Tai Suzuki, who was defending Chessboard Street, did encounter an attack by a large group of Qing troops, but the situation was far less critical than imagined. The soldiers under these old military systems had no experience in dealing with emergencies.
When the shouts of death and the smoke came, these soldiers were stunned for four or five minutes. At that moment, they didn't even know whether they should send troops!
"What's going on? Where's the fighting? The enemy has entered the city?"
"You fart, where did the enemy army come from? Did it fall from the sky? The enemy army came to the outer city without even making a fart sound?"
"That's right! Even if the enemy comes, we have to attack the outer city first! How come chaos breaks out from inside for no reason!"
"Don't tell me, it must be a small group of gangsters who disguised themselves as ordinary people and sneaked in!"
"Rogue bandits? Why are the rogue bandits attacking Dongjiaomin Alley? Are there any rogue bandits who dare to steal money from foreign devils? If you ask me, it must be the Tianli Sect who is causing trouble again!"
"Damn you, when did you mention something about the Jiaqing period? The Tianli Sect has long since disappeared..."
Suddenly someone said in astonishment, "Don't make trouble in the palace, right? Things are going wrong in Xin Younian... Maybe there are Xishan soldiers outside!"
"Perhaps they are Long Live Lord's new army in the forest...these two gods are fighting each other, and we can't afford to offend them!"
Even if you can't afford to offend, you have to offend. This is the core of the Four-Nine City and the center of the empire. No matter how you mess with these soldiers stationed there, you cannot escape the blame!
The defenders of Zhengyangmen and Daqingmen were forced to attack the archway entrance of Dongjiaomin Lane from the north and south together!
There was a glow of torches in the night. When they approached the entrance of the alley forty or fifty meters, they discovered that the rooms that were usually clearly visible were now shrouded in thick fog.
Although this thick fog did not cover the entire Qipan Street, everyone also smelled a special pungent smell, and some soldiers who were prone to allergies sneezed several times in succession.
"What the hell is this... a big cloud of smelly fog?"
"Look...there's something on the ground..."
People took a closer look and were shocked. There were actually people or ghosts crawling out from the edge of the fog!
"Help...Help...Toohospital...Toohospital...missed it!"
"Oh...it's not a ghost, it's a human...get it here quickly!"
"Hurry up... go in... inside the fog... there are Xiao Letian's soldiers inside..."
ah! The 500 and 600 Qing soldiers were so frightened that they were all sweating. Nowadays, the Qing Dynasty in this world are firstly afraid of the foreign devils, and secondly, they are afraid of Xiao Letian. Both of these two families are ruthless people who have conquered the Forty-Nine City!
No one expected that Xiao Letian would send troops today!
"I know! Xiao Letian sent someone to save that doctor...a doctor who can perform brain surgery!"
"Isn't he just detained in Tai Hospital? This is Xiao Letian getting angry!"
"What to do? Fight or not?" the soldiers asked.
"Nonsense, can we not fight? Where is this place? It is the gathering place of the six departments. If we don't fight, we will all lose our heads tomorrow!"
"Brothers! If we receive the salary from the imperial court, we have to work hard for the imperial court! There will definitely not be many enemies. There are many of us...kill them!"
kill! Six to seven hundred people from Qipan Street rushed towards Dongjiaomin Alley like a sea wave, but they knew how powerful the smoke was.
As soon as the vanguard troops rushed in, there was a violent cough!
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough... what is this... poisonous... this is the miasma... the... miasma when Zhuge Liang defeated Meng Huo..."
"I can't stand it anymore...withdraw...I can't...cough cough cough..."
In a panic, the Suzuki Taiping shotguns that had been lurking for a long time, and the surrounding soldiers picked up more than a dozen shotguns and aimed them at the area at the entrance of the alley without having to take aim!
"Shoot!" After an order, there was a dull blast at the intersection!
The iron sand rushed over like a burst of dark clouds, and the Qing army's vanguard was pressed alive inside, with screams everywhere!
People who are concentrated by shotguns are actually worse off, because this kind of weapon is difficult to kill, but it can make people crippled!
The soldier covered his eyes and face, and both eye sockets were smashed by iron sand! You have been hit by more than ten bullets in the chest, but such powerful projectiles will not penetrate your body, they will only break the bones and embed them in your internal organs.
There were wounded soldiers rolling and coughing everywhere, and their desperate shouts were like hell!
"Hand-blade assault... clear the battlefield!" Tai Suzuki drew out the sword from his waist and rushed out of Dongjiaomin Alley with a platoon of brothers!
On Qipan Street, those Qing soldiers who did not rush into the fog were killed. The tragic scene in front of them shocked their footsteps, and no one dared to rush in.
They saw only the edge of the poison, and it seemed that there were many evil spirits fighting. Pairs of demons with pig mouths killed the injured Qing soldiers one by one!
Ghosts would disappear and appear, and sometimes they would rush out of the fog and wave their middle fingers arrogantly at them. However, these Qing soldiers were so frightened that they even forgot that they still had part of the musket in their hands!
"Damn it! Xiao Letian's people are killing our brothers... Why are you still standing there? Shoot! Are they all fools? Why don't you shoot..."
It's such a big joke. Although the Qing Empire has recognized the power of firearms, rifles have also been widely popularized in troops across the country.
However, the battalions stationed in the Imperial City in the capital still stubbornly use cold weapons. They even think this is a very glorious tradition.
The defenders at Daqing Gate and Zhengyang Gate also had rifles, but the proportion was not high. There was only one rifle for five people! Moreover, the gun format is very confusing. Most of them are old-fashioned smoothbore guns and muskets.
With backward equipment, insufficient training, and a lack of experience in night fighting and temporary response, these soldiers only used the most primitive cold weapons in their initial attack.
A group of fools actually rushed in with archers and swords behind them. Didn't they wait for death?
The tragic death of the vanguard sounded the alarm for them. The soldiers behind finally understood the power of long-range weapons. Soon seventy or eighty musketeers began to gather to form a small shooting array!
The evil ghosts at the edge of the smoke were still hacking and killing the Qing soldiers. The angry defenders immediately ordered, "Open fire! Kill these bastards! Bullies don't bully like this!"
Forty meters outside the fog, bang bang bang... bang bang bang... a mess of firearms spit out flames, and the round lead bullets and iron sand rushed towards them.
People saw several special operations soldiers trembling and falling to the ground at the edge of the smoke. When they saw that some of them had been shot, these soldiers screamed in excitement!
"Hahaha... I shot the two Japs! I hit Xiao Letian's soldiers! I rushed in to catch the alive ones... This is all credit! Don't let go of the dead bodies either..."
These dozens of musketeers were so determined that they rushed in first without waiting for the support of shields and spears from behind!
The Qing Dynasty was often bullied by the Chinese. If a few of Xiao Letian's soldiers were killed, the court would laugh to death! The rewards will definitely be high by then!
"Grab the credit! Stealing a corpse is a great achievement..."
