Chapter 944: Start and Stay
When a French second lieutenant officer who walked to the front was put down by the warehouse manager with a shot.
The rest of the coalition members, especially some of the officers and veterans who had participated in the battle of Bali Bridge that day, immediately heard that the gunfire was very different.
It should be the Xuange Battalion that they feared the most, behind the five-shot advanced rifle used.
Suddenly, in the first second, these Yin Law Alliance troops were still trotting forward with expectations and fantasies about the treasures in the Old Summer Palace.
The next second later, everyone fell to the ground in unison under the officer's terrible orders; Holding the rifle in his hand, he pointed to the position ahead and began to be on alert.
There is nothing wrong with their reaction, and when they think about it seriously.
After all, in the battle of Bali Bridge that day, the Xuange battalion had a total of three hand-cranked Gatling heavy machine guns, and the crazy firepower of this epoch-making weapon left a deep impression on them.
Know your own personnel, if you are under the current dense formation.
Once strafed by this kind of frantic fire, the casualty figure will be extremely terrifying.
It's just that they don't know that it is precisely because of such a reaction that all the possibilities of being able to storm the Old Summer Palace tonight have been completely ruined......
'Not good~' When such a gunshot rang out in his ears, Hu Biao, who was carrying a bronze square tripod and was moving to a palace, immediately felt a big spirit all over his body.
Naturally, he could hear the sound of gunfire just now, which was the characteristic crisp sound of the Hanyang-made rifle firing.
The direction from which the gunshots came was still from the direction of the main gate of the Old Summer Palace.
Based on all of the above, I immediately knew that if it wasn't for a very emergency, the team would be hiding here in order not to be exposed.
The two of them would rather use cold weapons such as bows and arrows than shoot rashly.
Therefore, there is only one possibility for such a gunshot, and the number of people who come is too large for the two of them to stop; So he used the sound of gunfire to warn them.
After realizing such a point, Hu Biao immediately put down the bronze square tripod with a history of two or three thousand years.
He took off the rifle he was carrying behind him and held it in his hand, and walked towards the direction of the main entrance.
You must know that at the main gate, now only Lao Hei and Cangguan are defending; As long as there are more opponents, how long can they withstand no matter how accurate their marksmanship is?
On the way over, Hu Biao could see one team member after another, also running wildly.
After hearing the gunshots, they spontaneously went to the main gate to support, showing that everyone has a good fighting quality and subjective initiative.
It's just that after seeing this scene, Hu Biao sighed leisurely like a home-raised chicken and duck, and suddenly suffered from a large farmer after the plague.
Why? Mainly in the position of a little ahead, his sister-in-law God of Wealth was carrying a rifle and running wildly all the way.
Running wild、Naturally, there is no problem。
The key is that the God of Wealth, who thought that the Yin and Law Coalition would not come, changed the camouflage uniform he was wearing to a cheongsam after nightfall, or a cheongsam modified by himself.
Even under his feet, he is wearing a pair of high heels, and the thin heels are 10 centimeters tall.
So at present, Hu Biao can see that in the position in front of him, the graceful sister-in-law is running; The slender waist pole and that thing twisted to fly.
Because the slit of the cheongsam is too big, so that the whole slender long legs that are straight in black socks are exposed to everyone's eyes from time to time.
Special! For a while, there was a strong sense of déjà vu in the battle scenes in gunplay games such as "Crossfire" or "Nikki Goddess of Victory".
It's good-looking, of course.
Because Hu Biao could hear the old SPs of the team in his ears, the sound of swallowing saliva came faintly, which is quite a powerful proof.
But Hu Biao, under an inadvertent coincidence, glanced at the God of Wealth a few times, and suddenly a realization rose in his heart:
After the last incident, the girl of the God of Wealth seems to be developing and moving closer to the concubine.
And then in the recent period, I often wander around and show off in front of myself, and my motivation is a little not pure, is this using myself as a whetstone?
Realizing this, Hu Biao had only one thought in his heart: to create evil......
Not to mention the God of Wealth girl, a huge change in personal style.
Quite fortunately, when their group hurried to the front gate of the Old Summer Palace, after some firepower points prepared early, they found that they came quite in time.
The attacking Yin Law Alliance Army was a small team of more than 100 Yin troops, under the cover of thousands of people behind; And scattered the long distance, the cat bent over and slowly touched the door.
So, what are you waiting for?
Without thinking much about it, Hu Biao beckoned out with a single shot, and directly put down a target; The sound of this shot was also a signal that the battle had begun to start in full force.
Although the members of the heavy machine gun team such as Shi Poyu and the team were waiting, the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun they were carrying was too heavy and had not yet had time to arrive.
And even if you arrive, it will take a little time to set it up.
Even in a short period of time, there is no way to join the battle with this kind of ferocious firepower.
But it doesn't matter, when more than a dozen Hanyang-made rifles were fired by everyone, they immediately put down the Yin army and rushed to the front of the one or two rows.
Let the Yin army behind them, who was about to touch, immediately lie on the ground again in a panic.
It's just that Hu Biao opened fire, and the muzzle fire also exposed their existence in the night; A group of Yin Law Coalition troops who were hiding in the rear immediately opened fire on their positions.
Not to mention, among the firearms currently used by the Yin Law Alliance.
Although whether it is the Enfield 1853 front-loading rifled rifle of the Yin Army or the Minégé rifle of the French Army, these rifles are still old goods that carry one round and shoot one shot.
It's something that fires three times in a minute.
But this old-fashioned rifled rifle is actually quite good in terms of range and accuracy.
After the coalition side started firing at the moment, there are now more than a thousand rifles firing, and the firepower is actually quite fierce.
For a while, the dense bullets that were 'swishing' and flying around their heads actually hit Hu Biao and others who were hiding behind some bunkers, and they had no way to raise their heads, let alone fire back.
Seeing this, and more importantly, until now, that terrifying heavy machine gun roar has not yet sounded.
Those Yin soldiers who were about to touch them immediately lifted their spirits; After getting up from the ground, they immediately loaded their rifles with a 'click' of bayonets, and rushed over with their bright bayonets.
And then, it doesn't seem like there's much to say.
Because when they approached all the way with fanatical expressions on their faces, they finally rushed to a distance of almost fifty meters from the gate.
Suddenly, seven or eight smoking wooden-handled grenades arced through the air and loomed over their heads.
Instinctively, they just want to lie down again.
Unfortunately, this time it was too late, and before they could lie down, these wooden-handled grenades exploded one after another at a height of about one to three meters, forming a small air explosion.
Especially among them, the God of Wealth will also
The violent shock wave generated by the air explosion, as well as the dense fragments, instantly knocked them to the ground.
It means that in a short period of time, the more than 100 Yin soldiers who were originally planned to touch are only about 20 people still standing.
The rest are either dead or lying on the ground wailing.
What's even worse is that at this time, Shi Poyu and the team were waiting for others, and when their breathing was a little heavy, they finally set up the heavy machine gun.
After shaking the handle, the dense fire snake began to strafe out.
It was only a matter of seconds, and all the remaining twenty or so Yin soldiers with bayonets were put to the ground.
Then this kind of ferocious firepower did not stop at all, and it quickly whipped at the large force of the Yin-French alliance army hundreds of meters away.
After that kind of fire snake was drawn, a cloud of blood mist burst up.
Immediately, the Yin Law Coalition recalled the nightmare memories of the battle at Bali Bridge that day.
Instinctively, many of them retreated backwards, not trying to escape, but simply trying to escape from the range of the fierce fire.
When there are a few more people who retreat, the scene changes its flavor.
retreated, retreated, and saw that everyone around him was retreating wildly, and some big cleverness turned around and ran wildly towards the rear; After running like this, it finally led to a huge rout.
Everyone ran desperately, trying to get farther and farther away from this damn place.
In such a process, Gong Xiaogong, a traitor, originally wanted to shout out loudly after thinking of something that should be able to change the situation of the battle.
However, when a sergeant of the Yin Army next to him was hit by a 14.7 mm bullet in the skull, it exploded with a 'pop~'.
The slimy red and white thing splashed on the side of his face on the spot.
Gong Xiaogong is ruthless and vicious, and he doesn't care about the life and death of other people and his compatriots, but he is quite life-saving, where has he ever encountered this situation.
After being confused, the skull instantly became blank, where do you remember what to say.
He also ran wildly with the rout, and even after his bladder was loosened, his crotch became hot......
Just glanced at the Yin Law Alliance, the scene where he wished that he had lost a pair of legs and fled frantically; Hu Biao can be sure of one thing in his heart:
Unless they have more troops and enough artillery next time, these guys won't have the courage to come again.
It's just that even so, Hu Biao didn't have a trace of joy in his heart.
Because he knew that such a waiting time would not be too long, and at noon tomorrow at the earliest, and tomorrow afternoon at the latest, the large army of the Yin Law Alliance with cannons would arrive.
At that time, they will have to face the opponent's artillery and bomb it wildly.
Although they have already made relevant arrangements for such a situation, it is still a headache to deal with.
But even if he had a headache, it didn't affect Hu Biao at all After he picked up the rifle, he couldn't see the slightest panic on his face, and a very orderly series of orders in his mouth were issued out by him unusually smoothly:
"Old Hei, you follow all the way to see.
Did the grandchildren just retreat to the Bali Bridge, or did they camp on the spot a few miles away? If you camp on the spot, come back and tell us that there will be a sneak attack before dawn to completely destroy them.
However, the possibility of them camping on the spot should not be too great.
Warehouse manager, take your dog to keep on guard, just in case.
The rest of the people went to gather all the fathers-in-law and palace maids who were helping; Our Xuange camp is a man of his word, and he said that he let them go before the war, so let them go tonight.
But I thought about the time, they still had enough time to evacuate.
Isn't the garden for Emperor Xianfeng, and there are still a lot of rare beasts? Find something that looks delicious and kill it, and everyone eats meat and drinks a little wine together, and it is not in vain for everyone to get together, which can be regarded as seeing them off. ”
In the face of Hu Biao's statement, thinking of these palace maids and fathers-in-law over the years, with their dedication over the years, they have indeed helped them a lot, and everyone in the team nodded one after another.
*******
Before coming over this time, Hu Biao also loaded five tons of industrial silver bricks in the space ring, all of which were the standard of one kilogram.
After coming over this time, I used a little bit to buy food, and I didn't even use up two pieces.
So after the vast majority of it has been distributed in this place; Including Ren Liang, a total of 538 fathers-in-law and eunuchs were evenly distributed.
Everyone got as much as 230 taels.
And Hu Biao and them, there are still four or five thousand taels of silver left; It's just that everyone in the clan, after such a large sum of silver is given away, no one will have any reluctant thoughts.
They are all hard-working people, and all they can do is give a little more silver.
First take a detour to Jinmen, and then take a boat to Nanyang, which can always avoid the autumn reckoning of the Daqing court.
In this way, 230 taels of silver, if they save a little, will be enough for them to live for many years, and even start a small business to earn a living.
After the silver was distributed, the wine and meat were soon ready under the busyness of everyone.
Directly in the 'Zhengda Guangming Palace', the key place of this Daqing, a big banquet was placed.
Such treatment, I am afraid that these fathers-in-law and eunuchs were something that they never dreamed of before.
Naturally, the wine in the Old Summer Palace was the best imperial wine prepared for Emperor Xianfeng and his daughter-in-law, relatives and ministers.
The meat is the peacocks, parrots, red-crowned cranes, herons, chickens, pigs, ducks, geese, cows, etc., which are raised by special people for Emperor Xianfeng to watch, which looks good and tastes good.
After being slaughtered, it is either boiled in a pot or grilled.
It's impossible to say that it was pouted by everyone, because after the Yin Law Alliance Army came in, it was better to let them enjoy it than to cheapen these foreign devils.
Before the official start, Hu Biao picked up a glass of 'chrysanthemum white' wine.
He said loudly: "You have worked hard these days, don't look at you just doing some physical work, but it is quite meaningful."
Because it was with the help of the planters that many treasures of the flower planter escaped a catastrophe.
Just this matter, even if it is talked about by descendants thousands of years later, it will still be better than saying 'good' on the thumb.
It's just that there is a feast in the world, before parting, please Rong Hu on behalf of the Xuange camp, as well as the people of the future generations of the flower family, I would like to give you a cup. ”
After saying that, Hu Biao drank all the wine in the cup.
Everyone in the team behind him, except for Lao Hei, who has not returned at present, and the warehouse manager who is on guard, the others also drank the wine in their glasses.
After lighting up the bottom of the dried-up cup, Hu Biao added another sentence in his mouth:
"Even if you leave after dawn, it's completely too late in time, so eat and drink well~"
The problem is that in the face of the good wine and good meat that are rarely seen in ordinary times, the palace maids and eunuchs don't know what they are thinking after drinking a toast, but none of them move.
That solemn atmosphere made Hu Biao and the others a little uncomfortable, and they didn't know what to say.
Such a situation until a few minutes later.
Ren Liang, the father-in-law of the leader of the eight grades, suddenly directly picked up a wine jug and poured a big sip of liquor into his mouth.
is to say: "Since it is the kindness of the good men of the Xuange camp, everyone should eat, and after eating, go their separate ways."
It's just that I, Ren Liang, don't plan to leave, since I entered the palace, I'm worried that I won't have the face to see my ancestors after I die.
Fortunately, in the past few days, he has also done some things that can make his ancestors grow faces; I think that even after I go down, I won't be so faceless to see them.
So just stay here and have a big battle with the Yin Law barbarians, so that the ancestors will have more face. ”
As he spoke, he threw a bag full of silver bricks behind him on the ground, and said another sentence in his mouth: "I'm afraid I won't need this silver, so let's divide it among the brothers and sisters who left." ”
Such a sound fell, and then a large number of 'jingle ~' sounds sounded.
It was a number of people who threw out the money they had allocated, representing their thoughts and determination to not leave; Among them, in addition to 191 fathers-in-law, there are even 72 palace maids.
Seeing this, Hu Biao and the others clasped their fists with both hands and saluted solemnly......
