Facing the shelling of the French army head-on, the flank was attacked by the British cavalry, the Qing army was completely unable to stop the offensive of the British and French forces, under the repeated impact of the British and French forces, the formation was in chaos, and the Qing army completely collapsed!

Monk Greenqin had to lead tens of thousands of troops to begin a large-scale retreat in the direction of Tianjin!

The entire position was captured by the British and French forces in one fell swoop, and Seng Lingqin was defeated all the way.

Monk Greenqin withdrew, but he killed He Zhengqing, who was still guarding Dagukou!

He Zhengqing, as the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town, commanded nearly 3,000 troops, plus the artillery stationed at Dagukou, with a total strength of more than 4,000 people, all of whom were assembled around the Dagukou Fort.

Today, He Zhengqing is still fighting to the death with the British and French fleets on the sea, but unexpectedly, the British and French forces came from Beitang and defeated the army of Seng Lingqin, blocking the entire Tianjin town in the mouth of Dagu!

After Meng Daban occupied the position of the Qing army, he immediately gathered all the artillery, turned the gun head, aimed at the Dagukou fort group, and launched a fierce artillery offensive towards the Dagukou fort!

He Zhengqing was caught off guard and was caught off guard by the French artillery, and the entire Dagu mouth was all in chaos!

"What's going on, what's going on?"

He Zhengqing watched his artillery fall in pieces under the fire of the French army, and the artillery on the fort was also destroyed in large numbers, he was furious, grabbed the general's collar, and shouted angrily.

The general was also pale at this time, and said astringently: "Military gate, military gate!" Oh no, all of us to the west are foreign troops, and the shells are coming from the west, and we are surrounded! ”

He Zhengqing's face turned pale, he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and shouted angrily: "West? Aren't most of the cavalry of the monk king and the infantry of the Beijing camp concentrated in the west, how can there be an army of foreigners? ”

The participants were dumbfounded, and I didn't know why, but the foreigners' shells were true, they fell on the Dagukou fort, blowing up the forts one by one, and only the foreigners' shells had such power!

He Zhengqing was completely dumbfounded, the day before yesterday, he swore to the monk that he would defend Dagukou, and he also encouraged himself, in the blink of an eye, the monk disappeared without a trace, and completely handed over his back to the enemy!

Well, now that the east is the sea, dozens of warships of the British fleet are constantly shelling, attacking Dagukou, and the British and French armies are also aiming their guns at themselves. How can there be hope of victory?

The general said in a low voice on the side: "Lord Junmen, we are the enemy on our backs, and we are definitely not the opponents of foreigners, it must be that the army of the monk king can't beat others, and we retreat first, we can't defend anymore, if we go on like this, the annihilation of the whole army is our only ending!" ”

"Fart!"

He Zhengqing kicked the general to the ground and roared: "Run? I, He Zhengqing, have never thought of escaping since the first day I joined the army, let alone the foreign devils I am facing? , behind you are your food and clothing, your brothers and sisters, do you want to talk about foreigners who put them into the country to spoil our good rivers and mountains? Even if it is death, Lao Tzu will die in Dagukou! ”

The general's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Lord Junmen, you are not afraid of death, and you are not a bad breed!" As long as you don't retreat, Lao Tzu will always be by your side! If you want to die, go to Hades together! Isn't it just a foreign devil, Lao Tzu fought with them! ”

He Zhengqing nodded and shouted, "Brothers, the time has come to serve the country!" Pass the order, all the personnel will enter the battle state for me, even if it is the last person who fights, I must definitely keep the mouth of Dagu without losing! ”

After He Zhengqing finished speaking, he came to the Armstrong cannon again and shouted: "Come on, load the cannonball for Lao Tzu!" Fight with all your might! ”

Everyone present was shocked by He Zhengqing's courage, with such a general who is not afraid of death and charges ahead, the brothers below, which one will retreat? Officials are not afraid, are we a small soldier afraid of death?

He Zhengqing's troops were divided into two routes, one way to resist the warships at sea, and the other to resist the attack of the British and French armies!

The entire Dagukou was plunged into a tragic battle, and there was gunsmoke everywhere, and the flames of war were flying!

On the Dagu Pass, the battle has been fierce from the evening of the previous day to the afternoon of the next day, and it has not stopped for a moment!

Under the front and rear attacks of the British and French coalition forces, even if the Qing army is brave and good at fighting, it is difficult to resist without fear of death!

In one day and one night, more than 4,000 soldiers at Dagukou suffered more than 3,000 casualties, and less than 1,000 people were able to persist in the battle, and the cannons on the fort had also been lost, and there were less than 10 that could be used. Without the deterrence of cannons, how can they still stop the steel giants at sea?

Meng Daban gave an order, with the cavalry as the vanguard, and took the lead in launching a charge towards the Dagukou fort, and under the cover of artillery fire, the cavalry rushed to Dagukou at a gallop!

He Zhengqing looked coldly at the cavalry charging from afar, stretched out his hand to hold an iron spear in his hand, the time for desperate efforts has come, I, He Zhengqing, have been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and I have never thought that I will die on the battlefield in the countryside, a manly man, and I will die on the battlefield!

He Zhengqing yelled: "Brothers, pick up the guys and fight for the foreign devils!" ”

Saying this, He Zhengqing took the lead in rushing towards the cavalry, and the hundreds of Qing troops behind, all of whom could stand up, all struggled to follow behind the military gate and launched a charge!

It's just flesh and blood, how can it be compared with the cavalry's carbine? Even if the cavalry didn't shoot, the huge impact of the Arabian horses alone was definitely not something that the Qing infantry could resist!

Before He Zhengqing rushed to the enemy's approach, a cannonball in the distance happened to fall beside He Zhengqing, and the violent explosion directly rolled He Zhengqing's body up and fell heavily in the distance!

"Lord Junmen!"

"Lord Junmen!"

The pro-soldiers near He Zhengqing were shocked and rushed towards He Zhengqing!

When he came to the front, He Zhengqing was already motionless in the morning, and the shells exploded violently, blowing He Zhengqing to the ground, and blood was bubbling out all over his body, and a generation of loyal souls passed away suddenly!

He Zhengqing was martyred, and the Qing army under his command completely lost their backbone, and they could no longer launch a decent offensive, and they scattered in a hurry, and there were good eyes, and the pro-army wanted to take He Zhengqing's remains away, but they were also killed by the cavalry on the spot!

The west wind is fierce, the war is raging, and the blood pierces the air!

Dagukou has fallen!
