In the temporary camp of the Boxers, the lights in the tent were not extinguished all night.

"It's not good!"

Tan Sitong's face was dark, his expression was extremely solemn, his eyes were full of worry, and he said depressedly: "The casualties are too great, and the brothers are about to be unable to withstand it!" ”

Lei Hu was silent, at this time, the scars on his naked upper body were everywhere, some had scabs, some of the flesh was rolled, and traces of blood were faintly oozing from the cotton cloth that wrapped the wound.

But for some reason, Thunder Tiger gave people the feeling that instead of being weak at all, on the contrary, it was quite strong, like a wounded tiger, more dangerous and ferocious than usual.

His own feeling was the same, his body was full of qi and blood, except for the newly appeared wound location that was not smooth, the rest of his body was not only not the slightest abnormal, but unprecedentedly healthy.

For some reason, Lei Hu's induction of his own muscles, bones, epithelium, and bone marrow is strengthened, and he can even temporarily control the flow of qi and blood, and at the same time, he can also concentrate the strength of his whole body at one point to completely explode.

The strength is actually stronger than at the beginning of the war.

Anyway, his current realm is far beyond the state of the early stage of transformation, as for the specific level he has reached, he has no heart to pay attention to it at the moment and has no reference target, he himself is not clear.

It's just that the killing efficiency is higher, the means can be both domineering and murderous, and the perception of danger is more sensitive, once the muzzle is pointed at the gun, there is an immediate response, and the body instinctively dodges in time, even if you can't dodge, you can instantly let go of the vital point.

The high-intensity combat environment has made his strength improve and improve by leaps and bounds in just two months.

This was a gratifying thing, but at the moment, the situation was tense and dangerous, and the nerves were highly tense, and he had to face the fierce artillery bombardment of the foreign army almost every day, and he really didn't bother to pay attention to the changes in his own strength.

That's right, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the remnants of his Boxers and Dong Fuxiang's remnants have joined forces, sniping layer by layer along the railway line, fighting and retreating for hundreds of miles in a row, and the casualties of his boxers are really heavy, and they can't hold on anymore.

On the one hand, relying on trench resistance, but in the face of the sharp artillery of the coalition forces, the Boxer Boxers, who had not undergone any formal militarization training, could not play the so-called trench warfare at all, and could only make trouble for the advance of the coalition forces, but could not stop the offensive of the coalition forces.

There was no barbed wire, no criss-crossing communication trenches, no machine guns capable of forming a network of fire, and even the number of rifles was seriously insufficient.

In more than a month, there were dozens of large and small battles, and the casualties of the Boxers exceeded 5,000, plus the previous offensive and defensive battles in Jinmen, as well as the damage from the offensive and defensive battles in the Zizhulin Concession, Lei Hu's 11,000 Boxers still have about 3,000 men left.

Moreover, all of them are tired and demoralized, and their will to fight has declined to a rather dangerous point.

Is it withdrawn? Or do you want to stick to it?

In front of Lei Hu, there are two ways to choose, but the capital has repeatedly asked them to stick to it, but Lei Hu only thinks they are farting, and he doesn't plan to pay attention to it at all.

Ya, after fighting for so long, none of the officials and troops in the capital took the initiative to support, if it weren't for the fact that the opponent was a coalition of powers, I was afraid that the Boxers under Lei Hu would have bombed the camp long ago.

It's just that he has held on for so long, and it is really uncomfortable for him and his subordinates to evacuate directly, so he has been hesitating and not knowing how to choose.

As for the Boxer elder brother, he let Lei Hu decide himself, and also revealed the intention of reinforcements, but Lei Hu politely refused.

Don't look at the current lively battle between them and the allied forces of the great powers in the field, and the battle that really determines the outcome is still on the side of the capital, Lei Hu doesn't want to weaken the power at hand of the Boxer Brother.

However, the situation is stronger than people, and Lei Hu's hesitation only lasted until the next morning, when he saw the Oriental army in the trenches, knowing that if he didn't evacuate, he probably wouldn't have a chance.

"Retreat, let's quickly retreat in the direction of the capital!"

Lei Hu personally led the warlord team out, fought in and out of the Oriental army for a few rounds, and finally repelled the fanatical Oriental army, looking at the core brothers whose faces were full of gunsmoke and basically all the colors on their bodies, they made a decision directly.

When the Oriental army arrived, it was obvious that the strength of the Eight-Nation Alliance had gone further, coupled with the strong firepower advantage, it was no longer possible for Lei Hu's men to intercept it with only about 3,000 boxers.

It's a pity that a bunch of wastes in the capital don't dare to send officers and troops to fight field battles with the coalition forces of the great powers, otherwise even if the firepower advantage of the coalition forces of the great powers is obvious, but with the help of trench fortifications and home advantage, the capital is not without a chance of victory, but it is a pity that the powerful people have lost their courage.

"If you want to evacuate safely, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?"

Dong Fuxiang has always been on the front line, although all the officers and troops under him have been consumed, he has not left, and still insists on the front line, which has attracted the favor of the core backbone of Lei Hu's subordinates.

"Dong Junmen, have you forgotten that we have done a lot of tricks on the railway before, and now that the situation is critical, it's time to use those secret hands!"

Lei Hu smiled lightly and was confident, it was time for these hidden hands that had been arranged in advance to work.

With a few loud explosions and retreating for more than ten miles, several troop-carrying trains in progress overturned on their sides, and the allied forces of the great powers lost a large number of soldiers and ammunition at once, and the railroad was blown up in several places, and the originally fierce offensive suddenly slowed down, and Lei Hu led his 3,000 remnants to retreat calmly.

Although I was heartbroken by the large number of casualties of my brothers, the coalition forces of the great powers definitely did not bargain, and the casualties caused by the bombing of the railroad for more than a month in the field and the casualties caused by the blowing up of the railroad added up to more than 4,000 to more than 3,000, which was definitely a big blow to the complex coalition army.

Britain and France lost more than half of the colonial troops participating in the war, Mao Xiong's troops also suffered a lot of losses, and the armies of the other great powers had certain losses, and the morale was also very low at the moment.

Even if Lei Hu knew, he was helpless, his men did not have enough men and horses to inflict heavy losses on the coalition forces of the great powers, so he had to honestly retreat to the capital area, and camped outside the city without entering the city.

"Let the capital give more muskets and ammunition, otherwise you will be threatened to withdraw from the capital, and you are not afraid that those powerful people will not agree at this critical juncture!"

Seeing the Boxer brothers who went out of the city to greet him, Lei Hu said unceremoniously......
