Chapter 931: Tremendous Inertia
At the same time, that is, when Hu Biao and the others had a goal, they once again began to rush towards the Zunhua area overnight.
Location: In the camp of the Yin-French coalition forces at Bali Bridge.
In the middle of the night, the commander-in-chief of the French army, Montauban, and the commander-in-chief of the Yin army, Grant, were awakened, and the two walked out of the field hospital where more than 200 people were lying.
One counts one, and his face is ugly.
The reason for this is not only that the two of them didn't sleep well at all, and they had huge dark circles on their faces; The more critical reason is the huge number of casualties.
You must know that after a big battle, the number of wounded soldiers with the army reached 30,000, and the number of wounded soldiers was only 46.
Among them, the number of seriously injured did not exceed double digits.
Who would have thought that just after encountering the legendary 'Xuange Battalion' in the afternoon, the number of their dead in battle would exceed a hundredfold.
The number of injured people is also more than several times.
This made the two people who thought that because of the brilliant victory in the Battle of Baliqiao, they would receive a senior medal and even be promoted after they went back, and they were very disappointed.
But if you want to say what the two are most worried about, what will happen to their coalition army next?
Do they want to retreat at once and return to Dagu Pass to join the fleet; Or will the troops from Dalian and Yantai be mobilized and more troops will be mobilized to move again, etc.?
After discussing privately for a while, the two quickly reached a consensus:
Not to retreat for the time being, but not to attack either.
Strengthen the camp in situ, while waiting for the old Maozi to send more information, while waiting here for the Dagukou side, send a group of reinforcements to join, and wait until there are more troops before launching the operation.
After all, the strength of the coalition forces in this war was 15,000 in the Yin army and 7,000 in the French army; When the two sides were combined, the strength of the army exceeded 22,000 men.
The 8,000 people here in Baliqiao are definitely not all their strength.
And now, they've come to their senses.
Although the people in the Xuange camp are indeed powerful, they are not invincible; As long as you don't attack with their strange weapons, and use artillery bombardment to suppress and open the way, you can still tear through their defenses......

Still at the same time, in the heart cultivation hall of the glorious Zijin City of Daqing Jingshi, in the early hours of this morning, it was still brightly lit.
Emperor Xianfeng and some military ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, as well as some imperial relatives gathered here.
In the midst of everyone's extremely solemn faces, they were discussing a very critical matter: early tomorrow morning, whether Lord Xianfeng should take the queen and the concubine to Chengde Summer Resort for a hunt.
Of course, the above hunting statement is just a more euphemistic statement.
Actually? Originally, he coaxed and coaxed in his mouth to declare that he would definitely be able to defeat the barbarian monk Lingqin, but during the day, he suffered a big defeat.
The monk king, who was regarded as a pillar by the imperial court, was the first to run back with his horse team.
After the First World War, most of the Green Battalion and the Eight Banners under his command fled without a trace, and only some remnants of the soldiers are currently stationed in Deshengmen and Andingmen.
According to the report from the Admiral of Jiumen, after these soldiers and horses suffered a great defeat, they had long lost the spirit to continue fighting.
And the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the imperial court, after more than a hundred years of nourishment by hardcore crops, what kind of waste snacks are now, everyone present knows better than one another.
It is equivalent to a huge Beijing division, and now under the front of the Yin Law Alliance, there is no longer the slightest confidence to hold on.
The so-called sky can't be without a day, and the country can't be without a king for a day, so as not to let Emperor Xianfeng fall into the hands of those yin law barbarians.
There is such a Let Xianfeng Emperor, go to Chengde Summer Resort to hunt.
In fact, such a Beijing teacher and two million people were left behind, and the story of fleeing for their lives appeared.
All of the above was finalized hours ago in the original history; Then early the next morning, Emperor Xianfeng took the empress.
There is also Concubine Yi, that is, the one in the late Qing Dynasty who has to eat more than 100 dishes at a meal, and the famous old witch ran away.
This time the situation is a little different, all because when Jibha and the others fled back, the legendary 'Xuange Camp' reappeared.
And with the thunderous weapons in the sky, in the blink of an eye, he killed hundreds of people by the cavalry of the Yin Law Alliance.
Suddenly, such a news spread like a plague in a very short period of time, to the point that everyone in the capital knew about it.
So such an accident made the Daqing court have a little more illusion.
Thinking about whether they could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, they suddenly couldn't make up their minds about whether to leave or not.
This changed after ten minutes or so; When the people in the Heart Cultivation Hall quarreled badly because of different opinions.
A royal guard in a yellow vest hurriedly ran in and knelt down, with a slight expression of wanting to say goodbye.
Seeing this, Emperor Xianfeng, who had just drunk a bowl of deer blood sent by Concubine Yi and was in better spirits, said simply:
"The people present are all Daqing and my confidants, and you can say anything."
Under such an statement, the imperial guard immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the brothers who just went out of the city to inquire about the news have returned.
They said that around the ugly hour of tonight, the rebellions of the Xuange camp suddenly broke through on fast horses.
It was easy to break out of the encirclement of the Yin Law Barbarians, and then the cavalry that caught up was defeated, and it is now nowhere to be found. ”
After hearing such a statement, everyone present suddenly had a decadent look on their faces.
Knowing that after sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight in their hearts, hoping that the two sides would fight and suffer heavy losses, their idea of taking advantage of it was completely shattered, and it seemed that Emperor Xianfeng was really going to Chengde to hunt.
Only Wen Xiang, the military minister of the Manchurian Guerjia clan.
Originally, one of the participants and leaders of the Daqing 'Yangwu Movement' had some different ideas in his heart.
After taking a step forward, he arched his hand to Emperor Xianfeng and said, "Your Majesty, do you think the servants can order someone to contact the rebellion of these 'Xuange Battalions'.
If you can promise high-ranking officials, it is naturally best to let these rebels take refuge.
If you don't want to, whether you should put aside the grievances between the two sides first, and first work together to defeat these Yin Law barbarian coalition forces and solve the crisis of the Beijing Division. ”
Hearing this, Emperor Xianfeng immediately became furious.
opened his mouth and scolded: "Wenxiang, why are you so confused?
Yin Law and other barbarians, even after entering the Beijing Division, what can they do? It is nothing more than persecution to us, to promise them some conditions, to pay some money, to cede some land.
I am rich all over the world, and although some compensation is a bit much, it is not unaffordable.
But these rebellions of the 'Xuange Camp', but thinking about our flowers, are the real henchmen, how can the two be compared?
I don't want to talk about it again, I don't want to hear this nonsense again. ”
After saying that, facing the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man in front of him, Daqing is currently the Iron Hat King, Prince Gong, and the later famous devil Liu Yixin.
He said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to Chengde West Hunting according to the plan; Everything in the Jingshi will be left to you to deal with. ”
For such an explanation, although the devil six is unwilling in his heart.
But for the sake of his own life, he immediately respectfully agreed.
Then, under the astonishing inertia of history, although the sharpness of the Yin-Law Alliance was violently poked, the emperor of Daqing still ran away at such a critical moment.
Only ten minutes later, Yi Guifei, who was only 25 years old at the time, that is, the old witch, got the relevant news.
Thinking about it, he was about to leave the comfortable Zijin City and start an embarrassing escape.
Suddenly, this woman's eyes in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Hall were full of indescribable disdain.
Because she thinks that the group of people there is the most noble and powerful group of people in Daqing, but in terms of knowledge, even she is not as good as a woman.
If she can call the shots, she must cooperate with the 'Xuange Camp' first.
She doesn't know any science, but she thinks it's really simple to grasp and play with people's hearts, especially the hearts of young people.
As long as there is a chance to make contact, it is nothing more than fighting and pulling, which can always make the 'Xuange Battalion' not a threat.
It's a pity that she, as a woman, has no way to control all this......
