At dawn, everyone took turns to stutter breakfast in the alley, scorched bean juice, fried liver buns, serious and authentic old Beijing flavor, after eating separately, Lei Meng took people to buy grain and grass, Liu Yanzhi and the two masters went to Li Mansion to listen to the news.

The three of them arrived at the Li Mansion first, and the next person said that the master went to the Yamen on an errand early in the morning, and he didn't know when he would come back, and Wang San and the sixth son, who were messing around at the door yesterday, were not there, and it was said that they went to Beitang to participate in the war.

"Beitang will definitely take it today, proper." The next person said mysteriously, "Duanwang and his old man have invited the great god, and I am the only one in the concierge, otherwise I want to go and see the excitement." ”

Liu Yanzhi was very interested, and exchanged glances with the two masters, and the eyes of the three of them were all one word: Go!

The Li Mansion was not far from the North Hall, and the three of them walked like a fly, and arrived at the battlefield in a quarter of an hour.

The battle continued, thousands of Boxers had gathered in front of the Xishiku Church, and the weapons were varied, basically with large blades and red tassel guns, occasionally some grappling hooks, nails, rakes and guillotines and other agricultural tools, and occasionally the shadow of foreign guns could be seen, but only the senior brothers and officials and soldiers were qualified to hold them.

The weapons of the Boxers were backward, but the flags were the first to catch the crowd, the red, green, blue, and yellow variegated flags covered the sky and the sun, many of them were temporarily sewn with looted cloth, there were recognition flags with the surname of the senior brother written on them, and more were regimental flags with the words "Fuqing and Extinguishing the Foreigners" written on them, and the simple peasant faces were full of excitement and fanaticism.

Although there were many soldiers and horses, no one dared to walk into the range of foreign guns, as if there was an invisible horizontal line in front of the north hall, and the boxers exchanged heads and ears, talking a lot, as if they were waiting for something.

Liu Yanzhi, Xia Feixiong, and Yan Shengnan naturally didn't watch the excitement with these ordinary people, they climbed a big tree, condescendingly, and had an unobstructed view.

A moment later, there was a roar, and the crowd got out of the way, and out of the back came a red horse, not a divine horse, an ordinary short Mongolian horse, but with a reddish coat, barely able to be called a red rabbit horse.

The person on horseback is not simple, eight feet tall, burly and strong, the red rabbit horse under the crotch is obviously not a good match compared to him, a green robe on his body, made of fine silk, a small wind blowing, the sleeves are sassy, the hero holds a green dragon glaive knife in his right hand, the whole body is iron, looking at least a few hundred pounds in weight, the blade is cold, murderous, holding a book in his left hand, it is too far away to see what book it is, but this appearance, eighty percent of the look is the Spring and Autumn Period.

If you are optimistic about Han's face, it is as red as the crotch dismounting, with a beautiful beard on the chin, Danfeng eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, not angry and self-righteous, and the reincarnation of a martial saint Guan Yunchang, of course, there are also flaws, the man's head is bald, and there are a few ring scars.

Listening to the discussion of the people below, this is Duanwang Lixian's corporal three visits to the thatched house, specially invited from Wutai Mountain to invite the holy monk Master Pujing, you can invite Guan Yu's grandfather to the upper body, behead Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Guan Yu Guan Yunchang who has passed five passes and six generals, that is a martial saint, his old man is out of the horse, and the foreigners will be defeated.

For a while, the mood of optimism and revolutionism spread, and the Boxers talked and laughed, as if they had seen the beautiful picture of the Beitang being captured and the 5,000 women and children of the Catholic people hiding inside at their mercy.

Yan Shengnan said worriedly: "I heard that the old devil in the North Hall has boundless mana, and the holy monk can win, and it is estimated that it will cost a lot of mana." ”

Xia Feixiong also said: "Today is here, those rural elder brothers are all fooling people, what invulnerability, nonsense, the monks of Wutai Mountain really have some skills, I heard that their martial arts are all passed down by the flower monk Lu Zhishen." ”

There is a point in the distance, Liu Yan has a straight eye, you can see that under the umbrella cover on the stage is a prince wearing a python robe, surrounded by a group of monks and women dwarfs, with hideous faces and demonic aura, presumably that is King Duan and his generals.

A good show is about to start the gong, the auspicious time has arrived, the king of Duan issued an order, the war drums sounded, hundreds of nominal and regimental holding high incense, kneeling in the direction of the north hall, chanting words in the mouth.

Looking at the direction of the north hall, the main building is a Gothic church, surrounded by some bungalows, and there are faint people dressed as missionaries on the roof.

The holy monk from Wutai Mountain urged the horse forward, and no one followed behind him, and there was a lot of heroism when Guan Yunchang went to the meeting alone.

Tens of thousands of eyes stared at the holy monk to see how he broke the demon magic of the old devil in the North Hall, only to see a rifle sticking out of the church window.

"Bang" a gunshot rang out.

The holy monk shook on the horse and planted it directly, the jujube red horse was frightened, turned his head and ran, and one of the holy monk's feet was still pinned in the stirrup, and was dragged back by the horse.

The drums of war stopped, the spells stopped, and the battlefield was silent.

Looking at the general stage again, King Duan brushed his sleeves away, and the others also withdrew in disgrace.

The prince is gone, today's offensive is over, the Boxers are all scattered, no one is shouting to avenge the holy monk, to be ashamed of the martial saint grandfather, what they know is the war, and those who don't know think that these people are here to see the play.

Liu Yanzhi and a few of them also jumped off the tree, and walked out with the crowd, and suddenly a man with a red tassel gun shouted at Xia Feixiong: "The surname is Xia, why are you here." ”

"Zhang Daqi, if you can come, can't I come? Co-authored Beijing City, which is opened by your family? Xia Feixiong replied angrily.

Zhang Daqi also has a Cangzhou accent, with a full beard and a rough face, and a group of men behind him who also hold red tassel guns, all with horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, have the meaning of starting to fight if they don't agree.

"You kidnap the population, and it's reasonable, I'm going to teach you a lesson for the Yan family today, a flower thief." Zhang Daqi put the red tassel gun in his hand and put on a posture, his is a small flower gun, not long or short, just suitable for the horse to fight.

A circle of people instantly gathered around, happily watching the free liveliness.

Xia Feixiong was also unambiguous, tearing open his shirt to reveal a row of shiny darts on the belt.

Zhang Daqi said: "I forgot, you use a secret weapon, or not, I'll learn your secret weapon kung fu." As he spoke, he threw the little spear to his men, and ripped open the placket of his shirt, and a pair of old-fashioned flintlock handcuffs stuck in the copper-tipped cowhide belt at his waist, and a single-shot pistol stuffed with gunpowder and iron sand.

Without waiting for Xia Feixiong to speak, Liu Yanzhi presented the shell gun, and Xia Feixiong took the gun, full of pride and triumphant.

Zhang Daqi was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "The big war is imminent, I won't meet you today, let's go back to Cangzhou another day and make an appointment." ”

"I'll wait for you." Xia Feixiong said.

"Let's go." Zhang Daqi went majestically with a group of people.

"Cangzhou Xiaozhangzhuang Red Gun Society." Xia Feixiong explained to Liu Yanzhi in a low voice, "It's a despicable villain, and he has a bit of a holiday with me. ”

"Kill him." Liu Yan looked directly at Zhang Daqi's back and said.

"You can't in the same room." Xia Feixiong, who looked like a rude person, actually said an idiom, and then looked at Yan Shengnan, who had long since disappeared.

"I don't have to wait for your sister." Xia Feixiong's face was a little strange.

The two continued to walk forward, and sure enough, Yan Shengnan followed, seemed a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Is my father and them here too?" ”

"I didn't see it, maybe I didn't come." Xia Feixiong was a little flustered, saying this, but his eyes looked around vigilantly.

Seeing that it was noon, Liu Yanzhi wanted to invite the two masters to dinner, Xia Feixiong said How can you let your apprentice pay for it, I will come.

There is obviously a big restaurant on the street, Xia Feixiong didn't enter, he found a second meat shop at the mouth of the alley, ordered fried kidney flowers, fried large intestines, peanuts, half a catty of two pots, two catties of flatbread, and the three of the master and apprentice started eating.

Xia Feixiong ate absent-mindedly, Yan Shengnan had no appetite, both of them were restless, and Liu Yanzhi's mind echoed the two words used by Zhang Daqi, "abducting the population, picking flowers and thieves". Could it be that the master and the master eloped?

"Master, if something happens, let's go back first, and I'll go to the Li Mansion again." Liu Yan said straight.

"It's okay, it's not safe for us to stay here, so let's take refuge from you first." Xia Feixiong said.

"That's the best way to ask for advice sooner or later." Liu Yan said happily.

After eating, Xia Feixiong slapped a string of copper coins on the oily table and made an account, the boss was very happy, the Boxers were all over Beijing, they could make a fortune doing small business, the flow of people was huge, and not everyone ate the overlord meal without paying, and the business was more than three times better than in the past.

The little couple left first, Liu Yanzhi went to the Li Mansion again, and met Wang San and Liuzi at the door, the two were not very interested, worried, obviously the first battle in the morning frustrated the spirit, the old devil demon method in the north hall is too powerful, even Guan Erye can't fight them, where to reason.

The next person saw Liu Yanzhi coming, and he didn't know it, so he took him directly to the backyard to see the master, Li Chongzheng had just returned to the house, and he didn't even have time to change his official uniform, and the Prime Minister's Wupin Zhangjing of the Yamen of the National Affairs Yamen sighed when he saw Liu Yanzhi: "Liu Yishi is really like a god, today Lafayette passed down the decree to send melons, fruits, vegetables, vegetables and rice grains to Dongjiaomin Lane, and the Minister of Military Aircraft handed over the mission to our Yamen, no one wants to do this errand, I took it." ”

Liu Yan said happily: "Very good, it is convenient for Lord Li to host this matter, I want to bring a few people in the food delivery team." ”

Li Chongzheng said: "It's easy to say, just change your clothes, but this matter is not in a hurry, the Internal Affairs Office has not allocated the money yet, and it will be tomorrow at the earliest." ”

The two made an appointment to meet, and Liu Yan resigned and went straight to Dongjiaomin Lane to observe the terrain again.

The defense capability of the embassy area is much stronger than that of the North Hall, although there are no cannons, but there are machine guns and rifles, the rifles in 1900 have been relatively advanced, and the performance of the mainstream rifles in World War II is not much different, they are all fixed magazines with five rounds, look at the dense rifles sticking out of the wall, there are at least 200 defenders on the front line.

According to Liu Yanzhi's observation, the official army is at least divided into two types of troops, one is the so-called new army wearing a combination of Chinese and Western military uniforms, which should be the Wuwei Chinese army led by Rong Lu himself, and the other is the army with a turban, a wide robe and big sleeves, straw sandals, and a western accent, which should be the Gan army under Dong Fuxiang, which is a killer feature of Rong Lu's men.

The New Army and the Gan Army were both the strongest armies of the Qing Dynasty, and they used imported five-son fast guns that were no different from those of foreigners, such as Austrian Manlisha, German Mauser, French Lebel, and Russian Water Lianzhu, and even water-cooled heavy machine guns that could fire 600 rounds a minute, while their opponents were only embassy guards composed of sailors, marines, expatriates, and religious people from various countries, and the forces on both sides were completely asymmetrical.

Although the disparity is so great, the battle situation has been balanced, the Qing army can not rush in, and the foreigners do not dare to come out, the two are so deadlocked, even if the tactics of encirclement but not attack are adopted, the fall of the embassy area is a matter of time, because drinking water and food can not be supported for too long, but the attacking side is afraid that the other party will not be able to hold on, so it actually takes the initiative to send supplies.

This is really an inexplicable war, war is the continuation of politics, if the Qing Dynasty is strong, this hand is also beautiful, but it is a pity that the Qing Dynasty has been twilight, playing political tricks in the face of absolute strength, just to bring humiliation on itself.
