Chapter 843: Reactions from all sides
After covering his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief, forty-year-old Charlie Yilu slowly walked on the battlefield.
This was due to the fact that in the previous time, the soldiers on the Yin side had only to be about 400 yards away from the fort.
A gunshot would ring out at the top of the mountain, and then it would be hit without any suspense, and the marksmanship would be terrifyingly accurate.
As a result, there is no way to clean up the corpses of most of the lobster soldiers on the main battlefield; Even some of the wounded are dying in wailing.
Their bodies were in eastern Guangdong, where they soon began to decompose gradually in the hot weather of May.
Finally, at this time, there was already a dense mass of big-headed flies on the battlefield, and a strong smell.
If it is because of such a contrived action, it is a big mistake to think that Yilu is a weak person.
When he looked at the battlefield, his eyes were as fierce as a falcon.
And next to him, an ensign with his wounded left arm hanging from his neck, was talking about the battle that had taken place hours earlier.
Because of the three infantry companies of the Great Yin Empire, plus an artillery company, in a situation of frontal combat, they were actually defeated by the same number of Daqing cavalry.
Even the Sifang Fort, such a key to attacking Yangcheng, was also recaptured by the Qingren.
During the whole process, the poor ensign was a little nervous, and he stammered a little bit.
No way! Sir Charlie Yilu is not only the deputy plenipotentiary representative representing the Great Yin in this Great Yin Expedition, but also the commercial director in China in the past few years.
The commander-in-chief and plenipotentiary of the expeditionary force, Rear Admiral George Ely, was his cousin.
The above two people, for an army lieutenant like him, who was born as a civilian, are definitely some big people who can't be provoked.
Besides, after he introduced the relevant situation, Sir Yilu was frowning all the time, and he looked very bad at first glance.
That's right, Richard Illustration was in a terrible mood.
Because of such a Great Yin Empire, the war against the ignorant and backward Daqing, it has been almost a year before and after.
The casualties of so many previous battles are not as many as this one.
This made him, who had always been praised at home for his brilliant results, extremely angry.
Even he could now imagine how the gentlemen would laugh at him when the news reached London.
As for whether the loss of this battle will lead to a chain of bad reactions, or whether it will cause him to have a sense of crisis, there is no such thing.
After staying in Daqing for ten years, he can be regarded as a Daqingtong, and he knows.
In this huge and decaying empire, there are some warriors, just like the 'Guan Tianpei' general who died in Humen.
But such warriors are only a few.
The vast majority of them ran away like rabbits after the cannon sounded.
As for these warriors on the mountain, they will not live long; Because as soon as the artillery position is completed, it will immediately open fire with all its might.
Then all the infantry will rush up from all four directions, drowning them like a tidal wave.
Even if a large amount of smoke rises above it at the moment, and it is not very clear to see, it is said that the melee ability is quite powerful, but it cannot change this fact.
Because according to that one, there are only thirty or forty cases at most on the top of the mountain.
Moreover, they all have not light injuries on their bodies, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly affected......
Just as Yoshilu was silently observing the battlefield, a captain trotted to his side, and reported respectfully:
"Your Excellency, the artillery position has been prepared, please issue a new order~"
"Fire immediately and get all the shells out." Without thinking, Yilu gave such a reply in his mouth.
Having heard such an order, the artillery captain was ready to turn around and start firing with all his might.
On the hill where the smoke rose at this moment, there was some new movement.
A white man in a gentleman's dress, holding his hands high, kept looking back at the position behind him, until he reached the halfway point of the mountain before stopping.
Then, with a cardboard horn in his hand, he shouted: "Gentlemen, don't shoot, don't do anything else, there are at least three sharpshooters behind me who are aiming at me."
My name is Henry Cavendish and I am a direct member of the Cavendish family.
Based on Europa's rules of engagement, please inform Commander-in-Chief George Illuminate that he can confirm my identity and help pay a ransom in line with my identity, and the Cavendish family will naturally express their gratitude in the future.
Until then, please be sure to stop any attack on the fort, for the sake of Brother Su. ”
By the end, the gentleman had barely burst into tears.
Then, even if there was a strong urge on his face to run, rush back to his own position.
But after thinking of the threat that the musketeers behind him would immediately blow his head if he had any abnormal behavior, he could only walk up the mountain with a sad face.
And after hearing the above statement, Yilu scolded on the spot with a sentence of 'shit~' in his mouth.
The main thing is that he knew that the planned attack had to be stopped immediately.
Because he is a nobleman of the Great Yin, he knows better than the people of the Xuange Battalion that the Cavendish family's influence in the Great Yin and Europa.
Like the House of Windsor and the House of Wallenberg, it is a family at the core of Freemasonry.
If you don't want to get yourself in trouble, this attack must stop; As for how to deal with it in the future, I'm afraid I have to discuss it with my cousin.
Thinking of this, he couldn't care about staying on this battlefield any longer.
However, before leaving, Yilu gave a string of explanations in his mouth:
"Surround this damned place for me, not even a bird can fly over; And I asked the local natives, and there was no water source on that hill.
Therefore, we can't let them secretly go down the mountain to fetch water, even if they can't be bombed to death, they must be thirsty to death. ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, but after taking a few steps, he pointed to the system war horse that was still next to the sharp corpse and refused to leave, and added a sentence in his mouth:
"Find a chance, grab that war horse for me, you must live~"
******
In this way, relying on the reputation of the 'Cavendish family', Hu Biao and they gained some buffer time.
The group did not dare to be careless, and worked until the sun set in the west, and only then did they barely finish the construction of all the fortifications.
Just in order to do this, everyone is tired enough, and their physical strength is almost exhausted, not to mention, the wounds that were originally treated and bandaged have begun to bleed again.
The point is that after sweating a lot during labor, everyone's throat is like a fire, and it is hot.
So I became more and more determined to go out and get some water tonight.
At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in Yangcheng, the Jing rebel general Aixin Jueluo Yishan, and the counselor ministers Yang Fang and Long Wen, the three highest-ranking officials in Yangcheng at present.
After closing the door, it was already an afternoon of discussion, and there was a result.
What exactly is the content of the discussion: of course, the Yin people and barbarians have already beaten outside the city.
Do you want to send troops to support the Sifang Fort in Yuexiu Mountain, facing these Yin people with sharp guns, what is the specific force and time of dispatch.
Hu Biao of the Green Camp in Hunan Province, such a general of the foreign committee of the nine products, actually killed the master-like Zhengbai Banner 'Baturu' Manlong, how to deal with this one thing, etc.?
In short, the three of them discussed for an afternoon.
After Aixin Jueluo Yishan got up, he shouted out his own decision: "This matter is a big matter, and let's see how the Yin people react next, and we will discuss it tomorrow." ”
After that, Shi Shiran left.
Soon after, the sky was completely dark, the lights of the city were lit up, and there were many shops in the bustling street market.
On the contrary, the tens of thousands of defenders guarding outside the city all withdrew or fled into the city, which became more and more lively.
For the people of the city had calmed down from the excitement of the cavalry charge in the afternoon; Whatever needs to be done next, it will be no different from usual.
They don't feel at all that such a war has anything to do with them.
If there must be a yes, it is that I heard that these yin people are very generous, so can you get some money from them.
After nearly two hundred years of barbaric rule in Daqing, it succeeded in grinding the last bloody nature of the Han people to the point where there was almost nothing left.
There is no longer a trace of the pride of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, those who opened their clothes and tied their waists with the heads of aliens tied to their waists, and strode to kill aliens.
Even Hu Biao and others on Panlonggang seem to be able to hear the faint silk and bamboo singing in their ears, as well as the laughter between the staggered ones.
Compared with the dead cripple Hu Biao, walking is also a laborious scene, which seems so ironic......
