On the north shore, hundreds of soldiers had already made a detour behind the fort. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And there is little suspense in the battle on this side.

In the entire north shore fort, there were originally less than 300 Qing soldiers, but after the indiscriminate bombardment of the guns of the captured warships, nearly 100 people were killed and wounded, and the remaining 200 people were all hiding in the earthen chambers.

After an unusually fierce artillery bombardment, an earthen chamber in the middle suddenly collapsed, and the base of the fort and the brick wall that had collapsed on top of it were suddenly pressed into the earthen chamber, crushing to death more than 30 Qing soldiers hiding in it.

The three earthen rooms next to them were shocked, and they hurriedly ran out of the room, but suddenly they heard that the sound of artillery had stopped, and the surroundings seemed to be quiet.

These more than 100 people climbed up to the fort strangely and looked around, but suddenly found that in the three directions behind the fort, there were hundreds of thieves in uniform in uniform holding muskets and swords and spears, rushing towards the fort.

This battle can't be fought! The guards of the North Shore Fort were dumbfounded, looked around at the Qing soldiers who were looking at him, and even had some ill intentions, so he could only hang his head and say: "Brothers, there is no way, let's all surrender." ”

The remaining 100 Qing soldiers of the North Shore Battery, under the leadership of the defenders, surrendered to the begging army that had been surrounded.

As the main battlefield, the South Bank Fort, the deputy general Da Nian, who was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, decided to die on the battlefield after a short and painful reflection, showing his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty as a banner man.

Naturally, the reason for this decision is that as a banner man, he still has a bit of blood, and even if he surrenders to the Cantonese thief, he will not have a good life as a flag man. He heard that the Cantonese thief, like the long-haired thief, was eager to drink the blood of the banner people. Even if you surrender, you may be tortured to death, and it is better to die in battle.

Of course, the most important thing is that his family members are all in the city of Tianjin, and once he surrenders to the Cantonese thieves, it is conceivable that the end of his family will be very miserable.

After making a decision in his heart, Da Nian began to cheer up the Qing soldiers guarding the main fort: "Brothers, the time has come to serve our emperor and the court. If you don't die in this battle, everyone will be rewarded by the imperial court, and everyone will have an official to do; Even if we die in battle, the Qing Dynasty will not forget everyone, will give us support our families, set up an ancestral hall for us, and receive the incense offerings of the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation! ”

More than half of the more than 700 Qing soldiers guarding the main battery were really fooled by him, and the guerrilla general Dekui led 400 people to quickly load gunpowder and artillery, and bombarded the thief warships on the river. The other 300 people, following Danian, carrying shotguns and brand knives, ran behind the fort and met the hundreds of thieves who had outflanked them, preparing to intercept them under the brick walls of the fort.

At this moment, hundreds of shells bombarded violently, and the main battery on the south bank shook violently. Dekui suddenly found that the fort on the north bank and the right battery on the south bank had been occupied by the thieves, and the warships of the thieves were concentrated in the middle of the river, aimed at the main battery, and bombarded fiercely.

After the bombardment, Dekui heard a miserable howl in his ears, he turned his head to look, but was frightened and stunned: he saw that there were originally 400 people on the main battery, more than 20 heavy guns and more than 30 small and medium-sized guns, after some shelling, there were originally 12 heavy guns of more than 5,000 catties and 20 small cannons, at this time there were only seven heavy guns and more than 10 small cannons.

In just one round of shelling, five heavy guns and seven or eight small guns were blown up! Moreover, on the edge of the bombed-out gun emplacement, dozens of Qing soldiers were lying on the gun emplacement, scattered with red and black blood everywhere, and even stumps and legs were broken.

Even Dekui, who had been fighting for many years, almost threw up! The cannon of the Cantonese thief is too fierce, just like the demon from hell. Every round of shooting had to harvest the lives of the Qing soldiers, and this round killed and injured dozens of people!

This battle is not going to be fought.

Sure enough, the Qing soldiers who came back to their senses, as soon as they shouted, began to flee in all directions, leaving the fort one after another, trying to escape into the earthen chamber below to hide.

Seeing this, Da Nian, who had just rushed to the rear brick wall of the fort, hurriedly led the book's own soldiers to run over, holding a simple knife, and slashed and killed three people one after another, so as to stop the rout of the Qing soldiers on the fort.

At this moment, at the brick wall behind the fort, a dense gunfire rang out, but it turned out that the soldiers of the begging army who had gathered around them had killed them.

Da Nian was taken aback, he explained two sentences to Dekui, and asked him to lead people to guard the fort well. He quickly led a few of his own soldiers and fought back to the brick wall behind the fort.

But I saw that there were more than 300 Qing soldiers hiding under the brick wall, but there were less than 200 people left at this moment. More than 100 people, of which more than 40 were killed by the thieves, and the other 60 people climbed over the brick wall, knelt on the ground, and surrendered directly to the thieves.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Da Nian just wanted to boost the morale of the Qing soldiers guarding the brick wall again, but he heard the horn of the thief soldiers outside the brick wall, and a rush to kill came: "Kill!" Surrender or die! ”

Hearing this deafening sound of rushing and killing, I am afraid that there will be no less than two or three thousand people. Da Nian's face changed, and he was miserable.

Immediately afterward, another fierce cannon fell on the fort, and a terrible wail continued to sound. The sound over there has not yet fallen, here, the dense gunfire sounded again, more than a dozen Qing soldiers who did not hide their bodies were hit by the lead bullets of foreigners, and died tragically on the spot, and the Qing soldiers guarding the brick wall could not raise their heads at all, let alone fight back.

After a while, the Qing soldiers hiding behind the brick wall suddenly saw the rushing Cantonese thieves erecting a dragon banner with a red background and yellow stars, and at this time, the originally fierce artillery also stopped, and everything became quiet.

But this was only a short silence, and suddenly, when Da Nian and the Qing soldiers were filled with sound again, it was a sound of rushing and killing close to their ears, but it turned out that the Cantonese thieves under the brick wall had already rushed up the brick wall and went to the fort.

The battery is lost!

As the chief general of the Dagukou Fort, Da Nian did not expect that the fort would fall so quickly.

He mustered up the courage and led several personal soldiers around him, wanting to lead the remaining more than 100 Qing soldiers next to him to heroically kill the thieves who rushed up, and just rushed out a few steps, he heard a banging gunshot, and then, a sharp pain in his chest hit, and he was shot!

Da Nian felt that everything was quiet. He turned his head and saw that the more than 100 Qing soldiers behind him did not follow him and rushed forward, but still stayed behind, but they all threw away the weapons in their hands and knelt on the ground, even if he couldn't hear what they said, he also knew that they were begging for mercy and surrendering. It's just that he doesn't have time to care about these things, he just thinks that he doesn't know if the messengers he sent can deliver the letter to Tianjin Fucheng.

Soon, he was plunged into eternal darkness.

On the right battery on the south bank, Lin Ruguang, the assistant general of Dagu, and Chen Yi, the guerrilla commander, could not support it as early as when the fleet of the naval division of the captured army fired seven or eight rounds of artillery, and Chen Yi had no will to fight, but Lin Ruguang still reluctantly supported it and commanded the fort to clear the troops and fight back.

It didn't take long for them to suddenly find a dense crowd of soldiers and soldiers of the captive army behind the fort, and they immediately knew that the fort was completely surrounded, so Lin Ruguang and Chen Yi led their cronies to capture nearly ten Manqi Qing soldiers and decided to surrender.

They quickly planted a strip of white cloth on the right battery and did not return fire.

Chen Dingao, commander of the 8th Regiment of the 5th Division, led nearly 1,000 soldiers of the captive army to rush to the right battery, but saw the scene of more than 200 Qing soldiers kneeling and surrendering.

……

Outside the mouth of Dagu, on the warship "Extinguishing the Ocean".

A rowboat sailed up, and a soldier of the captive army on the boat shouted the good news: "The Holy King, the Righteous King, and the King of Xin have come down to report that our captive army has captured the Dagukou Fortress of the Qing Demon, occupying a total of four forts on the north and south banks." Annihilated more than 700 Qing demons, captured more than 800 people, and almost wiped out the Qing demons. ”

"Great! The king ordered the whole army to rest for an hour and immediately set out for Tianjin City! What this king wants is to take advantage of his unpreparedness and catch the demon off guard! Feng Yunshan was overjoyed and immediately passed down the order.

Seeing the rowboat leave, Feng Yunshan said to the staff officer of the Fifth Division A beside him: "That barrage has been cleaned up?" ”

The young division staff officer replied: "The officers and men are already opening a gap. Later, when the tide is high, our 'Exterminating Ocean' will be able to enter the inland river and rush to Tianjin City. ”

Feng Yunshan nodded, turned his head to a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and asked the people who were fighting in front of him: "How do you feel after watching the fort attack and defense of the three naval divisions of the Holy Country, the Fifth Division, the Tenth Division, and the Fifth Division?" ”
