The Qing Dynasty

Chapter 196 A solemn warning to you
At the critical moment, Teng Yuzhao leaned forward, stretched out his right hand like lightning, and accurately put his index finger into the trigger of the Mauser pistol in Xu Ting's hand. When Xu Ting pulled the trigger, he used his finger as a pad to block the trigger that Xu Ting pulled hard.

Then Teng Yuzhao quickly twisted his hand and snatched the Mauser pistol from Xu Ting's hand.

He turned around and glared at Xu Ting, cursing, "Killing him may be a relief for you, but who will collect the bodies? Do you want them to rot there?"

After saying that, he fired the gun and casually threw the Mauser pistol back into the hands of Xu Ting, who was standing there in a daze with red eyes.

Then, Teng Yuzao turned around and glared at Wu Peifu who was quietly putting the Browning back into the holster, and then he smiled apologetically to Leiman and little Christian, whose faces also changed color.

"Young people are easily impulsive. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

After saying that, Teng Yuzao turned to the frightened Phillips and said with a faint smile, "Colonel, can I take your words as a threat?"

Phillips had just had a near-death experience and his lips were trembling, so he didn't dare to speak again.

After Teng Yuzhao smiled contemptuously, he put away the smile on his face and spoke word by word in a cold tone.

"Go back and tell Seymour and Gasley that the Chinese are not scared. Not to mention now, even a hundred years later, in front of the Chinese, you British are nothing more than a clown. It is useless for us to say more now. Let's see the outcome on the battlefield."

Teng Yuzao then said to Phillips viciously, "I got the information that you have brought here the so-called super cannons used in the battle against the Boers in South Africa."

"I, Teng Yuzao, the commander of the Vanguard Army, solemnly warn you that if you dare to use this kind of poison gas bomb to harm my subordinates during the battle with the Vanguard Army, I promise that the Vanguard Army will never keep any British prisoners from now on, including those who are now our prisoners."

"Ouch!"

"Uncle Master, please stop kicking me. Who can withstand your kick? Ouch!"

Wu Peifu's anxious cries for help could be heard from time to time.

Then came Liu Nineteen's gruff voice, "If I kick you, I'll whip you too, so stop right there, kid."

In the early morning, Teng Yuzhao was on the roof of the small building on the southeast corner of the city wall. The situation here was very different from that of last night.

Last night, there were only a few sandbags piled up next to the parapet on the roof, but now, chest-high sandbags have been neatly stacked next to the parapet. Except for a few shooting holes, the hollow patterns made of bricks on the parapet on the roof are completely covered up.

Even a table and two chairs were brought up from the roof. On the table was a magnetic telephone and the G98 that Teng Yuzhao usually used.

At this moment, Teng Yuzhao was holding a telescope, standing behind a sandbag on the parapet, observing carefully outside the more than 40-meter-long gap in the city wall in the southeast corner of the south city, completely ignoring the chaos and cries for mercy behind him.

On the roof behind Teng Yuzhao, Wu Peifu and Liu Shijiu were circling around the table. Liu Shijiu was chasing and Wu Peifu was running, the two of them were spinning around one after the other.

"Brother, take a break."

I don't know if he was annoyed by the quarrel between the two, or if he was a little worried about Wu Peifu. Although Wu Peifu had practiced some martial arts, he was still a complete rookie compared to the highly skilled Liu Nineteen. How could he withstand Liu Nineteen's fists and feet?
After hearing Teng Yuzhao's voice, Liu Shijiu stopped and glared at Wu Peifu hatefully.

Wu Peifu hurriedly said with a smile, "Uncle Master, calm down. It's not that I don't want to deal with that Englishman."

As Wu Peifu spoke, he pointed at Teng Yuzao's back and said, "Besides, someone has to collect the bodies of those foreign devils! Otherwise, we can't bear it!"

Liu Shijiu knew that it was Teng Yuzhao's obstruction that allowed the Englishman to escape from Xu Ting's gun, but he still cursed.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known this earlier, even if the two armies didn't kill the envoys during the battle, I would have broken his legs before he left the city, and I would have gotten rid of my anger."

Liu Shijiu muttered again, "It's just more than a thousand bodies. I'll send some people to collect them at night and find a place to bury them." Liu Shijiu's last sentence was obviously a complaint to Teng Yuzhao. Teng Yuzhao could not help but smile bitterly, put down the telescope in his hand and turned around.

Teng Yuzao had just seen off Leiman, little Christian and his group, and had hurried here again. This location was very good, being more than 500 meters away from the gap in the city wall, and only more than 400 meters away from the ruins where the remnants of the coalition forces were hiding in the city.

The most powerful thing is that there are two plane trees with thick, lush green leaves near the small building. Because of their obstruction, the detailed situation here cannot be seen from outside the city, or even in the ruins where the remnants of the Allied forces are huddled. However, from the rooftop, through the gaps between the branches and leaves, everything can be observed clearly.

"Brother, even if you send people to collect the bodies, where are you going to bury them? Are you going to bury them in the city?"

Teng Yuzao walked back to the table, put the telescope in his hand on the table, and continued to say to Liu Shijiu, "Even if we can't defend Tianjin City in the end and it is temporarily occupied by the coalition forces, we will always come back. We can't keep these invaders buried in the city!"

Liu Nineteen sat down on a chair with a frustrated look on his face. "I understand that you don't want me to kill that Englishman, but I just can't get rid of the anger in my heart."

"It's ok."

Seeing that Liu Shijiu was no longer bothered about Phillips, Teng Yuzao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After they take away the bodies, I will order you to eliminate the remaining coalition forces in the city."

"Are you serious? I'm going to organize the troops right now and make sure all these foreign devils are chopped to pieces alive."

As soon as he heard that Teng Yuzhao agreed to let him eliminate the remaining coalition forces in front of him, Liu Shijiu jumped up from his chair and turned around to go down.

Teng Yuzhao quickly reached out and grabbed Liu Shijiu, pressing him down on the chair.

"Don't be impatient. I mean wait until the coalition forces take the bodies away before you destroy them. There's still enough time."

Liu Shijiu sat back in his seat in dismay. Suddenly, he thought of another question and asked Teng Yuzao in confusion, "Xingfu, what is that super cannon you mentioned? How big can that cannon be? Is it very powerful?"

Teng Yuzao had just taken out a cigarette from his silver cigarette case when Wu Peifu used the lighter in his hand to light the cigarette for him.

Teng Yuzao took a deep breath and said, "The super cannon I mentioned is a name that the British gave to cover up their tracks. In fact, its caliber is not a big problem. The most important thing is that it is a poison gas shell. Its official name in the British is a low-profile cannon. When the shell hits the ground, it will emit a cloud of green smoke. If people and animals inhale this green smoke, they will die immediately."

Teng Yuzao's words made Liu Shijiu and Wu Peifu gasp. Liu Shijiu said bitterly, "Damn it, this British guy is really vicious."

Teng Yuzao continued, "But the British don't have many of these cannons. They just shipped two from South Africa. Moreover, the killing range of this poison gas shell is not large, only about one meter. The farther the distance, the weaker its toxicity will be. However, it will still cause irreversible damage to personnel. If you encounter this kind of shell that explodes with green smoke, you must be in the upper wind and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel as quickly as possible. You will be fine. The most you will suffer is skin burns."

Wu Peifu asked, "Teacher, you have warned that Gasley, he should not dare to use this kind of poison gas shells against our vanguard army, right?"

Teng Yuzao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. When the British are desperate, they will dare to use anything. Therefore, we have to prevent this kind of poison gas bomb. I have written the relevant protective measures to the deputy chief of staff, and he will issue them to you soon."

"so."

Teng Yuzao looked at Liu Shijiu and said, "This time, to eliminate the remaining coalition forces, we need to capture a few living British people, real British people, so that the British will be afraid to use poison gas bombs against us."

"Teacher, the foreign devils are coming."

Teng Yuzao and Liu Shijiu both hurried to the parapet and raised their telescopes to look in the direction of the gap.

In the telescope, I saw more than 300 shirtless Indians and Japanese soldiers, led by several British and Japanese officers, driving carts or pushing wooden carts, holding white flags to collect the bodies.
