Chapter 668: Chen Qimei rescues the driver
Zhang Yi led his army into the pass, and Kyushu shook 'Dang'; in sharp contrast, the two palaces of the Qing Dynasty were in a panic and looked around at a loss. [Ran^Text^Library] []. [774] [buy]. Access:.
Today's Empress Dowager Cixi and Guangxu under the protection of the important ministers of the imperial court, all the way to the south, the Boxer Rebellion on the road is everywhere, has stirred up the entire Zhili to the "chicken" dog restless, in one day, the team was even hit by the Boxer Rebellion "chaos" people two or three times, trying to rob the property and food, Rong Lu did not dare to leave Cixi half a step, the outside of the matter is only maintained by Dong Fuxiang's encouragement, the old general who is nearly seventy years old, led the armed guards to desperately disperse the "chaos" people, to maintain the safety of the team.
Today's Cixi is dressed in gray and blue linen clothes, not to mention a crown on her head, not even a piece of jewelry, she is completely an old lady in the countryside, there is no way, the queen mother's appearance is too eye-catching, once recognized, it is difficult for the more than 1,000 military guards here to protect it thoroughly.
Even so, they still did not escape, after the Eight-Nation Coalition captured the city of Beijing, they immediately sent several detachments to search for the whereabouts of Cixi and Guangxu, trying to capture the two palaces directly, so that everything would be easy.
I really didn't take out Wadsey's calculations, Cixi's people and ministers had just passed Yi County, and there were still more than a hundred miles away from Baoding Mansion, when they were caught up by a team of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and a coalition army of three or four hundred people only caught up.
Cixi, who got Dong Fuxiang's performance, is now so frightened that she has no pulse, what should I do, there are no reinforcements here! It's still far from Baoding Mansion?
Cixi said tremblingly
Said: "Rong Lu, Dong Fuxiang, what should I do now?" ”
Dong Fuxiang gritted his teeth and said: "Lafayette, now you can only lead a team to deal with them and drag them down, you and the emperor are under the protection of Lord Ronglu, hurry south, as long as we arrive in Baoding, we will be safe!" ”
Dong Fuxiang said to Rong Lu: "Lord Rong Lu, I will take six hundred people to block the coalition army first, you lead the rest of the people to hurry up, I think we can't support it for too long, our morale is too poor, and the military quality is too far from the foreigners, go quickly, the lower officials will die behind, and they will definitely not let the foreigners get close to half a step!" ”
Dong Fuxiang turned around and walked down, Rong Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Lafayette has no other way now but to speed up." ”
Under the protection of everyone, Cixi and many courtiers began to flee towards Baoding Mansion even more embarrassed.
Later, Dong Fuxiang had already led the army to stand with the Eight-Nation Alliance.
The Eight-Nation Alliance, which is only three or four hundred people, relies on the superiority of firepower and superhuman military quality, and the Qing army has no power to parry at all, even if Dong Fuxiang has been on the battlefield for a long time, there is no good way now, no matter how powerful he is, now he is leading a group of sheep to win the Qing army, how can he stop the foreign devils who are like wolves and tigers?
In just one hour, the Qing army of 600 people has already suffered 200 casualties, and dozens of people have deserted, and now the coalition army is 'pressing' step by step, and it is only a few steps away from the position of the Qing army.
Dong Fuxiang looked at the coalition forces that were getting closer and closer, and sighed in vain, and commanded the Qing army to resist desperately.
At this time, Cixi with
Guangxu only ran out for ten miles, and most of the hundreds of people plus the courtiers were old and couldn't stand the long way to run 'waves', and each of them was haggard.
When Rong Lu was anxious, a stream of dust flew directly in front of him, and the neighing of a war horse came from afar!
Rong Lu's heart was shocked, he didn't know which side the person in front of him was, if it was the cavalry of the Eight-Nation Alliance, then he could only kill these people.
In just two or three minutes, the distant team had already arrived in front of him, this was a team of about four or five hundred people, and one of the leaders shouted: "Ahead, but the holy car of the two palaces, sent by Yuan Weiting, the governor of Xiafeng, rushed to the rescue!" ”
Hearing such news, Rong Lu was so happy that he almost fell off his horse, and shouted: "This official is Rong Lu, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and behind him is Lafayette and the emperor's holy car, which adult are you?" ”
The leader was still twenty or thirty meters away from Rong Lu, forcefully took out the reins of the horse, jumped down, knelt on one knee, and replied: "Lord Ronglu, the lower official is the guerrilla general Chen Qimei under Lord Yuan, my family comforts the commander who is far away in Liangguang, and he can't go north, so he is worried about the safety of the two palaces, so he specially sent the lower official to Baoding to protect the holy car!" ”
Rong Lu hurriedly jumped down from the war horse, picked up Chen Qimei, tears and "flowers" appeared in his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, good, comfort pavilion, or the center of the comfort pavilion, hurry up and follow me to see the Queen Mother Lafayette!" ”
Rong Lu took Chen Qimei to Cixi's car and shouted: "Lafayette, Lafayette, Yuan Weiting has sent reinforcements, we are saved!" ”
The curtain of the car's 'door' was immediately lifted, and Cixi was 'exposed'
turned his head and said: "Rong Lu, this is true, Yuan Weiting sent troops?" ”
Chen Qimei hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lafayette, Weichen Beiyang guerrilla general Chen Qimei was sent by the governor of my family to pick up Lafayette going south!" ”
Cixi's face was 'excited', and she said again and again: "Okay! Yuan Weiting is loyal and commendable, Chen Qimei is loyal and brave to the country, they are all loyal ministers, pass the decree, add Chen Qimei to be brave and brave Baturu, and seal the general army of Guangzhou Town! ”
Rong Lu replied: "Lafayette, now that Lord Dong in the back is afraid that he can't support it anymore, what do you think we should do?" ”
Cixi replied: "Hurry up, speed up, go as fast as you can!" ”
Chen Qimei on the side replied: "Back to Lafayette, although Chen Qimei brought not many troops this time, they are all men with one top and one top, just go to defeat the pursuit of foreigners, otherwise, I am afraid that it will not take long for them to catch up with us, and wait for the ministers to repel them, and it is not too late to go!" ”
Cixi asked: "Chen Qimei, are you confident that you can defeat the foreign soldiers behind?" ”
Chen Qimei looked at Rong Lu and asked, "Lord Rong Lu, how many foreign devils are there behind?" ”
Rong Lu replied: "According to Lord Dong Fuxiang's report, there are about 400 foreigners, and their combat strength is strong. ”
Chen Qimei smiled proudly and said: "Lord Ronglu, there are only four hundred countries in the alliance, there is nothing to be afraid of, Qimei will lead the brothers under his command to meet and merge with Lord Dong, within an hour, it will definitely defeat the coalition army for Lafayette and the emperor, and let Lafayette and the emperor see how powerful our Qing army is and how majestic the new army trained by Lord Yuan is!" ”
Rong Lu groaned for a moment and said, "Lafayette, since this is the case,
Let Chen Qimei go to pick it up, I am guarding here, and there will be no danger for the time being, otherwise it will be chased by foreigners, and there will be a fierce battle! Cixi hurriedly said: "Okay, Ronglu, this matter will be handled by you!" Hearing this, Chen Qimei bowed and saluted, turned around and went down, ready to fight!
