Chapter 2: Battle of Guanyin Mountain

The Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi has now become the office of the "Three-person Committee". The "Occupy Committee" of Britain and France is composed of British Bashali, Haveiro and French Shulai. Guangzhou Consul Bashali is a three-person leader. He is not only familiar with the Chinese people in Guangzhou, but also speaks fluent Chinese.

The study room of Xingyuan was also occupied by the magpies' nest, which was a secret discussion place for the three-person committee. Today, there are three more Chinese people, Li Xiaocun, Wang Daochong and Li Minghan. All three of them were wearing tuxedoes and could speak English. Guangzhou people called the three of them "ghost clothes, ghost hats, and single words".

All three of them are natives in Guangzhou, either doing translation or doing business in Guangzhou and Hong Kong. Li Xiaocun and Wang Daochong can speak fluent English. Although Li Minghan is not as good as the first two, he can understand what foreigners say.

These three people are the real leaders of the pseudo-regime, assisting the "Three-Person Committee". Now the Chinese police in Guangzhou City obey the orders of the three of them.

Li Minghan and others privately called their three people the "Three Chinese Committees", which felt that they were less than one person and more than ten thousand people. They didn't even take it seriously for Guangdong Governor Bai Gui.

Today, the three Chinese people in Sanyang were discussing the matter, but the atmosphere seemed a bit strange. It was because Mr. Harveyro was extremely nervous and his brown eyes showed uneasy. He repeatedly asked the three Chinese people in Li Xiaocun about Duke Jing Xiang's news.

Xiulai was much more arrogant, beating his long pipe, and his two well-trimmed beards were arrogantly raised, "Dear Mr. Javiero, I think your concerns are completely unnecessary. The Hong Kong newspapers' reports on the Sino-Russian War are just April Fool's Day jokes. We all have a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese, right? Jing Xiang's rifle team was once disarmed by a small number of British sailors when they were trained in Hong Kong. Isn't it?"

"No, no, no." Mr. Harveyro kept shook his head, "Time is the catalyst for change. When Duke Jingxiang's rifle team clashed with Chinese sailors in Hong Kong, I could feel that Duke Jingxiang was a very serious and persistent person. I think if we underestimate his rifle team, we will pay a heavy price."

Xiulai smiled disdainfully: "Mr. Haveiro, it's hard for me to understand why you are worried about the Chinese? But I insist on defeating this Chinese army with force and gaining the most powerful bargaining chips for our future negotiations."

Listening to Mr. Haweiro and Mr. Xiulai's argument, Li Xiaocun and the other two looked at each other without saying a word. For the first time, they saw foreigners. Although Li Xiaocun and Wang Daochong were recognized as "two devils" by Guangzhou people, they were somewhat proud at this moment. The Duke of the Kingdom, how could Mr. Haweiro be so afraid of Mr. Haweiro, which shows that we Chinese are not without men. Even the former Master Xianfeng, these foreigners were obviously disdainful when talking about it? Duke of the Kingdom, how old is? It is really comparable to Gan Luo who was twelve years old. Our Qing Dynasty revival may be counting on Duke of the Kingdom.

Li Minghan murmured in a low voice: "What are you afraid of in those days of Qing Dynasty? The playboy who had not yet grown up, ask me to tell me to go to Huacheng to catch him now."

When Li Xiaocun and Wang Daochong heard his crazy words, they frowned slightly and ignored him. Li Minghan had moved his family to Hong Kong and even began to regard himself as a British citizen. He was even more arrogant and domineering in Guangzhou City and was so arrogant that he took people to seal several business dealings with him, and even threw several people who had offended him into prison.

Most of the infamous Li Xiaocun and Wang Daochong were burdened by him.

"Li, is your information accurate?" Baxiali, who had not spoken much, had a very deep look like an eagle-like eagle.

"It's true!" Li Minghan patted his chest to guarantee. The message just came from Huacheng was that only a vanguard of four or five hundred men arrived at Huacheng, but the large army under Jing Xiang's command would not arrive in four or five days.

When Mr. Havero heard the information mention, he looked more concerned and said, "We must be prepared to prevent Jing Xiang's rifle team from mingling into Guangzhou City to create chaos. I am sure that Jing Xiang will definitely attack our office." The office in his mouth is naturally the Governor's Office where several people are now.

Xiulai's nose made a disdainful hum, "The Chinese have been scared by us and can only bluff."

Mr. Havelo felt that he could not communicate with this arrogant Frenchman at all, so he had to look at Bashali as if he wanted help. He believed that Bashali's understanding of the Chinese would support his point of view.

Bashali was fighting another abacus. He knew very well that although the Russians were weak in the Far East, the army that greatly humiliated the Russians must not be ignored. Completely defeating it would be a devastating blow to the Chinese government's confidence. Now there are only a few hundred Chinese soldiers in Huacheng, which is the best time to attack them.

Bashali's slightly old hands crossed on his chest. Apart from his sharp eyes, he looked lifeless, just like a figure in a mural, but when his eyes burst out with heat, few people dared to look at him. "Dear Haveiro, your concerns are very correct. Jing Xiang's rifle team should be the most elite army in China, so while they have just arrived in Guangdong, I am going to launch an assault. If Jing Xiang can be captured, it will bring incredible glory and harvest to our career in China."

Mr. Xiulai immediately echoed excitedly: "I fully agree with Mr. Consul's proposal. If Jing Xiang does not cooperate with our occupation, we can also send him to India to imprisonment."

They spoke too fast, and Li Minghan didn't understand, so he whispered to Li Xiaocun to translate it for himself. When he heard the coalition forces were preparing to attack Huacheng, he was more excited than anyone else and said excitedly: "I'll just say it, I'll just say it, I should have captured Jingxiang." It seemed that he was extremely honored to arrest the Duke of China.

Bashali turned his head to Li Minghan and said, "Li, please go and help the coalition forces prepare the guide now..."

Before he finished speaking, a loud "coaxing" sounded loudly, as if the earth was trembling, and the few people in the study changed color in horror.

"It's Jingxiang, it must be Jingxiang's troops who have smuggled into the city!" Mr. Haviro's face flushed, and his trembling hands were crossing his chest. A few years ago, he was beaten by a group of villagers when he went to Foshan. He still shuddered when thinking about the enthusiastic hatred of the villagers. Although the people in Guangzhou and the Westerners have lived in peace, he still has an instinctive fear of the Chinese.

"Guards, Guards!" Bashali shouted a few times, the study door was pushed open, and several British soldiers in red uniforms had bayonets on their rifles, and the cold light flashed. A British soldier reported loudly: "Governor General! The explosion came from Guanyin Mountain! The order has been sent! All the troops stationed in the Governor General's Office were alert!" Privately, these soldiers called Bashali the Governor General of Guangzhou.

Bashali was slightly relieved. Although all Indian mercenaries stationed near the Governor's Office were stationed, they were extremely vigilant because they were always on guard against Chinese rebellions and were extremely vigilant, so they even set up artillery in front of the Governor's Office Square.

"Go and check if the explosion came from Guanyin Mountain Military Camp." Baxiali said with a calm face. It was probably because of the improper preservation of gunpowder that caused the explosion. The arrogant Commander Carpenter never listened to his advice, and he could take this opportunity to rush his chin to the country.

Ba Xiali and others walked out of the study room. The courtyard was elegant and quiet. Ye Mingchen liked bamboo the most. The study room was green and green, and the breeze blew, rustling.

In the direction of Guanyin Mountain, there was a faint sound of gunfire.

Baxiali frowned even more. Could it be that the strange Chinese people were using big swords and spears to harass the coalition forces? Several incidents occurred when they occupied Guangzhou just now, but after seeing the power of the firearms, such unwise attacks by the Chinese people gradually disappeared.

The six people looked at me, and I looked at you, but they couldn't guess what was going on.

It was not until more than half an hour later that a soldier in military uniform ran into the yard in a very embarrassing manner. He ran so hard that he was out of breath. Fang Qiao's cap also fell off. When he entered the yard, he sat on the ground and shouted loudly: "Zhong, the Chinese attacked Guanyin Mountain..."

"What?" Baxiali was shocked, "How many people are there? Who is it? Is it Jing Xiang's infantry battalion?" As he said, his gloomy eyes glanced at Li Minghan. Li Minghan was so scared that his scalp exploded and said loudly: "No, no, there is no mistake in the news about villains! The Chinese army is very far away from Guangzhou, and only a few hundred people in Jing Xiang's infantry battalion have just arrived in Huacheng."

Baxiali didn't say anything, Yin Zhi's eyes turned to Guanyin Mountain in the north, where there seemed to be a faint flash of fire.

At this moment, there were shouts of killing in Guanyin Mountain. Shenbao was carrying a machete and cruising in the fire-lit coalition camp. The soldiers who had just been awakened from the wooden house were often chopped to the ground with one knife.

With the crackling sound of fire, his figure also drifted with the fire.

The soldiers and brave men in Zhenwu Camp were loading bayonets and fighting desperately. Everyone was thinking about the scene of God's custody and teaching before going to war.

"Zhenwu Camp! It is an invincible army outside the pass! But when you return to Guangzhou, you are a little shorter than others! Why?! You all know! Because you have been confiscated by only a dozen British British people! This is a great humiliation of Zhenwu Camp! It is a humiliation that has been stamped on your face for a lifetime! Now, the Grand Marshal has given us the opportunity to cleanse up the shame! What should we do?!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At that moment, bloody murderous aura soared into the sky, as if the full moon was shrouded.

"Kill!" The soldiers with red eyes only had this word left in their minds!

The coalition soldiers who were awakened by the sudden killing rushed and screamed in terror.

"Bang bang bang" Zhenhai Tower finally organized an effective defense, fired guns, and several Red Tassel soldiers fell to the ground bravely.

The God of God shouted loudly: "Follow me!" It was like a plague god coming to the world, and he walked with great strides. Soon, after him, more than a dozen bayonets with red eyes followed.

The Zhenhai Tower was dark, and the God Guard stepped up the stairs. Then the bayonets followed, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. I don’t know how many corpses rolled down the stairs.

"Bang", Shen Bao was shot on the left shoulder, and the blood quickly turned red. But he seemed to have not realized it, and jumped up a few times and chopped over the Yi soldiers who were on the slab's mouth.

In front of the corridor window, the row of coalition soldiers shooting outward turned their guns, and the few bayonets left behind Shen Bao rushed forward quickly, "Kill!" The ferocious and desperate aura seemed to hit the faces of the coalition soldiers. Several timid coalition soldiers felt their calves twitching, but they didn't obey the command.

But the more fierce coalition soldiers rushed up to surround the Shenbao and his men.

"Hey!" After a bayonet stabbed the other magistrate, his chest was immediately stabbed into a bloody hole.

"Ah!" Shen Bao shouted loudly, and cut off half of Ying Bing's neck in front of him with a knife. Ying Bing's head was extremely strange and he staggered to the ground.

This bloody scene made a British sergeant unable to help but kneel beside him and vomit loudly.

"Kill!" More than a dozen bayonets rushed up at the entrance of the stairs, almost storming the remaining few soldiers into blood sieves.

The Khanbao was shot on the left shoulder, and his back was scratched by a bayonet, almost half of his body lost consciousness. But he strode to the window and looked down at the outside.

On the east side, the coalition forces have organized front-line gunfire shooting, and more and more coalition soldiers have come back to their senses in the messy military camp, and have launched hand-to-hand combat with Zhen and the battalions.

Godboy turned around and said loudly to the dozen bayonets: "Call to me!"

"Zhe!" Although I don't know what the leader is going to shout, how could I think about any questions at this time? In the bloody battle, they have long become robots. They only know what the superior wants to do, so they follow them!

"Don't kill me!" The God Bao shouted, and the Yiyu, who was forced to remember by the commander, was forced to shout by the commander hundreds or thousands of times, which was very standard.

"Don't kill!" The bayonets yelled together, but their tone was extremely strange, but when they shouted together, they could still understand what it meant.

Sure enough, the wooden house downstairs where there was a cold gun shooting began to shake the white flag, and the coalition soldiers who were fighting bayonets retreated one after another and ran to the open space to act in a warning posture, but they did not dare to put down the rifle in their hands.

The Godbao shouted with the bayonets several times, and there were more and more white flags.

This is the opportunity that the Godpala shouted: "Blow the trumpet! Retreat!" With a wave of his hand, he led the bayonets downstairs quickly.

Although the general's plan to attack Guanyin Mountain only requires killing dozens of British, French and French soldiers, if my God Guard does not double the results of the battle, would he still have the face to see the general?

What's more, why did the Grand Marshal want to attack the martial arts camp as a pioneer? It was clearly thoughtful and had long been determined to attack Britain and France. The Zhenwu camp, which was once disarmed by the Chinese camp in Hong Kong, was not the best choice for the surprise attack? The Grand Marshal really had a plan thousands of miles away!

However, the God Bao also knew that although the surprise attack was successful, more than a thousand regular troops of the British and French coalition forces were stationed in Guanyin Mountain. When they recovered, even if they fought with bayonets, they would not have the advantage. What's more, the Yi soldiers in Guangzhou City and the Yi soldiers in Huangpu Port would come to rescue them at all times. Naturally, they would hit the target and leave as soon as they hit.

The sound of the horns and hundreds of bayonets quickly evacuated the battlefield.

And the generals who were gradually organizing a team of soldiers to counterattack naturally did not dare to order to chase him.

The fire was burning, and the military camp was in chaos, with bloody corpses everywhere, some of which were almost dismembered by scattered bones, bloody intestines flowed out, and some soldiers vomited loudly.

I thought it was easier to come to China than to take a vacation, right? There were no casualties in conquering Guangzhou City, and there was no decent resistance. Who knew that the brutal Chinese finally showed their fangs and made a bloody revenge.

In the study of the Governor's Office in Guangdong and Guangxi, Baxiali's face turned pale and was writing a letter, with angry flames leaping in his eyes.

Three Chinese people look at me, look at you, no one dares to say anything. Just now, the Guanyin Mountain Military Camp came to report that they were attacked by the infantry battalion under the command of Chinese commander Jing Xiang. The casualties of the coalition forces were estimated to be no less than 200.

This was the most painful failure I had encountered since my contact with this ancient empire. Even the Battle of Zhenjiang and Sanyuanli, which had the greatest losses more than ten years ago, only thirty or fifty people died, and most of them were hired by Indian troops.

The regular army gathered thousands of people and was attacked by the Chinese and suffered heavy losses. It is said that the casualties of Chinese soldiers exceeded 100, which is simply unbelievable and shocking, and even more so that Baxiali felt a serious frustration, which was a feeling that he had never felt before after coming to China.

I originally wanted to raid someone, but I was raided for no reason. I discussed how to capture Jing Xiang, but on the other hand, Jing Xiang's wolves had already washed away Guanyin Mountain.

What I just discussed in the study now seems like a big joke, and it is simply a humiliation of being covered in people's heads and faces. Bashali's self-esteem has been hit unprecedentedly.

Mr. Xiulai's arrogant look seemed to have suddenly ejaculated, and he fiddled with the jade pipe in his hand without saying a word.

Harveyro became even more uneasy and murmured without knowing what he was talking to himself.

"Guard! Give me my handwritten letter to Commander Carpenter, Huangpu Port, and ask him to attack Huacheng immediately." Bashali shouted loudly, handed over a letter to the guards running in, and turned to Li Minghan and said, "Li, you are your guide myself!"

Li Minghan shivered, but when he looked at Baxiali's gaze, he knew that this foreigner was on the fire, so how could he dare not agree?

Li Xiaocun and Wang Daochong looked at each other without saying a word, not knowing what they were thinking about.

In the Xiangyuan Flower Hall, Zhenwu Camp is still on the way to retreat, and there is a Pegasus coming to report the results. Ye Zhao, who has been waiting for the news, was relieved.

Why did he choose the Guanyin Mountain Allied Forces camp instead of sneaking into Guangzhou City to attack the Governor's Mansion? First, the melee in the city is the people who suffer the most; second, attacking the regular British and French Allied Forces can more intimidate foreigners; third, no one would have thought that he would pick a hard persimmon, but in fact, the Indian mercenaries in Guangzhou City are more strict in the defense, and attacking the Governor's Mansion will not have the effect of a surprise attack.

The 500 infantry battalion people went straight to Guanyin Mountain before they could rest in Huacheng, which made Baxiali and others even more surprised. Since they had a wired tour, they naturally knew when the infantry battalion arrived in Huacheng. No matter how much they estimated, they would not have thought that they would not wait for the brigade to assemble, but instead used hundreds of people to conduct an assault. The target of the assault was used to intimidate the Guanyin Mountain Military Camp in Guangzhou Tuanyong.

Now, the British and French coalition forces are definitely planning a counterattack. All they have to do is to evacuate Huacheng as soon as possible and make conspiracies with most of the rounds.

The order has been passed down, and it is time for him to leave. Ye Zhao stood up and sighed softly. The city also mobilized the people to avoid it for a while, otherwise the British and French forces would be afraid of scattering this resentment on the people after occupying Huacheng.

Bakesh suddenly hurried in and beat Qian: "Master! The envoy of Fogang Xuanfu Jiang Zhongchang, and the chief minister Zhao Yuanpei led Chaoyong to come and vote!"

"Oh? Come in!" Ye Zhaoben was about to discuss matters with various village heroes after most of the people arrived, but he didn't expect them to come first. Chaozhou people were united and fighting, and Chaoy was extremely fierce.
