Huang Xu took the telegram sent by Luo Bingzhang and couldn't help but burst into tears.

His grief was so great at this time that he felt that he had nowhere to vent his breath, and if an elephant stood in front of him at this time, he would surely smash it with one punch.

Huang Xu really didn't want to lose a helper like Li Hongzhang.

As Luo Bingzhang thought, Huang Xu would rather lose the entire Invincible Armada than lose Li Hongzhang.

And Li Hongzhang is too important for both the Chinese Empire and Huang Xu, and it can even be said that his importance is far from comparable to that of a fleet.

No matter what you say, Li Hongzhang's martyrdom made it difficult for Huang Xu to accept.

However, it is difficult for people to come back from death, even if they are sad, they must accept this fact, after all, Li Hongzhang is no more.

What Huang Xu and others have to do is to turn their grief into strength and strive for a greater victory in the follow-up battle with the British, so as to comfort Li Hongzhang's spirit in the sky, which is what Huang Xu should do.

As for Luo Bingzhang's telegram asking for guilt, after Huang Xu read it, he felt that it was not necessary, Luo Bingzhang was not guilty of this matter, he had done his best, so Huang Xu called back and persuaded Luo Bingzhang not to take this matter to heart, if he really wanted to serve the empire and comfort the souls of his deceased friends, then he would lead the invincible armada to rest and wait for the opportunity to fight the enemy again.

And after doing this, Huang Xu is going to act, he will not let go of this opportunity that Li Hongzhang fought with his life, he has to kill someone.

Now, since the British reinforcements are gone, it is time to deal with the defenders of New Delhi, and only by completely taking the whole of India can it be enough to comfort Li Hongzhang, who is far away in heaven.

Therefore, Huang Xu ordered the whole army to launch a general offensive towards New Delhi, and it was necessary to take the last stronghold of the British and Indian troops.

And then. The last battle between the two sides in India began.

The offensive routine is the same.

First of all, the Taiping army still carried out artillery bombardment.

Although the city of New Delhi had been turned into a ruined city in the last attack of the Taiping army, this time, the Taiping army still used artillery bombardment for the first time, destroying those who could be destroyed first, and killing those who could be killed first.

Because. Huang Xu was furious, if he didn't do something about it, he would probably be burned to ashes by his anger, and the Anglo-Indian forces would have to bear the direct consequences of this anger, and they were directly responsible for causing the anger.

Before the Taiping artillery fire, William and his team were also closely watching the battle between the Taiping Armada and the British Navy, believing that the British Royal Navy would definitely be able to defeat the Armada, as long as the Royal Navy defeated the Armada. Then their reinforcements came, and as soon as the reinforcements came, they were saved.

What William and the others were looking forward to was this moment.

However, as soon as the Taiping guns rang out, William understood that reinforcements were no longer coming, and they would not believe that the British Royal Navy would be defeated at the hands of the Invincible Armada. It's incredible.

However, it is not without good news. Although reinforcements could not come, the British fleet was still there, and they also sent news to William that the British fleet would dock at the New Delhi dock for a while in order to pick up the defenders of New Delhi, and they asked William to be ready. Maybe this is the last ticket.

William knew the severity of the problem, and he knew better than anyone else that if there were no reinforcements, New Delhi would definitely not be able to hold it, and the only option was to evacuate New Delhi. Fortunately, the main fleet of the British Royal Navy was still there, and they would also be responsible for evacuating the defenders, which made William feel a little reassured, and after a little discussion with Montgomery and others, he immediately prepared to evacuate the British and Indian defenders.

And the artillery fire of the Taiping army is becoming more and more fierce, and William also knows in his heart that as long as the artillery fire stops, the Taiping army of the brigade will definitely enter the city, if it comes to that time, I am afraid that they will not be able to run away if they want to.

Therefore, they must withdraw from the city near the end of the Taiping artillery bombardment, which is the best time to retreat, and once the time passes, if they want to evacuate safely, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Therefore, William hurriedly worked out a specific retreat plan with Montgomery I and others, and in the end, they decided to leave a group of Indian troops behind, and then deploy other remnants of the army to evacuate.

However, as soon as the remnants of the army heard that they were going to retreat, it was like injecting them with stimulants, and they were ready in a short time, just waiting for the artillery fire of the Taiping army to slowly stop, this speed was so fast that William and others were impressed, and William and others were quite surprised by this situation, they didn't know whether they should be happy or worried, and finally they could only smile bitterly and shake their heads.

And as the shells slowly began to sparse out, the Taiping artillery bombardment had entered the end, and it must have stopped soon, and taking advantage of this opportunity, William and others acted immediately.

With the exception of one Indian army left to take charge of the break, the remnants of the army began to retreat one after another, and then swarmed towards the port of New Delhi, where their hopes were kept, and where the British fleet was waiting to pick them up.

Soon after William and his men withdrew from the city, the Taiping army entered the city.

After they entered the city, they advanced quickly, like autumn wind and falling leaves, wiped out the Indian army's broken army, and then, the Taiping army's light cavalry went out to pursue the British and Indian army led by William outside the city.

And after William led his troops out of New Delhi, they did not stop for a moment and ran towards the port, and they did not dare to relax their tense nerves for a moment, because the pursuers were already behind them.

After running desperately, they were not far from the port, and there were about seven or eight miles to reach the outside of the port, and the tense nerves of William and the others were also relaxed, as long as they could escape to the port smoothly, they would be basically safe, and they believed in the strength of the British navy.

And the thought of being able to escape safely, William and the others were very happy in their hearts, after all, life is still important, but as long as they thought of the loss of the Indian colony in this war, William and the others were sad in their hearts, because of the loss of the colony, their road behind them will be very difficult, even if the British king is gracious and does not punish them for their great crimes, but their future must be over.

All in all, William and the others were in mixed moods at this time.

However, in any case, it would be good to be able to escape first, and no matter what happens in the future, we should escape first.

At this time, seeing that it was not far from the port, William's heart was completely relaxed, and he began to play some innocuous jokes with Montgomery I to relieve the pressure of many days.

Just turn one more corner and they will reach the pier.

However, this junction is a bit dangerous, the road is very narrow, and the sides are very dangerous, and if someone guards it with an army, it is impossible for them to take a step beyond the thunder pool, let alone reach the port safely.

However, it was impossible for the Taiping army to ambush here, how could they have thought of such a place in advance, so William and the others were not worried.

However, just when they were relieved, an accident happened.

There really was an army in this place, and it happened to be in the middle of the road.

This army also happened to be under the banner of the Taiping Army.

Yes, it's the Taiping Army!

A flag on the left, on the book, the Taiping Army Special Operations Brigade, and on the right a flag on the book, in the east.

It turned out to be a special operations brigade led by Dongfang Bufu.

What a coincidence.

However, how could Dongfang Bufu and the Special Operations Brigade appear here?

It turned out that when the Invincible Armada was fighting with the British ships, Huang Xu and everyone knew that William and the others would escape, so Huang Xu ordered Dongfang Bufu to lead the special combat team to secretly lurk on the route where they might escape, preparing to take them by surprise.

After careful reconnaissance, Dongfang did not choose such a place to ambush and wait for the arrival of William and others.

Sure enough, William was taking this road, so that Dongfang Bufu and the others were waiting for a while.

William and the others saw that there were really people blocking the way here, their faces were ugly, you look at me, I look at you, and they are afraid.

However, the matter has come to this point, there is no way to hide, so you can only bite the bullet.

"Who are you, and why are you standing in the way here?" Montgomery I rode out and shouted in the direction of the special forces.

Here, in terms of the high level of swordsmanship, I am afraid that Montgomery I is the first to be recommended, and at this time, it is obviously the most appropriate for him to take the lead.

However, Montgomery I obviously asked the wrong person, and Dongfang Bufu and others were the ones who let him shout.

"Bastard, what does it have to do with you, just get off the horse and be bound." Dongfang Bufu took the first step forward and scolded.

What kind of thing, dare to be blind and majestic in front of his Dongfang Bufu, I'm afraid it's a little impatient.

To tell the truth, Dongfang Bufu didn't take these remnants of the defeated army in his eyes at all, although there were not many people in their special combat team, and the total number of people was not more than 1,000, but against these tens of thousands of remnants, Dongfang Bufu was still very sure.

What's more, shoot people first and shoot horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, what the special combat team is best at is to kill the head of the enemy's main characters, as long as the target is set on William and others, and these people are taken down, then this remnant army will be defeated without attacking.

The faith of the East is not confused, and it is very good.

"Hehe, if you want to block us, it's not that easy, if you don't want to die, you quickly retreat for me and give me the way, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind." Montgomery I was majestic.

In this moment of racing against time to escape, Montgomery didn't have that much patience to waste time here.

"Haha, I don't know if I'm dead or alive, I won't retreat, what do you want." Dongfang is not confused, looking at the sky with disdain.

He thinks that this Montgomery I is really a thing that doesn't know whether to live or die, and to go crazy in front of him is simply looking for death.

"Then I'll kill you." Montgomery I was enraged, and he was furious.

As soon as he had finished speaking, Montmagory I rushed forward with his sword.

This is also completely unreasonable. (To be continued......)
