earth could hear his sorrowful cries. At that moment, a violent gale rose up from the plains, and the distant forests and seas of grass swirled like a green ocean.
”Prime Minister... Listen! Listen to the wind... It seemed a little strange, a little different … Look, what's that? ”
