Chapter 111: Ma Dashuai
Xu Chi and Yang Huai were stunned, there is a patient who wants to see us?
They are special forces, and the information is completely classified. With the exception of members and instructors of the special forces, few people know who they are. What the hell is this patient who wants to see us?
The two of them are not rookies, Yang Huai was reluctant to shoot before, because he knew that the people in the house were just ordinary people, and he was unwilling to kill innocents indiscriminately. But to think that he won't kill would be a big mistake.
"Oh, then we're going to meet this patient!" Xu Chi and Yang Huai walked into the room with smiles on their faces.
"Humph!" The boy picked up the kerosene lamp, and the old man closed the door.
The four of them walked together to the back room. The house is not large, and there are only three huts at the back. The door of one room was closed, but there was still a strong smell of medicine inside. The other two rooms are much lighter.
They walked into the room inside.
The room was not big, except for a bed, a table and a chair, and it was a little reluctant for four people to stand.
The young man put the kerosene lamp on the table, and Xu Chi and Yang Huai saw a person lying on the bed. The man's eyes were bright, but he seemed a little tired, and he was sitting, with a spear pointed at both men in one hand.
"My lord, these two are the subordinates of Master Hu in Anhui." The old man whispered.
"Oh? The clothes of the two seem to be good. Also on the bed was an old man, his eyes fixed on their clothes.
How is it clothes again? Xu Chi and Yang Huai smiled helplessly.
"We are indeed a new army, the advance force of the sneak attack on Beijing City tonight, and we are dressed like this for convenience." Xu Chi stretched out his empty hands to show that there was no malice.
"Who are you?"
"This official Ma Yukun!" The old man did not put down his gun.
"Ma Dashuai?" Xu Chi and Yang Huai looked at each other, they were so big!
Hu Xiaoyan easily waited for the cannonballs to be in place, but an hour had passed, and the city gate on the opposite side had already sensed the abnormality here. At the head of the city, an officer was looking over with a telescope.
There was a rumbling sound, and it was the airship that was attacking the Xiyuan military camp.
He raised his hand and was about to give the order to attack, but was stopped by Wang Tingjiao.
Hu Xiaoyan looked towards Wang Tingjiao's gaze, but saw five people coming from behind. One old and one young, and two special forces, one of whom was carrying an old man on his back.
The camouflage uniform of the special forces is very easy to identify, because the camouflage uniform was designed by Hu Xiaoyan.
"Your Excellency!"
Hu Xiaoyan waved his hand, the identity of the special forces cannot be revealed.
"Who are these?"
"This is Ma Yukun Ma Dashuai!" Xu Chi pointed to Ma Yukun on Yang Huai's back and said.
"Master Hu, it's been a long time." Ma Yukun raised his head and said weakly.
"Ma Dashuai!" Hu Xiaoyan hurriedly took Ma Yukun and checked Ma Yukun's pulse by the way. Hu Xiaoyan spent several months studying Chinese medicine with those "famous doctors" in Anhui. It's not very proficient, but simple conditions can still be diagnosed.
"It's just a simple overdose of blood." Hu Xiaoyan was relieved. He hugged Ma Yukun and sat in the corner.
"Ma Dashuai, I'm late."
"It's not too late, it's not too late. I'm glad you're here. Ma Yukun waved his hand absently.
"You think I'm not coming?" Hu Xiaoyan said dissatisfied.
"By your character, you shouldn't have come. You're not the kind of person who serves your country loyally. Ma Yukun squinted his eyes.
Hu Xiaoyan was silent. He has never been a man who is loyal to the king and the country.
"It's hard for adults to do one thing!"
"Say it." Ma Yukun asked nonchalantly.
"Please put up the banner of the commander and gather the rout. Yesterday the Wuyou Army was dispersed, and there are at least 10,000 troops in Beijing at present, and my soldiers are too few. It's too busy at all. Hu Xiaoyan pointed to the inner city.
"Good! You let these two boys help me! Ma Yukunming's white army is like fire, although his body is very tired from blood loss, he still tries to stand up with the help of Hu Xiaoyan. If it weren't for the emergency, Hu Xiaoyan wouldn't have let him, the sick man, come out.
"Xu Chi and Yang Huai are here!" Xu Chi and Yang Huai stepped forward.
"Protect Ma Dashuai." Hu Xiaoyan nodded.
"Yes!" Xu Chi and Yang Huai took the order.
Seeing the five people leave again, Hu Xiaoyan's heart suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"Don't attack for the time being, pay attention to defense!" Hu Xiaoyan knows that the task is very heavy! But he had no choice, and it was really difficult to rely on the Boxer troops under Zhang Shaozeng to hold the Inner Nine Gates. But fortunately, Hu Xiaoyan brought artillery from the Eight-Nation Alliance. Artillery is always the king of war, and the combat effectiveness of Zhang Shaozeng's division with artillery and the headquarters of the Eight-Nation Allied Army without artillery can basically be equal.
Although there are many artillery pieces of the coalition army, they are assigned to the nine city gates by Hu Xiaoyan, and there are actually not many of them.
"The commander of the left army of the Wuwei Army has an order: all the soldiers of the right army of the Wuwei Army are gathered at Zhengyangmen!" More than a dozen of the only horses were allocated to Ma Yukun for the purpose of heralding.
Only the scattered soldiers heard the herald's words, and generally followed the orders. People are social creatures, and soldiers who have lost faith need orders from their superiors at this time.
With the orders of the heralds and the sporadic gunshots, the various units of the Wuwei Army and some Boxers scattered in the outer city gradually gathered outside the Zhengyang Gate.
However, Hu Xiaoyan no longer needs to sit in Zhengyangmen. Ma Yukun moved a recliner and sat in Zhengyangmen, while Wang Tingjiao stayed behind to help.
Hu Xiaoyan rode his horse to the direction of the Xiyuan military camp.
The Xiyuan barracks was about to be bombed into ruins, because Hu Xiaoyan's military order to the airship troops was to throw away all the bombs on the boat and all the bullets that had been used to kill Maxine.
There are no surprises and there will be no surprises in such a war. Li Zejun and Jiang Yanxing stubbornly withstood the strong breakthrough of the coalition forces.
Waves of coalition corpses were left on the positions.
When Hu Xiaoyan arrived at the position, he saw a white flag floating on the position of the coalition army.
Not surprisingly, the top commander of the barracks was Marshal of the Russian Army Alekseev.
After Li Zejun and Jiang Yanxing's cleanup. The total number of coalition soldiers who survived and surrendered this time was about 8,000. About three or four thousand were killed by the bombs, and all the others were killed by Maxine machine guns. When on the defensive, Maxine is more effective than artillery.
Hu Xiaoyan left Jiang Yanxing to lead 3,000 men to guard the prisoners and command the prisoners to clean up the battlefield. Li Zejun took the rest of his troops to follow Hu Xiaoyan to support the battle in the inner city.
The airship unit also rushed back to the base to replenish ammunition.
In the afternoon, Hu Xiaoyan came to Zhengyangmen.
More than 5,000 routs gathered outside the Zhengyang Gate. These people are being trained by Wang Tingjiao. The soldiers of the two companies under Wang Tingjiao were promoted to non-commissioned officers by the line of fire, leading the defeated soldiers to form a team and participate in the defense. Hu Xiaoyan arrived at the right time, he brought a batch of rifles from the coalition army, which were in use, and most of the routs had already thrown away their rifles when they fled.
With the assistance of Ma Yukun, Wang Tingjiao quickly dispatched 5,000 people to the other eight along with the 7,000 new troops under Li Zejun. With the participation of more soldiers, the number went up, but the morale and combat effectiveness dropped a lot.
But Wang Tingjiao has a way. He arranged the two fully formed platoons of the new army to serve as the last overseers. The routs and Boxer soldiers held rifles in front. As long as there were soldiers who dared to retreat, Wang Tingjiao dared to order a massacre. There is no mercy on the battlefield.
In the morning, the coalition forces organized another attack on Zhengyangmen. But it was blocked back by artillery and Maxine.
Now it's Wang Ting's turn to attack.
An hour later, some more houses were demolished, and Wang Tingjiao installed a 10-inch naval gun. He did not wait for the arrival of the airship troops. Directly more than a dozen cannons attacked at once.
The attacks of naval guns, rapid-fire guns, and Krupp artillery were not something that the Beijing city walls could withstand hundreds of years ago. After three rounds of artillery, the gates of Zhengyangmen disappeared into this plane.
With this shelling, the other eight gates in the inner city of Beijing almost simultaneously sounded the sound of shelling.
Wang Tingjiao currently has more than 20,000 soldiers under his command, which is no less than the coalition soldiers in the inner city, but he still adopts the method of pressing step by step, instead of rushing into the inner city to fight street battles.
The nine gates of the inner city were undoubtedly broken by artillery. Subsequently, the various units used artillery and Maxine to clear the coalition forces that dared to approach the walls.
After the city gate was completely controlled by the new army, Wang Tingjiao stopped the attack. He was waiting for the airship troops. Also wait for the final counterattack of the coalition forces.
The nine gates were all in the hands of Wang Tingjiao, and his troops were also divided. And because the coalition forces lost the city gates, their strength was concentrated and strengthened. If you attack from the nine gates at the same time at this time, then the one-way attack will not be enough to attack power, and it will be easy to be broken by the coalition forces! If it is highlighted by the coalition forces to the outer city, the guards of the seven gates of the outer city will not be able to retain the coalition forces at all. It is even possible that the Eight-Nation Coalition will escape.
But Wang Tingjiao held the city wall and stopped attacking, so the attacking side became a coalition army.
It is protected by the city wall and has Maxine's super attack power. The Eight-Nation Alliance, which is desperately short of ammunition and has no heavy firepower, is unlikely to capture the sparsely numbered defenders!
Wang Tingjiao was not wrong. The Eight-Nation Coalition chose Xuanwumen to break through, but unfortunately Xuanwumen was the closest to Zhengyangmen, and Wang Tingjiao, who was standing at the head of the city, saw the movement of the coalition army early with a telescope, and he mobilized more than 1,000 troops to support, and after the defensive troops with enough shells and Maxine bullets easily killed 3,000 people, they repelled the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance.
"Sound from east to west!" Hu Xiaoyan and Ma Yukun stood together.
"They have tried so many times, it is impossible not to know that Zhengyangmen has the strongest troops." Ma Yukun nodded.
"I guess they're going to break through at Desheng." Hu Xiaoyan said categorically.
"Oh?" Ma Yukun was a little strange.
Deshengmen, of course! Hu Xiaoyan looked at the red troop layout of Deshengmen on the map in his mind!
Want to run? Did you run?
