The dense gunfire only lasted for a short time, and it is estimated that when the gunfire stopped, the commander of the army, Chunyou, had just run to the palace gate. Although there was also the sound of gunfire later, it was much more sparse. Su Shun, who had mixed with the people, had an illusion that the sound of guns and cannons in the later years was very consistent with the sound of whips driving sheep.

The ministers persuaded Xianfeng for a long time in the sound of guns, but Xianfeng refused to leave, until finally the ministers knelt around Xianfeng like a dead country, crying and begging, Xianfeng was relieved. However, Xianfeng's destination was not Beijing, but Shengjing, and he was going to worship Fuling and Zhaoling.

However, the ministers have not relaxed their breath, but Chunyou has returned, and he has brought a disgraced man with him. Looking at Chunyou's dead father's expression, coupled with the mud on the young officer he brought, everyone knew what was going on.

"The slave Chunyou is incompetent, and he will die before he is here!" Chunyou knelt when he entered the door, and cried when he knelt down, and the embarrassed young military attache followed behind him, silent.

"Defeated so quickly, where did Goxinga go?" When Guo Xing'a could come in at any time, Xianfeng was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Chunyou.

"Guoxing's troops have taken control of a col in the Hammer Peak, and the main force has retreated to the camp!" Chunyou had the heart to cry for a while, but he didn't dare to let Xianfeng worry too much.

"Oh!" Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

"How's the killing on both sides?" Since Guo Xing'a retreated, Xianfeng took it for granted that Chunyou was just frustrated.

"Back to Long Live Lord, the rebel thief suddenly launched a fierce attack, and all the departments were defeated, so the rebel party was almost unharmed. However, although the artillery fire of the rebels is fierce, our army has the blessing of Long Live Lord, and the casualties are less than 30 people, and now retreat to the nearby valley to reorganize the army to prepare for another battle! Chunyou told the truth, but he was too bureaucratic and used too much high-sounding rhetoric, which led to a lot of ambiguity in this sentence.

"Good, good!" Xianfeng thought that Chunyou had been defeated, but in fact it was only a small setback, and he immediately praised it again and again.

"Chunyou, you have made it clear, where is the valley where the officers and soldiers of the various ministries rest, and where is the mountain col controlled by Guoxing'a?" Su Shun heard that something was wrong.

If it was really a small defeat with more than 30 dead and injured people, would Chunyou cry like a dead father as soon as he entered the door? Moreover, the army of 20,000 people only died more than 30 people. Chunyou, as the commander of the first army, has a new defeat in the army, why is he not in the army, and what is he doing when he comes back. The young military attache brought by Chunyou is even more suspicious, the trivial matter of more than 30 people killed and injured, how can he be so miserable as an officer. Although the words col and valley are different, they have similar meanings.

"Su Zhongtang, why do you knowingly ask, I didn't return to the army, doesn't it explain everything." Chunyou doesn't want to be smooth, this Manchurian public enemy likes to make trouble too much.

"Why are you so vague?" If Su Shun hadn't recovered from his legs, he would have wanted to go up and slap Chunyou twice.

"It's just a matter of consolation!" Chunyou's head drooped all of a sudden.

"Say, what is the situation of the army?" Su Shun didn't talk nonsense with Chunyou anymore, and asked the young military attache directly.

The rebels drove the army into the valley with artillery, and then they sealed it down. Except for the 300 or so people under the command of the minions, the 20,000 army was all trapped in the valley by the traitors! The young military attache was a little imminent, and respectfully kowtowed to Xianfeng, and then said plainly an answer that everyone could not accept.

"How so, how so? Who are you, what position are you, you tell me, what the hell is going on! Xianfeng jumped up directly from the dragon chair, this news was more surprising and exciting than the defeat of Monk Greenqin at Bali Bridge, and the fragile Xianfeng couldn't bear it anymore.

"Slave Divine Aircraft Battalion Wing Commander Ronglu, respectfully Saint Ann! After Chunyou Junmen left...... "Rong Lu first saluted Xianfeng respectfully, and then told the cause and effect of the army being trapped.

After Chunyou left, the Gu'an army did not move, and the two sides watched with such big eyes, they could have been safe. However, the poor flag soldiers outside the Guan, who were bent on making meritorious contributions, were not willing to be lonely, and although they did not dare to approach the defense line of the Gu'an Army anymore, they played harassment. One time it was the throwing of bows and arrows, the other time it was pretending to charge suddenly, and they had a lot of fun, and no one could care about them. But after they played for a long time, the Gu'an army stopped doing it and began to pay tribute to them, but the effect on both sides was completely different.

The Gu'an army mobilized a large number of artillery behind the defensive line and began to fire at the open space near the imperial army. The dense large-caliber high-explosive shells let these guys who have never seen the market experience the feeling of the end of the world. The fiery snakes spit out by the Gatling guns also circled above them, sweeping off the thick trees one by one in front of them.

While the army was so frightened that they craned their necks like pestilence, the cannonballs slowly began to approach them. The morale of the army, which had no commander in charge and had never seen such a terrifying scene, began to collapse in an all-round way. The fugitives were divided from soldiers to colonels, and finally the hall was scattered, and everyone fled like rabbits chased by dogs. But the Gu'an army was not ready to let them go, and the shells were everywhere, constantly exploding on both sides of them, as if they were deliberately driving them. As soon as someone deviated slightly from the route set by the Gu'an army, there would be artillery shells to greet and drive the people back. In the end, it turned out that the Gu'an army was indeed driving them, and the army was driven to a col under the Hammer Peak. Rong Lu saw through the purpose of the Gu'an army, and at the moment before entering the mountain pass, he ran out with his subordinates under artillery fire, and the so-called more than 30 people who were killed and wounded were all his subordinates.

As soon as Rong Lu fled, the infantry of the Gu'an Army sealed the mountain pass and set up machine guns on the commanding heights, which seemed to be able to fire bullets endlessly. The Gu'an army used it to deter the trapped army, and shot a demarcation line on the ground with bullets, truly drawing the ground as a prison. The so-called trapped army is nothing more than a group of prisoners of war with weapons, and the Gu'an army can kill them all at any time, and they have no ability to fight back at all. The mountain col in Chunyou's mouth is just a prisoner of war camp.

The Gu'an army completed an extremely difficult maneuver, using only weapons to intimidate, and locked up 20,000 troops. This was originally impossible, but because of the unintentional help of the miscellaneous department, this difficult action became a reality. Because in the 20,000 army, except for the banner soldiers from outside the Guan, almost everyone is extremely afraid of Guoxinga. It was this fear that made them disperse in an instant, and many of the unorganized flag soldiers outside the Guanwai were actually dispersed by these fearful people.

The reason why these people are so afraid of Guoxinga stems from the previous behavior of the miscellaneous affairs department to fight for Guoxing's merits. A long time ago, there were still some weak Guoxinga, in order to be able to gain greater power and space, once frantically declared his military exploits, in order to attract the attention of the imperial court. Because it could not be done directly to the imperial court, the miscellaneous affairs department chose to build momentum among the people first, and then achieve the purpose of attracting the attention of public opinion. Because there is no such thing as newspapers, the best medium for the people to build momentum has become a song, and the bookstore and the theater have become the best battlefields. Goxinga's various military exploits and stories have been compiled into commentaries and operas, which have been wildly disseminated among the people, winning a very good foundation of public opinion for Goxinga. And this kind of momentum building behavior has the effect of mythical Guoxinga, and at the same time, it can also maintain the internal unity of the Gu'an Army, so it has been insisted on by the Miscellaneous Affairs Section.

Because of the insistence of the miscellaneous affairs department, various legendary stories such as the surprise attack on Hexi Affairs, the blood sprinkled on Yang Village, the night attack on the army grain city, the night ambush of the British army, the battle of Bali Bridge, the battle of the Old Summer Palace, and the bloody battle of Andingmen were widely spread among the people. Storytellers and famous singers naturally won't broadcast the battle of the Gu'an Army live like a live broadcast, and they don't know how the battle was fought after all. Therefore, in the mouth of storytellers who are good at the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is Guoxing's team that hammers and shocks Montauban like Li Yuanba, and the team that is good at Journey to the West can play Guoxing's big trouble, and of course, there are various versions such as "Romance of the Gods", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Swordsman", "Three Words and Two Beats" and so on. And these things precisely enrich the amateur cultural life of officers and men. Except for the poor flag soldiers outside the gate, everyone else listened to the magical story of Guoxinga almost every day.

In the eyes of these officers and soldiers, Guo Xing'a is a goblin with three heads and six arms, Li Yuanba who can't be killed by anyone except God, the reincarnation of an immortal who flies to the sky, or a hero with strong martial arts, how can they not be afraid of ordinary people. Again there was such a frightening fire as if it was about to destroy the world, and the officers and men naturally obediently took their weapons and entered the prisoner of war camp.

"Impossible, impossible, I've seen their artillery, although it is very powerful, but it is by no means as amazing as you say." Xianfeng trembled again and again, and he didn't know whether he was scared or angry.

"Back to the emperor, the slave did not dare to deceive the emperor, and what the slave said was seen with his own eyes. The rebel artillery is extremely fast, falling with the sound of wind and thunder, the projectile reaches the ground and explodes, the grass, wood, earth and stone in the 30 battles are all powder, and the people and animals within 50 zhang are all killed immediately. The projectile explosion is like a hurricane, and people and animals are flying like dead leaves, even if they are hundreds of feet away, they can also feel the wind hitting their faces, and the pain is like a knife. If it is reversed, it is the cannon of the emperor's imperial view, I am afraid that he deliberately showed weakness after hiding his private interests! "Rong Lu is really not an ordinary military attaché, not only is he bold, but he also speaks in a crepe. Talking eloquently in front of the emperor, he has the bearing of a famous minister.

"How good is it that the great army is in the hands of traitors!" Xianfeng regretted it a little, he should have slipped away immediately just now, and now he can't run if he wants to.

"Goxinga's artillery deliberately fired at the open space where no one was around, and after trapping the army, they took the initiative to retreat, and did not continue to march in an attempt to commit a crime?" Su Shun didn't lament like Xianfeng and the ministers, he found something unusual.

"Bastard, at this time, you still want to exonerate Guoxinga!" Su Shun's calmness did not win Xianfeng's praise, but angered Xianfeng.

"Please calm the emperor's anger, the slave is in front of the formation, and he also has the same feeling as this adult. Although he was rebellious, he still seemed to be in awe of the emperor. His marches were extremely cautious, and his soldiers were very restrained, otherwise it would be only a matter of time before he could slaughter the army with the power of his troops. His subordinates seem to be seeking self-preservation, and have no intention of committing rebellion, and they have been trying to protect the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. Rong Lu said a long time without knowing whether he was alive or dead, and he didn't care about Xianfeng's expression like he wanted to eat people. His status is low, and he doesn't even know Su Shun, but he is like a court zaifu, and his bearing is far better than Duanhua and others.

"What is he for?" Xianfeng was said by Rong Lu and actually calmed down.

"Guoxing Ah is already disobedient to the emperor's will, but he has retreated everywhere, which is really unbelievable and incomprehensible!" Duanhua is the first assistant but can only talk nonsense, but it is true that everyone does not know what Guo Xing'a thinks.

"For today's plan, only by sending a person as an envoy to the Guoxing army to interview him can we know his intentions!" Duhan made a practical suggestion.

"The slave is willing to serve the emperor!" Rong Lu is jumping tightly.

"The people I sent to summon Guoxing'a before were blocked by him and were not allowed to enter, and the guards who went to deliver the edict to his subordinates are also gone, so what's the use of sending people again!" Xianfeng didn't bother Rong Lu, and seemed to want to protect him.

"The imperial guards and others are just microphones, and they can't talk to Guo Xing'a in detail at all, the emperor should choose an important minister who has friendship with Guo Xing'a, and Guo Xing'a will definitely not avoid it!" Su Shun regretted it after speaking, and secretly hated himself for his quick mouth. His idea is reliable, but he is the only one who has a relationship with Guoxing'a among the important ministers, and he is in a place of suspicion, isn't this looking for death?

"You still have to give your fifth brother a message!" Su Shun really exchanged Xianfeng's angry scolding.

"Your Majesty, let the concubines go! It is appropriate for the concubine to have relatives with Guoxing, and she is also the emperor's concubine, and Guoxinga will definitely meet the concubine. Concubine Yi came out from behind again.

"You?" Xianfeng was a little reluctant, he was not worried about Concubine Yi, but he was afraid of danger. After all, Su Shun is a minister, and he also has a good relationship with Guoxing, so there is a possibility of betrayal. But Concubine Yi is her wife, she is nothing without herself, she can't marry Guoxing again! Moreover, Concubine Yi is the biological mother of her only son, and preserving herself is equivalent to preserving her son's throne, and she must be absolutely loyal to herself.

"The emperor can rest assured, Guoxing Ah has always been known as a hero in the world, no matter what happens, he will not be embarrassed to be a concubine. Moreover, the concubine is his clan relative and his sister, and it is more convenient for him to say some things to the concubine. Concubine Yi pleaded again.

"Okay!" Xianfeng also had no choice, although it was a little embarrassing, but he could only let his daughter-in-law go into battle.

"The slave is willing to escort Concubine Yi!" Rong Lu will never let go of any opportunity.

"Well, it's hard to be faithful to you!" Xianfeng nodded to Rong Lu and was quite approving, if it wasn't for the fact that the situation was too bad, it was estimated that Rong Lu would have been promoted.

When Xianfeng sighed, Guo Xing'a was not much better than him, and in order to deal with the aftermath, Guo Xing's house also made a noise.
