Fox of France

Butz and Francis covered each other and went down to the bottom. Butz picked up the torch that fell on the ground, and stretched it out to illuminate the surroundings.

"See something, Butz?" shouted the man above.

"No..." Butz said while holding a torch and walking inside. At this time, his foot seemed to trip over something.

Butz staggered and almost fell to the ground. The torch in his hand sank, and a child's wide-open eyes appeared in front of him, but the eyes were full of whites...

"Ah!" Butz exclaimed, and jumped up, almost bumping into Francis.

"What's wrong?" Francis asked.

"It's nothing." Butz also recovered at this time, and replied, "I fell and almost fell on the dead man."

Then he stretched the torch over there, and in the light of the fire, he could see a child lying there with a bleeding mouth, holding a doll in his hand. Not far from the child lay her mother, still holding an empty bottle in her hand.

A little further ahead, there are two boxes, and I don't know what is contained in them.

Butz turned his head and shouted to the one above: "There is no one alive inside! I saw two boxes!"

The soldiers came down one after another, first dragged the box up, and then someone lifted up the mother and child who died inside. It was a very young woman, and her child was probably only two years old, probably just walking.

But now everyone's attention is not on them-two dead people, everyone has seen a lot. All eyes were on these two boxes.

The box was locked, but such things as locks, no matter how strong they are, can only defend against thieves. When they meet the French, these things are useless at all. A soldier picked up the butt of his gun and broke the lock hanging on it with a few strokes. Then Philips walked over and lifted the lid of the case.

As the lid of the box was lifted, a burst of golden light almost pierced people's eyes. Inside that box, the ground is full of golden gold coins.

"What is this? Oh, it's gold! It's real gold! Thank God Almighty! It's all gold!" Philip picked up a gold coin, put it in his mouth, and bit it lightly.

"Company commander..."

Many soldiers looked at him. There was a different kind of light in their eyes.

Philip immediately closed the lid of the box and said, "These are the property of France. Let the pastor come and register them later. Most of the gold coins in the box should be worth a lot of money."

After saying this, he looked at everyone meaningfully. Everyone immediately understood what the company commander meant, and they all laughed.

Although it took only a short time to open the box just now, everyone can see that it is not half a box of gold coins, but a box full of gold coins. This means that the company commander is willing to take the lead with everyone...

And this box, what's in it? Everyone quickly turned their attention to this problem. Then the same gun butt broke the lock, and then Philip lifted the lid, and everyone stuck their heads in. However, there was no whole box of gold or silver in this box, but some neatly packed paper. However, everyone was not particularly disappointed. Although this box looked bigger than that one, it was not heavy when it was lifted up. Therefore, before opening the box, everyone was already guessing that there would probably be no what.

Philip picked up the top sheet of paper and looked at it. It was a deposit certificate of the Bowan Bank, with an amount of one hundred thousand francs. It is a pity that this is a deposit receipt that can only be withdrawn by matching the agreed password. If you don't know the corresponding password, you can't withdraw money just by holding the deposit certificate. Of course, the money that cannot be withdrawn still belongs to the person named Abdullah bin Haq on the deposit certificate in name. But the deposit certificate must be handed over to the country as a spoil of war. Even if Abdullah bin Haq did not die in this war, without the deposit certificate, he would not be able to withdraw the money. So this money is destined to lie motionless in Bowang Bank's account, and even, it is already Mr. Bowang's money.

There are other title deeds, and some bills and so on. But Philip felt that most of these bills could not be found. At this moment he noticed smoke rising in several other directions, suggesting that the siege of other estates was also in full swing.

The Turks and French attacks on the manor outside the city were quickly discovered by the defenders in the city-after all, the high watchtower on the city wall is not a useless decoration. Ahdi Pasha immediately lowered the beam and blocked the news, because many people in the city had their property outside, and if they knew about things outside the city, they might not be able to defend the city with peace of mind.

But how can this kind of news be blocked? The soldiers had to go up to the city wall for defense. When they got on the city wall, they would naturally be able to see what the Turks were doing outside. As a result, the morale of the army was shaken, and some officers immediately came to ask Pasha to send troops to destroy the invaders. But Ahdi Pasha was worried that sending troops would weaken the defense of the port. When he was in trouble, he heard someone report that Yusuf Pasha, with his cavalry, was willing to go out of the city to wipe out the enemy troops.

Hearing the news, Ahdi Pasha was overjoyed and hurried to see Yusuf Pasha off in person. Yusuf left the city with more than two hundred cavalry.

The team of Turkish cavalry who had been standing guard at the gate of the city reacted immediately. They first fired a firework into the sky to remind those friendly troops who were happily looting that the enemy had come out. Then it got closer.

Today's cavalry operations in North Africa are gradually catching on to the European track. They also became popular with revolver cavalry. On the contrary, the Turkish cavalry is relatively more conservative. Until now, they are still equipped with cavalry spears. Of course, if there is really a chance to charge or something, the long cavalry spear is not necessarily inferior to the pistol. But they have pistols, so they fight you hand-to-hand when they are stupid. So with a crackling sound, the Turks' cavalry gave up the task of holding down the enemy and fled in all directions. According to post-war statistics, at that moment, the Turkish cavalry was reduced by one-tenth. What do you think can be done? Of course it's the only way to run.

After getting rid of the entanglement of the Turkish cavalry, Yusuf Pasha quickly approached the manor closest to the city with more than two hundred cavalry.

I have had a cold for the past two days, and I still have a little fever. The condition is not very good.
