The Japanese army exploded around them, causing waves of gray and frightened. They were all mixed with the sound of whizzing bullets breaking through the air, and they were still bombing like rain!

"Search for the Qing army's artillery positions! Order the artillery to destroy them!"

Xiaoye lay in a dirt pit in a mess, spitting saliva full of dust, quietly observing the Qing army position opposite.

"I haven't seen each other for several years, and the Qing army is still the same. Is it really not growing? No wonder the great powers can't help but send troops!"

When Ono saw that the Qing army still had an old fighting style that remained unchanged for thousands of years, he felt much more relieved.

"Stop firing! Damn the Japanese, all the Japanese were scared to death. You still fired, can you shoot? "The Qing general in front of the position said with a pout.

Boom boom boom boom!

The Qing army's artillery shells continued to bombard the Japanese army in front, but when the sound of artillery sounded, the Japanese army's attack direction was not moving at all. However, occasionally, a little Japanese soldiers were blown away by the artillery shells! Let the Qing army on the opposite side know that the Japanese army did not retreat.

In the telescope, Japanese commander Ono has already appeared the artillery position of the Qing army opposite.

"A group of idiots! They actually built field artillery into fixed turrets?"

Ono shook his head and turned around and ordered: "Order the artillery corps to implement fire suppression on the Chinese artillery positions in the northeast, and be sure to destroy them!"

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The Japanese's bronze field guns opened fire. Although their bronze field guns had a small diameter, the amount of shells was generally higher than the average level of various countries. Moreover, the Japanese army seemed to have tasted the sweetness brought by this high-pharmaceutical shell from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895!

Boom boom boom boom!

The Qing army's artillery positions were immediately hit by the Japanese firepower coverage. It has to be said that in order to save military expenses, the Japanese practiced artillery skills hard, but in terms of the same number of artillery shells, the shooting accuracy was extremely high.

The artillery on the Qing army's artillery positions were silent. When Ono saw the most dangerous Qing army artillery extinguished, he immediately ordered the Japanese army to get up and charge.

According to the experience in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, at this time, as long as the Japanese army approached the Qing army's position a hundred meters, the Qing army would flee in sight.

However, this time, the Qing army seemed to have a little memory. The bullets did not fire all of them, but waited for the moment when the Japanese army stood up and charged before firing.

Slap sex!

Although there was a rain of bullets in the middle of the gun, although only the first shot was easier to hit the Japanese army, because after the Qing soldiers fired, the bullets were higher and higher. Almost the bullets behind them could not hit people. However, the number of Qing soldiers was large, five or six times that of the Japanese army charged. There were many people and they were brave enough! Moreover, the Qing army has suffered losses from the Japanese soldiers and is eager to take revenge in their hearts. For this reason, the Japanese army suffered nearly a hundred casualties after the first round of gunfire.

Well, the number of casualties on the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was suddenly passed. I have to say that the Qing army still made progress!

Boom boom boom boom!

The Japanese commander Tang Buye looked up and saw that the Qing army's artillery shells flew over again, causing the Japanese army that attacked were injured again. They either lie down on the spot or were hit by gunfire.

"Damn it! Ono roared: "Why didn't the Qing army's artillery position be suppressed?"

"Report! The Qing army's artillery was protected by sandbag fortifications. Our artillery was small in diameter and could not effectively destroy their cannons, but could only kill their artillery!"

"Go and notify the coalition commander and ask for support from France's heavy artillery!"

In the palace hall of the Forbidden City, Empress Dowager Cixi and the civil and military ministers of the court heard that foreign soldiers had reached the capital, their expressions were different.

Some are full of anger, some are worried and anxious, some are weak and scared, and some are even more honest and obedient!

"Is the news true? Lies about military affairs and kills your nine clans!" Rong Lu asked harshly, his eyes almost like the eunuch who reported the news.

The eunuch knocked his head on the marble floor, not daring to look up, but replied: "It was the Five City Military Command who sent someone to report and wait outside the hall!"

"Call it up!" Ronglu immediately ordered.

After a while, the people who reported the news came to the hall, but they were so anxious that everyone in the hall cursed in their hearts why the palace had been repaired so long?

"The Empress Dowager of the Cavalry, the slave, came to report the message under the order of the commander of the Five City Military and Mass Naji, and the Tongzhou direction received a report of fierce gunfire, and a large number of troops appeared in Huangcun, Nancheng. Now the Five City Military and Mass has blocked the outer city, and the two thousand foreign soldiers in Dongjiaomin Lane have rushed out of the embassy area, and the troops are divided into two groups, advancing towards the outer city and the imperial palace. Please make the Queen Mother decide!"

Ronglu frowned and asked, "Have you ever seen the foreign army brigade?"

The visitor reported: "Yes! They are all well-equipped firearms, and they are still far away and can't see clearly, but they don't have braids! In Tongzhou, the guns and cannons in Daxing direction are fierce, and it is probably where the Tongzhou defenders and foreign soldiers exchanged fire! The foreign soldiers in Dongjiaomin Lane were dispatched in full swing, obviously intending to cooperate with the foreign soldiers outside the city!"

Ronglu waved his hand and signaled the informant to go down.

Empress Dowager Cixi had already stood up, obviously believing that the foreign soldiers had reached Beijing City, otherwise the foreign soldiers in the city would not have started to move!

"What should I do? Do you guys have a good plan to get rid of the enemy?"

Empress Dowager Cixi tried hard to keep her calm. However, her voice was still a little trembling, and if she listened carefully, she could tell it. But now no one would pay attention to this. Now foreigners are already at the city, and once they attack, they will be a disaster for the destruction of the country.

Good strategy?

If all the civil and military officials in the court plunder the wealth of the people from the people, they will have a lot of good ideas, but when facing foreigners, they will be a bunch of good ideas, so how can they be found?

Not only is it impossible to come up with a good plan, now most ministers are probably starting to think about it for a while and then quickly run away. Foreigners have always been like robbers. A few years ago, didn’t they rob the Old Summer Palace? Now they are attacking Beijing, aren’t they just going to go to the capital to rob?

Those who were so rich in the Qing Dynasty, weren’t they rare treasures such as gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings hidden at home?

After a long time, all the civil and military officials in the court were mute. Empress Dowager Cixi immediately said angrily: "You are saying something! Foreigners are about to hit in! You don't even make a fart." Where did you usually go?"

"Ronglu! You are the Minister of Military Affairs, you have a special idea!"

No one answered, I can’t wait for this matter! Empress Dowager Cixi had no choice but to name her.

Ronglu was also stunned and said in his heart: It’s not good to be a confidant!

"Uh" this," I think there are no less than 80,000 troops in the capital, including the Imperial Guards, which is enough to resist foreign soldiers for several days!"

"Nonsense!" Empress Dowager Cixi said angrily: "Eighty thousand people can't beat foreigners, and they can also stop Qing Dynasty demolition workers' chapter list , it's like a small one to tell you that the Ai family is asking you to come up with a way to retreat the enemy. Ronglu was so depressed! He thought to himself: What's wrong with this? Zaitian died and was furious. Now that the foreign soldiers are coming, he still vents his anger. Could it be that your punching bag is yours?

However, Ronglu thought about it. He naturally did not dare to say that, and he had to greet him with a smile. He said, "The Empress Dowager calmed down. The slave thought that the foreign soldiers suddenly came to the city, and they would definitely not be the main force of the foreign soldiers? The two armies of the imperial court went south to block the Eight-Nation Alliance and did not receive any news of defeat. As long as the Empress Dowager personally took charge of the capital, the army and the civilians in the capital were united, the foreign soldiers outside the city would naturally not be able to attack the capital. Within a few days, when the army of various kings arrived, they would definitely kill these foreigners who were ignorant of the sky and the earth without leaving behind!"

Although Cixi knew that what Ronglu said was equivalent to not saying the same thing, her anger disappeared a little.

"Ten thousand elite troops of the court went south to block the Eight-Nation Alliance. But they let foreign troops come to the city. I think the Empress Dowager should issue an order to punish the commander of the two military guards!"

OK! When is it all right? Someone else began to impeach the front-line generals. Well, it turned out to be Lian Yuan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Hey, isn’t he a clerk of Emperor Guangxu? Why haven’t he been demoted yet? It turns out that Empress Dowager Cixi was a ruler after all, and she couldn’t do things too well. Although the later party had real power, they were all waste. She couldn’t kill all the clerks of Emperor Guangxu, right? After all, the court still needs someone to govern!

But now that Guangxu was beaten and died in a bad life, Lian Yuan was naturally sad and hated the Later Party even more. Especially the generals of the Wuwei Army who held military power, they supported Cixi, which led to Emperor Guangxu's reform failure and now he died.

So they seized the opportunity and impeached these people. No matter what powers invade the country, they were in danger of national disaster. They were all business women who did not know the hatred of the country. In fact, these Qingliu schools became crazy, which was even more powerful!

When Empress Dowager Cixi heard Lian Yuan's words, she frowned, but fortunately, Lian Yuan usually made this article.

He has become accustomed to his virtue. At present, the Eight-Nation Alliance is actually at the gate of the city, and Empress Dowager Cixi's two elite intercepting soldiers did not send any message back, which made Empress Dowager Cixi dissatisfied.

"Let's talk about their affairs later. Now let's put aside the foreign soldiers outside the city, but the two thousand foreign soldiers in the city are coming to attack the imperial city, so I must teach them a blow!"

Empress Dowager Cixi was naturally worried about these foreign soldiers who came to attack the imperial city. She had always believed Ronglu's words about the foreigners who wanted to kill her and return to Guangxu. Now it seems that this foreigner is obviously what happened to him.

of!

In fact, she was wrongly blamed the great powers. The great powers just wanted a ruler who could talk to them. It didn't matter who it was. Seymour, the commander of the coalition forces in Dongjiaomin Lane, learned that Zhang Yunfei's army had already arrived at the city, and immediately sent troops to Dongcheng to cooperate with the Chinese army.

However, he thought about it again that Zhang Yunfei was about to enter Beijing. There were so many treasures in Beijing, especially in the palace. He had long since found out that Empress Dowager Cixi collected countless treasures and locked them in the palace.

Isn't this foreigner coming to China from afar to say wealth? But these soldiers were very pitiful and could not get a lot of wealth from the merchants. So Seymour wanted to take advantage of the turmoil of the Chinese army to enter Beijing and if he split some troops to attack the imperial palace in China first, he would get the huge wealth of Empress Dowager Cixi, and Zhang Yunfei would have nothing to say.

However, people from other countries did not know about this. They thought that outside the city was really an Eight-Nation Alliance? Therefore, the more than a thousand troops heading to the East City were all from other countries. Without the British, all the British turned around to advance towards the Forbidden City.

Dongjiaomin Lane is very close to the Forbidden City. It arrived in the blink of an eye, which also created the illusion that the Eight-Nation Alliance Army was at the city.

Outside the east gate of Dongcheng, the Chinese Infantry Division was the first to arrive, but it was unable to rush into the city when the Qing army closed the city gate.

It has to be said that compared with the Qing army in other cities, the Qing army in Beijing was still a little stronger, at least it did not allow the Chinese army to successfully attack.

This may be the reason why it is abandoned as a major capital of the capital. Perhaps it is because the dynasty is now in turmoil and foreign soldiers are in the capital. No matter how powerful the Qing army in the capital is, they are smart?

"Open the city gate, we are the left army of Wuwei, and we are ordered to go to Beijing to eliminate foreign troops!"

The soldiers of the Huajun Gang regiment under the city shouted. Now they can only be killed by the dead. If they can cheat, they will make a profit. If they can cheat, they can only fight!

"You think you are a fool! The Wuwei Left Army is stationed in Wanping. Why are you here to the capital?"

The person who spoke was Najib, the commander of the Five City Military Command. Since he received the news of a fierce gun battle in Tongzhou, Najib knew that the capital was about to fight. He had fought a real war with such a big wave, but now his calves are cramped and soft. He is so scared.

Naji knew best how much he was, he was a bannerman who made money. And his subordinates knew even better that like the Eight Banners children in the capital, they were all in a group of people.

Now Najib wanted the army in front of him to be the real Wuwei Left Army. A false alarm was the best ending he expected, but the dark army entering Beijing would probably be 100% enemy.

I heard that the British specially formed an army that was completely Chinese. Could it be the fake left army of the Wuwei Guard in front of me?

"I'm going to the city, let's talk about it when it's dawn!"

"Where do you let us sleep in the dark sky?"

While the Chinese army was shouting, they had already begun to attack formations. The guns of the brothers of the old regiment had already pointed at the city, and the mortar squads of the company and platoon had quickly set up mortars, and the ammunition hand carried the ammunition box to the side and opened it.

"Damn it! It's going to attack the city!" Naji muttered softly, ~ He was not blind and was condescending, so he could naturally see the movements of the enemy troops under the city.

"shot!"

"attack!"

Both sides shouted out almost at the same time, and soldiers from both sides also shot.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong!

The mortars of the steering gates all made a short sound, and small-caliber shells with a font roared towards the city wall.

An Boombo!

With the explosions, balls of yellow and white flames rose into the air, and the Qing army guarding the city walls suddenly screamed and howled ghosts and wolves.

What weapon is this?
