533 Rescue the Rebels

The efforts of the thirty snipers were huge, but their strength was far from enough for the pursuit of tens of thousands of people, and when the artillery of the Qing soldiers joined the battle, the casualties of the breakout began to soar.

After all, the escaped soldiers only have two legs, and they can't outrun the speed of the cannonballs no matter how they run, and the old-fashioned red-coated cannon of the Qing soldiers is still very useful against ordinary infantry.

The battle scars were torn apart in the crowd, the houses were destroyed, and soon the casualties spread to the snipers, Ye Qiu watched as the hundred-year-old locust tree and a grass house were blown away, and a military hat unique to the new army flew out of the dust and smoke.

"Damn it...... There can be no senseless sacrifice, and the brothers retreat...... The brothers of the Green Battalion quickened up ...... "One of the snipers jumped out of hiding and shot as he retreated with the rebels, and the seriously wounded had to give up.

"Woooooooooo......oo Brothers, I'm sorry...... I will kill more demons to avenge you......" Countless soldiers looked at the brothers struggling in the blood behind them, crying their hearts and intestines.

"Let's go, it's too dangerous now......" Ye Qiu and the others dragged a backward soldier and retreated to the east, and at this time, in the direction of the easternmost sea, there were bursts of rumbling cannons, and the French warships finally adjusted their posture and began to bomb the special industrial zone.

Artillery was destined to be the king of warfare in this era, and the two frigates carried little ammunition, but a salvo also fired a full fifty guns, and the special industrial zone was suddenly in shambles.

"Crazy, you are all crazy...... Western merchant ships on the dock hurriedly lifted anchor to dodge, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't go as fast as the shells, and both Asians and Europeans became the targets of abuse under the attack of the flowering shells.

"Evacuation...... Everyone evacuates......" The dock was full of scrambled figures, and the Forces nouvelles struggled to dodge under artillery fire, evacuating the trapped people deeper into the area.

The special industrial zone has a strong fence and three parallel trench defense lines, which can be said to be impregnable against infantry and cavalry, but the biggest loophole in the special industrial zone is in the coastal area, because Xiao Lotian has not had time to arm the dock here, the shore defense battery has not even been built, and it is completely helpless in the face of the enemy's artillery attack.

Not only did there be no shore defense battery, but even there were only two field guns, which were still military samples sent by the Carnegie Steel Company of the United States, which were to be copied in military factories in the future, and there were only a few dozen shells, and it was impossible to fight two frigates.

The two frigates on the sea were already approaching the wreck, and there was no need to aim at this distance for shelling, and after two rounds of shelling, the special industrial zone was already full of black smoke.

The Tanggu Special Industrial Zone, which was agreed to be built by the Qing court for only two years, has not yet been completed, and all the buildings are in the stage of laying the foundation, and in the face of the French warships, the people in the special zone are completely helpless and can only dodge.

Fortunately, there are a lot of reinforced concrete buildings here, which can provide people with space to take refuge, so there are no too many casualties.

The shelling of the French pirates once again reminded Ye Qiu that they really couldn't delay any longer at this time, if they could save one by one, the rest of the wounded soldiers could only resign themselves to fate.

The wounded soldiers of the Green Battalion also knew that their lives were short, and they waved their arms and shouted at their comrades who had lived together, "Let's go, leave us alone...... Life and death are all fate, and our road has come to an end...... Let's live well..."

Ye Qiu and the others finally withdrew, and they covered the last group of rebel soldiers to rush into the trenches, and at this time Dawangzhuang had been occupied by Qing soldiers.

In the distance, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Melle, with his swollen sausage mouth, rushed over with joy, and looked at the madness of the fire, and he drew his whip and fired his bow left and right to beat those men.

"Waste, it's all waste...... This is your victory? Damn, this is your victory? Just die a little bit? What is the use of the court raising you...... Rush up and trample these rebels to death..."

Mellor, with his men and men, rode his horse and rushed towards the wounded soldiers, the hooves of the bowls rumbling on the ground.

"Untouchables, untouchables, all untouchables...... trample them to death...", the hideous Mailer completely transformed into the god of hell, and a hoof of horses rushed towards the wounded soldiers under his command.

"Mailer, my day your ancestors ......" The Green Battalion soldiers were knocked into the air at the scolding, and then smashed to the ground by the horse's head, and then a piece of horses' hooves stepped on it, and soon became a puddle of bright red meat sauce.

"Brute...... It's all brutes..."The soldiers of the New Army in the trenches were filled with righteous indignation, and they watched the tragic death of their compatriots, and this kind of grief and indignation was completely indescribable.

The guns were fired, but it was too late, and under the trampling of hundreds of war horses, none of the wounded soldiers survived, and all of them turned into dust.

Mailer turned his horse's head to escape from the sniper's field of sight, and he cursed viciously, "This is what happens to the betrayer...... Come on, go to Tianjin Wei to transfer files for me, this group of cheap people in Dagukou Fort, their nine clans have been killed for me, all the men have been killed, and all the women have been sold into slaves...... Go, do it right away..."

The smiling Mailer stared at the trench in the distance like a poisonous snake, "Now that the foreigners have begun to fight, I see how long you can hold out, phew......"

Mellor withdrew, and at this time the cannon sound on the sea became more intense, and after a while, Kung Fu Tietoutuo retreated to the trench area with a large number of foreign engineers, after all, it was protected by a high cement fence and was the safest place.

"Ye Qiu... You kid didn't have an order, and you dared to shoot without an order, and you forgot all the new army's orders, so ......," Iron Toutuo scolded as he pointed at him.

Ye Qiu in the trench looked indifferent, "Report to the chief, the enemy is slaughtering our compatriots, I can't stand it...... You lock me up..."

"I'm cāo..."Tietoutuo's nose was crooked, "Stinky boy, arch fire, don't ......you?"

At this time, another person stood up in the trench and saluted and said, "Report to the chief, it is not Ye Qiu's responsibility alone, or he is a third squad leader, he can only order his own squad ...... I'm guilty here too... Please punish ...... together"

"Damn, Pang Chaoyun, are you also coming to attack me, aren't you ......" It was Pang Chaoyun, the second squad leader, who stood up, and Ye Qiu's virtue was wilted.

"Sir, and me...... And I ......" After a while, all the snipers in the kung fu trench stood up, and the angry iron head Tuo's face turned blue.

At this time, the more than 1,000 Dagu defenders who were rescued couldn't stand it anymore, they stood tremblingly in front of Tietoutuo, and knelt down without saying a word.

"The general raised his noble hand, these commanders are all trying to save us, and if they want to punish us, they will rush at us...... Don't punish our benefactor...... "The entire trench is full of kowtowing green battalion soldiers, ugly trumpets, dirty whips, and a pair of weak knees, this is the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty."

"Come on, don't kneel......" Tietou pulled up the one on the left, and the one on the right knelt again, this group of soldiers who had long been enslaved had long forgotten that the man had gold under his knees.

Tietou Tuo was sweating profusely, "Get up, you are never allowed to kneel and bow under the command of the prime minister, don't make trouble for me...... What do you want to do? If you want to harm me, you can't do ......it," the group of green camps stood up tremblingly when they heard this.

"Ye Qiu, Pang Chaoyun...... I remember you both, it's war time, I'll keep an account for both of you first, and then count it together when the fight is over...... Now the snipers immediately return to the SAR, beware of the French forcibly landing ......"

"Yes..."All the snipers roared, and Ye Qiu and Pang Chaoyun stuck out their tongues at each other, grimaced, and then turned their heads and led the soldiers away.

Just before they entered the wall, suddenly a thunderous roar sounded from the south of the SAR, on the other side of the Haihe River, and the sentry on the wall immediately roared when they saw it.

"The brothers of Dagukou revolted successfully...... The demons were all killed...... Look, everybody..."

Sure enough, at the Dagukou Fort on the south bank of the Haihe River, the field was full of scattered and fleeing Mailer cronies, this group of frightened Eight Banners disciples, never thought that they would be killed by the Han people one day, and now they are running wild in the field like lost dogs.

"Brothers, don't chase it...... Adjust the muzzle of the cannon and fire at the sea, driving away the foreign devil's warship......" There was a roar on the Dagukou Fort.

Countless soldiers gave up chasing the Eight Banners desertion, turned back to the fort, and began to manipulate the artillery to shoot at the sea with a sense of resentment.

Dagukou Fort, an iron-blooded place that witnessed the history of the late Qing Dynasty, finally found its right direction at this moment, and the old artillery began to spit flames at the warships on the sea.

"Fire...... Blow up those two foreign devil ships...... Returning to the Special Economic Zone...... Lao Tzu is the opposite today, and from today he will take refuge in the prime minister......"

Amid the roaring explosions, the Lyra and the Romans panicked and hurried north to avoid artillery fire, and the crisis in the SAR finally came to an end.

Night is gradually falling, the night is the best mediator in the war, in the era of no electricity, night war is always unrealistic, Tanggu Special Zone finally restored his tranquility.

Both sides are licking their wounds, and the shipwreck in the sea is attracting the attention of countless people, how many desperate greedy people dived and touched the silver ingots that night, it is already too many to count, and on this dark sea, a small boat began to slowly approach the tidal flat on the north shore of Tanggu.

"Hurry, hurry...... From here, bypass the Special Zone, go three kilometers and turn south, and walk to the place where the fire is most intense, where the camp of the Qing Kingdom is located......"

In the dark, more than a dozen figures secretly came ashore from the north shore of the Special Administrative Region, close to the Changlu Salt Works, and began to infiltrate the Mailer camp, and it was not until the second half of the night that these people approached the Mailer camp.

"Stop...... Who are you? If you get any closer, we'll shoot and shoot arrows......"

“no...... Don't use force...... We are the emissaries of France...... I want to come to meet your generals......"

The strange language in the night wind startled the soldiers, who never expected that the French would come to contact the Qing army, and soon the gates of the camp were opened.
