Before the soldiers arrived, the people's hearts were in turmoil, and outside the county yamen, the minister who urged the driver fell to his knees. The pen and the fun www.biquge.info and the pavilion urged Ci Jia to leave as soon as possible, so as not to be chased by foreign soldiers, and the catastrophe was in front of him. Even the Chenglian brothers, at this time, they can't care about feeling self-harm, but they also have to hand over the book tightly and ask Lafayette to drive west quickly. It's not hard to imagine, after all, the holy car doesn't move, and they have no reason to do the thirty-six tricks, and it is more self-beneficial to urge the emperor and the country as soon as possible, who will refuse?

In the back hall of the county yamen, Han Rong, Wang Wenzhao, Gang Lie, Zhao Shu and Prince Shiduo, who had just come to protect him, were all there, and everyone's face was full of gloomy clouds, and they couldn't come up with a good way to deal with the foreign soldiers who were about to chase them.

Cixi just had a good mood, and was completely destroyed by this bad news, and now she can't do without smoke bubbles every day, without the support of smoke bubbles, she has no energy to work, and she can't resist the pain. At this time, she had just finished smoking, and when she was in good spirits, her voice was particularly powerful.

"Ma Yulun and Cen Chunxuan, the two people can't even guard the pass, what are they doing? How many soldiers are there in the hair? Why can't you stop people? ”

Ganglie said: "Lafayette, our army is newly defeated, morale is low, and the food and salary are scarce, and the grain platform is not enough, and the opponents are the guards and Cossacks in the Tiele army. These two troops are first-class elite soldiers among the foreign soldiers, and it is reasonable that we can't stop them. ”

"Tie Le Bing? Didn't Zhang Shaoquan take the Tiele military ship to Jinmen? Why are the Tiele people still chasing after them? ”

Han Rong said: "Lafayette, the Tiele people have no faith and ambition, and they are really the first-class enemies in all countries. You must not have the slightest good thought towards them, and since they are pursued, they must fight. However, you are too dangerous here, you should still drive to Xuanhua, go to Taiyuan through Zhangbei, and then order the governor of Shanxi, Yuxian, to send troops to the king of Qin. ”

"Shanxi heard that a batch of ordnance was released, and the officers and soldiers also came to two battalions, which have been brought under the command of Zhao Guanhou. I also know that this Huailai County can't be guarded, but if we start driving now, we may be caught up by foreigners on the road, how can this be good? Those foreign soldiers are horse teams, faster than us, and our canes can't outrun their horses. ”

The ministers can't say that the queen mother and the emperor can ride horses, and Cixi's worries are also reasonable, Huailai County has a city wall, if you go from here, you encounter foreigners in the wilderness, it is probably a situation of death and no life.

Han Rong had already learned that if his daughter and pet were not rescued by Zhao Guanhou, they would have been ashamed of Tie Le Bing, and hated these people to the core, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Lafayette, the slave is willing to lead the troops to stay in the palace and meet the foreigners." Even if he dies on the battlefield, he will definitely not take half a step back. As long as the minions are there, the foreigners will not offend your royal drive. ”

Cixi nodded, "You are indeed loyal, but your body is not as good as it was at the beginning. If you were twenty years younger, I would have left this battle to you, and now I can't call your generals. There is no grain in Huailai, all the grain and grass are supplied by the outside world, once the foreigners besiege the city, this is a dead place. In my opinion, we can only go north first, and when the foreigners chase after us, we will catch up with the foreigners and fight to the death. If you can go, of course, it is the blessing of your ancestors, if you can't leave, it is also fate, and I, an old woman, entrust my life to you, the ministers, and those soldiers outside! ”

When several military planes heard this, they knelt down at the same time and kept kowtowing. Han Rong said: "Lafayette rest assured, ministers, I am willing to share the glory and disgrace with the two palaces!" ”

When the military plane dispersed, Emperor Tianyou's face flushed with a hint of ruddy, "Dear father, you are old and can't let you take risks." If the foreigner comes, you must leave quickly, and leave the matter of supervising the war, and your son can do it. Even if you die, I can't put you in danger. ”

Cixi smiled and shook his head, "Silly boy, you don't understand. Now this situation, we must rely on the people's hearts, if I don't say so, the soldiers below have no bottom in their hearts, this battle is not fought, we will lose thirty percent. All I said was that we would live and die with them, and these soldiers would die for us. But when it's time to fight, we change our clothes and leave first, and no one will know. The ministers below will not put us in danger. At that time, there will definitely be people begging us to leave, let's just push the boat down the river, remember, when you become an emperor, you can't tell all the lies, you can't tell the truth, you have to learn to judge the situation. ”

She looked out the window again, "This time, it depends on Zhao Guanhou's ability." Han Rong has the heart to sacrifice his life, but unfortunately he doesn't have that talent, he can't command the troops. These right troops are Zhao Guanhou's soldiers, it depends on whether he can block people. ”

"Dear father, my son heard that Zhao Guanhou has been killing people very fiercely recently. The soldiers of the rear army, the Shenji Battalion, and the Tiger God Battalion were all wiped out by him, and the foreign battalions of Qinwang soldiers were also used by him as masters, which seemed to be too domineering. ”

"Why don't I know what you're talking about? But he killed it right, Dong Wuxing's soldiers were originally robber soldiers, and now he has died again, most of his generals and cronies have been killed, and no one restrains this group of robbers. Stay around, I don't know when something big will happen, I want to kill them, and there is no reason to serve the public. Zhao Guanhou did it, it was more appropriate than me, I don't blame him. Besides, now he can only be encircled, not reprimanded, otherwise he will have a lifetime of resentment in his heart, and our mother and mother will be in danger immediately. All around us are his soldiers, and we must be cautious in everything we do, and we must learn to act. Fortunately, with Yuqing here, the drama of Ming Jun and Xianchen can be played, and I can also watch him. Whether it is Zhao Yun who protects the country or Cao Cao who usurps power, you can know at a glance, wait until you know that he is red-faced and white-faced, and then slowly manipulate him. ”

"My son heard that Dong Wuxing's death was a bit strange, at that time, no one found out that there were foreign soldiers at the city gate, why was he suddenly shot."

Cixi sneered, "When this army is in chaos, there are the most strange things. After all, he is dead, and it is not worth walking with such a big brain with a dead man. If he doesn't die, I'm going to use him now, and now that he's dead, some of the blame can be put on him, and the burden on us will be lighter. So, he died a good death. Don't think about him, think about ourselves, how to get through the current level. ”

Han Rong went out of the yamen and came directly to Zhao Guanhou, unlike in the past, although the two were confidants in the past, they were also superiors and subordinates. Since knowing the beginning and end of Fuzi's rescue, Han Rong's attitude towards Zhao Guanhou has become extremely close, as if he is the first cronie around him. After the meeting, get straight to the point

"Guanhou, I won't hide it from you, this time the two palaces are driving, and your burden is the heaviest. Behind us were the Cossacks and the Guards, several thousand men. I never expected that Ma Yulun and Cen San were so useless, they couldn't stop it for two days, and the city was broken by the foreigners, and only some remnants of the defeated army were left to retreat, which caught us off guard. Are you sure that you will fight this battle? Whatever you need, just ask, as long as I have, I'll give it to you. ”

In order to be grateful to Zhao Guanhou, Han Rong had already given Zhao Guanhou all the revolvers and mini guns he had mastered. According to what he said, it is useless for these people to carry good guns, soldiers who can only run, and they are not worthy of using good guys, so it is better to be useful for Zhao Guanhou's soldiers. In addition, he also tried his best to take care of the food and equipment, and the batch of ordnance released from Shanxi could also be picked by the right army first, and the rest would be distributed to others.

Zhao Guanhou smiled, "Zhongtang, I am not polite to you, according to the speed, let's go, the foreigners will chase, and they will catch up halfway." Expecting to go smoothly to Xuanhua is something that cannot be done. The soldiers over there in Xuanhua, even if they come to King Qin, they are of no use. This battle will have to rely on the right army to sell their lives, and there is nothing to say about sacrificing one's life for the country, but this reward ......"

"I understand, don't worry, I'll go and hand over the sign in a while, and there will be a bounty down."

In fact, Zhao Guanhou and these horses have made a windfall in recent days. Among the eight battalions, Wang Dexian's battalion was stationed in Baoding to guard the treasures, and the other seven battalions relied on killing the rebels, plus killing Dong Wuxing and robbing his private collection, and the gains were extremely rich.

But this kind of opportunity belongs to the village without this store, and taking advantage of the opportunity to collect money is also for the future Wuwei Right Army to save money, so Zhao Guanhou's attitude is to have more and the better, and take it if you have money. The gentry in the city had already gotten the news and began to flee in all directions, and the people in the countryside also learned from the government that Tiele Bing was a big demon who ate people and did not spit out bones. While preparing to drive, Zhao Guanhou ordered people to block the wells and clear the wilderness.

Jiang Fengzhi walked up to him and said, "We have fought Tie Lebing, it is very powerful, promise me that you are not allowed to take risks." I still...... Not yet...... In short, you are not allowed to play with your life. ”

Zhao Guanhou took her hand and said, "Senior sister, when I said I wanted to take a risk, I was referring to this." If there are no foreigners chasing after me, my credit is great, and it is not great. The more dangerous it is, the more I can show my ability. Ma Yulun's qualifications are much older than mine, and he is a general, how is this time? It's not that he's dismissed from his post and waiting to be served, and the remnants of his army are all under my command. As for Cen San, he doesn't dare to see me now, isn't there a war. If you don't take some risks, you can't have any of this. I'm very careful myself, like you said, the two of us haven't ...... yet How can I be willing to die. ”

Jiang Fengzhi's face turned red, and he blocked his mouth with his hand, "What nonsense." If you want to, I'll give it to you today. But I don't allow you to joke with your life, maybe the foreigners won't chase you. The two palaces didn't eat or drink, and the foreigners didn't eat or drink, maybe they ran out of strength when they caught up with Huailai, and they went back. ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, he didn't think that the Tiele people would cherish the soldiers so much, and besides, the ability of those troops to endure hardships was not comparable to that of the golden soldiers. The lack of food and water may lead to collapse for the Jin soldiers, and for these Tiele elites, it can only be regarded as a little obstacle, and if they really want to retreat, they still have to rely on a knife and a gun.

The dragon flag of Juyongguan has been replaced by the black eagle flag. Close and close, there are dead bodies of Jin Bing everywhere. All the captives, including those who surrendered, were not given preferential treatment, and the officers among them were executed first, and the soldiers were forcibly requisitioned to serve as coolies to lead the way and carry food for the Tiele soldiers. Heavy labor and torture, people fall every day. Even the Tiele people will kill people as long as they want to. Jin Bing, who was accustomed to surrendering and fleeing for his life on the battlefield, realized at this time that the enemy he encountered was different from the past, and the way to save his life in the past was ineffective.

After learning the news of Andrei's troops, the countries were in an uproar, and for the countries, they actually did not want to kill Cixi and Tianyou. They also wanted to keep the Jin Kingdom under their rule so that they could control the country themselves. If Tiele acts without authorization and holds the two palaces hostage to demand separate preferential conditions, the other countries will naturally not sit idly by.

Small countries aside, large countries such as Albion have also taken a tough stance on this issue, repeatedly demanding the withdrawal of front-line troops. The commander of Tieler, Linivich, could not afford to be angry, so he had to pretend to send a few heralds, but in fact he had told them to inform Andrei that he did not need to pay attention to the rear and advance at full speed.

But after sending a batch of supplies, he was also told that this was all he could provide. Catch the Queen Mother before the countries intervene in fact, and he will receive a medal. Otherwise, what awaits him is transfer to the reserve or to a military court.

Andrei rode on a tall white horse, looked at Merekhov on the other side and said, "What the hell! Why can't we see a single person along the way, and we can't get supplies? I know that you Cossacks can smell with your nose where there is food and where there is water. Hurry up and smell it, help us find something to eat, I'm fed up. ”

Unlike the pampered Guards, the Cossack cavalry still maintained the characteristics of the nomadic era, and had an extraordinary tolerance for harsh environments. Their bags of dry food contained salted lard, yogurt, brioche bread and some jerky, and their skins contained water and spirits.

In the caravan, more supplies were piled up, and with these things, they could live in a no-man's land for a month. They didn't care about the journey of a few hundred miles, and if it weren't for the fact that they were taking care of the footsteps of the Guards, the Cossack cavalry would have already arrived in their arms, roaring to cut off the head of the Dajin Emperor.

Merekhov's almond-like eyes looked at Andrei: "Andrey? Lord Andreevevich, you can see, there are a lot of wells on the road. Fish out the dead inside, and the water will be drinkable. As for eating, we have jerky here if you want it......"

"Gotcha...... Not to mention your jerky, after eating them, my dentist is busy again. It was too slow to go like this, and it was the artillery trucks and infantry that delayed the movement. ”

The two regiments were accompanied by a mounted infantry battalion, plus two regiments each with regimental artillery batteries, plus a Cossack artillery company that had been transferred, and three artillery companies with eighteen guns, which also seriously affected the movement of the troops.

But Merekhov stubbornly shook his head: "We can't give up artillery and infantry. Pure cavalry, the class of troops is too single, if you encounter a well-trained infantry unit, the cavalry will be very disadvantaged. ”

"Come on, you old donkey, I think it's a mistake to call you!" Andrei snorted coldly, "You are the same as your son, you can only say, you won't do." The only thing you can do is to be majestic on the belly of a woman in the kingdom of gold. You also saw those golden soldiers, they only fired their guns indiscriminately, and when we raised our swords and rushed forward, soon they would surrender, and against such a unit, only a cavalry assault was needed. If you're timid, stay with your team and wait for news of my victory. I will lead the Guards Cavalry Regiment to rush up and capture their Empress Dowager and Emperor, I've had enough and don't want to wait any longer! ”

As soon as he gave the order, the Guards cavalry quickly completed the assembly, and under the leadership of a dozen guides, they advanced at full speed towards Huailai, and the heavy equipment such as infantry and artillery was thrown down, and the order was followed.

Half an hour after the cavalry team set off, there was the sound of iron hooves stomping on the ground behind them, and the sound was like a huge thunder. Looking back, a black torrent swept in, quickly passing over the royal elite and throwing the dust and sand raised by the farriers on the faces of the guards. The majestic and powerful songs of those knights were heard in the wind.

Our glorious land is not ploughed with ploughs,

Our land is ploughed with horses' hooves,

The glorious land was planted with Cossack heads,

The quiet Don River was dotted with young widows. (To be continued.) )
