The Travelers of the Heavens

capital, city gate

"How is this going"

"Everything is messed up"

"Captain, what happened?"

The patrolling Kyushu soldiers felt very strange when they saw a large number of royal guards of honor, horse carriages and panicked people pouring out of the city.

"Orders have been passed down from above to maintain order on the streets, and illegal activities such as theft and robbery will never be allowed. If someone takes the opportunity to cause chaos, they can be shot and killed." The captain ordered to his soldiers

""Yes." The soldiers responded, then fixed their bayonets on their rifles and watched the people fleeing out of the city. At the same time, they patrolled the streets. If anything happened, they would immediately suppress them.

"you! What are you doing! Stop!"When several Jiuzhou soldiers saw someone taking advantage of the chaos to rob them, they shouted and chased after them.

"stop! Otherwise, shoot!"The Kyushu soldiers shouted while chasing.

But the robber continued to run away.

"Click, click, snap"

"ah!"

The rifle was loaded with bullets, and then it was aimed and fired. The target was shot and fell to the ground dead.

Similar scenes happened all over the capital.

Prince Gong Yixin and his father-in-law, who stayed behind in the capital, did not know the situation outside and did not dare to go. When Wang Qi was found in the Old Summer Palace, he could only send his servants out to find out the news.

"Well, go home quickly! Don't run around." When the two Kyushu soldiers saw the servants of the palace who were inquiring about the news, they scolded each other.

But the servant couldn't understand what the Kyushu soldiers said, and he froze on the spot.

One of the Kyushu soldiers fired a shot into the air. , and made a waving gesture towards the servant, meaning to get out of here.

The servant was so frightened when he saw the other man shooting and threatening him that he hurried back to the palace to report the news.

"Master, I saw that the streets were full of foreign soldiers. They seemed to be suppressing the ground." The servant reported what he saw to Yi Xin.

"Foreigners press the ground? Did you see clearly?"Yixin asked

"I saw it clearly. I was hiding in an alley and saw a group of foreign soldiers arresting people. When I came back, I met two foreign soldiers. Because I couldn't understand what they were saying, my slave looked at their gestures as if they were telling me to go home."It means" the servant said a lot

"Go down." After hearing this, Yi Xin asked him to step back.

""嗻" The servant went out.

The Kyushu soldiers blocked the street like this, and the father-in-law Guiliang couldn't go home for a while, so he could only stay in his son-in-law's Prince Gong's mansion temporarily.

Yi Xin looked at the father-in-law sitting opposite. Guiliang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. Although he was better at dealing with foreigners, the current situation was so confusing that he couldn't figure out who the Gauls were targeting when they came back this time. If they were targeting the Qing Dynasty, they might still be able to talk. But if it is against the"foreigners" of Zhou, it will be difficult. Does Yixin still need to mediate? Will Zhou and France listen to him? Just kidding, who is Yixin?

Jincheng The Gallic army continued to disembark, and it would take a long time for all the 100,000 troops and Ziyang to disembark in Tanggu. Lieutenant General Dean believed that the Kyushu soldiers might have deployed defenses in Jincheng, so he ordered the troops who had disembarked to immediately march towards the city. Launch an attack to clear out possible threats.

However, the troops were exhausted from the long voyage at this time. After the order was issued, the Gallic soldiers who had already landed complained, but they had to continue to perform the task.

Coincidentally, Ruphire, Henry and Co The three second lieutenants, Riget, all serve in the 25th Grenadier Regiment that has already landed. Compared to the latter two, Rufeier is very excited. He wants to show those two idiots what it means to have highly educated military talents..

Sure enough, the next few days were Rufei's show-off time. There were more than 10,000 Qing defenders in Jincheng, but these only had spears, oxtails, knives, shotguns, and at most a few red cannons. The Eight Banners and the Green Camp soldiers were no match at all, and they suffered heavy casualties in just one encounter. The

25th Grenadier Regiment, which had achieved a great victory, reported that the enemy had been cleared, and at this time follow-up troops were still coming ashore.

As for the Dagu everyone is talking about For the fort, when the Gallic fleet was approaching, the officers and soldiers of the fort blew up the cannons and escaped without firing a single shot. The

Gallic fleet was too powerful, and these few red cannons were for nothing.

Some people say that in real life, Dagu In the fort battle, the coalition forces were able to sink the opponent's steam gunboats. Why did they flee without fighting? But I would like to ask how many warships the coalition forces had in reality. And the Gallic fleet here only has ten battleship-class warships, and other cruise ships There are countless warships, gunboats, gunboats and armed transport ships. Let the Daku Fort take the lead.

It is no exaggeration to say that the scale of the Gallic fleet is now larger than that of the Corinthian War a few years ago. At that time, Gaul's opponent was Sand Goose. No one thought that the Qing Dynasty was stronger than Sand Goose at this time. The

Gallic Army that landed later began to advance into the city in search of campsites and then entered a ten-day rest period.

"Lieutenant Henry, do you see that war is that simple? As long as we are not facing Britain, other countries will not pose a threat at all." Rufeier began to pretend.

"Well, dear Rufeel, I hope you can still hold your head high like you do now when you really face the Zhou people." Henry spread his hands and said.

"I will, tell you Henry, those so-called Zhou people are no better than these dirty big-haired Qing people, even if they have rifles in their hands." Rufeier is determined to show off to the end

"God is my witness, you will change your stubborn mind," Second Lieutenant Henry said as he turned and left.

Rufei naturally would not listen to the mud-legged man, but he could only pretend for a few days, and soon the brutal battle would make him three The sight is ruined, the mouth is foaming, and there is no distinction between black and white; okay, this is a joke. But the upcoming brutal battle does teach highly educated military talents like Ruphire a good lesson.

Use the Gallic army to unload and rest At that time, the Kyushu Army in the capital had already begun to build fortifications on the main roads and some important buildings in the city. Artillery and machine guns were also in place one after another. They were just waiting for the Gallic army to come looking for death.

Outside the south city gate, two divisions of the Kyushu Army had also already arrived. Circular trenches were dug along the city wall and machine gun bunkers were built to prepare for the enemy.

"Commander, all our fortifications have been completed, and we guarantee that those foreign devils will die one by one, and a thousand will die by the thousand," Commander Fei said to Wang Duo.

""Okay, I absolutely believe in Commander Fei's ability," Wang Duo said.

"If I don’t win this battle, I will die of shame without the commander’s sanctions," Commander Fei promised.

"Okay, then my second brother and I are waiting for your good news in the Old Summer Palace," Wang Duo said

""Yes." Commander Fei stood at attention and gave a military salute.

Then Wang Duo returned the salute.

He returned to the temporary carriage in the Old Summer Palace.

"Eighth brother, how is the situation outside?" Wang Qi asked

"Second brother, the army is already in place, just waiting for the Gauls to come and die." Wang Duo took off his military cap and sat down.

"Well, it’s a pity that the emperor of this country has run away, otherwise I really want to invite him to the tower to see how the Gauls destroyed themselves," Wang Qi said

"He is as timid as a mouse. It is a pity for such a person to be the king of a country." Wang Duo said

"There is no way, who told him to have a good father?" Wang Qi said

"Second brother, I have a suggestion, I wonder if you want to hear it?" Suddenly, Wang Duo said

"Speak," Wang Qi said

"After fighting this battle, can we intervene in the civil war in the Qing Dynasty?" Wang Duo said

"What's the meaning? Which side do you want to help?"Wang Qi asked

"Help the Qing court to eradicate the long hair," Wang Duo said

"I think it’s better to forget it, the Qing court has the ability to defeat Changmao on its own." Wang Qi waved his hand.

"Then it's okay to send a small group of troops to help the Qing army," Wang Duo said.

"I think it’s best to ask my father for advice on this matter," Wang Qi said.

"I am the commander of the corps stationed abroad. If I ask my father for instructions on everything, then why should I do it?" Wang Duo said

"This matter is not urgent, let me think about it," Wang Qi replied.

Wang Duo's proposal to intervene in the Taiping War ended up being nothing.

Soon after, 30,000 Gallic troops marched eight thousand meters away from the south gate of the capital. The 25th Grenadier Regiment is among the 30,000 Gallic troops.

"Whoosh.. boom!"

"boom.. boom!"

The sound suddenly sounded around the Gallic army. This was the sound of the 105mm heavy artillery shells flying and exploding on the ground.

"Get down! Get down!"The Gallic army was in chaos, and the officers shouted

"boom.. boom!"The shells continued to fall, and they became more and more accurate.

The Gallic soldiers were overturned by the air waves of the explosion, and the shrapnel flew randomly, causing casualties to the Gallic soldiers.

"Damn it! What kind of firepower is this?" Rufei cursed while lying on the ground.

"Whoosh.. boom!"A cannonball dragged an air wave and exploded about a hundred meters away from Rufeel. The air wave rolled and affected Rufeel.

Although the air wave generated by the explosion was already at the end of the force, Rufeel still rolled sideways. Rolled to the side into a puddle

"Henry, the enemy's shelling is too fierce." Corrigat braved the artillery fire to find Henry.

"It was even more fierce than at Bali Bridge. Even if Napoleon came under such intensive artillery fire, he would have to flee in panic," Henry said

"What do we do now?" asked Corrigat.

"What else can we do, we can only crawl over?" Henry said

"Okay," Corrigat responded.

The two officers led their soldiers to crawl forward slowly.
