Don't care about the palace infighting in Rehe, Zhangjiawan.

The Anglo-French army once again ushered in reinforcements from three infantry regiments, including two British regiments and a French infantry regiment, and also followed by a French artillery battalion.

Saxton was overjoyed to see the reinforcements, three regiments, that is a strength of 5,000 people, the current strength of the Anglo-French army in Zhangjiawan is close to 15,000 people, although there are still not as many Qing soldiers, but the victory is in the advanced weapons, more than 10,000 guns, dozens of heavy artillery, plus some small infantry guns, 15,000 people are enough to run rampant throughout China!

Saxton said hatefully: "This time, we will no longer divide our troops, concentrate the main force, and attack Yang Zha with all our strength through the double bridge, I want to see what else that Guo Ye can do to block our army!" ”

The British and French forces of more than 10,000 began to approach Yangzha.

The news has already reached Yang Zha.

At this time, Monk Lingqin and others had already received the holy decree of Xianfeng's stern reprimand.

Monk Greenqin looked at Guo Ye and smiled bitterly: "Guo Ye, you said that you deserve to be an official, every time the emperor has just promoted you, you will poke out some baskets, promote two levels, and demote two levels, are you playing swing?" ”

Guo Ye's face was a little embarrassed, too, you said this step, is it easy for Lao Tzu? First defeated the British and French coalition forces and Dagukou, and then promoted an officer, and then in the negotiations, retreated from the persecution of the British, American, French and Russian countries, and promoted another official, this time, first beat the Russians to the wind, and then fought in Tongxian County, and in the end, ******, or a general soldier, Lao Tzu wants to get a governor and governor in his hands, but why is it so difficult? As long as you become a feudal official, you can do whatever you want.

Guo Ye replied: "Okay, Lord Wang, after taking my position as admiral, let's get it, anyway, it is not my dream to be promoted and make a fortune, the most important thing in front of me is how to fight the battle in front of me, there are more and more reinforcements from the British and French alliances, and our pressure will be increasing, and it is not a long-term solution for us to stick to it, we must change the situation as soon as possible." ”

Monk Lingqin said helplessly: "If you don't stick to it, what else can you do?" Are we still thinking of attacking directly? We still have too few firearms, and before we can get close to them, the army has already suffered casualties, how can this battle be fought? ”

When several people were discussing countermeasures, He Qimou sent back information from the territory of Kuoxian, and the Anglo-French army sent reinforcements from Tianjin again, almost 5,000 people, carrying a large number of artillery, had entered the territory of Kuoxian County, and was heading in the direction of Zhangjiawan!

Kuoxian, that is to say, it is less than two hundred miles away from Yangzha! Such a short distance is only afraid that it can be reached within two days, and it will be able to reach Zhangjiawan to Yangzha, which is only one day, and the time left for the Qing army to prepare is less than five days!

Monk Greenqin's face became solemn, and Ruilin on the side was even more pale, and he added 5,000 troops, just the Anglo-French alliance army in Zhangjiawan, the Qing army could not be defeated, and then 5,000, the Qing army was definitely not an opponent, this was a gap in strength!

Monk Lingqin asked, "Guo Ye, look, how do we deal with it next?" ”

Guo Ye frowned slightly, this battle was getting harder and harder. But, no matter what, the battle must be won, and it must be won!

Guo Ye muttered: "Fight, we must fight, this time, we also have to give up positional warfare, positional warfare, we are definitely not opponents, foreigners' artillery is not something that we, the green battalion army, can resist......"

Monk Lingqin frowned slightly, and suddenly felt a burst of soreness in the shoulder blades of his back, and shouted: "Eh, Guo Ye, you come to beat the back of this king, harder!" This old injury is really terrible......"

Guo Ye hurriedly stood up, he was taken care of by the monk king, and he regarded himself as a junior on weekdays, and asked, "Lord Wang, what's the matter?" ”

Monk Greenqin sighed: "When I was young, I participated in an uprising to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, but the back was slashed twice by the bandits, and the bones were injured, and when it was cloudy, it would be sore and unbearable, and this time it was even more unbearable, I was afraid that this heavy rain was coming......

Heavy rain is coming?

Now it is the hot summer of June and July, and the child's face is changing in June!

Guo Ye's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, this time, I'm afraid that even God has come to help us." ”

Monk Greenqin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Guo Ye, what do you mean?" ”

Guo Ye asked, "Lord Wang, you said that the rainy weather can last for a few days?" ”

Monk Lingqin shook his head and replied, "Now that the sky is about to be cloudy outside, I'm afraid it won't be sunny for a few days......"

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Ah, Lord Wang, this weather is critical, during the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge borrowed the east wind to burn Chibi, but this time, we have to use Lianyu to break the British and French alliance!" ”

Monk Greenqin, Shengbao and Ruilin were shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Guo Ye, what do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "Lord Wang, two adults, it's very simple, the muskets used by the British and French forces now, the bullets are all paper shells, once it encounters rainy weather, it will be damp, if the gunpowder is wet by the rain, how can it be used?" Even if it can be used, it is still a series of failures, affecting the accuracy and range, without the musket, the combat power of the British and French forces is equivalent to half of the waste! Then we now have a large number of cavalry, and we will be afraid of them? ”

Monk Lingqin was overjoyed and asked, "Guo Ye, are you sure about this?" ”

Guo Ye beckoned, a soldier walked over, Guo Ye shouted: "Go to the warehouse and take out a box of foreigners' bullets and take it for inspection!" ”

After a short time, the soldiers brought up a box of bullets, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, almost all the bullets inside were paper shells.

Guo Ye printed a sip of tea and squirted a mouthful towards the bullet, a mist shone on the bullet, and the paper bullet case slowly became wet, obviously penetrating into the gunpowder and could not be used!

Guo Ye laughed and shouted: "Lord Wang, this is a godsend, we don't need the British and French forces to attack, we, we have to find an opportunity to attack the British and French forces!" This time, the Anglo-French forces must be scrapped! ”

Monk Greenqin is overjoyed, sure enough, the five elements are mutually restrictive, water can overcome fire, this is the truth between heaven and earth!

Guo Ye shouted: "Lord Wang, we must immediately recall He Qimou, his 1,000 cavalry is elite, and we will have to borrow more in the next big battle!" ”

Monk Lingqin nodded and shouted: "Come on, immediately fly and ride to give an order, summon He Qimou to lead the cavalry battalion of the personal guards to return to the vicinity of Shuangqiao immediately, and prepare to participate in the battle, Guo Ye, it is still the same as last time, you come to plan all military affairs, even if you command the head of this king, there is absolutely no second word!" ”
