The attack on the city of Guangzhou was the result of the careful planning of Lieutenant General Barry, and it should be said that it was very wonderful in terms of the means of hiding the sky and defrauding the Chinese, and if the squadron facing the ** team was still in the pre-Qing era, the British armament would once again write the glory of history,

It's a pity that eight years later, times have really changed, and they have become too much,

The poor four thousand elites have completely become the hooves of their own dead face begging others to eat and send them to the door.

Cleaned the battlefield, by the time it was dark, the ** had already counted accurate battle data, a total of 3,106 British soldiers were killed, 530 wounded and captured, the rest of the more than 500 prisoners, more than 4,000 British troops, 28 years ago, they could directly hit the divine soldiers of the Chaobai River Estuary in Tianjin, and now, there is no scum left in a finger that has been destroyed, tragedy,

This is the ridicule of the times, the paralyzing careless British ** team, they still think they are high gods, I don't want to, history has given them a big mouth, this mouth is beaten, 4,000 elites are foaming at blood,

The squadron suffered 201 casualties, 237 wounded, 17 civilians, 83 civilians were killed by British mountain artillery bombardment, and 12 were accidentally wounded and killed by the mortars of the squadron.

The battle is over victoriously, and the price paid by the ** is not small, killing and wounding an infantry battalion,

However, the overall result of the battle is that the ratio of nine to one, the squadron should be relieved, the enemy's sneak attack, caused a disturbance to the squadron, which is also a factor of large casualties in the squadron,

At the mouth of the Pearl River, the British fleet returned to the north, and used artillery to bombard the guerrilla mortars along the coast, the fleet's strong firepower, achieved an overwhelming advantage, so the British army protected ten merchant ships, transported soldiers to the Pearl River port,

Under the cover of gunboats, these ships came to the shore, and the British soldiers jumped down desperately, rushed to the shore, and then, occupying a number of places, protecting the rest of the fleet and gunboats to continue their advance,

China's estuary gunboats fought to the death with the British army, because of the draft problem, the heavy cruisers did not dare to break in casually, relieving the pressure on the Chinese army, otherwise, the British fleet drove over and immediately stepped on the gunboats.

Twenty minutes of fierce fighting, four of the ten Chinese gunboats were sunk, three were damaged, and the rest were not right at first sight, so they could only hurry away, anyway, the great consul said that unless it was a last resort, seeing that the situation was not good, you could slip to work, the British gunboats did not inherit one, and damaged two, the situation of the naval battle proved that the British army won and won because the British army was well-trained and had actual combat experience, and there were light cruisers to help in the war, and the Chinese ** was not an opponent,

The Chinese sailors sacrificed more than 90 people and injured more than 30 people, and the price was not small, but their heroic and brave fighting spirit was also affirmed by their superiors after the war.

After eliminating the interference, the British fleet went directly to the inland river of the Pearl River, and then, with many soldiers, landed and killed the city of Guangzhou.

Vice Admiral Barry this time, for his own wonderful, genius plan, almost desperately, put the entire naval fleet to use, not to mention, such a trouble, really suppressed the squadron, what a big horn, sand called the fort, Humen fort, are all illusory, the British will attack the action of these three forts as the premise of the foreshadowing, temptation, so that the ** will turn their attention to the open sea forts, and the city of Guangzhou is empty,

This proves that Lieutenant General Barry is indeed a clever commander, and Jiang is still old and spicy, and he has not eaten in vain.

This is a big battle, Lieutenant General Barry planned, to break through the city of Guangzhou in one fell swoop, after occupying Guangzhou, all the surrounding squadrons must be extremely depressed, discouraged and disappointed, the possible result is that they will flee without a fight, he thinks that as long as the city of Guangzhou is occupied, the British will win,

Standing on the deck bridge of the giant battlefleet with a displacement of 10,000 tons, climbing high and looking into the distance, he was full of ambition and triumphant, "Hmph, Chinese, if you work hard, maybe there are some, if you want to talk about wisdom, it is simply not possible." ”

The British have reported that near the three major forts guarding the open sea, there are a large number of squadrons assembled nearby, as if they are guarding, but the British ** team is only bombarding the forts and is not close, so that the cannon of the medium ** has no heroic use.

"Your Excellency, our ......," the adjutant asked,

"Well, let's continue to attack, our surface fleet is the main elite of the shock and traction of the **, don't worry, we will win."

At this moment, General Qiu Yuancai, the commander of China's Guangzhou Military Region, had already received a report that the elite of the British army had attacked the city of Guangzhou, and although the situation had been stabilized, he also deeply understood that the British were insidious and cunning, and they were not easy to deal with, and he could not judge which place the enemy wanted to attack, and he did not know whether the sneak attack on the city of Guangzhou was a feint. He led an elite army of 3,000 people and quickly rushed back to the city of Guangzhou, and also drew 1,000 from the troops fighting near the fort in Humen.

Many things are unimaginable, no matter how perfect people's plans are, they will often become different due to various conditions in their implementation.

Qiu Yuancai's reinforcement corps can be regarded as the strength of a brigade, and it just hit the waist of the British reinforcements.

On the way back, a scout cavalry returned in horror, saying that they had found the British army, and that it was a large area.

Qiu Yuancai was shocked, what else did he say, and immediately sent personnel, first, back to Guangzhou City to inform Liang Chengcai and Zhao Liewen, asking them to strengthen their defenses, and second, send manpower back to the Humen area, and send another 2,000 of the more than 4,000 troops back to participate in the war.

Qiu Yuancai's 4,000-strong troops encountered the British army, and the British flank rangers also discovered the middle **, but the British army divided a battalion of troops to monitor, and the rest of the troops continued to march towards Guangzhou City.

The commander in charge of the British Army is a lieutenant general, Bolton, Bolton means, is a small village on the hill, and is also a familiar name, very ordinary, however, this person is not ordinary, he has dozens of combat experience, participated in two Opium Wars, conquered several countries in Southeast Asia, in the Afghan War, when he was a small soldier, he escaped the disaster by luck, therefore, he is determined and ruthless,

"Our goal is Guangzhou City, not a squadron in the wild, we have to grasp the key point, and we can't be affected by a few pieces of uninteresting fat." He said decisively,

This time, the British army mobilized more than 12,000 people, the scale is so large, it can be said that it is extraordinary, this kind of attack, is unimaginable to Qiu Yuancai, they estimate, the British army mainly won with the navy, the army is just a façade,

12,000 people, only the troops that went north to take Guangzhou, and the British army that landed and occupied the surrounding river bank very early still had 3,000 people, the purpose was to create confusion, so that the squadron could not judge the center of gravity of the British attack.

Qiu Yuancai is more than brave and resourceful, but war is first and foremost a game for the brave, so he didn't say a word, and fought directly, and more than 1,000 British troops fought fiercely with more than 4,000 squadrons.

The squadron is all elite, of which three thousand are veterans of a hundred battles who follow Qiu Yuancai, and there is also an artillery regiment, a hundred mortars, what is the concept,
