The main force of the British army had just set up camp more than ten miles away from the Qing army's camp, but it didn't come to pass, and the Qing army, which was much smaller in number, was killed first. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This Lin Kui and Xianfeng have been fighting for many years, and they are also old battles, and they know that they can only attack when the enemy's foothold is not stable. If the other side has a foothold, and has the absolute superiority of troops, the time and place are favorable, and the people are all on the enemy's side, then this battle will not be fought.

What made the British even more incomprehensible was that the strikers this time were all Britishmen with British-made muskets, and of course they had shaved their heads and lost their British clothes. Rows of muskets rang out from the ranks of the two-faced British, so how awkward did the British Army look.

These British Eight Banners were all captured by the Qing army when they were fighting grass valleys in various places, and the Qing army had long been experienced in this kind of thing. The people arrested from all over the country asked the young and strong to kill the useless old and weak in the local area first, and then let those who had already used the knife to see the blood kill those who refused to do it. In the end, the remaining batch was carried into the sequence of the British Eight Banners.

In this way, everyone is guaranteed to have plural English blood in his hands, even if he returns to the British camp, I am afraid that the British law will not spare him. As early as in Russia, Xianfeng used this means to unite more than 500,000 Russian Eight Banners. Although it may not be easy to use it on the battlefield, it can be used to suppress law and order in various parts of Russia.

Now that Lin Kui has no way to retreat in the British mainland, he simply uses these British Eight Banners as soldiers. Anyway, how many captured British rifles are needed, these things are disdainful of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army, but they are wasted if they are thrown away. simply gave the British Eight Banners, anyway, it was enough to kill the British.

Later generations of scholars recorded this war, and wrote in the text: The Qing army enslaved the British, and the British army enslaved the Indians and blacks, and in this battle between the Qing and the British, the Qing people died of the British, and the British died of Indians and blacks. Can anyone tell me what kind of war this is?

Under the organization of the British, rows of servant soldiers, led by British officers and non-commissioned officers, launched a counter-charge against the British Eight Banners of the Qing Army with platoon guns.

It's just that after getting closer, these servants were shocked to find that the person who was shooting at them with a platoon of guns on the other side turned out to be a pure-bred British uncle.

After seeing clearly that the British were on the other side, after a commotion in the servant army, they no longer ignored the command of the officer and non-commissioned officer, and retreated one after another.

A British aristocratic officer caught a running Ah San, gave him a mouth first, and yelled at him: "What are you running again? ”

This low-born Ah San pointed to the British Eight Banners opposite and said, "That's the British uncle, it's Kshatriya." How could I, a lowly Shudra-born man, shoot at a noble Kshatriya-born English master? That's to be relegated to pariahs. ”

In India, not to mention that low-caste people can't shoot high-caste people, they can't even walk side by side, they can't intermarry between high and low castes, otherwise the children born are not even low-caste, but lower-level Dalits, that is, untouchable people, who have to carry bells and brooms when they walk - when Dalits come, they must let others know that they should retreat first and not meet him, and that their footprints should be swept away by brooms on the way through and not stepped on.

The lower castes have a caste, and having a caste in the Hindustan region means having a job, having a certain social status and wealth. How can you be a pariah?

The British officer was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry. The inadmissibility of shooting at the British was fundamental to British rule over Hindustan region. Unexpectedly, the Indians, whose caste system is deeply entrenched, have not forgotten it until now. The problem is that the British didn't expect that the Qing army would coerce so many British to fight for them, in the eyes of the British, in fact, the life or death of these non-nobles is not important, but the Indians can't tell who is the British nobles. In the eyes of the Indians, the conquerors and the British were all Kshatriyas. (In Hinduism, Brahmins are monks, and whoever rules India they serve whomever they serve)

The British officer caught another who had fled with the man: "Say, what are you running again?" ”

: "When I see others running, I'll follow them." ”

The British officer was furious and wanted to shoot the two. But at this time, the British Eight Banners and the Qing Eight Banners were about to catch up, and the British officer said, "You two, carry me away." ”

Ah San: "No problem, Uncle England." ”

Ah San and the made a simple slide rod with two rifles and leggings, and carried the British officer away with the large army.

After the Qing army of Kuilin captured the camp of the British, the 600,000-strong army left behind all kinds of grain, grass, baggage, and artillery that had not had time to destroy the military supplies piled up. More than 100,000 captives were captured. But not many were killed on the battlefield. The two sides together were only 20,000 or 30,000 people, and there were not as many as the British army that broke up on the way to escape.

You must know that most British soldiers are forcibly conscripted. This time, after being inexplicably coerced by the servant army and suffering defeat at home, some homesick British soldiers simply ran straight in the direction of home.

Not long after the defeat, the news was sent to London through the developed telegraph system of the British (although the Qing army also destroyed the British telegraph poles and railways during the Grass Valley, but the British would repair it, and this time it was repaired all the way with the army), together with the British royal family and Downing Street, although they knew that the British Army was the godson who was sent by the phone bill, but they didn't expect this godson to lose so neatly this time. The British have used all their shipping capacity for the past few months to transport the servants.

What makes the British royal family and Downing Street even more unsettling is that almost all of Britain's warlike soldiers are now thrown to the front line. If the Qing army covered all the way, then London would have to rely on thousands of military police and tens of thousands of navies to defend it.

There is a way to think about the good generals in a national crisis, which will remind the British royal family and Downing Street of the British boxer and senior brother James who defended London at that time, and the Queen and the Prime Minister hurriedly gave James an order to reorganize his boxers and prepare to defend London.

In the midst of a rush of chickens and dogs in London, the Qing army stopped after a little pursuit. The first is that the troops are insufficient, and the second is that the gains are too abundant, and the various baggage left by the British army has already fed the Qing army, and it is also a big project to transfer so many materials back. Of course, this kind of thing must have been done by prisoners, and the Qing army had no reason to eat white rice here. The third is that even if you can't fight around, there is another British army present.

These tens of thousands of British troops, mainly cavalry, are the same, saying that the enemy is coming and I am retreating, and the enemy is retreating, and I am chasing. But never take the initiative to attack, unless it is a lone Qing army.

There were always unlucky Qing troops who took the wrong path and got lost by mistake in the vicinity of this British army's station. In the past few months, this British army of tens of thousands of people has fought more than 3,000 battles, annihilated more than 1,000 Qing troops, and rescued more than 5,000 British civilians captured by the Qing army -- the rest managed to escape.

Compared to the hundreds of thousands of British troops scattered in the face of the Qing army's attack, it was already a great victory.

Although the main force of the British army was not dealt with in time this time, it also successfully contained the main force of the Qing army so that it did not dare to pursue deeply. It can even be said that it indirectly protects the safety of London, with such a piece of kraft candy sticking, even if the Qing army doesn't care much on the surface, it is also uncomfortable. The 8,000 men that Lin Kui left for Ruilin were for him to watch this British army.
