After all, Bao Chao still couldn't stop Wang Huanzhang's thunderous and rainstorm-like crazy offensive, it turned out that Bao Chao thought that he and Wang Huanzhang should be about the same level, 20,000 Sheng troops, defending the city, even if they couldn't beat Wang Huanzhang's 50,000 new army, at least there was no problem in holding on for a month and a half.

What I didn't expect was that the Sheng army didn't hold out for even a day, and was completely collapsed by the new army, and the next morning, the Sheng army, which had held out for a day and a night, could no longer withstand the attack of the Seventh Army and had to withdraw from Jinzhou City in a hurry.

Bao Chao is still thinking about how to deal with Wang Huanzhang's tactics, but Wang Huanzhang doesn't care about any tactics and strategies at all, that is, he directly crushes it with strong strength, so that you have no way to resist It is like an elephant about to move forward with the rabbit in front of him

This is strength, this is absolute self-confidence under absolute strength

The Seventh Legion was completely crushing, leaving the Sheng army unable to resist and could only flee in panic.

Bao Chao thought that Wang Huanzhang would move some conspiracy and trickery, but he didn't know that the dignified and upright thunderous blow was the real supreme strategy, with absolute superiority in troops, with a crushing posture, to defeat the Sheng army, and take Jinzhou, which was enough to deter the entire Qing State, and even the 20,000 Sheng army was not Wang Huanzhang's opponent, so how to fight the next battle

After Jinzhou, whether it is Shengjing or Jilin and other cities, all the Qing troops have been frightened, the three eastern provinces are shaken, the Qing court no longer has the determination to resist, not at all, the first general of the Hunan army, the elite of the 20,000 Sheng army, is still vulnerable in front of Wang Huanzhang, so where did the Qing court get a stronger resistance to Wang Huanzhang's strength

The answer is no, absolutely not

Above the court, Yixin looked at Bao Chao who fled all the way back, his heart was full of bitterness, this is a famous general of the Qing Dynasty, one of the most relied on generals of Zeng Guofan, and he is still vulnerable in front of Wang Huanzhang

Next, it won't take long, six or seven days at most, Wang Huanzhang's army can advance from Jinzhou to Shengjing, what to do

Bao Chao, you keep saying that the Sheng army is unparalleled in combat strength, even in the face of the Tsarist army, it has the strength to fight, is it just a little more than a day, Jinzhou City is lost, and you still have the face to come back

Yixin gritted his teeth and roared.

Bao Chao knelt on the top of the main hall, his face was full of shame, and said in a low voice: Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are unwilling to work hard, it's really that the Chinese People's Army is too powerful, Wang Huanzhang's new army is equipped with a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns in a short period of time, and even the rifles equipped by the new army are the most advanced in the world, and the equipment of the Sheng army is too bad compared with the new army, and the 50,000 new army is surging forward, launching an attack with a thunderous momentum, there are more than 100 artillery pieces for the siege alone, and the tall city wall of Jinzhou is in front of the artillery, which is almost like paper. In just over an hour, our city wall was bombarded by heavy artillery, not to mention the minister's Sheng army, even if the real Tsarist Russian army rushed up, it was still not the opponent of the Chinese People's Army

Bao Chao is right, even if the Tsarist Russian army confronts the Seventh Army, the Seventh Army will have the upper hand, even if the military quality of the new army is worse than that of the Tsarist Russian army, but advanced weapons can completely make up for the gap in military quality, not to mention, the training morale and weapons of the Sheng army are at a disadvantage in all aspects

So what to do now Wang Huanzhang's army has already occupied Jinzhou, from Jinzhou to Shengjing, but more than 400 miles away, Wang Huanzhang's new army can be in the city in ten days at most, do you want us to surrender the city?

Yixin But no matter what reason Bao Chao had, now the Qing Dynasty has reached the brink of life and death, at most ten days, the Chinese People's Army will be under the city, what to do when the time comes, Jinzhou is vulnerable, then Shengjing is not strong, a wave of artillery bombardment, Shengjing will have to become a ruin, and then the jade will be burned

Li Hongzao, who was on the side, said in a low voice: Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if we want to protect the Qing Dynasty, at this time, we must use external forces

With the help of external forces

Yixin turned his head and asked in a deep voice: Li Zhongtang, how to use external forces, do you want Britain and France to come forward Now Britain and France are unwilling to deal with the Chinese Empire and let them put pressure on Tsarist Russia, they are barely okay, but let them put pressure on Guo Ye, they will definitely not help us, Guo Ye that guy is just a bastard, soft and hard, even if they come forward, they will have to touch the nail in the end, they will definitely not send troops to fight the Chinese Empire because of the Great Qing Dynasty

Yi is not stupid, on the contrary, Yi Xin is still very smart, otherwise he would not have become the leader of the late Qing Westernization Movement, think about it, he has already promised 200,000 square kilometers of land in Jiangdong to Britain and France, but, in the face of Guo Ye's huge pressure, Britain and France can only obediently give up Jiangdong, unwilling to fall out with the Chinese Empire, what more tempting conditions can they come up with than Jiangdong

Your Majesty, although Britain and France are unwilling to come forward, but the minister thinks that Tsarist Russia must be willing We can use the power of Tsarist Russia to fight against the Chinese Empire, as long as Tsarist Russia can help us repel Guo Ye's attack, then even if we pay the entire land in Jiangbei and Jiangdong, at least, the national fortunes of the Qing Dynasty have been continued, and when they lose both, we may not have no chance to turn the tables

Li Hongzao replied fiercely.

With the help of Tsarist Russia

Yixin was speechless for a while, this Li Hongzao really dared to think about it, it was completely to lure the wolf into the room, even if the wolf into the room could repel the Chinese Empire, how could it ensure that Tsarist Russia would not come to a false way to repel the Chinese People's Army, and at the same time, it was completely possible to destroy the entire Qing Dynasty

Li Zhongtang, you are luring a wolf into the room, the wolf ambition of Tsarist Russia is insatiable, and it is no better than Guo Ye

Zeng Guofan on the side replied.

Li Hongzao said dissatisfied: Zeng Zhongtang, then you have a good idea

This one

Zeng Guofan was choked by Li Hongzao and couldn't speak, he couldn't even come up with a bad idea now, facing the attack of 50,000 new troops, and now the Qing Kingdom has no ability to resist at all

Yixin was silent for a long time before he sighed: "That's it, even if this is a bowl of wine, I can only drink it first."

To be continued.
