(Thank you for the reward of DIY74, thank you for the monthly pass of book n, thank you very much!) ）

The killing continued, and the Janissaries on both sides of the Yellow River fell into the slaughter of the Western Sichuan Army. However, on the right bank of the Yellow River, a metal storm of shells and bullets reaps life wantonly. On the left bank of the Yellow River, the cavalry of the Western Sichuan Army reaped their lives with sabers in their hands. The latter method is undoubtedly more bloody, but it is also more sought after by soldiers. Especially those soldiers of the former Ma Family Army, what they liked most was not to destroy the enemy with guns, but to enjoy the feeling of this kind of war horse sprinting at high speed, and the saber in their hands lightly cutting off the enemy's head.

The battle has come to this point, and there is no doubt that the new Praetorian Guard is powerless. They had already lost this time, and with the exception of a very small number of people who were able to escape, the rest were either killed outright or had to surrender.

In the middle of the Yellow River, dozens of small boats are still drifting downstream, and Fengshan has no idea of rushing to the other side of the Yellow River now. Defeat is like a mountain! In this situation, even if he rushed to the other side of the river, he would not be able to return to the sky. In this battle, the new Praetorian Guard army lost, and even the last pants were gone. This unit, from the very beginning, has received all kinds of attention, the weapons are the best, the salaries are the highest, and the instructors trained are the most famous. As a result, they failed so lightly, which is really surprising!

"Your Majesty, the slave is sorry for you and failed to live up to your hopes!" Feng Shan stood at the bow of the boat and roared, his voice full of sadness. With a snort, he drew his command knife and was about to wipe it off his neck.

But. Fortunately, the guards on both sides hugged him tightly.

"General, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood, only to keep a useful body. to be able to continue to serve the court! The guards said bitterly. There is no doubt that the defeat of the Praetorian New Army has shaken Fengshan's confidence.

After persuading the guards for a long time, Feng Shan gave up his will to die.

"Bandits in western Sichuan, I, Fengshan, and you don't share the same sky, one day, I will exterminate you all!" Feng Shan gritted his teeth and swore an oath.

Unlike Fengshan's resentment, the western Sichuan army was jubilant. An army of 100,000. I didn't expect it to be wiped out so lightly, this is the biggest victory since the start of the war!

"Chief of Staff, the victory is decided! The new Praetorian Guard is powerless. Is this the new Praetorian Guard known as the first in the Manchu Qing Dynasty? It's really vulnerable! Zhao Bowen, the commander of the Second Cavalry Army of the Western Sichuan Army, laughed and said. This battle not only allowed him and his troops to build great feats. At the same time, it also completely wiped out the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The war should not last long. If the Manchus did not want to be overthrown, they should have to start thinking about how to end the war.

"Now that the new Praetorian Guard has lost its fighting spirit, order the troops to stop attacking! We accept their surrender. Although these people are all banner people. But it's also a good worker! Having seized such a vast territory this time, Kawanishi will definitely start to build a large number of them. These soldiers will be the best laborers! Cai Yun said with a smile. He was also very happy to have won such a big victory. But. The main credit for the big victory this time is on Wang Yuze's head. If it weren't for Wang Yuze leading the army to attack the Beijing Division. The Praetorian New Army would not have rushed back to Beijing from Xi'an in such a hurry, and the Western Sichuan Army would not have this excellent opportunity.

"Surrender or kill! Surrender or kill! Zhao Bowen immediately gave an order. Suddenly, the soldiers of the Western Sichuan Army who were rushing to kill had to stop killing and shouted one after another.

The new Praetorian Guard army has already been killed by the Western Sichuan Army, and now the Western Sichuan Army has stopped killing and wants to surrender them. What else do they have to say? Without saying a word, everyone threw away their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

The same is true of the new Janissaries on the other side of the river, who have already been ravaged by the ferocious fire of the Western Sichuan Army for several hours, and have long since lost the slightest fighting spirit. Now the western Sichuan army wants them to surrender, and in order to survive, everyone rationally puts down the weapons in their hands.

By dusk, the battle was over. The Western Sichuan Army began to clean up the battlefield. For the sake of safety, all the prisoners of war on the other side of the river were escorted over. After counting, it was found that the number of captured Janissaries troops reached more than 60,000. More than 20,000 or 30,000 people were killed by the Western Sichuan Army. And those who have fled and disappeared are only a few thousand, and less than 10,000. Among them, many jumped into the boiling Yellow River, except for a very small number of people who managed to escape with good water quality, the rest were basically drowned in the river. A few days later, a large number of dead bodies appeared in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, dressed in the uniforms of the New Guard. The losses of the Western Sichuan Army were very small, not counting the minor wounded, and only a few hundred people were seriously wounded and killed in battle. It can be described as an extremely rare big victory.

The only ones who really escaped were the new Praetorian Guards who were crossing the river when the Western Sichuan Army attacked. However, their number was only a thousand, and by the time they returned to Beijing, they could no longer affect the overall situation, and the war was almost over.

The news that the western Sichuan army had won the Hukou victory was sent back to Chengdu by fast horses. Soon, the Manchus also learned the news. At this time of the war, although many Manchu agents in Chengdu were exposed, a very small number of them were successfully lurked. However, in order to send this news back to Beijing, they once again lost many excellent spies, so that the Manchu Qing intelligence in Chengdu was almost lost.

After the victory of the Western Sichuan Army at Hukou, the Hubei battlefield also underwent heavy changes. Xiong Wu fell and the Western Sichuan Army won the Battle of Wuhan. In total, the western Sichuan army annihilated nearly 100,000 enemies and lost more than 20,000 of its own. Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to retreat east to Anhui. A few days later, the whole of Hubei fell into the hands of the Western Sichuan Army.

After the news of the total annihilation of the new Praetorian Guard army reached the Beijing Division, the entire Manchu court seemed to be as if the sky had fallen, and the clouds were gloomy. After Emperor Guangxu received the news in the court, he fainted on the spot and almost died. After the full rescue of the imperial doctor, he finally came back to life, but he fell seriously ill.

The Praetorian New Army was Emperor Guangxu's last hope, but now the Praetorian New Army was annihilated by the Western Sichuan Army, which suddenly shattered Emperor Guangxu's hopes. Coupled with the erosion of the battle situation, he suddenly couldn't hold on.

Emperor Guangxu's illness, the Manchu Qing Dynasty suddenly fell into the chaos of a group of dragons without a leader. The rear party, headed by the dismissed Prince Li Shiduo, immediately clamored and asked the Empress Dowager Cixi to re-listen to the government and take control of the Qing dynasty. However, the imperial party headed by Weng Tongyi did not agree to it, and the two parties launched a fierce struggle. It's just that the imperial party relies on the new Praetorian Guard the most, and now that the Praetorian New Army has been completely wiped out by the Western Sichuan Army, they naturally have no confidence to speak. On the contrary, although the soldiers of the Eight Banners who supported the Empress Dowager Cixi were weak, they did not suffer much loss in this war. Everyone already knew that the court was about to change again, and it was only a matter of time.

Forbidden City, Chuxiu Palace. The Empress Dowager Cixi was sitting on the soft collapse, and she didn't know what she was thinking in a daze. In the entire hall, except for Li Lianying, the chief eunuch, who was with the Empress Dowager Cixi, there was no one left.

"Xiao Lizi, what do you say the mourning family should do now?" Empress Dowager Cixi asked.

"Lafayette, the minions don't know. However, the slave heard that now the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, except for Lafayette, no one can clean it up! Li Lianying replied.

"Alas! O Emperor! I don't know how he did it. is a good Qing Dynasty, but he made it like this! Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head and sighed.

At this time, a little eunuch walked in and said, "Lafayette, Prince Li asks to see you!" ”

Cixi nodded, and the confusion in her eyes gradually dissipated.

"Xuan!" Li Lianying said.

Soon, Shi Duo walked in under the leadership of the little eunuch.

"Minion priest to Lafayette!" Sedors fell to their knees.

"Didn't you think about it behind closed doors at home? Why did you come to the mourning house again? Cixi asked expressionlessly.

"Lafayette, the slave really can't be quiet! The new Praetorian Guard army has been completely wiped out by the bandits in western Sichuan. Coupled with the loss of troops on the front line, I lost millions of troops in this battle! Now, the Qing Dynasty has no more soldiers to fight! Shiduo said in a fierce voice.

"The army has lost the battle, what can the mourning family do?" Empress Dowager Cixi glanced at Shi Duo, and then said.

"Lafayette! It's not terrible to lose a battle! The terrible thing is that the emperor has no intention of solving the current crisis! If you continue to fight, the Qing Dynasty will be over! Please also ask Lafayette to come forward, control the overall situation, and save the Qing Dynasty from fire and water! Shiduo shouted.

"Do you have to come forward? The mourning family has only enjoyed a few quiet days for a few years! The Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, looking a little reluctant.

"Lafayette, there's really no way around it! If you don't show up, this Qing Dynasty will be over! Shiduo hurriedly said,

"Okay. It's not that the mourning family is greedy for power, but it really can't help itself. I can't love the ancestors of the Xinjue Luo family, and I just threw it away! Cixi said.

Suddenly, Shi Duo's face was full of joy. Cixi is back in power, and his restoration of power is just around the corner!

That night, the Forbidden City was brightly lit, and all the guards were facing the enemy. In the middle of the night, there were even shouts of killing. However, after only a few moments, calm was restored. After that, a group of Eight Banners soldiers followed Prince Su Shanqi into the palace and removed some of the guards in the palace. Emperor Guangxu moved from the Heart Cultivation Hall to Yingtai, the reason was to recuperate!
