1825 My New Daming

Chapter 88: The Strong Man From Heaven, King Pingxi! (For collection, for follow-up)

The 50-year-old Major General Elston Finn is a military expert who grew up in the Napoleonic Wars!
After Emperor Napoleon was defeated, he was sent to India by his old boss, the Duke of Wellington, because of his outstanding military exploits.I stayed in India for more than ten years, during which time I beat up many maharajas who dared to resist the British Empire. It is called invincible in one battle, and the military exploits are outstanding!

It is also because of his great reputation that his boss, George Cotton, left him in Peshawar and asked him to lead two regiments of British and Indian infantry to take good care of this logistics center of the army - Peshawar is located in Gandhara Within the basin, the surrounding area is densely populated and the agriculture is developed. It is relatively easy to raise a little military food.And it is also the throat of trade leading to Central Asia, facing the famous Khyber Pass.

It can be said that as long as Peshawar is guarded, even if the British and Indian troops are defeated in Afghanistan, British India will be safe and sound.

However, in the opinion of Major General Elstonfin, who is based in Peshawar, holding Peshawar is probably the easiest and most boring task in military history.It is almost [-] miles away from Kunduz, and there are natural dangers such as the Salang Pass and the Khyber Pass. It is impossible for those backward feudal troops of the Kingdom of Jin who are still in the middle ages to cross the Salang Pass. , Khyber Pass to Peshawar. Unless they can fly!

Of course, although Peshawar is far enough away from the front line, Major General Elston Finn still thinks that it should be deployed here. Because Peshawar is a city of Tianfang believers after all, and the East India Company has never ruled Peshawar before this.

Moreover, the residents of Peshawar and the people on the Afghan plateau are of the same nation. They have always been martial and aggressive, and they have always been a nightmare for Indians!
In addition, not far to the east of Peshawar is the territory of the Sikh Empire.The Ranjit Singh who created the empire single-handedly is not a fuel-efficient lamp!Although he stood on the side of the British Empire this time, he sent [-] Sikh troops to participate in the Afghan expedition.But who knows if this sovereign who ruled a large area of ​​northwestern India would do something crazy under the instigation of a big country in the north?

Therefore, Major General Elstonfin not only deployed defenses in Peshawar City and the Khyber Pass, but also deployed defenses in the east and south of the Gandhara Basin. Telegraph wires and telephone wires can be said to be foolproof.

After the military deployment is completed, Major General Elsfinton and his white officers will of course have to enjoy life. So when dusk came, Al, who spent most of the day listlessly in his office, Major General Sfinton's spirit has risen!
Because tonight, Abbas Khan, the governor of Peshawar (sent by the Emir of Afghanistan) from Kabul, will arrange a banquet full of Persian style for the officers of the headquarters, including Elsfintone. From time to time, there will be dancers from Persia performing belly dances, and there will also be slave girls from Central Asia serving, which is really exciting!
Thinking of the wonderful nightlife, the Major General Commander is looking forward to the sun setting soon.A little impatient, he stood up from behind the desk, walked to the window, pushed open the carved wooden window, and looked out.

The headquarters of Major General Elsfinton is located in the Peshawar Fortress in the city of Peshawar. This is a fort made of white stone left over from the Mughal Dynasty. It is not only strong, but also very beautiful.Looking out of the window of the major general's office, you can see not only the spacious courtyard inside the fort, but also the towering stone watchtower and the outer wall of the fort.

The setting sun casts a dazzling golden light on white stone walls, stone buildings and an oval white UFO
UFO?
what is that?
Elsfinton suddenly realized that something was wrong. How could there be a UFO floating tens of feet above the stone wall of the castle?Is that an airship?Whose airship is it?
As soon as he thought of this, a scene that made him unbelievable, two ropes suddenly hung down from under the white airship, all the way to the top of the city wall, and then he saw two people wearing yellow jackets and dog fur hats, holding a big knife in one hand, The burly man with one hand on the rope slipped down from the cabin of the airship!
This scene is really a bit magical. Two "yellow jackets" wielding large blades made a cable drop from an airship. Is this advanced or backward?
While Elsfinton was thinking about this weird question, crackling gunshots rang out!
It wasn't the British and Indian sentries guarding the walls of the fort that were firing, but the airship soldiers on the airship were sniping and killing the British, Indian and Afghan soldiers with their rifles.Although the hit was not very accurate, it still stunned the "Third Brothers" below. They forgot to fight back for a while, and only knew to run around.

The sound of machine gun shooting and bomb explosion also sounded immediately, and it was the airship in the air that fired and dropped bombs.

There is more than one airship appearing over the Peshawar Fort at this moment!Instead, seven or eight ships came up at the same time, but only one was rappelling. The other airships dropped bombs and fired machine guns at a higher position to suppress the firepower of the fortress defenders.

In addition, over the several streets around the fortress, there are also several airships performing cable drop missions, and the Daikin Navy paratroopers who landed there will be responsible for blocking the reinforcements and temporarily blocking the British reinforcements.

Dajin Admiralty Minister, Pingxi Wang Wu Faxan had jumped onto the wall of Peshawar Castle screaming, and then waved a big knife in his hand and rushed towards a stunned Indian soldier.

"Wow, a certain family is a fax from Pingxi Wang Wu, who dares to fight to the death with a certain family!"

This Wu Chuanzhen is really powerful. While shouting for a decisive battle, he secretly took out the "shell gun", and then shot with a "snap" with his hand, blasting the third soldier who hadn't reacted yet. head!
Seeing that this airborne soldier in ancient costume and holding a big knife seemed very powerful, the other two "third brothers" who were stunned by the surprise attack finally came to their senses, picked up the rifle with the bayonet in their hands, pulled the bolt tremblingly, and rushed up.Two against one, isn't that scary?
"Wow, look at the knife! Crack!"

Wu Chuanchuan swung his big blade, followed by two more shots, and sent the two "third brothers" to the west.It has to be said that his Wu family saber technique is still very powerful. In the blink of an eye, he has already knocked down three "third brothers", and they all control the enemy with one move, and the opponent has no chance to fight back.

As the so-called martial arts in the world, only speed can not break, no matter how fast martial arts are, it is not as fast as a gun!

Wu Chuanhua was not the only one who displayed his prowess on the walls of Peshawar Castle, and all the heavenly soldiers in golden jackets who descended with King Pingxi were all masters. They should be called "Ba Yala" according to the soon-to-be-lost Manchu ", also known as Baijiabing.They are all the best Manchurian warriors. They were the ones who kept Nurhachi, Huang Taiji, and Dorgon to kill the Quartet.Later, King Zhuge Wuzhong "cut a crop of leeks", and the "growth" ones kept Kangxi on his way to the Wuji Valley in the Western Regions, and then evolved in the Wuji Valley. Now everyone is a sharpshooter!

And in Wu Chuanzhen's generation, he is even more powerful. He has dual cultivation of knives and guns (barrel guns), and he still has grenades in his waist. He is really unstoppable!

Wu Chuanzhen is not the only one who is unstoppable. Who among the "yellow jackets" who descended from the parachute is not unstoppable?I only saw them like magic soldiers descending from the sky, with a big knife in one hand and a pistol in the other hand. I saw the "third brother" appearing, shooting with guns from a distance, chopping with knives at a distance, and there were airship soldiers in the sky firing with rifles.The gang of "Third Brothers" were beaten up and down, screaming again and again.

And where have those "third brothers" seen such a fierce opponent?In the panic, he forgot to aim, and couldn't even pull the bolt of the gun.And the new bass rear-loading guns in their hands can't fire continuously, they have to fire once and pull the bolt. At close range, they are not opponents of 24-ring pistols - they only fire one round here, and others have already fired continuously Counting guns, where is this opponent?
What's worse is that most of the British and Indian soldiers guarding the fort are waiting for dinner in two canteens (one is a Hindu canteen and the other is a Tianfang canteen), while the white officers are preparing to attend the dinner.Only a few British and Indian soldiers standing guard could go into battle, but they were not many in number, and they were attacked by surprise, and they were stunned all of a sudden.
