186 The battle is getting tougher
Of course, the foreign devils who threw explosives at the root of the north wall of the Yamen are Matthew and Mike, who are not afraid of big things, these Americans who are full of western cowboy heroism love to mix in this kind of violent conflict, not to mention that the protagonist in this is still their friend Xiao Letian, which makes it even more difficult for them to stand by and watch.
"Xiao, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, this is not like you in Naha, I still remember the figure of you charging in the battle at that time, how can you deal with it so inappropriately today?"
Mike still wanted to continue to play tricks, Xiao Letian got up and scolded angrily, "You don't give me nonsense, my daughter-in-law was not in Naha at that time, and now someone wants to harm my daughter-in-law, dare you not take it seriously......" After speaking, he wiped the blood on his nose, and rushed forward again.
Matthew and Mike looked at each other and smiled, shrugged their shoulders and strode up to follow, they were really in good shape, they could get on the bullets and chat while running, and their mood looked extremely relaxed.
It was not only Xiao Letian who was in an anxious mood, on the edge of the official road on the west side of Tanggu City, a fierce quarrel had lasted for a quarter of an hour, and the surrounding soldiers were stunned.
Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun...... What are you two talking about? You two are going to disobey, I cāo your ancestors' ...... Kill you two conscienceless guys......"
The iron head with gauze wrapped around his back rushed up like crazy, and the iron fist like a small jar smashed over his head and face, and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly stopped him, hugged his waist and pulled his arm by arm, and pulled him away desperately.
How could Tie Toutuo, who came to report the news, not be angry, he couldn't imagine that Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun would actually veto Xiao Letian's order after a little meeting, they actually didn't care about the life and death of adults, and they didn't even call back a single soldier.
"Toutuo, calm down and listen to me. Now our two companies only have 180 people, and we are facing a full 1,500 Qing Demon Green Battalion soldiers, don't think that our muskets are powerful, the number of enemies is enough to make up the gap......"
"Of course, we know that the adults are in danger right now, but the adults are only facing dozens of dead soldiers, and it is impossible for the adults to be resourceful without a solution. If we divide our forces now, we are not sure if we can save the adults, and whether we can eat the enemy in front of us is not certain......"
"Toutuo, open your eyes and take a good look at the shape of the battlefield now, the enemy is hiding in the drainage canal, the muskets can no longer hit them, and the hand-to-hand battle is about to begin, how can we divide the troops at this time, do you really think that the war is a joke?"
When Tietou Tuo heard this, he was furious, "Fart, you are all farts... I don't care what you encounter, I know that the adults are in danger now, and if you don't save it, it will be rebellion, and Lao Tzu will break off your friendship with the two of you......"
"You don't want to think that in Naha, we didn't retreat in the face of 100,000 thugs, we relied on the victory we won all the way, what is it that we are outnumbered? Is it bigger than the night in the Ryukyus..."
Xiao He was so angry that he almost dropped the telescope, "You are confused, why are you so confused... Is Naha the same place as Tanggu? This is a vast continent, and there is a lonely island over there. How can this compare?"
"What kind of place is Tanggu? It was the place where the British and French forces forcibly opened the gate of the Qing Dynasty, this is the seaport that was forced to open and close, and it is the place that the Manchus attach the most importance to. There are now 8,000 cavalry and countless infantry in Tianjin, and as long as they are dispatched, they can arrive here in less than two hours......"
"We are facing the entire Qing Dynasty, not a weak Japanese ronin, if we don't quickly defeat the reinforcements of the Qing Demon, what resistance will we have? Even if we have the courage to fight, but how much ammunition can we have? Enough for us to fight for a few days, haven't you counted all this?"
Tietoutuo made Xiao Hexin and Sima Yunsheng scolded, and his angry eyes turned black, "Lao Tzu doesn't care, Lao Tzu knows that adults are extremely dangerous now, Sun Sanhu's dead soldiers have surrounded them, adults are already isolated, without adults, let's count a fart, do we still want to gain a foothold in this world?"
Tietoutuo's words moved everyone: "Think about it, what were you doing at this time last year? Some of you are bandits in the Taihang Mountains, some are green forest characters living in the rivers and lakes, and some are ordinary people in Naha Port. Who changed your fate? Think about it......"
"It's Mr. Xiao, it's our Lord Xiao, it's Prime Minister Xiao of the Ryukyu Kingdom... Without Xiao Letian, we're a fart...... Are you so ungrateful..."Speaking of this, Tietoutuo pointed to the two company commanders in front of him and said coldly.
"You and I have known each other for nearly ten years, I send you a word not to make mistakes, don't you want to think about it, if you two don't send troops to save adults today. What will adults think of you two in the future? What will our colleagues think of you? Do you want to get mixed up under adults? Do you know what loyalty is......
Tietoutuo's words were a bit damaging, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun's faces were white, and their hands trembled with anger.
"Tietoutuo, you don't have to provoke us with words, if Mr. Xiao is such a small-bellied person, we won't follow him all the way. We are confident that when the crisis is over, the adult will understand our distress and he will appreciate our determination......"
Tietoutuo didn't care that the enemy was in front of him, and jumped to his feet and roared loudly, "Brothers, do you hear? Your company commander actually didn't save him when he saw death, and he didn't even care about Prime Minister Xiao's life... Don't listen to their nonsense, loyal soldiers, come back with me, we will save Lord Xiao......"
The soldiers present were in an uproar, all the platoon commanders, squad leaders and soldiers were talking one by one, they subconsciously seemed to be going with Tietoutuo, but the strict military order had made them have a kind of inertia, they didn't dare to go, but they were unwilling not to go.
In this way, the army's heart was suddenly shaken. "Iron Head... If you disturb the hearts of our army, aren't you afraid of the military law of the adults? Now that we are the commander-in-chief of the battlefield, we will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, and whoever dares to leave the battlefield will be punished as deserters......
Where does Tietoutuo care about their military orders, the crazy wine and meat monk rushed up and slammed his fist at Xiao Hexin, but fortunately he dodged quickly, but the military hat was also knocked off the ground, "Bad cowardice, you are a bad seed." I figured it out, you want to be independent, don't you, you want to pull the mountain yourself......"
"Bullshit, fuck you, Lao Tzu is a subordinate of adults in life and death, you shut your mouth for me, and if you mess with my army's heart, I will shoot you......"
Just when the two were scuffling together, a team of fast horses suddenly ran from the east gate, and it was Wang Huaiyuan, the head of Xiao Letian's intelligence agency, who was the head.
"Stop, are you all crazy?" Wang Huaiyuan's stronghold during this time was hidden on an American merchant ship, and the entire battle tonight was deduced by him and Xiao Letian together, and he didn't expect that these officials would be so useless, and the plan had a fatal flaw from the beginning.
When he took a few guards in his hands to rescue Xiao Letian, he found that it was too late. At the critical moment, Wang Huaiyuan showed a shock beyond ordinary people, which is also what Xiao Letian admires most about him.
Wang Huaiyuan didn't say a word, and went straight to the ambush of the new army in the west of the city, but at a glance he saw Tietoutuo who was playing crazy. "Toutuo, what are you going to do, when is this coming, how can you mess with the army......
"Lao Wang, you are here, look at these two pigs and dogs, adults are in trouble and do not divide troops to rescue, this is a traitor, they are traitors..."
"You're such a bastard... Can't you tell which is more important than the other? What right do you have to interfere with military command? Even if you have an adult's command, you must know that you will not be subject to the foreign king's order, and even the adult does not know the ever-changing situation on the battlefield, and the right to make temporary decisions is granted by the lord himself..."
Tietoutuo touched his face and looked at Wang Huaiyuan incredulously, "Old Wang, old Wang...... You've also betrayed? Why have you forgotten the grace of Lord Jì? This is not what you used to be, when you gave your life to save the two ladies, you were not like this, and you were not like this when you rushed up with the enemy's sword......
Wang Huaiyuan made Toutuo's old face blush slightly, "Toutuo, you don't understand, you have to do this in this situation now, this is the only way out......"
"I don't care... All I know is that you are a bunch of ungrateful bastards, and I am ashamed to be with you......" After saying that, Tietoutuo turned his head and rushed towards the night to the north, and four or five soldiers did not hold him.
Today's situation is thanks to Wang Huaiyuan's suppression, if it was a little later, maybe some soldiers would be instigated by Tietoutuo and follow him back to Tanggu City, and then this ambush battle would have become a pot of raw rice.
Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun frowned and said, "Now is not the time to explain, when the battle is over, we will personally set up wine to make amends to Tietoutuo......
At this moment, when everyone was attracted by this quarrel, no one noticed that in the dark and dry cornfield, dozens of figures were crawling on the ground, each with a dagger smeared with mud in their mouths.
When the figure was close to the military formation, there was a sudden strange sound of "kill...", and fifty figures rushed towards the military formation.
This is the carefully selected dead soldier in the green battalion, the quarrel of the new army just now has been faintly heard by the three partial generals, this is a rare opportunity on the battlefield, whether it can be turned around depends on this one.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that the generals of the Qing Dynasty who did not have some personal soldiers and dead soldiers or something, these warriors who were fattened by their own silver are to be used at such a critical moment, and the people in the battle are talking about them.
Fifty dead men pierced the Forces nouvelles like sharp knives, and the soldiers had only had time to fire once before they were close to each other. The Spencer rifle was not suitable for bayonets, and the soldiers had short knives with them to provide protection, and the battle array was filled with the sound of white-knuckle fighting.
"Oh no, this head is really harmful... The troops changed formations, disengaged from the enemy, kept their distance, and other combat units immediately supported by fire..."After speaking, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun rushed forward first.
How could the three generals of the Green Battalion give up this opportunity, they jumped out of the canal, their swords out of their sheaths and shouted for battle.
"Brothers, the outcome depends on the present, don't let them change formations and stick to them...... As long as we stick to the hand-to-hand fight, we will win..."
"Rush... Kill..."More than a thousand Green Battalion soldiers shouted by their necks and pounced on the new army. R405
