122 England
After months of preparation, the British finally amassed more than half a million servant troops on their homeland. There were 100,000 British troops in command of the www.biquge.info of the British in battle, and the British accounted for a large proportion of the troops, which was quite powerful in the eyes of the British themselves.
Among them, there are also thousands of artillery pieces, and most importantly, the rainy season has passed in the British mainland. Musket artillery was once again useful—although the English musket was thought to have no bird's use other than courage and hunting.
More importantly, the British royal family and Downing Street, in order to prevent the British civil power from becoming bigger (British boxers), did not recruit patriots to participate in the final battle against the Qing army this time.
Fortunately, the British elder brother James is also a person who understands righteousness, and he did not shout the slogan of sweeping away and destroying Britain because of the precautions of the British court. James believed that the British government was doing this in a sense to protect itself. Despite the injuries on his body, he bowed in the direction of Buckingham Palace in the English Cathedral to thank the Queen of England.
At that time, the British elder brother James was injured on the battlefield, and his injuries were not well and he met the birdman in London to catch a cute little boy.
And James was very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the boxers, at that time the Qing army had already invaded London, and the boxers' families and property were in danger, of course, he could burst out with great enthusiasm to fight the enemy. And when it comes to the rainy season in London, the guns can't be used, and the melee boxers still have a slight advantage in street fighting.
But in the end, it was the officers and men of the navy who were not afraid of death to light the powder kegs one by one and die with the Qing army that they forced back the rhythm of the Qing army's siege of London.
It can be said that the two armies clashed, and the two sides lined up to fire at each other, and at such a time, the people of the boxers went to the whole chaos—the people could not have the discipline of the army. The probability of dispersing the troops on their own side is very high.
When the European Five-Nation Coalition besieged Napoleon for the second time, the British army, which had first engaged Napoleon's French army, had already shown defeat, and at this time, a small Prussian army did not know when to penetrate the battlefield and launched an attack on Napoleon's French army from the rear of the British army.
At this time, even the combined British and Prussian armies were not as numerous as the French troops. Unexpectedly, the French army suddenly collapsed after seeing this small Prussian force, and even the Emperor Napoleon himself did not save the French soldiers' determination to escape. In the end, the Emperor Napoleon had to announce his abdication again - and was finally poisoned by the British with arsenic on a desert island.
It was because of this battle that the Prussians were always very confident that the French army would win. In fact, this time it took only five weeks for Prussia to destroy France, which was almost the same as the time it took for the Prussian army to march, and the Prussians did not fight any decent battles during the entire destruction of France - because the opponents were completely ineffective. The Prussians, and now the Germans, laugh at the French, and say: "Mr. Five Weeks."
In view of this, James also felt that this was the time for the British army to contribute, and as for the British people, it was good to watch the play.
In other words, the people of London just watched the play, and at this time the people in many parts of Britain were in dire straits under the rule of the Qing army.
After gaining a firm foothold in the British mainland, the marshal Linkui asked the various units of the Qing army to go out and fight the grass valley - robbing people, grain, and livestock. As for the British army that followed outside, Lin Kui had already seen through the reality and didn't dare to fight at all - just like the Qing army followed the troops of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom back then, using the tailgating tactics of not fighting, defending, and not routing. At least there will be no fault in doing so, anyway, there will be unlucky people who will go up and eat a defeat to attract the attention of the court.
Leave 10,000 people in the camp casually, and those British troops will not dare to move.
In fact, the commander of the British Army wanted to attack the Qing army and leave some merits for himself, but the British Army under his command participated in the defense of London. I was already frightened by the combat effectiveness of the Qing soldiers, and when I heard that the Qing army was going to take the initiative to attack, I shook my head and shouted "NO!"
In the face of the surging soldiers, the British commander had no choice but to hope that the colonial troops would have more combat effectiveness and offensive spirit.
In the past, the colonies were second-class citizens, but this time the British released the immigration quota and played the slogan "You also have the opportunity to be British" to stimulate the offensive spirit of the colonial troops.
The British also understood the reason for their vigorous efforts, and after the 500,000 servant troops of the colony and 100,000 British troops were assembled, they immediately launched a general attack on the Qing army's garrison in the last battle of the Qing army.
According to the report, 600,000 British troops attacked like a tide, and Deputy Marshal Ruilin couldn't sit still: "Big brother, this time the British are menacing, I'm afraid that the comer is not good." ”
Lin Kui, the commander of the Qing army: "I'm afraid that the Englishman is a silver-like pewter spearhead, and he won't be able to use it." What, you're scared? ”
Ruilin couldn't shrink at this time: "I'm afraid of a ball, people die and birds are facing the sky, and they won't die for thousands of years." I Ruilin received the favor of the first emperor, and on the day the first emperor died, I Ruilin was already dead. What is left here today is the living dead that I, Ruilin, want to avenge the first emperor. ”
Lin Kui: "Just have your words. Now we have 50,000 people in our hands. ”
Ruilin looked embarrassed: "Yes, yes, but where can the British Eight Banners be trusted." ”
Lin Kui: "It's okay, Zhuge Liang straw people can still borrow arrows, not to mention 50,000 living people, besides, they all have the blood of the British on their hands, and they can't turn back." In this battle, each of the armored athletes in the battalion brought one, and those who had meritorious service were rewarded with a pair of iron armor. Take it one level. ”
Ruilin: "It's still the eldest brother who has a way." ”
Lin Kui: "Pass my order, and the whole army will attack." Artillery Bureau. ”
Ruilin: "Attacking? ”
Lin Kui: "The enemy is outnumbered, so I have to attack, otherwise I will be surrounded by groups, and there will be no food and grass inside and no rescuers outside, then it will be a Jedi." ”
Ruilin: "Ruilin is willing to be a pioneer. ”
Lin Kui: "That's not necessary, you give me a good look at the camp, it's a great achievement." I don't have many soldiers for you. ”
Ruilin: "Eight thousand soldiers and horses are enough. ”
Lin Kui: "Okay, I'll give you 8,000 soldiers and horses." There are also 10,000 British Eight Banners. If this camp is lost, I will only ask you. ”
In this Qing army, there were not only grain and grass baggage, but also the harvest of grass and grain in the past few months—some fine products were carried away by the Japanese airships that arrived at night, but there were still more than 100,000 washerwomen and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep, mules and horses.
