It turns out that in fact, Ergin's so-called strategy is still wrong, Ergin did not choose the direction that did not catch fire, but ordered the British and French troops to bravely break through in the direction of the fire, in the breakthrough, countless people were burned, and two unlucky eggs were crushed to death by the fallen chastity archway, at this time Wu Yundi and others had already retreated, returned to the camp and fell asleep, he was still charging in the fire, fortunately Ergin did not know that the direction that did not catch fire only some trips, traps, and some iron fragments, Otherwise, he would have to admire his wise decision-making even more.

A group of people followed Ergin and stood by the river in disgrace, rushing towards the river to wash their faces and drink water, Ergin couldn't stop drinking, and the soldiers who were on guard had already dispersed, and a few people drank the river water and there was nothing unusual, so they let everyone move at will.

The herald poured a pot of water into Ergin, and Ergin didn't care about the fact that many people had just died in the river yesterday, so he drank several sips, and the herald came with depressing news, and Ergin was suddenly very depressed, "Lord Earl, we don't have much food. ”

Ergin glared at the hapless herald, resisted the urge to replace the uninteresting brainless herald, waved him down, and said to Gro, who was smoked like a black bear, "Your Excellency, we don't have much food. What to do? ”

"The follow-up grain route is estimated to have been cut off by the Chinese, and the announcement came out, so the shameless acts of robbery, sneak attack and killing will be officially confirmed by the Chinese government, and anyone who kills without breaking the law will be happy," Gro said helplessly, "Our grain road is very dangerous, judging from the news that we have lost Tongzhou in three days, the situation is very bad, Mr. Earl, although our warships are powerful, they can't drive on land, and there are crowds of people here, all enemies!" ”

"All the people are enemies...... Ergin shuddered, and then cheered up again, "It's okay, Mr. Minister, although there are many of them, we can also requisition food on the spot!" Just like when we were in Tongzhou before, when all the villages and towns were captured, we had the strength to attack Beijing when we prepared food, didn't we? Food wasn't a problem, but luckily we had plenty of gunpowder! Ergin smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to be this coach for 100,000." ”

"Yes!" Gro was also furious, "These damn Chinese, as long as I meet them again, these yellow-skinned monkeys, I must kill them first!" The interpreter on the side hurriedly walked away.

A group of depressed Anglo-French troops went on the road again, Ergin for the safety of the native soldiers, deliberately let the Indian musketeers tied with white cloth bags as the vanguard to open the way, the Indians were very aggrieved, but the Indians practiced the religion of seeking good fortune in the next life, this time in addition to silently praying in the heart to repair a good fetus in the next life, it is best to reincarnate in England, to be a red-haired and white-skinned person who drinks afternoon tea and basks in the fog of London, can only go forward honestly.

However, the march for half a day, it was surprisingly smooth, Ergin also relaxed his vigilance, facing the early autumn scenery of the official road near the left of Tongzhou, the poetry was prosperous, and made a sonnet, the pro-soldiers on the side were amazed, patting the sycophants, making the atmosphere of the scene smelly, Ergin was laughing, and the herald in front came to tell again, "Several carts of grain and grass were intercepted on the side of the road!" The peasants who were escorting the grain and grass saw our army slaughtering us, and hurriedly dispersed and fled. ”

Ergin was overjoyed, and was about to call someone to take down those poor grain and grass, when he suddenly thought, "Something is wrong! How could the Chinese give us grain and forage for nothing! Hurriedly drank the herald, "Wait a minute, have you sent someone to check?" ”

"Checked," said the herald, who had rare good news for Elgin, who felt that he had the potential to be a commander-in-chief, and had done the questions that the Earl was to ask first, "and upon careful examination found nothing suspicious, neither bombs nor gunpowder or filth, but only a few sacks of rice, flour, and a few carts of forage for the horses. ”

When the healthy horse under Ergin's crotch heard the word forage, he seemed to understand, and raised his hooves restlessly, and Ergin hurriedly calmed down, "Ask someone to pull things back, check again, the Chinese are very tricky, maybe there are bad things in it, Mr. Gro, tell the French warriors to go and get some water, let's find a higher position to eat first!" The Chinese things have been checked, and if they are not poisonous, then eat them first! ”

Gro was extremely cautious, and called a full 200 people to fetch water, half of the 200 men were cavalry, fully armed, and went out to find water in a murderous manner. Ergin unexpectedly did not sarcastically mock Gro, and he thought the same thing in his heart as Gro, that in such a distant country, without relatives, you must be careful in everything, especially if you act alone, you must be extremely careful, this is right.
