Chapter 108: Capsizing in the Gutter

Dou Nale's banquet did not go well, which annoyed him. First, Lieutenant General Yamaguchi Suseni of the Japanese Army left suddenly, and then Allied Commander Alekseev was not ashamed to speak on the stage, and his speech captured the attention of the entire banquet in one fell swoop. Then, the whole city of Beijing suddenly shook. Countless cannonballs shouted and killed.

"What the hell is going on?" Dou Nale asked the adjutant angrily. He knew what the coalition forces were doing in the inner city of Beijing, and he knew what kind of disaster these big-headed soldiers would cause if they were announced. But he had no choice but to acquiesce, because he was just a small minister to China. The army would not and could not listen to him, which gave him a feeling that the situation was out of control.

Dou Nale was happy and took the initiative to create an incident for the Allied forces to occupy the city of Beijing, because Beijing was the capital of the Manchus, and once it was captured, the British could force the Manchus to sign a number of "friendship agreements" with the might of the empire on which the sun never sets. The big capitalists in Britain had long been eyeing the Manchu mainland market.

"Why do you want to shoot?" If you kill someone, you will kill someone, and if you force a woman, you will do it, what kind of cannon will you fire? Didn't you know that the cannon would destroy the city of Beijing and arouse the disgust of the Qing people? The Sun Never Sets Empire has fallen into the quagmire of the Moors, is it still going to fall into the swamp of the Qing people?

"Your Excellency, our artillerymen did not enter the city at all, as you ordered, and the generals of all countries are now at the banquet. Without a military order, it is impossible for the artillery outside the city to open fire! I think it may be the Qing army in the city firing artillery! "The adjutant is a military attaché, and when you think about it, you understand the point.

"Qing army? Didn't the Qing army all be driven out of the city at noon? Aren't there more than 10,000 coalition troops chasing outside? How could the Qing army be able to attack it? Dou Nale did not believe that the fleeing Wuwei army had the courage to attack the city of Beijing, which was garrisoned by more than 50,000 allied troops, although most of the more than 50,000 people ran to loot. Moreover, according to the battle report of the coalition army, among the several commanders of the Armed Guards, Nie Shicheng has been captured, Ma Yukun has been seriously injured and fled, Dong Fuxiang has been captured, Zhao Sanduo and other Boxers have also died and fled. Where else is there a formed army?

"Nope! There was also a new army outside the city. The adjutant reminded.

Dou Nale looked at the chaotic banquet hall with a blue face, the commander of the coalition forces, Alekseev, was being protected by two colonels and running out of the door, and the American general Wilson was running faster than a rabbit. He rushed out of the gate not long after the shelling began. And the other gentlemen and ladies are like the end of the world at this moment, one moment they are still talking about adultery and passion, and the next moment they do not hesitate to kick anyone in their way. A swarm of swarms rushed to the gate.

Is this still a gentleman of the civilized world of Europe? Dou Nale saw a personable young gentleman step on a fallen lady and gallop away. After that, countless pairs of leather boots also stepped on the lady without hesitation, and soon the lady rolled her eyes, only the breath that came out, not the breath that entered.

“shit!” For the first time, Dou Nale became suspicious of his country's so-called elites. Just by relying on such a "gentleman" to be able to rule the empire on which the sun never sets?

"Danger! Get down! The adjutant next to him suddenly shouted and pushed Dou Nale away.

Dou Nale was pushed away with a blank face, he turned around, and seemed to hear a loud noise, and the ceiling chandelier above his head suddenly fell and smashed on the adjutant's body. The adjutant struggled a few times before remaining motionless.

Dou Nale got up in fear, and he saw that red and white had become the dominant colors in the banquet hall, and at least a dozen people had died on the way to escape. He was trampled to death, pushed and fell to his death, and was crushed to death by the chandelier overhead. None of them seem to have been killed by shells and bullets.

He walked out of the empty door. There was chaos outside. Roars, footsteps, bullets, and cannonballs poured into the eardrums in an instant.

"Your Excellency, it's great to find you." A man who appeared to be a major came up to him with an excited look on his face.

"Major, what's the matter?" Dou Nale felt as if his voice was coming from the eighteenth layer of hell.

"Your Excellency, there are airships dropping bombs in the sky, and there is a Qing army outside that has broken into the city and caused serious chaos, and we can't find out where our soldiers are now."

The major's voice was drowned out by a roar.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Will we hold on or break through! ”

This time, Dou Nale heard clearly, and his sanity returned to normal.

"Breakout? This is the embassy, how can I escape? We have diplomatic immunity! Dou Nale jumped up excitedly.

"Hold on?" The major smiled bitterly, if it was a day ago, of course he would be willing to hold on. The problem was that in the afternoon, several soldiers guarding the embassy went out with the army to rob and robbed a large number of antique gold and silver, causing a sensation when they returned. Most of the soldiers of the embassy ran out and looted. And those who were forced to stay by the major were also cold to the major, if it were not for the major's rank, I am afraid that these soldiers who stayed behind would have the threat of rebellion. With the twenty or thirty soldiers left, the embassy could be kept safe in normal times, but now there is chaos everywhere, and no one knows when a chaotic army will storm the embassy.

"We don't have enough soldiers. Your Excellency, give the order to break out. The Major urged.

"No way!" As soon as Dou Nale thought about the consequences of the breakthrough, he felt chills all over his body. The idea that the coalition army should enter the city was put forward by him, and he also acquiesced in the fact that the coalition army burned and looted in the city, and if he escaped at this time, once the matter was settled, he would definitely be accused of being a coward, and he would become the laughing stock of the London drinking party. In the future, his political career will also end early.

"We have to stick to it. We are in the embassy, and the embassy staff has diplomatic immunity! They did not dare to storm in. Dou Nale said firmly.

"Your Excellency!" The major looked at the soldiers who were guarding. The lobster soldiers, who usually have their eyes above the top, are now all shrinking their heads and feet, eager to shrink their bodies into the crotch of their pants.

Lobster soldiers are not afraid of fighting, but they are powerless in the face of airships that cannot attack in the sky. Although the airship is bombing not far away, and the bombs have not yet fallen here, who knows when those bombs will be dropped on their heads?

"Your Excellency! It's night! It is impossible for anyone on the airship to know that this is an embassy! All they have to do is shake their hands, and we'll all be blown up here! "The Major makes a final effort.

"There is still hope for a breakthrough, even if the airship doesn't bomb us. When the shelling stops, the ground forces will attack! The Boxers didn't know anything about diplomatic immunity! ”

"Nope! Major! I'm not leaving. Dou Nale finished and re-entered the door.

“shit! Hasn't the herald who went to contact the Army come back yet? The Major asked with a blushing face.

An old soldier shook his head: "Major, it's messy outside right now. I just saw dozens of Qing people with guns passing by in front of the door. Maybe the herald is dead on the road. ”

The herald fell to the ground. Battalion Commander Lu Shaorong put away his Mauser rifle.

"Keep going!" He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky. Then bring the watch in front of you.

"What the hell is going on? Are airshipmen all fools? Just bomb for a while and you can come down with a machine gun! If you blow it up like this, don't you need money for the bomb? It's so bad that we have to take a detour! ”

Cheng Biguang was also angry, although the training of the airship night battle had been experienced many times. Now I still can't coordinate. He lifted his watch and looked at the time. Fifteen minutes have passed since the airship bombing.

"What's going on? Why haven't the special forces on the ground led the next wave of targets? ”

"There are always all sorts of inexplicable encounters at night." The adjutant replied.

Yes. Inexplicable encounter. Yang Huai was secretly sighing unlucky. He was on his way to the next wave of target guidance points, but the shock of the airship bombing caused several broken tiles to fall from the house on the side of the road, smashing him and his companions into a bloody outlet. His companion is still unconscious.

"It's really unlucky, I didn't die on the battlefield, but I may die on the way to the mission." Yang Huai carried his companion behind his back to find a medicine shop.

"Fortunately, there is a backup plan that will not affect the mission. Otherwise, we will be really unlucky. Dude, if we go back this time, we will definitely become a laughing stock. Yang Huai looked at the shop, took out a short knife from his calf, and easily opened the door of the shop.

Pushing open a small crack in the door, he looked inside in the moonlight. There doesn't seem to be any movement. So he dropped his companion and flashed in gently.

Yang Huai never felt as unlucky as he did today. When he got used to the darkness, he squatted down and observed slightly when he heard a gust of wind.

Stick! Overhead! It's a man! I'm a little old and I don't have enough strength!

Yang Huai pounced lightly and knocked down the old man, who might be a doctor. The stick fell to the ground. A ding-dong muffled another sound. Wait for Yang Huai to realize. Another stick had already hit the top of the head.

Damn! Careless! Then he just felt stars in his eyes.

He quickly rolled on the ground and then touched the stick that had fallen on the ground and slammed it across his head. Sure enough, a strong force passed from another stick to the stick in his hand.

This is a young man with a bit of strength. Although the mind is still a little dizzy. He was still quick to figure it out. Before he could react, the young man kicked him in the chest.

Mom's. Capsizing in the gutter wow! Yang Huai, who fell to the ground, yelled in his heart before being knocked unconscious by a stick. Sorry, man. It's not that I don't want to save you, but I can't protect myself.
