Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye laughed heartily. "Duanhua, Jiao Youying, you two are useless. Haha, if Sushun were here, I'd be really worried about the safety of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. But with just the two of you, you're nowhere near as strong as them! Zuo Baogui! Move!"

Duan Hua sneered, "Liu Ye, don't forget, I'm the acting commander-in-chief of Baoding Town! Zuo Baogui, listen to my orders!"

Zuo Baogui on the side had already felt very aggrieved. It was so good to follow Lord Liu, but following Duanhua, he was just a punching bag. Now he is even rebelling. Only a fool would listen to him!

"Shut your shitty mouth! I'm Lord Liu's soldier, not yours, Duanhua. Damn it, you've fallen into my hands today!"

Zuo Baogui shouted loudly.

At this time, Cixi and Ci'an also fully reacted. Liu Ye, it was Liu Ye who arrived. Didn't he receive the imperial edict and go to Shandong? God have mercy on me, it's lucky that he was here, otherwise, the three of them would all die here!

It is true that Liu Ye received the imperial edict, but this was originally a deception played by Liu Ye. Otherwise, how could Baoding Town be close to the imperial court? Otherwise, how could Wang Huanzhang win the trust of Su Shun?

Liu Ye exchanged the military power of Baoding Town for Wang Huanzhang's promotion, and also sent Baoding Town to the imperial court. However, he could not go to Shandong, because without him, Liu Ye, who would these people in Baoding Town listen to? It was hard to say. This group of arrogant and powerful generals could only be suppressed if he was in charge himself!

Liu Ye received the imperial edict and pretended to go to Jinan with a few followers. After walking for dozens of miles, he turned around and headed north, rushing to the temporary palace. The entire Baoding Town was full of his trusted friends. Not to mention arranging for them to hide, they would not even blink an eye even if they followed him in rebellion!

Under Zuo Baogui's arrangement, Liu Ye has been guarding around Xingzai for the past two days. Even the fast horses sent by Yuchang were killed by him in private!

He didn't see Yu Chang when he came again, but Duan Hua's mobilization of the army alarmed him. Liu Ye felt that the situation had worsened, so he led more than ten people to sneak to the vicinity of the two palaces and killed them.

Now Liu Ye and more than a dozen other people are armed with rifles, and the Baoding Town army on the periphery has also begun to act. The Beijing Camp is now in chaos. Yes, there are a large number of Duan Hua's confidants mobilizing troops and attempting to rebel, but there are also those who are unwilling to rebel, and those who are quite fence-sitters. The entire Beijing Camp is in chaos, but Baoding Town is different. Now Lord Liu Ye is right next to them, with a clear attitude. How can they not understand? They have made up their minds to kill everyone, and those who don't listen will be shot immediately. As long as they put down their weapons honestly, they can save their lives!

At this time, facing the muskets of the elite soldiers of Baoding Town, all the people in the Beijing camp were dumbfounded. Except for Duanhua's diehard followers, they all threw away their weapons!

When Duanhua saw that the situation had changed, his heart immediately sank. It was over. Something terrible was happening. Something terrible was happening!

Yu Chang was really ruthless at this time. Although his wrist was broken, he still wanted to fight desperately. After all, he still had nearly a hundred people here, while Liu Ye only had a dozen people! Who was afraid of who?

Yu Chang roared, "Don't just stand there like idiots! Attack now! Whoever kills Liu Ye will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold. If you find more seals, you'll be rewarded with 5,000 taels of gold. If you kill the little emperor, you'll be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold! Kill him now!"

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. Thousands and thousands of taels of gold are something you can’t earn in several lifetimes!

Go!

Upon hearing this, the Qing soldiers under Yu Chang shouted and rushed forward, waving their weapons!

However, Zuo Baogui was no pushover. Seeing the Qing soldiers rushing up, he shouted, "Open fire immediately to protect the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Anyone who comes close will be killed without mercy. Our brothers are coming up soon!"

Bang bang bang!

The rifles of the Baoding brothers rang out rapidly. The two sides were only about twenty meters apart. At such a close distance, if they were hit, they would immediately lose their combat effectiveness! After only two or three waves of shooting, a large number of Yuchang's men had fallen. However, at this time, the others also rushed up!

Liu Ye sneered and shouted, "Brother Zuo, this time it's up to you!"

Zuo Baogui laughed, threw away the rifle in his hand, picked up a shining ghost-head knife, shouted, and rushed forward! The rest of the brothers also rushed forward!

Eleven men against seventy!

However, even with these eleven people, the Qing soldiers were still defeated. Zuo Baogui's ghost-head sword danced like the wind, and he was unstoppable. The other few people were also tough guys who had fought in the great war against Tsarist Russia. They were extremely fierce. How could they be compared with these old soldiers of Yuchang?

Duanhua was sweating more and more. No, he would definitely not get any advantage this time. The outside was in chaos. He had to run immediately and find Sushun. Only Sushun could save the situation at this time!

Duan Hua grabbed Jiao Youying and shouted, "Go, run!"

The two of them turned around and ran!

Bang, bang!

Two gunshots were fired.

Ahhh...

Screams were heard, and Duan Hua and Jiao Youying fell to the ground one after another, covering their thighs, cold sweat pouring out!

Liu Ye raised the pistol in his hand, blew on the muzzle, and said with a smile: "What do you two think? Do you still want to run away now?"

At this time, other soldiers from Baoding Town also began to rush over and join the battle. Liu Ye stood steadily at the back, smiled at Cixi, and said, "Empress Dowager, I am sorry to have frightened you!"

Cixi's heart was still pounding. What a close call, what a close call. This Liu Ye was so bad. He had expected it by now, but he didn't come to see her. He suddenly showed up at this time, and scared her so much. Damn enemy!

Cixi said angrily, "Alright, Admiral Liu, the Emperor and I are not going to die yet. You better find a way to control the situation!"

Ci'an, on the other hand, was much more amiable and said, "Liu Ye, this time it's all thanks to you. The emperor and I will never forget you, a meritorious official!"

Liu Ye bowed and said, "It's very chaotic outside. Please ask the two queen dowagers to escort the emperor back to the tent. I will guard this place well!"

Ci'an nodded and hugged the pale little emperor and said to Cixi: "Sister, let's hide for a while..."

Cixi's face was somewhat gloomy, and she replied: "Sister, you take the emperor and hide for a while. I want to watch Liu Ye deal with these rebels here with my own eyes!"

Seeing Cixi's determined expression, Ci'an nodded helplessly, lifted the tent and walked in!

Cixi glanced at Liu Ye with resentment and said in a hateful voice, "My enemy, are you not going to come out until my mother and I are in danger?"
