Chapter 183: Robbery and Anti-Robbery

Bali Bridge.

A convoy of British troops was escorting a convoy in the direction of Zhangjiawan, and in order to be able to transport these things safely to Tianjin as soon as possible, the British and French forces decided to transport all the looted assets to Tianjin through the North Canal.

This is already the second batch, the first batch has been transported to Zhangjiawan, this batch will also be sent to Zhangjiawan before dusk, the entire convoy, with thirty British escorts, including dozens of ordinary people hired by the British army, the British army did not expect to be able to encounter robbery here, and it was their British army that robbed!

Chen Hai here has already been prepared, the first batch of goods has not caught up, and this second batch must not be let go!

Chen Hai saw clearly through the monoculars, twenty carts, all of which were of value!

Rob!

If you don't grab it now, when will you wait?

Chen Hai shouted: "Brothers, get on the horse!" Charge! ”

The strength of a company, a hundred people, rushed towards the British troops in the distance!

The British army was on the march when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and saw a horse team from the north galloping towards their camp!

It's cavalry!

Second Lieutenant Morse shouted angrily: "Everyone is ready to fight at once!" ”

Thirty British soldiers raised their rifles, but by the time they raised their rifles, the horses in the distance had already raised their rifles and started firing at the British!

Bang bang bang......

The gunshots rang out like popping beans, and Morse was taken aback!

How can it be? There was even a Qing cavalry armed with Western rifles! Haven't they already been killed by the British and French forces in the battle of Gaobeidian? What the hell is going on??? Could it be that they are not suitable for the Qing army, but other armed forces?

It's just that if you think about these things at this time, it's already too late, Chen Hai's horse team is fast and fast, there are a hundred people, and the British army on the opposite side is only thirty people, where can they resist such a few people?

At that moment, the British army was put down by more than a dozen, and the accompanying farmers scattered in a hurry, and drilled into the nearby crop fields, Morse was shocked, no, quickly retreat, he is definitely not an opponent of others, and he resists hard here, there is only a dead end!

Seeing that the distance between the opponent's horse team was already less than two or three hundred meters, Morse roared angrily: "Order, retreat, retreat quickly!" ”

The remaining twenty or so people didn't dare to continue to resist at all, they turned around and ran, and now if they don't run and wait for the cavalry to rush to them, then there is really no way to live!

The British scattered in a hurry, ran into the distance, and threw twenty carts on the road.

Chen Hai's horse team soon arrived, and slightly ripped off the canvas on the car, twenty carts, each cart was either gold and silver, or antiques, and two carts of silk and satin, just these two carts, the minimum value will be above a million taels of silver!

Chen Hai laughed and said, "Haha, great, brothers, immediately take the car, quickly retreat north, and go straight to Huairou!" ”

A team of men and horses drove the carriage and ran into the distance!

Morse looked back in the distance, only to see that the horse team had no intention of continuing the pursuit at all, but just drove all the carriages away, Morse was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, twenty carts of babies, once these things were shipped back to Europe, it would be a million-pound fortune, and all of them were in vain!

Morse's second shipment was snatched up!

The first batch of goods will not be able to arrive in Tianjin safely!

As soon as the big ship transporting goods in Zhangjiawan lifted anchor, it was already targeted by Gao Qi, and he didn't want to run when he got on the ship!

Gao Qi rushed to Zhangjiawan and directly entered the headquarters of the Cao Gang in Zhangjiawan, dozens of guns were mounted on the chest of the boss of the Cao Gang, and he grabbed three big ships in one go, and rushed down to the southeast with dozens of brothers.

Personally escorted on the North Canal were the British captain company commander Thomas and the French lieutenant Hume, two men leading two platoons of troops to carry out a tight escort on two large ships.

Each of these ships carried priceless treasures, as soon as he stepped on the merchant ship south to Tianjin, Domarães thought it was safe, on the canal, no one dared to rob the British and French troops, now the British and French army flag is the best signboard, all the bandits and water pirates, none of them dared to approach, jokes, even the most elite Mongolian cavalry is not the opponent of others, not to mention some rabble bandits?

However, what Domarães didn't expect was that there would be a Qing army dressed up as bandits! And these Qing troops turned out to be the most powerful soldiers of Baoding Town and the soldiers of the firearms battalion! Even if it is one-on-one, everyone's combat power is not below the Anglo-French alliance, let alone in the situation of a large number of people?

While he was on the move, a soldier walked over quickly and said urgently: "Captain, something is wrong, you see, in our northeast direction, there are three big ships, which are approaching us, and there is a faint posture surrounding us!" ”

Dommarães was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the monocular and looked into the distance, and sure enough, three big ships, one was directly behind, and two were on the wings, faintly forming a situation of entrapment for his two ships!

Immediately, Domarães smiled and replied, "What are you afraid of, it's just a bunch of bandits and pirates, are they more powerful than the Mongol cavalry?" As soon as the muskets in our hands go off, they will have to flee in all directions! The order is given, the forces of both platoons are all in combat mode, and as soon as the opposing ships approach, give me full fire! ”

The British and French forces acted urgently, and the soldiers had just prepared for battle, when the three big ships had already approached the two big ships, relying on their huge size, and slammed into the two ships of the British and French forces!

The sailors on the boat hurriedly steered the big boat to dodge, and unknowingly entered the reed swing by the river!

The Anglo-French troops began to shoot one after another, trying to shoot the people of the straw boats, but where is it so easy?

Bang!

The ships finally collided, and Gao Qi began to command the brothers to attack the big ship of Domarães!

One by one, the disguised Qing troops jumped onto the big ship and began to attack the British and French forces!

The two sides are on the big ship, and a fierce battle has begun!

The Anglo-French army was only 50 people, but the Qing army had as many as 100 people!

These days, the brothers have long been suffocated, one by one like wolves, constantly launching a fierce attack on the British and French forces! Where could the two platoons of the British and French forces withstand the attack of others, and those who were beaten retreated one after another, and had to retreat behind the big ship, but now that there is water on all sides, where to flee?

Thomas and Hume were also dumbfounded, but no matter what, they couldn't be captured by these bandits, otherwise, they wouldn't know how to die!

Let's dive!

One by one, the soldiers of the British and French forces were forced to jump into the North Canal and escape!
