Zhu Hong also asked more than a dozen people in the trench to gather together the three barrels of gunpowder and a number of paper-wrapped gunpowder left by the holy soldiers, cover them with the short robes worn by the dead brother, and sprinkle a lot of lead and iron sand and a little dirt on the outside. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then, Zhu Hong and more than a dozen brothers picked up the shotguns left in the trench and shot them out of the ditch.

Foreigner shells continued to fall in and explode, and six more brothers were killed, but everyone knew what they were going to do, and they were desperately defending the large pile of gunpowder that had gathered together.

At this time, the sound of footsteps outside came, and the shouts of killing were already close to the ears, obviously the foreigners and Qing soldiers were approaching the trench.

Zhu Hong lit the fire fold that had been prepared long ago, and with tears in his eyes, he yelled at the remaining five holy soldier brothers: "Now, Lao Tzu orders you all to lie down and pretend to be dead for Lao Tzu, and when it explodes, you will jump out of the trench and run to the fort!" If you can escape, it's one! ”

The five holy soldiers knew that Zhu Hong was telling the truth, and one of the young holy soldiers shouted: "Master Shuai and good man, you take everyone away, leave it to me here!" As he spoke, he wanted to snatch the fire fold from Zhu Hong's hand. He knew that the pile of explosives had no lead at all, and as long as it touched the spark, it would explode, and the bones of the person who lit the fire would be gone.

Zhu Hong kicked away such a young holy soldier, sad and happy, and scolded: "Get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

At this moment, two Qing soldiers jumped into the trench, Zhu Hong stuffed the fire fold into his mouth, and the shotgun in his hand slammed down, and the other two holy soldiers also shot at them, and the two Qing soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

Then, several more Qing soldiers jumped into the trench and fired several shots, both of which were hit by Vermilion and the two holy soldiers. Qing Bing shouted happily: "Longhair has been killed, there is no one left!" ”

Zhu Hong was shot in the chest, and he endured the severe pain, lying on the ground, on the side of his head, carefully protecting the fire fold. The other three Holy Soldiers who were not hit also quickly fell to the ground.

Outside the trench, a large group of British troops, seeing that there was no danger, rushed into the trench one after another, prepared to inspect it, and then continued to press towards the fort.

At this moment, a seriously wounded saint soldier in the trench suddenly picked up the shotgun in his hand with difficulty and prepared to shoot. The British heard the noise and fired a few shots to kill the holy soldier. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Vermilion quickly peeled off the clothes that covered the fire crow barrel and put the fire fold in his mouth......

When the British heard the movement, several soldiers were just about to shoot, and when they saw the powder keg, their faces changed greatly: "Oh, God....."

Before the words fell, only a loud bang was heard, and then two earth-shattering loud bangs were heard in succession, and the gunpowder of the three powder kegs all exploded, and hundreds of lead bullets, iron and sand mixed with soil were blown away, and a huge wave of air collapsed the entire trench.

Vermilion had long since disappeared, leaving only a few pieces of rags falling from the sky.

With Vermilion as the center, nearly 100 British soldiers and dozens of Bai Gui's personal soldiers around were hit by the explosion and the blasted iron sand, and they were either killed or injured, and there was a wail on the spot.

Far away, Major Charles felt a buzzing in his ears, looked at the soldiers who had been blown down in a large area, closed his eyes in pain, and muttered, "This is really a group of guys who believe in God?" Or a madman? ”

And Bai Gui, who was next to Charles, shrank his head, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but take half a step back.

In the hidden soldier cave of the fort, more than 100 holy soldiers, half of them were wounded, and when they heard the explosion, they all had red eyes, and they held the shotguns and card knives in their hands tighter, and kept urging the gunners: "Brother, hurry, speed up, fire a few more shots, kill the fucking foreign devils, and avenge the commander and brothers!" ”

Fifteen guns were placed in the nine gun positions in the middle of the fort, but eight of them had been damaged by the Qing artillery. More than 30 brothers surrounded the seven cannons, constantly reloading gunpowder, according to the cannons, lighting the fuses, firing the cannons, and venting the cannons in the Qing army and foreigners under the forts.

……

The 400 British troops on the southeast side had completely climbed the hill and rushed towards the fort. The British troops under the fort on the east side, under Charles's orders, let Bai Gui's own soldiers lead the way and forced towards the Shajiao Fort.

In the fort, there are now less than 200 holy soldiers, once more than 900 British troops attack the fort, coupled with the disparity in firearms, it will inevitably be difficult to ensure that the fort is lost, and the holy soldiers will also be wiped out.

At this moment, in the woods on the east side, more than 1,000 paces away from the Shajiao Fort, a large group of holy soldiers, all wrapped in red scarves, about 3,000 people, armed with shotguns and spears, drove towards the Shajiao Fort.

By the time the sentry arrived, Charles had already discovered the situation under the hill.

He was not surprised at all that the rebels had reinforcements, but when did the British soldiers ever fear these yellow-skinned monkeys? Armed with primitive muskets and more primitive swords and spears from two hundred years ago, he wouldn't care much about such a rebel.

However, the "madman" in the trench just now suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy, or the fear in his heart, he didn't like this feeling very much, and tried not to think about it.

Soon, Charles ordered 500 British troops to be deployed in the trench on the spot, and ordered the people to push the field guns to the edge of the trench, divide half of them, four field guns at the battery, and the other four at the hill for defense.

With the weapons and military tactics of the rebels, even if the other side had more men, it would only be a waste of more ammunition for the British army.

Charles thought to himself.

His plan was to use 500 British troops to occupy the trench to intercept the rebels who came to help, and the rest of the British troops to capture the forts, and then turn their guns to annihilate all the rebels who came to support.

……

The atmosphere inside the fort was somewhat tense and depressing.

Zhu Hong, the division commander who was responsible for commanding and guarding the battery, was not there, and a red-faced brigade commander in his thirties had the largest official position, so he naturally became the commander.

"Brothers, don't be afraid, it's a big deal to go to heaven to see Heavenly Father together!" The red-faced brigade commander shouted violently, and said with a boost of morale: "The military marshal will avenge us, and the Holy King and the Holy Kingdom brothers will take care of our family!" ”

"Yes, the Holy King will take care of my family! Lao Tzu fought with the ghosts! ”

"I fought ...... with foreign devils".

For a moment, all the holy soldiers roared angrily and erupted.

The shotgunners shot outward, and the knife players stood guard under the rocky walls and at the doorways.

Bang, bang...... Several buckshots came in, injuring two shotgunners.

To the east of the fort, more than 100 Qing soldiers were in front, and 200 British troops were behind, attacking the fort.

The red-faced brigade commander hurriedly organized the sniping of all the holy soldiers, and he himself set up a gun and shot at the British army.

Although many British soldiers were killed, the rate of fire of the shotguns was too slow, and the British troops still approached the battery step by step.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the doorway on the southeast side, and several British soldiers climbed through the doorway and rushed into the fort.

"The ghosts rushed in!" The knife hand waiting on the side of the door hole shouted loudly, and slashed with a knife. The two British soldiers who rushed to the front subconsciously raised their hands to cover it, their arms were cut in two, and they fell to the ground with screams and rolls.

The British soldiers in the back opened fire with a bang, and the two holy soldiers next to them fell in response.

As soon as a few British soldiers rushed in, more than ten spears on both sides of the door hole stabbed along the door wall, and the British soldiers who had just entered the door hole were immediately pierced into hedgehogs.

Seeing this, the British troops behind did not dare to rush into the doorway.
