The hail of dense mortar shells, bombarding the British warships, will be on the deck waiting for the return of the army, watching the situation of the British Navy to blow up,

Because after waiting for a while, the Chinese artillery had already predicted the situation in all aspects, and as a result, the blow was very accurate,

On the battleship, hundreds of officers and men led by General Nelson were blown up by a cannonball that fell from the sky, and the whistling shell brought a thrilling impression to people at the moment when it hit the top of the head, making many British soldiers unconscious.

In the first wave of bombardment, seven shells hit the British battleship, and as a result, more than 120 British sailors were killed and wounded, and several guys were blown off the deck.

At the moment of the bombardment, General Nelson came to his senses, and he suddenly rushed to the command headquarters of the warship, which was high on the bridge, and "the hateful Chinese guy 1" he shouted in grief,

It was not interesting to shout anything, the general wanted to direct the troops to bombard the enemy, but before he could run onto the bridge, he was lifted off by a shell, he rose into the air and fell down heavily, and then, unconscious,

In the initial confusion, the squadron's attack was very effective, killing and wounding at least more than 400 British soldiers, so the sober British army could only quickly move the warship and flee towards the depths of the bay, wanting to distance themselves and retaliate against this hateful pretender.

The Chinese mortars were extremely viciously tracking the British warships for bombardment, and the bombardment of more than 30 cannons made the British mistakenly think that they were hundreds of cannons.

Because there were still more than a dozen gunboats on the beach and hundreds of real British soldiers, the British fleet did not dare to bombard, so they could only retreat first.

Qiu Yuancai laughed and immediately ordered the officers and soldiers, "Let's go, let's stop playing, be careful of the British Maozi's cannon biting us." ”

The squadron retreated at a rapid pace and left the coastline, and only those brave mortars, swallowing up the shells and beating the causal fleet to the point of vomiting blood, retreated victoriously,

In order to avoid losses, the dozen or so British gunboats, the ** did not take a fancy to them,

In this battle, also known as the battle of the sand horn battery, the British dispatched almost all the forces of the vanguard fleet, and also supplemented the officers and men of the naval fleet, as a result, none of them were spared, the first wave of more than 2,000 army troops, the second wave of more than 1,300 people, the third wave of more than 700 people, and finally more than 400 marines, a total of more than 4,500 British Royal Army, was surrounded and annihilated by the squadron, therefore, shamefully destroyed.

The squadron captured more than 500 people, and the rest were all killed, and as a result, this battle became the first large-scale victory in Chinese history to systematically eliminate the British devils, also known as the Great Victory at Shajiao.

This battle made the squadron greatly build up self-confidence, and also made Britain, the richest and most powerful country, afraid of China.

The squadron captured more than 4,100 rifles, more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition, many pounds of gunpowder, as well as 3,200 sabers, 27 mountain guns, 1,300 shells, captured 15 military flags, killed and captured 3 British colonels, 7 lieutenant colonel officers, 13 majors, and a group of other officers.

The casualties of the squadron **, 732 people, including the previous battle to annihilate the enemy's 1,000 people, so this loss should be the base of 5,600 British troops, and the ratio of its battle losses is basically eight to one.

Originally, the battle was about to end, and Qiu Yuancai didn't have the confidence to bite a bite of fat on the British fleet, but he was soon stunned by the new intelligence: "General, the British Maozi's fleet has returned again." ”

"Ah, return." He suspected that the enemy was going to retaliate,

"I guess it's a dozen gunboats heading for the coast." The intelligence officer explained,

Qiu Yuancai hurriedly observed and found that the British army did have such an attempt, so he mobilized his mortar and other artillery again near the Shajiao Fort, and in order to prevent the British from regaining the gunboats, he also sent 100 infantry, as snipers, to rush there first.

Sure enough, the British really wanted to recapture the gunboats,

The squadron is crazy with joy, Nima, you just don't think you died fast enough,

The British ** ship began to bombard the coast, but, after a few cannons, they began to send small sampans down, seven or eight small sampans, each carrying a dozen soldiers, rowing towards the gunboats.

The Chinese infantry immediately advanced to the coast, and when the British reached the edge of the gunboats, they fired decisively,

The Chinese rifle, which has a maximum range of more than 800 meters, is still very easy to hit the British, and after a burst of random shooting, the British sampan was beaten to the ground and screamed, and many British soldiers were killed and fell into the sea.

Don't look down on small gunboats, each has dozens of tons, hundreds of tons, installed with a main gun, several small cannons, its power is still good, especially in inland river battles, the draft is shallow, suitable for battles in many places,

Qiu Yuan wanted to save a few more British lives, and even more wanted to get these gunboats back, so he decided to spend it with the British fleet.

The British battleships, continuing to bombard, that is, the British sailors on the sampan, also continued to shoot, the bullets rained down, the artillery roared, quite spectacular,

The squadron was very cunning, and when it saw the enemy's warship artillery bombardment, it knew that it could not be provoked, so it quickly shrank its head and dodged with a turtle, but as soon as the British sampan approached the gunboat, it immediately told them with rifle bullets that this was the place of death.

In order to fight for these gunboats, the British and the squadron fought repeatedly, and finally, after two hours of fighting, the British finally took a sampan belt and a gunboat was recaptured.

However, the rest of the sampans, the rest of the British troops, and the many gunboats stranded on the beach, all of them were in trouble, and they became chicken ribs that could not be salvaged.

General Nelson was seriously wounded and unable to command, and now, it was the other officers who were in charge of the command, and they felt that General Nelson was responsible for the previous defeat, and as long as he could recover the gunboat, it would be a meritorious achievement, which is why there was such a tragic battle,

Most of the sampans of the British army were sunk, and the personnel were killed and wounded, which can be described as heavy losses.

In the end, the British ** ship left the mouth of the Pearl River helplessly and fled towards the depths of the vast sea.

Since then, Nelson's fleet has failed in its attack on the Bay of Guangzhou, the southern gate of China, and the mouth of the Pearl River, and the British army has lost its troops, leaving only more than 1,500 naval officers and men, leaving the Chinese battlefield in disgrace and fleeing back to the big position in Malacca.

Qiu Yuancai watched the British ** ship disappear in the telescope, and then turned around, "Go back to Guangzhou immediately and send a telegram to Beijing." ”
