C186 The battle is getting more and more difficult (1/2)
The foreign devils who were throwing explosives at the north wall of the yamen were obviously Ma Xiu and Mike, who were just spectating for the fun of it. These Americans, whose minds were filled with western cowboy heroism, loved to get involved in this kind of violent conflict.
”Shaw, what's wrong? Hurry up and get up, this is not like you, who was the tyrant. I still have a clear memory of you charging into the battlefield, why did you have to deal with such a mistake today? ”
Mike still wanted to keep up the act, but Xiao Letian got up and scolded loudly, ”Stop bullshitting me. At that time, my wife wasn't even there, and now someone is trying to harm my wife. Don't you guys take it seriously …” With that, he wiped the blood off his nose and rushed forward again.
Ma Xiu and Mike looked at each other and laughed before they shrugged and quickly followed along. Their physical fitness was not bad, and as they ran, they even loaded and chatted with each other.
Xiao Letian was not the only one who was anxious. On the west side of the Tanggu City, on the official road, an intense quarrel had already lasted for a quarter of an hour. The surrounding soldiers were all dumbstruck.
”Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun... What did you two say? [You two actually want to disobey my orders? F * ck your ancestors …] ”I'll beat the two of you to death for your lack of conscience …”
Tie Toutuo, whose back was covered with bandages, rushed forward like a madman. A small jar of iron fists covered his head and face, and smashed forward. The surrounding guards quickly blocked his way, hugging his waist, tugging at his arms, pulling him away with all they could muster.
How could Tie Toutuo not be angry when he had come to report? He never expected that Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun would reject his order even after meeting for a bit. They did not care about the life and death of their lord, and actually did not turn back a single soldier.
”Tuotuo, calm down and listen to what I have to say. Right now, our two companies only have 180 people, and we are facing Purging Demons with a total of 1500. Don't think that our guns are powerful, the number of enemies are enough to make up for the difference … ”
”Of course we know that sire is in danger, but sire is only facing a few dozen death warriors. Besides, with sire's intelligence, there is no way he can't have a way to deal with it. ”If we divide our forces right now, we can't be sure if we can save the lord, and we can't be sure if we can eat the enemy in front of us …”
”Tuotuo, open your eyes and take a good look at the situation on the battlefield. The enemies are hiding in the sewers and the guns cannot hit them. The battle is about to begin, how can we be separated? Do you really think that the war is a joke?”
When Tie Toutuo heard this, he flew into a rage, ”Bullshit, you're all bullsh * tting! ”I don't care what happened to you, I just know that you're in danger right now. If you don't save me, that's treason. I'll cut off all ties with you two …”
”They retreated when faced with such a small amount of Purging Demons? Don't you think about how we didn't step back when we were faced with a hundred thousand thugs? We relied on the victory we obtained by killing them all the way. Could it be that it was even bigger than the night with the Ryukyu! ”
Xiao Hexin was so angry that his telescope almost fell off. ”Are you stupid? Is Ba and Tanggu the same place? This was a vast and boundless continent, and there was a lonely island. How can we compare? ”
”What kind of place is the Tanggu? It was the place where the British and French combined forces forcefully opened the Qing Dynasty's gate, the place where they were forced to open the port, the place the Qing Dynasty valued the most. There are already 8,000 cavalry in TIANJIN Wei, and there are too many infantry. As long as they move, they will arrive here in less than two hours. ”
”We are facing the entire Great Qing Dynasty, not the weak ones. If we do not quickly finish off the reinforcements from the Purging Demons, how can we resist? Even if we have the courage to fight, how much of a ammunition base do we have? It's enough for us to fight for a few days.
Tie Toutuo fainted from Xiao Hexin's and Sima Yun's curses, he was so angry that his eyes turned black, ”I don't care, I just know that Master is in extreme danger now, Sun Sanhu's Death Soldiers have already surrounded him, Master is already standing alone without help, without Master, what can we count as?
Tie Toutuo's words moved everyone, ”Think about it carefully, what were we doing last year at this time? Some of you are bandits of the Taihang Mountains, some are green forest people who live in the Jianghu, and some are ordinary citizens of the Naha Harbor. Who changed your destiny? ”Think about it …”
”It's the Mr. Xiao, our Master Xiao, the Prime Minister Xiao's Prime Minister Xiao! Without Xiao Letian, what do we count as … … Are you all really going to be ungrateful! ” After saying that, Tie Toutuo pointed to the two Company Commander s in front of him and coldly said.
”You and I have known each other for close to ten years, so I'll give you a word of advice without making any mistakes. Don't you think about how you would save the Lord if you don't send troops today? What will the adults think of you two in the future? What will our colleagues think of you two? Do you two still want to be subordinates of an adult? Do any of you know what loyalty is … ”
Tie Toutuo's words were a little harsh, but the faces of Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun were both pale white, and their hands were trembling from anger.
”Tie Toutuo, you don't need to use such words to provoke us. If Mr. Xiao was such a petty person, we wouldn't have followed them all the way. We believe that when the crisis is over, our lord will understand our difficulties and appreciate our decision … ”
Tie Toutuo did not care about the enemies being in front of him, and shouted loudly while jumping, ”Brothers, did you hear that? Your Company Commander actually didn't save anyone, and didn't even care about Prime Minister Xiao's life! ”Don't listen to their nonsense. Soldiers who are loyal to our lords, come back with me. We'll go save Lord Xiao …”
All of the Queue length, squad leaders and soldiers started whispering to each other. They subconsciously felt like they were going to follow Tie Toutuo, but the strict military order had already given them a feeling of inertia, they did not dare to leave, but they were not willing to do so.
