After a while, the team carrying grain and water came back in unison, and the North African Arab cavalry, led by them, proudly told Gro and Ergin that they had encountered a sneak attack on the Chinese peasants when they were fetching water, and the French army had taught them a hard lesson, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses and fleeing in disarray. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Well done! Mohammed! Gro was overjoyed, turned around and puffed up his chest to learn from his subordinates and said proudly to Ergin, "It seems that the Chinese have no tricks to do, as long as we are somewhat prepared, the Chinese are useless!" ”

Ergin nodded, silently rolled his eyes at Gro's pride in his heart, and didn't say anything, and ordered the soldiers who cooked the rice to start cooking, and after the military rations mixed with flour and paste were cooked (Gro, a self-proclaimed gourmet, frowned), Ergin drank and ordered everyone not to eat first, but pulled the interpreter and pointed to the flour paste in the pot, "You, give me a bite to try first!" ”

The interpreter stepped forward with a bitter face, took a spoon from the pot and ate it, there would be no change for a while, but Ergin was still not at ease, and asked the Indian soldiers to eat first, and the Indians started the tasting work as aggrieved as a little daughter-in-law, and everyone watched the Indians gobble up with their stomachs purring, and the herald couldn't stand it anymore, but he had been running around delivering the news, "Lord Earl, let's eat too!" ”

Erjin saw that there was no sign of poisoning in everyone, nodded, and ordered everyone to eat, and the herald poured a bowl of slow paste for Ergin, "My lord, please eat." ”

Ergin took a small bite, and it actually tasted good, but in fact, he was really hungry, so he ate it regardless of the image, and suddenly thought of something, "The horse's feed hasn't been fed yet?" Then hurry up and find someone to feed! Ergin commanded the herald, who looked aggrievedly at the few flour pastes in the pot, and could only succumb to the obscenity of Count Ergin, and went to arrange food and grass with his head in his hands.

After lunch, Ergin patted his stomach and ordered everyone to set off with satisfaction, and the British and French troops were full. The mental state was noticeably better, the musketeers stood in a vertical row, and the cavalry turned over and mounted their horses, ready to go. The Sikh cavalry led by him had just turned over and mounted his horse, and the horse under his crotch screamed, and his limp leg fell to the side, and the right leg of the Sikh cavalry rattled and was crushed under the horse's belly. It can be seen that the leg is broken, Ergin looked back, his crotch healthy horse also wailed, the horse's buttocks sprayed out a lot of dirty things, soft to the ground, fortunately Ergin is vigorous, both hands supported, jumped off the mount, although the landing is a little hasty, fortunately, the herald hurriedly held on. Ergin stood on the ground and watched in a daze as the cavalry's mounts fell one after another, and many of the horses foamed at the same time, and the scene was so smelly that many people vomited all the lunch they had just eaten. The herald shuddered and said to Ergin, "Lord Earl, it may be that the forage sent by Chinese is poisonous..... Fortunately, not all of the horses ate the poisonous forage, and some of the feeding materials were brought by us. ”

"What the hell didn't you check the forage?" Ergin calmly asked the herald, who always brought bad luck, but this time he didn't get angry.

"I checked, sir. But horses never eat poisonous things, and I fed your mount a handful, and when I saw how happy it was, I thought it wasn't poisonous. ”

"Stupid stuff. You can't eat a laxative like croton," Ergin decided to give the herald a good look, "pull him down and shoot him on the spot!" The hapless herald wailed and was dragged down, "Musketeers, watch out for enemy raids!" Everyone has a day off. Wait until the horse is well before setting off! ”

Everyone stood in the makeshift camp full of excrement with a bitter face, and Ergin gritted his teeth. "These Chinese don't have good muskets and artillery, and even if our cavalry won't be useful for a while, they won't dare to face our muskets head-on! Chinese, don't give me the opportunity to fight head-on, when that time comes, I will definitely not let you go! ”

The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Xingzhen put down the report handed over by Prince Gong, nodded with satisfaction, and was very happy, "Okay! The aggressor has fallen into the sea of people's war! Each of these folk villagers is a soldier of the Qing Dynasty and a scout of the Qing Dynasty! As long as it is so harassing, the rebel will naturally be upset and irritable, and there will be many loopholes, and a lot of loopholes can give us a great opportunity to divide and attack! Xingzhen said to a group of royal ministers on the ground, "In this way, we can defeat the rebels!" ”

"Please forgive Weichen for talking too much," Chen Fuen adjusted his mentality, not specifically picking thorns, but carefully looking at the loopholes in the plan, "Although these harassments can distract foreigners, they can't stop foreigners from attacking Beijing, after all, we don't have muskets!" "Chen Fuen is not blindly a wine bag and rice bag, Xingzhen nodded, "Lord Chen said that it doesn't matter, the discussion is to brainstorm, everyone is talking about it, in addition to buying us time, it is not without benefit that the army is disheartened, the palace is ready to ambush the soldiers, Li Hongzhang's Huaijun musket battalion is already in Tianjinwei!" ”

Everyone underground was shocked, except for Prince Gong, who had known for a long time, the others were shocked, and Chen Fuen was stunned: "But the previous will of King Qin?" ”

"Exactly, although Li Hongzhang didn't catch up with the battle of Tongzhou, after all, it was not a trip in vain, he had already sent someone to Tianjin to deliver the decree in the starry night, and when the foreigners were overwhelmed and unable to move an inch, he rushed to the aid of Beijing by taking a shortcut! Lord Chen," Chen Fuen bowed down and obeyed, "Quickly issue an order from the Ministry of War, and the government along the way will definitely ensure the speed of the Huai Army's march at any cost, and those who violate the order will be dismissed on the spot~!" Xingzhen said murderously, and Chen Fuen said yes.

"The Ministry of Officials," Xingzhen instructed the Ministry of Officials, "Quanqing, the reward for killing the enemy will be distributed quickly with the Ministry of Households, and with the sweetness, people will dare to follow you with their heads!" ”

"Master Zhao, the secretary of the criminal department, you go to keep an eye on the household department, the household department is not here, so I have to work for you, go and stare at someone who shirks and refuses to give supplies, immediately release the prison of the criminal department, and work with the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to be responsible for the security of the city, and strictly prevent small chaos!"

"The Ministry of Industry transported the barbed wire made a few days ago to the front line, and transported the silk vests made by the women of the six palaces and the women outside, and asked the craftsmen to continue to make gunpowder and wire, although the gunpowder is not as powerful as the foreigners, but the ants can bite the elephant to death, and one more gunpowder may kill one more foreigner."

"The national disaster is at hand, and it is necessary for all the monarchs to work together to resist the foreigners," Xingzhen sat on the emperor's daily pit, her eyes were blazing, and her expression was Lingran, "Now that everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, just see if Wu Yundi and Li Hongzhang can meet as soon as possible!"
