Han Xiufeng sharpened his sword for two years, but Xianfeng was still not relieved whether the sword was sharp or not. He ordered the head of the military aircraft minister Mu Yin to be the minister of the parade to go to the stable outside the north gate of the Old Summer Palace to see how the soldiers were practicing.

As a result, with Mu Yin's military parade, the news that Han Xiufeng had quietly trained an elite soldier in Nanyuan spread like wildfire. The civil and military officials of various departments and colleges on duty in the Old Summer Palace ran over to watch the fun.

Yin Zhaoyong, the Zhan Shifu, was also one of them. He found that the army stationed at Majiamen in Heying and Nanyuan was not only well-trained, well-armed, but also highly morale. When he thought that Tongzhou was in a tight position, he immediately made a note and asked to send these more than 600 soldiers to Tongzhou to make a decision.

Xianfeng did not want to suppress the last battle-capable army from his heart, but he could not withstand the support of Prince Hui, Zhou Zupei and other princes and ministers. He could only order Han Xiufeng to lead the He Camp and more than 100 Majiamen troops to Tongzhou. At the same time, Datou passed a oral order to "act as a camera".

Bao Feng was shocked, but Han Xiufeng was very calm.

Because from the moment when the brothers were urgently summoned to the Old Summer Palace, I expected this possibility. What's more, the soldiers were trained on the battlefield, not on the school ground, so I had long wanted to find an opportunity for the brothers to go to the battlefield to experience the battle. If I had never seen real foreign soldiers and had never seen how foreigners fought, hoping that they would protect the emperor would be the safety of the emperor.

The only thing I was worried about was that I would listen to Senggelinqin or Shengbao's orders when I arrived in front of the formation. Now that the emperor asked "camera to act", Han Xiufeng had nothing to worry about, so he immediately asked the brothers to take off their yellow jackets, put on the clothes they wore during exercise, put down bedding and other supplies, and only brought weapons, three days of dry food and a bag of water to boil.

According to the rules, soldiers who went to war, could not escape the silver. Thinking that these more than 600 soldiers were now considered people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Bao Jing didn't even bother to request the emperor, so he ordered the Guangchu Department to send 4,000 taels of silver. Each soldier brave soldier was given five taels, Yongxiang, Wang Hedong and other eight banners and green camp military officers ranging from fifty to ten taels.

After paying the money, he sent it five or six miles along the way, and pulled Han Xiufeng and Ronglu to give it a lot of advice, asking them to be cautious and cautious, and never turn this tiger and wolf army that should have been used to protect them.

Although he had been dealing with him for a short time, he saw that this immediate boss was not only not pedantic, but also had a clear understanding of major events. Han Xiufeng was really moved. He bowed goodbye to Baofeng with Ronglu and others, and then headed straight to Tongzhou without hesitation.

The sky became darker and darker, and gradually became darker.

With Ronglu's order, the soldiers lit the torches they had prepared early, for fear that someone would not be able to see clearly or fall behind. They ordered the teams to take out the hemp ropes as they did during the training, and everyone had to grab the hemp ropes. The official road from the capital to Tongzhou was already wide, and most of the soldiers were locals in Wanping, Gu'an and Tongzhou. They were familiar with this area. Although they were walking at night, they were not worried about getting lost.

Ronglu's buttocks were so painful that he took out his pocket watch and looked under the torch held by the groom. Then he turned around and asked, "Fourth Master, it's already ugly. Should you let your brothers rest, eat some dry food, and drink water?"

Thinking that he had been leaving for nearly three hours without realizing it, the horse team was fine, and the speed of the team was not as fast as before, Han Xiufeng pondered: "It's OK."

Thinking of the marching rules that had been explained before, Ronglu did not dare to let his brothers rest like this, but looked up and shouted: "Yongtai obeyed the order!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"Transfer a message to me, the teams stopped and stood on time."

"Yeah!"

One sent a message to another, the one in front passed the front and the one in the back. After a while, a large group of people stopped in an orderly manner like a long dragon. I couldn't see clearly at night, and it was up to my ears to hear what was going on around me, so although the soldiers and soldiers in each team stopped, they still did not dare to make loud noises.

Ronglu leaned over and looked at it, then said, "Yongxiang, hurry up and send orders to the front to dismount, order all Team B to dismount, ask Orhai to hand over the horse to the groom, and then take the brothers to the front to guard! Fuchun and Changge lead their respective subordinates to guard both wings!"

"Yeah!" Yongxiang responded, took the torch from a soldier's hand, and rode his horse to the front to pass the order.

"Wangdusi, the brothers of the team are resting on the spot. When you need to snooze, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, piss, and piss. If you want to sit down and rest, you will sit down and rest for a while. Not only will you walk away, but you will also make loud noises."

"Abide by the orders of humble duties."

...

Ronglu kept giving orders, and the team retreated to both sides of the official road to rest. The torches were extinguished one by one. The bridles that were placed on the mouths of horses and mules were untied for a while and then they were put on again. Only the brothers whispered, and they couldn't see where the teams were at all, so naturally they didn't have to worry about being attacked.

Han Xiufeng walked into a field and finished his hands. He was vaguely observing where he had arrived and how far he was from Tongzhou when he heard a noise coming from the front.

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Ronglu, who had just finished his hand, said anxiously: "What's going on? Twenty-one, hurry up and take a look!"

"Yeah!"

"Wang Hedong, Wang Hedong!"

"exist!"

"Let the people be on guard!"

"Abide by the orders of humble duties."

Han Xiufeng felt that this arrangement was inappropriate, so he looked around and saw a bush not far from the west, and immediately said, "Zhonghua, Hedong, let the brothers go there to set up defenses, so you don't have to be so close to the official road."

"The lower official obeys the order."

With Han Xiufeng's order, the soldiers who had just sat down and rested for a while moved again. The teams had just retreated to the bushes and were asking the groom to lead the horse back for another hundred steps. Yongxiang and Orhai brought a few teams A cavalry school who should have been on the front and escorted three dust-faced defeated soldiers.

"What's going on? You three are deserters?" Han Xiufeng asked, holding the torch that had just been lit on Xiaoshandong, and trembling with the three defeated soldiers.

"I didn't hear the adult question, why don't you reply quickly?" Yongxiang raised his leg and kicked it.

The Bing Yong, who had just knelt down, hurriedly said, "Sir, the master, the young one is not a defeated soldier, the young one is a Wanping family, the young one wants to go home."

"If you are not a deserter, why are you here and still walking at night in the middle of the night?"

"Sir, please spare me. The young man is really not a deserter. He was defeated in the front. All the officials ran away. The horse team disappeared. The young man didn't know who he should listen to, so he followed him and ran here as he ran."

"Is there a defeat before?" Han Xiufeng stared at him and asked.

One of them knew at a glance that it was a defeated soldier who was transferred from outside the pass. He kowtowed and begged for mercy and said sadly: "Sir, the foreigners fired guns for most of the day and fired guns for most of the day. The guns were raining, and the shells were like hail. We couldn't rush to them at all, and many people died!"

"Where did you shoot guns and cannons?" Han Xiufeng asked afterwards.

"Baliqiao, I've been fighting for most of the day, and I don't know how many brothers died!"

"Have you seen the King of Monks and Lord Shengbao?"

"Sir, the last time I saw the monk king was in the afternoon. He led the Mongolian horse team to the battlefield, but he met the foreign horse team, and then disappeared." Thinking of the bad battle in the afternoon, the defeated soldiers outside the pass were full of fire, and glared at the defeated soldiers beside him, and said gritting their teeth: "Our horse team rushed forward, and their team was fine. They were there for an afternoon, watching us fight against the foreigners."

"What happened later?"

"Reported to the master, the battle was rushed. Several horse teams had not made any appointments. Those who arrived first rushed first, and those who arrived later rushed later. Two or three hundred cavalry at a time. The foreigners set up several square formations inside and outside. The guns and cannons were so tight that the small ones could not rush forward at all, so they retreated with Shangguan. Later... Later... the foreigners' entire army pressed over and fired several rows of guns, and the teams collapsed. Thousands of people, and the ones behind probably ran away before they saw the foreign soldiers!"

What was expected was that most of the infantry teams led by Shengbao were temporarily recruited for training, with only more than 1,000 real soldiers, and many training wars were not even decent weapons. How to fight this battle?

Han Xiufeng pondered for a moment and asked again: "So that's the case with Bali Bridge?"

"I didn't hold on, so many brothers died. The young man saw that the bridge head was full of corpses, which made him feel like blood flowing like a river."

"Where is Tongzhou City?"

"I don't know that everyone was running later. The little one couldn't stand steadily, so they ran back and ran here."

Han Xiufeng felt that he couldn't ask anything again, so he simply turned around and said, "Give them some dry food and let them go."

"Yeah!"

...

As soon as three defeated soldiers were sent away, Ronglu and others surrounded him and asked anxiously: "Second Master, what should we do now? Will we still go to Tongzhou?"

"Of course you have to go, but you don't have to go into the city." Han Xiufeng weighed it and looked around and said, "Let the brothers rest for a while. When the brothers eat and drink and nourish their spirits, we will stay away from the official road and send more scouts to quietly touch Tongzhou."

"Then what?"

"When I get to Tongzhou, I will act according to the opportunity." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and then explained: "It will be dawn later to see if there are people nearby. If there are, find more guides familiar with this area. After dawn, there will be more and more defeated soldiers, so let the scouts intercept a few more and ask about the situation ahead. In short, since they come out, they will have to fight, but we will never fight a war that we are not sure about."

"Just fight?" Yongxiang couldn't help asking.

"How many wars do you want to fight?" Han Xiufeng asked back and said meaningfully: "Do you know why the emperor asked us to act on camera? Do you know why Lord Baosheng has given him many instructions? Let's put it this way, our life and death are small, and the emperor's safety is big. The war is so corrupt. If even we are broken and broken by foreigners, who will protect us then?"

"Haoshit."

"Don't blame yourself, hurry up and explain to your brothers clearly that there are opportunities to achieve success. If you really fight, you must not fight."

"clear!"

"Go and prepare quickly. Exhaust the torch. We can't be killed or injured by the foreigners before we see them."
