The battlefield in front of the sky was full of murderous sounds, bayonets were red, one after another soldiers fell, the British army was numerous, and gradually surrounded on all sides and three sides, and the Han army was divided and surrounded in several high places, forming a formation.

"Don't mess around, everyone!" Tang Liang felt that he had done something wrong, and the good situation had only evolved like this because he underestimated the enemy.

"Formation!"

"Formation!"

At the critical moment, it was the cadets of the military academy who played a key role, chanting one by one and forming a formation, and gradually holding their positions.

Above the city tower, Li Yunzhong became more and more angry the more he looked at it, put down the binoculars suddenly, and asked Zhao Liewen: "Zhao Liewen has courage and no strategy!" I've used the wrong person! When will reinforcements arrive? ”

"According to the time, it will take two hours!" Zhao Liewen counted on his fingers, and pushed back the time.

Li Yunzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Send the soldiers in the city to Lu and bring in the brothers on the battlefield!" ”

"Never!" Zhao Liewen immediately knelt down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, by all means, there are only 4,000 soldiers in the city, and the rest of the soldiers are in danger of holding on outside the city. The emperor is in danger! ”

"I know if it's dangerous or not, but the army outside the city is about to be wiped out, although there are many enemies, but in the end the gains outweigh the losses!" Li Yunzhong pointed and said angrily: "As soon as the position outside the city is lost, the British artillery can bombard Tianjin, which one is not in danger at that time!" ”

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Emperor! Reinforcements have arrived! Reinforcements have arrived! Zhang Suimou ran up to the city tower panting and shouted: "Your Majesty, the reinforcements have arrived, and it is the Minister of the Navy Ling 18 leading the army!" ”

Li Yunzhong saw that under the city pass, there were indeed seven or eight thousand people lined up, and Ling Eighteen rode a horse to the front. Dressed in military uniform, he raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Li Yunzhong was.

"Kill!" Li Yunzhong pointed to the position ten miles ahead. Shout out to Ling Eighteen.

Zhao Liewen hurriedly signaled to the flag soldier beside him and waved the flag. After a while, Ling 18 formed a team, divided into more than a dozen detachments with battalions as a unit, and rushed to the eastern position.

"Reinforcements are coming!" Tang Liang saw the gunshots behind him at a glance, and knew that the reinforcements of the Lu Dao had arrived, and he redoubled his strength to wield the big sword,

Clinton saw a large group of men and horses pouring out of the rear of the Han army, and hurriedly gave the order to open fire on the artillery team, and for a time the sound of artillery resounded throughout the earth. In less than half an hour, the Han army gathered together, and the machine guns were also useful, and the sound of da-da-da became a nightmare for the British army.

Clinton sighed in disappointment and ordered his surroundings: "Collect the troops and let the warriors withdraw!" ”

Forehead sweating. He felt that he was wrong, the strength of the Han army was beyond imagination, although the military quality of the generals was not as good as that of the British army, but the soldiers were brave. The ordnance is advanced, far beyond their imagination.

Bao Ling shook his head slightly, and sighed to He Bu, who was traveling with the army: "The strength of the Han army has improved again. The general trend has been achieved! ”

Although Hebu was surprised, he was far less shocked than the army generals. No matter how powerful the army is, he can still run to the sea to fight. Even if they ran to the sea, the huge cannons on his warship would blow them up.

Pashali was full of disappointment, and his mind of taking advantage of the fire to rob was shattered, and he suddenly scolded loudly: "These damn bastards, bastards! These sons of bitches! There isn't a single good thing about the Gallic chickens, they must have gotten the news in advance, damn the Gallic chickens! ”

Erjin's whole body was weak, his head was dizzy, he had his share in this war, it was he who impassionedly said in the parliament that the Han State was weak, the Han army was vulnerable, and now he lost the first battle, how should he explain when he goes back.

Without the cooperation of the French army, he would have been bound in the Far East, for fear that other powers would take advantage of the fire to loot, and if there were 100,000 troops, he would still have the confidence to attack Beijing, but 20,000 was too little.

"Let's make peace! The Han army has risen! Seeing that his side had withdrawn safely, Clinton had no intention of continuing the fighting.

Ergin asked, "Shall we fight this battle?" ”

Bao Ling sneered: "You still want to continue fighting? Let me tell you, the Han army still has a million troops, and when the winter snow melts, we can immediately return to help, and then it is not whether we want to negotiate peace, but how to save our lives! ”

Seeing Clinton looking at him, Pashali smiled bitterly and stepped forward and said, "Since the general is determined to negotiate peace, then I will go and make an appointment to armistice to prevent the two sides from firing and continuing this boring war." ”

Bao Ling echoed: "Let me lead the way, I know His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty best." ”

Clinton talked with Bao Ling and Pashali for a while and discussed the bottom line of the peace talks.

Li Yunzhong saw the retreat of the British army with his own eyes, so he put down the binoculars and smiled at the left and right: "This one is really dangerous!" It seems that the British army is not very good! Haha ”

Zhao Liewen wiped his cold sweat, smiled for a while, and admonished: "Your Majesty, let's go down, I heard that the British artillery can bombard more than ten miles, in case it hits Tianjin and is shocked, the minister will be sentenced to death!" ”

The reinforcements have arrived, Li Yunzhong can finally rest assured, and said loudly: "Order, go back!" ”

Hu Mengjun, the household servant, was holding a book of folds, and in a hurry, he bumped into Li Yunzhong on the women's wall, hurriedly saluted, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Tianjin is out of grain!" ”

"Out of food? What kind of food is cut off? Didn't Nanjing ship it over? There is also train transportation, how can there be no food! Li Yunzhong didn't look at it, so he threw it on the ground.

Hu Mengjun had a bitter face and replied: "Your Majesty, there is a great drought in Shandong, and the grain passing through Shandong has been stopped by the governor of Shandong Province and the political envoy, and it has been distributed to the victims nearby, and the food is gone!" ”

Li Yunzhong was dizzy and asked, "Who is the governor of Shandong?" ”

"The governor of Shandong Province is Peng Yunzhang!" Lin Daji replied without thinking.

"What did he do for him! Don't you know that the food is used on the front line! Li Yunzhong was so angry that the grain in the city could last for three days, because in recent years, he had been transferred to Mongolia to transfer grain, and Beijing had no grain to adjust, so what should I do!

Hu Mengjun had a strange expression and replied: "He said to buy benevolence for the emperor!" ”

"Benevolence? Is he Lao Tzu Meng Weijun! Passing on the decree, Peng Yunzhang resisted the decree and misled the country, and was immediately beheaded! ”

Zhao Liewen hurriedly admonished: "The emperor thinks twice! Peng Yunzhang is a famous man, he can't be killed! ”

Li Yunzhong said angrily: "Don't kill!" Three days later, I went to drink the northwest wind! How do you ask me to explain to the soldiers! ”

"Your Majesty, the British envoy asks to see you!"

Li Yunzhong was slightly stunned, and asked loudly: "British envoys?" What's his name? ”

"Emperor Qiqi, there is a person who claims to be Bao Ling, and he says you know him!"

"Bao Ling! It's this guy again, untrustworthy bastard! Li Yunzhong was angry when he thought of Bao Ling, this guy swore an oath to persuade the British army to quit, but he didn't expect to be the first to become the leading party!

"No one is allowed to reveal the lack of food, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

"Yes!" (To be continued......)
