The British commander Clinton and the French commander Montuban held up the monoculars in their hands to carefully observe the lifeless Old Summer Palace under artillery fire.
Several rounds of artillery fire entered the Old Summer Palace, and there was a deathly silence in the Old Summer Palace, without the slightest sign of an ambush army.
Clinton put down the binoculars in his hand, looked at Montuban beside him and asked, "My friend, are you sure that your army was defeated here yesterday by the Braided Army?" ”
Montuban looked at Clinton very dissatisfiedly and said, "General Clinton, pay attention to your words, we were not defeated by the Manchu braided army, but we encountered some unexpected resistance here yesterday. There is not a trace of life here today, perhaps because the pigtailed army that ambushed here yesterday has fled in the night. ”
Clinton looked at Montuban with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry General Montuban, I didn't mean to slander you or the French army." According to your meaning, if the pigtailed army has fled at night, then the Old Summer Palace should have become an empty garden at this moment. General Montuban, in that case, would you please lead the French army into the park? ”
Montuban glanced at the cunning Clinton and said angrily: "Even if General Clinton doesn't say it, we French will be ashamed." But let's say it first, we French are the first to occupy this place at the risk of our lives, so the treasures here must be selected by us French first. ”
Clinton laughed, "General Montuban, don't you think what you said is a bit inconsistent?" As you said earlier, this may already be an empty garden, so how can you start by risking your life to enter here first? Hehe, if you French are afraid, let the warriors of the British Empire lead the way into the garden. However, the treasures in the garden will not be evenly distributed. ”
"That's not going to work, yesterday our fighters have already suffered heavy losses here, and we need to compensate."
"Hehe, but the compensation you need cannot be based on unfair conditions. I have an idea, if you want compensation, you can go to the Emperor of Big Braids to ask for it, he is in the Purple Gold City at the moment, as for the treasures here, I think we should still distribute them according to the principle of fairness. We in England have sent 18,000 men this time, and you French have only sent 7,000 men this time, and our army has suffered far more casualties than you French, so we must at least get three times more than you. ”
Monduban interrupted Clinton with a dark face: "General Clinton, there is an old saying in the Chinese, it is called that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants. You and I don't have to fight anymore, we each have our own abilities, and whoever grabs it is whoever's. However, the soldiers of your two countries must be strictly disciplined and must not compete with each other. ”
Monduban was playing his own little calculation in his heart, this time the troops to conquer the Qing Dynasty were mainly British, and they French were just coercing, if everyone divided the spoils according to their abilities, then according to the per capita value, the French would not be a loss, if they waited until the war to divide up, they French would definitely not be able to take advantage of the British.
Clinton smiled and nodded, he didn't believe that they couldn't rob seven thousand French with 18,000 men.
"That's fairer, okay, that's it."
In this way, the two shameless robbers were under the root of the imperial city of the Qing Dynasty, facing the Yuanmingyuan of Nuoda, and decided to divide the spoils as if they were nothing.
Clinton and Monduban quickly gave the order to ransack the Old Summer Palace, but there were no resisting chickens and dogs, and ninety percent of the property they had looted was handed over to the public and became their own spoils.
At the sound of an order, the British and French troops rushed towards the Old Summer Palace with a roar like spring animals.
The charge began, and Clinton and Montuban raised their binoculars again and looked at the Old Summer Palace, which was already smoking. 【】
Artillery reconnaissance found no trace of the enemy, but such a large royal garden, it is still easy to hide tens of thousands of troops.
People die for money, birds die for food, those British and French troops heard that they could leave a hundred percent of the looted property as a trophy, at this time each eye red rushed to the Old Summer Palace, as if the countless treasures in the Old Summer Palace were beckoning to them.
"Boom", on the passage outside the Xianliang Gate, the first mine was detonated.
The 700 steel balls flying in the sky shot indiscriminately at the dense British and French troops, and in an instant one or two hundred British and French soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and more than a dozen people died on the spot.
Clinton shook his hand, and he didn't see any sign of a cannon being fired from the garden, but the soldiers fell in large numbers with an explosion.
"Did you see someone firing a cannon?" Clinton asked urgently.
"No," Monduban replied dryly.
Last night, Monduban had already checked the injuries of those wounded soldiers, and the military doctor picked up five steel balls from old Mitterrand's body, and Monduban studied them for a long time, and finally could not determine what kind of weapon fired these steel balls.
The British and French soldiers in the group charge were startled by the explosion of the mines, but in the charging team of tens of thousands of people, one mine only knocked down one or two hundred people, which did not cause panic among the outlaws who were already interested in interests, but on the contrary, some people gloated and reduced a group of robbery competitors.
The British and French troops screamed like beasts and rushed towards the Xianliang Gate, and the mines planted by Ren Liang and seven eunuchs overnight last night were detonated one after another, and the roaring explosions came and went, and the British and French troops fell one by one, and the blood was already flowing in front of the Xianliang Gate.
Clinton and Monduban, who were holding binoculars, swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time, and the explosion had sounded seven times, and they did not even find out where the Chinese cannons came from, and there was still a dead silence in the Old Summer Palace, and they couldn't see the muzzle smoke rising anywhere.
What's going on? Where did the attack come from?
The detonation of seven M18A1 anti-infantry mines has caused at least 1,000 casualties among the British and French forces.
The Anglo-French troops in the charge had timidly slowed down and began to fight back indiscriminately.
However, they didn't know where the attack came from, and they couldn't even see a ghost shadow in the Old Summer Palace, so who did they fight back to?
Finally, the British and French troops rushed to the Glaive River outside the Xianliang Gate, and densely rushed towards the three stone bridges erected on the Glaive River.
And here, it is the death trap arranged by Ren Liang.
Here, dozens of mines are set up in high density.
One step to heaven, one step to hell, every step taken here will be lit with fireworks welcoming to death.
"Boom boom boom", several mines were detonated at the same time.
The water surface of the Glaive River was unexpectedly swept up by a powerful explosion, and the three stone bridges on the Glaive River trembled with the explosion.
The Anglo-French troops fell in pieces, stumps and severed arms flew all over the sky, blood everywhere, and the screams brought people into the Asura Hell.
The brutality of the front finally frightened the greedy soldiers, who had not even figured out what was going on, and hundreds of soldiers had lost their lives in such a daze.
The British and French soldiers who were lucky enough not to die lay on the ground and began to shoot indiscriminately at the Xianliang Gate a hundred meters away with their weapons.
Ren Liang, who was hiding in the west cover door of the Xianliang Gate, quickly glanced at the situation outside from the window, and asked Tang Dou beside him with an excited face: "My lord, the foreign devils have already flowed like a river of blood, can we fight now?" ”
Tang Dou, who was hiding at the base of the wall, looked at the refractive mirror leaning out of the window, and said to Ren Liang without turning his head: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for the foreign devils to rush onto the stone bridge, the terrain there is narrow, so that the automatic weapons in our hands can give full play to their advantages." You go to the east door to command, tell the brothers, let them be patient, wait for me to open fire before they follow the attack, don't expose the target in advance. ”
Ren Liang answered, 'Understood', and then rushed towards the east door.
Tang Dou turned his head to look at Wen Feng, who was holding AK47 against the wall like himself, and said, "Lord Wen......"
Tang Dou shouted three times in a row, and Wen Feng, who was close at hand, woke up suddenly, looked at Tang Dou and asked, "My lord, are you calling me?" ”
Tang Dou shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Forget it, it's nothing, after a while, after the fight, Master Wen must not raise his head too high, so as not to be hit by a stray bullet." ”
Wen Feng nodded vigorously: "Thank you for reminding me, the old man remembers." ”
Now there are only Wen Feng, Ren Liang and seven skilled eunuchs left in the entire Old Summer Palace, including Tang Dou, a total of ten people, Tang Dou divided these ten people into two teams, and buried them in the east and west doors of the Xianliang Gate.
This is also the last desperate arrangement before life and death, with ten people against tens of thousands of British and French troops, even if they have modern automatic weapons in their hands, it is an impossible task.
The last wish of Wen Feng Ren Liang and others is to kill one more foreign devil, so that all foreigners in the world know that Chinese cannot be bullied and Chinese cannot be humiliated. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
