"that’s good!" Harrison pulled Edmund out of the team and stopped at the roadside to shout at the soldiers escorting China.
Edmund was a little scared and shouted, "General, what do you want? China will kill us."
Edmund scolded, "Cowards remember to send this information to the headquarters when they get back."
"How can China people let me go back? General! "
"Can’t you just cut off two of your fingers and go back?" Harrison said.
Edmund suddenly felt very unlucky. He managed to save a life in the battlefield, and then he met a general who was lucky, but he didn’t expect that the general would cut off two fingers and go back to deliver information himself.
But it hurts to cut off two fingers! If I had this determination, I would not have been in this captive team.
Soldiers released from China didn’t know English, and they didn’t know what they were talking about, but soon a China man ran over with several guards and asked in English, "What’s the matter?"
Harrison pointed to Edmund and said, "This private wants to cut off two of his fingers for freedom. Please fulfill this promise and set him free!"
To be Cheng Siliang, he has been ordered by Zhang Yiping to find a way to send this Harrison back when he replied, "Of course, do you both have to cut your fingers? Can I help you? " …,
Harrison said, "No, I’m not. This private’s mother is seriously ill and needs him to go back to see her one last time so that she can sacrifice his finger."
Edmund protested a little, "My mother is not sick, General!"
Harrison kicked Edmund. "Say you have it, don’t be long-winded!"
Cheng Siliang said, "May the empire bless his mother, but it doesn’t matter. After Mr. Bing cuts his finger, you can quit the army and reunite with your mother for a long time without being a soldier."
Edmund nodded again and again. "Yes, I’m retired, but I can go home and reunite with my mother."
Cheng Siliang said, "As usual, I still have to ask you once, Mr. Private. Are you really willing to give you two fingers in exchange for your personal freedom?"
Harrison stared at Edmund sternly, gnashing his teeth, nodded and said, "Yes, I do!" "
Two tall China soldiers came and put Edmund’s hand on the ground. One soldier pulled out a bayonet and Edmund gestured with his palm.
The guarded blade was chilly. Edmund shuddered at the sight of his heart and suddenly cried, "Wait, I suddenly don’t want to now. I’d better keep my finger. Without my finger, my mother won’t recognize me."
Harrison scolded, "asshole, doesn’t your mother look at your face and your fingers?" ’
"It’s a general. My mother looks at her fingers and doesn’t look at people. If I don’t have these two fingers, my mother won’t recognize me. Look at my mother and divide her into generals. You’d better find someone else!"
Good thinking. Tell someone to let Edmund go and let him go back to the queue.
Cheng Siliang then let people catch Harrison and say with a smile, "Since Mr. Bing has gone back on his word, you are the only general left. I have to ask you a general Harrison as a rule. Do you really want your two fingers for your freedom?"
Harrison looked at one or two well-maintained fingers and said, "No, I don’t want to."
Cheng Siliang suddenly grimaced and said sternly, "Do you know that you should be shot according to the latest regulations when you are a wave?"
"What? What is the rule to shoot when the waves are a little! " Harrison opened his eyes wide and looked surprised.
"Gold can’t be bought, especially during the war. Although it was short just now, it was enough to end a battle."
Cheng Siliang said harshly, "Somebody pull aside and shoot!"
Two soldiers came and held out their hands like iron tongs and grabbed Harrison’s arm. Harrison suddenly turned pale and screamed, "No, no, please, no, I want to give my two fingers for my freedom."
Cheng Siliang "hummed" and left. Two soldiers held Harrison down with a knife and cut off the middle finger and forefinger of Harrison’s well-maintained right hand.
Harrison howled and the soldier kicked his ass and said, "Run, old ghost! Don’t get caught by the old. "
Chapter 64 Cavalry! Cavalry!
At five o’clock in the afternoon, the first battalion came to a small village called Bizangxi, which is outside Soisson city, and dug fortifications on a gentle slope near the road.
Although this hillside is not very high, you can see the distant town of Soisson City, which is full of smoke and ruins, but so busy.
Behind Soisson City is the beautiful Aina River. She is like a blue ribbon winding around the earth. Her beauty has not faded at all because of the war. From a distance, it is still so graceful and moving.
The sun is half hung in the west, so big, so red and so round! Its brilliant and beautiful shadow was wrinkled by the breeze, and a large shiny and bright rose-red fine scale was scattered on the surface of the Aina River.
Sheng shopkeeper raised his telescope at the top and looked in the direction of Soisson. He frowned and looked dignified. His pipe accidentally didn’t bite him.
Soisson is indeed a big hornet’s nest ahead, where there are thousands if not hundreds of British and French allied forces, and all of them are armed elites with rich experience in tooth fighting. Their number of cannons is more than that of his battalion of rifles.
Now a battalion of more than 1000 people come here, which is equivalent to a stick poking this hornet’s nest.
Zhang Yiping said that he was sent by his shopkeeper in the sixth battalion to take the lead.
Shopkeeper Sheng thinks that our family is prudent, but that means our family is doing business, not fighting. When hundreds of thousands of British and French troops flock, we are also nervous and afraid.
Shopkeeper Sheng slowly moved the telescope and found a wide weed less than a mile away on the left. Those weeds grew like reeds in China, waving handfuls of white flags and shaking gently in the breeze.
Shopkeeper Sheng looked into the depths of reeds and found the small white flag waving irregularly there.
No, these little flags don’t seem to be blown by the wind, but …
Shopkeeper Sheng, take a closer look and you will see that there are some horses in the dense reeds with their heads falling together, and the rider on horseback is holding down his body. The reeds are faintly visible!
Sheng shopkeeper horror this moment he has completely lost the past calm to tear him if the cock general voice issued a series of panic shouting "cavalry! Cavalry! Enemy cavalry! "
The whistle blew quickly, and the soldiers were digging fortifications. They threw their shovels into a foxhole that was half deep, quickly unloaded their rifles behind them, and looked out of the aiming hole for the direction of the enemy cavalry.
By this time, the cavalry had rushed out of the reeds and stepped on the solid soil, making a thunderous sound.
Horses are constantly coming out of the reeds, and the horses are getting faster and faster after they come out of the reeds.
Horses gallop wildly with thousands of horses, like a roaring torrent, stepping all the fierceness to the bottom of the hoof, and the earth’s horseshoes slap and make a strange roar, generating vibrations and extending them around.
The loess that has just been dug up has been piled up outside the foxhole, and the clods have not been photographed yet. They keep jumping like life and fall into the foxhole less than half a person high.
The buoyancy of the long mane and ponytail air fluttered one after another, and the other condensed into a whole and moved forward quickly.
Horse cavalry face ferocious eyes staring at a battalion position, everything in front of their eyes can stop them from this torrent!
The edge of the reed land is less than 500 meters from the position of the first battalion, and the cavalry will arrive in an instant.
When Hao Sheng was the shopkeeper, he found that these cavalry had made a battalion a little more prepared.
Zeng Dawa, the fourth company commander, carried a rifle and pranced into his front row, which was half height and scattered in the pit.
Although Zeng Dawa, the fourth company commander, was the deputy company commander, but all the soldiers were trained by him, so he was a spiritual pillar.
At the heaviest time, Zeng Dawa rushed to the front line to let even the soldiers see him, and his figure brought confidence to the company.
The shopkeeper looked at his position. Although he had dug half a foxhole, he could barely squat down. The key is that the machine gun in the camp has been set up, the gunner is in place and the ammunition hand is nervously loading the magazine.
It’s a heavy machine gun, plus a light machine gun in each class and the soldiers’ accurate marksmanship. The shopkeeper is relieved to squint at the galloping cavalry
After crossing the highway, the cavalry shouted and smoked horses wildly. The cavalry team swept in like a storm, and the knights waved their sabres and shouted loudly.
Edmund said, "yes, general, I am determined to finish this?"
