"Protect the general...stop these rebels..." The last 1,800 foreign troops who escaped from the explosion gathered together and delayed Zaitu's attack with their lives.
After emptying the last bullet, throwing away the last grenade, and even the bayonet and machete have curled blades, then use the engineer shovel or even lift the stone to hit the enemy.
The hearts of the ancients were simple, and they knew what it means to repay a favor, especially the wild Jurchens in the deep mountains and old forests from the White Mountains and Black Waters, who were not so frivolous.
As a warrior who has not been brainwashed by the world of money, you usually look a bit awkward, have a stupid mind, are not very good at turning corners, and start fighting without being dealt with after a few words, which is quite barbaric!
But this kind of person has more advantages, that is, loyalty. Whoever treats him better and leads him to live a good life will really stick with you to the end!
These foreign troops were all approved by Zaichun's decree, allowing Hunchun to re-select those poor wild Jurchens who had no roots and no family power, and some were not Manchus but Kazakhs and other border people!
They were brought from the old forests of Baishan and Heishui to the big city of Shengjing, where they ate popular food and drank spicy food. They just trained a lot of strength on weekdays. The contrast of a prosperous life made them extremely grateful!
Hunchun is in danger. These people are not the first to think of escaping. Instead, they risk their lives to protect their benefactor and escape!
No one is a coward, every single soldier outside the Guan Dynasty is fearless and fearless. They throw explosive packets forward despite the hail of bullets, and fight at close range even if they are one against ten, delaying the time to carry out the rebels. !
The troops of the Xishan Battalion are composed of low-level officials among the Eight Banners disciples in Guan, and then a large number of simple farmers from Shanxi, Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other northern areas are recruited as soldiers!
Such soldiers are more able to accept modern rifle array shooting and various tactical drills, but if they encounter barbarian confrontation, their momentum will really fall short by three points!
The Guanwai Army actually shocked the 5th Division by attacking more with less. Zai Fu was furious and said, "Fuck! We can't win this. If we delay it any longer, Hunchun will run away..."
"Personal guards...come with me...there are only 1,800 people. If I can't eat, I will be the first to die!"
"Kill...protect the crown prince! Damn it, if this battle ends with diarrhea, let alone the title of marquis or prime minister, none of us are worthy of carrying the crown prince's shoes!"
"Enter the Short Gun Team! Why don't you wait desperately at this time..."
Rifles were precious in the Qing Dynasty army, and the most precious was the revolver. These were close-combat weapons that could only be equipped by officers and guards. They would not take action easily until the critical moment!
Facing these brave foreign troops, the short-gun team around Zai Tu was dispatched. They held knives in one hand and revolvers in the other, and killed the rebels who looked like war bears.
Bang bang bang... a random shot at close range, the gun is held to the head, the waist knife in the hand is just used to parry, to be cool, it is better to close up and shoot directly to the vital point!
Those who can be selected into the short gun team are all future military officers, or soldiers at the bodyguard level. Their skills are always good, and their overall quality is higher than that of ordinary soldiers.
This group of people engaged in close combat, rushing wherever the most dangerous and anxious places were. From a distance of several meters, these people's marksmanship was extremely good.
If I say I'll hit you in the left eye, I won't hit you in the right eye. If I hit you in the left temple, the bullet will come out of the right temple. If I hit you, it won't be a problem!
You can't miss a target as big as a heart. This group of short-gun teams comes on the scene and the situation of the battle is immediately turned around!
The surviving Guanwai Army were surrounded and peeled off layer by layer, and corpses covered the road covering the general's retreat. More than half an hour later, the last few dead soldiers of the Guanwai Army fired the explosive packs, and a carload of people outside the Guanwai Except for the personal guards around Hunchun, more than two thousand people were wiped out!
"Chasing...keep chasing...bring enough explosives...the next train is coming soon, we can't let Hunchun contact the next batch of Guanwai troops..."
Zai Tu led the lineage of Killing Red Eyes and chased from northwest to southeast, while the cavalry from the south was coming to block the attack from the north, pressing down on Hunchun like two millstones who were panicking.
There is no light at all in the middle of the night, and Hunchun does not dare to stray too far from the train line. This is an area where rebels, imperial troops, and Chinese troops are intertwined. Who knows what kind of rebels you will encounter?
Moreover, the geography here is very unfamiliar and there is no guide. Once you leave the railway, you will probably get lost immediately!
"General... how about we leave the railway and escape, heading east. We will definitely come into contact with the Chinese industrial zone along the way. Then the rebels will not dare to do anything!"
"Fart! What are you doing here? I'm here to rescue the capital. I haven't seen the walls of the Forty-Nine City yet. Should I escape first?"
"Open the Huozhezi and let me see the time..."
Then Huo Zhezi looked dimly at Guangliang's pocket watch, and Hunchun said, "The next train will arrive in twenty minutes at most. Join the brothers behind. Let's fight and retreat..."
"As long as I gather three or four brothers, there are seven or eight thousand people, and I can crucify them here!"
"At dawn tomorrow, our brothers will all arrive! Then I will light up the sky lanterns for them one by one!"
While they were discussing, they heard shouts of death coming from behind the railway tracks, and in the distance were the lights of beating torches!
"Fuck...then retreat, retreat along the railway line..."
The escape was bumpy and bumpy, but fortunately the adjutants and guards around me were loyal and supported each other. Otherwise, they would not have been able to survive the 20 minutes until the next train arrived.
Wuwuwu... These twenty minutes passed like twenty years. When they saw the car lights in the distance and heard the train whistle, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Send a signal...for them to make an emergency stop!"
The train runs at night, and there are patrol workers. In the bloody battle just now, many patrol workers ran away in fear, and there was no one on duty in the small watchtower that was originally occupied by one person!
Hunchun and the others kicked open the door of the watchtower, turned on the red emergency braking light, and hung it high on the wooden pole beside the railway!
The train driver saw "Emergency brake! There is a situation ahead..."
"What's the situation? You're not allowed to park. There are sounds of fighting ahead. It's very likely that the general has been ambushed... We have to go to the rescue!"
In the carriage, the train conductor and the officers of the Guanwai Army quarreled. One wanted to stop, but the other refused to let go, until the last burst of fireworks erupted, which frightened the officers.
Chinese-made flares have formed a complex series, available in various colors and patterns, and a few flares can be combined into thousands of possible arrangements.
This also formed various simple communication signals for the army during night battles!
"Ah! It's the general's fireworks signal... Why is it being sent out here? Stop the car... Stop the car immediately..."
Rumble...sizzle...
The train with huge inertia began to decelerate and brake suddenly, and more than two thousand foreign troops in the carriage were hit to pieces!
Before the train could stop, soldiers jumped out, "General... our soldiers from Heizi Battalion and Liaozi Battalion... the emergency command is... Tianchi!"
"The password is correct and the number is correct...he is one of ours!"
Hunchun was relieved, and then walked out of the bushes and caught up. "The whole army will get off the train immediately and defend on the spot...the rebels have caught up!"
"The brothers from before have been completely wiped out at this moment..."
