C223 Capture Maylor alive

"Protect Lord Lieutenant. Big guy, don't panic. There aren't many enemies. Form a formation to deal with them …"

"Archers, Musketeers …" Shoot them, don't f * cking run away. Are you ashamed of yourself?

"Charge forward, counterattack …" "My children, our ancestors are watching us from the sky, please don't embarrass our Manchu …"

Countless military officers were angrily cursing the soldiers in the crowd. They were desperately pulling every single soldier around them. Small formations began to assemble one after another in the light of the fire. Some of them had hundreds of people.

"Charge! Follow me and charge!" The lieutenant has plenty of silver. A bandit's head is worth a thousand taels of silver.

The soldiers' morale was finally boosted by the money. Their dream of making a fortune stimulated them to fight bravely. The little charge in the local area did a pretty good job.

Xiao Letian didn't know that the enemy was using his private money to boost the morale, he was not interested in such a dramatic conflict. Right now, he only wanted Maylor, regardless of whether he lived or died.

The second row of class five was lucky tonight, because the hardest mission they had received was to capture Maylor alive. Under the envious gazes of the other classes, the ten warriors of class five defeated three waves of enemies with their fastest speed, and rushed to the small courtyard Maylor was residing in.

"After the soldiers kicked open the study door, they found that there was no one at the center table. The class monitor reached out his hand to touch the mahogany chair." "It's warm, I didn't run far so I need to hurry and search …" Ten soldiers began to search the rooms one by one.

Maylor lived in a typical northern courtyard house. Not only was there a private kitchen, there were even two concubines inside.

The soldiers searched the small courtyard from room to room, but they didn't find anything. Other than a few terrified servants, even the two concubines were nowhere to be found.

"Reporting to class monitor, we still haven't seen any, there's simply no trace of Maylor at all …"

"Reporting to the class monitor, there has been an intense conflict outside the door, the cover for our brothers has been caught in a bitter battle, Maylor's reinforcements have arrived …"

The Fifth Squad Leader was so anxious that his head was spinning around in circles. He was well aware of the dangers of this battle. The longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it became.

"F * ck, prepare the Molotov Burn Bottles and shout from house to house. If no one agrees, then burn them for me …" That old thing won't be able to run away. It's impossible for him to leave this courtyard.

The class rep took the lead and jumped into a room as he shouted, "Maylor, hurry up and come out, or else I'll burn you to death!" After three consecutive shouts, there was a crisp sound. The Molotov's cocktail smashed into the cabinet and its blazing flames engulfed the entire room.

The soldiers shouted from room after room. When no one agreed, they set fire to the study room. As soon as they shouted, they heard a weak voice coming from the corner of the study room.

"Stop, don't set the fire. I beg you, don't set the fire …" Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the sound had come from the bottom of an incomparably large porcelain vat in the corner. The blue and white porcelain vat filled with calligraphy and painting scrolls had actually moved in front of everyone's eyes.

"There's a cellar? This old thing is a mouse, he's actually hiding in a cellar in his study! "

Under the fire spear's pressure, Maylor, his concubine and the military officers who drank together came out. These experienced generals naturally knew how powerful the Gun was as they were all obediently tied up by the soldiers.

"Tell me who you are. Whose soldiers are you? Was it Ceng Guofan's? Is he trying to rebel? " The foolish Maylor still had not figured out the situation. In his heart, the only ones who dared to rebel and could rebel were the Zeng Family Brothers.

The Fifth Squad Leader smiled coldly, "You can actually lead soldiers to war?" I am ashamed of the court... Take it away and place it down! "

Currently, the outside of the courtyard had become the main battlefield. The two platoons of troops gathered here to provide cover for Class 5. Gunfire and thunder could be heard endlessly. Both sides were looking for cover and firing at each other.

Although the guns in the Manchu soldiers' hands were very primitive, and most of the soldiers still used bows and arrows, their advantage in numbers made up for the difference in weapons. Gradually, casualties began to appear among the new recruits, and the scales of victory began to waver.

Just then, the gate to the courtyard suddenly opened with a bang, and Maylor and a few other officers who were tied up were pushed out.

"Stop, ceasefire... All the Eight Flags Soldier have come to a ceasefire, and we have your lieutenants in our hands. All of you, retreat.

With the muzzle of the Spencer pointed at Maylor's temples, facing the threat of death, Maylor did not dare delay and immediately ordered, "Brothers, all of you stop … Listen to them, and listen to them. I, Maylor, have always been good to you, don't hurt me … "

It seems that Maylor's character was not bad at all. The middle ranking officers and soldiers fighting stopped and said, "We will stop the fire, and if you let our master go, the price can be agreed upon easily."

"Bullshit!" Do you think laozi is stupid? Do you really think we are scum robbers? All of you step back, make a path... "Send out the signal for the fireworks, tell the back that we've succeeded, retreat immediately …"

Three consecutive fireballs exploded in the night sky. Xiao Letian was finally relieved, and his excited heart was at ease as he spun around on the ground: "Hahaha, good good good, two hundred wildly winning over twenty thousand, this is considered my famous general, hahaha …"

Just as he was laughing wildly, countless battle squads rushed out of the burning camp and disappeared into the night like mercury spilling onto the ground, leaving only astonished faces behind. These Eight Flags Soldier s were truly dumbfounded, all their supplies were burnt, even their officers were taken away, what about tomorrow? How could he fight this battle?

Just as the sky was about to brighten, Xiao Letian finally reunited with his main group fifteen kilometers away from the camp.

Xiao Letian, who was sitting on the horse, arrogantly used his whip to raise Maylor's chin and said, "Un, you're Maylor? "You even dare to drink wine before the war, it's not wrong that you lost …"

"Who are you? "Just who are you …" Maylor looked at Xiao Letian in fear, he never thought that the commander behind this group of soldiers would actually be so young.

"Hahaha, you are so useless, didn't you want to lead soldiers to capture me? Who did the court want you to beat? I am Xiao Letian, and I am the two devils you want to kill … "

"AHH!" The few Eight Flag Lords were dumbfounded, they never thought that the one who was going to steal the camp was Xiao Letian, he actually had guts.

Xiao Letian shook his head, "Why would the imperial government assign so many soldiers to you? Don't you even do basic intelligence before the war? I don't even know what I look like... Forget it, forget it, I don't want to waste my breath on you anymore, wait until Tanggu, you can go accompany Sun Sanhu there … "

That morning, the news of the sneak attack on the Tian Jin camp spread like wildfire to the Beijing. The most dramatic news was that when the official documents left the camp, the latest order from the imperial government was passed down.

When the military officers in the camp saw the latest official document with the seal of the military department, they were so angry that they almost cried.

"What are you doing, O government? You said long ago that you would cancel your operation against Xiao Letian, so we wouldn't have suffered such a disaster … "And you messengers, why can't you be faster? Can it be that you are purposely trying to humiliate me …"

After four hours of night raids, the eight flag army only had around eight hundred casualties. Facing such a large force of twenty thousand casualties, the casualty rate was nothing to worry about.

However, this night raid had a devastating effect on the morale of the army. Almost all of the military supplies had been burned, the high-ranking generals had been taken care of in one fell swoop, and the entire camp was filled with sighs and sighs.

When the news of the attack reached the capital, all the nobles in the imperial court didn't even have the strength to scold him. Everyone was dazzled by the news and lost the ability to think.

Xiao Letian's two hundred guards dared to break through the twenty-eight thousand strong army? He couldn't find a single wargod like this even after flipping through history books. Was this really two hundred golden-armored gods? The Jade Emperor sent out heavenly soldiers?

The atmosphere in the capital became stranger and stranger. The Baji's people, who were born with no idea what secrets were, immediately spread this horrifying news to the entire Beijing.

"Everyone, don't drink anymore. How many years can our Manchu's ironclad crops last? That brat Maylor was captured alive by Xiao Letian! "

"Are you for real?" Stop bullshitting, the twenty thousand that Maylor has is an army that the imperial court has spent a lot of money to build in the past three to four years. Unless Xiao Letian invited a foreign army, it would be impossible to break through the camp … "

"Aiyo, why would I lie to you!?" Listen to what I have to say first. It's Night Assault taking advantage of the darkness to launch a sneak attack. Just after midnight, as the camp was sleeping soundly, these bandits snuck in. Maylor was caught off guard and took them away from the hot bed.

This time, the people finally realized that a sneak attack was not a fair and honorable decision, as it left a little face for the imperial government. The Eight Flag idler s finally found a reasonable excuse for their defeat.

It was easy to fool ordinary Hedonist Eight Banners, but it was not easy to deceive the upper echelons and officials. When Yi Hu received this information, they did not discuss it with the empress dowager and decided to invite the envoys and representatives of the strong countries to a banquet in the Head Office.

American Minister Hua Ruohan, British Counsellor Sir Wei Tuoma, Minister of France Ge Erdemi and Russian Minister Ulangeli, the ones with the most benefits in China were all on the list. At the most critical moment for the imperial government, the Qing Dynasty finally thought of borrowing the power of the foreigners, so the foreign aristocrats finally bowed their heads to the foreigners.

", due to the recent serious security incidents that have occurred in Beijing Belt, this king is inviting all of you to a banquet. "On the other hand, we hope that all countries will abide by the treaties we have signed, and we hope that we will not interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Qing …"

Diplomacy was always empty and tasteless, everyone could understand what was going on and what was going on. Now that Ceng Guofan's intentions were unknown, he used the Master of Western Studies's flag to create trouble. It looked like the imperial government was very busy, but this Great Qing was still under the effective control of the Manchu.

In the end, it was still Russian Minister Ulangeli who spoke up first, "Respected Prince Kung, the Tsar Russia is always Great Qing Dynasty's friend, our friendship is unbreakable. If you agree, I will also send the Siberian Cossack cavalry to assist the royalty.
