The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 604

Zheng Sen was restless in his room in the Second Army of the First Army of the British Foreign Legion, looking anxious.

Since the British commander David led 2 troops to attack Wenzhou City three days ago, except for the news that the forward troops had already occupied Wenzhou City on the first day and the main force was about to move out, nothing has happened What news came back.

Although Zheng Sen continued to comfort himself, telling himself that the British army had 2 men, David was an experienced commander, and the army was short of troops, it was absolutely impossible for this operation to fail.

He needed this operation to wash away his shame, but it was a pity that David rejected his request to join the army, saying that he was to stay and stabilize his father.

But two days passed, and there was no news from the front line. This made Zheng Sen, who was originally full of confidence, feel less and less confident. He had already begun to feel that something was wrong.

But he was powerless. This matter was originally an agreement he reached with the British behind his father's back.If he went to confess to his father now, he would definitely be severely punished by his father.

But letting him sit here and wait is indeed a torment.

"Steven, has there been any news from General David?" Zheng Sen couldn't sit still, walked out of the room, saw a familiar soldier, and asked eagerly.

This British soldier Steven is an orderly of Smith, Commander of the Second Army of the First Army of the British Foreign Legion, and he is also an acquaintance with Zheng Sen.

I have to say that Zheng Sen is very talented in languages. After hanging out with these British people for more than half a year, his English level has improved by leaps and bounds, and there is no problem at all in general daily conversations.

"Zheng, you don't look very good. Why are you so worried? Our army of the British Empire has never met an opponent. Let me tell you, we once defeated it with [-] soldiers on a black road We killed [-] enemy infantry, and those native soldiers quickly lost all their courage in the face of our bullets. Finally, their kings were sent to the guillotine by us.

So, you don't have to worry at all.General David will surely bring us good news. "

Orderly Steven looked confident, with optimism and confidence in his smile.

Zheng Sen sighed, forced a smile and said, "You're right, I should have full confidence in General David."

After bidding farewell to Steven, Zheng Sen was about to go to the training ground to practice shooting when suddenly a British soldier ran over and shouted, "Zheng, your father sent someone to look for you."

Zheng Sen followed the soldier to the gate of the barracks, and saw his housekeeper, Zheng Fu, waiting outside the gate.

Seeing Zheng Sen, Zheng Fu hurried forward, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Zheng Sen and said in a low voice, "Young master, this is what the master asked me to hand over to you, saying it is a very important matter. , so you must not delay."

Zheng Sen was very puzzled when he heard the words, and immediately opened the letter to read it. After reading it, his face suddenly changed:

Because the letter said: "Sen'er, David's [-] British troops have been wiped out. David was also captured by the government army, and the government army has already captured Jianning City. Your grandma and your third uncle have fallen into it." In the hands of the officers and soldiers. I want to send troops to fight back and rescue your grandma and third uncle.

It's just that I have now found out that Pi San has secretly defected to the imperial court, and plans to use the remaining 2 British troops as votes.He will go to General Smith soon, under the pretext that he was ordered by me to contact General Smith and send troops to attack the official army together.

In fact, he had already contacted the official army and planned to ambush the British army halfway.Once the British army fails, there will be no strength in front of our Zheng family to rely on.In order to confuse General Smith, Pi San will definitely cover up David's defeat at the front.You must inform General Smith of this matter as soon as possible, and declare the attitude of our Zheng family to General Smith, and ask him not to misunderstand us.Cut it! "

Seeing his grandma and third uncle being captured by the army and the fall of Jianning City, Zheng Sen's eyes darkened and he almost fell to the ground.

He doesn't care about his third uncle who eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles, but when he thinks that his grandmother who loves him the most has also fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers, Zheng Sen's heart feels like a knife, and his anxiety burns.

Now he can't wait to run to find his father, and then lead an army to rescue grandma.But the lesson from the failure last time made him understand how powerful and terrifying the army is, and the frustration in his heart rose again.

And the thing that worried him the most happened. The 2 British army was wiped out, and the commander David was captured. This is simply unbelievable.

But he had to believe his father's words, and the lack of any news from the front line for two days also confirmed this point.

And a very simple logic is that if the British army did not fail, then the official army would not be able to take down Jianning City.

Thinking of this, Zheng Sen was filled with loss and grief.

He thought that the powerful foreign aid British had failed like this?Moreover, it also drew revenge from the officers and soldiers, and even his grandma fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that all his hard training in the past few months had been wasted.

Pi San!You traitor who eats inside and outside!
When my Zheng family was in such a catastrophe, you actually wanted to strike back.Since you are not benevolent, don't blame my Zheng family for being unrighteous.

The grief, indignation and frustration in Zheng Sen's heart turned into hatred for Pi San at this time, his eyes flickered coldly, after he packed the letter, he strode towards the barracks of the Second Army Commander Smith.

Smith is also British, and he has been serving in the Royal Army before.But then it was just a colonel.But after being transferred to the Foreign Legion, he was promoted to a general, and he would have more opportunities to do meritorious service. This was the main reason why he came here.

Smith has the traditional rigidity of the British, and there is always a suspicious light in his small eyes.

Indeed, he was a suspicious man.

However, in the past two days, Smith obviously seemed a little preoccupied.

He is also worried about the situation on the front line.

For David's first failure, Smith later made a very detailed understanding, including the fighting courage, tactics, weapons and equipment, command level and so on of both sides.

Although David hid it well, Smith still learned about it.

From this information, he felt that the opponent they were facing was a very powerful opponent, no matter in terms of equipment level, soldier courage or command.

This made Smith worried about the fact that he came overseas to earn wealth and make contributions, but he did not come here to die.

There was no information for two full days on David's expedition this time, which made the already suspicious Smith even more worried.

He realized that something might have happened, but didn't dare to think about it.

At this moment, the orderly Steven came to report: "General, Zheng Sen is outside the door, saying that he has something urgent to see you."

"Ask him to come in." Smith nodded.

He still has a good impression of Zheng Sen, a diligent and intelligent young man.

As soon as Zheng Sen came in, he closed the door and said anxiously: "General Smith, something is wrong."

Then he said what was in his father's heart, and made some appropriate renderings.

"General Smith, please take precautions as soon as possible, so as not to change sooner or later." Zheng Sen finally said eagerly.

After hearing this, Smith was really shocked. He didn't expect that David's 2 people really failed completely, and even he himself was captured.

"This is absolutely crazy, poor David. Thank you for the news. Don't worry, I won't let those sinister snakes bite me."

Smith said with gloomy eyes.

He wasn't worried about a little Pi San, after all, he still had 2 horses in his hand.

As long as Zheng Zhilong doesn't stop him, a little Pi San is nothing.

The orderly Steven came in again at this time and said: "Report to the general, there is a man named Pi San outside the gate of the camp. He said he is the leader of General Zheng's subordinates, and he came to look for you on the order of Zheng's army."

Hearing that Pi San really came, Smith sneered, nodded and said, "Let him in."

After the orderly left, Smith pointed to the small room behind him and said to Zheng Sen, "Go in first, and I will show you my determination."

Zheng Sen nodded, walked into the small room behind, and closed the door.
