After several rounds of artillery bombardment, most of the more than 30 small and medium-sized guns in the fort and trench at the eastern end of Shajiao were silent, and only seven or eight of them remained in the fort and continued to fire at each other. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The artillery outside the battery, it is not that the artillery was blown up, but that the gunners were badly killed and wounded, and the remaining uninjured also found cover and hid.

Taking advantage of the suppression of the artillery bombardment, the British troops on both flanks, armed with foreign guns, began to line up and force towards the fort.

Vermilion ordered the remaining artillery in the turret to no longer fire at the foreigner field guns that were relatively far away, but to turn the muzzle and shoot at the nearest foreigners who were approaching!

However, it was very difficult for the artillery in the battery, even for small and medium-caliber guns, to turn a slightly larger angle, so the artillery turned very slowly.

Charles ordered the field artillery to fire two more rounds, and when he saw that there was no sound from the fort, he ordered the whole army to press on it with confidence, and at the same time, he did not forget to call Bai Gui and others in the back, let the Qing soldiers take the lead, and go to the front to attack from the east side of the fort.

The British troops on the southwest side were also all pressed, but the side of this side was full of hills and trees, and they walked slowly.

The British troops on the east side of the fort deliberately stopped for a moment, allowing Bai Gui and them to lead the Qing soldiers to rush first and attract the fire of the holy army. And Bai Gui still let those mercenaries rush to the front.

But the mercenary Yong had already killed more than 100 people, and at this time he already knew that there was a dangerous enemy behind the fort, and he was forced by Bai Gui's own soldiers to rush forward with foreign guns.

Closer, closer, closer than 100 paces, but Vermilion still didn't let the Holy Army fire.

He was experienced and knew that the most ferocious enemy was the foreigner, and he was still behind, and he wanted to wait for the foreigner to come up before firing the cannon. But the cunning foreigners are always following behind the Qing soldiers.

Continue on, only 40 steps from the trench.

"Ahh … Yes! ”

"There are traps!"

In front of the fort, in the two vegetable fields that were reclaimed by the Qing soldiers of the fort, many bamboo sticks were inserted, and only a small section of the soil was exposed, indicating that the tense mercenaries did not check for a while, and most of them were from poor backgrounds, and they did not even have a pair of good shoes, and most of them were wearing straw sandals.

The thirty or forty mercenaries in the front row were brave, and as soon as they stepped on it, they were pierced into the footboard by bamboo sticks, and the pain was incomparable, and they immediately screamed and cried.

The mercenaries in the back row no longer dared to step forward, and moved back one after another.

Seeing this, Bai Gui hurriedly ran back a few steps and explained the situation to Charles.

Charles asked Bai Gui to use the long pole on the military flag to sweep away all the bamboo sticks in the vegetable field and move on. Bai Gui was helpless, so he asked his soldiers to take a few flagpoles and handed them to the Qing mercenary Yong to eliminate the bamboo sticks.

When the mercenary Yong just squatted down and swept the floating soil layer of the vegetable field with a flagpole, the shotgun in the trench rang out, and hundreds of lead bullets were fired.

The mercenaries turned around and ran, and Bai Gui asked the soldiers to stop drinking again and again, and fired a few shots, but to no avail. The soldiers continued to rush down the hill, and Charles in the back saw this, with a cold face, waved his hand to the British soldiers beside him, and the British soldiers in the front row stood still, raised the foreign guns in their hands, and Charles shouted softly: "Shoot!" ”

I saw the sound of bullets entering the flesh, and dozens of soldiers at the front looked at the foreigners in disbelief and fell to the ground. The soldiers who followed immediately stopped and did not dare to move again.

Charles asked the British to force the mercenaries with guns and pull out the bamboo sticks.

The holy soldiers in the trench continued to shoot at the mercenaries who were pulling out the bamboo sticks at the front, but at the same time, the British soldiers hid behind the soldiers and the Qing army, and fired at the holy soldiers who were shooting in the trenches.

After a few rounds of shotguns, the mercenary Yong had already suffered hundreds of casualties, while the holy soldiers had more than twenty dead and wounded.

The remaining three or four hundred mercenaries shouted bravely, and then ran to the side despite the threat of the foreigners.

After a while, he let out a cry of "ah" and "help", but it turned out that he was caught in the iron thistle array arranged by the holy soldiers in advance.

The foreigners, who happened to be attacking from the flank of the hill, also arrived, and when they saw the condition of the mercenary bravery, they immediately understood that there were traps on the flanks near the forts and trenches.

Charles ordered the British to ignore the brave soldiers, step by step, and use the flagpoles and bayonets on foreign guns to remove bamboo sticks and thistles and open the way.

At this time, seeing that the foreigners were all approaching the killing range of the shotgun, Zhu Hong roared angrily: "Brothers, kill the foreign devil who fucks Lao Tzu!" ”

Suddenly, all the holy soldiers in the trench raised their spears and opened fire, and the thud resounded throughout the hill. The gunners in the battery also lit their artillery and aimed it at the dense British troops, and bombarded it.

The British army didn't expect that there were so many holy soldiers in the trench, so they hurriedly squatted on the ground in a panic, but the foreign guns in their hands did not stop, aiming at the outcropping holy soldiers, and then snapped a shot.

Each shell of the artillery could kill and wound two or three British soldiers, but there were too few guns and the firing speed was very slow, and after the shotgun had been fired one round, it was difficult to reload the bullets, and the rate of fire was too low.

The two sides shot back and forth, and the British army advanced with foreign guns, and the soldiers had good marksmanship, and slowly gained the upper hand.

The Holy Army originally relied on the geographical advantages of the trenches and batteries, plus the help of artillery, and initially wounded some British troops, but slowly as the Holy soldiers in the trenches suffered more and more casualties, they gradually fell into disadvantage.

In addition, the British army on the southeast flank also took the opportunity to clean up the thistle terrestris, and attacked, nearly 1,000 foreign guns aimed at the trench, and the holy soldiers fired dozens of foreign guns as soon as they appeared, and later, the holy soldiers could not raise their heads.

However, Vermilion asked the holy soldiers not to look up, because they usually didn't aim much when they fired shotguns, and now in this situation, they didn't have to look up. Aim the shotgun roughly in that direction, and slam it.

Basically, as long as you don't hit too high, you can hit one or two British soldiers.

Vermilion urged his brothers to hurry up and shoot the lead bullet in his hand through the shotgun.

In addition to being killed and wounded by howitzers at the beginning, nearly 100 people were killed and wounded by British guns. The absence of the holy soldier had an effect, and there were no more casualties later.

But at the same time, it also made it easier for the British army to clean up bamboo sticks and thistles.

The two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour.

However, the British army continued to lose manpower. In addition to being killed and wounded by the artillery of the Holy Army, more than 80 people were also wounded and killed by shotguns in the trenches in the past half an hour, and the number of wounded is still increasing.

Unfortunately, at this time, the gunners who followed behind the British army had already set up the field guns, adjusted the angle of the artillery, and began to fire shells, because they were hitting trenches, and the British army still used relatively precious howitzers.

At this point, the situation reversed, and the holy soldiers in the trench began to suffer more casualties.

Seeing that the brothers were killed one by one, Zhu Hong's eyes were red.

Originally, there were nearly 400 brothers in the trench, but now only more than 100 people are still fighting, nearly 200 people have died, nearly 100 people have been seriously injured, and I don't know how many will survive.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hong ordered: "After leaving the ten brothers behind, the rest of the brothers will all withdraw into the fort!" ”

As soon as the words were finished, two more howitzers fell into the trench and exploded, killing two more brothers.

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Zhu Hong was angry and shouted: "I will order you to be the commander of the division, you, you, and all of you will go back to the fort for Lao Tzu, and continue to beat foreign devils fiercely for me!" ”

Then he said to the remaining ten holy soldiers: "Brothers, since you have volunteered to stay, you will work with Lao Zhu to intercept the foreign devils." First block the secret passage into the fort. ”

Everyone responded and used a big knife to cut the iron chain that pulled up the boulder, and the boulder fell with a thud, instantly sealing the secret passage directly connecting the fort and the trench.

As soon as the brothers in the fort heard the sound, they knew what was happening, and they couldn't help but have a sour nose and tears in their eyes, and through the firing holes of the fort, they frantically fired at the foreigners outside.
