"Boom! Rumble! A red light flashed in the muzzle, and more than 60 Type 2 infantry guns of the Western Sichuan Army began to erupt flames, and one after another, with a sharp sound of breaking the air, smashed fiercely into the head of the Beijing Division.

"Shelling, lying down! Two adults, this is dangerous, please go down to the city immediately! "Guarding Xu Gengshen and Prince Su Aixin Jueluo? The generals of Shanqi immediately set up the two of them and pulled them under the city wall.

"Boom!" The shells exploded on the city wall, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, who had no time to dodge, were blown up high into the air and fell to the city to shatter their bones. Shrapnel flew sideways, forming a metal storm that swept across the city walls, causing very heavy casualties to the Eight Banners Army defending the city.

Xu Gengshen and Shanqi were put down the city wall by their subordinates in a daze, but they were also very wolf-like, the official uniforms on their bodies were torn, and the top on their heads was no longer known where to throw them. Both of them had deep fear on their faces. Obviously, I was frightened enough by the shelling of the western Sichuan army just now.

"Those damn bandits, they dare to shell the capital, it's a crime that deserves death!" Xu Gengshen said angrily.

"Fight back! And what about our artillery? Fight back for me, and teach those bandits a hard lesson! Shanqi also blushed and ordered loudly. Obviously, he was also enraged by the shelling of the Western Sichuan Army.

Soon, the artillery fire of the Qing army also began to roar. However, the military affairs of these Eight Banners soldiers were slack, and although there were many artillery pieces on the walls of the Beijing Division, most of them were old. And these artillerymen were negligent in training, and their accuracy was very bad. Hundreds of cannons fired. None of them hit the artillery positions of the Western Sichuan Army.

"Stop the shelling, adjust the firing angle, target the Qing artillery on the city wall!" The commanders of the two artillery battalions of the Western Sichuan Army immediately made adjustments. Destroy the opponent's artillery. First of all, it is always the most important thing to remove the threat of the other side to your side.

"The shelling of the bandit army in western Sichuan has stopped, and our counterattack is still useful!" Prince Su said with a smile. He was young and vigorous, and he became the commander of the Eight Banners by virtue of his own identity and Cixi's trust, and in fact, he had no ability at all in military affairs. Otherwise, these Eight Banners soldiers would not be so vulnerable.

"Boom! Rumble! As soon as he finished speaking, the shelling of the western Sichuan army began again. Merely. This time, the direction that the Western Sichuan Army was aiming at was obviously the artillery of the Qing army. Those artillerymen who were manipulating the cannons, and those who were suddenly bombed crying for their fathers and mothers, couldn't care about manipulating the cannons. Wolves fled for their lives. The cannon was also blown up like a twist.

Shanqi's face suddenly turned black like the bottom of a pot, this is simply a naked slap in the face! He is a dignified prince, and he is also the number one person in the entire Qing Dynasty. Now Kawanishi doesn't take him seriously at all! In addition, the appearance of these Eight Banner soldiers is really too bad, so that there is no place to put his face as a coach!

The artillery of the Western Sichuan Army raged for more than half an hour before stopping. It's not that Wang Yuze doesn't want to continue shelling. It's really not much ammunition this time, so I have to save some money! In case something happens. The cannon has to leave enough ammunition behind!

After the shelling stopped, the Western Sichuan Army withdrew from the castle. retreated to a place twenty miles away and set up camp, looking like they were preparing to confront the Qing army for a long time, which made Xu Gengshen and Shanqi feel bitter for a while. If the Western Sichuan Army does not retreat for a day, the two of them will have to bear tremendous pressure! Especially Xu Gengshen, now Emperor Guangxu is already very dissatisfied with him.

"Lord Xu, the emperor has summoned you!" Just then, one of the royal guards came to announce the decree. The artillery bombardment of the Western Sichuan Army just now made such a big move, and the entire Beijing division already knew about it, and it was obvious that Emperor Guangxu was very dissatisfied with this.

Xu Geng didn't dare to slack off, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, and went directly to the palace to see Guangxu.

The shelling of the Western Sichuan Army also caused a great shock to the subjects of the Beijing Division, who were afraid that the Western Sichuan Army would enter the city, so they packed up their finesse and fled for their lives as soon as the city gate was opened. In the eyes of ordinary people, because of the propaganda of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, western Sichuan has become a chaotic bandit who does all kinds of evil.

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Guangxu is talking to Weng Tongyi. However, his face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he had been quite frightened by the shelling just now.

"Master Weng, when will my new Praetorian Guard return?" Emperor Guangxu said with some horror. He also has no hope for those soldiers of the Eight Banners who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, fight cocks and walk dogs.

"To return to the emperor, it will take ten days at the earliest. If the new Janissaries returned, it would not be a cause for concern to become the Western Sichuan Army. However, Your Majesty, your biggest enemy is not the west of Sichuan, but the west side! If the Qing Dynasty wants to prosper, there must be a master! And if the emperor wants to become the master, he obviously has to control all the power of the court! Weng Tong persuaded him.

"Master Weng, don't worry, when the bandits in western Sichuan are driven away, I will start to act. This time, I won't be relentless. Even if you give a little benefit to western Sichuan for the time being, you must first stabilize the interior! Emperor Guangxu's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, a little eunuch with his head bowed, after hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. But then, there was a calm in his eyes, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Soon, Xu Geng entered the palace.

"Minister Xu Geng bowed to see the emperor! Long live my emperor, long live, long live! Xu Geng knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Get up! Xu Aiqing, why did you get such a wolf bèi? When it came to Xu Geng's wolf appearance, Emperor Guangxu frowned.

"Go back to the emperor. When the bandits in western Sichuan shelled just now, the minister happened to be at the head of the city, so it became what it is now! Xu Gengshen replied embarrassedly.

"Oh? I see! When Emperor Guangxu heard Xu Gengshen say this, his face improved a lot.

"Is the Western Sichuan Army really that powerful? Will you be able to withstand their attacks? Weng Tongyi also asked. If the Western Sichuan Army breaks through the Beijing Division, then all the things they planned before will be over, and it will be useless to say anything more.

"The walls of the capital city are thick enough to withstand the attack of the western Sichuan army. However, several of the gates appeared to be very weak. If the western Sichuan military blew open the city gates with explosives, they would be able to drive straight in. With the combat power of the Eight Banners, it is difficult to resist. The emperor implored the emperor to order that all the seven gates of the outer city be blocked with sandbags, so as to prevent the western Sichuan army from blowing up the city gates, so as to guide the western Sichuan army to attack the Beijing division. Last night, the minister compiled the battle reports from the front. The Western Sichuan Army often used this trick when dealing with our fortified cities. In order to prevent problems before they happen, Chen believes that it is very necessary to do so! Xu Gengshen pleaded.

"But the city gate is blocked, what if he returns to the new army of the Praetorian Guard?" Emperor Guangxu frowned.

"Your Majesty, as long as you remove all these sandbags when the time comes. It won't make any difference! Xu Gengshen hurriedly said.

Emperor Guangxu greeted Weng Tongxiao, and after nodding to Weng Tonggong, he made up his mind.

"Alright then, just do as you want! Xu Aiqing, I will hand over the defense of the Jingshi to you, and you must ensure that the Jingshi is not lost before the return of the Praetorian New Army! Emperor Guangxu said sharply.

"The minister's decree, please rest assured, if the Western Sichuan Army wants to break through the Beijing Division, it must first kill the minister." Xu Geng said with righteousness.

Forbidden City, Chuxiu Palace. Shi Duo entered the palace when the Western Sichuan Army began to bombard, and rushed to perform a good show of loyal escort in front of Cixi. It's just that Cixi is fully aware of his thoughts.

"Queen Mother, the slave heard that the artillery of the bandits in western Sichuan is powerful! More powerful than the artillery of the new army. If, if the Jingshi can't hold on, even if the slave gives up this old life, he must ensure that the Queen Mother leaves the Jingshi safely. We will go outside the gate, there is our land of Longxing, and in the future, we will be able to learn from our ancestors and enter the gate again! Shi Duo said with red eyes.

"Alright, alright! The mourning family knows that you are loyal, isn't it good that you haven't reached that point now? If you return to the land of Longxing outside the Guanwai, there is no need to talk about it. The ancestors of the Aixin Jueluo family finally laid down this great country, how could they lose it like this! Empress Dowager Cixi reprimanded.

"Yes, the minion is wrong. However, the emperor's actions are still a little inappropriate! According to the slaves, the world of the Qing Dynasty still has to rely on the Queen Mother to be at the helm! Priest pouted again. Since he was dismissed as the Minister of the Foreman of the Military Aircraft, his Prince Li's Mansion has been much deserted, and it has completely lost the pomp and circumstance of the previous one.

Cixi didn't say much, as if considering Shidor's words.

At this time, a eunuch walked in, and after saying a few words in the ear of the chief eunuch Li Lianying, he withdrew. However, Li Lianying's face changed greatly.

Li Lianying immediately attached herself to Cixi's ear and said a few words. Suddenly, Cixi's face changed.

"Smack!" Cixi threw the teacup in her hand to the ground and shattered it.

"What a wolf cub who can't be raised, the mourning family has always been concerned about the relationship between mother and son, but I didn't expect that it has always been the mourning family's own affection, and for the sake of a little power, I want to do something to the mourning family. What an ungrateful fellow! In that case, don't blame the mourners for being unkind to me! Cixi said angrily. It looked like an enraged old witch.

Shi Duo was immediately overjoyed, of course he knew who the wolf cub in Cixi's mouth was.

"Shiduo, you leave the palace immediately and go to see Shanqi. Ask him to guarantee the center of the Eight Banners. As soon as the mourner has a life, he must do it immediately! Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly.

"Yes, Queen Mother! The minion immediately went to see Shanqi! Shi Duo immediately knelt down and went to Shanqi, he seemed to go to Cixi out of the mountain, and then he was flying again.
