Although muskets can be fired in the rain nowadays, heavy rain still seriously affects eyesight and has great hindrance to shooting. All teams try to avoid fighting in the rain. The charge momentum of the Tiele Army was curbed, and even the flag was controlled by the Jin soldiers and their morale was greatly affected, so they could only retreat.

It was not until this time that they realized that they had lost all the company-level commanders, and the first-level commanders also suffered heavy casualties, and the troops suffered huge casualties. They had to make up for the fight before they could continue to fight.

As the defensive side, the Jin soldiers were actually more casualties than the offensive side. The student soldiers were injured by more than one-third. Except for some of the deserters who were subject to battlefield discipline, the remaining parts were basically killed and injured, with very few remaining.

Zhao Guanhou was not injured. He comforted Gu Shaobai and Wang Song. He felt relieved when they saw that both of them were fine. Seeing that Jiang Fengzhi was swaying in the rain, he quickly took a piece of oil cloth and covered her head.

"You have just been seriously injured and can't get wet. Go back quickly. Besides, foreigners have guns. No matter how powerful your slingshot is, you can't resist the foreign gun. Don't come out to die."

He helped Jiang Fengzhi into the room. A woman brought hot water over, but Jiang Fengzhi pushed the water in front of Zhao Guanhou, "You drink it first."

"It doesn't matter, you're injured."

"No...you are more important than me." Jiang Fengzhi's expression was particularly firm. "You are the backbone of this place. So many people are counting on you to save it. I can die, but you can't fall."

Another thunder sounded in the sky. Jiang Fengzhi looked up at the window, "As soon as the rain stopped, foreigners should attack again. Can you defend?"

"It's hard to say how long it can last." Zhao Guanhou did not hide from her. "We have too few soldiers, and most of them lack combat experience, and they are not good at fighting. Besides, there are so many Tie Le soldiers in the city, you can dispatch reinforcements everywhere, but our few soldiers can only hold on." He smiled bitterly: "Now it is better than time. If reinforcements come earlier, there will be rescue, otherwise it will be very troublesome. But don't be afraid. At that time, I will lead you to break through and will not hurt you. I will not stay with you."

Jiang Fengzhi said sadly and said after a while: "If... if... you didn't come to me and didn't want to save me, you wouldn't have encountered such danger, right? You have great abilities. Even if you want to run away now, you can still run away, but if you take me with you, it will be difficult to run away."

"You can't say that. Here I am the leader. If I run away now, I will be finished if I don't beat myself here. Although I have not been responsible for defending the land and sacrificing the city, since everyone can look down on me and let me be the commander, I have to give them the right way."

Zhao Guanhou paused, "Besides, many people die at their hands, and I have to avenge the dead, such as Master, and he. Killing more Tiel people can also be considered as giving him a breath. Although we have suffered serious casualties, Tiel people are not much better. Now they are hurrying to repair fortifications and wait until Tiel people come again, and they will feel better."

This time, Jiang Fengzhi took the initiative to grab Zhao Guanhou's hand and leaned his head on. "Guanhou, my father has gone, Senior Brother Ding... has also gone. There are other senior brothers and sisters. There were so many acquaintances, and almost all of them were all left. All I have left now is you. You... you must live. If you have another good fortune, I don't know what to do..."

"Don't be stupid, you still have Hanzhi."

"I...I'm sorry to my sister." Jiang Fengzhi's face turned a little red. I don't know if it was shy or a fever after getting wet in the rain. "I snatched her man. This is not good for me. She...will she still recognize me as a sister?"

"Of course I admit it. Why can she not admit you two good sisters? Han Zhi may not know about our affairs. Think about it, when she went to Shandong, she insisted on you and me. Don't think too much. No matter how many foreigners come, I will find a way to block you. After passing this level, we will live a good life in the future. I will marry you and Han Zhi to continue to be sisters, so that we will not miss each other. In the future, we will live our lives forever, so that you will never be afraid."

The two of them held their hands tightly together, and Jiang Fengzhi gradually became leaning on her heart. After a series of drastic changes, she just wanted to firmly hold on to the man in front of her and begged him not to leave her again. Anyway, he saw the parts of her body, so what if she didn't marry him? As for her status, she didn't care.

It took more than forty minutes before the rain gradually became a small trend. Zhao Guanhou kissed Jiang Fengzhi on the face, "Stay well and don't move anymore. If the wound is broken again, it will be very troublesome. I will go outside and watch. If the foreigners come again, I will beat them to death."

His gunshot technique and Minni rifle can play the role of a sniper, but the rank of officers who launched the Tieler attack was not too high, and killing several people would not have the effect of vibration. Otherwise, the camp would have been blown up long ago. These refugees also knew that the situation was critical, and in the face of heavy rain, they built two more chest walls and several rows of fences to resist horses and build a simple fortification group. Although in the face of Tieler artillery fire, such fortifications could not last long, but they could only chew for a while.

The remaining young and strong people among the refugees were supplemented into the team. They had not been trained and their combat effectiveness was not very reliable. However, they were taught to use their time just now. Now one person caught another person, no matter who it was, as long as they had combat effectiveness.

Zhao Guanhou looked at everyone, "Don't panic, foreigners die no less than us, we are all able to make a fortune today. When they come again, we will continue to fight. They are not three heads and six arms. As long as we bite the teeth, we can fight them. When the foreigners are defeated, each person will be rewarded with 5 taels of silver."

He issued a reward quota and cheered up the hearts of the people, but he actually had no confidence in the next battle. If he really couldn't stand it, he could only lead Jiang Fengzhi to break through. As for the others, let him go.

After reintegration, the three offensive companies formed a strengthening company's combat effectiveness and at the same time strengthened three artillery pieces. The situation in Tianjin had tended to calm down, and the coalition forces began to advance to the Hexiwu area to seize the Tianjin government troops to prepare for battle. Lieutenant General Arikseev, the commander of Tiel, heard that the attack on the school was not good, so he specially sent Andre, a commander of the guard cavalry, to take charge, and also supervise the battle.

This Colonel Andre was a nobleman who served in the Guards since he was born and was promoted as he grew older. He was a nobleman in the true sense, a nobleman who was completely different from a company commander of military merit. His bright military uniforms, bright copper buttons and epaulettes were completely different from those soldiers wearing mud and water, and his behavior was also unique to the arrogance of the nobles.

"Gentlemen, Lieutenant General is very dissatisfied with your offense. He actually stopped the offensive because it rained. This is really stupid. As warriors of the empire, you should have the ability to launch an offensive in any bad weather. If you do not have this ability and the excellent quality of hard work, how can you serve His Majesty the Emperor? We need to prove our strength in the Far East. Only by hurting these backward barbarians can we make the next plan. Forget it, you don't understand these things. Now you just need to understand a little. I want this castle, the silver in it, and the most beautiful woman. And the time I give you is: two hours."

He took out the gold watch and opened the cover. "Now, the time begins. If you don't want to be transferred to Siberia to build a railway, then from now on, launch an attack for me! Also, the troops responsible for the defense can retreat and participate in the offensive. I don't think there is anything to be wary of a group of Fusang monkeys. What if they know we are attacking? Do they dare to offend the great Emperor Tielle and his invincible troops?"

Several company commanders lowered their heads helplessly, followed the noble's orders and reorganized the troops again, using a vanguard to strengthen the company's forces as the vanguard, and then attacked Tucheng again. At the same time, they raised the cannons toward Tucheng's city, set up cannons from above, and bombarded downwards.

But just when Tiele's troops were dispatched, a unit with different uniforms and colors, with a total of only 200, began to land on several small boats. The members of these troops were of varying age, but they were basically over twenty-five years old, and the oldest was in their forties. The leader was a white man in his thirties, with a tall figure, wearing a half-new military uniform, with a bit of gold thread, but he worked hard to sew and repaired his beard very neatly.

Next to him was a white European woman in hunting suit, carrying a rifle on her shoulder, looking back at the army. "Ryanstein, you mean, with these people, you can save the person I want to save?"

The tall white man nodded to the woman, "Madam Jenson, please believe in my credibility. My mercenary group and I can complete any difficult task in the world. The premise is to pay the same reward. If you pay us five thousand pounds, I promise that you can rescue people. This is our honor."

He shouted behind him, "You drunkards, beggars, bastards! Now start, organize your queues, prepare, attack!"

The gold watch's pointer slowly moved, and time passed by minute by minute. Andre did not come to the battlefield. He was a nobleman and did not need to come to the front line in person. Besides, the dirty mud would stain his brand new horse boots. He would just wait until the war was over and he would take them back.

In front of him was a hardwood Eight Immortals stolen from the Governor's Office, with a cup of vodka and a few pieces of candies on it.

He looked at the needle and sneered, "A group of stupid slaves, half an hour has passed, why haven't I given the castle yet! How long do I have to endure the stupidity of these fools? Do they not even do this little thing? Perhaps, I should impose sanctions on some people so that these slaves can understand how terrible it is to anger a noble."

He muttered to himself, grabbed a piece of candy and put it in his mouth, suddenly there was a burst of rapid and chaotic footsteps, the guards' scolding and inquiries, and the sound of bayonets colliding.

Andre was shocked. He never thought he would be touched by someone. After all, the resistance of the Jin soldiers as a whole had disappeared. Some scattered soldiers and the remnants of the Flying Tiger Regiment were also searched and killed by coalition forces from various countries. It is unlikely that he would come to attack him. He arranged a platoon near the command center, so how could someone rush over?

He just stood up and put his hand on the handle of the gun. Before he could even get out the gun, the tent had been lifted up, and a short and strong oriental man had already walked in from outside.

The person who came was wearing a suit and glasses, looked like a businessman, but Andre knew that this was a real poisonous snake, and he could bite a person's life with just one bite. He raised his eyebrows.

"Banxi, what are you doing at my defense?"

"Hello Colonel Andre, I'm drinking vodka alone? This is a bit disappointing for old friends. If you have wine, you should drink it with your friends, right? I'll come today and bring you another guest."

The tent door was lifted up again, and Jason walked in from outside. Andrei's eyes lit up. He had only recently learned that this foreign widow existed. When countries went to the Jin Kingdom, the military supplies were not good. She raised the turnover from many parties and helped the countries a lot. Tiele also accepted her many favors. Although her military supplies were sold at a very high price, it was better than not being able to buy them. Especially this widow was beautiful and rich, Andrei was planning to pursue her and get both personal wealth.

He didn't understand why this Fusang man was so kind, but he stood up and saluted. "Beautiful lady, it's really my honor to come. In fact, I also thought of inviting you to come and watch our Tiel Empire hunting. As long as you come with me on the battlefield now, you can see Tiel's athletes and destroy the style of the barbarians."

Jason shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. I'm here today to rescue our important partner of Huabi Foreign Company, and also one of my partners, Mr. Zhao Guanhou. He is in the martial arts school where you attack. If he suffers any accidents, I think the exchanges between us will cause immeasurable losses. I hope you can immediately order to terminate the battle."

Andre shook his head, "I'm sorry, this may not be possible. Our Tiel Warriors are about to hold the entire castle in their hands. At this time, no one can stop..."

Banxi smiled, "Hissergeant Andre, I think this is too early. Our Fuso Army has entered the Tucheng for mediation. I think that the soldiers of your country will follow our persuasion, stop the offensive actions, and avoid accidental injuries. Please believe our soldiers, they are very good at persuading others."

Andrei's face turned ugly, "Banxijun, are you talking about Fusang's soldiers attacking the rear of our army?"
