"?!"

Looking at his empty left hand.

Xu Yun's pupils shrank suddenly.

He subconsciously grabbed a few handfuls of air, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

He quickly looked around, with a rare hint of panic in his tone, and shouted with all his might:

"Aveline! Aveline! Where are you!"

But what made him feel colder.

No matter how much he shouted, no answer came.

See this situation.

Even though the situation at this time was extremely dangerous, if he didn't pay attention, he might die, Xu Yun still had an extremely brief blank in his mind.

What about the girl?

Wasn't it here just now?

In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Xu Yun's mind.

first.

At this time, the surrounding scene was completely out of control, and every guest was running around like a headless Kennedy.

But not so crowded that an adult can be swept away.

Secondly.

Although Avelyn's character is a little cold, she will never make the move to run away alone-this girl actually cherishes friendship very much.

Furthermore.

It is very close to Prince Albert's position, only three to five meters in front and back, and the guards are quite strict.

Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to stun or kidnap Aveline without making a sound.

So it's obvious.

There is only one possibility before Xu Yun——

The girl Aveline must have been the one who left the scene.

But at such a critical moment, what reason could make her disappear voluntarily?

The baby left by the calf?

Or what remains of Lilani?

Xu Yun faintly felt that he had caught some clues, but it was still vague.

Then, before he could think about it, a third round of gunshots sounded around him.

Bang——

Bang——

Bang——

Several more guests fell to the ground.

Either died on the spot, or convulsed, or wailed in pain.

There are cries, screams and whistles everywhere:

"Help, don't leave me behind!"

"Alison, Alisson, wake up!"

"I flicked my hand, someone give me a hand, please"

But this time, the attacker finally showed some face.

It can be seen by the dim light that there are some figures rushing towards here in an open space on the left side of the auditorium.

At a glance, the number of people is probably at least fifty or more.

See this situation.

The head of the guard, who was in charge of protecting Prince Albert, grabbed the Minie rifle from his subordinate and fired in that direction.

After a second.

A figure in the distance fell heavily, and at the same time there was a howl.

The chief guard threw the rifle back to his subordinates to reload, and he issued the same order as Xu Yun:

"Quick retreat! Protect Your Majesty and evacuate to the auditorium! We will be safe in the auditorium!"

"Everyone together, hurry up!!"

Xu Yun was also called back to reality by this voice, and while protecting Gauss and ran to the auditorium, he took a deep look at this thin and thin head guard.

This person looks thin and weak, but he is really a powerful person at critical moments

What the chief guard really wanted to convey in these words was not his subordinates or Prince Albert, but the hundreds of guests present.

This is a psychological suggestion.

In fact, since the first shot was missed in this round of attack tonight, the meaning of the so-called 'assassination' has been at least half-failed-after all, the dead Kennedy is not a big man with the same name.

As soon as the gunshot missed the target, the guards began to personally guard Albert.

These assassins could only come to the front from Voldemort and start a frontal attack.

However, the attack method has changed from dark to clear, and the crisis of Prince Albert has not been lifted at all:

The other party arranged so many people to attack, they must be ready to attack, and they must take the head of Prince Albert.

Otherwise, it is possible to arrange for a strong assassin to appear on the stage, and flee away immediately after a failed blow.

In other words.

With such a big fight from the opponent, there must be other traps around.

Right now, I don't know how the enemy's layout is. Naturally, it is impossible to escape indiscriminately. I can only find a nearby bunker to hide.

At the same time.

This bunker cannot be breached easily, so the only one that can cover the top at this time is the highest auditorium in Cambridge.

And as the main target of assassination.

Whether Prince Albert is going to the auditorium or after arriving at the auditorium, theoretically there are many risks.

For example, the stray bullets during the escape, or the other party continuing to attack the auditorium frantically.

So what is the solution?

The answer is simple.

Naturally, it is to fool everyone to run over there, so that there are more human shields and defensive manpower.

No matter how useless people are, they can always contribute some strength in times of crisis.

The heart of playing tactics is dirty

Fortunately, Xu Yun and the others were one of the few who took action first, so they ran to the left side of Prince Albert's escort group smoothly - the attacker was on the right side.

A few minutes later.

The panting crowd finally arrived at the auditorium.

"Quick, close the door first, and leave a small door for others to come in!"

After rushing into the auditorium.

The head guard first ordered people to block the gate of the auditorium, leaving only a side door for people to walk through, and then led people to stick to the doorpost to guard.

The rest quickly came to the auditorium and sat down near the podium, recovering their physical strength and spirit.

After taking a deep breath.

Snapped!

A majestic seventy-year-old man in a purple brocade robe with a red flower embroidered on his collar suddenly slapped the table.

Looking aggressively at another middle-aged man who looked like a soldier not far away, he said coldly:

"Sillman, what's going on here?"

"Why are there so many attackers in Cambridge University, which should be strictly guarded?"

"As the person in charge of tonight's vehicle inspection, I now reasonably question your loyalty to His Majesty!"

Swish——

After the old man finished speaking, everyone's eyes instantly locked on the middle-aged man.

There were even a few nobles who had been stimulated to a stress response, and subconsciously drew out their knives regardless of Prince Albert's presence.

"Be safe, Lord Grafton."

Just when the atmosphere was a little dignified.

Prince Albert spoke, and he stretched out his hand and pressed it down a few times, with a calm expression on his face:

"Sillman has been by my side for twenty-four years. He has served and followed me since I was not in England. There is no need to question his loyalty."

"In my opinion, most of these attackers sneaked into Cambridge University by some other means. This matter can be investigated after tonight."

"What we have to consider right now is not why the attackers appeared here, but how to calm down the attack on Bourne!"

At the end of Prince Albert's speech, he suddenly called out a name.

The head guard who heard the words earlier turned around from the entrance and trotted to Albert:

"His Majesty!"

Prince Albert glanced out the window where the gunshots were still going on, and asked the chief guard:

"Bourne, how many attackers are there outside?"

Bourne knelt down on one knee, put his hand on his shoulder, and said respectfully:

"Returning to Your Majesty, the exact number of attackers is still unknown, but judging from the firing interval of the firearms, there are about seventy people."

The rate of fire of the Minie rifle is 2 to 4 rounds per minute, of which the rate of 4 rounds will not be reached until 1877.

Now the Minie rifle has just been born for less than five months, and the rate of fire is generally only two rounds per minute, and a few can reach three rounds.

With such a long time interval, combined with filling time and location, it is indeed possible to roughly determine the number of attackers.

After all, it is impossible for someone who can become the head of the bodyguard without some investigative ability.

"Seventy people."

Prince Albert's fingers tapped the armrest of the chair rhythmically, and the sound of tuk-tuk was very clear in the auditorium.

after awhile.

He glanced at the guard at the door again, and asked Bourne:

"How many weapons do we have?"

Bourne's expression paused slightly, and he replied in a low tone:

"Only... only thirty bayonets, and... five Minie rifles."

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.

Xu Yun also sighed.

Such a small number of weapon configurations is not accidental, nor is it a high-difficulty condition deliberately set by some will for the plot, but the configuration of the king's guard is indeed so bleak.

This involves the division of labor in the British Royal Guard.

British Royal Guard.

It is not so much a force, but more like a special war guard system.

Its subordinates can be divided into three modules: the Royal Division, the Royal Artillery Regiment, and the King's Guard.

in 1850.

The royal division has 5 infantry regiments and 2 cavalry regiments.

The infantry regiments are:

Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scottish Guards, Irish Guards and Welsh Guards.

These five guards are collectively called the Guards Division.

The cavalry regiments are the "Guards Cavalry Regiment" and the "Blue Coats Royal Cavalry Regiment".

These 7 regiments are collectively called the Royal Division.

The 45th Infantry Regiment of the French Army, which Napoleon claimed to be invincible, was defeated by the Royal Division.

The Royal Artillery was established in 1716 by George III.

It currently has 24 mounted artillery teams, 61 ground artillery companies and 79 heavy artillery companies.

The Royal Division and the Royal Artillery Regiment are combined and belong to the external combat module.

When tanks appear in a few decades, there will also be 4 Royal Guard regiments in the Royal Armored Tank Force.

In the entire external combat module, the first battalion of the Coldstream Guards will participate in the changing of the Guards, and the others will at most serve as ceremonial guards.

The third module of the British Royal Guard is actually responsible for the personal security of the royal family members.

That is the King's Guard.

It is further divided into guards of honor and personal guards, among which the guards of honor are those soldiers who wear bearskin hats in front of Buckingham Palace and claim that they will never laugh and will be posted on YouTube if they smile.

The personal guards are Bourne and others who are with Prince Albert.

A king's personal guard usually consists of two 'regiments'.

They are a mix of the red St. James regiment and the blue Buckingham regiment. Since ancient times, red and blue have produced CP.

However, these two "regiments" are said to be regiments, but in fact they only have 43 troops:

Each regiment has an officer and 20 soldiers, and the immediate boss of the two regiments is a chief guard, that is, Bourne.

The rank position in 1850, the rank of major in Xu Yunchuan's later generations.

And damn it.

The British king or queen's personal guards will not be equipped with firearms themselves.

If you don’t believe me, you can search for the key words ‘Queen Elizabeth in 1981’, and you will see a very outrageous piece of news:

During the Queen's Birthday Parade in 1981, a 17-year-old boy shot at the Queen. Although it was finally confirmed that the bullets were hollow bullets with no sound, Elizabeth was shot six times.

This matter is already outrageous, and what is even more outrageous is that the queen's personal guards captured the boy by covering his mouth with his hands because they did not have live ammunition.

Of course.

This is not to say that members of the British royal family will not have gun guards when they travel, but that the pro-guards will not be equipped with live ammunition.

Guards. That is to say, those accompanying troops outside the pro-guards and composed of combat modules will still be equipped with firearms.

but the problem is

Cambridge University is just 100 kilometers outside of London, belonging to the absolute hinterland of London.

Therefore, Prince Albert did not bring too many guards with real guns on this trip.

And those guards were all in the small town of Cambridge at this time, and it would take at least 20 to 30 minutes to arrive at the scene.

So in a short time.

The only thing Prince Albert could rely on was Bourne's 30 bayonets and five Minie rifles-the reason why the bayonets were not fully equipped was mainly because some of the guards did not follow the retreat.

At the same time, what's worse is that this is Cambridge University!

In addition to the audience, there are also a large number of students in the dormitory.

Once those thugs feel that the assassination is completely fruitless, they might turn their heads and point their guns at those students.

After all, if there are too many casualties, even if he is the king, he will be under pressure.

And just a few seconds after Bourne reported the armed information.

A guard standing at the door in charge of guarding raised his hand and said loudly to Bourne:

"Chief guard, there is a situation!"

Bourne raised his head and glanced at Prince Albert:

"His Majesty."

Prince Albert nodded knowingly:

"Go, you can handle it yourself if there is an emergency."

Bourne saluted him, stood up, and walked quickly to the window.

I saw the vocal guards and Bourne whispering something, Bourne's eyes visible to the naked eye froze, and he listened carefully outside.

After a few seconds.

Bourne turned his head suddenly and said to Prince Albert:

"Your Majesty, it's people from damn Scotland and Tsarist Russia!"

The voice just fell.

As if cooperating with him, shouts with a strong accent sounded in the distance:

"Minger!"

"Sukka Bulie!"

Wow——

Hearing Bourne's words, the originally quiet scene suddenly became noisy again.

Scots and Russians.

One is the northern nation that has been clamoring to split.

The other is a deadly enemy in the Crimean War with Britain.

no doubt.

This is an assassination operation that has been planned for a long time and involves an international war!

At the same time, the Scots are just fine. After all, Scotland has not yet been divided, so it is not difficult to come to London-for example, Laotang and Wheat came from Scotland.

But it is quite intriguing that the Tsarist Russians were able to sneak into London.

A few more seconds passed.

Bourne's voice came again, making everyone's hearts tense:

"Your Majesty, the enemy seems to be splitting up, and some of them are moving towards the auditorium!"

Hear Bourne's words.

Xu Yun heard a few gasps clearly, and even the palm of Gauss holding his wrist added some force.

Even Xu Yun smelled a smell of urine, it was obvious that someone was already fighting.

But luckily.

Prince Albert, the most critical person in charge at this time, is obviously not one of the cowards.

Looking at the gloomy atmosphere visible to the naked eye, he stood up abruptly, and stopped everyone from falling:

"Everyone, be quiet first and listen to me!"

There was a moment of silence around.

Prince Albert looked around and continued to speak loudly:

"Everyone, now we have reached a desperate situation and there is no way to retreat. Instead of crying in panic, it is better to come to him and fight!"

"According to what Byrne said, the opponent has divided up their forces—although the main force attacking the auditorium must be the main force, the number of people will definitely decrease."

"As for our Cambridge students and guests alone, there are close to a hundred people. Counting the king's guard team, the number is about two to three times that of the other party."

"Although the enemy is superior to us in terms of firearms, the reloading speed of the Mines rifle is extremely slow, and we have the walls of the auditorium as barriers. There may not be no chance of winning in a battle."

"so."

As he spoke, Prince Albert pulled out the king's saber from his body.

Clang——

A cold light flashed across the auditorium.

I saw him inserting the saber heavily on the wooden table in front of him, looking at the frightened crowd, he decisively issued a combat order:

"Now, as the prince of the empire, I order that those over 50 years old and women at the scene should retreat to the back of the auditorium first!"

"The rest of the people worked together to move the tables and chairs to block the side windows and the auditorium door, leaving only the small door and the front window for fighting!"

"In addition, quickly collect copper lamp bases, heavy books, short stools and other objects in the auditorium. If the enemy rushes into the house, they will directly smash at them!"

Following Prince Albert's order, everyone at the scene looked at me and I looked at you, and began to follow suit.

Now that Prince Albert's power and prestige in the UK is extremely high, and now that he has stood up to be the backbone, everyone naturally chooses to follow.

at the same time.

Bourne walked up to him quietly and asked him in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, why don't you block all the small doors of the auditorium and just wait for reinforcements from the town to arrive?"

"Reinforcements?"

Prince Albert looked at him and suddenly sneered:

"Bourne, do you think the escort will get here in time?"

Bourne was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why.

Prince Albert glanced at Xu Yunmai and Lao Tang who were moving the table from the corner of his eye, and said again:

"The seventh company of the 1st Battalion in Coldstream is in charge of the outer guard today. It was only transferred back to London from the border at the beginning of the year."

"Don't forget, according to the information I got a year ago."

"The James Hope Grant who attacked the Scottish post was a captain of the 1st Battalion at Coldstream."

As he spoke, he exhaled slowly, took off the long sword on the table, and said meaningfully:

"If you think about it again, there are 17 colleges in Cambridge University, and the terrain is extremely complicated, and most soldiers have never understood the layout of Cambridge."

"If someone deliberately takes a detour to delay for some time, by the time they arrive here... maybe the day lily will be cold."

Bourne finally understood the meaning of Prince Albert, and his breath stopped suddenly, and he lost his voice:

"Your Majesty, you are saying that there are internal guards in the guard."

Prince Albert patted his shoulder heavily and sighed:

"So Bourne, instead of believing that reinforcements will arrive, we might as well take a detour with them-the entrance to the auditorium is this big, if we can withstand two or three rounds of offensives and grab a few rifles, we may still survive. "

"In this offensive and defensive battle, there is no so-called completely torturous defense, only the attack and defense with clear cards"

Bourne was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The meaning of Prince Albert's words is clear:

Due to limited time and materials, it is impossible for them to quickly build a complete defensive offensive just relying on the tables and chairs in the auditorium.

If you want to cover everything, you will only be broken into by attackers from outside.

But if only a small opening is left, use this part of the material to reinforce the gate on the other side

First, it can free up materials to reinforce other parts, and second, it can tell the attacker a message:

If you have the ability, you can come in from here.

As for the attackers, they also face a choice:

Impact other doors and windows that have been reinforced again, or directly enter through the small door.

After all, Cambridge University is located in the hinterland of London. Even if there are ghosts in the guards to delay them, the time limit for these people is still quite tight. After all, it is obviously impossible for so many people to be dead, and they must have a follow-up escape plan.

Maybe it's a carriage, maybe it's a boat, there are many possibilities, but the prerequisites are certain:

Cannot be surrounded.

Therefore, this battle has now directly become a wicket attack and defense battle.

On one side were 140 men, 30 bayonets plus some knives and projectiles, and five Minies.

The other side, about 50 or so, had the same number of rifles.

However, Prince Albert's face seemed calm, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

As an industrial madman, he really knows the power of thermal weapons all too well.

That's right, the rate of fire of the Minie rifle is indeed very slow, and firing three rounds per minute is considered to be of excellent quality.

But the problem is that there are many people on the opposite side.

Assuming that there are fifty people surrounded, shooting once every 15 people is enough to ensure strong fire suppression.

And although there are some auditoriums on my side as bunkers, if the opposite side has explosives

That's hard to say.

all in all.

This is a game of life and death.

Then Prince Albert looked outside again, his eyes were a little misty:

"Scots, Tsarist... I don't know who else is hiding and not showing up?"

And just between Prince Albert and Bourne talking.

A simple line of defense is almost finished:

This auditorium covers a large area and can accommodate about two to three hundred people. There are eight windows on the left and right sides.

However, with more than one hundred people under the division of labor, it is still very easy to block them with tables and chairs.

at the same time.

Byrne led people to quickly settle down:

Soldiers with bayonets and aristocrats who were temporarily selected and relatively skilled in martial arts stood by the wall of the side door. The thick wall can ensure that they will not be shot by bullets.

If the enemy does charge in, they will fight each other hand to hand.

There are two shooting points distributed in the two directions obliquely at forty-five degrees of the small gate, one with three guns and the other with two guns.

The rest of the young and strong stood behind the shooting point, ready to throw heavy objects at any time.

Wheat is naturally among them.

This young Scottish youth looked extremely serious, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed, his face pale.

He held an ax tightly in his hand, ready to throw it at any enemy that might appear.

Last year also seemed to be at this time, when he and Lao Tang were attacked and killed by Grant in the camp.

If Xu Yun hadn't made a move at that time, he and Lao Tang would have celebrated their anniversary by now.

Thinking of this, Mai Mai couldn't help shaking his head slightly:

When the camp attacked, Grant and the others used cold weapons, so Mr. Luo Feng was able to turn the tide.

Now that those attackers were all carrying firearms, Mr. Luo Feng was probably helpless.

Why can't Mr. Luo Feng pull out a firearm that can suppress 50 Minie rifles all at once?

Recalling the idea that popped up in his mind, Xiaomai himself laughed:

If such a thing could really happen, he would eat the ax on the spot!

By the way, what is Mr. Luo Feng doing now?

Think about it.

Mai Mai subconsciously turned her head and looked at Xu Yun—as a young man, Xu Yun was naturally assigned to the front row.

But after seeing the situation clearly.

A question mark appeared in Mai Mai's eyes, and subconsciously asked Xu Yun:

"Uh, Mr. Luo Feng, why are you taking off your clothes?"

That's right.

Xu Yun at this time.

undressing.

When Mai Mai spoke, he had already taken off his windbreaker, revealing the bottoming sweater he was wearing underneath.

Hear the question of wheat.

Snapped--

Xu Yun patted the pile of things beside him lightly, and said as a matter of course:

"because."

"I want to wear a body armor."
