The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 130 Beware of the Allied Cavalry

After firing this shot, Teng Yuzhao finally felt relieved. Although this Browning 1900 was the first and earliest model, its caliber was the same as that of later generations, both were 7.65 caliber, and the recoil was not much different.

When Teng Yuzhao raised his gun again, he had no scruples. As long as the Japanese cavalrymen fighting exposed enough area in his sight, he would dare to shoot decisively. With the sound of "bang bang", the Japanese cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another.

Even if the Japanese cavalrymen's ponies suddenly accelerated or jumped when Teng Yuzhao was shooting, causing the cavalrymen on horseback to not be hit in vital parts and only be injured, these Japanese cavalrymen would still be hacked to death by the cavalry battalion's soldiers.

Teng Yuzhao had used up the eight Browning bullets in his hand. There were only more than twenty cavalry battalion officers and soldiers left nearby, surrounding and killing the few remaining Japanese cavalrymen. At this time, Teng Yuzhao finally felt relieved.

Although there were many cavalrymen in training in the cavalry camp, for most of them, this was their first time fighting with real swords and guns. It was difficult for Teng Yuzhao to feel at ease whether they could withstand the fierce attack of the Japanese cavalry.

However, there is no problem now. With so many people in the cavalry battalion surrounding and killing several Japanese cavalrymen, it can give them more opportunities to practice in actual combat. If they still suffer injuries under such an advantageous situation, it can only be regarded as the necessary blood price they pay in the process of their growth.

At this moment, bursts of gunfire were faintly heard in the direction of Tianjin City behind the coalition reinforcements, and the gunfire seemed to be getting closer and closer, which made Teng Yuzhao feel a little relieved. He knew that it must be because Yu Lu was worried about Dong Juzi and sent reinforcements.

However, judging from the direction, it is very likely that some troops were withdrawn from Laolongtou Railway Station and Tianjin City, which would give the Russian troops in Laolongtou Railway Station a chance to catch their breath.

Teng Yuzhao couldn't help but secretly shake his head at Yu Lu's behavior.

Although Yu Lu had also served as a general, he was ultimately a civil servant, and he did not have the combat experience of commanding a large army to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom like Li Hongzhang. He was just a general in name only who had served in the army. He had no sensitivity to timing in war, and he did not have enough courage!

If he had sent out reinforcements earlier, or even sent out the 3,000 men of Hu Dianjia's Wuwei front army rear team to attack and threaten the coalition forces' rear, whether the coalition forces would still dare to concentrate their superior forces and attack Dongjuzi from three directions would be a very questionable question.

Teng Yuzhao listened to the gunfire in the East Bureau, which was no longer as dense as when he just rushed over. He could even hear the sound of heavy machine guns just now, but now it seemed that only the east and the Northeast Army could still hear the sound of heavy machine guns. It also seemed that the Allied Forces were operating the heavy machine guns to suppress the small number of Wuwei Front Army members who were still resisting on the city.

Obviously, there are not many people from the Wuwei Vanguard Army still resisting in Dongjuzi.

This made Teng Yuzao anxious, and he couldn't help but look back towards the woods hundreds of meters away.

Wherever Teng Yuzhao looked, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. In the distance, the woods were already filled with smoke and dust, rushing towards him. He hurriedly took his binoculars from the soldiers of the guard squad.

Liu Shijiu should have led the assault team around the woods not long ago. At this moment, he was waving the ghost-head sword in his hand, looking back and shouting something, while riding his horse to the front of the team.

Not far behind Liu Shijiu's horse, Teng Yuzhao vaguely saw Wu Peifu's figure in the assault brigade that was galloping towards them.

Teng Yuzao was worried about Wu Peifu's safety, and originally arranged for him to lead the guard squad to follow Liu Yuzhi's regiment. Unexpectedly, he now appeared in Liu Shijiu's assault brigade. Teng Yuzao did not think that Wu Peifu was eager to make a contribution, but thought that Wu Peifu was worried about his safety, so he could not wait to catch up with him, which made Teng Yuzao happy and a little uneasy.

Teng Yuzhao did not think that Wu Peifu cared about his safety out of a sincere and noble heart that a teacher is like a father. After all, he had only been in contact with Wu Peifu for two days. Even if he became Wu Peifu's teacher, two days was still too short.

Teng Yuzhao thought that the reason why Wu Peifu was like this now was because he had fully realized that only with the presence of his benefactor, could he, Wu Peifu, have a bright future. Without this benefactor, he, Wu Peifu, would still be nothing and might even have to start from a small private.

If that were the case, for Wu Peifu, at least for now he would be facing an unknown future without any light at all. The difference between him now and then is almost as great as heaven and earth.

After all, Wu Peifu is not Teng Yuzao, who has the innate advantage of foresight.

However, in Teng Yuzao's opinion, it was enough for Wu Peifu to have this idea. Teng Yuzao would not look down on Wu Peifu for this. On the contrary, he believed that the fact that Wu Peifu had this idea not only showed that he was a smart person, but also a person who recognized the reality.

As long as you are a realistic person, you will have strong desires, and people with desires are easier to control.

Moreover, from a historical perspective, Wu Peifu was a man of great patriotism who would never become a traitor. He was also a man of great backbone. What was most rare was that he was also a hero who knew how to repay his gratitude.

Although Teng Yuzhao was very happy to see Wu Peifu like this, he didn't want to see any accident happen to his student.

Teng Yuzhao secretly made up his mind that in the future, whenever possible, he would try his best to avoid putting Wu Peifu in danger. It would be terrible if God played a joke on him and killed this historical Beiyang leader.

Since Liu Shijiu's assault brigade has arrived, Liu Yuzhi's regiment will not be far away, and should be right behind the assault brigade.

Teng Yuzhao no longer had time to observe the situation where Xue Qian was leading the cavalry battalion to fight against the Japanese cavalry, and shouted to the only remaining messenger who was also surrounded by the cavalry.

"Pass on my order, order the assault brigade to ignore the Japanese cavalry here, and do not stay. Charge into the East Bureau as quickly as possible and drive out the coalition forces inside."

"Once the regiment arrives, immediately attack the British troops in the northeast corner from the front and north, and tell them to be careful of the coalition cavalry."

Although because the coalition forces arrived early and launched a fierce attack right away, this was somewhat different from history. Teng Yuzhao was not sure whether the Cossack cavalry regiment was included in the current coalition forces, but Teng Yuzhao did not dare to be careless at all. He was still very afraid of the Cossack cavalry.
