The fighting in Beijing lasted sporadically until the early hours of the morning, when it was over! After Ren Chao led people to repel the sneak attack of the little devils on Guang'anmen, he took people back to rest directly, and Ren Chao didn't want his soldiers to work too hard.

"Lord Qiqi, the chief of staff and Brigade Commander Wang have led the troops to the outside of the city, and have exchanged fire with the little devils, and are now camping outside the city." A pro-soldier walked up to Ren Chao and said loudly.

Ren Chao nodded slightly, "En!" Calculate the time, and it's time for them to arrive! Now that they've arrived, we'll be able to ease the pressure a lot, notify them and let them stay outside the city for the time being! ”

"Yes!" The guards responded and hurriedly retreated.

Ren Chao was also tired at this time, so he fell asleep on the bed, and he slept soundly, and he was not woken up until the next morning.

"My lord, the little devil is attacking the city again!" Ren Chao, a pro-guard team, said.

"! These bitchy little devils aren't done yet! Ren Chao couldn't help but scold, hurriedly got up from the bed, washed his face with cold water, and the whole person instantly sobered up.

"Report~! Lord Qiqi, Li Zhongtang ordered us to urgently support You'anmen! ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu is a brick! Wherever you need it, you can move it! Ren Chao muttered in a low voice, then raised his hand and waved it forward and said loudly, "Brothers, walk!" Although Ren Chao complained, he was not ambiguous at all in his actions, because Ren Chao guarded the Beijing city not for Li Hongzhang, but for the people of the city.

Ren Chao led people to You'anmen quickly, and after a bloody battle, he finally beat the little devil! In the end, more than 200 little devils were blocked in the urn city, and all of them were swept away by the heavy machine guns of the Tiger Ben Army! However, in this battle, Ren Chao also found that this little devil was getting more and more desperate, Ren Chao estimated that one was because the little devil's ammunition reserves were running low, and the other was that the reinforcements of the Qing army continued to arrive. As a result, the strength of the Qing army in Beijing gradually increased. Both of these reasons forced the little devils to increase their offensive against Beijing, hoping to capture the city of Beijing as much as possible.

"See Nakado-sama!" Ren Chao saw Li Hongzhang bow and salute.

"Zifeng doesn't have to be polite, come, sit down and talk!" Li Hongzhang put aside a fold in his hand as he spoke, and said to Ren Chao with a smile, "I heard that the second batch of reinforcements from the Tiger Ben Army has arrived outside the Guangqu Gate?" ”

Ren Chao hurriedly said, "I was about to report this matter to Lord Zhongtang, and four more infantry battalions and two artillery battalions of my Huben Army have rushed to the outside of Beijing, and they are now stationed about twenty miles outside the Guangqu Gate. ”

"Good! That's great! Li Hongzhang calculated in his heart, four infantry battalions and two artillery battalions are another 3,000 troops. And it is a tiger army that is not weak in combat effectiveness, with these 3,000 more people, Beijing City is a little more stable, as long as there is no accident, Beijing City can be regarded as preserved, because Ma Yukun's department will also rush to Beijing in these two days, so that the little devil will be even more useless. Li Hongzhang was excited in his heart, but then he showed a hint of doubt, "Zifeng! Now that they have arrived. Why not let them take a detour into town? ”

"Back to Lord Zhongtang, I have an idea, I don't know if it's feasible, and I'm about to ask Lord Zhongtang for advice?" Ren Chao said respectfully.

"Oh! Let's hear it! Li Hongzhang said with interest.

"Humble listening. The 10,000 people of Ma Yukun's department have landed at Dagukou and are about to rush to Beijing in the next two days! I thought that if I could launch an attack on the Japanese Sixth Division outside the Guangqu Gate with Ma Yukun's subordinates, then our troops defending the city would go out of the city to respond. Under the internal and external attack, the Japanese Sixth Division will be defeated in one fell swoop! Even if the 6th Division could not be completely annihilated, most of it could be annihilated, and the Japanese army would only have a 2nd Division left. It will not last, so if our army concentrates all its strength on the counteroffensive, it will certainly be able to defeat the Japanese army in one fell swoop and completely lift the siege of Beijing. Ren Chao bowed down and said his thoughts, secretly observing Li Hongzhang's reaction, only to see Li Hongzhang ponder for a moment after hearing this, and then showed a smile. Ma Yukun's department originally did not have so many people, but after Wei Rugui was dismissed and sent to Beijing, the soldiers and horses of the original Wei Rugui's department were temporarily handed over to Ma Yukun for control, so that Ma Yukun's department increased to 8,000 people, and then supplemented part of the troops, making the total strength reach 10,000.

Li Hongzhang nodded slightly, and said with a smile, "Although this move is somewhat risky, it is the way to win!" Previously, Li Hongzhang was thinking about how to keep the Beijing city, and because he cared too much about the gains and losses of the Beijing city, his thoughts were inevitably a little conservative. I only thought about keeping the city of Beijing first, and then dealing a fatal blow to the Japanese army when the Japanese army's sharp energy was exhausted. Li Hongzhang really didn't think about launching a counteroffensive at this time, but now that Ren Chao suddenly mentioned it, after thinking about it a little, he also felt that this move was feasible. But Li Hongzhang was also worried in his heart that if he failed and the Japanese army took the opportunity to break into the city, it would be a big trouble, so Li Hongzhang was still a little hesitant for a while.

Seeing the hesitation on Li Hongzhang's face, Ren Chao continued, "I think that the little devil has been fighting from Shandong to Beijing, trekking thousands of miles, and fighting continuously, and he is already a tired army. Moreover, the rear route of the Japanese army was cut off, and there was no reinforcement and lack of supplies, so it was already the end of the strong crossbow to be able to hold on until now. As long as our army seizes this opportunity and gives it a fatal blow, it will definitely be able to perform in one fell swoop! ”

Li Hongzhang stared at Ren Chao, Ren Chao's well-known spirit finally persuaded Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "What you said is good, just do what you say!" I immediately ordered someone to inform Ma Yukun and ask him to fully assist you, and when the time comes, you will personally lead the Tiger Ben army out of the city to meet you! ”

"Order!" Ren Chao bowed down to receive the order. Although Li Hongzhang only ordered Ren Chao to lead the Tiger Ben army out of the city to meet him for the sake of insurance, Ren Chao's goal had been achieved. With the help of Ma Yukun's 10,000 army, and his 5,000 Tiger Ben army, he can't deal with a desperate Sixth Division, so he doesn't have to mess around. It's just that the only thing to worry about now is when Ma Yukun's army will arrive, and then the two chatted a few more words, Ren Chao got up and retreated, and went back to prepare!

But in the afternoon of the same day, Ren Chao received a piece of information that disappointed him deeply, when Ma Yukun's 10,000 troops were traveling to the vicinity of Langfang, they suddenly encountered the Seventh Division led by Nagayama Tetsushiro, and a fierce battle broke out between the two armies. Ma Yukun's troops were defeated, retreated fifteen miles, and were blocked in Langfang, unable to reinforce Beijing for the time being. It turned out that the 7th Division and Song Qing's headquarters confronted each other in the Jinghai area, and the Japanese army could not attack for a long time, so they gave up the attack, leaving only a small part of the troops to contain Song Qing's army, and its main force rushed to Langfang overnight, in order to block the Qing army troops reinforcing Beijing. After Ren Chao got the news, he couldn't help but sigh, he was not afraid of enemies like tigers, but he was afraid of teammates like pigs. (To be continued......)
