Ren Chao's counteroffensive plan could only be shelved temporarily, and the battle in Beijing City continued, and the attacks of the little devils were like waves, wave after wave. Yongdingmen, Zuo'anmen, and You'anmen were frequently in danger under the onslaught of the Japanese army, but under the desperate resistance of the defending army, the little devil finally did not succeed. The 6th Division outside Guangqu Gate, because part of its strength was pinned down by the Tiger Ben Army, the Japanese attack was obviously weak, and it fought for most of the day but failed to pose any fatal threat to Guangqu Gate.

After most of the day's fighting, Ren Chao personally led a battalion of troops, always acting as a firefighter, supporting wherever there was danger. By this time, the force of a battalion of 500 people was now less than 200 people, which shows the fierceness of the battle!

Ren Chao doesn't want to spend it anymore, such a fierce battle is tantamount to a painful torment for Ren Chao, and he must do his best to end this extremely painful situation, Ren Chao secretly made up his mind.

Ren Chao took advantage of the gap in the battle and came to Xicheng. There are a large number of refugees gathered here, most of them are people near the capital, and the little devils have called, and many people have dragged their families to the capital to take refuge. There are also those who have fled from afar, Cangzhou, and even Shandong, but these people are undoubtedly in the minority. The speed of the little devil's attack was so fast that few of these distant refugees managed to escape to Beijing. Most people subconsciously think that the capital is undoubtedly the safest, because the emperor is here, and he can lose it elsewhere, and this capital can't be lost! Unbeknownst to him, the Manchu emperor had already abandoned his people and fled to Rehe for refuge. It is precisely because the emperor usually lives in the city of Beijing that the little devil will capture Beijing at such a cost.

As far as the eye can see, the streets are full of refugees, some shivering and curled up in the corners, and some are lying upright on the side of the road, letting the cold wind blow, not knowing whether they are dead or alive. The streets are full of refugees. Miserable cries can be heard everywhere. The city of Beijing is in danger, and those officials are too late to protect themselves, and who can take care of the lives of these refugees. With no place to live, no food to eat, such cold weather is undoubtedly fatal for these refugees, and almost every moment someone dies of cold and starvation. The corpses were unrestrained, and they could only be violent on the streets.

Looking at this scene like purgatory on earth, Ren Chao's mood became even heavier.

"Please! Give me a bowl of porridge! My child hasn't eaten in days! A village woman pleaded bitterly with a two- or three-year-old child in her arms to a shopkeeper on the street. The child curled up in his mother's arms. Wow wow crying, his voice was very hoarse and weak, obviously crying out of his throat.

"I want to drink porridge! Okay, bring the money, if you have money, you will have porridge, if you don't have money, go away, don't hinder our business. The shopkeeper squinted, his voice colder than the howling north wind.

"Big brother, I beg you. I'm really out of money! Give me a bowl of porridge. Saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter! If there is no more to eat, my child will starve to death! Please! The young woman fell to her knees with a puff and kept kowtowing to the shopkeeper.

"Your child is going to starve to death, it's my business, don't get in the way of our business. Get out of here! The shopkeeper said impatiently.

"Please! ...... "The young woman didn't seem to hear, and still knelt on the ground and kowtowed, all she asked for was a bowl of gruel, but for the young woman now. Such an ordinary bowl of porridge can save his child.

The shopkeeper collected the money and served porridge to the other guests, but he ignored the pleading young woman. A bowl of gruel that can almost illuminate the figure of a person. Actually asked for ten big sons, this kind of business is easier than grabbing money, the shop guy is already smiling from ear to ear, the boss has made money, naturally he has to reward him, how can this shop guy not be happy.

"Your porridge, please take it!" The shopkeeper smiled and handed the porridge to a person who bought it.

The man glanced at the porridge in the bowl, and a trace of anger flashed on his face, "Why isn't it full, and this porridge is much thinner than yesterday's?" ”

"I say be objective, and you should be content! If this little devil doesn't leave, this bowl of porridge won't be ten big people tomorrow! The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Humph!" The man snorted coldly, and walked away angrily with the porridge, scolding as he walked, "This is too fucking dark!" ”

The guy didn't hear it, and took the money handed over by a guest, and a bowl of porridge was being handed over, when a hand came from the side and directly snatched the porridge, and the guy was about to get angry, and when he looked up, he saw a young man in an official uniform, holding the bowl of porridge and handing it over to the young woman who was kneeling on the ground and begging. When the guy in the store saw that this person was wearing an official uniform, and it seemed that the official rank was not low, how could he dare to offend, and when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it alive. After a pause, he quickly knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "The little one greets the adults!" ”

The man didn't pay any attention to the shopkeeper, reached out and helped the young woman who was kneeling on the ground to her feet, then handed the porridge to the young woman, and said softly, "Give it to the child!" This kid looks starving! Saying that, the man reached out and touched the child's little face, outside such a cold street, the child's little face was faintly hot, obviously a fever, the man couldn't help frowning, this person was none other than Ren Chao.

The young woman suddenly saw the officer in front of her, and was a little overwhelmed for a while, and after being stunned for a while, she reacted, and hurriedly took the porridge bowl and put it to the child's mouth, and said softly, "Son! Stop crying, eat something! ”

"This kid has a fever, and he looks like he's not sick! Come! Ren Chao said with a frown.

"Mark it in!" A guard next to him hurriedly answered.

"Take this kid to find a Langzhong, take a good look at it, and then think of arranging a place for them to live!"

"Order!" The guard answered, then walked up to the young woman and said softly, "Sister-in-law, please come with me, let's go see the child!" ”

When the young woman heard that she was going to treat the child, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Ren Chao, Ren Chao stretched out his hand to support the young woman and said with a smile, "It's important to see a doctor for the child, you should go quickly!" ”

The young woman followed the guards with a thousand thanks, and Ren Chao turned his head to look at the shopkeeper who was kneeling on the ground, and at this time, the shopkeeper had already got the news and ran out, and he also knelt next to the shopkeeper and asked Ren Chao for peace.

"You're the owner of this shop!" Ren Chao said coldly, "Now I inform you, this store of yours and the things in it have been requisitioned, and when you finish fighting the little devils, you are going to the barracks to find me to settle the account!" Ren Chao said and turned his head and pointed to the two guards behind him, "You two stay here, responsible for distributing porridge to refugees in the city for free, remember, women are old and weak first!"
