The battle was decided, and the duel of 500 people on both sides was extremely rare and extremely ridiculous, but for the huge order provided by Pan Shicheng, the commercial representative of the East India Company still gritted his teeth and agreed.

Like the hapless commercial representative before him, he also saw the value of Yunyan, which was a good opportunity for the East India Company. He also enjoys the clouds and smoke every day, and the feeling of falling clouds is difficult for anyone to refuse.

The most wonderful use of cloud smoke, the Qing people may not know the way, this magical snuff, can actually help quit opium, this is the secret of the East India Company, many of the company's mercenaries are no longer smoking opium, and the harmless cloud smoke is so magical.

The role of Yunyan must not be known to those Qing people, otherwise the East India Company's annual opium sales of nearly 1,000 tons would be doomed. Without this huge income, the British East India Company would soon disappear into history.

The monopoly of Yunyan, although it can not be held in the hand, but it must not be allowed to be popular in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also the decision of the top management of the East India Company, according to the news from various ports, only Guangzhou has Yunyan, and the only seller is Pan's Tongfu Tea Shop.

The original Yunyan was provided by a Sichuan businessman, since Tongfu Tea Store sold Yunyan, the Sichuan businessman also disappeared, it seems that the sales of this Yunyan has been monopolized by Tongfu Tea Shop.

Refusing to make an appointment with the war is to push Yunyan to the Qing State, so that the blow to the East India Company will be fatal, with the magic drug of Yunyan, even if there is another war with the Qing State, opium is such a thing. It's hard to be popular anymore.

Pan Shicheng put forward the conditions for the battle. In the opinion of this business representative. It is nothing more than a declining power, an incompetent means to show its prestige, its own mercenaries, Indian mercenaries, and Qing mercenaries, the lives of these people and the survival of the company are not comparable at all, about 500 people who fight. Use as many Indian soldiers and Qing soldiers as possible, even if the whole army is wiped out, no one will care.

As for the national mercenaries who took the lead, it is normal for dozens of them to die, but which voyage does not kill people?

Moreover, the commercial representative of the East India Company was not worried about his own defeat, and it was almost impossible to annihilate the army, which was only his worst assumption.

This business representative had participated in the Battle of Gengzi, and he had seen countless incompetent Qing soldiers. Moreover, the East India Company also had a trick to deal with the Qing soldiers, that is, hand-to-hand combat.

He felt a charge. The Eastern mercenaries in his own hands can easily disperse and slaughter the armed forces of Tongfu Tea Shop, and the result of this duel is already in front of him. For this duel, what made him feel most humiliating was that he stood on the same starting line with the barbaric Qing natives, the filthy pig-stricken pigs and beasts.

Although his heart was full of disdain, the commercial representative of the East India Company still asked the mercenaries of his country to carefully train the mercenaries belonging to the Qing Kingdom in ten days. As for the Indian mercenaries, they are already familiar with their country's tactics and can participate in the war at any time.

Lixiangyuan, Pan Shicheng brought back the news that the East India Company agreed to fight, but the scale of 500 people made Yang Meng feel a little small, a family of 500 people, a total of only 1,000 people, it is difficult to show the combat power of the Yunnan New Army.

As soon as the news of the war with the covenant came back, it was the news of Ge Shiyang's family, a Belgian businessman, who provided the news that Ge Shiyang's family was detained in India, which was the biggest good news for Yang Meng.

With Ge Shiyang's family, his foreign master can be of great use, and in ten days, in addition to training the new army again, Ge Shiyang's family will be brought to the Qing Dynasty.

Ge Shiyang's family affairs have their own stewards of Pan Shicheng and Lixiangyuan to do, and what Yang Meng has to do is to let those new troops who participate in the war have the heart of not afraid of death.

How to choose these 500 people, Yang Meng also took a lot of thought, fifty people with families as team leaders, and the remaining 450 people are singles who have no home and no mouth.

With a touch of his mouth, these people can become a steel master who is not afraid of death, this is obviously impossible, and if you live for three or five or seven years, or ten or eight years, there is some hope, but now it is simply a matter of no score.

One person has five small goldfish, the team leader has ten, one person survives two hundred taels, and the death of five hundred taels is a pension, this is Yang Meng's method. The fifty squad leaders were also gathered together by Yang Meng.

"Except for five hundred taels. After you died, your family was two thousand taels. A living family of one thousand taels. Don't be in a hurry to thank you, Lao Tzu, this money is used to buy your life, buy your life!

This battle is a blow to the morale of our Yunnan New Army, no matter how many people die, we are not allowed to take a step back!

Lao Tzu's ugly words are ahead, among the fifty of you, which one dares to take a step back, if you don't die when you make an appointment, and you won't escape a knife when you come back, what should you do to weigh it in your heart.

It's not impossible to lose the battle! But you have to give your life to Lao Tzu and stay on the battlefield! After losing the battle, who retired alive, the whole family is not good!

If this battle is not fought well, the situation in Yunnan will be difficult, if the Yang family is defeated, you should think about the consequences yourself! ”

Money lure, family threats, and Yang Meng's complaints, the three things are combined, and most of the more than 50 temporary team leaders have a decisive look in their eyes.

"Third master, rest assured! If we don't win, we won't come back alive! ”

One of the articulate took the lead in kneeling down and shouted such a voice, and the others also knelt down one after another and shouted.

These shouts, some hoarse, some frightened, and some slurred, these are their oaths!

"In the past ten days, I have enough food and food, enough wine and meat, and I have trained the cubs under my hands! It doesn't matter if you beat Lao Tzu or not, but you have to give Lao Tzu the rebellious spirit of Yunnan, and the spirit of not being afraid of death!

Before you go up, how do you like to coax you, and after you go up, who dares to embarrass Lao Tzu, you think about it. Lao Tzu spent millions to build a new army, you embarrass Lao Tzu when he comes out, Lao Tzu's face has to be made up for with human lives! ”

waved off the fifty squad leaders, Qin Ziqi, a poisonous talent, quietly came to Yang Meng's courtyard.

"Something?"

The purpose of Qin Ziqi's coming. Yang Meng was roughly clear. But it's hard......

"Third master. I'll take the lead! Otherwise, those people in the new army may not have the heart to die! ”

"Just you? The new army has not been trained, and the bottom of the hand is not tough, you take the lead? Go up and die? This covenant battle, although the weight is not light, but it is not too heavy, otherwise I will be on it, what should you do or what you should do! ”

Relative to this covenant battle. Qin Ziqi's weight is heavier, he is a chess piece that balances Yunnan by himself, a chess piece that will be soaked in the blood pool in the future, and it is not impossible to go up and play, but if there is a good one, such a talent, where can I find it?

"Third master, although Ziqi can't write or martial arts, he can't move with the heart of death, and he won't necessarily die if he goes up. If you don't go up, Ziqi is afraid that it will be difficult to sharpen a bloodthirsty heart! ”

Qin Ziqi is clear about his role in the third master. He has read the books of sages and killed many people, but it is the first time he has been on the battlefield, and he can also take a look at the road of Yunnan, and this battle is also an opportunity for him.

"Why bother! Bring it with you! Don't die in the chaos! ”

Yang Meng didn't persuade much, but just took off the double armor on his body, this cuirass, at a distance of 100 meters, can still block the musket bullets.

"Thank you Sanye for success!"

Qin Ziqi picked up his armor and quietly retreated as he had come.

Five hundred new troops, with Qin Ziqi in charge, the spirit and spirit have also reached their peak in ten days.

A few days after participating in the war, Yang Meng took some cloud smoke and quietly instructed Qin Ziqi to let the 500 new army smoke a small amount, the weight of this battle in Yang Meng's heart is still extremely heavy, it is related to Yunnan's relationship with the foreign powers in the future, and he has to act cautiously.

When the time came for the battle, the heads of the fifteen merchant alliances, a few big merchants from Mifa, a few big merchants from England, and some high-ranking officials of the East India Company in Guangzhou gathered at a beach outside Guangzhou.

And the 500 Yunnan New Army under Yang Meng, under the leadership of Qin Ziqi, stood neatly on the beach.

As soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there were any of them, and these five hundred people and the Qing soldiers guarding the surroundings made several military advisers of the East India Company frown, these people were definitely elite troops with strict training.

Moreover, the Navy Brown Beth on the backs of these people is also a retired weapon of the country's navy, and how these standard weapons got into the hands of the Qing soldiers is also a question.

And the equipment of these Qing soldiers is also very unusual, a carbine version of brown bes, a saber, a long and a short bayonet, these people's equipment is no less than the regular English soldiers, and their weapons are also standard equipment, and the Qing soldiers I have seen before are very different.

After some whispering, the face of the commercial representative of the East India Company in Guangzhou also became solemn, and the Qing New Army, as soon as this thought appeared, it could not be waved out of his mind.

The time was not long, dozens of small troop carriers appeared in everyone's sight, groups of Qing people with whips, and small Indian mercenaries with turbans, slowly assembled on the beach.

After the mercenaries of the East India Company finished lining up, the business representative with a heavy mood consulted Pan Shicheng's opinion, and after the two sides nodded, Pan Shicheng waved his hand, and the firecrackers prepared in advance rang out.

The troops of 500 men on each side also began to arrange their troops, and compared to the new army in Yunnan, the mercenaries of the East India Company, in terms of military formation, were obviously trained, and a straggler line composed of three rows of soldiers slowly took shape on the beach.

The formation of the Yunnan New Army was much simpler, with a team of ten people, a platoon of fifty people, and a small phalanx in front of the mercenaries.

Before the start of the battle, the soldiers of both sides did the same thing, smoking clouds, which in the eyes of the commercial representative of the East India Company was not much different from a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and seeing the familiar gesture, he roughly guessed the way this army was coming.

He was also clear about Pan Shicheng's purpose, which was to show his attitude to the East India Company. The merchants of the Qing Kingdom also had mercenaries, was this a warning to the East India Company?

The high-level leaders of the two sides nodded, and the battle officially began, with their respective slogans, the two teams began to approach each other quickly from five hundred meters away.

The tactics of the mercenary side are obviously superior, and an arc-shaped skirmish line directly detains the Yunnan New Army in it.

The distance was getting closer and closer in the footsteps of the two engines, and the mercenaries of the East India Company began to take aim at it, while the new army in Yunnan was still advancing.

One shot, two shots, the mercenaries of the East India Company fired two shots, and the new troops in Yunnan fell one after another, and the range of the rifles was also the shortcoming of the new army in Yunnan.

After two shots, the Yunnan New Army stopped and began to aim and shoot, their reload speed was average, but the speed of fire was fast, the mercenaries fired a total of five shots, while the Yunnan New Army fired four shots.

After four shots, the Yunnan New Army launched a charge first, and after firing the last shot, they threw away their guns, drew their sabers, and attacked the mercenaries of the East India Company from both flanks, while the New Army behind continued to shoot. The charge was carried out together with the shooting, and at this moment the new army in Yunnan, having the upper hand.

With equal numbers and no great tactical advantage, the soldiers on both sides are nothing more than executing each other, and whose soldiers are more powerful has become the most important factor in determining success or failure.

As the people around him fell one by one, the mercenaries of the East India Company already showed signs of collapse, and whether they could win or not depended on the most hand-to-hand combat.

And the new army in Yunnan, in the shouting of Qin Ziqi and dozens of squad leaders, and of course some of the effects of Yunyan, also red-eyed, drew a knife and pounced into the ranks of mercenaries.

Cold weapon combat is the strength of the East India Company's mercenaries, and it is a strong point against the Shangqing soldiers, but against the Yunnan New Army, whether it is a strong point or not, you can know at a glance.

The knife hand, the new army in Yunnan, is the knife hand equipped with muskets, although the bayonets in the hands of the mercenaries are very long, but the damage caused by these bayonets is far less than the five rounds of fire.

On the other hand, the mercenaries of the East India Company have directly become the targets of slaughter from the opponents who had just fought on an equal footing, and the stragglers line also collapsed in an instant.

"Enough! We failed! ”

The barbarism of this group of Qing soldiers made the commercial representatives of the East India Company admit defeat at the first time.

The heads, arms, and thighs were cut off from living people, which is not acceptable to everyone, and the new army in Yunnan has done this to the extreme.

Many mercenaries, instead of being killed in the first place, were cut off and wailed on the beach.

"Not enough! The battle will be fought until there is no sound! ”

Yang Meng made his voice for the first time, and most of the foreign merchants present could speak a few words of Chinese, and they were suppressed by this burly Qing man with a big shiny braid on his back. (To be continued......)
