Did the British help the Qing Dynasty quell the chaos? The new soldiers guarding the archway on East Chang'an Street were dumbfounded. They never expected that the British, who had been watching the excitement, would rush out of the embassy and shoot at the thugs.
"Look...there are cannons...these British have launched two cannons to blast these rebels! The sun is really shining in the west!"
Hula la, more than a hundred British soldiers pushed the cannon and stopped on East Chang'an Street. They fired at the thugs not far away. However, this shot was really embarrassing. Even the Qing Dynasty was so sparse. The soldiers can't stand it anymore.
"Are these elites too? Is this the kind of fighting power that the British relied on to conquer the world?"
The new Yulin army was ordered to protect the roots of the imperial city. They could not attack without new orders. Even if thugs had just blown up a section of the city wall, it should still be the task of the cavalry in the imperial city.
These soldiers guarding the archway had an important task. With Tiananmen behind them, they couldn't have any problems, so they could only shoot behind the sandbag wall to defend.
Seeing that the British and the thugs were all fighting together, they had no way to attack and could only fire their guns from a distance. However, the battle was so strange that the British only fired two or three rows of guns when they saw the sound of counterattacks like rain. splashed over.
When did these thugs become so bold that they dared to shoot at foreign adults and shoot bows and arrows?
Not only that, these thugs who had taken advantage of the leopard's guts actually launched a counterattack under the leadership of Bai Jixiao. Everyone was holding broadswords and spears, just like the elite men of the Monk King back then, risking their lives to kill the British. position.
"Kill...kill the foreign soldiers...foreign devils are not allowed to interfere in the Qing Dynasty's civil war...kill..."
A tide of thugs rushed up. These more than a hundred British soldiers were actually a bunch of cowards. They had just parryed with bayonets twice and then they couldn't resist.
The new Yulin army guarding the archway jumped and scolded, "Fight! You should fight! If not, get out of the way so we can shoot..."
These British people just used their bodies to block the shooting position of the new army of the Royal Forest. These new soldiers did not dare to fire if they wanted to, for fear of accidentally injuring these foreign devils.
An incredible scene occurred. The foreign devils were actually killed and retreated. They screamed a few times and ran back. These thugs were not willing to fight.
The white cricket yelled, "Don't chase the poor invaders... let's withdraw..."
Come on! The British escaped, but they left the cannons and shells behind. These thugs naturally 'captured' two cannons, and also obtained a lot of ammunition. They even picked up dozens of fast guns on the ground.
Even fools understand what's going on!
"Ah! The British are biased... They secretly sent cannons to the thugs... Report it to the Military Aircraft Department and report it to the Emperor!"
What about the emperor? Zai Chun has been unconscious and has a high fever at the moment. He has no energy to take care of you. Fu Qing is on duty in the Military Aircraft Department and he is already crazy busy.
The white cockroach was already shaking at this moment. The British had not only sent two cannons in a random attack, but also took advantage of the chaos to send two Qing spies who had been trained to fire cannons.
The British penetrated deeply into the Qing Dynasty. They not only relied on treaties to make money, but also continued to expand their power. The continuous training of spies was an important task that could not be stopped.
They probably wouldn't be able to use the cannons given to them by people like Bai Guoxiao, so the British could only use the Qing spies they had trained. There were only two spies in tattered casual clothes, dressed like thugs, commanding the thugs to push the cannons. Just go to the imperial city and kill them.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry...get in...Intelligence shows that many royal nobles are imprisoned inside, not far from here..."
"There are enemy cavalry in front... you form a formation to protect the cannon... just hold on... prepare to fire..."
The rebels had gathered eight or nine hundred people, and were now close to Nanchizi Street. These days, there was no gate from Nanchizi Street to Chang'an Street. This street was an internal road in the imperial city that the common people were not allowed to use.
On both sides of the road are barracks, royal temples, warehouses, courtyards where some handymen and guards temporarily live, and so on!
More than 50 fast horses were rushing toward the white beetle. You could clearly see the sparks twinkling as the horseshoes trampled on the stone road!
"Don't be afraid... get in formation... we... we have cannons..." The voice commanded by Bai Jiaoxiao was vibrating. How could ordinary people not be afraid when faced with a cavalry charge?
Boom...boom...
Before the cavalry could hit them, two fast cannons behind the team opened fire. Two black clouds immediately rose up from the cavalry team, and the horses screamed in fright.
"There are cannons..." The cavalrymen were suddenly horrified. No one expected that the thugs actually pushed the cannons into the imperial city. This was chaos.
After two or three cannons were fired on the crowded street, the cavalry team was in chaos. The morale of Baijixiao and others was greatly improved and they immediately opened fire!
Bang bang bang... intensive gunshots rang out, and the cavalry team that was caught off guard was knocked upside down. The last few injured knights were stabbed to death with bayonets by the thugs who swarmed up.
"Ah! It turns out that these things are not that powerful! We are also ancestors with cannons... Kill! Let's go into the Forbidden City..."
"Set fire...burn down all the surrounding houses..."
Fu Qing, who was on Wufeng Tower in the distance, felt his heart tighten and his throat sweet. He vomited out a mouthful of blood, and he swallowed the blood back in his mouth.
He knew something was wrong when the cannon sounded. The thugs actually pushed the cannon into the imperial city area. The most important line of his defense had been breached.
"Block it...you have to block it at your own risk...Xie Ting...you are the elite of the new imperial forest army, and we need you now!"
Xie Ting stood at attention and saluted under the watchtower, turned around and said coldly, "The first division, regiment and battalion... It's time for us to work hard for His Majesty!"
"The whole army marches quickly, passes through the Ancestral Temple...outflanks the enemy's rear flank, kill!"
The three hundred new imperial guardsmen ran like crazy outside the Meridian Gate, stalking towards the enemy like a giant black python in the dark night.
"Set fire...set fire...set fire..."
The morale of Baijixiao's troops was greatly boosted. They held torches and started setting fires everywhere in the imperial city. Nanwanzi, Nandoufufang and even the royal silk warehouse became their targets.
"Set fire...set fire..."
At this moment, a head appeared on the wall of Dangtangku: "Don't set fire... Don't set fire... Where is the good guy out there? Does the accent sound like he's from the capital? Do you know me..."
Bai Guizhi subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to shoot, but then he saw the light of the torch and said, "Oh... isn't this Prince Heshuosu?"
That's right, there is Prince Heshuosu Longqin on the wall!
"This servant pays his respects to Prince Su... The little Zhengbai Banner Baijixiao lives in Toutiao Alley in Beicheng... and now supports Emperor Guangxu's ascension to the throne!"
"We rebelled! Those who rebelled against the Hunjun rebelled... I wonder who you are hanging out with, Prince Su?"
