Chapter 741: A Difficult New Army

Yang Meng instructed An Dehai to find an imperial doctor, get a dose of soothing decoction for the four-color stick, and after retiring the palace maid and eunuch, Yang Meng and An Dehai stayed outside the Sui'an room and chatted.

An Dehai, a minion, is a man who can speak well, and it seems that the characters who can turn the clouds and rain have some ability, and Yang Meng is also understanding some people and things in the imperial city through An Dehai's mouth.

Perhaps because he was used to serving the four-color stick, An Dehai's ability to summarize and express himself was good, and the circle of the imperial city and the capital was not large, so he gave Yang Meng a rough idea.

First the court meeting and then the Dongnuan Pavilion meeting, it was close to the early hours of the morning, the four-color stick had already said hello, to sleep peacefully for a day, and the prescription given by the imperial doctor was also to let the emperor recuperate more, with these, Yang Meng estimated that he still had more than half a day, and he could enjoy the emperor's woman.

Just when Yang Meng's stomach was full of filth, the vanguard of the 5,000 new army led by Wei Huozi confronted the British and French forces at Bali Bridge.

Sushun's men and horses should be the last defensive force of the Qing Jing Division, the commander of the British and French coalition forces has a rough guess, maybe the huge harvest is today, according to intelligence, the Qing Jing Division is still thirty or forty miles away from the Bali Bridge, in order to enter the Qing Jing Division one step earlier, the coalition army also got up early in the morning.

Nearly 2,000 people were killed and more than 1,000 people were wounded, but compared to these losses, their results were undoubtedly very huge, although they ran a lot of Qing soldiers, but in these ten days, the number of enemies killed by the British and French coalition forces should be around 40,000 or 50,000.

The ammunition and supplies of this coalition army are almost at the bottom, and it is time to speed up the march in order to replenish them.

The ambush of the Wei camel. It was probably set up in the rear area of the Sushun position. Although it was a busy night's work. However, the quiet construction of fortifications is still somewhat difficult for the Jiangnan New Army, and the fortifications built overnight can only be regarded as barely usable.

The Anglo-French coalition army that won a big victory last night was similar to what Wei Huozi expected, without an advance team, the brigade directly stepped on the broken position set by Sushun.

"Hit!"

The ambush battle was fought under the personal command of Wei Huozi. However, the reaction speed of the British and French forces exceeded Wei Huozi's imagination, and in just two quarters of an hour, after paying hundreds of casualties, the British and French troops began to fight a counterattack according to the position of Sushun.

An ambush battle, two quarters of an hour into an encounter, Wei Huozi can only sigh secretly, if it is his direct new army, maybe it can cause more than 1,000 kills and injuries to the British and French forces, right?

Compared to the Anglo-French forces. The movements of the Jiangnan march were too rigid, and they beat people in fifty steps. If you choose to hit people at 20 steps, the losses caused by this group of new troops to the British and French forces will be even greater.

Fifty steps to hit people, twenty steps to the head, is Yang Meng set the shooting training standard for the new army, the so-called fifty steps to hit people, is to aim at the chest and abdomen about 100 meters to shoot; The so-called 20 steps to the head is to aim at the head and shoot at a distance of 30 to 50 meters; These are just the standards of training, and in actual combat, the large Mini buckshot equipped by Dresser, not to mention between the chest and abdomen, or in the arm, is likely to bleed to death due to the current level of medical care.

The British and French forces were undoubtedly much stronger than the Jiangnan New Army in shooting and responding, and they fought at close range, and shot decisively after aiming at a long distance.

The Forces nouvelles have been targeting for too long, and many have lost their lives as a result.

"Grab it and hit it!"

Wei Huozi's order also made a mistake that was not too big or small: If the new army in Yunnan could shoot within 70 or 80 meters without aiming and raising a gun, it would have an accuracy rate of at least 70 or 80 percent, while the new army in Jiangnan had not yet received such training, so it would shoot with a gun raised, and although the rate of shooting had gone up, the accuracy of shooting had dropped by a large margin.

The ambush battle turned into an encounter, about an hour later, the British and French forces that reacted quickly quickly consolidated the remaining positions in Sushun, and the encounter on Wei Huozi's side became a tough battle, and the casualties of the new army were increasing, Wei Huozi looked at the soldiers around him helplessly, this ambush training was a failure!

"Fire! Reserves make up! ”

Wei Huozi's 40,000 Jiangnan New Army is not only much worse in training, but also a lot worse than the Yunnan New Army in terms of the number of artillery, if it is the Yunnan New Army, how can a team of 40,000 people have 10,000 artillery and 1,000 artillery, and the batch of Jiangnan New Army under his command only has more than 100 mortar guns and more than 200 field guns, and the number of shells is not enough to fight a war of attrition.

Of the 300 artillery pieces, there are only more than 100 mortars available, and if you want to inflict effective damage on the enemy, the curvilinear ballistic mortar is undoubtedly the best choice.

The most important thing is that Wei Huozi can't lose the geographical advantage of the Bali Bridge, although the river is narrow, but it is still unfavorable for the British and French forces, if they want to attack the Bali Bridge, they have to experience the back attack in the river, and if they have an advantage, they will naturally have to occupy the advantage, and defend it hard, that is a fool's way of playing.

One hundred mortars is not much for Wei Huozi, but for the Anglo-French army, the number is extremely large, and the fierce artillery fire made the Anglo-French army choose to retreat.

Recaptured Sushun's position, Wei Huozi counted the number of people, 5,000 forwards, more than 2,000 killed, more than 300 seriously wounded, more than 1,000 lightly injured, and a team of 5,000 people.

I counted the corpses of the British and French troops, more than 1,300, killed more than 300 wounded soldiers, calculated the battle damage, two to one!

"! More than 20,000 people spread out along the original positions and quickly consolidated the original fortifications!

Summarize the battle report and send it to the third master of the Beijing Division!

Prepare a sand table, deduce the battle just now, and find out the weaknesses of the Anglo-French forces!

The idle stripped off the military uniform of the foreign devil, chopped off his head, and piled up the corpses into a line of defense! Bury our dead men on the spot! ”

Wei Huozi's decision-making was carried out under the witness of more than 100 officers, and training troops in actual combat was Yang Meng's request to Wei Huozi.

In terms of victory and defeat. Yang Meng already has a bottom. He brought with him an army of 210,000. There are 150,000 people who participated in the war, if five to one can't defeat the British and French coalition forces, then Yang Meng doesn't have to do anything, just wipe his neck!

The sudden ambush battle, one after another, was bombarded off the Bali Bridge position, with nearly 3,000 casualties, the commander of the British and French forces. was also angry, the casualties in four hours, since they exceeded the total of the previous ten days, after receiving the news that reinforcements were about to arrive, the British and French troops also launched one charge after another against the Bali Bridge position defended by Wei Huozi.

Artillery battles, melee combat, hand-to-hand combat, reinforcements arrived was a crowd tactic, from early morning to noon, the passive defense of Wei Huozi was able to fight a draw with the British and French forces.

There were more than 10,000 dead and wounded on Wei Huozi's side, and seven or eight thousand dead and wounded on the Anglo-French side. In terms of results, Wei Huozi is a tie. But Wei Huozi has the advantage of geography and fortifications, so calculated, in this battle, Wei Huozi was actually defeated, the defensive battle loss rate of two to one, the new army in Jiangnan, in combat strength is indeed a big difference with the British and French forces.

Wei Huozi fought to the death on the front line, but Yang Meng was in the Dongnuan Pavilion, ravaging the queen Niu Colu who was ravaging the four-color stick in front of An Dehai, and the four-color stick fell asleep to death, and An Dehai was instigated by Yang Meng, smoking too much cloud smoke, and was rolling his eyes and daydreaming!

Yang Meng quietly walked into the four-color stick to rest, and sure enough, the four-color stick had a good life, and he was sleeping with beauty!

covered Concubine Yi's mouth and forcibly pulled her down from the palace, this is the best of the three daughters, the future Cixi! Yang Meng is also willing to taste it a few more times, from the entrustment to the Sui Anroom to the Dongnuan Pavilion guarded by An Dehai, unlike the other two, this Concubine Yi seems to be happy to do so.

And Concubine Li, one of the three daughters, was a little sick, in front of An Dehai, after a few strokes in front of her, Yang Meng let her go, the most fun thing is just the queen, full of work with slight resistance, I am afraid that every man likes it.

"Yang Butang, please respect yourself!"

This is what Yang Meng said after she pulled up the queen.

"If you get heavier, how can you explain it to the emperor?"

This is Yang Meng's answer, some things are not known to the two of them, but to the three of them, with the encouragement of Concubine Yi, Niu Colu has no choice but to let Yang Meng do it.

The same is from the post to the Sui'an room to the East Warm Pavilion, the first two rooms are okay, when I saw An Dehai shaking his head on the round bench and waving his arms, the queen's resistance was particularly fierce, Yang Meng responded to it violently, and finally threw the red-eyed queen to the side of the four-color stick, Yang Meng's threat was still the same.

"If you are looking for death, let you check the tooth marks on your body, is it the emperor's, you can see it at a glance, after a month, your body is heavy, and there is nothing to be cunning, learn from Concubine Yi, and enjoy it silently if you can't resist!"

Yang Meng's threat was very effective, and under the persuasion of Concubine Yi and Concubine Li, she stopped sobbing, and just looked at Yang Meng's eyes, extremely desperate.

"Huh...... Want to kill Lao Tzu? Waiting for a dozen people to be close to you, you have to bear the consequences if you do this, the people who guard the palace are all singles, they don't mind a few people using it! ”

Things in the palace are so helpless, after two times in a row, the third girl was almost held by Yang Meng, and next, it was the sleeping four-color stick.

After tidying up his clothes, he made them on the round stool in a dignified manner, and when An Dehai regained his senses, Yang Meng saw a suspicious look in his eyes, although An Dehai was delirious at that time, but he would leave some impressions.

"This thing should be measured, if you inhale too much, there is a hallucination, although it can relieve fatigue, but it is too much! The emperor sometimes sucks some, but if you don't have it, you add some to the emperor. ”

While warning, he gave An Dehai a small brocade bag, which contained a large bottle of cloud smoke, which was left by An Dehai's side, also to save the four-color stick.

"It's a good thing, it's just a little bit less!"

An Dehai shook his head, wanting to quickly get rid of some things in his mind that shouldn't be stored in zĂ i, but those things became clearer and clearer the more he threw them away, just now this Yang Butang seemed to be ravaging the queen, right? It seems that there is still Concubine Yi? It seems that there is still a concubine?

The more An Dehai's head shook, the more things in his mind, after thinking about the emperor's concubines, he could only helplessly think that this was an illusion, although the queen, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Li were in the entrustment, but this Yang Butang didn't know! And it is impossible for other concubines to come to this East Warm Pavilion.

"Humph! Missing? A small spoonful of this thing costs a hundred taels of gold, and you can't buy it with any amount of money, this brocade bag is worth 10,000 gold! Use it carefully, if it's gone, you'll have to wait for the next year. ”

The eunuch has money and no place to spend, Yunyan has a miraculous effect, after Yang Meng exaggerated the value of Yunyan, An Dehai also cherished the brocade bag into his arms.

In fact, the most important thing for Yang Meng was to look at An Dehai's expression, seeing that he turned from suspicion to helplessness, Yang Meng knew that this level had passed smoothly.

"Oops! This thing is so expensive, where did you get it? ”

"Nanyang, only a few catties a year, but it takes hundreds of thousands of people to plant medicinal herbs, this thing cures all diseases, there is a headache and brain fever to suck some race immortals!"

"Sai Shenxian, good name, what do you think?"

"You're smart, would you like to follow the main department?"

"What the ministry said, the emperor treats the ministry better than his own brothers, and the ministry is willing to bring Xiao Anzi, which is Xiao Anzi's blessing!"

"Do you know what to do?"

"You know, it's nothing more than the emperor's daily life!"

"Do you know what happened to offending Lao Tzu?"

"The power of the ministry is towering, and Xiao Anzi doesn't dare to touch the tiger's whiskers if the ministry doesn't fall!"

"What a good job! Follow the main hall to mix, it will come from the good things that have you! ”

The conversation between Yang Meng and An Dehai is also commonplace in the palace ban, the minister befriends the eunuch, the prince befriends the eunuch, and the eunuch also needs the help of the prince and the minister, this is the business in the palace ban. (To be continued......)
