The large forces marched, even if they knew how to survive in the wild, they seemed quite embarrassed by the horror of the Geely Army.

The troops were almost cut off from food. Su Yuanchun came to Feng Zicai and couldn't help feeling a little sigh as he looked at the thinning old man.

"It's my incompetence that killed so many brothers."

Looking at Su Yuanchun who had become a clay figure, Feng Zicai couldn't help but feel a little sigh.

In a great battle a few days ago, a total of two thousand people became bones, and another thousand were lost in the transfer process.

They fell silently, either because of a shortage of food, or because of exhaustion, and they fell while walking.Can't get up anymore.

"Junmen! Don't worry too much, we are the bait, and those foreigners will suffer even more losses!"

"After this mountain, if there is no auspicious nation, we will go out!"

Su Yuanchun comforted. In fact, he had no idea that he could still communicate with the various troops at the beginning, and even encountered a small brigade of troops ambushing here, but when the Geely people bite on like a mad dog, all the information can no longer Received.

"hope so!"

Feng Zicai was very worried, afraid that he would not be able to accomplish the task assigned by Zuo Shuai.

Half an hour later

"who!"

The scouts walking in front quickly lay down and prepared the battle base. Even if they had less than three bullets, they encountered a few clay figures when they were about to walk out of the rain forest, and they couldn't tell who the opponent was..

"Our own people! We belong to one brigade and three regiments. The devil has already withdrawn. The brigade commander is afraid that the auspicious people from the northwest will outflank it and let us stay here."

…………

As Su Yuanchun said, in this hunting battle, the losses of the Geely people were more than even greater. The fifth division, the first brigade and the second brigade, plus the eighteenth division and the first brigade entered 15,000 people, and more than 9,000 people came out alive. people.The establishment of the First Brigade of the Eighteenth Division could almost be cancelled. The Second Brigade of the Fifth Division was basically maimed and left about 3,000, and the First Brigade had 5,000 people.

Forty-five thousand people came in from the Geely Army. In the end, less than 20,000 people went out and persisted for a month. The loss in the rainforest was as high as 20,000. Even if they left early, they did not escape the infectious disease. Torture...

The ensuing war continued, and the comparison of forces was the 40,000+ people of the Qing Dynasty plus the 110,000 people of the Rebels and the Gili Army.

It seems that the Geely Army still occupies this absolute advantage, but after three months of fighting, the expeditionary commander Barclays revealed a message in his report to London that this battle has become a protracted battle.

He wrote: 97 Chinese www.97wz.net

"Dear Prime Minister, you all of the staff."

"I am very happy to tell you that we have reoccupied most of the Miandian area, but the people and the Miandian people are still stubbornly resisting. A quarter of the Miandian territory, the northern mountains are controlled by them, and they are in their hands. Fight us in the mountains and forests."

"The artillery of the empire cannot travel through the rugged mountains, but they have a type of artillery that can easily come and go in the middle terrain, and they will not fight with us in large-scale groups, but they can use the terrain to launch an endless battle against us. Sneak attack,"

"Once we choose to divide our troops, they will quickly assemble and eat one of our regiments or even a brigade. Tactically speaking, the imperial army has never fought in such an environment. There are dense forests and poisonous insects everywhere. Marsh, but people and Miandian people can adapt freely inside, adapt to the environment there, you can say responsibly."

"If Guangguang is a regiment, fighting in such an environment, when our entire army is annihilated, the opponent's loss will not exceed one battalion, or even 500 people."

"So we can only hold the big city..."

After the specific situation of the Miandian battle was brought together to Geely, it caused an uproar.For a while, the cabinet has already quarreled.

"Damn Barclays, he actually praised the monkeys. The empire sent 160,000 troops in front and back. This is a quarter of the empire's army including colonies)"

"Not only did he lose 50,000 people, he even told me that he couldn't get the crown? I think he should be sent to a military court!"

The Geely Prime Minister, the Marquis of Salisbury, roared at the cabinet meeting. He seemed to have seen his old opponent William Gladstone of the Liberal Party thinking about the Prime Minister's throne and beckoning.

"Prime Minister! Now is not the time to complain. We should send troops to their homeland as soon as possible and defeat them completely. This is no longer a problem of the palace. Now many people are watching jokes, and reaching out with others is threatening. Our position, the Geely Empire has been questioned."

Robert Napier, who was entrusted the Imperial Marshal in 1883, stood up and said.

"To completely win the Miandian, we need to increase our troops by two more divisions. This is only to estimate that if people increase their troops by one division, to deal with their homeland, we need to dispatch ten divisions and two fleets."

"Your Excellency Napier is no longer twenty years ago. Please don't look at the problem with your eyes at the time. They have a standing army of 500,000. Although at least two thirds of it is waste, their navy has already entered. Ranked top eight in the world."

The Chief of Staff Sir Donald Stewart said unceremoniously that this old fellow who only knew his name was cold.

"What else can I do? Is it in the Miandian and the people? It is your staff's problem to win the fight."

Napier glared with anger.

"Okay, stop arguing! What do you think, Sir Wittoma?"

Salisbury immediately stopped when they saw that they were about to cross the bar.

After serving as the ambassador to Qing Dynasty for many years, Wetoma was the consultant in this regard.

"With sufficient population and resources, we should not confront them. We should unite the Gauls and neon people to pressure them and give them hope for peace. If they are unwilling to accept it, then we can send troops to their eastern coastal cities. , Those rich places are the cash cows of many of their ministers, let them mess up first!"

Weitoma said lightly...
