Fu Qing refused to retreat, forcing the special forces to carry out the orders of the eldest lady. Fu Hui was a biological sister, and this relationship was well known to everyone in the Qing Dynasty.
It is a bit illegal for Fu Hui to give such a private order, but after all, the Chinese military still has to give face!
Therefore, no one said that the harem should not be involved in politics. My sister's request to save her brother's life was more like a plea than an order!
When the generals present in the imperial court heard that Madam Fuhui had spoken, they said to themselves that we don't care about your own family affairs, but they actually allowed the Chinese special forces to capture Fuqing, hold Fuqing by the arm, and retreat northward.
But Fu Qing was furious at this moment. He was in a high-spirited state. He was struggling so hard that he refused to retreat, forcing everyone to take out the rope and tie him up.
At this moment, Fu Qing had his arms cut behind his back and his head was lowered towards the north. Just as he was struggling and cursing, suddenly a strange scene in the north caught his attention.
"Look to the north...leave me alone, look to the north...fuck, it's coming, it's coming..."
Fu Qing was so excited that he couldn't even speak clearly. Everyone looked to the north in shock, but what was there?
People looked at it with wide eyes. Apart from the farmland destroyed by the war, what else was there in the north? The railway was empty. The train had left. There were many empty supply boxes and temporary camps for wounded soldiers scattered on both sides.
The seriously injured people were relying on the only group of carriages to retreat northward. The land was desolate and lifeless!
"Holy shit...look up! Look at the sky...look at the sky!"
Buzz buzz... buzz... At this time, people suddenly heard a strange buzz coming from the distance. People with sharp eyes suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "Where are there three black spots... Damn, is that it?"
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. People stared dumbfoundedly at the black dot getting closer and closer in the sky, and then suddenly burst into excited roars!
"Airship! The court's airship... Zeppelin! Reinforcements are coming..."
That's right, it was Emperor Tongzhi's trump card. Through Cai Bixia, the Zeppelins purchased by the Qing Dynasty were all mobilized. Three of them had just been installed at the moment.
The first one was the airship that had made great achievements in the Western Regions, crossing the Tianshan Mountains to support Ili. After this battle, the court changed its name to the Tianshan Dragon, which was already the flagship of the Qing Dynasty's airship force!
The other two ships have not participated in actual combat, but they have also strengthened their firepower based on the opinions of many parties!
In fact, there are pros and cons between airships and airplanes. Airships are slow but have a large carrying capacity, while airplanes are fast but have a low carrying capacity.
In this era, there are no weapons to restrain air units, so although the airship is slow, its survivability will not be weak, so it is necessary to take advantage of its load capacity.
Nowadays, the airships of the Qing Dynasty are equipped with two steel-connected shooting platforms on each side. Four Gatlings can freely rotate to shoot at ground targets!
The armor of the airship pod has also been thickened, making it impossible for ordinary rifles to penetrate it, and can even resist bullets from heavy machine guns and fragmentation attacks from ordinary artillery shells.
There is a sufficient supply of ammunition in the pod, and it can even be used as a cargo airship!
This is the trump card in the hands of Emperor Tongzhi, and he will never use it easily unless absolutely necessary! As for today's flagship Tianshan Dragon, there was a middle-aged man standing at the bow of the ship. He looked at the situation on the battlefield with a worried expression.
Li Tuo! This was a slippery official who was forced to come out by Fu Qing, but talents cannot be hidden. Tonight, Li Tuo showed his talents as a staff member when he entered the battlefield for the first time!
In the middle of the night, when Li Tuo heard that the enemy was constantly harassing him ahead, his heart was in his throat, wondering how the situation was going to be unfavorable.
Moreover, after many years of hiding and observing in military aircraft, he knew that Prince Gong was definitely not an easy person to deal with. It would be absolutely impossible to launch such a rebellion without a back-up plan!
Yi Pei could not be Yi Xin's opponent. If he were, he would not have let Emperor Daoguang adopt him. In fact, it would deprive him of the right to inherit Dabao.
The level of talent is different! Although Fu Qing has excellent talents, it is very difficult to face Guiziliu. In addition, he arrived at the front line in a hurry, does not understand everything, and cannot play a big role!
Li Tuo's inner uneasiness and anxiety reached its peak. He couldn't sit still and actually went into the city to visit Er Mao secretly. At this moment, only through his relationship could the people in the capital see the Long Live Lord!
After midnight, Li Tuo secretly entered the Forbidden City and met Emperor Tongzhi in the Gate of Supreme Harmony. They had a secret conversation for nearly half an hour. It is not known how Li Tuo impressed the young emperor.
Late at night, Li Tuo went to the Xiyuan hangar with the little emperor's secret order, and the Qing Dynasty's three Zeppelin airships began to prepare for war late at night!
Refueling, transporting ammunition, burning hot air... all kinds of preparations lasted for several hours. It was only after Li Tuo's constant urging and Er Mao personally holding down the battle that they took off and headed straight to the south!
Looking down at the Zhili Plain from a high altitude along the way, you can more clearly see the destructive power of the war. All the villages along the way to the south have no light at all, and there is no light from the oil lamps. It is very likely that these villages have been abandoned.
Where the raiding war broke out, there are still many residual flames emitting a trace of light, and there is still a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
The situation became more dangerous the further south they went. Near the Zhuozhou camp, the airship even saw groups of rebels infiltrating one after another.
Li Tuo said to Er Mao, who was supervising the army, "Jai Zi Liu has begun to send vanguards to seize the retreat of the army. They want to catch them all in one fell swoop! Something big must have happened in the Zhuozhou camp!"
Er Mao's face was livid, maybe he was a little dizzy, and after looking at it for a while, his eyes closed: "Can it be faster? We have to rescue the prince and Master Fu Qing no matter what!"
The captain of the airship heard this and immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, sir! The combat effectiveness of the airship is higher than you think! The three ships are dispatched together today to let the rebels know what a dimensionality reduction strike is!"
"The machine gunner is in position...the ammunition is ready...the front is approaching the battlefield and is ready to enter the battle..."
The dawn light illuminated the earth. At this moment, the airship could see everything on the earth more clearly. The retreating train roared towards the north, spewing white smoke all the way.
Kaizima's elite team is fighting with the rebel infiltration vanguard, and both sides are fighting for the army's retreat!
At 7:30 in the morning, Li Tuo saw Fu Qing's flag in his telescope. "Found the handsome flag! Found Fu Shuai's flag...ah? Why is there no prince's handsome flag?"
"It's broken...Did something happen to the prince?"
The situation on the battlefield has come into view. Fuqing's lone army is defending the New Army that is rescuing the retreating New Army. There are countless cut to pieces of the New Army that are being slaughtered on the battlefield.
And the rebel army actually had artillery! Every time a cannon fires, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rises into the sky. It is extremely clear to see from the air!
"Fuck! Our army has emergency rescue... lower the altitude and prepare to shoot... the first target enemy artillery position!"
"Smash these sons of bitches!"
The three Zeppelin airships lowered their altitude and actually reached an altitude of about 20 meters. From this position, Li Tuo could see the expressions of people on the ground!
Three dark clouds came down, and the rebels made a horrifying noise, "What is this? Mother... what is this? Heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!"
