Fu Qing originally thought that his shouting could shake the enemy's military morale, but he never expected that it would have the opposite effect, and these people would become even crazier!
Surrendering is also death, and fighting hard is also death. Since there is no choice but death, then why don't I kill a few more to make up for it before I die?
What a simple slogan. With just this sentence, the smell of blood in front of the palace became even stronger!
Those Xishan soldiers whose chests were pierced lay on the ground, hugging the legs of the new Yulin Army, and opened their mouths to bite them to death!
The blood-stained bayonet stabbed into his stomach. He grabbed the blade with both hands and snatched it back and forth, as if he had lost all sense of pain!
The living Xishan Camp suddenly exploded with all the potential in its body, and the battle formation suddenly rushed forward. Xie Ting and the others were pushed back two or three steps!
"Damn it! I didn't give in when I bombarded the Japanese navy at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Now let these people suppress me and beat me?"
"Reserve team, go all-in... If you want to die, the officers will die first! The officers go first!"
Xie Ting and his junior officers pressed forward. They carried sabers or engineer shovels to fight back, rushed to the front line gap, swung their weapons and smashed their heads and faces!
The officials were desperate for their lives, how could the soldiers below be afraid of death? The Yulin New Army showed the perseverance of the people of Wuyi Mountain and blocked the crazy attack from the opposite side like a stubborn rock!
Fu Qing's face turned livid with anger, "Damn it! Where is that damn rat outside the pass? Hunchun recommended you, saying you are an elite, but now why can't you even break through the back garden?"
"Report...report to your lord...Kaizi Ma has raided Xiangfeng Hutong behind Prince Gong's Mansion. They are already fighting at the back door. Officer Xiuer led a group of troops to climb over the wall!"
"Ahaha... Okay! Give him a credit! Oratu, the back garden has been breached by me, what else are you trying to resist? Are you ignoring your butt?"
At the critical moment, the strategic mobility of the cavalry and the powerful individual combat effectiveness of the Savage Army changed the situation. A corner of the back garden was breached, triggering collective cheers from all the new imperial troops at the Grand Palace Gate.
"Surrender... The back garden has been occupied... The nest has been taken away... Surrender..."
All the soldiers pulled their necks and shouted. Oratu and the others suddenly turned as pale as blood, and the little advantage they had just appeared suddenly disappeared!
The princess and Xi Fujin are all in the back garden. All the female relatives of the palace are inside. There are more than 2,000 people in Prince Gong's palace, and there are more than 600 female relatives alone. They are all the prince's forbidden wives. What if something went wrong? , but what happened!
The morale of the army was weakened, and Oratu was in a dilemma and had no choice but to order a retreat, "Return to guard against the Second Palace Gate...withdraw..."
There were only 70 people left in the two companies of commandos who had retreated at this moment. The purpose of Eratu's counterattack was to delay time and prevent the engineers from breaking through the high wall of the palace. From this point of view, his strategy was successful.
Fu Qing watched these people return to the palace gate. Although he had the upper hand, he was not excited at all. Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart! "I just made it clear that Deshengmen and Xizhimen were not opened. The purpose was to destroy their morale. How could it be counterproductive?"
"Not only did they not retreat, but they even thought of committing suicide? Could it be said that this group of people did not rebel? Otherwise, how could there be a feeling of despair and death after being wronged?"
"Weird, this is really weird tonight..."
The confusion in Peng Yulin's heart was also reflected in Fu Qing, and both of them smelled a conspiracy!
Just when Fu Qing was stunned, Xie Ting came to him and reported, "Sir, the Dagong Gate has been breached... The enemy is trapped at the Second Palace Gate. Please allow me to lead a company of death squads to attack through the West Second Palace Gate!" "
Fu Qing looked at the blood dripping from Xie Ting's left arm and asked, "Are you injured? Is it important?"
"It's okay. I was pierced by a bayonet. No bones were injured. Just bandage it..."
Fu Qing nodded, "Wait a little longer. I have sent people to mobilize troops before. The Prime Minister's Office has more than ten warehouses near Beihai Charcoal Warehouse. A batch of good guys I imported before are placed in them!"
"Reinforcements will arrive soon. Then you can lead others to outflank..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of intensive horse hooves coming from the direction of Jiangan Alley in the south. Soon, more than 40 cavalrymen, each with two wooden boxes tied to their backs, moved forward to support them.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have urgently dispatched 60 shotguns and 800 rounds of ammunition..."
"Okay! Okay... Xie Ting, I'll give you these weapons to attack. You and your people will immediately attack the back garden and control Prince Gong and Da Fujin as quickly as possible. As long as they control the leader, they can only Surrender!"
Shotguns, the first standard weapon equipped by the Chinese army, have been upgraded to three generations. In the past, home-made shotguns required soldiers to weigh iron sand and shotguns themselves.
Nowadays, shotguns have become fixed-loading ammunition. The thick ammunition is as thick as a big candle. It is easy to load and fire, and it is just a piece of iron sand!
This weapon is powerful and easy to operate, making it an absolute weapon for street fighting. If we want to talk about its shortcomings... there is only one, and that is that it is expensive! Xiao Letian's arms business is so profitable. What he sells is monopoly goods. Each fixed-load ammunition costs one silver dollar, which is really a murderous price!
But don’t be too expensive. Only the Chinese in the world use shotguns as standard weapons. If you want to buy reliable ones, you can only buy them from the Chinese. Although the sales volume is not large, it is better than a short one!
Xie Ting, who was hanging his arms from Bai Shabu, quickly led a company of commandos to start a detour from the west side of the palace. Sixty shotguns immediately changed the situation of the battle. The Xishan Battalion, suppressed by firepower, could not even lift its head!
Xie Ting did not want to fight with Oratu and the others, and started attacking from the West Second Mansion Gate, Baoguang Room, Tianxiang Courtyard, Xijinzhai, Raoshuifa Building, and went straight to the Western Gate of Cuijin Garden!
Eratu is the highest military officer in Prince Gong's palace at the moment, but his Xishan battalion that can fight only has 600 people. Counting other guards and eunuchs, the total number is just over a thousand!
Facing the enemy attacks from all directions, he was helpless. Standing in front of the Yin'an Palace, Oratu looked around in despair. From south to north, from east to west, there were shouts of killing. The entire palace was completely fried!
"Sir... the Second Palace Gate has been lost!"
"Sir... the Bat Hall has been lost, and the enemy is attacking the invitation platform!"
"Sir... the enemy has bypassed the Shuifa Building on the west side and has reached the Western Gate!"
"What should we do? Sir, please come up with an idea. Fu Qing has already entered the palace..."
What ideas could Orato have? Prince Gong was no longer in the palace tonight, not even Cheng Beile. He was the only one struggling to support the current situation.
"Where are Fujin and the others?" Oratu asked sadly.
"The female relatives have gathered in the area around Huxin Pavilion and Ling Daojing. The West Palace Gate is still under our control. Sir, let's protect Fujin and escape!"
"Escape? What can you do if you escape from the palace? This capital does not belong to Emperor Tongzhi yet? He will also be slaughtered by then!"
"Gather all the brothers together, let's go to the Huxin Pavilion and hold our ground! If the prince is not around, we have to listen to Fujin!"
