Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

In a flash, no one expected that this Gadiford actually had a pistol hidden on his body. The two were only a dozen meters apart, and it was too late even if he wanted to dodge or cover!

boom!

The bullet hit Long Ruyuan right in the chest. Long Ruyuan looked at the bloody hole in his chest in disbelief, and his body slowly fell down.

Ah!

Liu Ye let out a shrill scream and with two leaps he was in front of Gadifu. He kicked Gadifu in the wrist and kicked his injured pistol away. Then he made a vicious palm strike, slashing Gadifu's neck and knocking him to the ground!

Before Gadifu had time to be happy, he was stunned by Liu Ye's extremely ferocious move. Gadifu fell to the ground. Liu Ye jumped on Gadifu's body and smashed Gadifu's head with his iron fists like raindrops!

Bang bang bang!

Liu Ye was really extremely angry. During these days of getting along, Long Ruyuan was like an elder brother, taking great care of himself and He Zhengqing, which made Liu Ye deeply moved. Such an elder was killed by the foreigners under his nose because of his momentary negligence. How could Guo Ye let it go easily?

The surrounding soldiers quickly lifted up Long Ruyuan for treatment. As for He Zhengqing, he also reacted at this time, rushed to Liu Ye and pulled the crazy Liu Ye up. He didn't want to stop Liu Ye, but wanted to punch him a few times to vent his anger. However, when his fist was swung towards Gadifu, Gadifu's head was covered in blood and he was breathing more than in. Liu Ye was furious and hit him hard. After more than a dozen punches, Gadifu's life was taken!

He Zhengqing kicked him a few times angrily and complained, "Brother, your fists are too fierce. I was beaten to death by you in just a few blows. At least you want me to vent my anger!"

Liu Ye didn't answer and hurried to Long Ruyuan. At this time, Long Ruyuan and Shi Rongchun were lying side by side. Both of them were obviously seriously injured and there was no hope of recovery...

Liu Ye hit his head hard twice, but in the end he could not change history. The two heroes eventually died heroically for their country.

He Zhengqing and Dong Cheng ordered the others to clean up the battlefield and remove the prisoners and corpses. At this moment, the neighing of war horses was heard again in the distance, and a group of horsemen rushed over at a rapid speed.

It was Senggelinqin who led the charge. After receiving the battle report, Senggelinqin rushed all the way from Tianjin to Dagukou to take charge. Senggelinqin shouted, "Yintang, Yintang!"

He Zhengqing and Dong Cheng did not dare to neglect their duty. They hurried a few steps to the front of Senggelinqin's horse, bowed their front legs, and said, "The humble servant He Zhengqing (Dong Cheng) greets His Majesty!"

"Where is your commander Yin? How is the battle going?"

Senggelinqin shouted.

He Zhengqing said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, in the battle of Dagukou, our army has repelled the foreigners' attack and sunk five of their warships, large and small. The number of damaged warships is unknown. The foreigners' flagship was severely damaged by me and Guo Ye and is now left on the sea. However, in the fierce battle, General Yin and General Long Ruyuan were both seriously injured. I am afraid they are doomed..."

Senggelinqin was shocked. Shi Rongchun was his right-hand man. The current political situation was in turmoil, and he had relied on him at the right time. He had never expected to end up in such a situation! Senggelinqin dismounted and, accompanied by He Zhengqing and Dong Cheng, came before Shi Rongchun and Long Ruyuan.

Senggelinqin stepped forward quickly and called softly, "Yintang, Yintang..."

At this time, Shi Rongchun was obviously on his deathbed. He signaled Liu Ye to come over with his eyes, and Liu Ye hurried over.

Shi Rongchun whispered, "Monk King, the last thing I can do for you is to hand this young man over to you. Liu Ye is a man of great talent. The current situation is chaotic, and the court needs him. I beg Your Highness to help him. One day, he will surely..."

Before he could finish his words, Shi Rongchun straightened his body and passed away suddenly!

"Yintang, Yintang!"

Senggelinqin called out repeatedly, but no one responded.

Everyone was in tears, and Liu Ye was even more heartbroken. Without Shi Rongchun, he was afraid that he would have been destroyed in the hands of those old soldiers at the North Fort. It was tantamount to saving his life. And before they said goodbye, he recommended him to Senggelinqin. This friendship was as heavy as Mount Tai!

Senggelinqin looked at Liu Ye and said in a deep voice, "Liu Ye, Yintang recommended you to me many times when he was alive. It was only because you were young and inexperienced that Yintang and I decided to place you in the North Fort for training. After today's battle, I am very pleased. Yintang has indeed recommended an unparalleled general to me! After this matter is settled, I will naturally recommend you strongly in the court and guarantee your official position. This is also a way to explain to Yintang. You must serve the country wholeheartedly and do not let Yintang down!"

Liu Ye said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Liu Ye will never let down Marshal Yin and you. I will definitely take revenge on those foreign devils for this hatred!"

Senggelinqin nodded and replied, "Okay, in that case, first transport the bodies of Yintang and General Long back to Tianjin and choose a day for a proper burial. We will return to the South Fort to discuss state affairs. This battle has dealt a heavy blow to the foreigners, and they will definitely not give up!"

Liu Ye shook his head and replied, "Your Highness, the most urgent task is to quickly salvage the warship from the sea. Even among the British Navy, that warship is first-class and extremely advanced, and it is equipped with numerous firearms. We urgently need it for combat. If we retrieve all of it, it will surely be of great use in future wars..."

Senggelinqin looked at Liu Ye solemnly and said, "That huge ship must weigh at least several million jin. How can it be pulled ashore?"

Liu Ye replied, "Your Highness, when I rushed to the South Fort with General He, I had already ordered a large number of ropes to be prepared. We only need to tie them to the warship's cables and mobilize dozens of war horses. I believe we can do it. After all, the warship is still on the water, and with the help of buoyancy, we can save a lot of energy. The construction of this giant ship will cost no less than 600,000 or 700,000 taels of silver. We absolutely cannot throw it away in vain. Moreover, if we capture this ship and transport it to the capital, it will surely become a valuable weapon to boost national prestige and strengthen military morale..."

Senggelinqin was awed. Yes, this was the most important thing. The imperial court was plagued by internal and external troubles, surrounded by wolves. They absolutely needed such a huge trophy to boost the morale of the army and deter the scoundrels! Moreover, handing such a huge captive to the imperial court would be a great achievement!

Senggelinqin shouted, "Gather all the horses at the fort and prepare to salvage the foreigner's flagship immediately!"
