Chapter 253: The Battle of the Concession (1)

"Hey, hey!"

"It's strange, it stands to reason that the people inside are more horizontal than the outside, why did they open it?"

"That's right! The guns are all fired, and you still care about the nonsense of a group of birdmen? I said, "Isn't it going to be a dead hand?" Guys, let's stay away, don't cook blood! ”

"Yes, yes! Slipping back, our physique can't withstand foreign guns and cannons. ”

Seeing the lively crowd hula-la dodging dozens of meters, and the boss dodged between the encirclements, the Qing army, who was originally a little safe, suddenly felt as if he had been stripped of his coat, and Zhou was very uncomfortable. The soldiers in the back looked left and right and felt that it was inappropriate, and quietly moved back.

The commotion behind him did not attract the attention of the general in front of him, his mental head was all in front of him, although he was startled by the gunshot, but the door was open, undoubtedly releasing a signal that was more favorable to him. At the very least, someone took care of .......

The towering iron gate was like a big mouth in a demon cave, and everyone's heartstrings were pulled and they didn't dare to relax until they were completely opened. Two groups of black-clad and black-helmeted concession guards armed with rifles marched out in orderly steps, lined up on both sides of the river, and aimed their guns at the Qing army.

The German Muller, who was as big as a big bear, walked last, with long leather boots and armed belts, and his hands crossed his waist like a tower standing at the head of the bridge, and he shouted angrily: "Who is making trouble at the gate of the concession?" ”

Trouble?!

Qing Jiang's eyes widened, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak for several times.

It's really a statement that Tetera responds to. With our army, thousands of people are surging and besieging the concessions, obviously looking like they want to be flattened in one fell swoop. In your eyes. It turned out to be Cheng DΓΉ, a street hooligan looking for fault and fighting. It's just too contemptuous of people!

But. First of all, he provoked a foreign devil, which made the Qing general a little uncertain for a while. The order he received was to storm and arrest those who should be arrested, and the Americans would not give an opinion. But there is also a time limit, and it is even more specific that the foreigners inside cannot be harmed.

The officials who came to deliver the decree also made a special point of explaining that once a foreigner was accidentally injured, it was very likely to cause uncontrollable diplomatic trouble. In particular, there were several hundred German expatriates in the American Concession, and Germany was eager to make something happen so that it could have an excuse to send troops. This opening cannot be made from them.

As a result, I was afraid of something.

When the matter came, I couldn't retreat, the Qing general coughed twice, urged the horse to step forward and shouted at the top of his throat: "This official is the commander of the infantry army, the commander of the left battalion of the Yamen, and Delin, and he is ordered to arrest the Yang family, a thief who conspires to disrupt the country, and his comrades!" The gentleman in front, please get out of the way, and don't mistakenly help the bandits commit that heinous crime! ”

He came up and detained the words first, even if he was a foreigner, he dared to help the thief and be cleaned up, and he was not afraid of a lawsuit anywhere, let's take care of it.

Muller has been learning Chinese well lately. He could understand and answer, and said bluntly: "We only have good people here." There are no traitors! You're going to catch the thief and go somewhere else! ”

"Hey, Ye is a dignified second-class military general of the imperial court, and in your mouth, he has become a military officer who catches thieves and thieves? It's just too much to see. ”

Again and again, it's unbearable!

Delin is also walking sideways in the capital, where can he eat such grievances? He didn't look at the unlucky guy who was pulled aside and wrapped up, gritted his molars and pulled out his saber, pointed to the gate of the concession and shouted: "Don't grind your teeth with him." Little ones, rush in! The first one to open the door will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to two levels! ”

"Brothers, the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune has come! There are countless gold and silver treasures, strange things and foreign goods, which are first served early, and they are on the shoulders! ”

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the cheering and cheering shouts come and go, and the commotion is in a lot.

But after shouting for a full minute, not a single person stepped forward!

Which one is a fool! I saw that the people who went up just now were shot, and now that people are in formation, so many guns, they really rushed over and shot at them, and they didn't immediately fight into a hornet's nest? If you are promoted to an official and make a fortune, you must first have a life to enjoy.

The people around them were staring wide-eyed and holding their breath, waiting for the arrival of an earth-shattering collision, but it turned out to be such a result.

"Whew! What a cowardice! The guards are all a bunch of wrecks! ”

Some of the people who looked at the people they could give the court and the flag soldiers a long face scolded in disappointment, and they couldn't go up and kick two feet by themselves.

More people ridiculed mercilessly: "I saw it earlier, Ya is just a bunch of broken urges!" The dog lifts the curtain with one mouth, and the dead dog meat can't be on the table! ”

Every time the soldiers and horses of the imperial court meet foreigners, in the end, they can't straighten their waists and raise their heads. Once the land was ceded and reparated, the people also felt ashamed and unhappy. For some bastards in the court, they are very ironclad and steely, and I hope they can rise again. Even if the American Concession is in charge of Yang Hao, it can be regarded as the territory of foreigners, and you are fucking bold once, so that you can admire it.

As a result, a foreign devil scolded twice, and he scared these dogs and things into weakness, and the Qing Kingdom was afraid that he really couldn't count on this group of bastards.

In the British Concession, the group of Qingliu scholars stomped their feet and shouted: "Go on! You're rushing! It's just a foreigner, 100 guns. You're thousands of people, and you can run over one out of ten! Why don't you dare to do it? ”

I don't know, looking at their righteous indignation, I think they are powerless. But in fact, no one tied their hands and feet, you really want to be so loyal and brave in your mouth, you should go up and set an example?

Hehe, such a dangerous thing, people can't do it. The delicate flesh is expensive, and a little skin is worth more than the heads of this group of Qiu Ba, and the risky and desperate deeds, the masters just stand on the shore to give advice and stand on their feet to cheer.

How else to say that those who pretend to be responsible for the world are often a group of cowards who throw themselves into the river and are afraid of the cold water, and their backbone and bravery only dare to be used to toss their own people.

After a long time of commotion, the result was that not a single one moved.

Qing General Delin was angry on the spot, waved his whip left and right, and scolded and scolded: "Bastard bastard!" What's wrong with the master's order? You're rushing for Lao Tzu! ”

The Qing soldiers hugged their heads and ran away. Stay away. They would rather be whipped. I don't want to go up and eat guns. It is said that the guy in front of him is huge. God knows what the big guys ended up messing around? Don't be careless and be a scapegoat, then don't do it when you are sad and urge the traders!

After all, these soldiers stationed in the capital are not as good as Li Hongzhang's Huai army. At least the generals of the Huai army are not cowardly, and when they really want to go into battle, they can fight two with a group of recruits. But this group of guys, living under the roots of the imperial city, in addition to their ability to scare the common people, are really moving. None of that can be mentioned.

A counterinsurgency that should have been strict and tragic became a farce, and the Qingliu scholars who were watching couldn't help it, and several leaders in civilian clothes looked at each other, with a hint of determination and ruthlessness on their faces.

Bow your head to the person next to you and say a few words, and the other party immediately ran out of the British Concession like a fly, and then set off a fireworks signal in the distance.

In the midst of the confrontation between the Qing troops, suddenly several gunshots rang out in succession, several soldiers fell to the ground in response, and someone shouted at the top of their voices: "The bastard on the other side has shot!" Killed! Brothers, copy the guy and fight back! ”

The shouting rang out loud of the people. Raise the gun and pull the trigger in the opposite direction, and all the bullets swished and didn't know where they flew.

But this made the other tense Qing troops get out of control! It doesn't matter if you aim or not. Dozens of guns followed, and then more guns fired, and there was a bang!

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the projectiles were flying wildly, and the two sides were fifty or sixty meters apart, and they rushed to the armed guards on the other side of the river in a mess!

A bullet grazed Mueller's cheeks, the corners of his eyes twitched, revealing the violence that had been hidden for a long time, and roared angrily: "The Qing army attacked the concession without authorization, and immediately counterattacked!" ”

With his backhand, he took out the .40 large revolver with an extended barrel from his waist, aimed it at the front and fired six shots in one breath!

When the gunfire first started, Delin immediately used a super slippery "stirrup to hide" and hid under the horse, narrowly avoiding the bullets fired from the opposite side. Immediately after him, he retreated into the formation, and the personal soldiers around him rushed up to protect him, and then the gunfire was like bursting beans, making a mess!

It's really a fight!

The people watching the excitement in the back scattered! No one can laugh this time, can there be a good one when thousands of people go to war? A single bullet can kill someone!

They didn't go far, though. Not far away is the construction site of the vocational school connected to Peiyang University, where the ridge dug up is enough to be meters high on both sides, and even the cannon can't bombard it when you climb in.

Thousands of spectators hid in Hurumlong, turned their heads and touched the concession, and did not forget to discuss: "You say, can these officers and soldiers get in?" ”

"I look at the suspense, just their two hits, where is the opponent of the Yang family's army?"

"Didn't you say that there were only about 200 people in the concession? I don't see them ...... guns on weekdays. ”

"Shhhh In exchange for your family's property of 10 million taels of silver, will you only take a bunch of sticks to guard the yard? People don't show it! Wait and see, the excitement is yet to come! ”

I really let this one speak. Suddenly, Mueller and the hundreds of guards who came out hurriedly fought back, knocking over a dozen Qing soldiers, and several of them themselves were wounded. However, they were all wearing plug-in body armor and helmets, and there were no fatal injuries.

At the critical moment, in the sentry tower behind the bridgehead sentry post and the big iron gate, Hula launched four turn-tube Green cannons - of course, not the tattered pieces of this era, but Yang Hao's improvement based on the mature version of the M134. Although it is still hand-cranked, it is a guy who can use bullet belts, and the rate of fire is as low as 350 rounds per minute, and the maximum can reach more than 600 rounds!

The explosion of the Green cannon using 7.62mm bullets "Tengteng", four iron whips struck the Qing army fiercely, stirring up a burst of flesh and blood in an instant, crying dad and mother, ghost crying wolf howl!

The thousands of people blocking the gate of the concession boarded the fryer, and I don't know who shouted, and the hula tide collapsed backwards, and in the blink of an eye, there was no one standing five hundred meters away!

The gunfire stopped suddenly, the smoke cleared, and there were only hundreds of fallen Qing soldiers on the ground at the entrance of the concession. Half of them really ate the gun, but the other half just lay down and pretended to be dead because they couldn't run.

Mueller spat the ground and shouted, "Coward! ”

Someone next to him said coldly: "Captain Mueller spitting and a fine of five yuan!" ”

"Huh?!" Muller's menacing face fell, and he turned to the guard who was a lot shorter than him and put on an ugly smile, "Brother, it's a very moment, I don't think this is a foul, right?" ”

The other party didn't pay attention to it at all, and took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote it down.

Five yuan is five oceans! He spat out a mouthful of phlegm and confiscated it.

Although it was not the first time that he had suffered a loss, and the salary was not bad, Mueller let his aching cheeks twitch. However, he didn't dare to be angry with the supervising guards, so he turned around angrily, pointed at the Qing army in front of him, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Go and arrest those bastards!" Damn it, you've cost me so much money! ”

The hapless Qing soldiers immediately became his punching bag. The guards rushed out, kicked up those who were pretending to be dead, and surrendered their guns, forcing them to carry the wounded Qing soldiers to the concession on their shoulders. As for the dead, they remain in their place.

The big iron gate of the concession was slammed shut, leaving only the smoke and blood on the ground. (To be continued......)
