At this time, the Boxers' position had ended the battle, and the thousands of Mongol horses and cavalry that rushed into the gun array were undoubtedly not bloody and fleshy, and were stabbed with bayonets."
Big handsome, look" As soon as Hu Liefeng and Geng Biao had put their guns in order, their lieutenants pointed to the position in front and shouted."
Mongol cavalry charge" monk Grinqin faced the roar of the Boxers' guns, his white braids had been completely blown away by the wind, and his hoarse shouts wandered around the battlefield.On the battlefield thousands of meters away, only two war horses galloped towards the spear array.The leader was the monk Lingqin in military uniform, who was nearly sixty years old at this time, and looked unusually old in the sunset.Behind him was only a herald holding the military flag, and the Mongolian man was still holding the black monk's banner with his waist straight, followed by the monk Lingqin, and rushed towards the gun array without hesitation.The lieutenants of the left and right Jida and Habqik went away with the last hundreds of Mongol cavalry, and in their hearts, the old prince had gone crazy.They don't want to go crazy with him anymore, and they don't need the glory of such madness."
Bring the gun" Hu Liefeng and Geng Biao looked at each other, nodded with cold faces, and gave orders to each other's personal soldiers beside them.At this time, the two of them suddenly had a trace of respect for this Mongolian prince, and decided to give him a ride in person.There is a character called a hero who will always draw an end to his life in such a tragic way."
Bang, bang" After the two gunshots, the old man on the black war horse suddenly rolled off his horse, still staring directly at the gun array of the Boxers with an unwilling face, and did not close his eyes until he died.In the battle of Bali Bridge, the Mongol cavalry was annihilated.Even the invincible Mongolian prince Monk Grinqin was killed on the battlefield, like a bombshell suddenly spread all over the world.No one knows why he stubbornly chose to fight the Boxers here, knowing that he was invincible, but he still tried his best.After the news reached Nanjing, even Qiao Zhiqing felt inexplicable.In his time, Seng Lingqin only fought a defeat with the Eight-Nation Alliance at Bali Bridge, not to the extent of losing his life.The only thing that can be explained is fatalism, maybe the Bali Bridge is the end of Seng Lingqin.No matter how he dodged, he still couldn't escape this catastrophe.Perhaps it was because after the Mongolian cavalry was lonely in the past, he was frustrated everywhere and could no longer bear the psychological gap.Dying on the battlefield of impact may be the best ending for him.In the battle of Bali Bridge, the momentum of the Boxers increased greatly.Almost all the people in the capital believe that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is blessed by heaven.The country that was snatched away by the Manchu Tartars at the beginning is indeed going to return to the hands of the old Zhu family now.The three elders of the Boxer Rebellion also had a moment of self-confidence, and decided to send troops to Chengde and take the initiative to attack the emperor of the Manchu Tartars.The Weihu Army and the Seven Evil Army replenished grain, grass and ammunition at Bali Bridge, hoping to make new contributions while their morale was high.The army went all the way to the north, and just marched to the vicinity of Miyun County, and happened to meet the Protector Army who was going south from Chengde to suppress bandits.Rong Lu traveled day and night all the way, just crossed the Great Wall and arrived near Miyun.Here I heard the news that the whole army of Seng Lingqin had been wiped out, and I was shocked and angry, and I was about to seek revenge from the Boxers, but I didn't expect the scouts in front to send the news that the Boxers had taken the initiative to attack.Rong Lu immediately asked the soldiers to fortify the position, and the Protector Army had 100,000 horses, and the soldiers were divided into three routes.Along the way, dig trenches in the places where the Boxers must pass, and prepare to fight positional battles with the Boxers.The other two flanks outflanked the rear of the Boxers from the left and right flanks, preparing to swallow up all the Boxer troops.The next day, the two sides met on the ground.Hu Liefeng and Geng Biao's morale was high, and they immediately ordered the soldiers to form a gun formation and charge forward intensively.A team of more than 30,000 people lined up in layers of guns, and rows of charging national troops rushed forward.When the two sides were a thousand meters apart, the Protectors in the trenches suddenly burst into gunfire.Hu Liefeng and Geng Biao were obviously taken aback, and the bullets flew over, and all the soldiers of the first layer of the Seven Evil Army and the Weihu Army were put down in one moment.Only then did the generals of the Boxers realize that the Tartar army in front of them was obviously their old opponent, the Protector Army.At the beginning of Shandong, he fought against the Protector Army, and was almost defeated repeatedly.Because the difference in weapons between the two sides was so great, the Protectors either lay on the ground or hid in the trenches.The Boxers were completely unable to aim and shoot, but instead became a live target for the Protectors."
Withdraw quickly" The two didn't want to fight with the Protector Army, so they hurriedly gave the order to retreat, preparing to withdraw to the capital, relying on the city wall and fighting with the Protector Army.The army immediately turned its guns and retreated.To everyone's surprise, when the army withdrew ten miles away, suddenly there were bursts of gunfire on the left flank.Before the crowd could react, there were bursts of gunfire from the right flank."
Report, big boss, it's not good.The enemy was found on the left and right flanks of the rear, and we were surrounded," the herald quickly informed Hu Liefeng and Geng Biao of the news.The hearts of the two of them chuckled at the same time, it seemed that the Protector Army had come with troops this time.Their target must have been Beijing, and the Qing court was not at all as weakened as everyone thought."
The son of a has been raised, let's fight with the Protector Army" The generals roared, and no longer retreated, forming a gun formation and defending in place, waiting for the impact of the Protector Army.A gun array of 30,000 people unfolded on the battlefield within a radius of ten miles, with foreign guns like forests and soldiers as brave as beans.Whether you want to or not, you will fight to the end with the determination to die.More than 100,000 people of the Protector Army formed a circular encirclement, completely encircling the more than 30,000 people of the Boxers.The battle had been going on from morning to dusk, and the battlefield was completely enveloped in the sound of gunfire and the screams of killing everywhere.The flames of war broke out everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.The Protectors relied on excellent breech rifles to defeat the Boxers.There was no comparison between the two sides at all, and the Protectors kept creeping fire and seized positions.The encirclement shrank and narrowed, and in the end, except for more than 4,000 Boxer soldiers, all the 30,000 soldiers of the Weihu Army and the Seven Evil Army fell under the guns of the Protector Army.These more than 4,000 Boxers were still Protectors who had just surrendered, and they were also armed with breech-loading guns.Because he had already chosen to surrender, he was worried about Rong Lu's punishment, so he insisted on going all the way to the black.Under the command of the Boxer generals, they finally broke through the siege and fled into the city of Beijing.After a short rest in Miyun, the Protectors finally arrived ten miles outside Beijing to rest and recuperate, preparing to attack Beijing the next day.The two elites of the Boxers were defeated in Miyun, and the situation in the capital continued to change color within a month, leaving the people in the city overwhelmed and panicked.They were all worried that the Manchu Tartars would return to the capital to settle accounts after the autumn, and when the time came, they would definitely be cut off by the Manchu Tartars.Those young Han people who followed the Boxer Rebellion and took out their anger with people were even more bitter.I am afraid that the Manchurians will return to Beijing again, and I am afraid that the humiliation of the day will be doubled when the time comes.The three elders quickly called the generals to discuss how to deal with the enemy.The council hall was no longer as relaxed as before, and all the generals had elongated their faces, and their eyebrows were all frowned together."
Elder Wang, it's better to rob the gold and silver of the Forbidden City, go back to our Shandong, the foreign guns of the Protector Army are exactly the same as the Huaxing Army, let's fight with them, we have been defeated repeatedly, and we can't resist at all" Geng Biao, the boss of the Cangzhou Five Tigers, was the first to speak, with a dejected look on his face."
Yes, Elder Wang.The Protector Army raised troops to besiege Beijing this time, but our weapons were too different from theirs.This time to defend Beijing City, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious and less auspicious" Hu Liefeng, the boss of the Seven Heroes of Saibei, also sighed, his face full of unconfidence.Miyun battled, if he hadn't fought to the death with Geng Biao, I'm afraid he would have gone down to the underworld by now.The other generals were silent, and none of them resisted lightly.This time it was indeed life-threatening, they were almost wiped out by the escort several times in Shandong, if they hadn't hid in Yimeng Mountain, they would have been wiped out long ago."
Isn't it just a defeat in a battle, what do you all look like" Wang Yinlin pointed to the generals and scolded, and continued with a cold face, "Our weapons are indeed lagging behind the Protector Army, but don't forget, we occupy the city of Beijing.The city here is high and strong, the national protection army arrived in a hurry, and there is no heavy artillery in the army, so it is not easy to capture the city of Beijing.If we flee back to Shandong now, with so much gold and silver, we will inevitably be watched by all forces.It is estimated that before we reached Shandong, we were blocked by soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and we had to fight to the death" "I agree with Elder Wang's opinion, although we are slightly inferior in weapons.But we are in a good place, and we are in the right place.There are still 300,000 Han people in Beijing, as long as they are willing to defend Beijing with us, they will definitely repel the attack of the Protector Army" Jiang Wanshan and Wang Yinlin's opinion are the same, they see more than the generals, and evacuating now is tantamount to self-chaos."
Brother Meng, what do you mean" Jiang Wanshan and Wang Yinlin looked at Meng Laicai at the same time, he has always been the backbone of everyone, and he can always come up with a good way to turn danger into a disaster."
Brother Wang and Brother Meng are right, since we have come to Beijing, there is absolutely no reason to go back.In that year, Li Zicheng took the city of Beijing, and as soon as the Qing army entered the customs, he fled in a hurry with a large group of men.As you know, his brother immediately fell apart.Beijing City is the driving force for all the brothers to gather together, leaving here, do you think we can still gather such a large number of soldiers and horses, in my opinion, tomorrow will hold an enthronement ceremony to appease the hearts of the army and the people.As long as everyone works together, we will definitely be able to defend the city of Beijing," Meng Laicai exhaled with a serious expression, and also advocated a decisive battle to the end, and explained the stakes to the generals."
Yes, yes, yes, what Elder Meng said is" "That's right, we can't learn from Li Zicheng" "Yes, as long as the emperor ascends the throne, the world will naturally return to its heart, and our great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty will be accomplished." ”"It's done, fight to the death with the Protector Army" All the generals looked at each other, whispered, and regained a trace of confidence on their faces
