Chapter 545: Seize the Nine Gates (II)
"What? The nine gates of the inner city in the capital were occupied by Taiwanese rebellion, and the nine gates were also captured by the commander Rong Lu? Cixi said in horror.
"Yes! Queen Mother, the nine gates of the inner city of our capital have been occupied. Li Lianying said.
Cixi was really anxious, because if the nine gates of the capital were occupied, she would definitely face an inescapable fate. The Manchu bureaucrats of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all in the inner city of the capital, and if the Nine Gates were occupied, then they might still be able to move the capital? At that time, I am afraid that I was really going to face a very tragic result, and I was held hostage by Wang Guorui.
"How did they manage to sneak into the inner city, didn't those people find out?" Cixi asked.
Li Lianying said immediately; "Queen Mother, there are banner people officials cooperating with them, and they are wearing flag people's clothes, so those green battalions don't dare to stop them."
"Damn, did the banner people also betray our Qing Dynasty? They are flag people, the masters of the Chinese! But they are all so willing to degenerate and choose to submit to the Han people? Cixi said angrily.
Li Lianying then hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, don't say that these are useless, let's go and recapture the Nine Gates as soon as possible!" ”
"That's right, reappoint Prince Qing, the prime minister's Yamen, as the governor of Jiumen for the time being, and go to recapture Jiumen!" Cixi said.
And Cixi didn't know that her decision completely ruined the opportunity to recapture the Nine Gates, because this Prince of Qing was a guy who wanted money and didn't want his ancestors.
And when Zhou Chen was in the Beijing Office, fortunately he was in the outer city, not in the inner city. If he had been in the inner city, I'm afraid he would have been arrested a long time ago. However, he has a secret stronghold in the inner city, which he can command remotely. And when he heard that the nine gates of the inner city were occupied and the people inside were blocked, he was also relieved. But then. He heard that Prince Qing had been appointed as the new Admiral of the Nine Gates, and this gave him an idea immediately. This Prince Qing has always been contacted by him, so if he can use it to make him unable to work when attacking the Nine Gates, then wouldn't this ensure the stability of the Nine Gates? Just wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and that's fine. So. Zhou Chen immediately sent a telegram, and then asked the secret workers in the secret stronghold to start contacting Prince Qing Yixuan. Anyway, this old thing just asks for money, isn't it very easy to ask for money? It's a big deal to use the secret fund, anyway, this secret fund is at this time, so what is there to save?
"Everyone, we must hold on, we must hold the Nine Gates and wait for reinforcements to arrive, at that time we will be the first heroes to enter the capital!" Yang Wanchun, director of the Special Operations Command, said.
"Yes!" Said the big one.
"Give me an attack!" Prince Qing immediately shouted.
"Rush!"
The Eight Banners soldiers in the inner city also began to attack the nine city gates, but they committed a taboo. That is, the forces are dispersed to the nine gates, so that the limited combat power that was originally saved is also dispersed, so that it cannot be twisted into a rope.
"Call me!" Yang Wanchun, who was commanding Xuanwumen, said.
"Dada......"
The Zhonghua Type 1 rifle had begun to shoot tongues of fire, and a large number of bullets had been fired. The so-called cotton armor of the Manchu generals could not stop the bullets of the new era, perhaps their cotton armor was a bulletproof weapon in the past hundreds of years, but it was based on the poor quality of the firearms of the Ming Dynasty. And now this new type of firearm, the piercing cotton armor is the same as playing, so those Eight Banners soldiers have also been killed.
"Prince Qing. We can't break through! The thieves' firepower is too strong! Immediately, the Eight Banners said.
And a general soldier under the commander of the Nine Gates immediately said: "Prince Qing, we might as well concentrate our troops and horses." Storm the Xuanwu Gate, so that we can also break through a city gate and leave immediately with the Queen Mother and the Emperor! If they mobilize the defenders of other gates to come and support, then we can let them take care of the other! ”
But Prince Qing said; "No, we have to attack separately so that we have a better chance of breaking through."
"This ......"
"Needless to say, I'll fight separately!" Prince Qing said.
And everyone felt weird. Prince Qing's tactic is completely fueling tactics, and it is useless at all. The refueling tactic is a taboo for soldiers, but now that Prince Qing has actually used this refueling tactic, this is simply incredible. Could it be that Prince Qing is so ignorant and ignorant of military affairs? But everyone didn't dare to ask more. Because they didn't dare to disobey Prince Qing's orders, people could easily clean themselves up when the time came.
"Rush!"
The Eight Banners also continued to attack, and then they were once again beaten back.
"The casualties of the Eight Banners are not small, let them rest for a while!" Prince Qing said.
"Prince Qing, the situation is urgent now, and you can't rest! The Queen Mother is waiting for you to break through the Nine Gates, and then let the Queen Mother move the capital! Someone said right away.
But Prince Qing immediately said: "How can this be done, the soldiers are tired and must rest." If you don't rest, the huge casualties will make the soldiers collapse! So now I have to let the soldiers rest, so that they can have the energy to continue to work hard for the court and the emperor! ”
"But ......"
"Needless to say, you must rest, otherwise the children of the Eight Banners will say that I can't understand the soldiers!"
However, above the Xuanwu Gate, Yang Wanchun immediately thought: "Why did those Eight Banners soldiers stop and stop attacking?" ”
Yang Wanchun was also very surprised, these Eight Banner soldiers were actually in a good thing and were not in a hurry to attack the Nine Gates. Instead, they seem to have been ordered to stay here and rest. It's all at this time, the military situation is urgent, but they still want to rest, this Yang Wanchun can't understand what the truth is.
Because this Prince Qing is Taiwan's insider, this is one of Taiwan's important secrets. Only Yao Wendong, director of the Liaison Department for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and Wang Guorui and Zhou Chen knew this secret, and no one else knew about it. However, at this time, there was one more person who knew, that is, the person who was in the secret stronghold in the inner city of the capital, and he also knew that this Yixiao was his own. But Yang Wanchun is not in this system, so he doesn't know that Yixuan is his own person. After all, according to the rules, what should be kept secret must still be kept secret, and anyone who is not an officer in this job will not be able to access those high-level secrets. For example, if an outside officer is not allowed to enter the General Intelligence Agency to investigate information without permission, this is also because of the maximum confidentiality. There is an old saying that once three people know the secret, I am afraid it will not be a secret, and it will soon spread. So the fewer people who know about this news, the better, and we can't let too many people know. And this Prince of Qing is the person directly entrusted by Wang Guorui to manage Zhou Chen, and even the General Intelligence Administration does not know this secret, so Yang Wanchun, the director of the Special Operations Command, naturally does not know this.
But even if Yang Wanchun didn't know that Yixuan was his own person, it didn't prevent him from feeling relaxed. Because if the tens of thousands of troops of those Nine Gate Admirals besieged this Xuanwu Gate together, once the tens of thousands of troops gathered to besiege the Xuanwu Gate defended by more than 100 of them, then their bullet consumption pressure would also be very huge. Although these special forces carried as many bullets as possible, they were only three white bullets per person, and more than 100 people added up to more than 30,000 rounds of ammunition. However, the hit rate of more than 30,000 rounds cannot be 100 percent, and the hit rate of an automatic rifle can be 10 percent. In addition, some mortar grenadier weapons may not be the ability to consume the Eight Banners.
So once tens of thousands of Eight Banner soldiers pressed up, I am afraid that the pressure they faced was also very huge, at that time they were really a little unbearable, once the bullets were consumed, they could only fight hand-to-hand. And after hand-to-hand combat, will they be able to block the Eight Banners? Therefore, these Eight Banners soldiers chose this kind of refueling tactic and took the initiative to delay time, which also made Yang Wanchun feel a lot easier.
"Keep going for me!" Prince Qing continued.
But at this time, the Eight Banners also began to attack. They also know that these enemies are very powerful, and no one wants to be this early bird and then be killed by them. Therefore, these Eight Banners soldiers have also learned to work without a teacher, and they do not contribute to work. However, that Yixuan didn't stop this situation, because he knew that his duty was to delay these guys so that they couldn't attack quickly.
"Dada......"
The special forces above the Xuanwu Gate tried to fight, and then the Eight Banners soldiers also began to retreat, obviously not wanting to fight. Prince Qing also immediately ordered the soldiers to rest again, and this time the rest actually took ten hours.
"What the hell is wrong with these Eight Banners? If we delay like this, our reinforcements will come! Yang Wanchun felt unexpected.
Soon, both sides also tacitly engaged in a false offensive and defensive battle, anyway, the Taiwanese army fired a few shots, and the other side also retreated and rested for a while. The rest of the Eight Banners was as short as six hours each time, and as many as 12 hours, and in this way, they cooperated with each other for three days, and at this time, Taiwan's army had already arrived near the capital, and would attack the capital at any time to control the entire capital.
