Chapter 241: A Moment of Gold (II)
When Chenglan came out in embarrassment, he saw a part of the right officers and soldiers transporting materials and building them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He doesn't know anything about military affairs, so he can't see what he's doing. It wasn't until he arrived with his troops that he found that the entire Rouge Hutong had changed.
In front of them, there were rows of fences, horsebacks, and one-meter-high breastworks and barricades. Behind these fortifications, there are right officers and soldiers holding rifles, waiting for battle, and on the artillery position, the cannons have been stripped of their cannons, and the muzzles of the black holes are facing the outside, and they are in a state of firing at any time.
There are more troops stationed here than he has just seen, and it is clear that they have received reinforcements. There are a few old soldiers who lead the troops in the rear army of the armed guard, and they can be seen at a glance. This kind of fortification is what the foreigners are accustomed to repairing, and after it is completed, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they lack heavy weapons, so in the face of so many sharp guns and the right army protected by fortifications, I am afraid that it will be difficult to eat.
As for the Flying Tiger Regiment, they didn't understand this, but when they saw the guns and bayonets, they knew that they were not very easy to fight, and Cheng Lan said angrily: "What are you afraid of, I don't believe it, they dare to shoot!" ”
Before the words fell, Huo Qiu had already shouted: "According to the order of the two palaces, the right army of Wuwei assists the infantry army to lead the yamen to press the ground, and if there are bandits who take advantage of the fire to rob, they will all be killed." Infantry, get ready! ”
The dense drum beats, the front row of infantry raised their guns in unison, looking at Cheng Lan and his party, their eyes were full of awe-inspiring murderous aura, as long as the other party moved slightly, they would not hesitate to pull the trigger.
The leading officer of the Wuwei Rear Army pulled Chenglan and said, "Lan Gong, you hide back, this is really too dangerous." As soon as they shoot, you're a target. ”
Although Cheng Lan wanted to take revenge and win the United States, he was a little scared when he saw so many guns. Zhao Guanhou's determination and courage exceeded his expectations, for the sake of fame, but he went out of everything, and he did not hesitate to scratch his face and fight with himself in Beijing. With the current manpower, it seems that they really can't eat them. However, he retreated, and he was unwilling, so he had to wave his hand and order the rear army to line up outside, in an encirclement posture, and confront the right army of Wuwei who was guarding this area.
Some bold people, watching the excitement from a distance, whispered, "Yang Cuiyu came out of the cabinet today, and Lan Gong brought so many soldiers and horses to her as a protector?" I don't know who has such a big face inside, I enjoy the beauty inside, but I let Lan Gong be a guard outside. ”
In Fengyi's class, Duan Xiangyan just sang a piece of Hongluanxi, raised his wine glass again, and toasted Zhao Guanhou and Yang Cuiyu. Last time, he was almost directly dismissed by Yuan Weiting because of the unfavorable rescue of Shen Jinying, and now he remains in office with the title of manager, and his authority is not as good as before. I had to try my best to stammer Zhao Guanhou and expect him to say a few good words for himself, so that he could return to his original position as soon as possible.
He was originally ordered to lead troops to press the ground and arrest the illegal boxers, but after hearing about the fight in Fengyi's class, he immediately brought a battalion of the headquarters to reinforce him, and brought a large number of engineering materials. The fact that the fortifications outside were built so quickly was due to the soldiers' lives and the fact that he provided the materials. In addition, although his ability to lead the troops is mediocre, his skills in the wind and snow are first-class, blowing, playing and singing are all fine, with him, the atmosphere is not bad, and those who come to congratulate the girl who flirt and scold can deal with it easily.
Jiu Ma secretly went outside once, and when she saw the arrangement of the right army, her heart was already half cold. It seems that Cuiyu and Lan Gong have no hope after all, and they quietly hid the misty spring wine, and finally had to splash it.
Seeing that it was not early, Zhao Guanhou raised his glass, "I drank this cup for Cuiyu, and then we won't drink it." I drank a lot today, it's not good to drink again, Xiangyan, you support me outside, and when I turn back, I will protect your future. After speaking, she pulled the crimson Yang Cuiyu back to her bedroom, leaving Duan Xiangyan outside to deal with everything.
Today is Yang Cuiyu's exit from the pavilion, Fengyi's class only does her business alone, and the courtyard that used to be extremely noisy is now extremely quiet. I could only hear the sound of the huqin, laughter, and gunfire in the distance.
Yang Cuiyu's face was crimson, her body was soft, and she was almost carried back to the room by Zhao Guanhou. After she sat down, she asked, "The movement outside, but there is a war again?" ”
"Eighty percent is, I guess it's the other side of Dongjiaomin Lane that is firing again. But without a cannon, it's impossible to get in. They are sent to death, and nothing can be done. Today is a good day for us, ignore them and let them toss. Come, let's talk. ”
Jade smiled, took out the sharp dagger from her body, and put it back in the drawer. "I finally didn't use it, I originally thought that we were going to say goodbye forever, but I didn't expect that God still had pity on me after all."
Zhao Guanhou took the red hijab from the box and covered it for her, and picked it up with a weighing rod, just like an ordinary person marrying a wife. After completing this ceremony, he sat down beside Jade and said, "Actually, even if I don't come today, you shouldn't use a knife to do stupid things. I don't want you to die for the sake of foolish chastity, I care more about your person, your heart, than about your integrity. Cheng Lan is a clan and is in power, if I don't arrive today, you are powerless to resist and submit to him, and there is nothing wrong with it, how can you think that I will not want you because of this kind of thing. ”
"That'...... So if you don't come today, and I give in to him, you won't blame me? Jade Shui Lingling's big eyes looked at Zhao Guanhou, and the latter nodded, "Of course, I'm not those vulgar things, and I don't care about those." In fact, speaking of which, with your fame and talent, it is not difficult to find a good man, but if you follow me, you will suffer. You know my situation, there are both a main room and ten squares in the house, and I can't guarantee whether you will be angry......"
Cuiyu's face was red, and she bit her lower lip gently, "I'm not afraid, Cuiyu was born to be a hard-working person, as long as you are willing to want me, I will make you small." No matter how much I suffer, I am not afraid. Today I offended Chenglan, this bowl of rice can no longer be eaten, but I am not afraid, it is just a death, if you put this aside, what is there to be afraid of. If you don't want to take me in, I won't force you...... You've got your problems, I know"
"How could not? After these three days, I will tell the ninth mother to take you away. If she dares to say a word, I will rob people! ”
Cuiyu sneered, "You, just one glare, it is estimated that Jiu Ma will be scared to death, this matter is not difficult to discuss." But you have to stay with me for three days, I can't believe it. Now that the war in Beijing is so urgent, can you stay with me for three days? ”
"No matter how urgent the war in Beijing is, I always have to accompany you, this war is what Lafayette wants to fight, not what I want to fight, why should I let you be wronged for her arrangement. Now you're the bride, you're the biggest. It's a pity that the Flying Tigers are in Beijing, and the photo studio can't be found, otherwise we should have left a group photo. I have a photo with Han Zhi, Shi Gege, Jensen, and Mei Yao, and we should have one too. ”
Yang Cuiyu's eyes were a little more misty, and it was only at this time that she finally believed that what this man coveted was not her appearance, but that he really had affection for her. For a woman like her, to meet such a good match is the creation of the three lives, and she is willing to suffer many grievances for him in the future.
She gently spread a white cloth, for her, the meaning of this thing is extremely important, born in Qinglou, as long as she relies on this to prove that she has given his complete self to him. At least in the years to come, no matter how much cold eyes or gossip there are, she has to let this man know that she is loyal and persistent.
Although she has no experience, she has received relevant training in Qinglou, and she is not comparable to those ordinary women, and she is confident that she can cope with the next scene. But she still blushed and said softly: "You have to pity the jade tonight, don't let me be embarrassed in front of my sisters, and ...... Let me give you another baby. I will be your woman, be good, and give you a son. ”
On the other side, Jiu Ma closed the door and quietly sorted out her savings, counting all the income over the years. Most of the debts owed outside are dead debts and do not need to be repaid. Some people owe their own debts, and they are afraid that they will not be able to do it.
Finally, I have saved so much cash in my hands, and when I get to Shandong, maybe it will not be difficult to get another team. It's just that how many girls under his command are willing to go with them, and even if they want to go, how can they go? Looking at the direction of the embroidery building, she spat on the ground, "Something that loses money!" I was going to expect you to make a windfall, but I planted a big heel in you, and I saw that you would cry in the future. ”、
This war between men and women is accompanied by the gentle shaking of the stepping bed, and the sweet chanting of the woman as thin as a pipe. Along with the war, there are pieces of peach blossoms falling, full of romance and happiness. On the other hand, there is only brutal death and despair, far less than the warmth of the place.
Outside Dongjiaomin Alley, the fire is dazzling like a fire dragon, and the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of golden drums and guns are mixed together, stirring up the capital restless. More than 10,000 members of the Flying Tiger Regiment joined forces with the Wuwei Rear Army and launched a frantic attack on the embassy area of Dongjiaomin Lane. Since Zhao Guanhou, who was supposed to assist in the attack, was engaged in another war in Wenrou Township, the rear army of Wuwei could only bombard the embassy with the light earthen artillery they carried.
The power of those earthen cannons was too small to blow through the heavy courtyard walls, and the high-rise building between the embassy and the club was bombarded by the earthen cannons for half a day, and the building still did not fall. The foreign soldiers above fired roll call with their rifles, and the rear army attacked several times, but they were all blocked.
The foreign cannons and rifles in the embassy formed a dense network of fire, like the Grim Reaper opening its arms and embracing every intruder. The Flying Tigers rushed several times in a row in a way that young children take the lead and adults press back. Countless deaths and injuries among young children were infrequent, but the casualties among adults were very limited.
They were frightened by the gunfire and did not dare to charge again, but only emphasized that "the battle can't be fought like this, the foreigners have a powerful demon law, and there are old demons in it, so that the demon magic has damaged our magical powers." You have to invite a few powerful masters to come over and take charge, otherwise you won't be able to win against them. ”
Another person said: "It's all traitors, it's been so long, there is no shortage of food, guns and ammunition in the foreigners' embassy, and there are cannonballs in the cannons, so there must be traitors sending them to them." If you don't hold the traitors, how can this place be breached? ”
Dong Wuxing knew that it was the old queen mother in the palace who sent food, fruits, and cannonballs to the embassy. On the one hand, she wanted to declare war with foreigners, but on the other hand, she still sent people to receive fruits and vegetables, guns and bullets, obviously to prepare for future peace talks, and she and the rear army could only be regarded as abandoned children.
Thinking that if the peace talks started in the future, his rear army would become a scapegoat, he was so angry that he personally led the team to rush twice, and he was almost shot, so he had to retreat. He also found that his military guards and rear troops were not as heroic as usual, and they were looking forward and backward when attacking. Even if it is his own cronies, the steps when attacking are not as brisk as in the Western Regions, and they have less of the indomitable courage to die.
He knew in his heart that most of these people had made a fortune during this period, and when they had money, they had selfishness, thinking that they could enjoy it after they went back, and they didn't want to give their lives here in a confused way. When attacking, there is no confidence, and the plan to rely on the number of people to win is most likely to fail.
Li Laizhong's face was also ugly, he was counting on the Flying Tiger Regiment to fight the world, but now he was already a little disobedient to his dispatch. Looking at these push committees, they were afraid and did not dare to come forward. This is completely different from the righteous teacher who swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger in his imagination, and finally swept away the Jurchen Tatars and recovered the rivers and mountains of the Han family. And they are cowardly in the face of foreigners, but they are extremely brave when they loot large merchants, and even their own orders now dare to resist.
Could it be that he really created a monster that was already going to attack its owner in turn? Li Laizhong shook his head, this kind of idea is too ridiculous, no matter what, this is a group of stubborn and stupid peasants, what can't be controlled. The immediate priority is still the embassy of these foreigners.
He gritted his teeth and pointed to the wall of King Su's mansion, "Concentrate all the artillery and hit me there." The foreigners' houses are all steel bricks, and our artillery is useless, and there is still a hope for the collapse of the wall here! ”
The shelling continued until the early morning of the next day, when the walls of Suwang's Mansion were finally blasted open, and the parishioners who were hiding there fled to several surrounding embassies to hide, and the Wuwei rear army finally won a victory. Dong Wuxing also breathed a sigh of relief, the night's battle was always in vain, and there was finally a flaw in the foreigners' defense line. The next thing to do is to ask the court for gunpowder and iron sand, plus a reward of money and food, and then expand the results of the war.
His soldiers fought hard all night, the people were sleepy and the horses were tired, and the Flying Tiger Regiment was even more indurable to fight, and at this time they had already found a place to sleep. Dong Wuxing instructed the Chinese army around him, "Go, call the people around Chenglan, they are a new force, at this time, you have to see them show their faces." ”
When the sun fell on the land of the capital, Chenglan watched the soldiers and the people leave, and there were only a few people left in the mansion around him. The soldiers and horses on the opposite side are still the same, the formation is tight, the sunlight reflected by the bayonets and cannons, thinking that the night has passed, everything has been harmonized, and he sat on the ground dejectedly, and pounded the ground with his hands, "It's over, it's all over!" (To be continued.) )
