C587 En Yangzhong's hair cut

In the real history, the fact that Li Hongzhang's Huai Army could replace the Xiang Army and evolve into a North Ocean, and become the most important arm of the late Qing, was not solely due to luck. They had truly fought their way out of the battlefield.

The Qing Dynasty had ruled over China for more than two hundred years, and countless of strong armies had been cleaned up by the imperial government. As far as the Xiang Army, which was near to Ceng Guofan, they were all disintegrated and destroyed by the Qing Dynasty without exception.

Only the Huai Army had become stronger since the day of her birth. Even after experiencing the great defeat in the afternoon, she had not left the stage of history, and had even been reborn from Yuan Shikai's hands.

In the end, Yuan Shikai, the heir to the Northern Ocean forces took away the entire Great Qing Empire and forced Empress Dowager Long Yu to write an edict to abdicate her position.

It could be imagined just how terrifying such an army was in his early days as an army. He was as cunning as a fox and as vicious as a tiger, and he was referring to an army like the Huai Army.

No one would have thought that Li Hongzhang's ace attack was actually hidden within this group of common people who were being held hostage.

"Not good... "Quickly save the Prime Minister …" No matter how loud Dragon Lord shouted, it would be of no use. He had just landed on the ground, and was more than ten meters away from Xiao Letian.

As for the soldiers beside Xiao Letian, they had just killed the few assassins in a row. Their attention was still on the civilians, afraid that new assassins would appear, and their eyes could not catch up to the hidden weapons that the expert threw.

As for Xiao Letian? It was already Wu Yong's limit for the transmigrated Little White Territory to shoot at the enemies on the battlefield. It would be a joke if he was expected to dodge the concealed weapons.

At the critical moment, a small figure suddenly rushed out from the side. That figure's speed was like a flying swallow, crashing head first into the shadow of the concealed weapon.

"Mm …" After a stuffy groan, a slim figure fell from the sky. Everyone looked closely and saw that it was actually a woman, a woman who knew martial arts.

"Protecting the Prime Minister... "Protect the Prime Minister!" It was only until now did the guards beside Xiao Letian notice the flying dagger's existence. The lips of the girl who had been stabbed on the shoulder had already turned purple, showing the extreme poison.

It was fortunate that these martial arts experts did not use handguns well. If they had brought out a Colt left wheel, Xiao Letian would not be able to save them.

The Prime Minister's guards all rushed forward to protect Xiao Letian, not to mention the throwing daggers, even if the Gatling machine guns were to shoot at them, Xiao Letian would not be able to take any more injuries.

Dragon Lord put down her tiger head and rushed to the side of the lady to help her up. With that, the Dragon Lord pulled out the flying dagger with his left hand and placed the girl on his body. His right hand then held the wound tightly.

Dragon Lord took out a tin-paper-wrapped pill from his chest pocket and crushed half of it into the woman's mouth, while the other half crushed it and applied it to her wounds. "Who has gauze, come and help bandage them!"

After tormenting himself for a while, Dragon Lord pressed his thumb against the woman's body. She only heard a low "En" sound and her eyelids twitched as she woke up.

Just then, Xiao Letian also squeezed out from the protection of the guards. He fiercely kicked a few of the guards who blocked his path, "Scram, this old man will not look at my savior. Are you even a human?"

Xiao Letian squatted down and looked at the lady, and at the same time, the lady's eyes were also staring straight at Xiao Letian's face: "You are Prime Minister Xiao?" The woman's voice was weak.

Xiao Letian took off the oilcloak that he was wearing, lightly putting it on her, "I am Xiao Letian, tell me your name. "I will repay you for saving my life …"

The woman shook her head: You're really Xiao Letian! It was exactly the same as the portraits hanging in the Ryukyu University … "Don't ask me for my name, I am just a sinner who wants to atone for his sins …" After saying that, the woman's eyes closed and her head tilted. She actually fainted again.

"Atonement? What did that mean? This is a woman with a story... "Someone come, take good care of her! You must save her life …"

When Xiao Letian stood up, the battle on the east side was gradually coming to an end. knife drawing team and En Yangzhong, with the help of their accurate snipers, had already killed a large number of enemies and started to slowly retreat.

The two thousand Huai Army s on the other side were also scared out of their wits by this counterattack. They were only two to three meters away from each other, and did not even bother to attack.

"knife drawing team returns to the primary matrix … En Yangzhong immediately left the battle. "Defend, everyone defend …" Wang Huaiyuan was still calm as ever as he led the battle. Facing the four thousand Huai Army that surrounded them, he had to ensure that the battle front was complete.

En Yangzhong had finally returned, out of the 400, En Yangzhong only had a little over 300 left, but their spirits were still very strong. The baptism of blood had made them feel like they were made of iron and blood, and all of them stood straight as they waited for Xiao Letian to take a look.

Xiao Letian looked at the group of heroic and martial youths, then looked at the sloppy-looking 'Shunmin' who did not even dare to raise his head, spitting a mouthful of saliva into the rain.

"Well done, you are truly worthy of being my, Xiao Letian's, En Yangzhong. F * ck, I sacrificed so many good kids, but my heart hurts so much … But your courage is great, even the Prime Minister is impressed! "

Young people tended to be crazy, and Xiao Letian was their idol. His praise made all the children present cheer, and even the tiger head clenched his fist as he shouted.

Long live the New Army! Long live the Prime Minister! "

Viva's howl scared thousands of refugees and made them fall into the mud. They looked at the children in disbelief, and some of the elders even muttered to themselves, "Don't yell, this group of children are too stupid. Only the emperor can be called viva, you are all going to be beheaded …" You don't dare to shout around! "

Xiao Letian and the others heard the crickets chirping around, as the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea patted their shoulders to encourage them.

"How old are you? Oh, 15, weren't you afraid just now... And you, how much have you learned to read? "What are the results of each subject?"

"Mm …" You're called Tiger Head? I have an impression of you, but don't tell me your grandfather was killed by the Qing Dynasty … "

"AHH!" And you, you're the first one to go on a rampage. What's your name … "

Xiao Letian comforted En Yangzhong and the others one by one, and in a while, they arrived at Liu Anchen's side.

"Reporting to Prime Minister, my name is Liu Anchen, I am a member of Zhang Zhuang En Yangzhong, my father is a distributor under the Letian Firm, I am in charge of the grain business in the Tanggu …"

"Eh? You are just a merchant's disciple, a young master who eats and drinks, why would you join En Yangzhong? Is it hard to live here? " Xiao Letian patted her shoulder and asked.

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter …" He who suffers is a man of honor! My father has asked around, En Yangzhong is the Prime Minister's solid foundation, and what he is teaching is the knowledge of both the arts and the martial arts. Also, En Yangzhong has guaranteed the most slots to study abroad! "

"I want to go out and see. I want to travel the world by sea. I want to see why the West is so strong … Reading ten thousand books, traveling ten thousand miles, I don't want to be a corrupt scholar! "

What ambitious words, causing Xiao Letian's eyes to light up, "Good, you have ambition!" With that said, Xiao Letian took out a bayonet from the soldier's body.

"Since your ambitions are so high, then the Prime Minister will satisfy you! "Cut off the braid first …"

"Huh?" Liu Anchen and his little friends were stunned, the faces of the commoners behind them changed, as an old man who looked like a village elder jumped up and advised, "Child … I can't cut it... You can't lose your physical body and parents! "

Following that, the group of villagers all raised their heads up and bitterly advised, "Children, don't be silly. If you cut off this braid, it will cause the sky to collapse!"

Xiao Letian was too lazy to listen to the cricket call, he could only stare straight at Liu Anchen, he wanted to see how this child would choose.

Liu Anchen held onto the bayonet in his hand, his eyes rolling around randomly. Not long later, he made his decision, and with a flip of his wrist, the bayonet reached the roots of his braid, and was about to make his move.

"We can't be foolish, child. A parent whose body has undergone physical pain must not be forsaken …" The group of old men behind him cried.

"Shut up! What kind of parents? What about the hair on your forehead? Tell me where? You guys don't even have hair of your own, how dare you call us that! " This brat's words stunned all of the wailing old men.

Yes, the parents who are sick, but what's with our bare heads? Half of his hair had been shaved off. How come he had never realized this before?

Liu Anchen raised his hand, a long braid dropping to the ground: "Prime minister, can I stay to study?"

"Good job!" Xiao Letian shouted loudly, "All En Yangzhong listen to my orders, from today onwards, I will cut off all plans for invention. No one is allowed to summon his power, whoever disobeys my orders is to expel En Yangzhong from his group …"

"Yes!" Prime Minister! " The three hundred young men loudly shouted as they borrowed the bayonets to start cutting the braids. Even the tiger opened his hands to take the braids. "Cut them off for me too, I won't leave any braids behind!"

Hundreds of braids fell into the muddy water, causing the surrounding citizens to feel dizzy. People blocked their mouths, not daring to make a sound. They were truly afraid that these vicious beasts would rush over and cut off their braids as well.

However, they had overestimated their own status. This group of people, who did not even dare to resist to the death, was too lazy to care about them, in the eyes of Xiao Letian and the rest, changing their souls was simply an impossible mission. Their fate was simply to follow the flow and drift of the times.

But the elites under Xiao Letian's command were the real heroes who could turn the tide!

Right now, the knife drawing team had already blocked the gap in the east side, and a small defensive position had already been sealed tightly.

Not only was Wang Huaiyuan in position, he used empty ammunition box s and mud to build four platforms that were as tall as a man. No one knew what he was planning to do.
