Chapter 185: Sneak Attack on Beijing City

It wasn't until the wee hours of the night that the little devils' barracks seemed to suddenly come to life, and groups of little devils came out of the tents, these little devils didn't get up in the middle of the night to pee, but had an important task, and the little devils began to assemble in an orderly manner.

In the camp of the Huben Army outside the Guangqu Gate, Ren Chaozheng and Chief of Staff Yang Jichang and others were discussing the next step of tonight's operational deployment. Ren Chao left Beijing City in the evening and rushed to the camp outside the Guangqu Gate, not only Ren Chao himself, but also the Tiger Ben Army in Beijing City secretly went to the outside of the city with Ren Chao, leaving only a few hundred people to stay in the city.

"Report~! Lord Qiyu, the scouts reported that the Japanese camp had found an abnormality, and the little devils were secretly assembling. A Tiger Soldier hurriedly ran into the tent and said loudly.

"Got it! Keep an eye on the little devils! Ren Chao ordered casually.

"The little devil is going to act, let's get ready to act! Inform the ministries to prepare for battle. Ren Chao turned his head and ordered Yang Jichang.

"Yes!" Yang Jichang responded respectfully, and then ordered someone to go down to convey the order.

At about one o'clock in the morning, the assembled little devils left the Japanese camp and retreated to the southeast. Immediately there was an exchange of fire with the guard troops of the Tiger Army, and the Japanese army made a posture of eager to flee for their lives, desperately attacking the defense line of the Tiger Army, and soon broke through the defense line of the Tiger Army and fled all the way to the southeast.

After Ren Chao got the news, he immediately ordered Meng Yan's troops to immediately pursue the Japanese army, and at the same time, Ren Chao led the main force of the Tiger Ben Army outside the Guangqu Gate to follow up.

"Report~! Lord Qiyu, the Japanese army was busy fleeing for its life, and at this time it was already a broken army, and Brigade Commander Meng was leading his troops to pursue the Japanese army. Ren Chaozheng led the army to hurry in the direction of the devil's escape, but he didn't expect to receive such a message on the way.

Ren Chao's eyes widened in disbelief after hearing this, when did this little devil become so can't help fighting, and what about the little devil's ambush? Thinking of this, Ren Chao faintly felt uneasy in his heart. The little devil must have a conspiracy, anyway, Ren Chao didn't believe that this big mountain rock would admit defeat and prepare to flee for his life. But what is the conspiracy of the little devils? Ren Chao couldn't get it for a while. Ren Chao couldn't help but start to hesitate. At this time, a cold wind blew, which made Ren Chao sober up a lot in an instant. Ren Chao's face changed suddenly, and he glanced back, because the sky was dark and the distance was too far, he could no longer see the shadow of Beijing City at this time.

"Not good! Beijing! Ren Chao couldn't help shouting, then turned to Wang Jing and said, "You lead a large army to continue to pursue and assist Meng Yan's subordinates, and you must annihilate the little devils who broke through in one fell swoop." ”

"Order!" Wang Jing bowed down to receive the order, and then led the army to continue the pursuit.

Ren Chao looked at the army and headed all the way to the southeast. The uneasiness in my heart became even more severe, "The guard regiment immediately rushed back to Beijing City with me. ”

"Order!" Everyone in the guard regiment responded in unison, Ren Chao turned his horse's head, raised his whip and galloped towards Beijing City.

At this time, Li Hongzhang had already fallen asleep, and Li Hongzhang had insomnia almost every day these days, but although he fell asleep today, he didn't sleep well.

A slightly hurried knock on the door woke up Li Hongzhang in his sleep, Li Hongzhang was angry in his heart, but he also knew it in his heart. If you dare to disturb your sleep at this time, it must be a hundred thousand urgent things. Under the service of the maid, Li Hongzhang got dressed.

"Something is wrong with Lord Nakado!" As soon as Li Hongzhang walked out of the door, a general of the Huai Army standing behind the housekeeper rushed up and said loudly.

"What's going on? Could it be that the Tiger Ben Army pursued the Japanese and was ambushed? Li Hongzhang couldn't help but change his face when he heard this.

"It's not the Tiger Army, it's Guang'anmen. A large number of Japanese troops suddenly appeared outside Guang'anmen, and they attacked Guang'anmen, and the soldiers guarding Guang'anmen were negligent for a while, and they let the little devils rush into the city! Now Guang'anmen is probably about to fall! The general hurriedly replied.

"What?" Li Hongzhang's surprise is not trivial. Fortunately, this old guy didn't have any history of heart disease, otherwise this time would have killed him. But what kind of person is Li Hongzhang! After the shock just now, it quickly calmed down. "Where's the Tiger Army! Immediately mobilize the tiger army to rush to the aid of Guang'anmen! ”

"Returning to Lord Zhongtang, the Tiger Ben Army has already gone out of the city to pursue and escape from the Japanese invaders, even if they are ordered to come back now, I am afraid that they will not dare to come back for a while, but Guang'anmen will not last long." The general hurriedly reminded.

"Immediately rush to the inner city to send troops and horses to reinforce Guang'anmen, and we must block the Japanese from the outside of the city. In addition, he immediately sent someone to inform Ren Chao and ordered him to lead the Tiger Ben army back to Beijing City. Li Hongzhang hurriedly ordered. Li Hongzhang is really anxious this time, if he loses Beijing City in front of him, even if it is just an outer city, his old face will be lost, so he must defend Beijing City no matter what. Block the little devil out of the city, once the little devil rushes into the city, the consequences are unimaginable!

"Order!" The general answered, turned around, and hurried away.

"Lord Zhongtang don't have to worry, although the Tiger Ben Army is not in the city, but there are still so many defenders in the city, can't they still hold this Beijing City? What's more, today's little devil is already at the end of the crossbow, even if the sneak attack succeeds, it will definitely not last, as long as our army counterattacks, it will definitely be able to encircle and annihilate it in Guang'anmen in one fell swoop. At this time, Zhang Peilun also got the news and rushed over, and seeing Li Hongzhang's sad face, he couldn't help but persuade him.

"I hope so!" Li Hongzhang sighed slightly and said. Now Li Hongzhang is powerless, he can only resign himself to fate.

At this time, a sky-high fire had been ignited near Guang'anmen, and the little devils broke into the city along the way, and the entire Guang'anmen had fallen into the hands of the little devils. In the flash of fire, the Qing army guarding Beijing is engaged in a fierce battle with the little devils who have entered the city.

The battle was fierce, and in the dense gunfire, people fell down almost every moment, turning into a cold corpse. The Japanese offensive was very fierce, and it completely took out a desperate posture and attacked desperately. The Qing army kept retreating, although reinforcements arrived from time to time and entered the battle, but they still could not contain the offensive of the little devils.

At this time, Sakuma Samatsui had been waiting for the castle tower of Guang'an City, looking at the battlefield in the city, Sakuma Samatsu's mood at this time was extremely complicated. He didn't know if he would be able to capture the ancient city of Beijing, and for him and all the Japanese troops present, defeat meant death. So at this time, there are only two paths in front of Sakuma Zomathei, victory or death, and there is no other way. (To be continued......)
