The descendants of the Zeng family who were dissuaded by Zeng Guofan himself! I had to be angry and go north with Li Hongzhang. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After two or three days of rapid marching. Li Hongzhang finally came to the outside of the capital with more than 100,000 troops.

Zuo Zongtang, who followed him and raised troops at the same time, also marched all the way from Shanxi to the capital.

It is expected to arrive in the capital in three to five days.

The reason why Zuo Zongtang was later than Li Hongzhang was because he received arms from foreigners halfway through.

With 110,000 breech-loading rifles, he trained the army on the road for a few days.

Seeing the results of the soldiers after training, this batch of rear-loading rifles made Zuo Zongtang very happy.

Hurriedly took out 50,000 of them, sent cavalry troops, and sent them to the capital to Li Hongzhang as soon as possible.

And in a letter to Li Hongzhang, he said that there is such an artifact fast gun.

The Taiping rebels are simply clowns who can be extinguished in an instant.

Li Hongzhang arrived outside the capital and immediately ordered his troops to build fortifications.

Build antlers, horses, ladders, etc. He wanted to go to the siege when he was ready.

Unexpectedly, the Taiping army had already known that he was coming, and not only did they not defend the city.

On the contrary, all of them withdrew from the city and prepared to fight him in the field, and when the Taiping army came, there were more than 300,000.

After a series of battles, the waves washed the sand, and now there are more than 200,000.

However, the remaining elites, who are not afraid of death, have just ransacked the capital.

The morale was high, and Li Xiucheng wanted to go out of the city and fight with Li Hongzhang.

In order to redeem the bad luck since the breakout of Nanjing, and at this time, Hong Tianguifu was also assassinated.

Suspected of being a poisonous hand under Prime Minister Zeng Guofan, Li Xiucheng took the opportunity to steal power.

Playing the banner of avenging the young king, the Taiping army obeyed.

Everyone was screaming, they wanted to go to Li Hongzhang for a decisive battle, the reason why Li Xiucheng had this confidence and dared to go out of the city to Li Hongzhang for a decisive battle.

It also depends on Zhang Yun to give him, these more than 200,000 Mini rifles.

It made him feel a lot of confidence in his heart, thinking that if he defeated Li Hongzhang on the frontal battlefield.

Then he can defend the capital, face south and claim the emperor, and ascend to the position he has always wanted to sit.

It's a pity that he didn't expect that 50,000 breech-loading rifles would soon be delivered to Li Hongzhang's barracks on the outskirts of the capital.

In fact, even Zhang Yun didn't guess that the foreigners' support for the Qing court had reached such a level.

Originally, Zhang Yun thought that the foreigners were selling some obsolete front-loading guns to the Qing court.

It was up to the sky, but I didn't expect that the Taiping army broke through the capital, which was too stimulating for foreigners.

Even some of their envoys who remained in the capital were poisoned by the Taiping army.

This further compelled them to do their best to support the Qing court, the East India Company liaison,

Various countries with interests in the Far East collectively raised breech-loading rifles for the Manchus.

If the Taiping army is not destroyed, they will not stop, and the British minister sees the Qing country, only Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, and Zeng Guofan can carry the banner.

Oh, with Zeng Guofan's gloom, he withdrew from the stage of history and was no longer in power.

This batch of aid rifles naturally fell into the hands of Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang.

Outside Beijing, Zhang Yun and Li Xiucheng were observing Li Hongzhang's military camp position.

At this time, Zhang Yu saw something Li Hongzhang's subordinates seemed to be newly equipped with a batch of rifles, which were extremely similar to rear-loading rifles.

Zhang Yun immediately took out the binoculars, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

At least a third of Li Hongzhang's men held rifles in their hands, which were completely different from the front-loading muskets.

Zhang Lin couldn't help but think of the rear-loading guns that appeared in Germany in 1841.

After putting down the binoculars, Zhang Yun looked back at Li Xiucheng strangely.

This old boy's luck is not very good, and he is about to develop,

turned out to pour cold water on the other side!

Zhang Yun kept muttering in his heart, but he was already detached in his heart.

Looking at this situation, Li Xiucheng didn't end well! I'm going to have to retreat.

Can't die with him, go directly to face tens of thousands of rear-loading rifles.

Although Li Hongzhang was in possession of an antique single-shot rear-loading rifle.

It's not as good as the bolt-on rifle under Zhang Yun, but Zhang Yun only has a few thousand people in the capital!

Even counting Chen Lin's army, which was about to arrive in the capital, was less than 20,000 people.

What's more, Zhang Yun didn't want to sell Li Xiucheng at all, and Zhang Yun already had the intention of retreating in his heart.

said to Li Xiucheng that on the other side of Li Hongzhang, the hundreds of thousands of remnants of the army organized in a hurry were defeated.

I'll leave it to you, the King, and I'll continue to go back to the Forbidden City to loot the treasures!

Li Xiucheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yun, a little greedy for life and afraid of death.

When I defeat Li Hongzhang and occupy the capital, I will collect all the fast guns under him.

As for whether she is against it then? A glass of poisoned wine is worthy of him.

Li Xiucheng was spinning something in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

On the contrary, it is to Zhang Yun, you go! I'll leave it to me here, Li Hongzhang doesn't have to worry.

The two people with their own ghosts were separated, and Zhang Yun returned to Zijin City.

Immediately ordered the soldiers to pack up the treasures and leave immediately.

Taking advantage of the large forces of the Taiping Army, they were all pinned down at Yongding Gate, Zhang Yun learned from Zeng Guofan, from Guangqumen.

quickly left the city of Beijing, although the city still had Li Hongzhang and the scouts of the Taiping army,

But under the quick guns of Zhang Yun's subordinates, they were all killed on the ground.

After leaving the city of Beijing, Zhang Yun looked at the Taiping Gate where Li Hongzhang and the Taiping army were confronted from a distance.

I know in my heart, no matter what Li Xiucheng thinks about me? It's a pity that it can't be realized!

After one last glance at the capital, Zhang Yun walked to the south without looking back.

Strive to meet with the soldiers of Chen Lin's army as soon as possible

So it's safe,

At this time, in the whole country, there are nearly 20,000 people who are qualified to threaten the safety of Zhang Yun.

Now they are all in the capital or close to the capital, out of the capital, there are 20,000 people in hand,

Zhang Yun can go anywhere

Less than an hour after Zhang Yun left, Li Xiucheng received the news.

The Forbidden City is no longer defended, Zhang Yun's men and horses are all gone, and almost all of them are emptied inside.

There were only some eunuchs and palace maids inside, Li Xiucheng heard this,

I can't help but look up to the sky and sigh, even if you kid runs fast, now there is a big war, but Zhang Yun can't help it,

Those treasures of the Forbidden City could only be kept with Zhang Yun for a period of time.

After I defeat Li Hongzhang and gain a firm foothold in the capital, isn't it up to the world to pass the charts?

By that time, where else can you run Zhang Yun? It's mine, it's mine after all.

Not to mention that Li Xiucheng is obscene here, Li Hongzhang on the opposite side has already set up the camp,

He also let his subordinates, that is, tens of thousands of musketeers, fire a few shots each, and familiarize themselves with the rifle.

Li Hongzhang couldn't wait to come to the capital to attack the city, and he couldn't even wait for Zuo Zongtang to come.

With the dull sound of war drums, Li Hongzhang's troops approached the Taiping army's position with chaotic steps.

Seeing this, Li Xiucheng hurriedly reined in the messy thoughts in his heart,

Cheer up and order the Taiping army to meet them.

But as soon as the battle began, the situation was beyond Li Xiucheng's expectations.

The invincible Minnie rifle that was originally held in the hand,

The proud shooting speed was several times slower than that of the opposite, Li Hongzhang's department.

After holding out for less than an hour, the Taiping army paid tens of thousands of lives.

The whole army was defeated and fled into the city of Beijing, and Li Xiucheng was a little confused when the city gate was closed.

A moment ago, he was still in high spirits and was ready to face the south and claim the emperor, why did he lose so badly now?

How is the rifle under Li Hongzhang very similar to the rifle under Zhang Yun's department?

The more Li Xiucheng thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, Zhang Yun, this kid ran too fast!

Otherwise, you can let that kid go up first to be cannon fodder,

As the Taiping army retreated to the city, Li Hongzhang's troops surrounded the capital.

The two sides went back and forth, and the ping-pong games were lively, but they didn't attack the city for a few days.

The Taiping army did not dare to come out to fight in the field again, and at this time, Zuo Zongtang also came to the capital with more than 100,000 troops.

At this moment, Li Xiucheng is even more difficult to fly, even if he barely breaks through.

The 120,000 troops that had been developed with great difficulty were all going to be thrown away.

Li Xiucheng thinks about it, he is really unwilling, but he doesn't deserve to die.

The army led by Zhang Yun and Chen Lin was safeguarded after they converged.

He couldn't help but think of Li Xiucheng, who was still suffering in the capital, that kid's current situation shouldn't be good!

Tens of thousands of rear-loading single-shot rifles are enough to teach Li Xiucheng how to be a man!

Zhang Yun immediately ordered Chen Lin to be one or two hundred kilometers outside of Beijing.

A separate hidden, field airfield was built and scouts were sent to infiltrate the city of Beijing at the risk of death.

It was Li Xiucheng who went to contact, Zhang Yun was ready to open a passage to prepare for Li Xiucheng's breakthrough,

Because of the current form of Beijing City, Zhang Yuncai also guessed that he was facing Li Hongzhang's soldiers,

The Taiping army, which can't resist, will definitely retreat to defend Beijing City, and then, it should be trapped to death.

And at this time, Zhang Yun's subordinates, the scouts and security divisions finally sent a piece of information to Zhang Yun's hands.

The foreigners sponsored 110,000 rear-loading single-shot rifles to the Manchus, which were accepted by Zuo Zongtang.

The tens of thousands in Li Hongzhang's hands are probably from this batch.

And another news is that Zuo Zongtang has also arrived in the capital.

When Zhang Yun heard the news, he couldn't help but mourn for Li Xiucheng for three minutes.

This baby was so unlucky, just when he was about to succeed, he was knocked to the ground by someone with a stick.

If you change to someone who is a little more mentally fragile, you might just go crazy.

But although he laughed at Li Xiucheng, he still had to go to the rescue.

Otherwise, it is not in line with his strategic goals, if Li Xiucheng falls,

Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan don't take turns to knock himself to death,

In view of the fact that there were already more than 200,000 Qing troops born in Beijing, Zhang Yun would certainly not let Chen Lin take these 20,000 people to the city of Beijing to fight the Qing army.

had to take matters into his own hands again and fly a plane to blow up a breakthrough passage for Li Xiucheng and the Taiping Army.

Five days later, the scouts with the radio had risked their lives and rushed into Beijing to get in touch with Li Xiucheng.

Li Xiucheng, when he was anxious, suddenly learned that Zhang Yun was going to drive the big iron bird back and open a way for him to live.

I couldn't help but be overjoyed and said to myself, there is no endless road to heaven!

agreed with each other that the time to break through had already been the five-day engineering defensive battle.

The exhausted soldiers of the Taiping Army couldn't help but boost their morale when they learned that they could have a chance to break through.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the main force of the Taiping Army on the night of the Lantern Festival, secretly withdrew to Guangqumen to prepare for a breakthrough.

All the Taiping soldiers had big bags on them, and some even took iron pots.

After Li Xiucheng saw it, he couldn't help but be very angry and ordered the Taiping soldiers to throw away all the things that affected the march.

Although many people were unwilling, the military order was like a mountain, and those quilts, pots and pans were still thrown away.

Or throw it inside the Guangqu Gate, everywhere, to the appointed time,

Li Xiucheng saw that the big iron bird in the sky had come, so he ordered,

Blowing down the Guangqu Gate and the surrounding city walls, the Taiping army rushed out like a swarm,

Zhang Yun, who was on the plane, saw a huge fire flashing next to the Guangqu Gate.

He began to lower his flight altitude and threw down more than 20 tons of aerial bombs that were being pulled from the plane.

The Qing army's position outside the Guangqu Gate was bombed full of pits, and when it was in chaos,

The Taiping army rushed out, they could not resist, and had to retreat on both sides.

When the Taiping army had just passed through them and abandoned their positions, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang were preparing,

When leading the men and horses, when chasing the Taiping army, Zhang Yun threw dozens of tons of napalm on the road behind the Taiping army.

This batch of incendiary bombs can at least buy Li Xiucheng and the Taiping army an hour to run.

As for Li Xiucheng in the end, how many Taiping soldiers can he take to run away,

Then it's up to them!!!
