The Red Mansion: From a Small Pawn to a Leader

In a blink of an eye, three days passed. On the battlefield that was hundreds of kilometers long, there was a very rare and strange silence, a deathly silence.

Another sleepless night.

The dim morning light shone through the window onto the table. The little man stood up, blew out the candle on the table, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, and looked into the distance with worried eyes.

The tens of thousands of cavalrymen that the coalition forces had pieced together suffered heavy losses, with only a few thousand escaping, and most of them were Italians.

These fleeing soldiers were terrified. They only knew that the Tang army used a new weapon with wheels, and knew nothing else.

The allied cavalry launched the charge at 8:00 in the morning, and the defeated soldiers fled back at 11:30. After deducting the time of escape, it means that the Tang army wiped out tens of thousands of elite cavalry in just over three hours.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it.

However, three days passed and they still hadn't found out any news.

The fear of the unknown is the real terror. No one dares to act rashly before figuring out the unknown.

The Tang army has been keeping its troops inactive for the past few days. The little guy understands that they are waiting for reinforcements.

Therefore, the longer the time drags on, the more favorable the situation will be for the Tang army!
Thinking of this, the little man sighed deeply. They couldn't waste time like this any longer. They had to launch an attack on the Tang army immediately while they still had the advantage in numbers. Otherwise, when the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived, it would be all over!
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. The little man looked in the direction of the sound and saw the French Marshal running towards him like the wind.

Marshal of France: "Oh no! The Holy Roman Empire is going to withdraw its troops! Several kings are trying to persuade them."

The little man's face changed drastically and he strode towards the camp of the Holy Roman Empire.

The French Marshal pursued him.
In the distance, King George of England, King of Prussia and others were surrounding the Holy Roman Emperor and talking about something.

The Holy Roman Emperor kept shaking his head.

The little man walked over quickly and said to the Holy Roman Emperor, "Let's talk." Then he walked straight away.

The Holy Roman Emperor frowned. The reason why he hated the little man was not only because the little man was a nouveau riche from the countryside, but also because his sister, the Queen of France, died at the hands of the revolutionaries supported by the little man during the French Revolution.

He hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

King George of England, King of Prussia and others all looked over there.

The little man said to the Holy Roman Emperor: "As long as you stay, I can divide Italy into two parts. Northern Italy belongs to you, and Southern Italy belongs to France. In addition, I can help you conquer Sweden. How about it?"

"What?" The little man spoke clearly. The Holy Roman Emperor actually heard every word, but he couldn't believe his ears. He stared at the little man with wide eyes.

The little man: "Northern Italy belongs to you, and France is helping you conquer Sweden."

The Holy Roman Emperor was excited: "Really?!"

The little man nodded.

The Holy Roman Emperor's eyes sparkled. He hesitated for only a moment before making up his mind. He said to the little man, "Okay, I promise you."

The little man smiled faintly, turned and walked towards King George of England, King of Prussia and others.

The Holy Roman Emperor followed.

King George of England, King of Prussia and others looked at them curiously.

The little man coughed and said, "For the sake of European democracy and freedom, the respected Emperor decided to stay and continue to fight against the evil Tang Dynasty."

King George of England and the King of Prussia and others looked at each other and realized that some kind of deal had been reached between them.

The little guy: "We can't wait any longer. We must attack the Tang army immediately. Their reinforcements will surely arrive soon."

Everyone nodded.

King George of England: "What tactics have you come up with?"

The smaller man shook his head slightly: "No, no tactics are needed this time."

After he said this, everyone looked at him with surprise and suspicion.

The little guy: "We don't have any advantage in weapons and equipment, but we have an absolute advantage in numbers. Therefore, we must make full use of our advantage in numbers and we can kill the Tang army with just a pile of people."

Everyone was excited.

King George of England's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea!"

The Holy Roman Emperor said coldly: "Don't forget that the Tang army has a new weapon with terrifying power."

After hearing what he said, everyone was as if they were poured with a bucket of cold water, and their mood fell to the bottom. But the little man smiled: "No matter what new weapon it is, it needs ammunition and needs to be cooled down!"

King George of England and the King of Prussia were all shocked, and then a riot broke out.
Inside the imperial tent, Li Hu was holding an official document. He looked at it and started laughing.

The White House in the United States was burned down. Not only the White House, but the entire city of Washington was reduced to ashes in the flames.

In previous history, it was the English who captured Washington, but now it is the vengeful Indians who have taken over.

Under the command of the Tang instructor, the Indians quickly disintegrated the American defense line with overwhelming superiority, annihilated 7,000 American defenders, and American President Adams fled to a remote town in Virginia to seek asylum. The Vice President was beheaded by the Indians, and the Indians returned the favor in American terms, cutting off his scalp and making it into jewelry.

Because of the scalp bounty system, the Indians hated the founding father so much that they launched an attack on Virginia and successfully occupied the villa of the founding father's family.

The angry Indians dug up the tomb of the handsome founding father, split open his coffin, dragged his body out, and in front of his corpse, pierced the jaws of his tribesmen with iron hooks and hung them all up. Just as he had peeled off the skin of the Indians with his own hands, they peeled off the skin of his tribesmen one by one, and finally burned his body to ashes and scattered them away.

Good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded in the end!

Just as he was thinking about it, the voice of the officer on duty came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, Lord Jia is here."

Li Hu put the document in his hand on the imperial desk and said, "Come in."

The curtain was raised, and Jia Lian walked in. He bowed to Li Hu and reported: "Your Majesty, the military rations, weapons, ammunition and Fusang's vassal troops have arrived."

Li Hu smiled and stood up: "Okay. Summon the generals of the second rank and above to the imperial tent to discuss matters!"

Jia Lian answered loudly, "Yes," and turned around and strode out.

Just as Jia Lian left, Wang Yaozu hurried in and reported to Li Hu: "Your Majesty, the Western Barbarians are gathering a large army and are preparing for a decisive battle with us."

Li Hu smiled: "In that case, let's wait for them to come to us. Let them experience the power of the heavy machine gun."

After a pause, he said, "After this war, hundreds of thousands of women in Europe will die alone!"

The artillery fire from the Tang army’s artillery batteries bombarded the third line of defense!
About three miles away from the artillery position, countless Russians shouted and rushed towards the Tang army position.

Looking down from a high place, the dark masses of Rakshasas came like rows of tides, trying to attack the Tang army positions.

Balls of artillery fire fell on the crowd, and immediately countless Rakshasas were blown into the air, causing a rain of blood!
Li Hu put down the telescope and said with a smile: "The foreign devils are going to use the Russians as cannon fodder! Let them know today that times have changed!"

Behind him, Jia Lian, Zhang Cheng, Bai Wu and others all laughed.

Looking at the Russians swarming in like locusts, Li Hu smiled. In the previous life's Battle of the Somme, Germany, on the 40-kilometer front battlefield, fired crazily at 14 British divisions with an average firepower density of one Maxim heavy machine gun per 100 meters, causing 60,000 British soldiers casualties in one day.

The Tang army had a heavy machine gun every fifty steps. The entire defense line was equipped with tens of thousands of heavy machine guns, and two heavy machine guns formed a group. Using heavy machine guns to shoot at the charging enemy from the flanks, the enemy could not escape. If two heavy machine guns fired from the left and right flanks, forming a crossfire, it would be an unbreakable iron wall.

Therefore, the Tang army's defense line was built up by a cross-fire network consisting of countless two heavy machine guns.

The charging Russians were getting closer and closer, but the Tang army did not shoot immediately. They waited until the Russians entered the fatal area, that is, the cross-fire network, before opening fire.

Soon, all the charging Rakshasas rushed into the crossfire network.

The sound of horns rang out over the battlefield!
"Da da da"

Countless heavy machine guns began to spray dense bullets, and the charging Russians were mowed down one after another. The shouts were immediately replaced by screams and wails!

In front of a heavy machine gun, whether to line up or charge in groups is like throwing dumplings into a boiling pot.
Under the crazy fire of heavy machine guns, the Rakshasa servant army, which had been almost exhausted, all lay on the battlefield and became cold corpses.

They also completed the task of consuming the Tang army's ammunition.

Without the Luosha people as cannon fodder, the Western Yi coalition forces began to charge, but with the same result, all of them fell on the road of charge.
The sun was setting, and perhaps the Western barbarians could no longer hold on, or perhaps they discovered that the Tang army's new weapons did not need to stop to cool down, so they began to retreat!

Looking at the Western Yi coalition army retreating like a tide, Li Hu smiled and said to Zhang Cheng: "Let the Fuso Army go."

Zhang Cheng raised his hand.

A messenger holding a red flag waved the flag, and then the sound of drums that shook the earth and sky began to beat.

Roars immediately rang out on both sides of the battlefield. The Fuso Corps, which had already moved to both sides of the Western Yi coalition forces, rushed towards the retreating Western Yi coalition forces like lightning with breech-loading rifles equipped with bayonets!

In the telescope, the Western Yi coalition forces fell into chaos after being suddenly attacked by the Fuso Legion, and the soldiers fled in panic.
Li Hu smiled: "It seems that the Fuso Army frightened the Western Yi coalition that night!"

Everyone laughed.

Li Hu looked into the distance and thought: It will be over soon! (End of this chapter)
