"Boom! Boom!" A stream of red light flashed at the muzzle, and more than sixty Type 82 infantry guns of the Western Sichuan Army began to erupt with flames. The shells, one after another, smashed hard with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. Towards the capital city.
"Bombardment, lie down! My two lords, this is dangerous, please go down to the city immediately!" Guard Xu Gengshen and Prince Su Aixinjueluo? The good generals immediately picked them up and pulled them to the city wall.
"Boom!" The artillery shell exploded on the city wall. The Eight Banners Army soldiers who had no time to escape were blown high into the air and fell to the city wall, shattering their bones. Shrapnel flew across the city, and the metal storm formed swept over the city wall, causing very heavy casualties to the Eight Banners Army defending the city.
Xu Gengshen and Shanqi were in a daze when their men lowered the city wall, but they were also in a very embarrassed state. Their official uniforms were torn to pieces, and the hoods on their heads had been thrown away. went. There was deep fear on both of their faces. Apparently he was frightened by the shelling by the Western Sichuan Army just now.
"Those damn gangsters, they dared to bombard the capital. They deserve death!" Xu Gengshen said angrily.
"Counterattack! Where are our cannons? Counterattack and teach those gangsters a lesson!" Shanqi also ordered loudly with a red face. Obviously, he was also angered by the shelling of the Western Sichuan Army.
Soon, the Qing army¡¯s artillery fire also began to roar. However, the military affairs of these Eight Banners disciples were depleted. Although there were many artillery on the walls of the capital, most of them were old. Moreover, these artillerymen were neglected in training and their accuracy was very poor. Hundreds of cannons opened fire, but not a single one hit the artillery position of the Western Sichuan Army.
"Stop the bombardment, adjust the shooting angle, and target the Qing artillery on the city wall!" The commanders of the two artillery battalions of the Western Sichuan Army immediately made adjustments. Eliminating the opponent's artillery and first eliminating the opponent's threat to oneself is always the most important.
"The artillery fire from the bandits in western Sichuan has stopped. It seems that our counterattack is still effective!" Prince Su Shanqi said with a smile. He was young and vigorous, and he became the commander-in-chief of the Eight Banners soldiers solely because of his identity and Cixi's trust. In fact, he had no ability at all in military affairs. Otherwise, these Eight Banners soldiers would not be so vulnerable.
"Boom! Boom!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Western Sichuan Army's shelling started again. However, this time the Western Sichuan Army was aiming at the Qing artillery. Those artillerymen who were operating the cannon cried for their fathers and mothers when they were suddenly bombed. They no longer cared about operating the cannon and fled for their lives in panic. The cannons one after another were also blown up like twists.
Shan Qi¡¯s face suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. This was simply a slap in the face! He is a dignified prince and the number one figure in the entire Qing Dynasty, but now Western Sichuan doesn't take him seriously at all! In addition, the performance of these Eight Banners disciples was really terrible, leaving him, the coach, with no place to put his face!
The artillery of the Western Sichuan Army raged for more than half an hour before stopping. It's not that Wang Yuze doesn't want to continue the bombardment, it's just that he doesn't have much ammunition this time, so he has to use it sparingly! If something happens, the cannon must leave enough ammunition!
After the shelling stopped, the Western Sichuan Army withdrew from the capital city and set up camp twenty miles away. It seemed that they were preparing to confront the Qing army for a long time, which made Xu Gengshen and Shanqi feel bitter. If the Western Sichuan Army does not retreat for one day, the two of them will have to bear tremendous pressure! Especially Xu Gengshen, Emperor Guangxu is now very dissatisfied with him.
"Sir Xu, the emperor has summoned you!" At this moment, an imperial guard came to announce the decree. The artillery shelling by the Western Sichuan Army just now made such a big noise, and the entire capital already knew about it. It was obvious that Emperor Guangxu was very dissatisfied with this.
Xu Geng didn¡¯t dare to neglect. He didn¡¯t even have time to change clothes and went directly to the palace to see Guangxu.
The shelling of the Western Sichuan Army also caused great shock to the subjects of the capital. They were all afraid that the Western Sichuan Army would invade the city, so they packed up their belongings and fled for their lives as soon as the city gate was opened. In the eyes of ordinary people, because of the propaganda of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Western Sichuan has become a bandit who does all kinds of evil.
In the Forbidden City, Yangxin Hall, Guangxu is talking to Weng Tonghe. However, his face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he was greatly frightened by the shelling just now.
"Master Weng, when will my new army of imperial guards return?" Emperor Guangxu said with some horror. He also had no hope for those Eight Banners soldiers who only knew how to eat, drink, have fun, fight cocks and walk dogs.
"It will take ten days at the fastest to return to the emperor. If the new imperial guard army returns, it will not be a big concern if it becomes the Western Sichuan Army. However, Your Majesty, your biggest enemy is not in western Sichuan, but over there in the west! If the Qing Dynasty wants to revive, it must have a bright future.?That¡¯s it! And if the emperor wants to become the master of the Ming Dynasty, he must obviously control all the power of the court! "Weng Tonghe persuaded.
"Master Weng, don't worry. Once the bandits in western Sichuan are driven away, I will take action. This time, I will never be soft. Even if I give some benefits to western Sichuan temporarily, I must first stabilize the internal situation!" Emperor Guangxu's eyes flashed with a trace of cruelty.
In the Yangxin Hall, a little eunuch with his head lowered, after hearing these words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. But then, his eyes returned to calmness, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.
Soon, Xu Geng entered the palace.
"My lord, Xu Geng, bows before the emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live the emperor!" Xu Geng knelt down on the ground and bowed in obeisance.
"Get up! Xu Aiqing, why are you in such a mess?" Emperor Guangxu frowned when he saw Xu Gengshen's messy look.
"Back to the emperor. When the bandits in western Sichuan were shelling just now, I happened to be on top of the city, so it ended up like this!" Xu Gengshen replied sheepishly.
"Oh? So that's it!" Emperor Guangxu looked much better when he heard Xu Gengshen say this.
"Is the Western Sichuan Army really that powerful? Can it withstand their attack?" Weng Tonghe also asked. If the Western Sichuan Army breaks through the capital, all their previous plans will be over, and anything more will be useless.
"The walls of the capital city are thick enough to withstand the attack of the Western Sichuan Army. However, several city gates are very weak. If the Western Sichuan Army blows open the city gates with explosives, they will be able to drive straight in. With the combat power of the Eight Banners soldiers, It is difficult to resist. Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to order all seven gates of the outer city to be blocked with sandbags to prevent the Western Sichuan Army from blowing open the gates and causing the Western Sichuan Army to attack the capital. Last night I summarized the news from the front line Battle report. The Western Sichuan Army often uses this move when dealing with our fortified city. In order to nip it in the bud, I think it is very necessary to do this!" Xu Gengshen pleaded.
"But if the city gate is blocked, what will happen when the new imperial guards return?" Emperor Guangxu frowned.
"Your Majesty, just move all these sandbags away when the time comes. It won't cause any impact!" Xu Gengshen said quickly.
Emperor Guangxu looked at Weng Tonghe, and after seeing Weng Tonghe nodding, he made up his mind.
"Well, let's go as you wish! Xu Aiqing, I will leave the defense of the capital to you. You must ensure that the capital is not lost before the new imperial guard army returns!" Emperor Guangxu said sternly.
"I accept the decree. Your Majesty, please rest assured. If the Western Sichuan Army wants to attack the capital, they must first kill me." Xu Gengshen said with great righteousness.
The Forbidden City, in the Chuxiu Palace. Shi Duo entered the palace when the Western Sichuan Army started bombarding, and acted as a loyal escort in front of Cixi. However, Cixi was fully aware of his thoughts.
"The Queen Mother, I heard that the artillery of the Western Sichuan rebels is very powerful! It is more powerful than the artillery equipped by the new army. If, if the capital cannot be defended, I will risk my life to ensure that the Queen Mother leaves safely. Capital. We will go outside the Pass. That is our land of Longxing. In the future, we can learn from our ancestors and break into the Pass again!" Shi Duo said with red eyes.
"Okay, okay! The Aixinjueluo family knows that you are loyal, aren't you to that point now? If you return to the land of Longxing outside the pass, it goes without saying. The ancestors of the Aixinjueluo family finally conquered How can we throw away this great country like this!" the Empress Dowager Cixi scolded.
"Yes, I know that I am wrong. However, there is still something wrong with the emperor's actions! From what I see, the world of the Qing Dynasty still has to rely on you, the Queen Mother, to be at the helm!" Shi Duo urged again. Since he was dismissed as the Minister of Military Aircraft, his Prince Li's Mansion has become a lot deserted, and it has completely lost the grand scene of the bustling crowds before.
Ci Xi didn¡¯t say much, seeming to be considering Shi Duo¡¯s words.
At this time, a eunuch came in, said a few words in the ear of the eunuch chief Li Lianying, and then left. However, Li Lianying's expression changed drastically.
Li Lianying immediately possessed Cixi's ear and said a few words. Suddenly, Cixi's expression changed.
"Bang!" Cixi threw the tea cup in her hand to the ground and smashed it into pieces.
"What an immature wolf cub. The Ai family has always cared about the relationship between mother and child, but they didn't expect that the Ai family was always the one who wanted to attack the Ai family just for a little bit of power. It's simply ungrateful. Guy! In this case, don't blame the Aijia for being unkind and unjust!" Cixi said angrily. She looked like an angry old witch.
Shiduo was immediately overjoyed. Of course he knew who the wolf cub Cixi was talking about.?.
"Shiduo, you leave the palace immediately and go to see Shanqi. Ask him to guarantee the center of the Eight Banners soldiers. Once the Ai family is killed, he must execute it immediately!" Empress Dowager Cixi said coldly.
"Yes, Queen Mother! I will go see Shanqi immediately!" Shiduo immediately knelt down and went to find Shanqi. He seemed to see Cixi coming out of the mountain, and then he became famous again.
