The last reinforcements under Vincent's personal command passed by the main force of Gohinga and swooped down on the battlefield where Smith was fighting hard in the night. Tan Shaoguang, who was responsible for detouring behind enemy lines and cutting off Smith's back road, also appeared at the right time, but appeared behind Vincent. The vast night gave Tan Shaoguang enough cover, and when Smith got Vincent's strong reinforcement, Tan Shaoguang would give him a bigger surprise.

Vincent was not sure of Goxinga's whereabouts, and he suspected that Goxinga was hiding near him. However, Cai Cun sent an urgent report, Smith was in danger of destruction, and Vincent could only go to the rescue first. And judging from the situation, the possibility of Goxinga going north to attack Smith is also very great.

A few hours ago, after a brief survey of the battlefield where Robert had fallen, Smith's troops anxiously embarked on a journey to rescue Hexi. Because Goxinga's method of squatting on the side of the road to engage in sneak attacks is very rare in Europe and the United States, Smith did not guard against it at all. In the era of line tactics, even if you carry out a sneak attack, you have to stand in order, squatting on the side of the road in the east and west, and you can't form effective firepower at all. So Smith had never thought in his mind that there would be people who were very scattered and hiding on the side of the road. After all, for centuries, a dense and neat phalanx has been the absolute royal road in war.

"Bang!" As a red flare rose into the dusk air, a dense hail of bullets and rumbling cannons blanketed Smith's marching ranks.

The sound of the machine gun ticks like a skilled typist, typing quickly in your ear. As the warrior shook the handle, the British soldiers were swept in rows and rows. The soldiers who were marching just shook their bodies and collapsed weakly to the ground. It was as if Satan was wielding a scythe in the crowd, and the souls that had just been alive were pulled out of their bodies in an instant.

The powerful artillery even used fire to divide the British army into several pieces, and the flesh and blood were torn apart by the terrifying explosion, and dirt and gravel flew all over the sky. The shock wave swept across the surface, and thousands of pounds of artillery were thrown into the sky, and human bodies fluttered like fallen leaves, and even crashed into other companions like cannonballs.

"Stay in formation, stay in formation!" Smith brandished his pistol, trying to keep his team under control.

But everything seemed futile, and the previous rain of bullets on the battlefield was like waves, wave after wave. It's very dense, but it always gives people some time to breathe. But the current situation of the British army is like swimming in a sea of bullets, bullets are always flying around, and there is no intention of stopping.

"Get down, get down!" Wilson, in the first wave of shelling, was swept off his horse by a shock wave. It was also a blessing in disguise, and he found that if he lay on the ground, he could get great security.

After paying the price of more than 500 lives, the British army finally adapted to the sudden change of events, and built a somewhat perfunctory defensive line with the help of weeds on one side and craters from shells. The British troops on the march were beaten to pieces, and the so-called defensive lines were not connected at all, but scattered in clusters of three or five. The dense firepower of Ji Ying's subordinates firmly suppressed them, and they couldn't move at all. They could only support themselves under the cover of night, praying that the reinforcements would rescue them as soon as possible.

Smith was no longer in control of the entire army, and he could only command four or five hundred men around him, and he could only confirm the presence of his other companions by the light of the fire during the return fire. In response to a slang saying in the British army, the soldiers had courage, and the officers had luck. Major officers such as Smith and Wilson were able to survive the raid and it was really entirely by luck.

Smith sent a few brave soldiers out to contact the rest of the team and call for help from the rear. However, as soon as the soldiers jumped out of the bunker, they were immediately hit, and everyone had to lie down behind the bunker, symbolically figuratively fighting back like an enemy. Unable to call for help, Smith could only hope for a nearby military station, hoping that they would find out about the fighting here and call for help from the rear. It was indeed the Caicun Military Station that informed Vincent of Smith's situation after discovering the anomaly.

**, * and other continuous fire weapons, in the cavalry battle, occupy an absolute advantage. Although Mu Shun failed to completely annihilate the Sikh cavalry, he easily routed them, and the Sikh cavalry fled as fast as their pursuit, and Mu Shun did not achieve particularly remarkable results. However, the time when he rushed to Goxinga's side was very appropriate, making the battle of Goxinga's capture of the military grain city easier.

Three hours after Vincent left Tianjin, at 0:30, Goxinga launched an attack on the military grain city. The defense of Junliangcheng was much stronger than that of Yangcun, but under the blow of Guoxing's saturated artillery fire, it was also stormy.

The 800 defenders were very tenacious, but they were not at all adapted to the new tactics of Goxinga, especially the infiltration and assault tactics of the reconnaissance battalion. According to the original historical development, the British army would not encounter this tactic until eighty years later, and suffered at the hands of the Germans, but with Goxinga, everything could be advanced. Although Guoxinga is also an infiltration war, there have been a slight change, which is somewhat similar to the way the Eighth Route Army fights artillery towers.

The heavily guarded defenders of the Military Grain City did not give Guo Xing'a a chance to sneak attack, and at this extremely tense time, Guo Xing'a was discovered by them as soon as he approached the Military Grain City. The British troops, who hurriedly landed on the city to set up defenses, set up strongholds on the city walls to exert their firepower. They have the impression that they have an absolute advantage in this kind of defensive battle, but Guo Xing Ake is a person who does not follow the usual path.

After briefly analyzing the terrain and selecting the advantageous attack position, Goxinga concentrated seventy percent of the artillery and stormed one of the core strongholds of the British army. The short but powerful artillery fire destroyed the stronghold in an instant, and shook the remaining defenders to the ground. At the same time, the top soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion have quickly advanced to the city, climbed up the city under the cover of artillery fire, captured the British stronghold, quickly cleared the remnants of the enemy, and established an attack position at the head of the city. The artillery continued to bombard other strongholds to provide cover for follow-up troops to ascend the city. The second echelon carried heavy weapons such as machine guns and light artillery to the city to suppress the counterattacking British troops. Finally, a large army of infantry rushed to the head of the city to complete the final finish, completely annihilating the British army that had lost the advantage of the city wall. After the successful infiltration assault at two or three points, the defenders had been divided and surrounded in three or five strongholds, becoming a turtle in an urn.

Tianjin also received the news of the attack on the military grain city, but their dispute was no longer about sending reinforcements, but about withdrawing the main organs to Dagukou as soon as possible. Elite troops were sent to send Ergin and other high-ranking officials to the warship. In their opinion, the Qing army launched a large-scale counteroffensive, and Tianjin could be lost at any time.

Especially after Mu Shun took the heavy cavalry battalion and walked around between Tianjin and Dagukou, the high-level leaders of the coalition army were even more convinced that the Qing army had begun to counterattack Tianjin with all its might. They issued an order to mobilize troops, and all the defenders of Xinhe, Tanggu, Beitang and other places were transferred back to Tianjin, giving up the outlying strongholds, and protecting Tianjin and Dagu without losing them. However, Ergin and the others were still sent to the warship, and the Goxinga offensive was dazzling and extremely fast, and the coalition forces could not afford the consequences of the minister's capture. As for the military food city, it was abandoned along with the eight hundred Indians there.

After the gates were opened and the large artillery was drawn closer to the city, the resistance of the defenders of the city was completely crushed. No matter how strong a stronghold is, it will not be able to withstand the progressive bombardment of large artillery. What's more, as soon as the shell blew a small gap, countless * followed, and the stubborn Indians, of course, had only one way to die.

After the scouts brought back the news from Tianjin, Guo Xing'a danced excitedly and immediately ordered all the idle men to gather and go to Xinhe and other places to receive supplies. Of course, the order is still like that, move everything that can be moved, and run away as soon as you finish moving. And ordered the scouts to see the Tianjin defenders from all directions, as long as they dared to move, Guo Xing'a immediately opened the way and absconded.

The warehouse of the coalition army in the military food city was opened, and countless guns, cannons, *, projectiles, food, medicines, cloths, military uniforms, and sundries, etc., were dazzling, and Xishou and others who moved were also sore.

"Rich, rich!" Xiande, who was old and strong, recorded the details of the seizure, and muttered excitedly in his mouth.

"Once a year, it's enough to eat for three years! Another 10,000 people is enough! "Guoxinga is also full of little stars.

The higher-ups were calculating the benefits of this time, and Bi Yuntao sent people to drive the local people to help carry the supplies, while Changlu, who searched the whole city, had a new harvest.

"My lord, I found another official warehouse, with the seal of the imperial court, and the foreign devil doesn't seem to have touched it!" Changlu hurriedly reported his new discovery to Guo Xing'a.

"We are the officers and soldiers! The defenders of Tianjin are useless, let's mention them! Guo Xing'a smiled and led the people, ready to accept the gift left by Monk Lingqin.

But after arriving at the warehouse, the excited Guo Xing'a suddenly cooled down. This is not a grain depot, not a food depot, but an armory. The seal is not the seal of the Governor of Zhili Yamen or the monk Greenqin, but the seal of the household department of the Qing Dynasty. Guoxing'a has no interest in swords, guns, swords, halberds, and the amount of light cavalry regiments such as bows and arrows is also very limited, and Gu'an can supply them locally, and there is no need to move back all the way.

"Open it and take a look!" Guo Xing'a was a little interested.

But when the door of the warehouse slowly opened, everyone present was stupid, there were no swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, saddles, and saddles, and the storeroom was full of brand-new artillery and muskets. The stacks are neatly placed, and there is a registered account book on a bookcase at the door.

"This is the fucking armory of foreign devils!" Guo Xing'a really can't associate these things with the immortals of the Qing Dynasty.

"My lord, this is the imperial court's armory! When Lord Zeng Guofan pacified the bandits a few years ago, he found that foreign guns and foreign cannons were sharp, which were actually sharp weapons for conquest, so the court recommended purchasing. These guns were purchased from the Germans at the beginning of the imperial court. Xiande picked up the account book and looked through it, and said in surprise.

"How do you know?" Guo Xing'a was stunned by Xiande's words.

"It is written in this account book that there are a total of 80 smoothbore foreign guns, 25 rifled foreign guns, 3,400 smoothbore firing foreign guns, and 1,300 rifled firing foreign guns!" Xiande also felt incredible.

"Why not?" Guoxing's mind is full of question marks.

"I don't know about this, the one who entered the warehouse in the first month has never been touched here!" Xiande spread his hands.

"Move away! They don't use me! "There is no feeling of joy in Goxinga, but a deep sense of powerlessness.

"The Qing Dynasty is undefeated, and heaven does not tolerate it!" Out of the storeroom, Goxinga looked at the moon.
