The Counterattack of the Villains in the Movie World

Chapter 275 Who Surrounds Who in Ping'an County?
Haizhou.

At the newly built port, one troop transport ship after another docked. After putting down the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, they returned to the sea, but they did not go far, but were always waiting to pick up their soldiers.

It is impossible for a person to live on a ship all the time. The coalition forces of various countries who have traveled across the ocean have long been fed up with life on board. Even the Tsarist Russian soldiers who are relatively close to each other are also unwilling to live on a warship for a long time.

So when they get to the place, they must land.

But the landing does not mean that they will start a land battle with the Ming army. They will only stay near Haizhou, a newly built port of the Qing court. If the war is favorable, they will directly rush to the battlefield. I will definitely turn around and return to the warship to leave.

If the war comes to a stalemate, they will re-board the warship and head straight for Tokyo City.

Whether it was wanton looting for making war fortune, robbing the military industry of the Ming Empire, or copying the Ming army's retreat, only they themselves know.

"Is the news confirmed?"

John Watson's expression at this moment is very strange, not only him, but also the commanders of various countries in the headquarters have very strange expressions.

"It's confirmed, Emperor Zhao Wuji of the Ming Dynasty brought only 20 guards to the direction of the Qing court's capital, and the [-] troops from the Qing court's Jiangbei camp followed behind, but because Zhao Wuji's guards marched extremely fast, So I can't catch up."

This news was so strange to everyone present, so strange that they were too late to be shocked.

"Is this Zao Wou-ki a fool? Or is he dazzled by previous victories, just like Napoleon."

"He doesn't think that as long as he marches fast and captures the capital of the Qing Dynasty, then we will retreat directly?"

"Maybe it's because he thinks that as long as he defeats the Qing court's army and occupies the Qing court's capital, then the Qing court's army will be used by him. Hahaha...he is too naive, it can't be because of the Qing court Emperor Xianfeng also personally conscripted, so he thought everything would be fine if he captured Emperor Xianfeng?"

"Although Emperor Xianfeng also marched in person, he stayed in the rear, protected by 20 Qing court elites. The 2 troops led by Seng Gelinqin, the highest military commander of the Qing court, had already set up defense lines in Xuzhou and Suqian. It is impossible for Zhao Wuji to lead [-] people to rush to Emperor Xianfeng and catch him."

"We can take advantage of Zao Wou-ki's absence in Tokyo City and Nanjing City, and land directly from Tokyo City by boat to capture Tokyo City and Nanjing City. After all, that Zao Wou-Ki's martial arts is very high. If we fight him head-on, he will come and assassinate us. What should I do? Hahaha..."

"No, they have 15 troops defending the city. With our strength, it is difficult to capture Tokyo and Nanjing in a short period of time. Moreover, the Ming army's combat effectiveness is similar to that of our elite soldiers, and we have the advantage of fighting locally. It might even fail."

"It makes sense. The Ming army is not the Qing army, and its fighting power is similar to ours. To capture a city with 15 troops and millions of civilians guarding it, the loss is too great. After all, they can turn all the people into soldiers."

"If Zao Wou-ki is killed, then they will not be all soldiers, and they will even directly fight among themselves. Some people will want to join the Qing court, and some people will want to inherit Zao Wou-ki's throne. At that time , we can easily capture the shipyards and arsenals in Tokyo and Nanjing."

"Yes, and as long as Zao Wou-ki is killed, we will help the Qing court win this battle. At that time, the Qing court will have to directly pay us a huge amount of wealth and implement those treaties."

"Apart from those, our purpose is only shipyards and military factories. Therefore, we should first help the Qing court to get rid of Zao Wou-ki. Even, we should directly capture Zao Wou-ki. Only after we capture him can we know about him. Why can we have technology that surpasses ours."

The discussion in the headquarters slowly stopped.

As the commander-in-chief, John Watson did not participate in the discussion because he knew very well that although he was the commander-in-chief, he could not even command the British army under him in the face of huge interests involved.

"If we are going to kill Zao Wou-Ki, then we will have to leave Haizhou Port." John Watson said: "At that time, if someone captures the pier, we will completely lose our retreat."

Not all coasts are able to allow large ships to dock. The water depth is not enough and there are many reefs, and it is easy to cause ship crashes and fatalities.

"Who is going to copy our back? Only [-] of the Ming army have come, and the rest are all defending the city. If they want to dispatch, our spies in Tokyo City, Nanjing City, and other cities in the Ming Kingdom can all Pass on the news. And our sentinels can also find them in time. As long as they dare to come, we dare to retreat, what are we afraid of?"

"It can't be the Qing court who came to copy our retreat, hahahaha..."

"Hahaha... That's right, the Qing court is the least likely to start a war against us. If they dare to do so, then they will only end up in perishment, and the Qing court is absolutely unwilling to give up their power and status. "

"Yes, we don't need to worry about this problem at all, because we can advance and retreat."

"If you're really worried, you can leave some people at the port. You don't need too many, tens of thousands of people are enough. Anyway, we have a lot of troops."

John Watson sighed in his heart, and then said: "Since this is the case, then we will go to Xuzhou and Suqian to join the soldiers and horses of the Qing court. At that time, we will hold the formation in the rear and let their people go first." .Anyway, as long as we win we can get what we want."

"Well, that makes sense. Let's watch from the back and let the people of the Qing court fight. If it's just facing 2 people, the Qing court should have no problem? Hahaha... I don't know if Emperor Xianfeng is going to die right now, If he knew that Zao Wou-ki was coming to beat him with only 2 people, he definitely wouldn't ask us for help."

"No, because he should be very clear that without us, Zao Wou-ki would not do this, because without us, Zao Wou-ki would not need to defend the city."

"But he will definitely be very angry, because we will take a lot of benefits for nothing, hahaha..."

"Okay." John Watson interrupted everyone's laughter and said, "Let's start mobilizing troops."

……

Xuzhou Daying.

Emperor Xianfeng, with an army of [-], was also laughing loudly when he saw the various battle reports in front of him.

The generals and civil servants around him also laughed.

But everyone laughed in a completely different way.

The former is laughing that the Qing Dynasty is going to die, and the coalition forces of various countries are going to die, while the latter is laughing that the Ming Empire is going to die, and Zao Wou-ki is going to die too.

"Pity."

Emperor Xianfeng sighed.

A sensible subject said, "Your Majesty, it's a pity that you gave too much reward to the Four Kingdoms? That's true. If I knew that Zhao Wuji was so Meng Lang, there was no need to invite them to send troops."

Emperor Xianfeng was noncommittal, and said: "Since Zao Wuji has already occupied Huai'an County and has not moved his troops, let the order go on and the whole army will go to Suqian. Let Seng Gelinqin lead his troops to set up camp ten miles south of Huai'an County to separate Zhao Wuji from Daming. Inform the Allied Forces of the Four Nations and let them set up camp ten miles east of Huai'an County. After I arrive in Suqian, I will go to set up camp ten miles north of Huai'an County. Lei Yicheng and Shengbao will set up camp ten miles west of Huai'an County."

"No, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, if I wait ten miles to the north of Huai'an County, that traitor Zhao Wuji will definitely lead an army to assassinate His Majesty."

"The son of a thousand pieces of gold can't sit still, Your Majesty has a body of gold, and all he needs to do is wait for the news of victory in the rear."

"Your Majesty can stay at Daying in Xuzhou. If you go to Daying in Suqian, it will only be more than 100 miles away from Huai'an County. The rebel Zhao Wuji's martial arts is the best in the world, and he can go back and forth within half a day of more than 100 kilometers. Your Majesty's safety is very important."

"His Majesty……"

"enough!"

Emperor Xianfeng glared at the crowd and said: "I am the son of destiny, and now the imperial conquest is not hesitating to die, but you are actually stage-frightened and afraid of death?"

The officials knelt down, pleading guilty and denying Sanlian, but they just didn't agree with Emperor Xianfeng going to Huai'an County, and even refused to let Emperor Xianfeng go to Suqian Daying.

Emperor Xianfeng looked troubled.

It's not that it's embarrassing how to persuade his subordinates, but that he can't understand that Wu Yan can directly march north with 40 guards, but he has 40 troops and [-] elite Qing troops to support him. [-] four-nation coalition forces.

Why don't these people dare to let themselves go?

In other words, why don't these people dare to approach the battlefield?

Sure enough, he deserved to die.

"I have an army of 50, and Zhao Wuji came to assassinate me, so he will never come back, the best in martial arts in the world? Don't I have any masters under my command?"

As if to confirm Emperor Xianfeng's words, thirteen top masters who were named the Thirteen Taibao stood up at the same time.

They were all guards hired by Emperor Xianfeng in the past three years, each of them had a great reputation in the Jianghu, and their martial arts had also been seen by the high-ranking officials of the Qing court.

"If Zhao Wuji dares to lead troops into battle, let Seng Gelinqin, Shengbao, Lei Yicheng, and the Allied Forces of the Four Nations directly surround them. Without the power of the city wall, Zhao Wuji can still fly 2 people into the sky Can't escape?"

Justified.

Emperor Xianfeng finally said: "I have finished speaking, who agrees? Who objects? Those who oppose stand up and let me have a look."

After saying this, all the standing guards including the Thirteen Taibao also knelt down.

Emperor Xianfeng still had enough power to kill them.

Everything was set, and the soldiers and horses of the Qing court began to be mobilized on a large scale.

The Allied Forces of the Four Nations could have completely ignored the order of Emperor Xianfeng, but no matter how they looked at it, this military order did not cause any loss to them.

They don't believe that the Ming army will choose to deal with them who are the most difficult to deal with. Even if the Ming army wants to break through after being besieged, it must go to the Qing army to break through. If they want to assassinate the high-level military, they must first assassinate Xianfeng emperor.

As for the reinforcements from the Ming army coming?

They still say that, when the situation is not right, they turn around and leave, saving their strength for the future.

However, the coalition forces did not believe that there would be any accidents. After all, they had 35 troops, while the Ming army only had 2.

Thus, the real 85 troops rushed directly to Huai'an County, where Wu Yan was located, and surrounded the city with a distance of ten miles.

The Allied Forces of the Four Nations dispatched only 30 people, leaving 3 people in Haizhou Port and 2 people on board.

After the encirclement was completely completed, everyone felt a sense of certainty in their hearts, whether it was the Allied Forces of the Five Nations surrounding Huai'an County or the Ming Army who were besieged in Huai'an County.

Did not see the expected breakout of the Ming army, and the Allied Forces of the Five Nations were still a little uneasy, but the spies from all parties confirmed 15% that the [-] Ming regular troops in Tokyo and Nanjing still had an attitude of defending the city, and they were not at all. Nothing moves.

In other places ruled by the Ming Dynasty, there was no organized troop mobilization. It was as if the Ming Dynasty had forgotten their Emperor Zao Wou-Ki, and even prepared to watch their Emperor Zhao Wuji be killed by the coalition forces. manner.

As a result, the coalition forces breathed a sigh of relief and began to discuss how to attack by force.

The Qing court would definitely not take the lead in attacking the city, requiring the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to take the lead in attacking the city in accordance with the previously signed treaty.

The coalition forces also didn't want too many casualties among their own people. After all, it was a siege battle. Even if it was 35 vs. [-], considering the combat power of the Ming army, killing one hundred and eighty thousand of them didn't seem to be a big problem.

The defenders already had a great advantage.

While the two parties were pushing each other, Wu Yan, who looked like a "trapped beast" to almost everyone except the guards, was changing his name.

"After this battle, the land of China will inevitably be unified, and the [-] million people of Ming Dynasty should enjoy peace and joy."

Wu Yan said to Annie, Gongsun Zan and others beside him, "So, starting today, Huai'an County will be renamed Ping'an County."

The historian next to him who specialized in recording the emperor's words and deeds and other matters took a pen and began to write on paper.

"In the fourth year of Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, His Majesty changed the name of Huai'an County to Ping'an County. He said that after this battle, the land of China would be unified, and the 85 million people of Ming Dynasty should enjoy peace and joy... His Majesty personally led the battle of Ping'an County. The [-] guards were surrounded by a total of [-] allied forces from the Qing court, the British Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the French Empire, and the Tsarist Russian Empire in Ping’an County. Why did this happen? It’s all because of your majesty’s greed and arrogance..."

"stop!"

Wu Yan looked at the official historian's record openly, and even interrupted the official historian who was writing quickly without respect, saying: "What you wrote here is wrong."

The historian was stunned for a moment, and looked carefully at the words he had recorded, but found nothing wrong, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with my subject? If Your Majesty wants my subject to delete the comments that are greedy for meritorious deeds and arrogance, you can do so." No need, because the history of later generations must be worse than the minister's comments. Your Majesty, please respect the historian and history."

As a historian, you still have a lot of backbone.

Gongsun Zan next to him was furious instantly, and was about to stage a good show of beating the official historian, but was stopped by Wu Yan.

Frightened by Gongsun Zan who wanted to hit him, the historian took several steps back, and dropped the pen and paper in his hand to the ground.

Wu Yan picked up the thread-bound historical records, pointed to one of them with a smile and said, "I mean this is wrong."

Seeing that Wu Yan stopped Gongsun Zan, but did not intend to kill him, the historian stepped forward cautiously a few steps, bowed to Wu Yan's side and looked at the place where Wu Yan pointed: His Majesty personally led the 85 guards, In Ping'an County, surrounded by... [-] troops.

The historian said in a daze, "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong here?"

"Of course it's wrong." Wu Yan said with a smile: "How can you say that I was surrounded? Obviously I surrounded them, so I changed it."

The historian was dumbfounded.
