Colonel Cosini, who had already breached Di'anmen and was continuing to storm Jingshan, the town of the Forbidden City, also discovered an anomaly on its flank. He doesn't care what you're thinking, he immediately mobilizes the reserve army in his hand, and strikes first.
The horses that Monk Lingqin brought into the inner city, in addition to his own team of 3,000 horses, and then his subordinates who returned to Beijing with Mianxun. Although all the people and horses are his Mongolian clansmen, even if they don't need more running-in, they are definitely handy to use, but the dazed monk Grinqin actually forgot about it at such a critical moment, and most of these Mongolian horse teams that could be called capable of fighting have never come to the capital at all. A small number of generals and guards, even if they have seen the scenery of the capital, are just the palaces that have visited a few houses, and they are completely unfamiliar with the dense streets and alleys of the capital. What's more, long before entering the city, he ignored the fact that there was actually a cruel urban street battle that was about to unfold, and the horse team of nearly 5,000 could dominate in the wilderness, but they came to the capital with a hula and a pull, where was there still a chance to display their housekeeping skills?
If he is unstable on his feet, he will be attacked on his back and abdomen, and Seng Lingqin has to take a safe approach to deal with it first. He ordered the whole army to make a slight avoidance, and immediately seized the palaces of Longfu Temple, Fahua Temple, Prince Yi and Prince Heng, and took Chaoyang Gate as a foothold to the east, and after consuming the sharp energy of the enemy on both sides, he made calculations.
Who knows, with his order that could not be miscalculated, the army was in chaos in an instant. The people who should go to occupy the Fahua Temple saw the temple and entered, directly near the water tower to get the moon first, and rushed into the Longfu Temple, and the soldiers and horses who should occupy the Longfu Temple saw that they were in the friendly army, first felt that they were going the wrong way, and then looked at it carefully, and then they were wrong, and they turned over and went in and then reasoned with the friendly army. Even after retreating from the front, I went east along the Longfu Temple Toutiao Hutong at my feet, and I could easily see the people and horses of Prince Yi's Mansion at the end of the alley, which was also stupid. The generals who led the team were nervous and cautious, for fear that they would go the wrong way, and followed closely in front with their heads in front to control the people and horses of Chaoyangmen, and the Prince Yi Mansion they were looking for passed by them, but they didn't find it. In this situation, let alone those poor people who want to go into the alley to find Prince Heng and Gushan Beizi Mansion.
It is really not poor to eat, to wear, and to suffer from poverty if you can't calculate, Monk Greenqin made such a "small mistake", which made him lose more precious time, missed one favorable fighter plane after another, and the five thousand iron cavalry became a bunch of chaotic soldiers, which collapsed at the first touch.
Sadly, Sanglingqin's mistakes continued. Seeing that it was difficult to organize effective resistance to stabilize the morale of the army, Seng Lingqin was forced to make a painful decision to concentrate a part of his forces to rush south and make a bloody way into Dong'anmen. In order to achieve this goal, he took the lead and took the horse team equipped with foreign guns left to him by Mianxun to personally rear, covering the other soldiers and horses to go to Nanchong. After several rounds of back and forth with the menacing Russian soldiers, and finally giving the arrogant Russian soldiers a look, Monk Grinqin took a bloody stain and turned south.
It's a pity that the soldiers and horses who went south first finally broke through the interception of Li Hongzhang and Rong Lu, who were originally not numerous, but they couldn't find any door when they looked at the tall red wall of the palace. In a daze, he was once again hit hard by Li Hongzhang's soldiers and horses, except for a few smart generals who ran back to Chongwenmen, most of them scattered in a hurry.
Maybe it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but the monk Greenqin, who is familiar with the road, took this opportunity to avoid the full obstruction of Li Hongzhang and Rong Lu, although the more than 100 soldiers in charge of the palace were all killed in battle, after all, there were still six or seven hundred foreign spearmen who followed him and rushed into Dong'anmen.
Di'anmen was lost, because there were only less than 500 loyal and righteous rescue soldiers in the palace, not only to divide troops to assist in the defense of the south, but also to take into account the east and west, among the soldiers and horses who retreated to Jingshan, there were only 200 well-equipped loyal and righteous rescue ** officers and soldiers, and more were firearms battalion generals armed with bird guns. In the face of the rampant attacks of the Russian soldiers armed to the teeth, wave after wave, the battle of Jingshan was unprecedentedly tragic.
After a fierce battle in the middle of the night, the sunlight rising high in the air did not bring the slightest warmth to the officers and men who were lying on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain. Perhaps in this case, in their hearts, they still complain that the sun, which can bring light to all things in the world, should not jump out at all. The night, after all, is the friend they rely on to fight against the Tsarist ghosts, and without the protection of the night, they will endure a hundred times the madness of the Tsarist soldiers.
On the mountain, the officers and soldiers could clearly see that the soldiers and horses of the Tsarist Russia below were beginning to move frequently, and the forbidden troops that were originally in the capital were also joining the array of Tsarist Russian soldiers. Although the number of these soldiers and horses is not very large, it is clear that their appearance has another more threatening blow to the psychology of the defenders on the mountain.
"Do not be afraid, brethren, for they will not be rampant for a little longer." Fan Wenrui took advantage of this short gap in combat to gather more than 20 officers with troops to mobilize, "We have your firearms battalion here, as well as our loyal rescuers." You are the royal guards, and we are the guardians of the country, and we must be loyal and advocate the protection of the country. We should not fight for the sake of a certain bloodshed, but for the honor of the country and the dignity of being human, even if it is to sacrifice our lives. ”
Fan Wenrui pointed to the enemy camp under the mountain, "Look at it, on our land, there are actually these foreign devils and their dog minions showing off their might, what is this?" It's a shame for us big men with knives and guns. We, the Great Qing Kingdom, which claims to be the superior state of the Heavenly Empire, when did we dare to be tough with foreign devils? Never. But since last night, we've done it, and that's our pride. We're just going to show them, and as long as we're here, they'll never think of straightening up and walking half a step from here......"
"Wen Rui is good, alas...... If all the officials in the capital were like Wen Rui, why would those bastards be now! In the smoky room, Yi Xin looked at Duanhua and Monk Greenqin, whose faces were all gray, and who also picked up the big cigarette pouch and pot like Zaiyuan, sighed, "If you want to say it's weird, it's all my fault......"
"Sixth, it's useless to blame yourself now." Due to the destruction of the family ancestral hall, Zaiyuan, who was still listless until now, rolled his eyelids, "Lord Guiliang has been martyred, even if there may be some soldiers and horses of the monk king who can control Chaoyangmen and Chongwenmen, how many soldiers and horses may come to rescue us from outside?" Count it out, that is, the thousand people in Mianxun. But even if Mianxun enters the city, how much effect can it play? Let's think about how to respond. ”
Yi Xin shook his head, and sighed again, "The soldiers and horses brought in by the monk king can at most ensure that Jingshan is not lost for the time being, if you want to completely remove the threat, where is there any hope without external reinforcements...... At present, the four sides of the capital have gradually become calmer, and Wen Rui has also reported that there are still forbidden troops in the capital to reinforce the Russians, and it is clear that many of us who once believed in it have begun to change the direction of the wind. Look at the big men who are still in the palace, one by one, they are also reluctant to give up, and they should respond? What else can you do? ”
"King Gong, let's break through." Because the defeated monk Greenqin always felt sorry for Yixin, he threw down the big cigarette pouch suddenly, Huo Di stood up, "While there are still our soldiers and horses outside, my monk Greenqin risked his life to protect you and the emperor to fight out of the city!" ”
"Out of town?" Yi Xin looked at Monk Lingqin as if he didn't know it, and smiled bitterly, "Even if you go out of the city, what will happen in the future?" ”
"Later?" Duanhua snorted, "In the future, let that dead girl who wants to hang the curtain and go crazy here, you can toss it as much as you like, can't we set up another door?" The emperor is in front of us, the imperial treasure is by our side, where do we go, isn't the Qing Dynasty still there? In any case, we must not sit idly by. ”
"It's easy to say...... Yi Xin snorted as if he was in prostration, "this woman is amazing...... It's amazing...... With the help of the Russians...... She is even more powerful...... I...... I hate it...... Why didn't you start a little harder...... Destroy all these helpers of hers outside...... Alas...... It's all over now......"
"King Gong, you won't be confused, right?" Monk Lingqin looked at Yi Xin with a distressed feeling, "Now is the time to burn your eyebrows, don't keep thinking about those useless things." If you are not decisive at this time, maybe ...... Maybe we're going to throw away things that we shouldn't be throwing away again. ”
"It's all at this point, what else can I lose? In fact, everything that should have been thrown away has already been lost. Yi Xin's voice became a little choked, and he raised his hand and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, "I want to go...... Let's go, I don't have the strength to go any more......"
"I'm not leaving," Zaiyuan glanced at Yi Xin, and then looked at Duanhua and Monk Greenqin, who were helplessly troubled by Yi Xin's demeanor, and suddenly smiled. This laugh confused Seng Lingqin and Duanhua again.
"Some time ago, I only told you about the hexagram that the master in Jinan calculated for us," Zaiyuan knocked the big cigarette bag pot in his hand, looking unhurried, "But there is also a bet between him and him, I haven't said it." ”
"Bet?" Monk Lingqin looked at Zaiyuan strangely and shook his head in disbelief, "What bet can he make with you?" And what is the stake? ”
Zaiyuan smiled at Monk Greenqin, and then looked at Yi Xin, who was also staring at him curiously, "The stakes are a little bigger, if I lose, I must agree to the peace negotiation clause they proposed." But...... It's also a strange way to gamble......"
Duanhua saw that Zaiyuan was talking and there was no follow-up, so he was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, "When is it, can't you talk faster?" ”
"Actually, it's just a sentence, he said, in our ...... Remember, it's not me, it's us. He said he would come to our aid when we were in the most desperate situation. Jaeyuan said, sighing, "I really took this as a joke at the time. However, I don't dare bet on him even if it's a joke because it's too big......"
Zaiyuan glanced at Yi Xin, who lowered his head, "But if you think about it carefully, haven't they already smashed the Russian fleet in Tianjin?" Isn't it already besieging Tianjin City? I'm really hoping that they'll reach out and give us a hand. Alas...... After all, compared to the Russians like tigers and wolves, after all, we are still closer to them, right? ”
"That's just wishful thinking." Yi Xin slowly stood up, listening to the rumbling cannon sound from the direction of Jingshan that began to sound again in the ear chakra, "Their army is still trapped in northern Henan and northern Lubei, and the direction of Tianjin is just a partial division, which does not play a big role, and is only used to scare people." Could it be that they really have other more powerful gods? ”
