Chapter 359: Forcing Him to Surrender

It has been more than 200 years since the Eight Banners entered the customs, even when the British and French troops entered Beijing, Emperor Xianfeng led the Manchu ministers to Chengde under the pretext of hunting Chengde, and did not say anything about moving the capital. Now, after Liu Jun occupied Chengde, the imperial court could not calm down and officially moved the capital to Xi'an.

The court understood, and Cixi understood. What the Anglo-French coalition wants is just a small benefit, and one day it will be withdrawn, but Liu Jun is different, Liu Jun wants his own world,

Because Nie Shicheng opposed the relocation of the capital, he asked Cixi to crawl on the ground with a piece of paper and hang up the false title of Admiral of Jiumen. Led more than 10,000 assistants to Beijing.

Nie Shicheng, who is angry in his heart, has always been loyal to the king, and this time he also launched a ruthless attack, and the two palaces went out of Beijing, and he didn't take a look at it himself. Just let one of the staff officers inquire about the news.

Now, after receiving a clear answer from the general, Nie Shicheng waved his hand, and after letting the general step down, he sighed and turned back to the study.

In the study, the famous paintings that were originally hung here have already been taken down by Nie Shicheng's order, and the military map has been hung.

Looking at the two forces marked now, Nie Shicheng bowed his head slightly, turned around and came to the bookshelf, took out a thread-bound "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and picked it up and looked at it, Nie Shicheng returned to his position, and after putting the book on the table, Nie Shicheng wanted to open it several times, but every time he touched the book, he would quickly retract his hand, as if there was something terrible.

After thinking about it again, Nie Shicheng finally opened the book, he didn't look at the contents inside, these things, he had memorized them for a long time. What he took out of it was a letter. A letter written by his old prefect Li Hongzhang.

Lushun, the autumn wind has gradually blown. Many withered yellow leaves were hung in the sky and fluttered all over the sky.

Under the grape trellis of the headquarters, Liu Junle picked up a large pair of scissors and was selecting the largest ripe grapes to cut. On the other hand, Zheng Yiqian picked up a basket and put the grapes cut by Liu Jun into the basket.

"Head" earth-shattering cry.

"Oops." Zhong Lin's voice was too loud, Liu Jun couldn't stand steadily, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, Zheng Yiqian next to him saw Liu Jun falling, and immediately put down the basket and helped Liu Jun up to sit in his position.

"What the hell are you mourning, why are you so loud?" Looking at Zhong Lin, who was now standing in front of him, Liu Jun's eyes were startled.

"Head, good news, according to intelligence, the two palaces of the imperial court have retreated, and according to the second report, it is going to Xi'an."

Sian? As soon as he heard these two words, Liu Jun stood up suddenly, dropped the scissors, and turned around and walked towards the war department.

In the War Department, the staff officers were constantly pointing and pointing on the map, and as soon as they saw Liu Junlai, the staff officers immediately left the work in their hands. After getting Liu Jun's signal again, everyone began to get busy again.

went straight to the innermost room, Liu Jun opened the curtains inside, and walked to the map.

Xi'an, Liu Jun was a little happy in his heart, the imperial court evacuated Beijing, so the cultural relics of Beijing City would be able to report spring, and they would not even suffer from war.

"How is Beijing now?" After thinking lightly, Liu Jun turned to look at Zhong Lin beside him.

"Head, according to intelligence, now Nie Shicheng has been appointed as the commander of the Nine Gates, responsible for all military affairs in Beijing.

Nie Shicheng? Liu Jun's eyes widened in confusion.

Turning around, if you want something bad, Liu Jun chuckled in his heart, and slowly looked at Zheng Yiqian on the side, and he found that Zheng Yiqian also had such thoughts.

Ten days ago, that is, on September 13, the third day of his war against the imperial court, Liu Jun and Zheng Yiqian came to Li Hongzhang's room and asked Li Hongzhang to write a letter to Nie Shicheng, hoping that he would focus on the overall situation and return to Liaodong, and Li Hongzhang saw that Liu Jun was so eager, so he agreed, and wrote a letter and delivered it to Liu Jun at that time. Let people hand it over to Nie Shicheng, but now more than ten days have passed, this letter has not received any reply, Liu Jun estimated in his heart that Nie Shicheng will not give Li Hongzhang face, to resist to the end, and now I hear Zhong Lin say that Nie Shicheng is in charge of Beijing City, which proves that Beijing still has to fight a war, which is in conflict with his own peaceful settlement of Beijing.

In the past few days, the reason why Wang Shizhen stopped attacking was to let him solve the Beijing problem without blood after the imperial court withdrew from Beijing. But now, the imperial court has come to such a hand, and actually let Nie Shicheng guard Beijing, this problem is too serious.

"Head, what's wrong with you, it looks like you're not happy to hear the news." Zhong Lin next to him didn't know that Liu Jun had asked Li Hongzhang to write a letter. So when he saw that the two of them were now more bitter than the other, he immediately touched his head.

Nonsense, what is the difference between this and Cixi not evacuating the city of Beijing. After Liu Jun finished muttering, he picked up a pen from the table next to him and quickly sketched a few times on the map. Immediately turned his head.

"Let Wang Shizhen attack immediately, be sure to reach Tongzhou within three days, and immediately give an order to let the Eighth Army Jun be on standby."

"Head, what do you want?" Zhong Lin took down the pen and quickly wrote down the order.

Liu Jun glanced at Zhong Lin and threw him to the ground: "Lao Tzu wants to force Nie Shicheng to surrender." ”

In Yutian County, Luo Dacheng picked up a large basin and pulled the rice inside, Wang Shizhen on one side was relatively gentle, and he was eating in small bites while watching the Qing soldiers in his hands in the past few days.

"Report, Lushun Emergency." A staff officer walked in, and before he could hand the telegram to Wang Shizhen, Luo Dacheng on the side snatched it at once.

Hehehe, "But the hell suffocated me." After Luo Dacheng finished speaking, he handed the telegram to Wang Shizhen: "Dashuai let us attack immediately." ”

Wang Shizhen glanced at Luo Dacheng, who was smiling, put down his rice bowl, and after confirming the order again, he suddenly turned around and stood up, came to the map, thought carefully for a few times, and turned his head sharply.

"All units will attack immediately, and they must break through the Yutian defense line within two days."

Boom boom boom boom on the Luoshan position. Dozens of artillery pieces under the mountain were intensively launching a fierce artillery bombardment on the main position of Luoshan.

The huge artillery fire broke the surrounding trees and fell to the ground, and the dry weeds were ignited by the sparks from the shells.

"In the main position of Luoshan, in the bunker, Tie Liangzheng, the commander of the first town, picked up the telescope in his hand and looked at the Liaodong Army and the Eastern Army that were slowly advancing. I felt a chill in my heart.

He didn't know how many more days he could hold out here.

News of the imperial court's evacuation of Beijing. He had already received a secret telegram, and the content of the telegram was to let him stay for a day to cover the safe evacuation of the two palaces of the imperial court.

After receiving this order, Tie Liang did not send the telegram down, but directly burned it, and he made it clear that if this telegram was transmitted to the army, then the morale that was not very good would suddenly be even lowered.

These days, although the Liaodong Army has not launched an offensive, he knows it very well. The Liaodong Army is resting, or waiting for supplies, after all, he has been chased by the Liaodong Army for a long time, and he has not been re-sent, and the Liaodong Army will not be re-sent.

Now, the Liaodong Army has launched such a fierce attack, which can only explain one problem, the Liaodong Army is now recuperating.

Boom, a shell exploded around the bunker, and immediately lifted several Qing soldiers there into the sky, and then fell heavily to the ground, and immediately lay there motionless with blood.

The vibration of the shells suddenly shook the soil on the bunker and fell down, who did Tie Liang use to wipe off the soil that fell on the map, and now the No. 2 defense line has been occupied by the Liaodong Army,

The No. 2 line of defense is the only place to enter the main position of Luoshan, and he arranged a sentry here, more than 100 people.

However, more than half of these 100 people were lost in less than half an hour of Liaodong artillery fire, and the rest were retreated after only holding out for more than ten minutes under the attack of the Liaodong infantry.

He once asked people to recapture the No. 2 position, but the Liaodong Army reacted too quickly, and in less than five minutes, more than 1,000 people rushed up, and there was artillery fire to suppress themselves, so that the troops they sent out were bombarded.

"Report, Position 4 is lost." A senator ran in and yelled in panic.

What? Tie Liang suddenly found the fourth position. After a slight scan of both eyes.

With a snap, Tie Liang threw down the pen in his hand all of a sudden: "Damn, Wang Shizhen is really not a thing." ”
