Chapter 120: The First Battle of Guangxi Mansion
Why did the governor of Guangxi Province choose to escape, firstly, because he felt that Guangxi Prefecture could not stop the British attack at all, and secondly, even the governor Yuxiang had become a deserter, so why couldn't he do it?
The governor of Guangxi Prefecture had already packed up his valuables and was ready to leave this place of right and wrong immediately, but he would never have imagined that his team was already under Li Zhongju's full surveillance, and there was no possibility for him to come out of the east gate.

When the team of the governor of Guangxi Prefecture was less than three miles out of the mansion, they were surrounded by the army sent by Li Zhongju.
The governor of Guangxi Prefecture stepped out of the carriage with an embarrassed face and shouted loudly, "Who is so short-sighted that he dares to block the path of this official, how many heads do you have?" ”
No one answered him, and the governor of Guangxi Prefecture was even more angry, but he immediately found out that something was wrong, it stands to reason that no one in the city of Guangxi Mansion dared to stop him, and no one had the strength to stop him.
The governor of Guangxi Prefecture immediately carefully observed these people who surrounded him, and he was startled when he didn't know if he didn't see it.
How is this possible?
This army is so elite that both the equipment of the soldiers and the quality of the soldiers have caught up with the British army!!
This!
This??
The governor of Guangxi Prefecture was shocked and incomparable, his heart was full of countless doubts, he immediately lowered his posture and asked in a low voice, "This general, may I ask which army you are?" ”
The battalion commander of the Independent Regiment said angrily, "We are the army under the command of Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, please come with us, and these subordinates of yours will also go with us." ”
The governor of Guangxi Prefecture immediately said yes.
Subsequently, under the leadership of this battalion commander, the governor of Guangxi Prefecture obediently followed, not daring to delay and prevaricate in the slightest. Because he knew in his heart that it would be too easy for King Zhennan to clean him up, and he didn't need any reason, just by escaping from the battle, he would be finished.
Li Zhongju looked at the governor of Guangxi Prefecture kneeling in front of him, looking embarrassed, but he was not too angry in his heart, because Li Zhongju knew that being angry was to punish himself for other people's mistakes, and at the same time, in the entire Qing Dynasty, are there still few such officials?
Li Zhongju said lightly, "You bring a hundred taels of gold and go with the two servants." ”
The governor of Guangxi Prefecture immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately kowtowed, "Thank you, thank you." ”
In fact, in the eyes of the governor of Guangxi Prefecture, he may not be able to avoid criticism, and even be punished extremely severely. But Li Zhongju didn't, because Li Zhongju knew that there was no point in doing so.
Then Li Zhongju instructed Zhou Tiezhu to accept the Guangxi Fucheng with all his might, of course, all this was done in secret. But it was not enough to hide it from the people of the city, and certainly there was no need to hide it from them.
Wright no longer cared about anything in the city of Guangxi, he was still dreaming at this time. is dreaming of Guangxi Fucheng at your fingertips.
At this time, the mood of the people in the city of Guangxi was much better than before, at least they knew that there was a new army in the city, and this army would protect their personal safety and property safety from being violated.
Some people took the initiative to send military rations and salaries to the Zhenwu army, but Li Zhongju refused to accept all of them, because Li Zhongju did not want to leave the slightest bad influence on the residents of the city.
Moreover, there are indeed a lot of materials in the warehouse of the Zhizhou Mansion, which are definitely enough for the army for about half a month, and after half a month, the materials of the army should be transported to Yunnan.
And so the first day passed. Although the capital city of Guangxi seemed very tense at first, with the arrival of the army of the king of Zhennan, the atmosphere in the city seemed to be relaxed.
Because people believe that Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan, will create a myth again, defeat the enemy army, and raise the prestige of our country.
With the arrival of the next day, everyone in the city of Guangxi took the initiative to help the army of Zhennan Wang, but they were all told by Li Zhongju's subordinates that they did not need their help for the time being, but only asked them to pay attention to themselves to protect themselves, after all, the enemy's shells were not blind.
In the morning, after breakfast for the British army, the horn sounded in the sky, whining, giving people a heavy sense of oppression, almost making people at a loss.
The British troops walked out of the makeshift tent set up yesterday in an orderly manner, and Wright stood at the front of the line with high spirits. Wright used a telescope to see the unsteady Qing soldiers on the city wall of Guangxi Mansion, with a sneer on his face.
Wright pulled out the general's sword at his waist and shouted loudly with all his strength, "Advance, capture the capital city of Guangxi!" ”
"Yes, General." The earth-shattering answer voice made Wright even more happy, Wright felt really cool at this time, the most beautiful thing in life is to command thousands of troops and horses, and point out the battlefield.
Dreams are beautiful, reality is often cruel.
Li Zhongju saw that the British army on the opposite side had begun to attack, and Li Zhongju and the Zhenwu army did not panic in the slightest. Even in their eyes, all that welled up was teasing.
As for what Wright saw, it was just what Li Zhongju wanted Wright to see. Li Zhongju just wanted to use this method to confuse the other party, and only in this way could he give the other party the most fatal blow.
You must know that the most important mistake you can't make on the battlefield is to underestimate the enemy. To underestimate the enemy means to be complacent, and to be complacent means to be complacent, and to be complacent is to be far from defeat.
Wright had entered a state of incomparably arrogant self-esteem at this time, and even the entire British army had entered this incomparably terrible state of affairs.
With Wright's order, at this moment, the first battle between the Zhennan Wang army and the British army in Yunnan Province officially began.
When the British army was less than 100 meters away from the city wall, the Qing troops on the city wall were all evacuated, which made the British army even more disdainful.
The people of China are like this, they don't have the courage to fight, and they still think about the dream of a big country in the East, how is this possible.
This scene made the British soldiers even more excited, wouldn't it be better if they could not fight. Surrendering without a fight is the highest level of war.
However, the British army was destined to be disappointed, because they would never have imagined that at this time, there were already more than 6,000 troops of the king of Zhennan in the city of Guangxi. This army, regardless of its equipment or the quality of its soldiers, will not fall into their pockets.
Therefore, the British army must be very disappointed, very disappointed.
Boom!
As Li Zhongju pulled the trigger, indicating that the Zhennan army was about to confront the British army, Zhou Tiezhu was very excited to follow Li Zhongju's explanation in advance, and immediately led the brothers of the independent regiment to carry out the first wave of defensive tasks.
Bang bang bang, the machine gun of the M1 model of the Zhennan Army is blazing at a rate of thousands of rounds per minute. Most of the soldiers were also shooting like crazy with their S1 rifles.
In just an instant, the British army fell from heaven to hell, and it was a terrible hell.
