Ren Chao walked around the city wall, turned his head and asked the commander of the Tiger Ben Army who was following him, "It's been so long, and the little devil has always been like this?" ”

"No, at the beginning, the little devils rushed to this side in groups! But after a while, it became like this, occasionally a few little devils popped up, or occasionally fired a few shots. The battalion commander replied honestly.

"Dog's day! The order was given, leaving only one company to defend, and the rest of the companies to rest alternately, taking additional care to save ammunition. Ren Chao casually explained and hurried down the city wall. The little devil is obviously just a harassing attack, but what is the purpose of the little devil launching this attack? Just to exhaust us? Consume our ammunition? Or is it to paralyze us? Ren Chao couldn't figure out what the purpose of the little devil was for a while.

But there is one thing that Ren Chao is clear, that is, the Tiger Ben Army came all the way from Weihai to Beijing, there was almost no pause, and then immediately put into the battle, the soldiers are now very tired, although these people are all system soldiers, but they are the same as normal people, they will be tired, and they also need to rest every day, but now the battle situation is urgent, there is no time to find a good place for them, and then sleep well, so they can only take turns to rest. No way, this is war!

According to Li Hongzhang's orders, Ren Chao drew a battalion of troops from the Tiger Ben Army as a reserve and stood by at any time. The strength of this battalion was temporarily stationed in several houses near Yongdingmen, and the residents of this area had long since moved elsewhere. But there are not enough houses for 500 people. Except for a few wounded who lived in the house, the others had to live in the courtyard, where a large bonfire was lit in the middle of the courtyard to keep warm, and the soldiers snuggled up to each other, covered with quilts, and slept like this.

At this time, it had just entered February (lunar calendar), and the weather in Beijing was still very cold, so Ren Chao walked around the camp and couldn't help but feel sad.

"My lord, that's pretty good! The little devil came. Refugees poured into the city, leaving them with no place to live but to sleep on the streets. A Tiger Army officer said casually.

"And this kind of thing? Where are these people? Ren Chao asked with a frown.

"They are all concentrated in the east and west of the city, so this generation can't see it, these refugees have no place to live, and they have no food, so they can only rely on some relief porridge issued by the imperial court to live a day." The officer continued.

"It seems that you have to do your best to defeat the little devil!" Ren Chao said firmly.

"Boom! Rumble! At this moment, several violent explosions suddenly came from the west, and Ren Chao couldn't help but look up to the west. At this time, I faintly heard a dense burst of gunfire.

"It's in the direction of Guang'anmen, and the little devils are attacking Guang'anmen!" Ren Chao couldn't help frowning slightly, Ren Chao always felt that something was wrong, and knew that the little devil would never give up. Really. While launching a harassing attack on Guangqu Gate and Yongding Gate to attract the attention of the defenders, he suddenly appeared outside Guang'an Gate and attacked Guang'an Gate. Because the little devils have never launched an attack on Guang'anmen. Therefore, the defense of Guang'anmen was relatively weak.

"Assemble the team! Go to Guang'anmen now! Ren Chao ordered decisively.

"Yes!" The bugler answered and took out a military trumpet and blew it a few times!

In less than five minutes, a battalion of 500 men was assembled. Ren Chao turned over and got on his horse, pulled the reins of the horse and said loudly, "Quickly reinforce Guang'anmen and go!" ”

Ren Chao took the lead and went towards Guang'anmen with five hundred tigers, so the little devil's sneak attack conspiracy failed again, and because Ren Chao led his troops to arrive in time, the little devil's attack was repulsed again.

Da Shanyan learned that it was the Tiger Ben Army who spoiled his good deeds, and this time he was really angry and vomited blood, "Why is there a Tiger Ben Army everywhere?" Could it be that the Tiger Army is really just like the legend, and it is the nemesis of our Great Japanese Locust Army. Lying on the bed resting, Dashan Yanqing was still very excited, and the military doctor had just finished examining his body and reminding him not to get angry and to recuperate in peace. But in its current form, where does Dashan Rock have time to recuperate in peace? Don't get angry? The attack on Beijing has been repeatedly frustrated, how can it not be angry?

"Your Excellency, General, rest your anger! This sneak attack won't work, it's a big deal that we can think of other ways! The chief of staff hurriedly comforted him on the side, for fear that His Excellency the commander would not be able to come up in one breath, and it would be troublesome to die of anger.

"Humph!" Where can Dashanyan endure it, he still looks angry.

At this moment, a Japanese officer hurriedly walked in, stood up and saluted, and said loudly, "Report to Your Excellency Commander, General Kuroki Weizhen of the Sixth Division has just sent someone to deliver the news that the blocking force of the Sixth Division of the Locust Army has been attacked by the Qing army, and it has been confirmed that the sneak attack on the Qing army is the Tiger Army, with a strength of more than 3,000 people. At present, the locust army is fighting against the enemy. ”

"Nani! Reinforcements from the Tiger Army have arrived? Da Shanyan's face became even paler, "Baga Yalu!" Order Kuroki Weizhen, let him block this Tiger Army, if it is possible to annihilate it in one fell swoop, how can he not even deal with the three thousand Tiger Ben Army with the strength of one division! Just wait for the caesarean section to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Hay!" The Japanese officer replied respectfully, then turned and left.

Ten miles west of Beijing, the 3,000 Huben army led by Yang Jichang and Wang Jing had already exchanged fire with the little devils. Taking advantage of the darkness, the Tiger Army touched the Japanese position, although it was a fierce blow, annihilating hundreds of Japanese soldiers. After Kuroki Weizhen learned the news, he hurriedly mobilized troops to come to support, and only then did he barely stabilize his position.

After Yang Jichang learned that the Japanese army was coming to help in a big way, he ordered the attack to be stopped, and the whole army retreated five miles, disengaged from the little devils, and set up camp.

"Why didn't Lord Ren let us into the city?" Wang Jing asked suspiciously.

"You! It's just a dead brain, what's the use of going into the city? Staying outside the city, isn't it still possible to contain the devils? And more flexibility, more maneuverability! Yang Jichang said with a smile.

Wang Jing nodded as if he didn't understand, pondered for a while, and asked with a grin, "Then how long do we need to stay in this ghost place!" ”

"Why, I'm annoyed when I just arrived!" Yang Jichang said with a smile.

"It's not that I'm annoyed, it's that I finally ran into so many little devils, and I can't fight happily, I'm panicking!"

"You kid!" Yang Jichang scolded with a smile, "Who said that you won't be allowed to fight, there may be a big battle to fight tomorrow, you kid must be prepared in advance, don't drop the chain at a critical moment, otherwise adults won't be able to spare you!" Yang Jichang warned threateningly.

"Really!" When Wang Jing heard this, his eyes immediately shot out a fine light, like a cheetah that had found its prey. (To be continued......)
