Chapter 19: The Fighter (1)
The leader of the Boxer Rebellion who surrounded Langfang Station was named Cao Futian. Cao Futian was strong in martial arts, and many of his commanders were mostly his relatives and relatives, and his cohesion was very high, so he was able to maintain his independence when the Black Dragon Society was rapidly expanding its power.
For various reasons, while Cao Futian is friendly with the Black Dragon Society, he also has a good relationship with all the heroes on the border of Hebei. This time he attacked Langfang Station, and more than a dozen marshals around him jointly promoted him as the commander. His own subordinate force numbered more than 3,000 people, making him the most powerful Boxer force in the vicinity.
Although he led an incomparably strong force, Cao Futian did not have any arrogance in his heart. If the foreign devils were so easy to deal with, the two successive opium wars would not have been so badly defeated.
This dark-faced man in his thirties looked back at the enthusiastic faces behind him, and Gu Jing Wubo's mood couldn't help but ripple. These members are his relatives and old friends, and it can be said that he is a staunch supporter in the world.
If he could, he felt reluctant to throw them into a tough battle. In a series of previous skirmishes, these foreign devils had proven that their combat effectiveness far surpassed that of the Boxer militia. However, as a human being, there are all kinds of things that have to be faced and have to be done in this world.
Now the foreign soldiers in front of him were only 500 at first, but within a few days, a batch of reinforcements came, and the number changed from 500 to more than 1,000. Others here may not know yet. , but he knew very well that on the Tianjin side, the second wave of reinforcements from foreigners had also set out, and the number had reached three or four thousand.
In a short period of time, the number of foreign armies has increased several times. Now, although Zhang Decheng has led people to block the second wave of reinforcements from foreigners, who can guarantee that the foreigners will not send more troops? Can you still deceive yourself into thinking that foreigners are the only ones who can't do it?
Therefore, no matter whether it is a war in the future or if you have any other ideas, you must destroy these foreign soldiers today!
Cao Futian glanced into the distance, and those people from the Black Dragon Society were watching the situation here unabashedly. His heart moved, and he called a nephew of his own family, and whispered, so and so, and so and so and
After his nephew left, he collected his mind and waved his hand at the station in front of him occupied by dense foreigners, and the people who had been prepared behind him shouted loudly: "Kill the foreign demon!" ”
The sound of thousands of people chanting in unison resounded in the sky, and even Li Dayan and the others, who were watching the battle from a distance, also became solemn. However, Lin Meng, Chu He, and Chen Cheng didn't feel anything, or even if they felt it, it would never be what others in this era thought.
"Cao Futian is quite capable," Lin Mengchu nodded: "The morale under his command is not bad." ”
"This is natural, if you don't have some skills, how can you make such a big formation." Chen Cheng said: "But now the slogan of the Boxers is to eliminate the Qing Dynasty and destroy the foreigners, and it is only a matter of time before the Shangqing army and the foreigners are defeated. ”
"As long as we are all united," Li Dayan said unconvincedly, "it may not be possible."
Before the words were finished, there was already a loud killing noise at the station.
The soldiers of the Boxers were not brave, and these big men with red cloth bags on their heads, armed with rudimentary weapons, fearlessly rushed towards the station where the foreigners had built dense fortifications. Then they were put down on the way to charge by foreign guns like cutting wheat, even if there was that brave man, he could resist a dozen robberies without being hurt, but when they rushed out of the heavy gunsmoke, there were very few people behind them.
In the bystander of the girl and others, those people rushed forward like moths to a fire, and the corpses were scattered all over the field without flinching.
"Ah, Cao Degui rushed in!" Li Dayan suddenly said excitedly: "I know this person, he is the number one master under Cao Futian!" ”
That Cao Degui is really a good man, and his face does not change after several shots, and after dodging two rounds of shelling, he rushed into the back of the first fortification of the foreigners, and a big knife was waved, and the stumps and broken bodies flew in all directions. Dozens of people who followed behind also took advantage of the panic of the foreigners to follow in, and for a while, the sound of the collision of bayonets and broadswords continued to sound, making people think that they had returned to the era of cold weapons.
"Good!" Li Dayan applauded loudly again, and then shouted irritably, "Why don't the people in the back follow?" ”
Lin Mengchu turned his head and glared at this guy, and scolded: "Shut up and take a closer look!" ”
A low horn sounded in the rear of the sweeping Boxers, and one by one they moved forward, trying to break through the station in one go, but they were blocked by the cannon and rifle fire of the foreigners, and hundreds of people were beaten so that they could not raise their heads. Although the military discipline of the troops sent by the coalition forces is average, most of them are the elite of the various colonies who have fought for many years, and they put their guns in place quickly and accurately. A rain of bullets from the guns flooded the narrow path of attack.
The people in front can't go up, and the people behind are also blocked, so they can only do it there in a hurry. There were also some people who pushed long-range firepower such as bronze cannons and pine cannons to shoot at the foreigners' artillery, but they were destroyed one by one because of the gap in equipment and archery skills. The number of troops who can rush in is very small, after all, invulnerability is just talk, and most of them do not have the strength to carry bullets and charge hard.
Two quarters of an hour later, the sound of gold finally sounded in the rear of the Boxers, and the warriors of the Boxers retreated unwillingly.
Cao Futian looked at the retreating subordinates, and the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily. The first to rush in came back less than ten people, and the rest either fell in the way of the charge or were killed in the white-knuckle battle that followed.
The only good news is that Cao Degui came back alive. But when Cao Degui appeared in front of Cao Futian, this man who bravely won the three armies fell to the ground and cried loudly.
"Cry what cry! Arise, what you look like! Although Cao Futian was in terrible pain in his heart, he still reprimanded the strongman with grief: "How can there be immortals in war!" I'll just get back to this field next time! ”
"But second uncle, we have died so many people, and we are all sons of our Cao family." Cao Degui threw himself on the ground and refused to get up, crying: "I will chop and chop, chop to death one, two, I will chop again, hack to death more than a dozen foreign devils, even the blades are rolled up, but I still lost!" Whining! ”
Such a majestic man cried on the ground with a handful of snot and tears, which made onlookers feel compassion.
