Chapter 14: Heb's Death Inconceivable

Guo Ye and He Zhengqing were shooting nervously, just saw another shell fall on the opponent's battleship, He Zhengqing laughed loudly, it was so enjoyable, since he joined the army, he has never been so enjoyable!

At this time, Guo Ye pounced on him and knocked He Zhengqing down, and then the two of them rolled out of the way!

Boom Boom!

Shells continued to explode around them, and at least four or five shells landed near them, blasting the top of the battery beyond recognition, and even the invincible general was hit, and the barrel of the cannon broke from it!

cough cough cough ......

He Zhengqing coughed and lifted Guo Ye who was lying on top of him, shook Guo Ye's shoulder and shouted: "Yezi, brother, brother!" ”

Guo Ye also fluttered his head, sobered up, it was so dangerous, if it wasn't for the wrong sound of the cannon he heard, he saw the opportunity early, and threw the eldest brother away, he would definitely be blown into ashes!

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Big brother, this is a battlefield, you dare to be distracted at this time, if it weren't for my ......"

He Zhengqing's face turned red, and he replied: "Okay, big brother owes you a life, and then you can't get carried away anymore, come, let's continue, ******, let's fight with foreign devils to the end today!" ”

However, the two of them shook their faces and looked over, the cannon had been completely destroyed, half of the barrel was still emitting black smoke, and the cannon body had also been damaged to a certain extent, and it was impossible to enter the battle again, even the Qing soldiers who had just loaded themselves with shells had been blown up!

He Zhengqing was so angry that he scolded his mother, Guo Ye hurriedly said: "Big brother, this cannon is not working, let's change guys!" ”

The two of them chose a cannon again, although it was one size smaller than the cannon just now, but it was already the most powerful of the North Fort, the two of them were busy nervously, it was still Zhang Yi who measured the range, He Zhengqing adjusted the cannon body, and soon the cannon was adjusted in place.

With He Zhengqing's roar, the cannonballs came out in response and flew towards the warship at sea!

On the sea, now Heb's cruiser was hit again, although it was only on the deck, but it still caused damage to the battleship, the fire was burning on the battleship, the smoke was billowing out, Heb hurriedly ordered the sailors to put out the fire, and the whole battleship was in chaos.

However, the warships did not dare to get as close as before, and gradually withdrew from this small area, and began to attack more violently, with heavy losses, if they did not take Dagukou, they would not be able to explain to their superiors!

The artillery battle between the two sides was still going on, and when Heb was directing the battle, a cannonball flew over again, hitting a mast on the ship, blowing the mast to pieces, and the unfortunate Heb was too close to the mast, and a broken piece of wood with the thickness of an arm and more than two feet long flew over, right in the middle of Heb, and the sharp stubble was as sharp as a sharp knife, passing through Heb's chest!

Heb lowered his head with difficulty, his face was full of incredulity, there were a lot of winds and waves, and he had charged in the rain of bullets, and he was almost never injured, and today, today he was killed by a piece of stubble!

Yes, the broken wood of the thickness of the arm, pierced from the front chest, the back has already exposed the spikes, the internal organs are almost all smashed by it, on the battlefield, there is no hospital, it is impossible to carry out timely surgery, how can it be alive?

Heb slammed down on the deck, and the soldiers around him were stunned, this unfortunate general had been stabbed to death by a log!

The staff officers on the side hurriedly rushed over and hugged Hebu urgently, but Heb's injuries were too serious, and it was impossible to stop the bleeding.

Captain Aiden shouted eagerly: "Quick, immediately send a signal, order all the battleships to retreat and withdraw from the battle, General Heb is seriously injured and can no longer command the battle!" ”

The signal soldiers on the ship hurriedly boarded the signal station and waved the signal flag to the battleships around them, giving a signal to retreat! As for the soldiers who have already landed at the mouth of Dagu, they can't take care of it now, and since they have rushed up, it is impossible to think about taking them down!

One by one, the warships began to withdraw under the command of the generals towards the open sea of Dagukou.

On the north fort, Guo Ye and He Zhengqing admired their masterpieces, it was the shell just now, the cruiser in the middle, that caused the opponent's fleet to be in chaos and retreat in a panic, needless to say, it was definitely an important task that was blown up, or killed, otherwise, it would never be possible to retreat so quickly.

The win is decided!

Without the threat of the fleet, just relying on the hundreds of British soldiers who rushed ashore, they are definitely not the opponent of the soldiers of the Dagukou Fort!

He Zhengqing shouted: "Brother, retreat, the foreigners' fleet has retreated!" ”

Guo Ye also breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Big brother, immediately let people prepare cables, the more the better, and horses!" ”

He Zhengqing was stunned for a moment and asked, "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”

Guo Ye replied: "Big brother, didn't you see that giant ship at sea? Now that the opposing fleet has retreated, we must catch the fleet before it sinks to the bottom of the sea! That's a treasure, a priceless treasure! What we lack most now in the Qing Dynasty is warships, foreign guns, and foreign cannons! Gotta get her back! ”

He Zhengqing suddenly realized, and hurriedly ordered people to go down to prepare.

Guo Ye continued: "Big brother, you see, there are almost five or six hundred foreign devils rushing ashore now, a large number of people, I am afraid that the South Fort is a little unable to support it, we must rush to the aid of the South Fort and assist Lord Long to annihilate this group of foreign devils in one fell swoop!" ”

He Zhengqing nodded and said, "Yes, what you said makes sense, let's go!" ”

He Zhengqing left more than 100 people to stay in the fort, and led 500 capable Qing troops with Guo Ye to pounce towards the south fort.

Guo Ye is right, the five or six hundred British and French soldiers are well-equipped, brave and good at fighting, whether in terms of individual combat ability, tactical command, or weapons and equipment, they are far from being comparable to the Qing army.

Hundreds of British and French troops shouted one by one, and launched a charge towards the South Fort, rows of soldiers lined up in several columns, alternately covering the advance, no matter how approaching the South Fort, the bullets rained down, just less than an hour of fighting, the Qing army in the South Fort had already suffered more than 400 casualties, and the rest of the people were still gritting their teeth and insisting on fighting, there was no way, General Dong Cheng was ordered by Long Ruyuan to hold a steel knife, that dared to take half a step back, and there was no mercy!

If you die on the way to escape, it will be in vain, or you will escape and be beheaded, and you deserve to die, one by one the Qing army gritted its teeth and fell into a bitter battle with the coalition army!
