Chapter 381: There's No Reason Not to Fight
While Cui Min was being chased by the musketeers led by Marshall, the Supreme Commander of the Eight-Nation Alliance, George Brown. Gordon. Bush led another big man under his command, Gregory. Patton, commanding the main force of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army in China, copied Huang Xu's back road and blocked the main force of the Taiping Army led by Huang Xu in the imperial city.
For the Taiping Army, the situation was very critical.
Although the number of foreigners is not much, but the equipment is very sophisticated, in addition to cannons, muskets, explosives and other standing weapons, but also equipped with ten ironclad cars, the body of this car is all made of stainless steel, the general swords, guns and halberds are difficult to shake in the slightest, even if the use of the Taiping Army firearms battalion thunder, it may not work.
What's even more eye-catching is that the top of the ironclad car is equipped with a heavy cannon with a diameter that is a few points larger than the average cannon, which makes people shudder.
Once this car starts, it must be indestructible, and the Taiping army will definitely not be able to resist.
The Taiping generals were all worried about this, but they felt that there was nothing to lose.
Huang Xu also frowned, thinking hard about how to solve it.
"Marshal, according to the report of the spies, Cui Min led the people to be ambushed by the foreigners and foreign guns in the process of pursuing Xianfeng, and suffered heavy losses. Huang Xu was groaning, and he was in a hurry to report.
"What?" When Huang Xu heard this letter, he was also slightly surprised.
Huang Xu woke up suddenly, he compared the things before and after, and finally understood, they had been tricked, and what happened before was discussed in advance between Xianfeng and the foreigners, and they fell into the big deal between Xianfeng and the foreigners.
"Alas, based on the analysis of various signs, Xianfeng should have been premeditated, he colluded with foreigners, and showed weakness to us everywhere, just to make us fall into the big pit they dug in advance, unfortunately, we fell into the scheme." Huang Xu's voice was deep and authentic.
Huang Xu since the march into Shuntianfu, everywhere is cautious, never greedy for merit, and strive to make progress in stability, before he takes a step forward, he has to look at three steps first, the purpose is to strictly prevent the small actions behind the Qing army, but he defends left and right, but he never thought that Xianfeng would shamelessly collude with foreigners, it is really an insult to the ancestors, in vain for the descendants of Yan and Huang.
And. Looking at the posture of the foreigners, it is obvious that it has been planned for a long time, if the Taiping army wants to get out, it will definitely have to pay a heavy price, after all, if you want to use these crude weapons of the Taiping army to deal with the cutting-edge equipment of the foreigners, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and looking for death!
What a tricky question!
"Marshal, the last general is willing to lead the army to meet General Cui Min, and I implore the marshal to agree." Seeing that Huang Xu had been silent, Bao Ping'an asked for his life.
Bao Ping'an and Cui Min are brothers and sisters, many times through life and death, the two have long been inseparable from each other, and have formed an unbreakable deep friendship, now, Bao Ping'an heard that Cui Min was in trouble, he is all five burned, and he can't replace him, at this moment, he just wants to lead the army to save Cui Min as soon as possible, in order to solve his danger.
"General Baoping's mood, this commander can understand, but General Cui is chasing after the foreign spear team, do you have a way to deal with it?" Huang Xu raised his head and said sternly.
Saving people is like fighting fires, he understands, but, as the commander-in-chief, he must be responsible for the overall situation, even if he wants to go, he has to discuss a foolproof plan in advance, if he goes forward like this, what is the difference between it and sending him to death.
"No, but, even if he wants to die, the last general wants to die with General Cui." Bao Ping'an's tone was firm and authentic.
For the sake of brothers, for the sake of friendship, Bao Ping is ready to die.
"Okay, since General Bao insists, if the marshal opposes it again, it will be unkind, and the marshal agrees to your request, but now that we are facing the situation of the realm, you and the marshal are very clear, so the firearms battalion that can compete with the foreigners' foreign gun team, the marshal can't send it to you, and the marshal can only send 5,000 troops to you at most, and the next one will depend on you, is there a problem with the general?" Huang Xu is simple and straightforward.
"Marshal Xie is complete, and the end will be fine." Keep the peace of the stream excited to the tunnel.
Huang Xu was very grateful that he could allow him to go, how dare he ask for anything else.
"Be careful, bring the army back as much as possible, if the situation is urgent, you remember, a thousand troops are easy to get, and a general is hard to find, do you understand what Ben Shuai means?" Huang Xu patted Bao Ping'an's shoulder heavily and solemnly admonished.
He didn't want to lose two of his mighty men, and of course he wanted them to return safely.
"Yes, the words of the marshal, the last general has written it down." Bao Ping'an nodded and said solemnly.
Huang Xu's heartfelt words are in his ears, and he is only grateful in his heart to keep him safe.
"Go, be careful, after you get out of danger, come and join the brigade as much as possible." Huang Xu waved his hand lightly.
"Yes, Marshal." Bao Ping'an hugged his fist to Huang Xu and said.
Bao Ping'an replied yes, but what he thought in his heart was that he was afraid that once he left, it would be goodbye, because he had already made up his mind in his heart, and he would not look back once he went.
This reason is very simple, if you turn back, isn't it to bring back the foreign gun team, the pressure on the main force of the Taiping Army is already great enough, if you let the foreign gun team that followed Cui Min give Huang Xu and others a two-sided attack, then the main force of the Taiping Army led by Huang Xu will not be dangerous, so keeping peace will not let such a thing happen anyway.
He had already made up his mind, and did his best to drag down the foreign spear team behind Cui Min, so that it had no chance to encircle Huang Xu, as long as Huang Xu led the army to stand out, even if he and Cui Min were safe, as well as the Taiping soldiers they led were all dead, it would be worth it.
Huang Xu also seemed to see something from Bao Ping'an's resolute face, but he didn't point it out, he just sighed in his heart, how could he not understand the good intentions of Bao Ping'an.
"If you fail to join the brigade after you withdraw from Langfang, go directly to Langfang, we will wait for you in Langfang, and you must come back." HUANG Xudao.
He still hopes to come back safely.
"Yes, Marshal." Bao Ping'an Road.
After Bao Ping'an finished speaking, he saluted Huang Xu, said goodbye to Zhao Xiaofeng and the others one by one, and then, no longer cared about it, and strode out.
Is this goodbye? Huang Xu didn't dare to think about it.
"Strong, General Bao!" Seeing Bao Ping Leave safely, Zhao Xiaofeng, who was next to Huang Xu, couldn't help but praise.
Zhao Xiaofeng is also a smart person. He also probably guessed the mind of keeping peace. I can't help but sigh.
Huang Xu nodded, looked at the direction of Bao Ping'an's departure, and was speechless for a long time.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zhao Xiaofeng knew that it was time to make a decision.
"Master Pony, it's time for us to break through." He whispered in Huang Xu's ear.
"Well, this time, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of it all." Huang Xu sighed, his words full of helplessness.
In the face of absolute strength, it is useless to say anything. For example, Huang Xu's martial arts are the best in the world, but when compared with foreign guns and cannons, it is not very useful, no matter how high his martial arts are, he can't stop the guns.
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although we retreat this time, but my subordinates believe that we will definitely be able to make a comeback, and when the time comes, the position between us and the foreigners will have to be reversed." Zhao Xiaofeng's eyes flashed, and the confidence in his words was self-evident.
The reason why Zhao Xiaofeng was able to say this was entirely because of Huang Xu, he believed in Huang Xu, and believed that he would definitely be able to bring everyone back to kill again, and he would be ashamed of today.
"Strategist, that's right, although we have no choice but to retreat today, we will come back, and we will definitely come back." Huang Xu said loudly.
Huang Xu suddenly felt that his confidence was bursting.
"Do you want to convene the generals to discuss a strategy for breaking out?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked.
"No, sir, you just go and order a breakout." HUANG Xudao.
"The master has made a plan to break through?" Zhao Xiaofeng suddenly realized.
"Yes, this time. I'll just make a decision. Wait a minute, as long as I give the order, the firearms battalion will take the lead in attacking, attract the attention of the foreigners, attract the firepower of the foreigners, and then send out light cavalry to attack the enemy's two flanks, heavy cavalry to protect the infantry and other arms to break through from the center, and the special operations detachment will bring enough thunder to find an opportunity to blow up the enemy's heavy equipment and behead the enemy's commanders. That's the general arrangement, sir do you have anything to add." Huang Xu talked about his deployment in detail.
"Well, Master Horse, my subordinates will look at it." Zhao Xiaofeng thought about it and thought that there was nothing wrong with Huang Xuzhi's arrangement.
"Alright, you give the order down and get the army ready." HUANG Xudao.
"Yes, Master Pony." After Zhao Xiaofeng finished answering, he immediately went to give the order.
Huang Xu turned his head and looked in the direction of the foreigners' array, and the battle intent rose in his heart.
Foreign devil, don't you want to fight, the master will blow you up and let you know how powerful the master is, Huang Xu thought. (To be continued.) If you like this work.
