Zaichun recruited 500 Yulin new troops and rushed across the Houmen Bridge towards the north. On the way, these newly reorganized soldiers reported loudly, "Deshengmen is still in our hands. Deshengmen has not been lost. Please leave the city through Deshengmen quickly." , this is the last city we control!"
It is true that all the outer gates of the capital have fallen at this moment. Only Desheng Gate is still guarded by more than 800 soldiers from the Imperial New Army and 400 soldiers from the Capital Police Headquarters.
Thanks to the fact that Desheng Gate is guarded by Guan Lu, a direct descendant of Zai Chun. This is an elite direct descendant who killed the Rakshasa ghosts in the Ili Valley with Doro, and is the core figure among Zai Chun's three hundred guards.
Duoluo was injured while guarding Chongwenmen, and his life and death are unknown at the moment, while Guanlu was guarding Deshengmen, and his life was better and he is still holding on!
The city walls on both sides of Desheng Gate were blocked tightly with sandbags. The rebels were attacking from both sides, and the heavy machine guns of the Yulin New Army were already killing them like crazy.
The dead bodies of the rebels fell to the ground layer after layer. When the fighting was at its most intense, the barrel of the heavy machine gun was red-hot and could no longer be used.
"Heavy machine guns cool down...Brothers, follow me and fight out..." Guan Lu raised his arms and shouted, and the new Yulin troops holding bayonets on his left and right formed a sharp-knife team and launched a countercharge towards the rebels.
In hand-to-hand combat, these rebels are no match for the New Army. Even the steel mouths of their bayonets are not as good as those of the New Army. The hundred-forged steel produced in the Chinese steel factory is better than the steel smelted in the Qing Dynasty kilns. But it's too powerful.
No matter how thick the leather armor is, there will be a bloody hole in it!
A murderous countercharge killed these rebels. Behind the stormtroopers, several soldiers took off their pants and peed, pricking... The urine rushed onto the red barrel of the gun, creating a pungent mist. Just squirted out.
The suicide squad here killed seven in and seven out. When they retreated, the firepower of the heavy machine guns continued again. With the sound of tearing cloth, the retreating rebel formations died on the city wall layer by layer.
The thugs in the city had already driven these new Yulin troops to fear. More than ten attacks, leaving thousands of corpses behind, did not shake the Deshengmen city defense.
The condescending soldiers were like hunting rabbits, shooting any thug who dared to show his head on the street!
As long as you dare to charge as a group, explosives will be thrown from the top of the city! I don’t know what Guan Lu is thinking. Deshengmen has become a huge gunpowder magazine, and the ammunition loaded is almost inexhaustible!
In fact, people like Guan Lu and Doluo all fought with Zuo Zongtang in the Battle of the Western Regions. It was a place where supplies were particularly difficult. Almost everyone who fought there had obsessive-compulsive disorder!
That is to do everything possible to prepare for the worst and stock up on all kinds of supplies!
The idea of fighting a hard and protracted war has been engraved in these people's hearts. There is no other way. The memory of the difficulty of supplying in the Western Region War is too deep.
In fact, if Britain, France and Tsarist Russia had not unexpectedly joined the war at Chongwenmen, and there had been so many artillery bombardments, it would have been wishful thinking to expect these rebels to capture Doro's position.
Deshengmen is located in the northernmost part of the capital and cannot bear the greatest pressure for the time being. It faces the rebels of Guiziliu and the thugs in the city, so the pressure is naturally less.
Nowadays, with the nine gates of the capital plus the seven gates of the outer city, only the Desheng Gate is still under Zaichun's control, and the only one left that is dead is the Sheng Gate!
"Open fire... open fire... there is a figure at the eight-step entrance of Fruit City... there is a large-scale mob... open fire..."
"Wait... No... No... Don't shoot..."
On the top of the city, there were countless new soldiers from the imperial forest who were stunned. When they saw the groups of people below, they wanted to shoot, but there were still a few squad leaders who were still thinking clearly.
He looked closely and saw that it was his own military uniform. "It's one of our own...don't shoot...the one coming from the direction of the fruit market is one of our own..."
"Which part is it below...please sign up..."
Ma Ming was the first to shout, "I am Ma Ming of the First Division... tell Guan Lu... His Majesty is here to break out... open the city gate to meet... and unite the troops together!"
ah! Everyone on the top of the city exclaimed, "Long live the Lord has broken out... He has really broken out... Look... there are eunuchs and maids running behind the team..."
"Kaichengmen sent death squads to respond... The entire army carries the largest unit of ammunition, and we are ready to break out..."
Guan Lu was the first to kill him from the horse road with a death squad. The thugs hiding in the alley also knew that Emperor Tongzhi was coming. This was a big fat sheep.
Thousands of thugs rushed out from nowhere and pressed towards the Deshengmen gate in a dark way!
"Capture Emperor Tongzhi... Capture Hunjun... Grab the credit... Wealth and glory depend on this..."
The Eight Banners organization is a group of people with the strongest gambling habits in the world. Why do you say that? Because the system of the Qing Dynasty was very abnormal, the children of the Eight Banners were not allowed to engage in any other industry.
When this system was established, the consideration was to allow these Eight Banners children to serve as soldiers and become professional soldiers. They could not do business or learn crafts.
And these people have no material for studying, and their imperial examination performance is simply not as good as that of Han scholars.
These people do have hard-core crops that they can eat for generations, but there is not enough to eat. They also want to improve their class and take a few steps up.
So these people especially hope for a war, because if there is a war, there will be opportunities!
Of course, what better opportunity than war? Of course it was a coup. Every time the Qing Dynasty fought for the throne, it attracted countless bannermen to come out and place bets. Is this the reason?
The investment is small but the rewards are huge. As long as you succeed in joining the team and sacrifice your life in a short period of time, you will be blessed for several lifetimes after you survive!
This kind of high-stakes bet is an exclusive treatment for people in the political circle of the Eight Banners, and the bet is on the future and destiny!
Seeing that Emperor Tongzhi was right in front of them, these people went crazy and ran forward desperately. The heads in front of them were all credit, it was all a big credit!
"Kill...capture the faint king...don't be as embarrassed as the Sanbao family...losing the family's wealth in vain...that grandson is a fool!"
Who would have thought that there was already a civil war in the capital, and the information among the Eight Banners was so well-informed, that what happened at the Three Treasures would be blown to Deshengmen like the wind so quickly.
At this moment, the Sanbao has been abandoned by the whole world. His father, brother and family elders looked at him and hated the iron. They stamped their feet and cursed, "Mud can't hold up the wall! Mud... you are just a mud……"
"You blame the family for not paying attention to you and not giving you a chance... You have to be that piece of material yourself! You are just a piece of shit..."
The Sanbao could no longer hear the scoldings of his family, and the spit on him didn't matter anymore. He walked aimlessly along the river like a ghost.
The entire capital was gray, with shouts of killing everywhere, fire and smoke everywhere, and the gunshots everywhere never stopped.
At this time, the bells and drums suddenly sounded in the Forbidden City. It was Emperor Guangxu Yixin who was summoning all civil and military officials!
"Haha... Loyalty and filial piety can't have both... Why can't loyalty and filial piety have both... Hahahaha..."
The world of Sanbao collapsed. He turned over and jumped into the Shicha Sea. His body was floating in the waves. No one cared about his life or death!
