There are more and more enemy soldiers encircled from the north, Hu Songlin saw that the Qing soldiers around him continued to fall, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, he didn't care about pursuing it, the only thought was that he couldn't beat it, so he escaped first to find Xiang Rong, and reported to him that a strong enemy army had appeared on him, and the combat power was amazing, reminding him to be prepared.

Surrounded on all sides, in which direction do you run? Hu Songlin turned his eyes and looked in the direction of the Shanghi City Gate. Only in the direction of the weakest rebels on this side broke through.

Hu Songlin roared angrily and led his men to rush south. However, his calculation fell through.

Xu Yao and other rebels who rushed towards him also shouted to meet them. As soon as the two sides made contact, they became entangled, and the rebels saw that the Qing soldiers wanted to flee and dragged them to death.

Then the army of captives from the west and north quickly closed in, trotting and firing incessantly.

The remaining team of less than 2,000 Qing soldiers, after being slaughtered on all sides, quickly collapsed without Hu Songlin's order.

The first burly man in the west was Chen Tianshi, the commander of the Eighth Division. He shouted an order to urge the Qing demon soldiers to lay down their weapons bravely and surrender on their knees: "Surrender and avoid death!" ”

Thousands of captives shouted together: "Surrender and die!" The sound overshadowed the entire battlefield of fighting.

Suddenly, the collapsed Qing Demon stopped running indiscriminately, and they all did the same, throwing away the swords, spears and shotguns in their hands, and crying and kneeling in surrender.

Hu Songlin led his own soldiers to cut down several surrendered soldiers one after another, but to no avail, he knew that the general trend was gone, and he couldn't escape. led more than 20 personal soldiers and more than 100 soldiers who followed him bravely rushed towards the enemy, and Xu Yao and other rebels who were in the way of defeat retreated.

However, just as Hu Songlin and the others, who were fighting vigorously, suddenly heard the earth-shattering shouts behind them, and thousands of enemy soldiers brandished swords and instantly overwhelmed them.

Hu Songlin, who was soon slashed into a bloody man, did not feel any pain at the moment when he fell unwillingly, and finally looked at the morning glow on the edge of the sky that was dyed red by the sun like blood, as if he saw the fate of the Great Qing Kingdom.

Chen Tianshi walked over, looked at the corpse of Hu Songlin, who was still fighting with dozens of knives in his body, and sighed: "Don't embarrass this Qing demon head, my Holy Country's captive army no longer needs a leader to receive a reward." Although this person is a pure demon, he is not afraid of death, and he is also a character, so bury him decently. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Yao and Fan Dequan, who were covered in blood, and said, "You two are the leaders of the rebel army in Shanghi City?" This will be Chen Tianshi, commander of the Eighth Division of the Capture Army. When the Holy King learned of your defeat, he was very anxious, and he specially ordered the 10th Division and the 5th Division B to come to help in the battle with our Eighth Division. ”

"Thank you Holy King, thank you Master Chen! Xu Moudai went to the 2,000 righteous army and 20,000 old and young people to thank the Holy King and Master Chen for saving their lives! Xu Yao bowed and saluted.

Fan Dequan next to him smiled and said: "Leader Xu, didn't Leader Pan say that in the future, the Shanghi Righteous Army will be attached to the Holy Country, everyone is their own family, there is no need to be polite." After speaking, his subordinates saluted Chen Tianshi with a standard military salute for the captive army: "Report, Fan Dequan, the former head of the Shanghi Intelligence Station in Jiangnan District, the Special Affairs Division directly under the Holy King, reports to Division Commander Chen, please instruct!" ”

Chen Tianshi's eyes widened: "It turns out that he is really his own brother!" Haha smiled, hugged Fan Dequan with both hands, and said, "Thank you Brother Fan!" ”

Xu Yao's eyes widened next to him: It turned out that this Pan Qiliang's subordinate general turned out to be a fine work of the Holy Kingdom. No wonder he led the rebel army to the Holy Kingdom.

Thinking about some of the things that had happened, he was relieved: that's fine. In this way, with the help of the Holy Kingdom, the revenge of the Zhou family is expected to be avenged completely!

Chen Tianshi rejected Xu Yao's suggestion to invite him into the city, and asked Fan Dequan to go back to Shanghai City to settle the people well, and instructed a regiment commander to transport some food into the city, while assisting the rebels in the city to relieve the people, and at the same time going to hand over the city defense of Shanghi City with Pan Qiliang, and completely take charge of Shanghi City.

He led the rest of the soldiers of the 8th Division to attack the rest of the Qing troops to the south and east of the siege of Shanghai City.

……

The Qing army in the south of the city did not arrange many troops, but only besieged the city, not the direction of the main attack.

But at this moment, outside the south gate of the city, the more than 1,000 Qing troops besieging Shanghi City, under the leadership of an adjutant general, are like the end of the world.

Nearly 2,000 captives approached from the southwest and southeast flanks. The adjutant general of the Qing army estimated that he had already heard the gunfire in the north of the city, and knew that the southern Holy Kingdom was killed, so he had no heart to resist and directly ordered a retreat to the south. But the captives had already planned a pot, so how could they let them escape easily?

Before the Qing troops fled south, the two divisions closed into an encirclement and surrounded the entire Qing army.

Before the two armies could make contact, the Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground, and then they were scattered. However, the scope of the encircled activities became less and less, and none of the Qing soldiers wanted to stand outside and be slaughtered by the begging army, so they crowded into the circle one after another.

As a result, a strange scene of chasing ducks appeared on the battlefield outside the south gate of Shanghi City.

The adjutant general of the Qing army was forced to have no choice but to save his life and the lives of his brothers first. Surrender was ordered directly. As a result, the Qing soldiers, who still had eight or nine hundred people left, surrendered one after another under the leadership of the adjutant general.

Gilhanga led the main force of 4,000 Qing soldiers and stationed in the northeast corner of the city, close to the French Concession. At this moment, the Qing army camp is already a sea of fire.

No one could have imagined that not long after dawn, hundreds of warships appeared on the Huangpu River on the east side of the concession, led by five Western warships, and the top of the ships was also hung with a five-star flag on a red background, which was the flag of the Cantonese rebel army in the south.

It turned out to be a large-scale Cantonese bandit attack! The warships and warships, each equipped with artillery, opened fire on the tents stationed at the riverside, which was only a hundred paces away.

Suddenly, the camp tent of the Qing army was torn apart by shells, and a raging fire broke out. The Qing soldiers suffered heavy losses and fled from the camp like a stream of urine.

Gilhanga was also embarrassed, and was frightened by the support of his own soldiers, and just wanted to order a retreat to the side, but he was shocked to find that there were large groups of black and oppressive enemy troops to the west and north, and they had rushed towards them.

What's going on? Seeing that he was about to conquer Shanghi City, so many thieves suddenly appeared, I am afraid that I am not afraid of one or two thousand!

Moreover, why are the guns of those warships and warships in the river so sharp, which is no less than the strong ships of foreigners. Before he had time to marvel, Gilhanga saw that the thieves had been killed, and he had already shot at the Qing soldiers.

Looking at the black line like a tide in the west, how could his four thousand people be able to fight this posture? Gilhanga immediately ordered to break through the low wall on the south side of the French Concession, and the whole army took refuge in the French Concession.

At this time, there was also chaos in the French Concession.

The commander of the French Navy, Admiral Rawell, was also shocked at this moment, he never expected that the army of the Holy King in Guangzhou would dare to take the initiative to attack the French warship.

It was still in the middle of the night last night, and Rawell was still sleeping in the small western-style building of the consulate in the concession, when he was suddenly woken up by an assistant, saying that a large number of warships were coming at the mouth of the Huangpu River, and they were going up the river and went straight to Shanghi City.

Rawell was shocked, and hurriedly rushed to the cruiser "Joan of Arc", plus the "Golbai", which was originally at the riverside wharf, and quickly rushed to the mouth of the river. At this time, the commander of the British fleet, Shi Deling, had already led three warships and waited at the mouth of the Huangpu River. The general commander of Langshan Town, Bo Chengsheng, led more than 20 small warships, plus a fleet of American warships and more than 10 small warships originally purchased by Wu Jianzhang, were also blocked at the mouth of the river.

Immediately, the naval division of the captive army appeared. Five Western warships, plus more than 80 native warships, formed a long line and headed for the mouth of the river.

Led by Rayer, he ordered the naval division to fire a warning gun at the captive army and let it withdraw from the mouth of the Huangpu River.

Ignoring the naval division on the opposite side, more than a dozen warships went straight into the mouth of the river and came over.

Rawell was furious, and he did not discuss with the commander of the British fleet, Shi Deling, and the chief soldier of Wolf Mountain Town, Bo Chengsheng, so he directly ordered the cannon to be fired.

For a time, the flames of war at the mouth of the Huangpu River were ignited.

The two ships that were at the front of the capture army were hit and burst into flames, but they sped up and rushed towards the British warships blocking the mouth of the river. Ci Deling was forced to also give the order to open fire, sink the incoming warship, and join the battle. And Bo Chengsheng even recognized that the offender was a rebel sailor, and hurriedly ordered an attack.

However, after the first few warships burned for a while, several people on board jumped into the river, and soon after, the warships began to explode violently, blowing up several Qing warships around them, and even damaging one British warship.

It turned out to be several self-destructing explosive ships.

Rawell couldn't help but be stunned! From the very beginning, the other party is going to make a dead hand!

At this time, under the leadership of five Western warships, more than 100 artillery pieces opened fire together, and the bullets rained down and smashed into the warships of Britain, France, and Qing Dynasty.

The British warship, which had already been damaged, was hit by several shells, and immediately turned sideways and began to enter the water.

Seeing that the other party had already prepared, and on his side, there were few warships and defenseless, he immediately understood that this battle could not be fought. Moreover, this battle was fought inexplicably, it was originally a rebellion within the Qing people themselves, and they themselves did not approve of entanglement with these rebels. Now that he had lost one warship, he couldn't help but regret it, and as soon as his mind changed, he ordered the damaged warship to raise a white flag and surrender, while he led the other two warships to retreat directly and flee the battlefield.
