C2410 The two armies confronted each other (2/2)
The bayonet moved forward like a forest. The Royal Guard had never encountered such a provocation. They saw the determination in the eyes of these Chinese. They believed that these madmen would barge in.
”Cavalry, move forward and stop them!” No national army could get close to the British Empire's Congress! All Soldiers... ”Drawing the Saber!”
The three hundred cavalrymen blocking the road pulled out their sabers in unison. They probably hadn't thought that they would one day use force in their own capital from the day they joined the army.
”God, is this the beginning of something?” There were hundreds and thousands of citizens watching the show. When they saw this scene, they retreated in fright. Some of them even fell into the water near the river.
Xiang Ying ordered for the bayonets to be equipped, and the imperial guards for the guards to pull out their sabers. Everyone knew that they could not afford to be careless and use their cold weapons to intimidate each other, and they would be able to resolve the conflict when they got back at the negotiation table.
Ten meters, eight meters, five meters … Without the slightest hesitation, the sailors wielded their bayonets. The two formations came closer and closer.
At this critical moment, a war horse galloped down the street. A Chinese general on the horse shouted, ”Pass down the order of the Führer! Everyone stay where they are... Stand at attention! ”Take a break!”
The person who had come was Xing Xing Xuan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings s. This general who rarely spoke and did not smile was indeed able to suppress the crowd, causing the sailors to subconsciously stop and take a break.
The crowd quickly parted to make way for an alley, and Sima Yun's war horse continued to spin in front of the imperial guards and the navy soldiers, spitting out white foam from its mouth and nose.
”Who told you to distribute live ammunition? Nonsense! Are you all crazy! Everyone, retreat... Hand grenade! ”
”Immediately!” The Head of the Guards will be here in a moment.
Xiang Ying did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Sima Yun, the sailors could only obey the orders strictly, the bullets that were already loaded were all pulled back from the bolt on the spear, the good quality bayonets were all taken off as well.
The imperial guards were scared to the point that their bodies were covered in cold sweat. They hadn't observed the situation carefully, but now they realized that the Chinese were confronting them while their bullets were loaded. If they accidentally made a mistake, these imperial guards who relied solely on their sabers to defend themselves would be at a huge disadvantage.
Sima Yun alone relied on his stallion to cut off the enemies on both sides, suppressing the situation. Soon after, more and more carriages and horses galloped in from the streets.
”The Minister for Foreign Affairs has arrived … Minister of Finance to... The Crown Prince has arrived! ”
”Chinese leader arrives... The military police will immediately clear the area, and all unrelated citizens will be evacuated immediately! ”
Gladstone brought the Foreign Secretary, as well as the Empire's Field Marshal Yue Sefu. Wyrsley was the first to arrive at the scene, followed by a convoy of London policemen being pulled by military vehicles. The reinforcements had finally arrived.
When the Imperial Field Marshal saw the imperial guards wielding sabers, he was extremely furious. ”Who allowed you to draw your sabers!?” Idiot, don't you know there's a reporter here? ”
”All of them! Retracting his saber! Retreat! Let the police set up a cordon... ”
