The venue of the meeting was located in the city tower on the Chongwen Gate, and I don't know if this Lu Benyuan wanted to deliberately show his identity or what.

Nuo is a big Chongwen gate, where instead of choosing the highest terrain, and very conspicuous place.

If it is in the era of cold weapons, the general stands here, and he can see the situation in the entire city with a sweep of his eyes, and it is still very conducive to the next command of the battle by setting up the headquarters here.

But now the cold weapons have long been eliminated, and the coalition forces outside the city have a large number of machine guns and cannons, regardless of whether the coalition forces know the situation in the city, as long as the resistance is stubborn, there will definitely be a toss here.

The number of horses and foot camps who came to the attic of the city gate was not large, only about 20 people.

Compared with the scale of the entire Zhili training army, there are only a small half of the people who have come here, and today's training army has 52 battalions and more than 10,000 troops.

It's just that in the early stage, because they were stationed in various places, and as soon as the war began, the command system was chaotic, resulting in some troops fighting and disappearing, while others did not receive orders, or directly retreated to other places on their own, and finally failed to come to the capital.

Military training is a relatively special existence in this era, it is the first achievement of the Qing court since the decision to reform the military, but the effect is not very ideal.

Strictly speaking, Wu Weijun can be regarded as a junior of military training, but the two cannot be compared.

There are two main sources of soldiers for military training: First, the elite is directly drawn from the green battalion and reorganized to form a training army. The second is that Yi Yong is a soldier, and he will bravely reorganize or expand the soldiers.

Because of its special status, the Zhili area was previously an important place for soldiers. Therefore, at the beginning of its establishment, it was directly adapted from the Huai Army. In the back, most of these people were soldiers recruited directly from the people.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it can be said that in addition to the Wuwei Army, the combat effectiveness of the Shenji Battalion, the Tiger God Battalion, and the Zhili Training Army is quite good.

But when it comes to weapons and equipment, the training side is not enough, whether it is the Wuwei Army, the Shenji Battalion, or the Tiger God Battalion, the army has a certain amount of Makqin heavy machine guns.

There are also those on the side of Zhili Lianjun, but they don't belong to Wang Sirui.

In the attic, most of the twenty-odd people were middle-aged generals in their thirties and forties, because they belonged to the same training army, and they were more familiar with each other.

And because Wang Sirui is new and knows that his number is not large, few people are willing to deal with him. Wang Sirui was also happy, hiding alone in the corner, listening to these pipe bands talking about things on the front line.

However, what surprised Wang Sirui the most was that although the Qing army was very backward in terms of intelligence, the news that the baggage team of the coalition army had been attacked twice still came out.

"Did you hear that? A group of people killed two foreigners' baggage teams in succession, and destroyed all the materials in the baggage teams, as a result, the current coalition army is about to attack the city, but they dare not spontaneously send troops. A general, who was nearly forty years old, said, with obvious excitement on his face, as if he felt that although he did not fight this battle, it was very enjoyable as long as he listened to it.

"Oh? And what's going on? Obviously, the general's voice attracted the other generals in the room, and some of the generals who had not heard of this matter stopped talking and took two steps closer to the middle.

"The old man has heard some about this matter, but it is not comprehensive." A general with slightly gray hair, but who didn't look much on the surface, nodded and said.

"Brother Ji Gao, such a big event, I'm afraid it's difficult for the coalition forces to admit it, right?" Another general wondered.

Who doesn't know the urine sex of the Qing army in these years? Even if you kill an enemy, you dare to report and annihilate ten people, although now everyone has heard that it destroyed the baggage of the entire baggage team, but none of them are in front of them, and no one has seen it with their own eyes.

Therefore, most people still think that this matter is just to listen to it and have fun, if it is really serious, in the end, I am afraid that I will die and I don't know how to die.

"The coalition forces don't admit it, but Brother Lu Min, have you ever heard anyone talk about this matter in the past two days in the capital?" Liu Jigao retorted.

Sun Lumin shook his head, he had also led his troops into the capital for two or three days, and he had indeed not heard anyone talk about it.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jigao continued: "This matter is not from within our army, and even the Holy Lord's side is not clear about this matter. This is what a friend of mine from Tianjin told me, and I heard that the coalition forces are also looking for that unit now, and they can't wait to divide their five horses into pieces and break them into thousands of pieces. ”

"Oh? Brother Ji Gao, this matter should be a top secret within the coalition forces, how did your friend know about it? Many people expressed their doubts.

The coalition army was about to attack the capital, but the baggage teams behind were attacked by the Qing army one after another. Even in order to stabilize their troops on the front line, it stands to reason that this matter has to be covered up as much as possible, and everyone who has no reason to make trouble knows it.

Obviously, most of the people present were a little suspicious of Liu Jigao's source of information, not some kind of gossip, and finally provoked everyone to laugh.

"Hmph, if this matter is groundless, how can the old man chew the root of his tongue here?" Liu Jigao was obviously a little angry, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with this group of people, but as soon as he thought of that incident, Liu Jigao could only endure it for the time being.

After calming down a little, Liu Jigao continued: "My friend is familiar with the foreman of the Tianjin wharf, and after the coalition forces occupied Tianjin, these laborers became their free labor. It can be said that it is not difficult to find out how many supplies the coalition forces move every day and where they are delivered, as long as you pay a little attention. ”

"Do you know how much supplies the coalition baggage team lost after being attacked twice?" Liu Jigao asked pretending to be high-minded.

The crowd shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

After seeing everyone's reactions, Liu Jigao continued with satisfaction: "There are nearly 1,000 rifles of various types, more than 200 shells, and more than 400,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

"Let's just put it this way, if it weren't for the fact that the materials of the coalition army were killed one after another, according to the progress of the coalition army, the worst at this time would be the soldiers coming to the city."

"Brother Ji Gao, how can the coalition forces sit idly by?"

"Oh, yes! Definitely! Liu Jigao found a stool at this time, with a posture of victory, and after slowly sitting down, Meimei took a sip of tea, and then continued to explain: "If the coalition forces sit back and watch, then this battle will not be fought?" It is said that this first time, that guy picked up a bargain. A battalion of Japanese men and horses escorted the baggage, and I don't know how many times they were attacked by the Boxers along the way, but in the end only a few dozen people remained.

This group of people took down these remnants of the defeated generals with a charge, and the sound of guns attracted a battalion of Russian troops stationed nearby to rest, and as a result, there was a craftsman who was extremely familiar with guns and cannons in this group, and he moved on these materials, and as a result, as soon as the Russian army carried them, more than 20 truckloads of materials exploded at the same time.

An entire battalion of Russian troops was wiped out, and a battalion of British troops who came behind also wanted to find any clues from these Russian troops. ”

'Hiss......' Hearing what Liu Jigao said, many people at the scene gasped, which was really unguardable.

Although this battle is suspected of speculation, for the follow-up battalion of Russian troops, this is a real annihilation, not to mention anything else, no one will do this on any of them. With this alone, the person who did it deserves their admiration.

"And what about later? What about the second time? ”

"This second time, it's even more incredible. The coalition army first sent a team of men and horses, escorting more than 40 truckloads of supplies to walk in front, followed by two battalions of Japanese troops, and there was also a battalion of Russian troops nearby following in the shadows.

As a result, instead of retreating, this group of men rose up to resist, first using the tactic of luring the enemy by surprise to lure this group of men and horses to other places, and then returning to destroy the baggage team, and at the same time making moves in this batch of supplies, resulting in the loss of half a battalion of men and horses by the two battalions of Japanese who followed closely behind.

Hearing that the coalition forces have gone crazy, they vowed to find this gang and avenge the dead coalition forces. However, no one has reported this matter for the time being, and no one has seen them, and so far, the coalition forces have not even known who the enemy is. Liu Jigao wiped his beard, as if an old monk was sitting still.

In fact, there are still some things that Liu Jigao did not tell everyone, that is, his so-called friend is not familiar with the foreman of Tianjin Port Power.

This friend of his is a complete traitor, and now the coalition forces are indeed crazy and want to find Wang Sirui's gang, but because it was night at the time of the incident, the people who fought with them were either dead, or because it was dark and they had not seen their true faces.

So I didn't know who the other party was, so the coalition army also issued a reward, but whoever killed these people was rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver, and the soldier was rewarded with 10 taels. But whoever is able to provide information, if the information is accurate, will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver.

Liu Jigao's friend just wanted Liu Jigao to inquire about who this group of people was, and take this opportunity to dedicate this information to the coalition army, in time, if the coalition army really broke through the city gate, at least Liu Jigao would not have to worry about his life.

(Next week, it's naked again, my heart, wow cool, wow cool!) By the way, I asked for recommended votes and collections here, and your little support is the greatest encouragement for me. Of course, if you have more money, you are also welcome to give a little tip...... ）
