I was dumbfounded by the picture. No one would have thought that there is such a capable fighting army hidden here? Isn't it true that Zaichun built the steel plant not to make steel but to secretly train the army?
But that's not right. Why aren't such powerful soldiers equipped with weapons? Are they all fighting about the guys in the factory?
"Damn...this Western industry is really evil. Mortals will become devils if they get contaminated..."
"Xiao Letian turned into a big devil after learning Western learning, and these ordinary people who did not work in the fields and worked in factories turned into little devils? Damn it... concentrate the remaining bullets, I don't believe you can't rush through..."
"Let the city mobilize reinforcements immediately..."
Bang, bang, bang... the gunshots became more intensive again, and now the flesh-and-blood workers couldn't stop them, and they were swept away!
"Shoot to suppress... Damn you bullies, don't you have guns?" Under the order of Xin Jian and others, hundreds of rifles gathered together and fired back in the direction of the shooting. The two sides fought with smoke everywhere. People fell in groups, just like harvesting wheat.
During the battle, Fu Qing's hoarse command voice suddenly came from behind Xin Jian: "Long live the Lord's decree... Workers should fight and retreat... Your Majesty has already crossed the bridge, Your Majesty has entered the factory..."
"Great..." Xin Jian suddenly waved the red flag, "Withdraw... slowly withdraw... take our injured workers..."
The Workers' Self-Defense Force held off eight thousand rebel thugs for more than 20 minutes, giving Emperor Tongzhi the most precious time to retreat. At this moment, the frame had entered the factory and disappeared among the complex workshops.
For more than twenty minutes, there were countless corpses on the ground, layer by layer. The brutal killings made these hot-headed thugs calm down a lot.
Looking at the oil-stained blue work clothes across from them, the legs of these Eight Banners men who used to show off their power began to tremble unconsciously.
Even the most downtrodden of the Eight Banners gentlemen in the capital have never looked down upon these dirty workers. Even when these workers went for a walk in the capital on their days off, they were looked down upon and bullied by them.
But today, the workers proved themselves with the most powerful combat effectiveness. Strength is the best weapon to win respect. From today on, the Workers' Self-Defense Force of the Capital Iron Works, this golden sign, will march sideways in the Northland.
Zai Tu and Ronglu were in a hurry and had no choice. They had run out of ammunition and the reinforcements had not followed up. However, the thousands of people at the scene actually frightened a group of workers!
Almost all the people Na Duobao brought were wiped out!
"Damn it...it's all my credit...it's all my credit..."
Zai Tu looked at Zai Chun's frame disappearing into the factory area, as if his credit had been wasted, and he was still counting on using Emperor Tongzhi's head in exchange for credit.
In the future, I will use these merits to participate in the battle for the inheritance. If I want to defeat Zai Cheng, there is no other way but to rely on the accumulation of merits. Who wants to let his mother's blood fail?
The credit was about to slip away, and Zai Tu's anxious heart ached: "Damn, damn... what's so good about this foolish king? Why is there someone else working for him even though he's in this position?"
Ronglu and Yisiha quickly tried to persuade them, "These stinky coolies have all taken money from the Hunjun. They have offered a high price, so of course they will sacrifice their lives... Prince, don't worry, our reinforcements will be here soon..."
Just as Zaitu was scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously, a loud noise suddenly came from a little to the west and south of the battlefield, roughly towards the Old Summer Palace.
Everyone turned around and saw a group of dark military formations coming over. What was strange was that the entire military formation only had various triangular flags, but no commander's flag. No one could identify the identity of this army.
There were quite a few people, as many as three thousand. Among these three thousand people, they were all soldiers with live ammunition. Some were wearing the military uniforms of the Xishan Camp, some were wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Flag Camp, some were wearing the uniforms of the Han Army Flag, and some were even dressed as ordinary people. .
But when these people gathered together to form a military formation, they were oppressed by layers of murderous intent!
Zai Tu quickly took out his binoculars and looked out, "Ah! There are two more cannons... Whose soldiers are these? What a mess..."
Xin Jian and the others were stunned by the sudden appearance of the new force. They were either enemies or friends, but they intuitively felt something was wrong. "Brothers, fellow workers... cross the bridge immediately... evacuate to the steel plant... evacuate..."
Boom...boom...
Without warning, this military formation that appeared out of nowhere opened fire. The shells made a rumble in the sky, and then exploded in front of the retreating formation of the Workers' Self-Defense Forces.
Boom... Boom... Two pillars of smoke rose into the sky, and several corpses were thrown into the sky. The shells did not fall in crowded places, but the flying shells seriously injured several iron factory workers.
The firing of artillery was a declaration of war. People knew by looking at the position where the artillery shells landed that these people were targeting Emperor Tongzhi, because the impact point of the artillery shells was completely close to the side of the Workers' Self-Defense Forces.
"Ah...Long live...our reinforcements..."
The stunned rebel thugs cheered collectively, and their suppressed morale was once again boosted. Zaitu immediately sent fast horses to shout for reinforcements.
"That part is on the opposite side... This is where the eldest brother, Long Live Lord, is heading..."
"The person wearing the military uniform of the Xishan Battalion opposite is from the battalion head... Our side is from the old Fifth Division..."
"The person opposite, please reveal your identity...please reveal your identity..."
But no matter how the knight shouted in front of the formation, no one in the formation paid him any attention, and the formation still slowly pressed forward.
In the end, a fast horse rushed out from behind the position, and the knight on the horse retreated with the shouting cavalry. The two of them were biting their tongues in a low voice along the way.
This inexplicable army was so hidden and refused to reveal its identity, which surprised Xin Jian and others, but since the other party fired at them, they were enemies and not friends.
"Withdraw... Hurry up and withdraw... We will be safe after crossing the Qinghe River and entering the steel plant..." Xin Jian and other leaders of the Workers' Self-Defense Force came to the rear in person, and a large number of soldiers swarmed onto the wooden bridge and began to retreat north.
At this moment, the inexplicable military formation suddenly began to accelerate. Countless soldiers came towards Xin Jian and others with guns. Soon both sides were within the range of rifles.
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……
This inexplicable army came up and opened fire without saying a word. The bullets were fired densely and hard. A group of workers who were retreating at the bridge were immediately swept away, and the scene was full of blood.
"Damn... you bitch... do you dare to show your identity... I don't have any bullets to bully me... If you have the guts to confront me head-on!"
"Fuck... where did this bastard come from..."
The injured workers were yelling and swearing. At this time, a team suddenly rushed out from the bridge. Fu Qing led more than 500 new Yulin troops and a group of officials and rushed over against the current.
One of the officers yelled, "I know who he is... I know who these fuckers are..."
