Langfang is basically the territory of the Black Dragon Society.

Taking Handan as the starting point, it goes north through Xingtai, Weixian, Nangong, Zhaoxian, Shijiazhuang, Fuping, Laiyuan, Tengxian, Yangyuan, Huai'an, and Zhangjiakou, which is the main direction of the development of the Black Dragon Society. Langfang, the first line of Baoding is already the junction of the Black Dragon Society forces and other militia forces.

As a dynamic social organization that has recently risen strongly, teenagers and girls face a problem that all rising forces have to face, that is, the territory has been carved up. If they want to develop and grow, they can only take out the old forces.

And history tells us that all the old forces are unwilling to disappear from the stage of history. Then, various conflicts will break out between the new forces and the old ones. On a smaller scale, it is the activity of turf grabbing among dynamic social groups. In a big way, it's an imperialist war. That's how the First World War began.

With Miss Lin Mengchu's original intention, she wanted to uproot those corrupt old forces and wipe them out. It's just that it has only been developed for more than a year, and the strength of the Black Dragon Society in less than two years has not been able to do this. For so long, we can only choose the direction of development in a planned and focused way. In those places where the strength is still out of reach, and where the range of those cannons cannot be covered, it can only be "shelving disputes and developing together."

Langfang is a place of common development. This place is very close to the capital, and it is the place where the Beijing-Tianjin railway passes, and if the coalition forces want to attack the capital, this place is absolutely to be occupied.

Seymour himself was born in the Navy and had worked on warships all his life, so the work of the army was a bit unplayable. He led 500 people to set off, plus the later 600 reinforcements, a total of 1,100 people, and when he advanced to Langfang, he could no longer walk.

Although the weapons used by these more than a thousand coalition forces were much better than their opponents, their numbers were too small. If you line up and fight head-on, you can defeat ten times their number of militias. But now they were surrounded by twenty or thirty times as many enemies.

Looking out from the dispatch room of Langfang Railway Station, I saw that the surrounding ground was covered with armed men dressed in different ways. Seymour knew that the march into Beijing was about to fail, but the hardened veteran did not feel too much frustration in his heart.

In the history of the empire's conquest of the world, there have been cases of temporary defeats and defeats, as well as crushing defeats in which almost entire armies were wiped out. In the mountains of Afghanistan, the tragic situation of tens of thousands of troops was destroyed overnight, and once shocked the entire empire. However, now, the territory of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets is still spread all over the world, and it is still the most powerful country in the world.

So, the small loss now is nothing at all. As a vice admiral and nobleman, Seymour would not have had a bad impact on his reputation and career even if he failed to accomplish his goals here. Now he has more than 1,000 soldiers at his command to guard the station, and as long as the second wave of reinforcements follows, he can still be a hero who captures the enemy capital.

The station in Langfang is not very large, and the main buildings are two two-story western-style buildings, and Seymour's headquarters is built on the second floor of one of the western-style buildings. On the second floor of another western-style building were lined up with infantry guns carried by the coalition forces, and the gunners placed shells next to the infantry guns. This is a prohibited item in the artillery management regulations, and if it is hit by enemy artillery fire, the gun emplacements here and the artillery on the side will be blown up into the sky.

But now the enemy is just some mob, do they have artillery? Do you know what counter-battery is? Hmph, these yellow-skinned monkeys probably don't even have a few rifles, let alone artillery as a technical weapon. Seymour had spent a long time in China, and in his eyes, this old empire was just another Inca empire. If he was given enough troops, he could accomplish Pizarro's feats.

Of course, he still admits that there are some differences between this old empire and the Inca Empire. For example, the general Yuan Shikai he knew was still half a civilized person. However, what was standing in front of him now was not the Beiyang Army led by Yuan Shikai, but just some armed civilians with big swords and spears.

There were not many cases of 1,100 cases, and after the entire railway station was occupied, there were no extra troops to deploy outside the station, but fortunately, the task of these soldiers was not to attack, they just had to defend the stronghold.

On a small mound not far from Langfang Railway Station, Lin Mengchu was taking more than a dozen cavalrymen to watch the form here.

"Tell me," the girl said to the people behind her, "Can these militias take this station?" ”

Following the girl, the girl in the girl was the nearest Chen Cheng is Li Dayan, who is the head of the Five Tiger Generals of the Black Dragon Society, and now this former local tyrant, the local underworld leader, and the cult leader, has completely lost the funny and ridiculous appearance of the past. Although his body is still a little short and stocky, after more than a year of fighting and training, his fierce aura is better than ever.

Hearing the girl's question, Li Dayan first glanced at Chen Cheng, and only after seeing that the young man had no intention of answering, he replied: "I think it is difficult for the Boxers to capture this station. ”

"Oh, how do you say?"

"The most basic principle of war is to fight more and less, and to attack the weak with the strong. Although the number of Boxers is large now, this station is not large, and the number of troops that can be deployed is only a few thousand, and it is useless to have more. As for the strength and weakness, hmph," Speaking of this, Li Dayan showed a contemptuous look on his face, "Those guys are just a group of rabble, and their weapons are not good, no, it should be said that they have no weapons that can be used for long-range strikes except for knives and guns, and no matter how you look at it, they don't look like they can win." ”

In the past year, Li Dayan has often fought against these spontaneously organized militia groups. He knows what kind of goods these guys are, and it is just a good fight, once there are large casualties, it will immediately be the end of the collapse of the whole army. However, these guys are all local snakes, often rout but not defeated, and then come out again after a few days. Let him run back and forth, tired and tired for a long time.
