The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 136 The Son of Heaven Guards the Gate of the Country

Wu Yan, who has only 5 people, will definitely not be able to defeat 30 people.

Even among the 5 people, there are more than 5000 muskets.

Even among the 30 troops on the opposite side, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's 15 troops may not necessarily fight anyone.

Even if the Qing court had a total of 13 troops, the 2 men led by Lei Yicheng and Sheng Bao could be regarded as Wu Yan's soldiers, and the [-] Xiang army led by Zeng Guofan might also be Wu Yan's men.

Under normal circumstances, Wu Yan still couldn't win.

The reason is that the 100 British, French and American coalition forces have hundreds of artillery pieces, and their range and power exceed the more than [-] artillery pieces currently owned by Wu Yan.

Wu Yan, who originally only had more than 50 sub-cannons, after occupying Tokyo, naturally also got the artillery of Tokyo City, but the artillery of Tokyo City is a city defense artillery. Although it is a heavy artillery, it is difficult to move, and the area that needs to be defended Also big.

In this case, the allied forces of Britain, France and the United States only need to bring their artillery within the effective range, and they can fire wildly without pressure.

They can hit Tokyo City from many directions, but the artillery of Tokyo City cannot hit them.

If you want to take the field cannon out of the city to get closer, or let the cavalry charge the artillery camp of the coalition army, you will encounter artillery attacks from the coalition army and the Qing court in the process, and you will also be intercepted by tens of thousands of troops.

"There is a word in Huaxia called retribution."

On a city wall to the west of Tokyo City, the captured British Minister Wen Han actually laughed, looked at Ming Wudi Zhao Wuji next to him and said, "Your retribution has come."

The American Minister Marshall, who is also a prisoner, also smiled and said: "General Zhao, when you used artillery against us before, did you ever think about such a day? Oh, sorry, I forgot that you have already rebelled. Now that you have ascended the throne and proclaimed yourself emperor, you should be called His Majesty the Emperor, but I don’t know how long you can keep your status as Emperor?"

Of course it is 1 years.

Wu Yan also laughed at the ridicule of the two foreign ministers, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"

Ma Shali said very confidently: "Don't say that there is a large army outside, even if there is no one, you will not kill us, because we who are alive will always be more valuable than us who are dead."

This is true.

The status of ministers is their umbrella, not to mention the great powers at this time, even when the Qing court was weak, the ministers of the Qing court were not killed by the great powers.

When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, and when the Qing government declared war on 11 major powers, the ministers of the Qing court lived well in each country, and even kept asking for high-level officials from various countries.

The two countries will not kill each other, even if they are captured, they will use their identities as much as possible.

In contrast, they are worthless when they are dead, and will arouse even greater indignation from the enemy.

"Well said."

Wu Yan nodded, and then said: "So, I decided to tie you all to the city wall. In this case, if your army bombards my city wall with artillery, you, the five thousand captives, and even everyone in Tokyo will be killed. Foreign merchants will die with my walls."

The faces of Wen Han, Marshali and others changed drastically in an instant.

Although the walls of Tokyo City are very long, they have 1 captives, plus the foreigners in Tokyo City, it is not much less than [-] people.

Even 1 people can't block all the city walls, but who knows where he will be tied?

Cannon fire has no eyes, and death without a whole body is inevitable.

"You can't do that."

"I can do that."

"I protest."

"Protest is ineffective."

"I want to negotiate, you let me out of the city, I can let the coalition forces withdraw."

"You think too highly of yourself."

Seeing that Zhao Wuji is determined to use their flesh and blood to defend the city wall, and even put them in the army formation, so that the coalition forces will be afraid to fire. Wen Han, Marshali and others are really afraid .

"Your Majesty, please tell us, what should we do?"

Your majesty, this shout is really affectionate.

British Minister Wen Han, even when calling their Majesty the Queen, was never so emotional.

But the His Majesty they speak of is a true egoist who has no humanity at all in front of interests.

"You can shout to your army: fire at me. I believe that if you have the courage, you will be rewarded by your country even if you die."

What's the point of a dead reward?
Wen Han, Marshali and others were in a panic, and Marshali had an idea: "But even if this is the case, you can't keep the city of Tokyo forever. The Qing court and our coalition forces, as well as our naval fleet, can hold the land. You can't get any resource supplies from the three roads of the ocean, the ocean, and the Yangtze River. Judging from the population and material reserves of Tokyo City, you can only last for three months at most, and you must implement military control over the whole city, but this will cause Arouse public anger. Your Majesty, you are drinking poison to quench your thirst."

Wu Yan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The idioms are used well, and the analysis of the situation is also very good, so I decided that when there is no meat to eat in Tokyo, I will share the food with all of you."

Wen Han, Marshali and the others felt the urge to urinate in an instant and were frightened.

In their eyes, the people of the Qing Dynasty were far more advanced than the Indians. They were a truly civilized society, but war and hunger could definitely turn a civilized society into a primitive society and human beings into animals.

Although human beings are originally animals.

But when humans still maintain their identity as humans, they will not eat people, and when humans transform into animals, let alone cannibalism, they can do even more cruel things.

So here comes the problem. There are more than 4000 captives in Tokyo, plus those foreigners who have not been arrested, but their freedom is restricted. There are also [-] in total.

How long is enough to eat?

How many people is enough to eat?
Was he killed and eaten, or was he starved to death and eaten?
Charles is someone who has seen big scenes. Although he has no official status now, the representative of foreign businessmen in Tokyo City also has strong energy, so although he was also frightened, he still resisted and said: "Your Majesty , what do you want us to do?"

This question brought the panicked Wen Han, Marshali and others back to their senses.

After pondering for a while, Wu Yan said: "I want you to inform your coalition forces so that they can attack my Tokyo city from here."

here?

Charles, Wen Han, Marshali and others looked around.

Tokyo is so big that it is naturally impossible to be completely surrounded by city walls, and after the emergence of artillery, the role of city walls is much smaller than before.

This so-called city wall can actually be understood as a defensive area for the garrison. If you want to attack Tokyo City from this direction, you have to capture and destroy this defensive area, otherwise you will be pinched from inside and outside.

Charles looked to the west.

From the perspective of the city wall, the few miles within sight are open plains, unlike other directions in Tokyo City, there is an outer city outside the city wall, and there are many residential areas.

"You want to confront them head-on here?" As a retired general, Charles said after a little analysis in his mind: "It doesn't make any sense. It is impossible for your cavalry to charge into their artillery camp. The gunmen also cannot threaten them, and this kind of plain area is more conducive to their mobilization of heavy artillery. Once they enter the effective range, they will not hesitate to open fire here. Even if the city wall cannot be completely destroyed, the city wall The defensive soldiers inside and outside will all be killed by artillery."

The power of the artillery is really great, not to mention the artillery of the Allied Powers, even the artillery of the Qing court is very powerful.

Flesh and blood can't resist the artillery at all, and the city wall can't protect the defending soldiers.

But Wu Yan said: "Either let them come here to fight, or you will be tied to the city wall, and then you will be divided and eaten by people who are about to starve to death."

Wen Han, Ma Shali and others who had no right to choose sent messengers after a little discussion.

Usually they look down on the post of messenger, but now they all want to be a messenger, but Wu Yan doesn't let any one go, and only let those ordinary mercenaries go forward to deliver the letter.

As for whether the coalition forces will believe it, that is a question for Ma Shali and others, and has nothing to do with Wu Yan.

Ma Shali and others were also very afraid of death, so they searched their brains and wrote many letters with threats and pleadings.

After the coalition forces received these letters, they also had no choice.

In fact, they already have a tactical plan. It is nothing more than letting the navy bombard the coast of Tokyo City, and the army bombards the walls of Tokyo City with garrison troops. Well, they don't want to charge into battle and be shot to death or even hacked to death in street fighting.

But this tactical plan has a big problem, that is, it is difficult to rescue hostages and prisoners.

Nearly [-] foreigners were controlled in Tokyo, severely restricting their actions.

Although they don't mind the death of some compatriots, and then make the Qing court pay a higher price, they can't die too much.Moreover, those businessmen are all very powerful and powerful. Ministers like Wen Han and Ma Shali must not die under their fire.

After some discussion, they waited for nearly half a month before they made a final decision.

"Then bombard the west city wall of Tokyo City." The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces said: "As long as there are no people from us on that city wall, we will bomb it. In addition, let the soldiers and horses of the Qing court sweep the formation to prevent the champion army There are cavalry charging our camp. But don't let them get too close, if they get too close to us, we will shoot them directly."

The order was issued, and the [-] coalition forces took [-] heavy artillery pieces to the west wall of Tokyo City.

Although they have more than this many cannons, it is enough to hit only one city wall. Since heavy cannons are called heavy cannons, they must be very heavy, and it is extremely inconvenient to transport.

And following the actions of the coalition forces, all parties also moved accordingly. Many sentries ran to watch the battle nearby to obtain information, and even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sent some sentries over.

The scouts were very courageous. Riding alone, they even ran to a place about 200 meters away from the city wall. In their knowledge, they were absolutely safe at this distance. If someone came to arrest them, they would Enough time to ride and run back.

As a result, the scouts all discovered a scene that shocked them extremely.

The gate in the city wall was completely open, and there were not many defending soldiers on the city wall. Only a large flag was erected on the highest point. It was the Nine Dragon Flag, also called the Dragon Flag. Only the emperor is qualified to raise such a banner.

And the emperor of Tokyo City can only be Zhao Wuji, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the dragon flag representing the emperor, but also a big flag embroidered with the character of Zhao.

Not to mention the scouts of the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even the scouts of the coalition army know it. This is the tooth flag of the champion army. The tooth flag represents the commander of the first army. It means the coach is gone.There is also a general flag, which represents the surname of the general.

Before Zao Wou-ki cut the general to capture the flag, what he chopped was the tooth flag and the general flag.

So, Zao Wou-ki is on the city wall right now?
Isn't he afraid of death?
Is he really like what he said in his proclamation, he must take the lead in every battle?
The scouts actually had mixed feelings. On the one hand, they felt that Zao Wou-ki was too idiotic to run to the city wall in front of sixty cannons.

On the other hand, they had great admiration for Zao Wou-ki, and it was understandable for them to take the lead in every battle before ascending the throne as emperor, but Zao Wou-ki had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, so he still did this.

How happy it would be to be able to fight under Zao Wou-ki.

As for the dragon flag and the tooth flag, Zhao Wou-ki is not there, just to play an empty-handed trick for the coalition forces, not to mention that the scouts think it is impossible, those coalition forces, the Qing army, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, etc. Also feel impossible.

Because it doesn't make any sense to do so.

"This Zao Wou-ki, he must have watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" too much, right?" The commander of the British, French and American Allied Forces laughed and said, "If Sima Yi had as many cannons as I did, Zhuge Liang would be playing the piano alone on the city wall. , even if Zhuge Liang is dancing on the city wall, he will hit him directly."

This is obviously a foreign general who has watched "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"However, Zao Wou-ki can be considered a man of faith. He really didn't use our men to defend the city wall. Then, let the artillery continue to advance. After reaching the effective range, I will give Zhao Wou-ki a chance to surrender."

The effective range of these coalition artillery is said to be 500 meters, but in fact it is only 400 meters. It is like the Mauser G98 made by Wu Yan, which is said to have an effective range of 800 meters. Meters are not enough, let alone reach the scale range of 200 meters.

Therefore, they need to advance to a place about 400 meters away from Tokyo City.

At this moment, the artillery camp and the coalition musketeers protecting them are still 900 meters away from Tokyo City.

In this era, this distance is an impassable moat.

However, just as everyone waited patiently for the sound of gunfire, the gunfire rang out first.

Many scouts are stunned. Are the people in Tokyo crazy?

How could it be possible to reach the distance of a little more than two miles? Is it a waste of ammunition, or are you planning to fight your own scouts?
The panicked scouts rode their horses to move, but they didn't find anyone shot and fell to the ground at the scouts.

Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was Zhao Wuji, Emperor Wuji of the Ming Dynasty who was above the city wall, shooting.

The reason why the distance of hundreds of meters was able to be separated was that Zao Wou-ki shot at the highest point of the city wall, only because the person who shot was wearing a dragon robe and wearing a crown of black gauze wings, with the dragon flag and Zhao Ziya behind him. flag.

Zao Wou-ki is crazy?
Still knowing that the city wall will be blasted down soon, so it is a fluke to be able to fire a shot, so he fired a few shots first to prove the sentence he said in the essay: The emperor should guard the gate of the country.

Then, he used his own death to prove the sentence he said in the proclamation: The king should die in the community?
That is, when the scouts were puzzled, they suddenly saw some uproar and confusion among the advancing coalition artillery units.

what's the situation?
