After a day of fierce battle, Boshe finally got a breath.

Reinforcements from the Paper Bridge easily broke through the enemy's defense line and joined with their remaining soldiers. At the same time, with the arrival of night, visibility dropped sharply, and the gunshots of the Black Flag Army's attack gradually became sparse. The pursuit of the Western enemy stopped, and the broken 25th Infantry Company could finally retreat. Unfortunately, Colonel Revelong was hit by two bombs and was seriously injured. He may not live until tomorrow's sunrise.

"General, what should we do next?" Major Blusson, who was ordered to arrive, looked at his broken comrades in front of him, and could not believe his eyes. After replenishing ammunition for his ragged comrades in accordance with the command of the commander, Blusson couldn't help asking.

"Northeast! Let's go to Huaide Mansion!"

In Bohua's hands, the 25th Company suffered heavy losses. Even if the military police were added, it was impossible to form a company. The 34th and 36th Company also suffered more than half of the casualties. Even if Bruson's reinforcements were added, the number of troops that could fight was less than 600, and there were so many wounded people to carry. In the darkness, when the Black Flag Army set up an ambush halfway, how many of these soldiers would be left, Bohua was really unimaginable.

It is impossible to stay where it is.

Bohua didn't know how many troops the enemy had, nor did he know when the enemy's reinforcements would arrive, but he knew that the reinforcements in Hanoi would arrive at around 10 am tomorrow morning at the earliest. If the enemy's reinforcements arrived early, then the hope of his current remaining soldiers would be able to survive.

Apart from the Northeast, he could not think of a better way out.

Paper Bridge, this place that makes the people of China and France dream of.

You can't blame Liu Yongfu. The key is that this place is the only way from Hanoi to Shanxi, unless you take a detour.

"With more than 300 defeated soldiers in his hands, he can still support the arrival of reinforcements. Very good, it is also considered a character if the waves slip!"

It was still in that Guandi Temple. At this time, Liu Yongfu, Huang Shouzhong, the Black Flag Army, and many generals of the Yunnan Army gathered together for a meeting.

After the daytime battle, the Black Flag Army was killed in Wangcun and injured more than 300 French troops. The Yellow Flag Army was even more defeated, which made Liu Yongfu, who was on the battlefield, feel a little fluttering.

"But if Bo Hua thought he could escape from the sky like this, then he would have made the wrong plan. His last hope was the reinforcements from Hanoi. This time, we not only had to completely crush his hopes, but also the French troops from Uezuki and Anzhai would eat them together."

With two great victories at the bottom, Liu Yongfu's appetite also grew bigger.

In the evening, when Liu Yongfu learned that the 300 reinforcements of the French army were approaching, he did not send the Yunnan army to support the Wulie Camp as Pang Zhenyun's request, but instead had an idea and set up a bigger trap.

The combat effectiveness of the Yunnan Army is really not satisfactory, which can be seen from the daytime battle. Ding Huai is known as the general of the Yunnan Army. He and Li Yingzhen have two main battalions with one thousand troops and several flowering cannons to support him. In this way, they faced the Huangqi Army, which was rushing together for only 500 times, and they still lost more than 20% of the troops. If the French had not retreated first, the casualties of the Yunnan Army would have increased!

Sending such a force to support Wulie Camp may allow the French army to die with its superior forces, but the damage to Wulie Camp is definitely not small.

Wulie Camp is Liu Yongfu's personal military camp, so he is reluctant to lose such a waste.

Therefore, a new combat plan was quickly formed in Liu Yongfu's mind.

Didn’t the French army have reinforcements? I have them too. I’m not afraid of you when fighting for troops. Since everyone puts their hopes on reinforcements, then just play with the big ones and see who will laugh to the end.

"Wangcun is at least 5 hours away from Hanoi. The wave skating is accompanied by a lot of injuries, so he can only move slower. On such a night, he will not risk returning to Hanoi. At the same time, the wave skating, which has been scared by us, will not be able to leave the troops in place. Then, there is only one way left, which is to converge with the French army in the middle of Huaide Mansion."

The three locations of Zhiqiao, Wangcun and Neicun happen to form a triangle, and the Neicun and Anzhai where Huaide Mansion is located are at the vertex of the largest corner of the triangle. When you get there from Zhiqiao and Wangcun, it is almost two or three hours. Bohua sets off near Wangcun and can arrive before it gets completely dark, meet with the Corona's central column, and then rely on more than a thousand troops to defend and wait for assistance in order to escape.

Liu Yongfu sneered and continued: "It's a pity that he thought too simple!"

"Wu Fengdian's left camp is in Anzhai, and Nei Village is a battalion of Brother Huang. My two personal barracks also followed Bo Slide. With these two thousand troops, it should be no problem to trap Bo Slide and Corona. Our army was ambushed on the paper bridge, first ate the reinforcements from Hanoi, then kill a backlash, gathered Huaide's four battalions, and took Bo Slide in one go!"

Huang Shouzhong, the general of the Black Flag Army, immediately said: "Master Fu is mighty! The French are now just meat on the chopping board, waiting for a knife. It's ridiculous that the Bohua wants to wait for reinforcements to rescue him, but he doesn't know that the general's plan is to even take his reinforcements in one fell swoop."

Huang Shouzhong was originally besieging the troops of the Central Army Corona, but after receiving Liu Yongfu's general order, he left a battalion in his hand to drag Corona and personally brought the remaining 800 soldiers to prepare for a big battle.

Liu Yongfu's plan this time was indeed a big deal. In order to realize his combat intention against Bohua, in addition to transferring Huang Shouzhong's two battalions, he also transferred Lian Meiwuwei Battalion, which was originally stationed in Danfeng. In addition, the two battalions of the Yunnan Army and his own personal soldiers, Wulie Battalion, have gathered three thousand people in the Zhiqiao area, and set up three chain traps inside and outside, waiting for the Hanoi defenders to take the bait.

Ding Huai also agreed with Liu Yongfu's plan very much, "No, it's a good idea to surround and fight for help. This is a brilliant plan passed down by our ancestors. The defenders in the city knew that the main general was surrounded and would definitely come to save him. If there were few people coming, we would eat him here, then turn around and solve the problem of Boswell. If there were many people coming out, we would not do it, and we would take him down again and take down Hanoi."

"According to the news discovered by the previous post, the French had a force of about 4,000. This time, the wave slid out and half of them were brought out at once. Now there are only 2,000 defenders in Hanoi. In terms of force, our army has an advantage."

Liu Yongfu thought for a while and then continued: "However, Bohua is not Li Weiye. He is from the army and has been through a long battle formation. After entering Hanoi, he built a lot of fortifications and fortresses. The French artillery was much stronger than ours. If they wanted to seize the city and defend, even if we could fight, our own losses would not be small, and the gain would not be worth the loss."

The power of the French artillery fire was experienced by Liu Yongfu, Ding Huai and others in person during the day. If it weren't for their small amount of ammunition carrying this attack, the Krupp 75 mountain cannon in the rear could not be suppressed at all. Even so, most of the casualties of more than 400 people in the Black Flag Army were caused by artillery fire. Liu Yongfu would not want to do it again if he hurts the enemy 800 times and loses one thousand.

Although Ding Huai's Yunnan Army was not cared for by the French army's artillery fire today, as a friendly army to assist in defense, the rumbling cannon sound from the Black Flag Army positions in the distance was enough to shock their nerves. In addition, after the war, the Yunnan Army defeated the five Huangqi Army companies and the more powerful Black Flag Army, but suffered more than 400 casualties against the French army. This also made the Ding Huai, the brave general of the Yunnan Army, feared.

"So what Liu Shuai means, let's not fight Hanoi?"

Liu Yongfu said: "Well, in Hanoi, we mainly focus on harassment and cannot attack forcefully. But if the enemy sends troops to rescue Boss, we are not polite. Our advantage lies in the suburbs of the wilderness, on this land, we have the final say!"

Then the topic changed: "In addition, the trapped wave slip cannot make him feel at ease, Xu Chen..."

Huang Shouzhong stood up and clasped his fists: "Fu Shuai..."

"You inform the people who stay in Wyde to harass and harassment waves. Remember, don't have too many people, it's best to divide them into several waves. Our purpose is to harass, not to attack, but to consume their energy and ammunition. You must grasp this level well."

Huang Shouzhong smiled and said, "Fu Shuai, don't worry."

Not to mention Huang Shouzhong's troubles with Bohua, but the messenger sent by Bohua before ran back to Hanoi because he encountered a nail in the middle column, so he ran back to Hanoi to ask for reinforcements. However, this kid probably collapsed because of his spirit being stimulated in the fierce battle. After returning to Hanoi, he shouted everywhere, "The French army has been defeated on the entire line," which caused great panic in the city, so that the officers guarding the city had to arrest him.

Although the news of "the entire line of defeat" was untrue, the news of the main general being besieged was changed as if it were false. The defenders in the city could not sit idly by and ignore it. However, it was too late at this time, and the troops in the city knew nothing about the situation outside and did not dare to go out of the city to rescue him rashly.

At four o'clock in the morning on the 16th, just as the sky was dawn, the defenders of Hanoi were dispatched urgently.

The French army in the city had just begun to assemble, and the Black Flag Army had already detected the situation of sending troops in the city's secret sentry. Then, a bamboo tube was thrown from a corner of the city to the city, and then delivered it to Liu Yongfu in the shortest time.

"Eight hundred people..." Liu Yongfu smiled coldly and ordered: "Please come to my place to discuss matters!"

"Yeah!" The guards and soldiers around him immediately went out to pass the order. Soon, Huang Shouzhong, Lian Mei, Ding Huai, Li Yingzhen, Pang Zhenyun and others came one after another.

Liu Yongfu saw that the people had arrived and raised the bamboo tube in his hand. "The French army dispatched 800 soldiers to Huaide to rescue. This is their only way to go. It is time to annihilate the enemy and make meritorious contributions. Now I order..."

Teng... Several generals immediately stood up to receive the order.

"Huang Shouzhong, Lian Mei..."

"The last one will be here!"

"To fight against the main force of aid, Huang Shouzhong's troops were deployed on the front, and the flanks were supported by the United States troops. In addition, the artillery supported by the Yunnan Army was also transferred to Huang Shouzhong's troops. Your mission is to prevent the enemy reinforcements and the Boskaya troops from getting along, and kill and injure the enemy as much as possible!"

"Get orders!"

After arranging the tasks of two large armies, Liu Yongfu turned to Ding Huai again. Li Yingzhen said: "Ding Guerrillas and Li Guards, the two can lead their troops to the south of Hanoi City. If the enemy no longer continues to increase their troops after the start of the enemy, you will take advantage of the situation to attack Hanoi. As long as the enemy continues to increase their troops, you will take advantage of the situation to attack Hanoi. The same thing is said, if Hanoi can take it, take it. If the enemy's firepower is fierce, then keep it harassing."

After all, the Yunnan Army was a guest army. Liu Yongfu was much more polite to Ding Huai and Li Yingzhen, and the tasks assigned were naturally the lightest.

Although Ding Huai wanted to meet the French army, he could not refuse Liu Yongfu's kindness. The most important thing is that the strength shown by the Black Flag Army in yesterday's battle was indeed more than that of the Yunnan Army. Instead of showing off his ugly appearance, it is better to go with the flow.

The three armies were arranged, and finally Pang Zhenyun's troops were left as a reserve force, ready to support all places at any time. After everything was done, we were waiting for the French army to fall into the trap again.

At 5:30 in the morning, the French vanguard passed the Bani Temple in front of the paper bridge. This was originally a land temple, because Lieutenant Barney, the deputy of Captain An Ye, was cut off from his head by the Black Flag Army. The French have since named Barney.

Twist...

A personal soldier quickly ran to Huang Shouzhong's side, "Sir, the French have arranged the vanguard this time."

"Oh?" Huang Shouzhong frowned, "It seems that he has learned from his mistakes. The French have learned their lessons this time."

"Father, what should we do now?" Huang Chengyong is Huang Shouzhong's eldest son. He is nineteen years old this year and is already at the age of serving in the Black Flag Army. At this time, he was working as a personal captain next to Huang Shouzhong. When he heard that the French army seemed to be prepared, he asked quickly.

"What should I do..." Huang Shouzhong looked at his son and then said, "We are not ambushing this battle. If the enemy is not prepared, they will be caught off guard. If the enemy is prepared, they will have to fight head-on, otherwise our front camp will be completely lost!"

Huang Shouzhong had already missed the opportunity to win the second Paper Bridge. Later, in the battle to pursue the French army in Hanoi, he suffered a loss in front of the French gunboat on the Red River, and was holding his breath.

"Yes! The boy understands! The boy is going to prepare now!"

"Wait..." Huang Shouzhong grabbed his son who was about to leave.

"What are my father's instructions?"

Huang Shouzhong looked at his son, but he didn't say anything after all, just said, "Be careful..."
