Chapter 459: Even if I'm a dog
More than 1,000 British troops wanted to block the action of the Chinese **, and the rest of the British troops continued to advance towards the north.
"Commander, commander, our city of Canton, the British devils are rushing to our city." Several adjutants saw the clue and immediately reminded Qiu Yuancai,
"I know, British devils, hum, our consul is right, these people are all drug dealers, Lao Tzu will never forgive them, rest assured, Liang Chengcai and Zhao Liewen are not good birds, and they will not lose a handful of rice if they steal chickens." Qiu Yuancai sneered, his face was no longer the style of the honest old Taiping Army general,
Qiu Yuancai told the troops to rest for a while,
"Commander, why are you resting, don't you fight immediately, do we have to let the devil enter the city and fight again."
Although Qiu Yuancai is a fierce man, he is still quite gentle with his subordinates, and he is bold enough, so many people will have questions.
"Lao Qiu has his own opinions."
The two armies met and began a fierce battle, as soon as the front came into contact, the Huaxia army retreated, and had to retreat its troops to the east, as if to avoid the enemy, this kind of order provoked all the officers and soldiers, and everyone cursed angrily,
The British army of 1,000 people, as if they were very proud, stood and did not chase, anyway, they were the partial divisions that protected the flanks, and they did not think of destroying the squadron here, looking at the number of squadrons, they had no illusions,
Under Qiu Yuancai's strict order, the middle ** 4,000 people retreated slightly, and then, 3,000 people rested, the guns did not fall off their shoulders, and the people did not leave the saddle, and they were ready to gallop forward to the north.
After a little respite, Qiu Yuancai led more than 100 cavalry and urged 1,000 infantry to attack the British army.
Because a large area of the British army is red, all wearing helmet-shaped hats, and the kind with spires, all kinds of decorations are dressed up in a variety of flowers, and it seems that there are far more elements of show than use,
The British army had three large square formations of infantry, a small circular line of cavalry, and no artillery.
Because of the disengagement, the distance of the kilometer must be shortened, so the first step forward,
As soon as they entered the distance of 400 meters, the British army was still waiting for the battle, and they heard another noise in the south, the sound of military trumpets, and the dull sound of gongs and drums.
It is indeed the British army, it is the follow-up army, no one knows what General Barry is playing, but the ambitious general, has already made a threat, after he has performed a series of tricks, he is determined to use all the army to defeat the proud Chinese, he wants to succeed in one fell swoop, so, he really bet all the treasures,
The 80,000 troops owned by the British army, in addition to more than 4,000 people in the first phase, more than 15,000 troops in the second phase, and 30,000 troops in the third phase, also came directly from Hong Kong on large and small ships.
"Hmph, I know that the generals of the squadron are all pigs, and they don't know military strategy at all." Lieutenant General Barry personally sat near the Humen Fort at the mouth of the Pearl River, while bombarding the Chinese fort, where although it has become ruins, there are still squadrons operating around the area, and there are hidden cannons, so he must ensure the safety of the transport ships.
On the shore of Dajiao, Shajiao, Humen, and somewhere in the bay to the west, all the warships of the British Far East Fleet pressed up and dealt with the possible Chinese batteries in batches, and as a result, the stormy shells bombarded all the Chinese batteries that could be hidden,
Piercing the nose ocean, that is, from the big horn bay at the mouth of the Pearl River in this area of Hong Kong, to the real big bay between the mouth of the Pearl River, became a battlefield raging by the British fleet, they frantically poured shells, destroying all the enemy, only a small number of coastal artillery squadrons, not the enemy's opponent at all, the British army won a complete victory,
In the bombardment, Lieutenant General Barry also sent troops with thousands of people to land near the fort, only as a sentry, not a real attack, that is, to continue to contain the squadron **, not to make it come back, he judged that the cunning Chinese generals, must be thinking about the dream of defensive counterattack, hoping to fish the British ** team ashore to eliminate, so, he pretended to fall into the trap, but he did not attack far away, stayed in the coastal beach area, and played with the ** squadron,
The British ** team in the fourth phase carried a large number of cannons and shells, more than 20,000 people, and more than 10,000 people in the fifth phase, with a large number of ambulance personnel, ammunition and gunpowder supplies, etc., Lieutenant General Barry, poured all his strength and dispatched the nest.
He wants to defeat the squadron in one fell swoop, and, to the greatest extent to eliminate the main force of the squadron, he wants to occupy Guangzhou, surround the troops in reverse, stab the back of the squadron, launch an attack, and destroy the hidden squadron near the three major forts.
Occupying the famous city of Guangzhou in one go, and then eliminating all the squadrons, is Lieutenant General Barry's brilliant plan, for this plan, he spent countless efforts, so, watching the implementation of the big plan, he is overjoyed,
From the defeat of Nelson's fleet and the annihilation of more than 5,000 armies, he attached great importance to the squadron, he believed that the British army's weapons and equipment could not be significantly ahead of the situation, only in a short period of time to concentrate superior forces, comprehensive attack on the enemy, in order to achieve victory, he believed, 80,000 troops swarming, although the squadron in the area of Guangzhou may be as high as 100,000, but distributed in a radius of hundreds of miles around the city, the army that can really be used for war, gathered in the vicinity of Guangzhou City ten miles of troops, will not exceed 40,000, Moreover, the number of troops that can concentrate on field battles is only 20,000, so he has the confidence to decide,
The British army in Hong Kong used a large number of Chinese traitors, informants, and some scum of the squadron to buy off, and it was easy to solve a lot of situations.
In fact, the British ** team is also very concerned about the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army, and has repeatedly asked about the equipment of the Chinese **, hoping to get their hands on it strictly, but unfortunately, those shameless leading party are timid and afraid of things, and do not think it is very important, so that the British army has not been able to know that the huge gap in armaments, if the traitor with a sense of responsibility really leaked the secret of the Chinese rifle to the British army, or the light and powerful characteristics of the mortar are known to the British, it is estimated that General Barry will do something, It is not a conspiracy to attack, but to stop all military operations, and never dare to act rashly again.
What is the concept of the troops of the 30,000 British troops,
The mountains are all over the wilderness to describe, although vague, but it is still very vivid, these 30,000 British troops, just like the wildebeest herd on the seasonal migration of the African savannah, the overwhelming situation, who is not shocked,
Qiu Yuancai hurriedly stopped his horse, observed with a telescope, looked at so many enemies, and at the same time was shocked, he smiled: "Hehe, so many human meat buns, it's good, okay, just treat me as a dog, anyway, you opium dealers' meat buns, as long as you dare to throw them over, there will definitely be no return." ”
