With Ma Yukun and the banner of the Wuyou Army in charge, the scattered Wuyou soldiers continued to gather at Zhengyangmen, which also made the number of soldiers under Hu Xiaoyan gradually abundant. So he didn't pay any more attention to the Eight-Nation Coalition in the inner city.

Hu Xiaoyan paid attention to the changes in the map in his mind every moment, and then informed Ma Yukun and Wang Tingjiao of the movements of the coalition forces. If the Japanese still run away in this way, it can only be that Ma Yukun and Wang Tingjiao's abilities are problematic.

Ma Yukun is an old man, although his reputation is not as good as that of Nie Shicheng and Yuan Shikai's new army commanders. But that is a non-war crime. Now he controls the strongest artillery and airship units under Hu Xiaoyan, as well as more than 2,000 Maxine machine guns, as well as 1,500 pseudo-special forces and more than 100 regular special forces. The total number of soldiers in the Forces nouvelles now exceeds 20,000. It is impossible for such a strong strength to fail to take down the coalition forces in the inner city. The question is only how much to destroy the Inner City Alliance.

Like blowing up the Forbidden City? Or was everything but the Forbidden City destroyed by artillery fire? Or how many of the Manchurians and eunuchs and maids in the inner city died?

Hu Xiaoyan bears these costs. I'm afraid that Ma Yukun can't afford it, but Hu Xiaoyan can't do anything! It is impossible for him to give an explicit order to tell Ma Yukun that he can do whatever it takes to destroy the Inner City Alliance, and even if he gives such an order, Ma Yukun will probably not accept it. Ma Yukun is not Nie Shicheng. Nie Shicheng is a Huaijun, and with the relationship between Hu Xiaoyan and Li Hongzhang, a telegram can make Nie Shicheng obediently obey orders. But Ma Yukun can't. Li Hongzhang's telegram could not control him, he was a standard old-style military model, and he would only listen to the orders of the Manchu military aircraft department. Although sometimes Ma Yukun will play tricks, but in the face of great rights and wrongs, this little old man will not be confused.

This made Hu Xiaoyan helpless! In fact, what he hoped to find was Nie Shicheng. But God doesn't give face.

At the temporary headquarters in the outer city, Hu Xiaoyan waited for the results of the wireless telegraphy. Today, every unit in the nine gates of the inner city has deployed a wireless transmitter (which is the result of Tesla). Every move is under his control. Before Ma Yukun came, he had to order every move of the troops. After Ma Yukun came, he handed over the authority to Ma Yukun, and he himself only maintained an understanding of the offensive of the troops. He didn't want to get involved in the process.

There is nothing remarkable about things in the world, but what I am most afraid of is that laymen lead insiders. Hu Xiaoyan is very self-aware.

"The British, French, and Russian forces began to break through in the direction of Andingmen half an hour after the Japanese attack, but were blocked back by Lieutenant Li Zejun."

"Captain Wang Tingjiao is making good progress, he has already captured half of the Forbidden City, and there is a clash with the coalition forces in the city. There is currently a truce and the captain awaits further instructions. ”

Wang Tingjiao was afraid that the war would destroy the Forbidden City, and Ma Yukun also asked Wang Tingjiao to stop the attack because of this, and he sent an envoy to persuade the British and French forces to surrender.

"The Japanese offensive was fierce, and Lieutenant Zhang Hongkui couldn't resist it, and now he is retreating to the first line of defense outside the city gate."

Zhang Hongkui only had 500 new troops, although the firepower was very fierce, but unfortunately the number was too small, and there were no fortifications! After all, the Japanese army attacked from the inside out, and the city walls could only prevent attacks from the outside in.

Moreover, the Japanese army launched a decisive charge at all costs, and Zhang Hongkui was able to block it for half an hour.

"Lieutenant Zhang Hongkui was wounded and fainted, and more than 400 of the 500 defenders of Deshengmen were killed, and only 72 escaped. The Japanese army is attacking the first line of defense, and Second Lieutenant Wang Xu is directing the defense. Second Lieutenant Wang Xu requested support from the officers. ”

Wang Xu is just a first-class soldier, he is the son of the Anhui Shi clan, so after the conflict between the Shi clan and Hu Xiaoyan, he was forcibly arrested by Hu Xiaoyan and put into the army. Since then, this kid has been brainwashed by Hu Xiaoyan's endless revolutionary theories, and has completely become a fan of Hu Xiaoyan. Because he was literate and open-minded, he was eventually selected to serve as an instructor in the army. However, his own military literacy can only be a first-class soldier, not the commander of a regiment. It was only then that he was very self-aware to ask the officer to go and take over the command.

"Inform Ma Dashuai, you can consider Lieutenant Zhang Shaozeng." Hu Xiaoyan thought about it and then notified the herald.

Zhang Shaozeng is currently sitting in Zhengyangmen instead of Wang Tingjiao, but Zhengyangmen's military strength is the strongest, and there is no enemy attack, so it is the safest. And Ma Yukun is now sitting in Zhengyangmen, and Zhang Shaozeng can only play a role in communication. Ma Yukun was not familiar with the officers of the Anhui New Army, and someone had to brief him on the situation.
