The imperial court in the capital is already burning its eyebrows in a hurry, and Tianjin is still being pressed by artillery fire and war drums!

Zeng Guofan led the remnants of the defeated army to withdraw from Tianjin, and Bazin and Morenster led the army to take Tianjin in one go. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The same situation was staged in Tianjin, burning, killing and looting, the Franco-Spanish coalition army did all kinds of evil in Tianjin, and Tianjin was given a bottom to the sky, and batches of gold and silver wealth were loaded onto the back warships by this group of bandits!

The Franco-Spanish coalition army only stayed in Tianjin City for one day, and Bazin was about to give the order to attack the capital again, when a staff officer hurriedly ran up and said urgently: "General Bazin, the British General Horton led the LinkedIn Japanese army to Tianjin City!" ”

Horton was stunned, Horton? How did they get to Tianjin so quickly?

"What's going on?"

Bazin asked, frowning.

The staff officer hurriedly whispered: "General, General Houghton and General Dundas's attack on Shandong was blocked, and they suffered heavy casualties, so they had to withdraw from the battle and return to Tianjin......"

Bazin was shocked, and immediately laughed, "Hahaha, you mean that Houghton and Dundas led the British Imperial fleet with 60,000 British and Japanese troops, and were defeated by the Qing army?" ”

The staff officer replied: "Well, General Horton has already sent someone in, I asked, the British Imperial Navy attacked Weihaiwei, and as a result, a battleship was directly sunk by the Qing army, and several gunboats were either sunk or wounded, and suffered heavy losses; There was no hope of attacking Weihaiwei, the British Imperial Navy tried to force a landing in Rongcheng Bay, but the Qing army had already prepared, and ambushed a large number of troops in Rongcheng Bay, with countless artillery and heavy machine guns, and after a battle, 30,000 Japanese troops were lost, and 30,000 British troops suffered more than 7,000 casualties, and then the Qing army increased its troops and occupied a favorable terrain, and the British army had no hope of breaking through the position, so they could only choose to retreat......"

"Haha,"

Bazin jumped happily, for many years, Britain and France have been competing openly and secretly, most of the time, France is still at a disadvantage, this time to attack China, did not expect that they won a battle, the British were unlucky, hit a head and broke the bloodstream, first in Fuzhou let the family to calculate, and then to Shandong, and let the family give a hard beating, this loss is absolutely fatal, a single battleship, it takes nearly a million taels of silver, not to mention thousands of British casualties!

"Cool, so cool, haha, this group of arrogant Brits has finally received a painful lesson, haha, enjoyable!"

Bazin laughed.

Morenster on the side was also a little gloating, and said: "General Bazin, are we letting the British army into the city at this time?" ”

"Well, let them enter the city, after all, we are still allies, it is unreasonable to refuse people outside the city, it just so happens that we will also look at their jokes, haha, the herald, let go of the city gates, we will meet General Houghton!"

Bazin exclaimed excitedly.

Outside Tianjin, Bazin and Morenster and the important generals of the two armies came on war horses, and when they saw Horton from a distance, Bazin laughed and said: "Haha, General Horton, you are so fast, we have just taken Tianjin City, and you have killed from Shandong to Tianjin, admire, admire!" ”

Horton's face flushed, and he could catch up with the eggplant!

"General Bazin, I disappointed you, we didn't take Shandong, I have to admit that this time, our defense estimate of the Qing army in Shandong is seriously insufficient, hehe, tens of thousands of troops can't break through a small position in Rongcheng Bay, it's really a shame for our British Imperial soldiers......"

Bazin was stunned, he didn't expect Horton to admit defeat directly, defeated, defeated, even defeated, there was no excuse at all, did the British have no sense of honor?

"General Houghton, isn't it? In this battle alone, do you think that the Qing army in Shandong is invincible? You can't help but think too highly of their Qing army, right? ”

Bazin was surprised.

Horton glanced at Bazin angrily, and shouted: "General Bazin, I can only say that I underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Qing army, I can only say that their combat effectiveness is definitely not under the French army, if you don't believe it, you can go to Shandong to try, if you can win the battle, then I would rather give up all the reparations for this attack on China, as long as you can give up this breath for me!" ”

Before you know it, Horton has dug a big hole for Bazin!

Bazin said dissatisfied: "General Houghton, your British Empire's army is not good, it doesn't mean that our French Army is not good, the reputation of the king of land warfare in the world is not something that any army can snatch, and the combat power of the Qing Army is not under the French Army?" Why am I so disbelieving? Look, from Beitang, to Dagukou, and then to Tianjin, we are all the way like a bamboo, there is almost no obstruction, the so-called Hunan army, the Huai army, the ace combat power of the Qing army, we were defeated, outside Tianjin, in the first battle, we only fired a thousand shells, and the two wings of the entire Qing army were defeated, and even an hour was useless, and the 20,000 Qing army collapsed! ”

Horton sneered: "General Bazin, you are facing a group of waste, I am facing the most elite main force of Guo Ye's descendants, you have a chance, go up and touch it, you will know how strong the opponent is, and when the time comes, don't forget my reminder today, just don't cry your nose!" ”

Bazin was so angry that he wanted to laugh at Horton, but he didn't expect this Horton to laugh at himself for picking up ready-made cheap, saying that his French Army was not the elite opponent of Guo Ye's lineage!

"Hmph, General Houghton, I'm waiting for this day, I must defeat Guo Ye's main lineage, let you see, the French Army is the real first strong army, as for who the second strongest army is, hehe, then let the military of the world evaluate it......"

Bazin snorted coldly, the implication is that the French Army is the first army in the world, but the second army may not be your English army, who made you unable to even defeat the Qing army?

Unexpectedly, Horton actually endured this breath, and said indifferently: "General Bazin, as long as you defeat the elite main force under Guo Ye, then why don't I admit that you are the world's number one army?" However, as far as I can see, your French army will still be given in vain, unless you use 30,000 troops to attack a division, but even if all 30,000 troops are pressed, they may not be able to withstand the ......."

"Houghton!"

Bazin is really angry, your British Army is disgraced, it doesn't mean that our French Army can't do it, specially, Lao Tzu didn't bury you, you are up and down, there is a kind, your British Empire army has taken down Shandong......

"Horton, I will definitely defeat Guo Ye's Lu army to show you, and it is under the same force!"
