Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

Wei Xiaobao looked at the two people who were in pain and said with concern: "You two should go back to the yacht! This is not a place for you to stay." Then he was about to take them back.

But Shuang'er and Lingzhao shook their heads firmly, indicating that they were unwilling to leave him.

Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to wait patiently, hoping that they would recover as soon as possible.

At the same time, the multinational coalition forces were still carrying out John's order to capture the main general of the Qing army. They surrounded the remaining Qing soldiers at the west gate.

At this time, Li Chengdong and He Yu each found a musket from the pile of dead bodies, and together with more than 200 wounded soldiers, they confronted the Western devils.

In the west gate tower, Suo Etu and Fulata were sitting in the corner.

"Master Zhongtang, did you hear the dense gunfire just now?" Fulata asked Soetu.

"I heard it, but there was too much smoke on the river bank and I couldn't see the specific situation clearly," Soetu responded.

"Master Zhongtang, do you think reinforcements are coming?" Fu Lata said excitedly.

"Well, if it was the sound of gunfire on land, then it must be the reinforcements that have arrived. But we are all here, and no one will send reinforcements, unless the emperor is smart and knows that we are surrounded." Soetu frowned and said suspiciously.

"Yes, among the navy of Liangjiang, only the Chongming navy is missing, but it is most likely in danger. There is no navy that can attack these Western devils." Fu Lata shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Forget it, don't think about it. If I can die here, it can be regarded as resisting foreign humiliation and being loyal to the country." Soetu closed his eyes and muttered silently.

Just when the two were in despair, suddenly a burst of dense gunfire came from a distance, as deafening as firecrackers. The two were so frightened that their faces changed drastically and they immediately fell to the ground and trembled.

Zhu Youli stood on the ruins of the county town, looking at the Western devils in front of him, with a flash of anger in his eyes. He waved his hand to signal the heavy machine gunner to prepare to shoot, and with a command, the heavy machine gun roared, and strings of flames sprayed at the enemies under the city wall in front.

The soldiers witnessed the tragic fate of the civilians in the city, and their hearts were filled with grief and anger. They clenched their weapons and rushed forward bravely.

Heavy machine guns, Mauser rifles, and close-combat grenades rained down on the Western devils. After a fierce battle, except for those who knelt down to surrender, the rest of the Western devils lay on the ground and did not move.

Li Chengdong and He Yu on the city wall looked at these strangely dressed troops in horror. In less than ten minutes of charging, they wiped out more than a thousand Western devils under the city wall and captured more than two thousand devils.

Li Chengdong was amazed in his heart, the fighting power of this army was too strong. He opened his eyes wide, trying to see the enemy's flag, but he couldn't see it clearly because of the distance.

He was puzzled. Who were these people?

At this time, a soldier reminded him: "General, do you want to send someone down to ask?"

After hesitating for a moment, Li Chengdong decided to go and ask in person. He stood up and shouted towards the city wall: "May I ask which unit you brothers are from?"

The soldiers under the city heard the voice and looked up at Li Chengdong. One of the soldiers responded loudly: "We are from the 1st Regiment of the Eastern Fleet Marine Brigade of the Tiandi Army. Which unit are you from?"

Li Chengdong and He Yu looked at each other and both cried out at the same time: "Jinxia rebels!"

Because of the two traitors, Zhou Asan and Xiaoqian, the rebel numbers are no longer a secret.

They had heard some news about the Jinxia rebels, saying that they had advanced weapons and equipment and were extremely powerful. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were indeed as good as the rumors said.

Li Chengdong could not help but feel worried. He had just sent away a group of wolves, and now a tiger came. He hurriedly asked He Yu, "Sir, how should we deal with it next?"

He Yu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, we must not have any friendship with the rebels, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the emperor."

Li Chengdong nodded to show that he understood. Faced with such a situation, they must act cautiously to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

Seeing that the other party did not respond for a long time, the soldier raised his hand and shot at the city wall. A crisp gunshot was heard, and the sound of the bullet hitting the city wall echoed in the sky.

Then he shouted loudly: "If you don't reply, we will regard you as accomplices of the Western red-haired devils, and we will shoot you to death!"

"Don't shoot, don't shoot!" Soetu heard clearly what he had just said to the soldier in the city gate tower.

When he heard the soldiers announce the rebels' numbers, Suo Etu was startled and a chill ran through his heart. But he calmed down and thought to himself, "Since the Tiandi Army can appear in Shanghai County, it means that they have recaptured the Shanghai Port at the mouth of the Yangtze River. It seems that these foreign devils are no match for the Tiandi Army."

Suo Etu knew very well that only the ironclad ships of the Tiandi Army could compete with the Western devils.

He couldn't help but sigh, the foreign devils were foreigners after all, and the Tiandi Army was also Chinese. Although the Tiandi Army had accepted the Jinxia rebels and was hostile to the Qing Dynasty, they should be united in resisting foreign humiliation when facing the foreign devils.

Thinking of this, Suo Etu gradually calmed down. Although the emperor had said before that he was not allowed to have any friendship with the leader of the Tiandi Army, the traitor Wei Xiaobao, at this moment in his mind, expelling the foreign devils was the most important thing.

So, he decided to temporarily put aside his grudge with Wei Xiaobao and focus on resolving the current situation.

Soetu understood and came out with a smile on his face, but when he came out, he pulled Fulata out with him.

"Brother, don't shoot. I am the leader here. Please ask your leader to come out and talk!" said Soetu.

Seeing that Soetu spoke politely, the soldier put away his gun, agreed, and turned back to find Brigade Commander Zhu.

After a while, Zhu Youli came over with a regiment commander named Jiang Dazhi, who was formerly the lieutenant general of the Fujian Han Camp.

Zhu Youli walked to the west gate, clasped his fists towards Suo Etu on the city wall and said, "I am Zhu Youli, the commander of the Eastern Fleet Marine Brigade of the Tiandi Army. May I ask who the old man upstairs is?"

"General Zhu, nice to meet you. My name is Suo'etu, and I'm the leader of the Jiangnan Han Camp." Although Suo'etu gave his real name, he did not give his official title. He was the one above everyone else, and he was worried that if he gave his official title he would be captured by the soldiers, which would cause trouble.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youli thought to himself, "This Suo Etu looks like a civil official, but he must be in his 50s or 60s, so he doesn't look like a military commander at all." Thinking of this, Zhu Youli clasped his fists and saluted again, saying, "It turns out to be Lord Suo. I have heard of your great name for a long time! I wonder why Lord Suo has come here this time?"
