Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 842 Reaction of the Parties
After covering his mouth and nose with a white handkerchief, 40-year-old Charlie Elliot walked slowly on the battlefield.

This is because in the previous time, the soldiers on the Yin Army side only had to approach the fort within a distance of about 400 yards.

A gunshot will be heard from the top of the mountain, and then he will be hit without any suspense. The marksmanship is terrifyingly accurate.

As a result, there was no way to clean up the corpses of most of the lobster soldiers on the main battlefield; even some of the wounded gradually died while wailing.

Their bodies quickly began to decompose in the hot weather of May in eastern Guangdong.

Finally, at this time, the battlefield has become densely packed with big-headed flies, as well as a strong stench.

It would be a big mistake to think that Yilu is a weak person because of his artificial actions.

When he looked at the battlefield, his eyes were as fierce as an eagle.

Next to him, a second lieutenant whose injured left arm was hung under his neck was introducing the battle a few hours ago.

Because the majestic Dayin Empire's three infantry companies, plus an artillery company, were defeated by the same number of Daqing cavalry in a frontal battle.

Even the Sifang Fort, which was the key to the attack on Yangcheng, had a poor record of being taken back by the Qingren.

During the whole process, the poor second lieutenant stuttered a bit because he was too nervous.

no way!Sir Charles Elliot is not only the deputy plenipotentiary representing the Great Yin in this Great Yin Expeditionary Force, he was also the commercial director in China in the past few years.

The commander-in-chief and plenipotentiary of the expeditionary force, Rear Admiral George Yilu, was his cousin.

The above two people, for a second lieutenant of the army with a civilian background, are definitely big shots who cannot be messed with.

Besides, after he introduced the relevant situation, Sir Elliot was frowning all the time, and he looked like he was in a bad mood.

Yes, Richard Elliot was in a terrible mood.

Because such a war between the Great Yin Empire and the ignorant and backward Daqing lasted almost a year.

The casualties in all the previous battles combined were not as many as this one.

This made him, who had always been praised domestically for his brilliant results, extremely angry.

Even now he could think of how the gentlemen would laugh at him when the news reached London.

As for whether the failure of this battle would lead to a chain of bad reactions, or whether it would make him feel a sense of crisis, there was no chance at all.

He has been in Daqing for ten years, so he is considered a Daqing expert.

In this huge decadent empire, there are some warriors, just like the general 'Guan Tianpei' who died in Humen.

But there are only a few such warriors.

Most of them ran away like rabbits after the sound of the cannon.

As for these warriors on the mountain, they will not survive for long; because once the artillery position is completed, the artillery will be fired with all their strength.

Then all the infantry will rush forward from four directions, drowning them like a tide.

Even if there is a lot of smoke rising from above and it is not very clear to see, and it is said that the melee ability is quite powerful, it cannot change this fact.

Because according to that slight statement, there are only three to 40 cases at the top of the mountain.

Moreover, they all suffered serious injuries, and their combat effectiveness was greatly affected...

While Yilu was silently observing the battlefield, a captain trotted up to him and respectfully reported:

"Dear Your Excellency, the artillery position has been prepared. Please issue a new order~"

"Open fire immediately and shoot out all the shells." Without thinking, Yilu gave such a reply.

After hearing such an order, the artillery captain was ready to turn around and start firing with all his strength.

On the hill where thick smoke was rising, there was some new movement.

A white man wearing a gentleman's dress raised his hands high and kept looking back at the situation behind him. He didn't stop until he reached halfway up the mountain.

Then, holding a paper tube trumpet in his hand, he shouted: "Gentlemen, please do not shoot or make other actions. There are at least three sharpshooters behind me who are aiming at me."

My name is Henry Cavendish and I am a direct member of the Cavendish family.Based on Europa's rules of engagement, please inform Commander-in-Chief George Ilu. He can confirm my identity and help advance a ransom that matches my identity. The Cavendish family will naturally express their gratitude in the future.

Before that, please be sure to stop any attacks on the fort, for Brother Su's sake. "

By the end of the sentence, the gentleman almost cried.

Then, even though there was a strong urge to run away and rush back to his own position on his face.

But after thinking that if he did anything abnormal, the musketeers behind him would immediately blow his head off, he could only walk up the mountain with a sad face.

After hearing the above statement, Yilu yelled "Shit~" on the spot.

Mainly because he knew that the planned attack must be stopped immediately.

Because as a Great Yin noble, he is more aware of the influence of the Cavendish family in Great Yin and Europa than the bumpkins in the Xuange Camp team.

That, like the Windsor family and the Wallenberg family, is a core family in the Freemasonry.

If you don't want to get yourself into trouble, this attack must stop; as for how to deal with it later, I'm afraid you have to discuss it with your cousin.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about staying on this battlefield.

But before leaving, Yilu gave a series of explanations:

"Surround this damn place for me so that not even a bird can fly over; and I've asked the local aborigines that there is no water source at all on that hill.

Therefore, they cannot be allowed to secretly go down the mountain to fetch water. Even if they cannot be bombed to death, they will still be thirsty to death. "

After saying that, he turned around and left. However, after taking a few steps, he pointed at the system war horse that was still beside Fengrui's body and refused to leave, and added:
"Look for an opportunity and catch that war horse for me. I will definitely survive~"

******
In this way, relying on the reputation of the 'Cavendish' family, Hu Biao and the others gained some buffer time.

The group of people did not dare to be careless and worked until the sun set in the west, then managed to finish building all the fortifications.

Just to do this, everyone was exhausted, their physical strength was almost exhausted, and the wounds that had been treated and bandaged began to ooze blood again.

The key is that after sweating a lot during labor, everyone's throat feels like it's on fire. It's so hot.

So I became more and more determined to go out and get some water tonight.

At the same time, in a luxurious mansion in Yangcheng, General Jingni Aisin Gioro Yishan, and Counselor Yang Fang and Long Wen, the three highest-ranking Daqing officials in Yangcheng.

After closing the door, we have been discussing for an entire afternoon and have come to a result.

What is the content of the discussion: Of course, the Yin barbarians have already reached the outside of the city.

Should we send troops to support the Sifang Fort in Yuexiu Mountain? Facing these Yin people with sharp guns, what is the specific number of troops and time to be dispatched?

Hu Biao from Lvying in Hunan Province, a mere ninth-grade foreign affairs commander, actually killed Manlong, the master-like Zhengbai Banner 'Batulu'. How should this matter be handled?
In short, the three of them discussed it for an entire afternoon.

After Aixinjueluo Yishan stood up, he shouted out his decision: "This is a serious matter. Let's see how the Yin people react next. We will discuss it tomorrow."

After saying that, Shi Shiran left.

Soon after, the sky became completely dark, and a large number of lights in the city were lit, and there were many shops in the bustling market.

On the contrary, after all the tens of thousands of defenders guarding the city withdrew or escaped from the city, it became more and more lively.

Because the people in the city had calmed down from the excitement of the cavalry charging into battle in the afternoon; they just did whatever they had to do, no different from usual times.

They don't think that such a war has anything to do with them.

If there is, it is because I heard that these underworld people are quite generous with their money, so can I get some money from them?

After nearly 200 years of barbaric rule by Da Qing, it succeeded in wearing down the last bloody elements of the Han people to the point where almost nothing remained.

There is no longer a trace of the pride of the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, when those who opened their clothes, tied the heads of foreign races around their waists, and strode towards foreign races.

Even Hu Biao and others who were on Panlonggang seemed to be able to hear the faint singing and playing of silk and bamboo, as well as the laughter of people drinking and drinking.

Comparing it to Hu Biao, a dead cripple, struggling to walk, it seems so ironic...
