Struggle in Russia

Alexey was indeed looking forward to Li Xiao. During the period when Li Xiao left, he was so busy that he had little time to go home. Many times, the first batch of official documents had not been processed yet, and the latter batch of official documents were in a mess. Bad things came to him in droves, making him tired of dealing with them.

For example, Duke Mikhail has been bothering him a lot recently, constantly asking for barbed wire and landmines, which annoys him very much. The question is, Wallachia's industrial capacity is there, how many landmines and mines can it produce? Barbed wire?

Even if it is all given to Duke Mikhail, it is not enough. What's more, it cannot be all given to that Duke. After all, Kornilov is also very important here.

Anyway, Alexey was already fed up with Duke Mikhail. He would get irritated whenever he saw his old face. In order to prevent him from getting angry and causing trouble one day, he could only leave this difficult job to Li Xiao.

It's just that the fundamental reason that made Li Xiao decide to return to Bucharest as soon as possible was not Duke Mikhail, but the situation on the battlefield that had undergone major changes. As the landing operation failed and as the main force of the coalition forces arrived on the battlefield, the pressure on Russia will only increase and the situation will get worse.

At this time, we must make a comprehensive plan to see what must be done in the next stage to achieve what purpose. This is definitely not possible in Ineada. After all, there are too many people and relationships to communicate and coordinate. I can go to Bucharest and even have frequent contacts with St. Petersburg.

When Li Xiao left Ineada, he didn't know what was waiting for him in the future, nor did he know that this city would soon be abandoned. However, he was full of confidence. After all, he was as poor as when he first crossed over. Compared to not knowing anyone, things are so much better now.

Li Xiao left with his front foot, and the French army's afternoon offensive began. Lucien and Claude stumbled to the Russian army's barbed wire fence again, but this time they were not so lucky. The always clever Claude was hit in the shoulder. After one shot, red blood flowed down his sleeve to the ground.

"Are you okay, Claude!" Lucien asked anxiously, "You must not have anything happen to you! I promised to betroth my sister to you, but you must not let her become a widow without marriage. !”

Claude had never suffered so much since he was a child. The gunshot wound on his shoulder was so painful that the stupid Lucien was still shaking him around, as if he was afraid that it wouldn't hurt him enough.

"Damn it, stop it!" Claude wailed, slapped Lucien's hairy hand away and lectured angrily: "This damn gunshot wound can't kill me, but I'm about to die from you! Also, when did I agree to marry your sister?"

"Didn't we agree to it the night before yesterday?" Lucien replied with a loyal face.

Claude said angrily: "What I'm saying is don't do it! You bastard really knows how to climb up the pole. What a coincidence you look like. Your sister must not be much more delicate. She might be stronger than me. I want to marry you." It’s my wife’s job not to hire a cleaning lady!”

Lucien defended: "My sister is obviously petite, delicate, delicate and cute, how can she not be worthy of you?!"

Claude pushed him and said angrily: "Is now the time to talk about this? The damn Russians have really strong firepower. What do you think the situation is like?"

Lucien carefully raised his head and glanced at the situation outside, then quickly drew back his neck and replied: "Some brothers broke through the barbed wire fence, and others are continuing to destroy the barbed wire fence..."

"Who asked you about other people? I asked you where Bertrand is and what he is doing!"

Lucien glanced up again and mocked: "That guy is hiding behind, seeming to be dancing and giving orders..."

"Sure enough, this guy is as cunning as Baudouin," Claude snorted, "Now we are in big trouble. If nothing else happens, Bertrand will order us to move on after a while..."

Lucien interrupted: "So what, Baudouin also gave such an order, just don't listen!"

Claude snorted again: "What do you know? Baudouin was at the front at that time and had nothing to do with us, so he could ignore it. But you see, Bertrand is behind us. As long as we are disobedient, He will definitely do something evil!"

"A dirty trick?!" Lucien exclaimed: "Is it possible that he still dares to shoot us behind the back?"

Claude sighed and said: "It doesn't have to be a black shot. He just needs to block our retreat so that we can't escape from the Russian attack..."

Lucien understood after a moment's thought. They were in front of the barbed wire fence and were the focus of the Russian army. As long as there was any sign of trouble, they would be fired immediately. Beltran is relatively safer at the back. He just doesn't do anything, just consuming them can kill them.

Moreover, Lucien and Claude could not turn around and escape, because Bertrand was blocking the back road, and he would shoot them if they dared to run.

All in all, it was a pain in the ass for them, and no matter how smart Claude was, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Forward! Move forward quickly, Lucien, what are you doing so stupidly? Come on!"

Sure enough, Bertrand did not forget to take revenge on Lucien. With so many people stagnant, he grabbed Lucien without caring about anyone. Obviously, this was intentional revenge and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife!

"Son of a bitch!"

Lucien is not stupid either. He naturally sees Bertrand's despicable intentions, but he can't resist. Who knows that he is just a soldier, and Bertrand is his direct superior!

"Don't worry," Claude saw that Lucien was a little over the top and seemed to be arrogant, so he quickly grabbed him, "Let me see, there is a way!"

Claude held his wound and raised his head with difficulty, looked around carefully, and then ordered Lucien: "Take the ax to the largest crater on our left front, and then hide in the crater and use the ax to pretend to chop the barbed wire. If the Russians are fierce, just retreat and rest. When they don’t pay attention to you, he will come out and show off. You should be able to handle it!"

Lucien looked at the so-called largest crater. In fact, it was just a hole barely big enough for a person to lie in. The hair on the back of the head of a person lying in it was all outside. If he wasn't careful, he might get shot.

But he knew that this was the only way. If he offended Bertrand and dared to blatantly refuse to execute the order, he would be killed by that guy's tip even if he didn't die by the Russians' gun.

The only solution for now was to work hard. He nodded solemnly, climbed out of the crater with his ax, and crawled towards the barbed wire fence step by step. Every step of the short distance of more than ten meters was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den...
