Chapter 672: Fighting Rakshasa Ghost [2 More]
However, Fang Xiaoyu was not affected by the slightest influence and walked hand in hand with Emperor Shi. Seeing the commander leaving, Fang Xiaoyu looked east and chuckled: "At this time, it can be confirmed that the coalition forces have a total of 30,000 elite troops. Although the number does not reach 50,000 as previously estimated, these coalition forces are all elite troops of various countries, and they should not be underestimated."
The First Emperor sneered: "It's just a group of mobs. If these 30,000 elite troops are a whole, then the people I gathered in a hurry may not be able to withstand it. However, this is just a coalition of eight countries. Although it is a coalition, it is the same intrigue and each has its own plans. It's good to have 10% of the power that can exert 60 or 70% of the power."
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the First Emperor and chuckled: "Unless your Majesty, you are fighting for losses, then you will be the teams that are less than half of the muskets, and you will be no match for the entire firearm army of the great powers."
When Fang Xiaoyu mentioned this, the First Emperor's expression changed. It can only be said that what the Qing court left to the First Emperor was a mess and there was nothing to do.
An army was not equipped with firearms. Seeing the power of firearms, the First Emperor understood more than anyone else that the mainstream of wars in the future would be firearms, and cold weapons would gradually withdraw from the war.
Looking at the army behind him, among the 50,000 elite troops, there were less than 20,000 people, 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry among them.
Mu Feng was a cavalry general under the First Emperor. This person was discovered by the First Emperor from his army. In a few years, he became the confidant general of the First Emperor and was appointed as the commander of the cavalry. It can be said that he was a powerful figure among the many generals under the First Emperor.
Looking back at the cavalry brigade behind him, Mu Feng was full of energy. He made up his mind to show his might in this battle no matter what, fortunately he made a contribution in front of the First Emperor.
In addition, many generals who had left their reputation in the late Qing Dynasty also went to war.
For example, Liu Mingchuan, Feng Zicai, Song Qing, Nie Shicheng and others, some of whom are only over 20 years old, but they have already made their mark in the army.
Gold shines everywhere, especially the First Emperor's military laws are strict and the rewards and punishments are clear, which makes it easier for these people to stand out, so many famous Qing generals emerged one by one and came into the sight of the First Emperor.
The army was not moving too fast. According to Fang Xiaoyu's estimate, the army and the Eight-Nation Alliance were likely to confront each other dozens of miles away from the capital.
Obviously, Emperor Shin-Emperor also realized this, so under the orders of Emperor Shin-Emperor, Mu Feng was leading a cavalry brigade to a critical site dozens of miles away, and building a position with the help of the terrain advantage.
At this time, the Eight-Nation Alliance also rushed towards the capital. With the help of the artillery carried on the ship, the Tianjin Guard easily blasted the defense of the Tianjin Guard. The Eight-Nation Alliance successfully landed, but the Qin generals who guarded the Tianjin Guard fought to the death. Even though they fought to the last person, no one fled or surrendered, which left a deep impression on the Eight-Nation Alliance.
As the commander of the coalition, Marquis Donald was busy reconciling the relationship between the eight countries. As Emperor First Emperor said, eight countries and eight thoughts were different, and it was difficult to work together. Some even started to argue there about how to distribute the interests after the war.
Tian Yi, Cynony Tam, was a Japanese general who led the 8,000 Japanese army to fight with him. At this time, he was arguing with a Spanish general there. As a Spanish colonel, Harris only led 300 soldiers to join the coalition and became a member of the coalition.
At this time, Tian Yi, Zhongxin and Harris were fighting there red. It was naturally to make them argue in such a way that they would share the benefits after breaking the capital.
Seeing that this continues, both sides are likely to stage a full martial arts movement and scold them: "Two, we have not yet captured the capital, and you are just arguing here. Isn't it ridiculous?"
The Russian general laughed and said, "Let them fight, everyone is bored, just to relieve us, right?"
Like France, the American generals couldn't help laughing when they heard the words of the Russian generals, and they were full of contempt for Tian Yi and the Caliph.
Although they are all members of the coalition forces, they are also divided into levels among the coalition forces. The strongest ones are naturally the Empire of Sun and Never Settling, followed by France, Russia, the United States, and countries such as Portugal, Spain, and Japan are clearly speculators who seize the opportunity and want to share the interests from the Qin Dynasty.
Seeing Tian Yi, CITIC and Caliph stopped, the Russian general Gudrev said to Donald: "Marquis Donald, we are less than a hundred miles away from us to Beijing. Should we let me lead the cavalry team to take the lead, maybe we can catch them off guard and take down Beijing directly?"
Donald frowned and looked at Gudref and said, "General Gudref, the Qin Dynasty must be prepared at this time. We don't have too many people. If we divide the troops, we may disperse our strength..."
Gudrev waved his hand and said, "It's just a corrupt dynasty. If my great Russian Empire hadn't been blocked by Siberia, it would have flattened the Qing court."
The extremely arrogant Gudref said: "Marquis Donald, that's it. My commander's army will take the lead. You are waiting for the good news that I will break through Beijing."
After saying that, Gudrev jumped out of the wide carriage, jumped on his body and headed straight for a cavalry team in the team.
This is a Kazakh cavalry of 3,000 people, and is an elite Russian cavalry. These cavalry are equipped with good sabers and short spears. They can be said to be armed to the teeth. In the entire Far East, there is probably no second such team.
The reason why Gudrev dared to say such words was that he was relying on this elite and powerful team.
If he could lead the army to break through Beijing, Gudrev knew that he would definitely be famous in Europe. At that time, His Majesty the Tsar would definitely reward him and transfer himself from this backward and ignorant country.
With a whistle, Gudrev stood before the three thousand Kazakh cavalry, waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm: "Soldiers, follow our soldiers to Beijing City, so that these wastes can see how powerful our Great Russian soldiers are."
"Ula, Ula"
Three thousand cavalrymen drew out their sharp sabers, stabbed the sky with their sabers, and then whipped the meditating war horses. The war horses immediately ran forward and followed Gudrev.
On the wide carriage, through the window, several generals watched Gudref's army leave arrogantly. French general Wales said gracefully: "A group of barbarians, since he wants to be the pioneer, let him go. Anyway, we are missing someone to explore the way, so let these headless polar bears test the reaction of the Qin Empire."
Donald and others had smiles on their faces. Obviously, their previous actions were deliberately for Gudrev to see. As a result, Gudrev was really excited and went to Beijing first. What he didn't expect was that Donald and others wanted was him to go to Lei.
If there is really any danger, then the first one who is unlucky will definitely be Donald, who will take the lead and the three thousand Kazakh cavalry team under his command.
The three thousand Kazakh cavalry team is actually optional for their coalition. Except for the eight thousand Japanese troops that were not equipped with sufficient firearms, the remaining infantrymen, mainly based on the Sun-Don't Settling Empire, France, the United States, etc., are equipped with firearms, and there are almost hundreds of artillery guns alone.
With such powerful strength, Donald and the others really don’t care much about Gudrev’s cavalry team. Even if it was the only mobile force in their coalition, it could save lives at critical moments.
However, Donald and others never thought of relying on cavalry to save their lives. In their opinion, they were the main attacking side this time, and it would be good if the Qin side could defend Beijing City. As for threatening their safety under the counterattack, it was simply a fantasy.
Since that's the case, why do you need cavalry? It's better to let Gudrefu test the reaction of the Qin Dynasty. This is the greatest value of Gudrefu and his team of cavalry.
In other words, Gudrev didn't know this, otherwise he would be furious. Of course, with Gudrev's pride, even if he really knew the plans of Donald and others, Gudrev would only sneer at it.
At this moment, Gudrev was galloping on his horse, and the three thousand Kazakh cavalry behind him also shouted and shouted. The army rushed, bringing smoke and dust all over the sky.
At the same time, Mu Feng, who was ordered by the First Emperor, also led the army to run wildly, and the two sides were only a few miles apart.
The forward sergeant of both sides discovered the other party immediately, and then passed by. Several sergeant fell off their horses and died in the first wave of confrontation.
However, both sides passed by again and ran away, without any intention of fighting again.
The cavalry marching, the smoke and dust are everywhere in the sky. As long as you are prepared, you can detect it in advance. At this moment, Mu Feng roared and stopped the soldiers and horses behind him.
It can be seen that this is an elite cavalry, completely reaching the level of orders being enforced.
He frowned and looked at the smoke and dust in front of him. Judging from Mu Feng's marching experience, there was definitely a cavalry in front of him. As for the scale, if it was about five thousand, he just didn't know what this cavalry team came from.
Just when Mu Feng was puzzled, the whistle in front of him came.
The whistle probe turned over and jumped down the horse, panting and said to Mu Feng: "General... General, something is wrong, and the enemy is found in front of him."
Mu Feng's eyes flashed in his eyes, staring at the whistle in front of him and said, "Let me tell me, who are the cavalry in front of him, and how many are there?"
