mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 1108: The True God of War

On June 6, Yuan Weiting saw Zhao Chuanxin scolding him in the newspaper.

Indescribable anger rushed straight to the top of his head.

Zhao Chuanxin's remarks have seriously shaken his ruling prestige.

Yuan Weiting said to Zhao Bingjun: "I swear to kill Zhao Chuanxin!"

Zhao Bingjun was so scared when he heard this that he said, "President, don't speak nonsense. If outsiders hear it, you might get killed."

After saying this, he looked around guiltily, opened the door and looked outside, only to feel relieved when he saw that no one was eavesdropping.

Seeing him like this, Yuan Weiting became even angrier.

He felt very depressed.

He took a deep breath in his heart, but felt that he would not be able to calm down unless he did something.

……

It was also this morning.

Zhao Chuanxin took 50,000 marks from Kliment Boyaziev.

The 50,000 marks were raised privately by Kliment Boyaziev and Georgy Todorov from somewhere unknown.

This was not reported to the Second Army's commander-in-chief, Nikolai Ivanov.

Use people's money to eliminate disasters.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the southern battlefield, the 123rd Line of Defense behind the Galikos River.

On the entire southern front, the Bulgarian side had 8 troops and 200 field artillery pieces.

The opponent was the 11 Greek troops under the command of King Constantine of Greece.

It was impossible for Nikolai Ivanov to hand over 8 people to Zhao Chuanxin for command.

Of course, he had no idea that Zhao Chuanxin appeared on his battlefield at this time.

At this time, the 2nd Division of the Greek Army on the opposite side was exchanging artillery fire with the Bulgarian Army behind the river bank.

Kliment Boyadjiev was afraid that Zhao Chuanxin didn't understand the situation, so he said to him: "The Greek 2nd Division fought with us all night last night. I guess they will launch an attack today."

Zhao Chuanxin has a lot of things about war in his mind.

He displayed his personal bravery many times, and the battles he led were all small battles and those in which the wind was favorable.

This was the first time that the two armies had seriously confronted each other, especially since the two warring parties had no relationship with him at all, so he could completely disregard the lives of others.

This made his brain cells particularly active.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled his eyes, tapped the table with his fingers, and asked, "Tell me, how are you stronger than the Greek army?"

Kliment Boyadyev puffed out his chest with pride: "Our artillery is more accurate, and we have defense and trenches. The Greek army must pay a huge price for attacking."

After saying this, he frowned and said, "However, the Greek army has the advantage in numbers, and because they suffered from a lack of scouts in the last war, they deployed a cavalry brigade this time. At a critical moment, their cavalry will cause us a lot of trouble..."

Zhao Chuanxin remembered something.

When he was in high school, the college entrance examination was approaching, but he was not very good at math.

His parents found a famous local tutor for him to sharpen his skills.

The teacher only taught him one lesson, during which he just asked him to do exercises, completely ignoring the difficult and complicated questions on the test paper and only doing the questions that he was 100% sure of.

Originally he failed math every time he took an exam, but after that tutoring session, he barely passed the math exam in the college entrance examination.

The key is that he did not waste time and skimmed over all the things he didn't know. It takes courage to do this in the college entrance examination.

But Zhao Chuanxin is full of courage.

Now he was full of courage.

He waved his hand and said, "Since you gave me money, you have to trust me, otherwise the money will be wasted, don't you think?"

Kliment Boyaziev struggled.

This is supposed to be the case.

But war is no joke after all.

What if Zhao Chuanxin messes up?
Before the battle, he couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

It is impossible for Zhao Chuanxin to give his all as if he were fighting for himself.

He said enthusiastically: "In this case, I ask the infantry to conserve their energy in the trenches and ignore whatever happens. The artillery will bombard them to death first."

"You don't even care about retreat?" Kliment Boyadyev hesitated. "Trenches are not a panacea."

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said, "Either you listen to me, or I won't refund the money either. It's up to you."

Kliment Boyadyev gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

While he was making arrangements, Zhao Chuanxin was also busy.

The two sides were fighting each other, but Zhao Chuanxin did not enter the trench, but strolled outside.

Many Bulgarian soldiers watching from the trenches thought the man was a fool.

After Zhao Chuanxin found a good location, he poured sand out from the "Code of Old Gods" to form a tower.

Machine gun bunkers with bases rose from the ground.

A shell exploded more than 30 meters away from him. Before the shell landed, Zhao Chuanxin happened to come to the other side of the bunker, leaned against the bunker and lit a cigarette without changing his expression.

This left the guards in the trench dumbfounded.

I have never seen such an arrogant person in my life.

When Kliment Boyagev was deployed at the command post, he also asked his men to go out constantly to spy on Zhao Chuanxin's movements.

When Kliment Boyadyev learned what he had done, veins in his forehead throbbed.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the money has been wasted.

At this time, someone came to report: "Greece has sent a plane, and it has arrived above us."

Aircraft have just been used on the battlefield, and there are still some unsolved problems for the time being.

Kliment Boyadzhiev could only pray that the Greek planes would miss the target when dropping their bombs...

Bulgarian artillery positions also spotted the aircraft.

They were shocked.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin was seen placing a gun barrel with a base on the ground.

Boom...

Shr...

A cruise missile was launched.

Before the Greek pilot could drop his bomb, he saw a beam of fire flying towards him.

At this time, the plane was still flying very slowly and at a very low altitude.

Before the pilot could react.

boom……

The Bulgarian artillery and the infantry in the trenches craned their necks and looked on in amazement.

What kind of gun is this? It’s so accurate?

Zhao Chuanxin held a cigarette in his mouth, the ash falling off automatically. He muttered, "I hope Greece won't send any more planes. After all, cruise missiles cost 100 gold coins each. If they fire too many, they'll lose money."

Finished the plane.

Zhao Chuanxin placed wards on the spot and then flashed towards the Greek side frequently.

He looked for high ground near the enemy's artillery position, and made roundabout ways to place points, planting six bronze points in a row.

After placing the ward, he teleported back.

Come to the Bulgarian artillery position and help a group of artillerymen adjust the artillery.

The artilleryman was confused: "What are you doing?"

He recognized Zhao Chuanxin, the man who had just shot down the plane, so he spoke politely.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed him away: "Stop talking nonsense."

As he said this, he put on his sunglasses and fired a shot.

At this time, the artillery fire from both sides could not be said to be blind shooting, but it was just roughly plowing the ground.

Few shells were effective.

But Zhao Chuanxin is different.

Xingyue adjusted the coordinates for Zhao Chuanxin based on the landing point of the shells detected by the Bronze Eye.

Zhao Chuanxin fired three shots in succession, and the third shell landed accurately on the enemy artillery position.

The enemy's firepower was weakened.

I blanch...

The artillerymen looked at Zhao Chuanxin with strange eyes.

Zhao Chuanxin made another fine adjustment and fired.

boom……

Crooked.

Fine tune.

boom……

hit.

Zhao Chuanxin fired 28 shots and hit 7 times.

Directly silence the opponent.

Zhao Chuanxin wiped his hands and face which were blackened by smoke, threw the rag away, and turned to leave.

"Who on earth is this person?"

"do not know."

"Why didn't the enemy open fire?"

"I guess he was scared by the beating."

"Then why didn't he keep firing?"

"This……"

Zhao Chuanxin left because he saw through the bronze eye that the enemy artillery was retreating and deploying about two regiments of troops to advance towards the town of Kilkis.

In fact, what Zhao Chuanxin didn't see was that the six infantry battalions and cavalry battalions of the Greek 1st and 6th Divisions were encircling here from other directions.

Zhao Chuanxin went to the command post and told Kliment Boyagev: "They are coming, and the vanguard is two battalions. You order the artillery to retreat, give me two companies of cavalry, and the rest of you to strictly guard the 123 defense line."

After Kliment Boyagev heard that Zhao Chuanxin shot down a plane and personally operated the artillery, silencing the Greek artillery, his trust in him increased sharply.

Well... this is called professionalism!
He learned from the radio that the Greek 7th Division had occupied Karakoli on the eastern flank and was approaching Hegrita.

The Bulgarian battlefield suffered repeated defeats.

Only he has seen some improvement here.

When it comes to rewards based on merit after the war, maybe he will be the winner.

The Gevgeliya Line of Defense in the nearby Kalinovo Mountains was in a tough battle. If his Line 123 could be held, it would be very beneficial to the situation.

He agreed immediately.

Zhao Chuanxin led a cavalry unit of 600 people and used their strong mobility to reach the Galikos River.

He ordered everyone to dismount and hide their horses, using the steep slope of the river bank as cover, and then took out twenty Maxim guns and several boxes of ammunition.

Zhao Chuanxin ordered: "Two people in a group, one loading ammunition and one machine gunner, the rest lying in ambush and waiting for the enemy to cross the river."

Although the cavalry battalion commander Daniel Zhivkov was surprised, he didn't know where Zhao Chuanxin got the Maxim and ammunition from.

But he resisted Zhao Chuanxin's orders from the bottom of his heart. He knew that this Asian was not a Bulgarian soldier.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face.

Snapped……

"Are you fucking deaf? Didn't Clement tell you to follow my orders?"

Five finger marks immediately appeared on Daniel Zhivkov's face.

He was furious and wanted to pull out his gun.

Zhao Chuanxin took out the skull crusher, grabbed Daniel Zhivkov's hand that was drawing the gun, and hit his little finger with a hammer.

Shattered!
"Ow..."

Zhao Chuanxin cursed: "Fuck the guy next door, why don't you give the order?"

The bystanders were stunned.

They are at a loss.

He was supposed to help his battalion commander, but along the way, the battalion commander listened to this man.

If they don’t help, he’s the battalion commander, their direct superior.

They didn't recognize Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin was about to raise the hammer again, and Daniel Zhivkov shouted, "Listen to him, listen to him..."

Zhao Chuanxin snorted coldly: "Come here, shut his mouth, don't let the enemy find out the clues."

At this time, two Greek regiments had reached the Galikos River.

Their scouts crossed the river on horseback first to check the enemy situation, but in order to speed up the advance, the rear army crossed the river at the same time.

Zhao Chuanxin frowned.

He understood why the other party was so confident.

Xingyue transmitted the image of the Bronze Eye of Kilkis town behind to the sunglasses.

Zhao Chuanxin saw that a battalion of Greek cavalry had taken the lead in harassing from the west.

This ensured that the Bulgarian infantry on the 123rd defensive line would not dare to cross the trenches.

The scouts went ashore, and the leading Greek troops in the rear had already waded into the water.

On Zhao Chuanxin's side, everyone held their breath and didn't dare to breathe.

Because the Greek scouts were close at hand.

The scout sat on his horse, his hands resting on his awning, and looked out.

After looking for a while, he took out the telescope and looked into the distance.

He frowned, put down the telescope, and rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin could hear the people around him breathing heavier.

There are only six hundred people here.

The Greek side had more than 4000.

There is a huge difference in the number of people.

Just a few more steps and the scouts will spot them!

At this moment, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly disappeared and appeared behind the Greek scout, also sitting on horseback.

He covered the scout's mouth and hit him with a hammer, causing the back of the scout's head to cave in.

Zhao Chuanxin wrapped the horse's belly, and the horse kicked forward, disappeared behind the slope, leaving the body behind.

Because all this happened so quickly and without making any sound, the other Greek scouts did not notice it.

Daniil Zhivkov, hiding behind the steep slope, was dumbfounded.

Although Zhao Chuanxin smashed his little finger, he had to admire Zhao Chuanxin's skill and courage.

When the Greek vanguard entered the middle of the river, Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and said, "Fire!"

bang bang bang...

Tata Tata...

Attack them when they are halfway across the river.

The Greek army was shocked.

They should have successfully crossed the river and joined forces with other parties to attack the town of Kilkis.

How dare the Bao army take the risk of an ambush here?

They couldn't figure it out no matter what.

Zhao Chuanxin was in his own group, firing wildly with the Maxim rifle.

The Greek army was caught in a dilemma and could hardly fight back in the water. They were beaten and retreated in a panic, abandoning their weapons and armor.

After paying the price of more than 500 people, the other side withdrew to the other side.

Zhao Chuanxin issued a ceasefire order and told Daniel Zhivkov: "Lead the troops to retreat, Maxim stays where he is, and you go east."

Daniel Zhivkov didn't know whether he should admire or hate Zhao Chuanxin.

But he didn't care about that at the moment, and asked Zhao Chuanxin anxiously: "Why don't you return to the defense line?"

"Idiot, if you go back now, you will run into a battalion of enemy cavalry. Can you defeat them?"

Daniel Zhivkov felt nervous and wanted to ask Zhao Chuanxin how he knew that.

But in the end, he shut up and obeyed orders.

As it turned out, the team led by Zhao Chuanxin was much stronger than him.

Seeing that he had finally obeyed, Zhao Chuanxin said to him, "Don't lose the radio equipment. Stay in the east and wait for orders from the command post. Also, wear this pendant. Remember to wear it outside your clothes, otherwise you will be punished by military law!"

As he spoke, Zhao Chuanxin gave him a bronze eye pendant.

"Yes!"

As soon as they left, Zhao Chuanxin collected all the Maxim and ammunition, and even took the time to return to Quetshalan to unload the goods.

Kilkis town command post.

Kliment Boyadyev's forehead was covered with sweat.

He had received news that the enemy was attacking from two directions and that the 10th Greek Division had blocked the reinforcement route between the Kalinuovo Mountains and the town of Kilkis.

Gevgoria is in danger.

Now they are on their own.

He hurriedly asked his adjutant: "Where is Zhao Chuanxin? Hasn't he come back yet? Didn't Battalion Commander Daniel Zhivkov send a radio message?"

The adjutant shook his head: "No."

Kliment Boyagiev said to himself: "A battalion of cavalry harassing us must not want us to leave the trenches. Zhao Chuanxin led the cavalry to the Galikos River. He must have noticed that the Greek army would cross the river to attack and wanted to ambush them. Zhao Chuanxin is really brave. How can he guarantee victory?"

The more he talked, the more anxious he became.

Just as he was frowning, Zhao Chuanxin pushed the door open and walked in: "What's going on?"

Kliment Boyadyev was overjoyed to see him.

But then he found out that Zhao Chuanxin came back alone, and his heart skipped a beat - could it be that the two companies of cavalry had been wiped out?

He told Zhao Chuanxin: "The 1st and 6th Division of the Greek Army has formed 6 battalions of infantry and 1 battalion of cavalry to attack our flank. The cavalry battalion has arrived. How is your side doing?"

Zhao Chuanxin said casually: "Two battalions of the Greek Second Division crossed the river. I attacked them halfway across the river. They suffered 500 to 600 casualties and retreated to the other side of the river, but I'm afraid they will come back. I ordered two cavalry companies to retreat eastward to avoid running into the Greek cavalry."

I blanch...

Kliment Boyadyev's eyes widened.

If Zhao Chuanxin wasn't talking nonsense, then he was a bit too awesome.

He deployed his troops like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace and anticipating the enemy's moves, able to infer the Greek cavalry's harassment in advance?
Of course he didn't know that Zhao Chuanxin "saw" it, not expected it.

Zhao Chuanxin told him: "From now on, I will only be responsible for the 123rd line of defense. You can handle the rest of the lines yourself."

He took the money from the No. 123 defense line, and what he just did was just a whim.

After saying that, Zhao Chuanxin turned around and left the command post and went to the trench position.

He placed wards in every bunker.

Then he watched the Greek cavalry showing off their might outside, unmoved.

The two Greek regiments coming from the south were supposed to arrive first.

But because Zhao Chuanxin led his men to ambush, the other six battalions arrived first.

They launched an attack directly towards the position.

Zhao Chuanxin set up six bunkers. He first came to Bunker No. 6, set up the Maxim, and took out a telescope specially made for him by Xingyue.

There are central control rune fragments and worm silk inside this telescope to adjust the focus.

But what Zhao Chuanxin saw with his naked eyes was not the telescope barrel, but the true vision crystal behind it.

This telescope is a bit like a diving goggles, with an elastic band that goes directly over the head.

Zhao Chuanxin put on the chaos armor and operated the machine gun to carry out a long-range sweep of 1.5 kilometers.

Because the distance was too far, neither side opened fire, and he was the only one who fired.

Ta ta ta...

At first, Xingyue needed to adjust the crosshairs.

Zhao Chuanxin raised the gun barrel by 15 degrees, constantly moved the muzzle of the machine gun, and adjusted the up and down angles.

Flames flew and shells flew, but they hit nothing.

At this distance, you really need to let the bullet fly for a while.

When Maxim fired, the muzzle's upward and downward movement was large, and the left and right movement was small, so the trajectory of the muzzle's movement was elliptical.

When a bullet is fired at a very long distance, the landing point is an elliptical area that is long on the left and short on the right.

Theoretically, as long as the shooting time is long enough, bullets can land in every corner of this elliptical area.

Old Zhao has great arm strength and can shrink this trajectory again and again.

The Bulgarian soldiers hiding in the trenches muttered: "It's so far away, how can we hit anything?"

On the other side, Greek soldiers were also laughing: "Bulgarian idiots, shooting from such a distance, it would be strange if you can hit anyone!"

Before he could finish his words, several people in front of him were shot and fell to the ground.

"..."

For those soldiers who were shot, the bullets entered their shoulders and exited their waists.

Because the bullet was projectile...

Zhao Chuanxin saw it carefully and suddenly came up with a new tactic in his mind, which would definitely come in handy in the future!

Kliment Boyaziev's adjutant, looking through a telescope.

He was shocked to see Zhao Chuanxin shooting Greek soldiers in rows 1.5 kilometers away.

At first he thought it was just luck, but then he realized it was no coincidence.

Zhao Chuanxin is really capable of accurately shooting the enemy at such a long distance...

He hurried back to report to Kliment Boyadyev.

Kliment Boyadyev said in disbelief: "Did you see it clearly? Did you really see it clearly?"

The adjutant insisted: "I saw it clearly, absolutely correct, the Greek soldiers had no way to avoid it!"

I boil!

Kliment Boyaziev was now completely convinced by Zhao Chuanxin.

No wonder, he is capable of fighting against an entire army alone!
No wonder Asians call him the God of War and Europeans and Americans call him the Butcher...
