However, Fang Xiaoyu was not affected in the slightest and walked side by side with the First Emperor, watching the herald leave, Fang Xiaoyu looked to the east from afar, and chuckled: "At this time, it can be determined that the coalition army has a total of 30,000 elite military horses, although the number is not as estimated as 50,000 before, but these coalition troops are the elite of various countries, but they should not be underestimated." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The First Emperor sneered: "It's just a group of rabble, if these 30,000 elites are a whole, then the men and horses gathered in my hurry may not be able to resist, but this is just a coalition army composed of eight countries, although it is a coalition army, but it is the same intrigue inside, each has its own calculations, and ten percent of the strength can play six or seven achievements are good." ”

Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the First Emperor and chuckled: "Unless it is Your Majesty, you will fight for losses and use the Immortal Terracotta Army, otherwise, just with Your Majesty's current team, which is not even equipped with more than half of the muskets, it is really against the all-firearms army of the great powers, and there is a chance that it is not an opponent." ”

When Fang Xiaoyu mentioned this, the First Emperor couldn't help but change his expression, and he could only say that what the Qing court left to the First Emperor was a mess, and he wanted nothing.

An army is not even fully equipped with firearms, and having seen the power of firearms, the first emperor understands better than anyone else that the mainstream of war in the future is firearms, and cold weapons will gradually withdraw from the war.

Looking at the army behind him, among the 50,000 elite troops, less than 20,000 people really have firearms in hand, 40,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry.

Mu Feng is the cavalry general under the First Emperor, this person was discovered by the First Emperor from the army, and in a few years, he became the confidant of the First Emperor, and was appointed as the commander of the cavalry, which can be said to be a powerful figure among the many generals under the First Emperor.

Looking back at the cavalry brigade behind him, Mu Feng was full of spirit, and he made up his mind that this battle would show his prestige no matter what, so as to establish meritorious service in front of the first emperor.

In addition, many generals who had left their reputations in the history of the late Qing Dynasty also went on the expedition.

For example, Liu Mingchuan, Feng Zicai, Song Qing, Nie Shicheng and others, some of whom are only in their twenties, have already made a name for themselves in the army.

It is gold that will shine no matter where it is, especially the first emperor's strict military law, clear rewards and punishments, it is easier for these people to get ahead, so many famous generals of the Qing court have emerged one by one into the sight of the first emperor.

The speed of the army was not too fast, and according to Fang Xiaoyu's estimate, it was very likely that the army and the Eight-Nation Alliance would clash dozens of miles away from Beijing.

Obviously, the First Emperor was also aware of this, so under the order of the First Emperor, Mu Feng was leading the cavalry brigade to run at great speed at this time, rushing to an important place dozens of miles away, and building a position with the help of terrain advantages.

At this time, the team of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army also rushed to the Beijing Division, with the help of the artillery carried on the ship, easily blasted through the defense of Tianjin Wei, and the Eight-Nation Alliance Army successfully landed, but the Great Qin generals who guarded Tianjin Wei did not retreat, even if the last person did not escape or surrender, which left a deep impression on the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Marquis Donald, as the commander of the coalition forces, was busy reconciling the relationship between the eight countries at this time, just as the first emperor said, the eight countries had eight minds, and everyone had different minds, and it was difficult to work together, and some people even began to quarrel over how to distribute the benefits after the war.

Tian Yi Nashin was a Japanese general, leading 8,000 Japanese troops to fight with him, and at this time he was arguing with a Spanish general, and Harris, as a Spanish colonel, only led his 300 soldiers to join the coalition army and become a part of the coalition army.

At this time, Tian Yi Zhongxin and Harris were arguing there, and being able to let them argue like this was naturally for the sake of how much benefit they would share after breaking through the Jingshi.

Donald saw that if it continued like this, it was very likely that the two sides would stage a full martial arts and couldn't help but scold: "Two, we haven't broken through the capital yet, and you are arguing here, isn't it a little ridiculous." ”

The Russian general laughed and said, "Just let them fight, everyone is idle and bored, just to relieve our boredom, isn't it." ”

Generals like France and the United States couldn't help but laugh when they heard the words of the Russian generals, and their words were full of contempt for Tian Yi, Zhongxin and the caliph.

Although they are all members of the coalition army, they are also divided into levels in the coalition army, and the strongest is naturally the empire on which the sun never sets, followed by France, Russia, and the United States, as for Portugal, Spain, and Japan, these countries are clearly speculators who see the opportunity and want to share the benefits from Daqin.

Seeing that Tian Yi Zhongxin and the caliph stopped, the Russian general Gudrev said to Donald: "Marquis Donald, we are less than a hundred miles away from arriving in Beijing City, do you want me to lead the cavalry team to take the first step, maybe I can catch them off guard and take Beijing City directly." ”

Donald frowned, looked at Gudeev and said, "General Goodreev, at this time, Daqin must be on guard, we don't have too many people, if we divide our troops, it is very likely that we will scatter our forces......"

Goodrev waved his hand and said: "It's just a decadent dynasty, if it weren't for the Siberian block, my Great Russian Empire would have been peaceful in the Qing Dynasty long ago." ”

Gudreev, who was extremely arrogant, said: "Marquis Donald, it's decided, my commander will take the first step, and you will wait for the good news that I will break through the city of Beijing." ”

With that, Gudeev jumped out of the wide carriage, jumped on his horse, and headed straight for one of the cavalry ranks.

This is a Kazakh cavalry of 3,000 people, but the elite cavalry of Russia, these cavalry are not badly equipped, sabers, short guns, it can be said that they are armed to the teeth, and in the entire Far East, I am afraid that there will be no second such team.

The reason why Gudelev dared to say such a thing was because of this elite and strong team.

If he had been able to lead an army to break through the city of Beijing, Goodreev knew that he would definitely make a name for himself throughout Europe, and that His Majesty the Tsar would definitely reward him and transfer him out of this backward and ignorant country.

With a whistle, Gudeev stood in front of the three thousand Kazakh cavalry, waved his big hand, and said in high spirits: "Soldiers, follow my troops to Beijing City, and let these wastes see the power of our Great Russian soldiers." ”

"Ula, Ula"

The three thousand cavalrymen drew their sharp sabers, stabbed the sky obliquely, and then struck the sitted horses, which immediately galloped forward and followed Gudeev.

On the wide carriage, through the window, several generals watched the arrogant departure of the handsome army of Goodreev, and the French general Wales said elegantly: "A group of barbarians, since he wants to be the pioneer of the way, let him go, anyway, we are also lacking someone to explore the way, let these polar bears without heads test the reaction of the Great Qin Empire." ”

Donald and the others had a smile on their faces, obviously the previous actions were deliberately shown to Goodreev, but Goodreev was really stimulated to go to Beijing City first, what he didn't expect was that Donald and the others wanted him to go to the thunder

If there is really any danger, then the first to be unlucky at that time must be Donald and the 3,000 Kazakh cavalry under his command.

The 3,000 Kazakh cavalry was actually dispensable for their coalition army, except for the 8,000 Japanese soldiers and horses who were not equipped with sufficient firearms, the rest of the infantry, mainly the Empire, France, and the United States, were all equipped with firearms, and there were almost hundreds of artillery pieces alone.

With such a strong strength, Donald and they really didn't care much about Goodreev's cavalry team, even if it was the only mobile force in their coalition army, which could save their lives at a critical moment.

It's just that Donald and the others have never thought about relying on cavalry to save their lives, in their opinion, this time they are the main attacker, and it would be good if the Great Qin side could hold Beijing City, as for the threat to their safety under the counterattack, it is simply a fantasy.

In this case, why do you need cavalry, it is better to let Gudelev test Daqin's reaction, this is the greatest value of Gudelev's cavalry.

That is, Gudeev doesn't know this, otherwise he will definitely be angry, of course, with Gudeev's pride, even if he really knows the calculations of Donald and others, Gudeev will only scoff at it.

At this moment, Guderev was galloping on horseback, and the three thousand Kazakh cavalry behind him were also shouting and shouting, and the army rushed forward, bringing up smoke and dust in the sky.

At the same time, Mu Feng, who was ordered by the First Emperor, also commanded the army to run wildly, and the two sides were only a few miles apart.

The sentinels on both sides spotted each other as soon as possible, and then staggered past, and several sentinels fell to their deaths in the first wave of confrontation.

However, the two sides staggered past each other again, and each of them slapped their horses and galloped wildly, and there was no intention of fighting again.

The cavalry marched, the sky was full of smoke and dust, as long as there was a certain amount of preparation, it could be detected in advance, and at this time, Mu Feng was a long howl to stop the group of soldiers and horses behind him.

It can be seen that this is an elite cavalry, which has completely reached the level of prohibition by order.

Frowning and looking at the smoke and dust in front of him, judging from Mu Feng's marching experience, there is definitely a cavalry in front, as for the scale, if you look at the smoke and dust, it should be around five thousand, but I don't know where this cavalry team comes from.

Just when Mu Feng was puzzled, the sentry in front of him came over.

The sentry turned over and jumped off his horse, panting and said to Mu Feng: "General...... General, the big thing is not good, the enemy army is found in the front. ”

Hearing this, a gleam flashed in Mu Feng's eyes, and he stared at the sentry in front of him and said, "Tell me quickly, who are the soldiers and horses in front of the cavalry, and how many are they?" ”

[2 more sent, continue the third more, ask for support. (To be continued.) )
