The grenades were thrown out one after another and exploded after landing.
The suicide squad of more than a hundred people was instantly overwhelmed by grenades.
This scene stunned the coalition forces who were just about to charge along the road opened by the death squads. Their bodies stiffened and they stood there in a daze, not daring to move forward. Adams and Russell were also dumbfounded. Look at it.
I, I look at you, your big eyes are staring at your small eyes, your eyeballs are bulging like those of a toad, and my heart feels cold.
Adams sighed and said: "Sir Russell, the death squad tactics are useless, what should I do?"
Russell said: "Stop the attack and think about another solution."
Adams said: "Okay, let's retreat a mile to keep distance from the Qing army to avoid being attacked."
The two ordered them to retreat one mile, and the three thousand soldiers retreated like a tide.
The fire gradually faded away and stopped a mile away from where Huang Shihai had deployed his defense. Huang Shihai blinked his eyes when he saw the foreigners retreating, and suddenly said: "Commander, I suddenly thought of a question. We used landmines to block the foreigners' charge.
The offensive forced the foreigners to retreat. Now if we want to launch a counterattack, how can we rush over?"
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.
At this moment, Li Zhen also felt that Huang Shihai was a top-notch person.
Immediately, Li Zhen said: "Counterattack is necessary, but so far the foreigners have not suffered much losses. If we chase them out, even if the foreigners are defeated, they can return to the warships, then escape and continue to roam the sea. Therefore, we are now
Find ways to hold the opponent back, wait until you come up with the idea of capturing the opponent's warship, and then counterattack with all your strength to prevent them from escaping."
Huang Shihai asked: "Commander, is there any way to capture the opponent's warship?"
Li Zhen said with certainty: "Yes!"
Huang Shihai said happily: "In that case, you should execute the order immediately. The foreigners dare to drive the people to step on the thunder, a group of beasts, a group of bastards. After destroying their warships, we can deal with these bastards properly."
Li Zhen said: "You take the soldiers to stay here, and I will take some of the soldiers back to the city."
"Go back and leave this place to me." Huang Shihai said simply.
Suddenly, noisy shouts of killing came from the city, and a red fire appeared, accompanied by messy and rapid gunshots. Li Zhen's heart suddenly flashed, and he knew something was wrong.
In this situation, something must have happened in the city.
"Report!"
A soldier hurried over on horseback, looking panicked and worried.
Li Zhen asked: "What happened in the city?"
The soldier turned over and dismounted, saluted, and said: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, more than a thousand foreigners stationed in the concession suddenly rebelled and have already gone to Daotai Mansion. Please send troops for reinforcements, commander-in-chief."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a battalion of soldiers watching the foreigners. Isn't anyone paying attention?"
The soldier said eagerly: "The soldiers stationed in the concession have been defeated. Mr. Liu said that there are only 300 female soldiers in the house, and the time cannot be delayed for too long. Please ask the commander to reinforce immediately."
"His! His!"
Li Zhen took a deep breath, secretly hating that he had cut the grass but not the roots.
After killing Aliguo and Aitang, we should have completely controlled the British and French forces stationed in the concession.
Even if the opponent's people are not killed, the firearms of all the coalition soldiers should be confiscated and the coalition soldiers should be controlled. Now British and French soldiers are coming to kill outside the city, and problems have arisen in the city, and the situation is even more complicated. Li
Zhen Zhen glanced at him and ordered: "Huang Shihuai and Qi Zhenhai are ordered to summon a thousand soldiers and sixty special forces from the Jian Dao Battalion to follow me back to the city."
"yes!"
The two of them responded with clasped fists, both with eager expressions on their faces.
Huang Shihai's sister Huang Qi is in Daotai Mansion. If something goes wrong, Huang Shihai will definitely be devastated. Qi Zhenhai's father-in-law and wife are also worried in Daotai Mansion, hoping that Zhou Xiuying can stop the foreigners.
Li Zhen turned his eyes, looked at Yang Banhou, and said: "Ban Hou, you are the deputy commander. Except for Huang Shihai, you have the highest military position. You stay to command the soldiers to stop the foreigners. If you have many things to do with Lu Shaochuan,
Smith to discuss.”
"Yes!" Yang Banhou said seriously.
In a short time, Huang Shihai had summoned soldiers from three battalions and sixty soldiers from the Jian Dao Battalion.
Li Zhen shouted: "Let's go back to the city immediately!"
In an instant, more than a thousand people quickly retreated and ran towards the east gate. Li Zhen left with more than a thousand soldiers. There was a lot of movement, which immediately attracted the attention of Adams and Russell. The two saw the fire coming out of the city.
Hearing gunshots coming from the city. Although Adams suffered defeats at the hands of Li Zhen, he was also extremely shrewd.
Adams rolled his eyes and said: "Your Excellency Russell, Li Zhen led the troops to leave, there must be something wrong in the city. I think it was the coalition soldiers stationed in the city who knew about our attack on Shanghai, and we launched the attack in response.
Attack. Now, there are coalition soldiers inside and outside the city. Should we prepare to prevent the soldiers in the city from being wiped out?"
"Prepare??"
Russell frowned and said, "How can we prepare if we can't move forward?"
Adams said seriously: "There is more than one way to Shanghai. If we don't take the official road, why don't we take a small road? I think we can take a small road to the east gate and enter the city."
Russell said: "The idea is good, but it must be carefully considered, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed."
The two chattered quietly, discussing how to deal with it.
…
In the city, Daotai Mansion.
The house was brightly lit, and standing in the hall was a female general wearing a helmet. She was Zhou Xiuying.
Next to Zhou Xiuying were Liu Taiping, Liu Die, Zhilan, Huang Qi, Alice and Gu Yili. Facing the coalition soldiers, Zhou Xiuying calmly commanded the three hundred female soldiers to use thick wooden boards, as well as the government officials.
Bags of grain accumulated in the upper warehouse were piled up in the courtyard inside the gate, forming rows of fortifications.
Liu Taiping looked at Zhou Xiuying's arrangement, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "General Zhou, most of the foreigners are attracted inside the gate. However, a small number of soldiers are also needed to patrol the back door and the courtyard to prevent a few foreigners from taking advantage of the loophole.
"
After hearing this, Zhou Xiuying immediately ordered thirty female soldiers to patrol the backyard and the house.
There was a lot of noise outside the house, and foreigners had begun to bang on the door.
Zhou Xiuying looked stern, and with a wave of her hand, a female soldier came over carrying a plate.
Inside the plate was a small, sharp dagger.
Zhou Xiuying looked at Zhilan, Liu Die and other women and said: "The commander led his troops out of the city to meet the enemy and cannot come back for the time being. Even if he is notified by the soldiers, he doesn't know when he will be able to come back? The foreigners have already begun to attack Taotai.
I don’t know if we can hold the mansion. Once it is captured before the general returns, we will all fall into the hands of foreigners."
Speaking of this, Zhou Xiuying said in a low voice: "Men are just killed, but women are different. I will give each of you a dagger. Once Daotai Mansion is captured, we have no way to retreat, so everyone should commit suicide to avoid
Insulted by foreigners."
Liu Taiping took a breath and secretly said that she is such a strong woman.
Li Zhen is really lucky to have such a woman in his previous life!
ps: The third update is completed; the excitement continues, please give me flowers.
