Chapter 647: Qing Jun's Side (3)
"Cannon, what about General Ben's Armstrong cannon?"
Looking at the tide of Tatars, Wilson shouted at his men in horror.
"General, our cannons have been pulled into the city!"
Only then did Wilson think that when the Ming planes attacked before, the Sharmas who pulled the cannons were not affected, and faithfully fulfilled their mission and pulled all the cannons into the city.
Now it's clearly out of place to look for cannons.
"Shoot, immediately prepare to shoot, damn it, don't scatter, against the Tatars you have to shoot in a queue!"
Soon, Wilson discovered that his Indian soldiers were not scattered, but began to flee in disarray.
The little bit of morale they had before had been blown away by the Ming airstrikes.
These guys are like frightened pigeons, and there is no way to organize an effective counterattack.
The first group to be chosen, or forced to become a death squad, was the Eight Banners under the tent of Sotna.
Under duress from the Warlords, these daredevils, dressed in ashigaru armor and armed with shields and swords, braved the sparse bullets of the British army to charge to absorb the first round of fire.
It was easier to get close than expected, and the Eight Banners were overjoyed.
The leader, Toyozo Hijikata, took a knife and slashed down two high-ranking Indians wearing lobster uniforms.
He himself didn't believe that the seemingly invincible British army had been killed.
However, there are not many samurai who are as skilled as him in swordsmanship.
After the Ming and Mongols took turns to cleanse, the so-called samurai were already a rare species.
Most of the Japanese soldiers who went first were simply Japanese peasants who had been coerced, and fell in droves under the bullets and bayonets of the British troops.
There were only a few samurai, and they had just a few more opportunities to cut people than the peasant Ashigaru, and they soon felt powerless in the face of bayonets.
Today's battle is likely to be the last afterglow of the samurai.
After all, the 100,000 samurai of the Shimazu family on Kyushu Island are estimated to be so good that they will directly turn into the scum of the world.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry outflanked on both flanks arrived first, and cooperated with the main force of the Tang and Mongolian coalition forces to encircle the British army outside the city.
In a desperate situation, the experienced British officer corps, which was mainly in the homeland, calmed down and commanded the soldiers who were still sane to gather and form a hollow phalanx for the final defeat and death.
The so-called hollow phalanx is to form a hollow square queue with the muzzle facing outwards to maximize the advantage of firepower.
In Sanyuanli that year, heavy rain fell from the sky, muskets were abolished, and more than 10,000 people besieged the British company's 200-strong company, but they were forced back by the hollow phalanx with bayonets, killing only 6 people.
Ten years ago, in the Battle of Bali Bridge, the British also relied on the hollow phalanx to inflict heavy losses on the Mongol cavalry almost unscathed.
Against the Indian princely states, the Arab cavalry, the Afghan rebels, and the Zulus in Africa, the British used this trick to defeat the Asian and African colonies.
Wilson believes that this time he will still be able to rely on the hollow phalanx to save the day, as he has done every time in the past.
Even if it's a white-knuckle battle!
The group of small warriors had already been repulsed.
They only took advantage of the momentary panic on their side, and when they gained a foothold, their so-called swordsmanship, and their personal bravery, were of no use in the face of bullets and bayonets.
As for the cavalry......
Ten years ago, the First World War had proven that the cavalry was vulnerable in front of the hollow phalanx!
"Come, Tatar cavalry, face the wind!"
Wilson shouted hysterically, wanting to bring courage to the whole army.
However......
Sudden ......
Sudden ......
Miniature armored regiments of the Southern Don appeared.
3 Hanqi tanks, 15 modified agricultural dump trucks, and more than 200 three-jumpers!
An armored regiment of this size, placed on the European theater, is simply an insignificant small role.
But outside Beijing at this moment, it is a key force that affects the situation of the war!
"Oh my God! I'm going to face a gale, not a tropical storm! โ
At the last second before being run over by Li Hongzhang's mount, Wilson's last thought in his mind was, "May there be no wind in heaven!" โ
In this way, Lord Li Hongzhang, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and Thomas Woodrow Wilson, commander-in-chief of the British Empire's army group in China, ended the latter's not long life.
He never had a chance to prove that he would be an outstanding statesman with the ability to reform the Qing Dynasty.
The world will not know that this man who was born in Virginia to a family of pastors, and later fled to England and joined the army because he opposed the compromise of the Southern government to the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the yellow pagans, should have been the president who led the United States to victory in World War I and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1919.
But now, with Li Hongzhang accidentally touching the tank driver's arm because he was too tall, causing the tank to deviate from direction and crush his neck, Wilson's life is fixed on "a mediocre officer stationed in China".
ยท
The Manchu officials who fled in all directions didn't even have time to close the city gates, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates didn't even have a shadow.
Everyone is packing up and trying to get out of Beijing.
The Mongols were not good at siege, but they still had a lot of experience in besieging cities.
In fact, when it comes to cars alone, Suo Wangye's car is not less than Li Hongzhang, but its performance is insufficient and it is not suitable for military use.
Early in the morning, he sent a transport team from the Tongliao Zhangzidao Seafood Wholesale Co., Ltd., and asked a group of merchants selling abalone and crabs to surround the four gates of Beijing.
However, the masters of Beijing have not despaired.
Because they have already dug the tunnel.
Yi Yi pulled little Churchill and others, took a group of henchmen, and sat in the carriage with gold and silver, first wanting to escape from the West Gate.
After discovering that there were Salted Fish carts of King Suo everywhere, he hurriedly retreated to the Prime Minister's Yamen in Dongtangzi Hutong, Beijing, preparing to escape from Beijing through the tunnel.
Although abandoning the carriage would lead to huge property damage, it was already a helpless move at this time.
However, it was such a hesitation that Yi Yi lost his last chance of life.
At this moment, a standard of men and horses quickly arrived.
It was none other than the prince in front of the little Buddha.
"Lord Li, pouting your ass is devil six!"
The prince pointed to the hole and said to the man who was about to enter the hole.
"Take it all for me!"
Li Hongzhang was in high spirits, and with a wave of his hand, Liu Liumazi and others entered the flock like tigers and rushed into Yi Li's personal soldiers.
After entering the city, Li Hongzhang was preparing to torture hundreds of officials, even if he was helpless, he would all have to be dissolved and moved.
After that, the money will be divided into three or seven.
Three, of course, it is three percent of the Southern Tang Dynasty + Tongliao, and the remaining seventy percent is to be handed over to the Ming Dynasty to strengthen the prestige of the confrontation between the Ming and the Taixi powers.
However, before the old Li family's torture shop opened, a young man came to ask for assistance with a hand card of Daming Jinyi Wei Baihu.
Li Hongzhang attached great importance to it and personally led his own soldiers to come.
As a result, Li Hongzhang and his old boss many years ago met like this.
"All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence...... His Royal Highness Prince Gong, it has been nine years since Shanghai was farewell! โ
Li Hongzhang grabbed Yi Yi's money rat tail and dragged him out of the hole.
ยท
At the same time, a large force of the Tang-Mongolian coalition was taking over important strongholds in the city.
Their military discipline is not flattering, and there are already people in the capital.
At this time, the masters of Jingzhong had already regretted it.
If the Ming Dynasty enters Beijing and eats pot pulp by himself, Wang Shi will not be able to be tyrannical to this point!
They have heard that in addition to Wuchang, His Majesty Zhu Fugui is still very merciful.
The soldiers of the Eight Banners stationed in the northwest can become Chu or Ming as long as they burn their genealogy and change their surnames to break their rituals.
But now, it is Li Hongzhang, who is ruthless and has created countless bloody cases, and Sot, the foreign barbarian, who has entered Beijing, how good is that!
Some people suddenly woke up and scolded angrily: "Rich and noble, you are so poisonous!" โ
"You have done cruel things by the hand of the Mongols, but you have left a name of kindness!"
"You deceitful poisoner!"
Bang!
The Tongliao Khan, who had won two yuan in the World Cup, blew the smoke of the Ming flower in his hand, and spat on the corpse of the first-class scholar of the dynasty: "What are you, you dare to insult the saint emperor, you are really in a hurry to go on the road." Brethren, go to the next house! โ
In this city of Beijing, there is now a lot of noise.
Of course, there are also those who sit back and relax.
For example, Xingzhen hugged Xing Bao at this time, and fortunately she made the decision to respect her ancestors.
And Tongzhi is ......
Forbidden City, Jinluan Palace.
The court officials who were lucky enough to escape the military disaster were all concentrated here.
The prince of Sotna, dressed in armor, with a big waist and a round waist, and a white silk in his hand, approached the bean sprouts Tongzhi who was sitting on the dragon chair step by step.
The next hundred officials of the Qing Dynasty were silent, and no one dared to speak out.
They are all under the judgment of fate.
Tokugawa Keiki on the side said weakly: "Sosan, it doesn't seem that the procedure of Shangluo is like this......
Sotena put down the white silk, took out a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from the back of his buttocks, turned to the fourth "Abolished Han Emperor Chen Liujian's Position to Seek Dong Thief Meng De's Knife" and looked at it, frowned and said: "That's right! Is this the process of entering Luoyang? โ
With that, Sotna shouted, "Sonotna's help has come!" โ
Tongzhi had never seen this formation, and he was so frightened that he slipped from the dragon chair and fell to the ground, unable to speak.
On the contrary, Xing Bao in Xingzhen's arms is still innocently playing with boogers, without the slightest fear.
Sotna picked up "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again, flipped through it and looked at it, then looked at the child in Tongzhi and Xingzhen's arms, picked up Bai Aya again, and said to Daodaochuan with a smile: "Brother Qingxi, you see, there are many things in ancient and modern times?" This Luo, you have to enter like this! โ
Tokugawa Qingxi shook his head and said, "Ming Gong, didn't the last general say this...... Oh, you see......"
Tokugawa Keiki took out a bow from behind him, plucked the bowstring with his index finger, and made a sonorous sound, "Ming Gong, with the last general's foolish opinion, we have to use this, use this to be authentic!" โ
โฆโฆโฆโฆ
I wish you all a happy National Day, and there is a possibility tomorrow......
