It was getting dark. The Qing army in Tianzhuangtai was also ready, and the wounded were all sent to the predetermined positions as the last to be broken. There was no pleading, no crying, everything was going on silently. When it gets dark, the Qing army of Tianzhuang Tai is about to break through. Guangxu once again came to the headquarters. One by one, the seriously wounded soldiers were lifted into the ammunition depot, and when the soldiers who carried the people came out, the explosives bags they had brought with them did not come out.

"Are you afraid?" Guangxu stopped a seriously injured man and asked.

"Don't be afraid." The voice of the answer was so firm.

"Well done. Go ahead. Guangxu patted him on the shoulder.

When Guangxu was about to leave, the seriously injured man said: "Your Majesty, you are the bravest emperor I have ever met. ”

Hearing this, Guangxu couldn't help laughing: "Nonsense, you have also seen such an emperor as me." Have you ever seen Qin Shi Huang or not? As he spoke, Guangxu leaned back and made a frightened expression: "Don't scare me." ”

Everyone burst into laughter. The originally heavy scene was suddenly much lighter.

"Go ahead, each of you is the pride of this country."

In the headquarters, Guangxu stood on the main seat. Quietly looking around at the generals present, the three regiment commanders had already arrived, and all the senior generals of the Qing Army in Tianzhuang were gathered here: "Do you know everyone's arrangements in the breakthrough plan?" What objections are raised now. If you don't say it, then you must firmly implement it. Otherwise, it is disobedience and disrespect, and military law will be carried out in the future. Any objections? ”

"Nope." Everyone replied in unison.

"Tie Liang, the leader of the Seventh Regiment, do you have any objections?" Guangxu asked Tie Liang. After all, the 7th Regiment was the only remaining force.

"No objections." Tie Liang replied.

Tie Liang didn't object, then there was no problem, Guangxu nodded: "All parts of the head action." In the middle of the night, the whole army began to break through. ”

"Yes." Except for the heralds who left to temporarily cease fire at the front, the others remained motionless.

After answering "yes", the generals should have returned to their troops, but everyone did not move. Guangxu looked at it in some surprise. At this time, Wang Shizhen glanced at Qi Yide, who was standing on the left side behind the emperor. Qi Yide raised his right hand, and his hand was knife-shaped. But he hesitated. Then aimed at the back of Guangxu's neck and slashed hard. It was his hesitation, the light hanging in front of the map on the inner wall that betrayed him.

Guangxu saw that someone raised his hand knife on his own shadow in front of him, and in the flash of the moment, he saw the shadow of the hand knife flickering, and Guangxu instinctively flashed to the right. Qi Yide's hand knife slashed heavily on Guangxu's left shoulder. This time, Guangxu stumbled. Qi Yide couldn't strike a blow, but he didn't dare to step forward again.

Guangxu, who staggered, stabilized his body, and he couldn't care about the pain in his shoulder. Turning his head and staring at Qi Yide: "Qi Yide, do you dare to threaten the king?"

"Lord Qi." Without waiting for Qi Yide to reply, Wang Shizhen shouted.

But Qi Yide was afraid, and he didn't care about the previous persuasion of the chief of staff, so he knelt down with a puff: "The slave doesn't dare." At this time, Qi Yide didn't even dare to raise his head.

"What do you mean, when my will is to fart? I have said that I will not take a step back. As soon as Chrysostom opened, how could he regret it. Guangxu looked angry.

"But you are the emperor......" I don't know who just spoke, but was interrupted by Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen has understood since he got the envelope given by Guangxu. The emperor's intention has been decided, and it is definitely not something that can be persuaded verbally. Since Qi Yide missed, he could only use strength. "What's the matter, do it." Wang Shizhen hurriedly signaled the soldiers on both sides to step forward and control the emperor.

Seeing the soldiers pounce on him, Guangxu retreated one after another, retreating to his back to the wall. At the same time, he drew his short sword with his right hand, pressed it against his neck, and said, "Do you think I have the courage to cut it?" With a movement of his hand, the sharp blade slashed lightly on Guangxu's neck, and blood flowed out.

"Your Majesty must not ......" Everyone present knelt down one after another, even Michael, a German, on one knee. In Michael's eyes, although the emperor in front of him is young, he can give up everything including his life for the country. He was a revered emperor. Only Wang Shizhen is still standing.

"Stand back, all stand back. Ten steps away from me, step back. After everyone had left ten paces away, Guangxu put down his sword.

"If there is no emperor left, then what war will we fight." As he spoke, he slowly knelt down.

"Can't you fight without the emperor? Please all remember that the soldiers are not fighting for the emperor, you are fighting for the country. Because we can't let our children grow up trembling at the guns of the enemy. All raised their heads. Look at these young people in front of you, these young and energetic faces, you are the hope of the future of this country. Guangxu took a deep breath: "The emperor is gone, you can set up another one." The Great Qing Kingdom is gone, and another one can be built. If all the seeds of hope are gone, it will really be over. You always keep saying that you want to be loyal to the emperor. But what I ask you to remember is that what you should really be loyal to is this country, the Chinese nation, and the land of China under your feet. Remember the five stars on the five-star dragon flag? The largest one represents the Han Chinese, the largest ethnic group in the country. The other four small stars represent the various ethnic minorities represented by Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Hui. Only when all the people in this country are united can the Chinese dragon truly take off, and can it truly be the dragon-yin-nine-heaven. ”

"Let's go. I trust that Heaven will bless me alive until your counterattack. I've always believed it. ”

Wang Shizhen kowtowed and stood up: "Let's go, return to their own positions and prepare to break through." ”

"Your Majesty, the slave is the emperor's chief of guard, let the slave follow you." Qi Yide still didn't get up.

"No need, you go back with the chief of staff. The Chief of Staff has my secret will, and you will be asked to act according to my will. Let's go, let's go. I am the Son of Heaven, and I am ordered by Heaven to die so easily at the hands of the chieftain. You have to believe in Heaven and believe in Me. ”

According to the breakout plan, the 6th Regiment was to attack first in the middle of the night. At this time, the front line of the Sixth Regiment was still in Xintun Village, five miles away from Tianzhuang Terrace. Along the way, Guangxu walked at the back and kept urging the front to go quickly. And let the guards around him stay away. In the headquarters, Wang Shizhen took out a rope to forcibly tie up the emperor, who knows if someone here will come again. Until you get to the 6th Regiment trenches.

"Brethren......" shouted Nagayama, "see who is coming." ”

Guangxu, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood at the front and saluted everyone with a smile. Don't worry about my black gun, if I want to fight, then just shoot at the Grange.

"It's the emperor, salute-"

"There will be no more reinforcements, and I am the last reinforcement. It's a pleasure to be with you. ”

It's late at night, and it's time to break out. Guangxu in the trenches was also issued a new gun and five bullets. Guangxu checked the new gun issued to him, loaded it, and quietly poked his head out of the trench to look at the opposite position...... Soon, he locked on to a target, a soldier who was also peeking at this side with half of his head exposed.

Four hundred meters, which is more than a third of the normal shooting sight range of the naked eye...... Aim, hold your breath, fire!

"Horn!" A lonely gunshot woke up the quiet battlefield, and the probe's soldier suddenly retracted. missed, but it was very close, and the bullet hit his trench, and a pinch of snowflakes was raised, and the other party noticed it; Guangxu also shrank back and slid down the trench wall and sat on the ground, feeling as if he had collapsed. There is absolutely no such feeling of real knives and guns in the command headquarters. Guangxu finally fired his first shot to the battlefield!

The sound of a gun is an order. Countless Qing troops silently jumped out of the trenches and rushed forward quickly. It wasn't until the Yue army found that the gunshots rang out, and the Qing army let out a killing sound that shook the sky.

Guangxu also picked up his gun, jumped out of the trench with a straight bayonet, and shouted "Kill-" and rushed forward quickly.

"No shooting, no shooting." A military cao of the army saw a person wearing a bright yellow dragon robe among the charging Qing troops. A death order was issued from above, not to harm the Qing Emperor, and he must be captured alive. Therefore, Jun Cao hurriedly stopped the soldiers from shooting in case he accidentally injured the Qing emperor. But he must have never met the Qing Emperor, who knows if someone is pretending. So on the one hand, he asked the soldiers to prepare for white-knuckle combat, and on the other hand, he asked people to report to the division commander, and asked the division commander to send someone to confirm.

In the distance, the commander of the 3rd Division, Katsura Taro, still had a bandage on his head. The American factory in Haicheng was wounded when it was bombarded by the Qing army's dense artillery, and it has not yet fully recovered. The telescope that was being held up at the moment was smiling happily. That's right, it was the Qing Emperor himself who was fighting in the position, and they all thought that the Qing Emperor would break through from the direction of the Nogi Xidian Brigade, but they didn't expect the Qing Emperor to appear in his own defense area. How could this displease him, the honor of capturing the Qing Emperor would be awarded to the 3rd Division.

"Concentrate the elite forces and attack in the direction of the Qing Emperor with all your might. Be sure to capture the Qing Emperor alive. Katsura Taro pointed to the Qing Emperor and ordered.

"Hey." The herald quickly went to give the order.

The sound of killing from the north reached the town of Erjiegou. Wang Shizhen ordered the Fifth Regiment to start a counterattack, and the remnants of the Fifth Regiment, totaling more than 1,200 people, all launched a charge. On the night of November 21, the Qing army of Tianzhuang and Taiwan broke through on all fronts.

The battle was raging on the position of the army in Ping'an Town on the northern front, and Guangxu, who was originally lagging behind, had rushed to the front. Every time he slashes down an army, two soldiers rush up. The bayonet, although long, is not conducive to chopping. Guangxu had already put the rifle on his back and replaced it with a broadsword. A large number of Yue troops rushed in the direction of Guangxu, but these Yue troops did not dare to fight with Guangxu, in case they hurt the Qing Emperor, this is a sin to cut their stomachs. Therefore, the army always thought that all the Qing troops around the Qing Emperor would be killed, and then the Qing Emperor could be captured alive. The idea is good, but it must be the emperor of the Qing Kingdom, and the Qing soldiers are closely following the emperor. If one falls, there will also be two Qing soldiers to make up for it. The battle at the position where Guangxu was located on the entire position was the most intense, and it was also the only breakthrough point that was constantly advancing, and Guangxu took advantage of the fact that the army did not dare to hurt him, and he was at the forefront early, cutting out a passage for advancement with a knife. The Qing soldiers in the back also took advantage of the emperor's fearless charge to tear apart the defense line of the army little by little in the direction of the emperor.

This will not work. After Katsura Taro saw the fierce battle on the battlefield through the binoculars, he found that although the imperial warriors were extremely brave, they did not dare to face it head-on because they were worried that they would hurt the Qing Emperor. Moreover, the emperor of the Qing Kingdom was also constantly blocking left and right, which made the imperial warriors worried. Although the Qing Emperor walked slowly, he was advancing at every step. If it continues for a long time, it will definitely make the Qing Emperor break out of the encirclement of the army. This must change.

"Bring me the map." Katsura Taro looked at the map carefully in the faint light, and slowly a trap set for the Qing Emperor clearly appeared. He hurriedly ordered to go down, you go like this, he go like that, and then like this, and finally you can do that. In this way, the battle against the Qing Dynasty can be ended this evening. The officers around Katsura Taro left one after another.

A knife, a knife, another knife. The soldiers in front of him fell one by one, rushing forward to open a gap, and assisting the Qing soldiers to attack on the left and right. Guangxu, who rushed to the front, was already panting like a cow, if it weren't for more than two years of non-stop exercise, how could Guangxu, who had killed most of the night, still have the strength to chop. Cut down one army to the left, another army to the right, and one more army in front of you, and you can take a few steps forward and do it again. Just like that, a little advance has also passed through most of the positions of the army, Guangxu is like the tip of an arrow, leading the Qing army has been deeply rooted in the defense line of the army, and it is still advancing. Of course, Guangxu did not know where he was, because the plan of the Yue army would soon break out of the Yue army's defense line. Little did he know that the battlefield had changed behind him. The Qing army's breakthrough troops were being violently counterattacked by the Yue army on the left and the right, and a standard triangular assault queue was being dented by the Yue army from the middle and both sides.

Didn't the army dare to hurt me? Then what else is there to defend. Seeing that the bayonets of the Yue army were rushing up brightly, Guangxu, who had been replaced with double knives, did not block it, and slashed down the Yue army on the left with a knife in his left hand, but the big knife in his right hand slashed towards the Yue Jun who was holding the bayonet. It was said that the soldier deflected the bayonet and was killed by Guangxu.

Slowly, Guangxu, who was still struggling to advance, found that he was walking faster and faster, and there were fewer and fewer troops in front of him, until there was no more army in front of him, and then he realized that in the constant fighting, he had rushed out of the defense line of the army. Successfully broke through this encirclement.
