Ten minutes ago, Tie Liang, who received information that his hidden firepower point had been knocked out, personally brought his guards to the front line of Shahe to supervise the battle, and he knew the strength of the other party, and he also knew his strength.

His first town, the First Association, is indeed the most elite unit in the new army, but this is just the name of the imperial court, whether it is training or equipment, his troops are inferior to the Liaodong Army.

Looking at the equipment, there are Mauser rifles, 20 field guns, 30 Makqin, and countless grenades and mortars that are only equipped by Liaodong soldiers. Makqin is even more hands-free, the total number of Makqin in the whole town is only a little more than half of the family, let alone a brigade compared to others.

As for training, he can't say anything first, the Liaodong Army trains when he is full of food in a day, and his troops only train when there are big people, he knows that his first association can carry it here for two days, all because of the role of firepower, and now that the firepower point has been destroyed, he is really worried that the artillery bombardment of the Liaodong Army will end in a while. Will their own troops retreat on all fronts?

And the Yutian defense line is not completely completed, and he cannot retreat.

"My lord, Liao...... Liaodong Army." The general, who was observing the enemy's situation, pointed to the other side of the river, his fingers trembling, and his voice became anxious.

What is it to make one of his generals this virtue, Tie Liang, who was contemplating the map, looked at the general's hand.

"This madman, is the Liaodong Army a human being?" Taking a deep breath, Tie Liang suddenly threw down the Di Ah Bao in his hand and insulted the Liaodong Army in the distance.

He clearly saw that the Liaodong Army actually rushed up against the artillery fire that had not stopped.

This matter, he experienced it once in Lu Long, if it weren't for the Liaodong Army suddenly firing artillery when the two armies were fighting, and then the infantry followed up, he would not have given up Lu Long, and now he didn't expect that this Wang Shizhen would come to this set again.

It's just crazy, in the midst of anger, Tie Liang clenched his fists and closed his eyes at the same time, he knew that the defense line of Shaheyi was gone.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats to Yutian." After a long time, Tie Liang opened his eyes and stared viciously at the Liaodong Army that was crossing the river in the distance.

Years of combat experience told me that if I didn't retreat, and the Liaodong Army would pounce on me for a while, then the First Association would have to be thrown here, and in order to be able to save some seeds for the First Association, I could only retreat, and as for whether I would be blamed by the imperial court, that would be a matter for the future......

"Let the first standard cover, and the second and third standards immediately retreat." After thinking about it again, Tie Liang lightly gave the order, and this time, under the protection of the guards, ran to the back through the cover.

Beijing City, the sunset on the West Mountain, the blood-red remnant sun will reflect the golden splendor of the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace Kunming Lake, the cool autumn breeze blows the willows on both sides.

On the gazebo in the distance, Cixi sat there alone, quietly looking at the Buddha Xiang Pavilion in the distance in a daze. Li Lianying, who was on the side, saw Cixi's appearance, and she didn't dare to go up and disturb her, so she could only wait beside her in a proper manner.

Regret not at the beginning, a slight sigh, Cixi opened her eyes.

Now she really regrets why she listened to Rong Lu's words and cooperated with Tsarist Russia in the first place.

He had already gotten the reason why Liu Jun attacked the imperial court from Liaodong, that is, he cooperated with Tsarist Russia and said that he would give Jilin and Heilongjiang to Tsarist Russia after destroying Liu Jun, and it was precisely because of this incident that Liu Jun was completely angered, so that Liu Jun, who had always ignored the imperial court, suddenly launched an attack on himself.

Now she also understands that no matter how much she regrets it, she can't get it back, and now she says that she is thinking about when the army of King Qin from all over the country will arrive.

After receiving a telegram from Tieliang saying that Liu Jun was attacking, Cixi knew very well the strength of the blind north, so she immediately asked Guangxu to order garrisons from all over the country to come to King Qin, but now it has been a few days, except for Song Pan, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Zhao Erfeng, the governor of Sichuan, who have already sent troops after receiving the order, the rest seem to have no movement at all.

"Lafayette, Zhang Zhidong is here." Li Lianying saw Zhang Zhidong with a vicissitudes of life from afar, picking up the fold and walking over, and immediately whispered beside Cixi.

Hearing that it was Zhang Zhidong, Cixi smiled slightly, and now the court can only rely on him to support it.

"How is it, is there any news from Zhili?" As soon as she saw Zhang Zhidong coming over, Cixi asked lightly, she asked Zhang Zhidong to contact Li Hongzhang two days ago, and it is estimated that there is a result now.

Zhang Zhidong looked at Cixi, who was smiling and looking at him, he really didn't know how to answer, because his letter to Zhili was always like a stone ox entering the sea, there was no recovery at all, although he was not sure in his heart, but he was not far from ten, he thought that Li Hongzhang had surrendered.

"Lafayette, I'm afraid we won't be able to get any reinforcements from Zhili." Taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhidong still decided to say the result.

What does it mean? Cixi, who was still smiling just now, suddenly turned pale, in the absence of Zhili's reinforcements, this is really too scary, if this is true, then the imperial court is dangerous.

Not only is there no place to retreat, but even the road to the west may be cut off at any time.

"What you say, you're saying it again." Cixi took two steps back. Waving a trembling hand, he pointed at Zhang Zhidong, he didn't believe in Zhili. I don't believe that Li Hongzhang will treat himself like this.

Seeing Cixi's appearance, Zhang Zhidong hurriedly knelt down: "Old Buddha, I sent ten telegrams to Zhili in a row, asking Zhili to send troops to the king, but I have never received any reply, and. And." He didn't dare to say the rest of the words, saying that if he didn't make it, he would have to die here today.

"And what," Cixi didn't want to stop.

"According to intelligence from Baoding, a large number of Liaodong troops are landing in Tianjin."

With a flutter, Cixi sat down on the gazebo at once.

"The Liaodong Army landed in Tianjin, and the Liaodong Army landed in Tianjin." Stupid, Cixi is really dumbfounded, she is not stupid, from this information, she clearly knows that Li Hongzhang of Zhili is reversed.

"Bastard, two wide, two wide. What is the situation in the two Guangzhou? In the midst of her resentment, Cixi began to inquire about the news of Liangguang, after all, Li Hanzhang is Li Hongzhang's brother, and if there is a brother, there will be a brother.

"There is no news from the Liangguang side at present, but the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou has sent an urgent telegram that the troops of the two Guangxi provinces have been frequently mobilized recently, especially the 20,000 troops trained in Guangdong in Shenzhen, and they have landed in the Beibu Gulf under the escort of the Guangdong naval division.

Finished. Needless to say, the two wides are also reversed. Cixi suddenly felt a chill in her heart. Limps and limbs.

Now the Guangdong army does not advance eastward to guard against Liu Jun's rebels in the Fuzhou area, but transfers the troops to Guangxi, is this because he Li Hanzhang is stupid or has taken the wrong medicine. No, she guessed that Li Hanzhang was also like Li Hongzhang, a white-eyed wolf, who took refuge in Liu Jun.

"It's the other way around, it's all the other way around." When Cixi heard the news, she was furious and pushed everything on the table to the ground at once.

Cixi was angry, and immediately made the people around her kneel on the ground all of a sudden, and they didn't dare to come out.

Before his anger subsided, he saw Guangxu running towards this side, accompanied by the little eunuch.

"As the emperor, why don't you have any etiquette, what kind of system." Guangxu's posture was indecent, and he suddenly became Cixi's punching bag.

Maybe Guangxu was used to it, he didn't get angry, but knelt beside Cixi all of a sudden, and said in a trembling voice: "Dear Abba, I just received an urgent call from Tieliang, Shaheyi was lost, and the First Association has retreated to Yutian." ”

What the? Cixi is really hungry and going crazy, how much time has it been, and all she has received is such bad news, which is simply fatal.

Grabbing the telegram in Guangxu's hand at once, Cixi suddenly stared at the telegram above with wide eyes.

Retreat to Yutian, retreat to Yutian, the elite of the Qing Dynasty army retreated to Lulong, and retreated to Shaheyi, and retreated to Yutian, how to fight this battle, how to fight.

Putting down the telegram in her hand, Cixi sat weakly on the gazebo, and she calmed down.
