Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 920 Huge inertia

At the same time, Hu Biao and others had a goal and once again began to rush towards the Zunhua area overnight.

Location: In the Yinfa coalition camp at Baliqiao.

Montauban, the commander-in-chief of the French army, and Grant, the commander-in-chief of the Yin army, were awakened in the middle of the night. They walked out of the field hospital where more than 200 people were lying.

Every one of them looked extremely ugly.

The reason for this was not only that the two of them had not slept well at all and had huge dark circles on their faces; the more critical reason was the huge number of casualties.

You must know that after a big battle with Daqing's 46-strong army, their number of wounded soldiers was only [-].

The number of seriously injured people did not exceed double digits.

Who would have thought that just after encountering the legendary 'Xuan Ge Camp' in the afternoon, the number of their casualties would exceed a hundred times.

The number of injured people also exceeded several times.

This made the two people who at noon were still thinking that because of the glorious victory in the Baliqiao battle that they would receive a high-level medal or even be promoted after returning home, they felt very disappointed.

But what the two of them are most worried about is what will their coalition do next?
Should they retreat immediately and return to Dagukou to rendezvous with the fleet; or should they mobilize troops from Dalian, Yantai and other places to move forward with more troops?

After discussing in private for a while, the two quickly reached a consensus:
No retreat for now, but no attack either.

Reinforce the camp in place and wait for the old men to send more information. At the same time, they are waiting here for a group of reinforcements to be sent from Dagukou. They will wait until more troops are available before launching operations.

After all, the strength of the coalition forces in this war was 5000 for the Yin Army and 7000 for the French; when both sides were added together, the strength exceeded 2.

The 8000 people here in Baliqiao are definitely not their full strength.

And now, they have come to their senses.

Although the people of Xuange Camp are indeed powerful, they are not invincible; as long as they don't attack with their strange weapons and use artillery bombardment to suppress and clear the way, they can still tear apart their defense line...

******
Still at the same time, in the Yangxin Hall of the glorious Purple Jin City in Daqing Capital, it was still brightly lit at this early hour.

Emperor Xianfeng, some military ministers from the Military Aircraft Department, and some relatives of the emperor gathered here.

Everyone looked extremely solemn, and they were discussing a very crucial matter: tomorrow morning, whether Lord Xianfeng should take the queen and the concubine to Chengde Summer Resort for hunting.

Of course, the above description of hunting is just a euphemism.

Actually?Seng Gelinqin, who was originally so awesome that he would definitely defeat the Yinfa barbarians, suffered a huge defeat during the day.

The monk king, who was regarded as a pillar by the imperial court, was the first to run back with his cavalry.

After the First World War, most of the Green Battalion and Eight Banners soldiers under his command fled without a trace, leaving only a few remnants currently stationed at Deshengmen and Andingmen.

According to the report from the nine admirals, these soldiers and horses had long lost the spirit to continue fighting after suffering a huge defeat.

As for the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the imperial court, after being nourished by hard-core crops for more than 100 years, what kind of useless snacks they are now, everyone present knows clearly.

It is equivalent to a huge capital, and now it has no confidence to defend it under the front of the Yinfa coalition forces.

As the saying goes, the sky cannot live without sun and the country cannot live without a king. In order not to let Emperor Xianfeng fall, he fell into the hands of those Yinfa barbarians.

There was such a situation that Emperor Xianfeng went to Chengde Mountain Resort for hunting.

In fact, it is said that they left such a capital and 200 million people behind and fled for their lives.

All the above, in the original history, had been finalized a few hours ago; and then early the next morning, Emperor Xianfeng took the queen with him.

There is also Concubine Yi, the famous old witch who had to eat more than 100 dishes in a meal in the late Qing Dynasty and ran away.

The situation this time is a little different, all because when Jibuha and others escaped back, the legendary "Xuange Camp" appeared again.

And using weapons as powerful as thunder in the sky, he killed hundreds of cavalrymen from the Yinfa coalition in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, such a news spread like a plague in a very short period of time, reaching the point where everyone in the capital knew about it.So such a change gave the Daqing court a little more fantasy.

They were thinking about whether they could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but now they were a little undecided about whether to leave.

This situation changed about ten minutes later; when everyone in the Yangxin Hall was having a huge quarrel because of different opinions.

A royal guard wearing a yellow vest hurried in and knelt down, with an expression that seemed to give up.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Xianfeng, who had just drank a bowl of deer blood sent by Concubine Yi and felt better, said simply:
"Everyone present is Daqing and my close confidants. They can say anything they want."

Under such a statement, the imperial guard immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the brothers who just left the city to inquire about the news are back.

They talked about tonight's ugly hour, when the rebels in Xuange camp suddenly broke out on fast horses.

He easily broke out of the siege of the Yinfa barbarians, and then the cavalry who pursued them were defeated, and they are now missing. "

After hearing such a statement, everyone present suddenly had a look of despair on their faces.

Knowing that they were sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, hoping that after both sides suffered heavy losses, their idea of ​​taking advantage was completely shattered. It seemed that Emperor Xianfeng was really going to Chengde to hunt.

Only Wen Xiang, the military minister of the Manchu Guarjia clan.

Historically, one of the participants and leaders of the Daqing 'foreign Wu Movement' had some different ideas in mind.

After taking a step forward, he raised his hands to Emperor Xianfeng and said: "Your Majesty, I think this slave can order someone to contact these rebels in the 'Xuange Camp'.

If we can promise high-ranking officials and generous salaries, it would be best to let these rebellious people take refuge.

If you don't want to, should you put aside the grievances between the two parties first, work together to defeat these Yinfa barbarian coalition forces, and resolve the crisis in the capital? "

After hearing this sentence, Emperor Xianfeng immediately became furious.

He cursed in his mouth: "Wen Xiang, why are you so confused?

What will happen to Yinfa and other barbarians even if they break into the capital?It's nothing more than forcing us to agree to some conditions, pay some money, and cede some land.

I am a wealthy young man from all over the world. Although such compensation is a bit much, it is not unaffordable.

But these rebellious people in the 'Xuange Camp' are the real thorn in our side, so how can they be compared?
I don’t want to mention this matter again, I don’t want to hear this ridiculous talk anymore. "

After saying that, he faced the 27-year-old Daqing in front of him, the current Iron Hat King and Prince Gong, and later the famous Japanese soldier Liu Yixin.

He said, "Tomorrow morning I will go hunting in the west of Chengde as planned. Everything in the capital will be left to you."

Although Guiziliu was 1 unwilling to accept such an explanation.

But for the sake of his own life, he immediately and respectfully agreed.

Then, under the astonishing inertia of history, even after the Yin and France coalition forces were sharpened, the emperor of Daqing still ran away at this critical moment.

Only 10 minutes later at most, Concubine Yi, who was only 25 years old at the time, that old witch, got the relevant news.

I thought about leaving the comfortable Zijin City and starting an embarrassing escape.

Suddenly this woman's eyes looked towards the direction of Yangxin Hall, filled with unspeakable disdain.

Because she believes that regardless of the group of people there, they are the most noble and powerful group of people in Daqing, but in terms of knowledge, even this woman cannot compare with her.

If she could make the decision, she would definitely cooperate with the 'Xuange Camp' first.

She didn't understand any science, but she thought it couldn't be easier to grasp and play with people's hearts, especially those of young people.

As long as there is a chance to make contact, it is nothing more than fighting and pulling, and the 'Xuan Ge Camp' will always be able to not be a threat.

It's a pity that as a woman, she has no way to control all this...
