Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 941 Reinforcement?

The next day, morning.

That is, October 10th, less than four days before the early morning of the 14th when the first phase of the mission needs to be adhered to.

The Yinfa coalition forces, as they claimed, completely stopped attacking today.

About [-] infantrymen and [-] artillerymen were left behind, continuing to surround the main building as a defensive force to prevent Hu Biao and others from breaking out.

The remaining approximately [-] people were all given a day off.

So, for these robbers who had been holding back their nerves in the past few days, a carnival started immediately.

Because during the whole process, they were not worried at all that the Daqing court, whose troops had long been frightened out of their courage, would attack them.

These coalition soldiers were divided into several small teams and caused havoc in the surrounding villages.

It should be noted that after these bandits were dispatched separately, they not only molested and raped the silver woman, but also robbed gold and silver and other precious metals.

The chickens, ducks, cattle, and even some wild dogs kept in captivity by the common people were not spared.

At this point, we need to talk a little about the logistics department of the Yin and France coalition forces and some of the methods they took in terms of food supply and sources in this war.

First, some military rations carried by oneself.

In their fleet, there are many professional transport ships, which carry not only ammunition, tents, etc., but also a large amount of flour, oats, biscuits, potatoes, dried meat and other foods.

However, the taste of these foods that have been stored for a long time is really hard to describe.

Especially the beef jerky, which is said to be harder and better than the soles of shoes. When eating this stuff, it is simply a torture for the teeth and digestive system.

No one would eat these if they had a choice.

Second, they established a logistics base in Zhoushan from which cattle, sheep, vegetables, fruits, etc. were constantly transported.

However, after being transported to the place, the fruits and vegetables were all rotten, the cattle and sheep were so thin that they were skinny and bones, and the cost was too high.

Third, buying them on the spot from the people in Daqing, the combat area, is also the soldiers' favorite method.

After experiencing the initial distrust and confirming that these foreign devils were really willing to give money and at high prices, the Yin-French coalition troops who landed at Dagu Port even had a lively market near their camp.

A large number of people who have nothing to do with themselves carry various ingredients to sell.

Anyway, such a war has nothing to do with them.

It's just that after the coalition forces passed the Battle of Baliqiao and reached the Old Summer Palace, the two latter food sources were gone, leaving only the poorly stored military rations.

A group of Yinfa coalition soldiers were about to vomit.

Therefore, after noon, a large number of soldiers returned with some looted property, wine and meat; they cooked some hastily and started eating and drinking while talking and laughing loudly.

Hu Biao, who was hiding in the main building at the time and observing the outside through a telescope, could almost see that the morale of the coalition forces was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

That expression can be said to be quite ugly.

At first glance, it looks like a severe toothache.

However, the team members behind him knew that Hu Biao definitely did not have a toothache, but because of something else.

The most critical point is that even after a night and most of the day today, they not only treated and bandaged the wounds on their bodies properly.

After eating two hot meals, everyone slept for at least ten hours.

It was a good breath of relief and relieved some of the accumulated fatigue.

But now their remaining combatants total only 47 people, including 18 team members and 29 father-in-laws.

Not to mention the 47 people mentioned above, their injuries cannot be recovered in a short time.

Even if they can miraculously recover, how long can they withstand the attack launched again by the Yinfa Allied Forces, which has restored their morale and has more than [-] troops?

Anyway, no one in the team has the confidence to hold on for another day.

And just as Hu Biao was silently watching the movements of the Yin Fa coalition forces with a toothache expression on his face.

Suddenly, he felt a warm embrace coming from behind him; although the embrace was quickly released, Hu Biao could still feel the softness and beauty.

I looked back in surprise and found that it was Xiaomei who had made the move just now.

What's even more amazing is that at this moment, the God of Wealth no longer looks like a scumbag looking at Yan Xing like he did recently, but has an indescribable solemn look on his face.

With this solemn expression on his face, the God of Wealth said to Hu Biao:
  "Lao Hu, you don't have to think too much, it's just because my cousin is not here, I give you a hug on her behalf, hoping to comfort you in this way and cheer you up.

Because you are the commander of the team, everyone is counting on you.

So you must cheer up as soon as possible, lead everyone to complete this mission, return to the system space to receive rewards, and live happily in the modern plane.

Also, although I don’t know where my cousin was sent by the system this time.

But I know that despite her usual carefree temperament, as if she doesn't care about anything, she must always be worried about you.

As a man, you can't let her down; come on! Ganba dad~"

Such a sudden change of the God of Wealth directly made Hu Biao so incompetent that he, as well as the members of the team not far away, were dumbfounded.

Upon seeing this, the girl rolled her eyes and didn't know what she thought of.

After making some big waves on her head, she actually switched to the speechless scumbag mode again at the speed of a second.

After giving Hu Biao a wink, he said sweetly:

"Brother-in-law, it's okay. I hugged you just now because of special circumstances. Don't be addicted. How can a brother-in-law always think about letting my sister-in-law hold me?"

Under such circumstances, Hu Biao spoke helplessly:

"Let me explain, I have never worried about this mission.

You know, now almost two-thirds of the treasures in the Old Summer Palace have been transferred; even if the remaining one-third cannot be saved, it is still much better than the original result.

The key is that so far, we still have one tunnel that has not been discovered.

Therefore, when we couldn't bear it anymore, everyone slipped out of the Western Building through the tunnel; and then hid in the backup tunnel in another location for three days. Wouldn't the task be completed? "

Upon hearing this, the God of Wealth became a little anxious for a moment, and shouted:
  "Then, why do you look like you have toothache on your face?"

"For more than half a month, I ate steamed buns and pickles every day, which made me a little angry. I really had a toothache. But thanks to your hugs and encouragement, I don't feel that much pain anymore."

After hearing this, Hu Biao gave such an impeccable answer that made the God of Wealth laugh and cry.

Finally, annoyed in his heart, the God of Wealth stomped heavily on the ground, returning to the familiar appearance of the little girl before.

Upon seeing this, Hu Biao and the rest of the team burst into laughter.

In fact, after a while, they also saw that the scumbag behavior of the God of Wealth was just a vent and disguise of some emotions. In essence, this girl was quite good.

Soon after, even the God of Wealth couldn't help herself and started laughing loudly.

The laughter spread far away, immediately making the originally quite solemn atmosphere in the main building become more relaxed.

It's just that among some of the teams, including Lao Yang, who were relatively thoughtful, they still saw a look of disappointment in the smiling faces of their commanders who threw themselves into the street.

Such a loss is certainly not because the sister-in-law has not hugged her enough and wants to continue.

But for so many treasures in the Old Summer Palace, not all of them could be moved away.

There is still a third of the quantity, which will eventually fall into the hands of bandits like the Yinfa Alliance Army, and I feel a strong unwillingness in my heart.

But in order not to ruin everyone's mood, this guy pretended to be cheerful. But even if Yang Dongli and others see this, what can they do? Nothing can be done.

Because they really can't imagine where they can find a supporting force under the current situation so that they can continue to defend this place.

Even the number of such a supporting army does not actually need to be too large; with more than a hundred people joining, it is enough for them to hold on for the remaining three days...

*******
  When Hu Biao and the others were in the Old Summer Palace, they were enjoying themselves a little bit.

What they didn't know was that no one in the capital cared about them, and there were even people who were already planning to do something for them.

It's just that I can't do it because of my status.

Or maybe it’s because your own strength is too small and you don’t know what to do for a while.

For example: at the same time, in the palace of Prince Gong in the capital, Aixinjueluo Yi, the famous Guizi Liu in later generations, stood silently in the garden, looking in the direction of the Old Summer Palace in a daze.

And he has been in such a daze for a long time not only today.

Only some people close to him know that this prince is currently staying in the capital and is fully responsible for everything. Ever since he found out that Xuan Geying was staying in the Old Summer Palace, he has actually been doing this for a long time every day.

It's nothing more than today, when the gunfire that can still be heard faintly from time to time in the Old Summer Palace has completely subsided; the king of the big blue iron hat of his family can maintain such a dazed movement for a particularly long time.

So why does Guiziliu often look at the Old Summer Palace?
  Of course, I hope to see the scene of the battle between the Xuange camp and the Yinfa barbarians in the Old Summer Palace.

I want to understand something from this: why Daqing's tens of thousands of troops, including more than ten thousand elite cavalry, were easily defeated.

On the contrary, there were only a dozen rebels, with some eunuchs and palace maids, but they were able to fight against the Yinfa coalition for such a long time? What is the secret in this?

While in a daze, what was Guiziliu thinking about?

Of course, he was thinking about whether he should join forces with the people from Xuange camp, and both sides agreed to fight back the Yinfa barbarians first.

Even if he actually knew quite well in his heart, this was simply impossible.

As Emperor Xianfeng once said:

No matter how ferocious the Yinfa and other barbarians are, they just want some money, land, various privileges, etc. After simply giving them all, this beautiful country is still theirs.

On the contrary, these rebels want to take away their empire and dig out their roots.

It's just that although Guiziliu understands the above truth, he still does it; he even told Gong Xiaogong that when Xuange camp was destroyed, he would sign the agreement.

But as long as I think about the majestic Celestial Dynasty, it will be so humiliated by some barbarians.

Even 'Gong Xiaogong', a traitor whose family has been favored by the emperor for generations, now dares to be complacent in front of him with the help of the barbarian momentum.

There was always a fire in his heart, and he was indescribably upset.

Finally, after sitting in the garden for two hours, Guiziliu finally adjusted his mood.

I plan to summon some other important officials from the imperial court who were left behind to discuss how to compromise and send away the Yinfa barbarians first after the Xuange camp is completely destroyed.

But in my heart, there is an extra understanding:
  Relying on Da Qing's ancestral methods and the Eight Banners' riding and shooting skills, I am afraid there is no way to cope with this kind of change that has not happened in three thousand years.

If Daqing wants to become stronger, I'm afraid it will have to reuse those Han ministers who have had their heads shaved, and carry out this kind of foreign thing that they have been advocating for more than ten years.

At the same time, more than a hundred miles away in Langfang.

Seng Gelinqin, who looked like a big blue pillar, fell asleep after a wine bag slipped from his right hand.

However, after he fell asleep while drunk, the famous monk king still frowned tightly, but clutched a copy of "The Rise of the Great Powers: The Great Yin Chapter" in his left hand.

All because of the battle at Baliqiao, all his arrogance was shattered.

After retreating here, he wanted to figure out like crazy, what was the reason for all this? Until his staff gave him such a forbidden book, and after reading it, he vaguely understood something in his heart.

But even if he understood, he couldn't do anything.

Feeling irritated, he could only vent his depression by getting drunk.

And even his own coach is like this, so the remaining soldiers under his command are naturally even more miserable.

In this way, without Hu Biao and the others knowing anything about it, the largest military force in the capital area, except the Yinfa Allied Forces, was completely out of reach of them.

Fortunately, they never had any expectations or illusions about this...

Still at the same time, there was a place called Xiejiazhuang about ten miles north of the Old Summer Palace.

When a white lieutenant, with more than a hundred Sikh soldiers, approached in a chaotic formation with great expectations of plundering this village with a stone wall, which seemed to be relatively wealthy.

Suddenly, at least thirty or forty rounds of shotguns and more bows and arrows came over.

Caught off guard, seven or eight of them were killed and injured.

Just looking at the stone wall, the huge sense of defeat in the attack on the Western Building a few days ago came to the lieutenant's heart.

He couldn't help shouting:
  "Retreat, retreat immediately, go back to the summer palace in Daqing and bring in some cannons to blast open such a turtle shell; we can't defeat the legendary Xuange Camp, nor can we defeat these Daqing people~"

Then, looking at these foreign devils retreating in embarrassment, the village immediately burst into cheers behind the stone wall; the look in the eyes of a middle-aged man was full of indescribable admiration.

The reason for this is because the middle-aged man is called Feng Sanbao.

Originally from Shandong Province, his family moved to Xiejiazhuang due to natural disasters and settled down there.

Ever since he heard that the Yinfa foreign devils had landed at Dagu Port and were fighting all the way to the capital, he knew that the world was not peaceful, so he formed a regiment in Xiejiazhuang, where almost all the hunters were hunters, to protect themselves.

Sure enough, the foreign devils were looting everywhere today.

If they hadn't been prepared early and gathered a group of villagers to suddenly take action, Xiejiazhuang would have been like other Zhuangzi, and they were now in serious trouble.

In the warm atmosphere, only a nineteen-year-old girl still had a look of worry on her face.

After hesitating for a moment, she said to Feng Sanbao: "Dad, I heard that the cannons in the hands of the foreign devils are more powerful than those in Daqing.

If they bring the cannon, our Zhuangzi will probably be blown to pieces by them, and we will not be able to withstand it at all. "

The girl who was speaking was called Feng Wanzhen. She was Feng Sanbao's only daughter. She was extremely smart since she was a child and had also developed good kung fu.

After hearing this, Feng Sanbao was immediately shocked and muttered: "What should we do~"

Compared with her father's panic, Feng Wanzhen was more organized and said seriously:
  "On normal days, although these foreign devils have powerful guns and artillery, they are not good at close combat. As long as we lay in ambush and suddenly come out to fight with them in close combat, we can still catch them off guard and drive them away.

However, there are too many of them, and even if they can win once or twice, they will eventually be exhausted after more than one fight.

Fortunately, in the Old Summer Palace, the heroic grandfathers of Xuange Camp are now fighting these foreign devils. Why not help them and defeat these foreign devils directly.

As for the other people in Zhuangzi, they can hide in Yanshan with their belongings and come out later. "

It's a pity that when Feng Sanbao heard such a statement, his expression immediately changed, and he said in an unreasonable manner: "No, this is absolutely impossible.

First, there are only about a hundred people in the village who know Kung Fu. It would be too risky to ambush and fight in close combat.

Secondly, the people from Xuange camp were rebellious to the imperial court. After having collusion with them, if the imperial court pursued them afterwards, it would probably be a big disaster.

But hiding in Yanshan is feasible. Go back and help your mother pack things so that everyone can leave as soon as possible. "

Facing her father's serious face, Feng Wanzhen simply agreed.

But he made up his mind: since the uncles of the older generation are unwilling to go, then he will go privately with his friends of similar age in the village.

It's just that you don't say anything when you do it, and just cover your face.

Foreign devils also have one head and two hands and feet, so there is nothing to be afraid of...
