Chapter 145: Kill the Invaders
Soon, as soon as the wind blew, the smoke did not go straight to the sky, but diffused, and the eagle army rushed into the smoke, and was so smoked that they coughed and their eyes were smoked to tears, and they only felt that the figures were full of people, and they could not distinguish whether they were friends or foes.
At this time, it was time for Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue to perform, put away their guns, hold a long knife in each hand, and kill in the smoke.
The enemy, who was rushing behind, heard the screams and frightened shouts coming from the smoke, understood that he had been tricked again, and hurried to extinguish the fire.
The two people in the slashing watched and listened in all directions, and when they saw that the enemy began to extinguish the fire, Li Shucheng said: "Collect guns and bullets and retreat." ”
The figure flashed one after another, quickly tightened the space for the gun and ammunition, and dodged away.
After the smoke cleared, the soldiers of the Eagle Weight Army behind looked at the Shura field in front of them and couldn't help but bend over and vomit.
Eagle Colonel Claire looked at the corpses everywhere and felt a twitch in his heart, he had made another mistake with arrogance!"But, didn't the two shellings just now kill a single Qing soldier? This is impossible!" Claire thought.
After a careful search, there was not a single corpse of the Qing army. "Maybe they took advantage of the chaos to take it away. Claire thought, "Even if you take the bullets, you will naturally take the corpses with you." "As for fighting for so long, not a single Qing soldier was killed, he never thought about it. In his opinion, it is not a question of whether or not to kill the Qing army, but how many people are killed.
Li Shucheng and the two retreated two or three miles, and they met the Qing army who rushed over.
"What's going on up ahead? It's gunfire and gunfire. The Qing army in front of them stopped the two and asked.
"What else could it be?" Li Shucheng said, "The armies of the Eagle Kingdom and the Heavy Kingdom have landed from there, hurry up and get ready, the enemy is coming soon." ”
When the leader Qian Zong heard this, he scolded: "Lao Tzu said that more troops should be sent here to defend it, but the people above just didn't listen, and they also transferred people from Lao Tzu's men to defend the Dagu Fort." Is the fuck a pig? Just stare at the Dagu Fort, won't you find an undefended place to go ashore?" Although he did not participate in the last battle of Dagu, he went to participate in the battle when the Eagle Weight Army attacked Tianjin, and he saw the strength of the Eagle Weight Army, but he was not frightened.
Li Shucheng said: "It's useless to say anything now, hurry up and find a suitable terrain to dig a position, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no more than a few people left in the fight of these 300 people." The enemy had guns and artillery, as well as a thousand and a half thousand troops. ”
"One thousand five or six?" When Mr. Qian heard this, he looked at his more than 300 subordinates and said, "How the hell is this battle fought? No matter how you fight, you will lose!"
Li Shucheng said: "As long as you don't charge head-on with the enemy, there is still hope." We fought and retreated, and there were other defenders behind us, and they would have rushed to reinforce when they heard the sound of gunfire. ”
The position could not be dug up, and these green battalions did not have the equipment to dig trenches, so they could only find suitable hills to ambush.
"How can you go to Dagu instead of Tianjin?" Mr. Qian took a few steps to react and asked.
"It seems that Tianjin is more dangerous than Dagu, but we must find out the enemy's mind. Li Shucheng said, "They have a total strength of about 17,000 troops, is it possible to send more than 1,000 people to attack Tianjin? If they want to attack Tianjin, they will definitely send more than that." They planned to surround Dagu in a roundabout way, and after defeating Dagu, the warships would be able to drive straight into the capital for a long time. ”
"Yes! With the lesson of the last time, Tianjin's troops have increased a lot, and their men may not be able to take Tianjin. Mr. Qian said.
"Also, I shipped a batch of guns and ammunition on the hill over there. Li Shucheng said, looked at the big knife and spear of the green camp, and shook his head, "Otherwise, with the big blade in your hand, you won't be able to kill foreign devils." ”
"Hmm, you still brought guns, and how many?" asked Mr. Chi excitedly.
"It's enough to equip your three hundred men. Li Shucheng said.
"Great!" Mr. Qian said flexibly, "Now we can have a good fight with the red-haired ghost! You kid is good, why don't you come to my green camp?"
"Being a soldier, how can you be at ease now? If I didn't want to see more people suffer, I wouldn't have come to help. Li Shucheng shook his head, looked at the soldiers nearby, and whispered, "In addition, even if the big knife is replaced with a gun, they haven't even touched the wall, so they can't hit it accurately." The idea of having a good fight with the red-haired ghost, at least this battle is impossible. ”
When I came to a small hill, there was a bunch of guns and bullets, and Mr. Qian asked his subordinates to divide the guns and bullets, and then learned to aim and shoot, change bullets, and quarreled for a while before resting and ambushing.
Li Shucheng shook his head when he saw it, this is why he and Jiang Mingyue beat the Eagle Wing Alliance very badly just now, and they didn't chase after them immediately, otherwise this rabble, I'm afraid that a few of them won't be able to run down when they charge.
After waiting for more than an hour, the Eagle Weight Coalition Army slowly drove away, and after the battle just now, they had already put away their arrogance, and arranged for spies to explore the way in front, and they were cautious all the way.
The next battle was difficult to fight, although there were two sharpshooters Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue to help, fighting and retreating along the way, and the Qing army also suffered two or three thousand casualties. However, reinforcements joined from time to time on the road, and although there were many casualties, the soldiers not only did not decrease, but increased and increased.
Although it did not block this group of enemies, it also caused them a lot of casualties, and the roundabout Eagle Weight army fought all the way to the vicinity of Dagu, but there were only seven or eight hundred people left, and the ammunition was also consumed a lot, and there was no more strength to attack.
However, the Eagle Weight Coalition sent not just one army to the north, but two. It's hard to deal with. The Eagle Weight coalition army coordinated a fierce attack by sea and land, and finally broke through the Dagu Fort after paying the price of more than 2,000 dead and wounded and five warships sunk.
As soon as the battery was lost, the warship was no longer a threat and could drive straight in. The coalition forces were gearing up and down, preparing to loot along the river.
"You say, can we get a few big rocks to block the river and make it impossible for their fleet to pass?" Li Shucheng said.
"This river is not deep, get more, of course you can block it. Jiang Mingyue said.
After the Yingli coalition captured Tianjin, the fleet continued to go deeper along the river, but it was blocked by huge boulders, and it was not a place, so it could only go ashore and advance towards the capital.
Monk Greenqin couldn't stop the Eagle Weight coalition and fled. The Eagle Weight Coalition Army burned and looted all the way, and Li Shucheng and Jiang Mingyue notified the people along the way to take refuge, and at the same time summoned the scattered Qing army to entangle with the Eagle Weight Coalition Army.
Along the way, it caused a lot of casualties to the Eagle Weight Coalition Army, but compared to the Eagle Weight Alliance Army of more than 10,000 people, this is just a disease of ringworm scabies. The Eagle Weight coalition continued to advance and captured Tongzhou, and Seng Lingqin was defeated and fled again.
Tongzhou fell, and the Eagle Weight coalition continued to advance westward. At Bali Bridge, the Qing army gathered 30,000 troops to garrison it.
"If there is a good fight here, the Eagle Weight Coalition may retreat. Knowing that there were 30,000 Qing troops at Bali Bridge, Jiang Mingyue said.
"The question is whether they dare to fight. Li Shucheng said, "Monk Greenqin has been defeated several times, and he may no longer have the courage to fight." ”
Monk Greenqin was really scared, and the fierce battle lasted for more than three hours, and Li Shucheng also led people to assist in the periphery, but as soon as the Eagle Army copied from the west, the Monk Greenqin stationed in the west quickly retreated.
Li Shucheng had an idea, began to gather the scattered soldiers, and then pounced on the Eagle Army.
To say that these low-level soldiers, although they are afraid and scared in their hearts, they are also used to blindly obeying. When they saw Li Shucheng in armor, they thought he was a big official, and when they saw that Li Shucheng dared to take the lead in the charge, they also charged. Those who are officials are not afraid of death, what are they afraid of if they have a rotten life?
When the crowd ran, Li Shucheng took the lead, shouting loudly, and his momentum rose! When the Eagle Army found this large group of charging Qing troops, they hurriedly turned around and shot, but they could not stop the pace of the charge, and watched as the Qing soldiers who were originally afraid of death and scattered were getting closer and closer.
Rushing into the ranks of the Eagle Army, Li Shucheng's big knife raised and slashed violently, instantly killing a gap, and the Qing army behind rushed in, following Li Shucheng and slashing indiscriminately.
The Qing army formed a torrent and rushed left and right behind Li Shucheng, completely disrupting the formation of the Eagle Army.
The horizontal ones are afraid of being stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of dying, and at this time, the Qing army is stunned. The Eagle soldiers were taken by surprise and began to flee, which then turned into a rout. Now it has fallen one by one, and it has become the Qing army chasing the Eagle Army.
However, the physical strength of the Qing army is really not good, and they can't run after chasing for four or five miles. Despite this, everyone cheered, this is a reversal of defeat into victory, and chasing the red-haired ghost to fight, it is too exciting!
After Li Shucheng's intervention, although the western front was stabilized, there were heavy casualties, and only half of the 10,000-strong army remained. Despite this, the monk who took over was very happy in his heart, no matter how he said it, it was much better than a direct retreat.
After receiving the news that the western monk Greenqin had defeated the Eagle Army and killed more than 1,700 people, the hearts of Ruilin and Shengbao in the east fell to the ground, and if the west road was not protected, the two of them would also be in danger.
This battle gave Katsuho and Zuolin confidence, and the battle became more and more intense.
However, the more he insisted, the more obvious the defects of the weapons became, and after holding out for two days, more than half of the casualties were lost, and he had to retreat.
Although the Eagle Weight Coalition Army here is well-armed, but the number of people is small after all, although it occupies the Bali Bridge, it has also paid more than 3,000 lives before and after, and more than 1,000 people who have been injured are also half of the casualties.
However, the capital was in front of them, and they couldn't just let it go, so they sent away nearly 1,000 people who were seriously injured and couldn't fight, and transferred 2,000 people from the remaining warships to form an army of more than 7,000 people to enter the capital.
At this time, the people in Beijing were panicked, officials and businessmen went out of the city to take refuge, and most of the more than 100,000 Qing troops were scattered. The Eagle Weight coalition army did not know that Xianfeng had already fled to the Chengde Summer Resort, and heard that Xianfeng was in the Old Summer Palace, so they bypassed the capital and went straight to the Old Summer Palace.
Looting has become their instinct, it doesn't matter if they find Xianfeng or not, they looted the Old Summer Palace, smashed what they couldn't take away, and then burned it clean.
