Chapter 464: Unprecedented*

The thousands of strange British soldiers who attacked turned out to be the Trojan horse of Qiu Yuancai's army, and they mixed into the ranks of the British army, so they were so happy,

These people did not arouse the suspicion of the British army, because the composition of the British colonialist army is very complicated, there are people of all races, and it is not strange that some yellow-skinned people came, so they were given a rare opportunity.

More than 1,000 troops, suddenly attacked, killing and injuring several people around them in an instant, what a terrifying rhythm,

There are even more ignition grenade bombardments, and a single bullet kills and wounds more than a dozen enemies, dozens of enemies,

The attack of a thousand men killed about three thousand British troops in a matter of minutes, before the British army could react in general.

At this point, even after the war, it was criticized by many foreign people, who thought that the squadron was despicable and did not pay attention to the rules, while the squadron was complacent and happy.

This foreshadowing became one of the most wonderful episodes in the Battle of Guangzhou, and it was also one of the fundamental factors that reversed the battle.

The thousand-strong army not only quickly killed more than 3,000 enemies, but also rushed straight to the core position of the British army, which was their group of standard-bearers, which was where the commander was, so these guys killed all the enemies around them, and rushed there, scrambling, who didn't want to catch the enemy's commander, because there was an order from the top, and those who caught or killed the officers were rewarded according to their ranks, anyway, if they were generals, they would be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver and promoted to the third rank of the third rank,

This army, originally intended to be Qiu Yuancai, was just to disturb the enemy and make the enemy panic, but he didn't expect that this move would actually cause the British army to be defeated.

What if you don't retreat,

This group of very two-way guys went on a rampage, killed all the British troops along the way, and then, pounced on the headquarters of the British army, arrested and beheaded the supreme commander of the British army,

More than thirty officers at the rank of general and colonel, all of them were poked to death, and their stomachs and faces were all the places that the thugs frequented, and the saber was poked as fast as a windmill, Nima, that ruthless heart,

Qiu Yuancai's reinforcements are also very powerful, as the elite of a hundred battles, and there are new weapons, especially one hundred and ten mortars, what kind of army is this, divine soldiers descended from the sky,

Using the mortar bombardment barrage, Qiu Yuancai's army fired a few salvos, and the British troops who were blocking were scattered, nearly a thousand British soldiers burped, and then, they continued to chase and charged the British army, while shooting, that handsome, 24k, pure handsome,

More than 1,000 Chinese British troops, after the battle began, wrapped white scarves around their arms to show the difference, so the artillery of Qiu Yuancai's army bombarded, bombarded, bombarded, so that the nearby British troops could not assemble at all, and gathering in a group was a death.

After twenty minutes of fierce fighting, the British army collapsed,

The battle continued, the British army of 30,000 people had been besieging the city for a long time, exhausted, just in the resistance to the siege, there were more than 5,000 British troops finished, and the British troops who rushed into the city had tens of thousands of people, and they were fighting fiercely, so half of them could be outside the city, no, it was 3,000 people to get started, and the hundreds of people in the command headquarters were finished in an instant, and Qiu Yuancai's artillery shells, with long eyes, kept greeting the heads of the British troops, and the shooting of rifles, because of the magical reload speed, quickly caused three or four thousand casualties to the enemy, Within half an hour of the attack on the British troops outside the city, half of them were killed.

The rest of the British army was more disturbed, and the invincible offensive of the Chinese ** broke the veil of majesty of the British army, and they lost their commander-in-chief again, and in a hurry, they fled in all directions,

Qiu Yuancai's army didn't say a word, led the troops, and kept counterattacking towards Guangzhou City, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, he killed all the British troops in charge of guarding and rushed into the city.

It is said that such a situation, for China, is very good, anyway, Qiu Yuancai's army is the most elite, with a lot of weapons and ammunition, especially an artillery regiment, 100 mortars, shells, whirring and smashing straight on the head of the British army, smashing the British army into disgrace, and there is no place to hide.

The British army had long known the different situation, improved the offensive into defense, turned around, and counterattacked Qiu Yuancai's army.

The counterattack of the British army, under normal circumstances, is just a dying struggle, Qiu Yuan saw the clue, and he didn't say much, just let the officers and soldiers fight again at this point, and save bullets, because, he understands that if he relaxes for a while, these British troops can't bear it, and they may have to surrender without a fight, so much easier.

It's a pity that this is whimsical, because Qiu Yuancai didn't take into account the British determination to fight a decisive battle.

If Qiu Yuancai's army had attacked directly, or the British army would have been defeated a long time ago, but after such a release, the British army held on again.

At this time, the new reinforcements of the British army came again, this time it was more than 10,000 people, although the situation on the battlefield was extremely bloody, many British officers and soldiers thought that the battle had failed, and advocated retreat, but the hesitant British commander found that there were a lot of stragglers in the distance, and only when I asked did I know that they were all defeated and scattered their own people, and then I asked again, I knew that there were more than 10,000 people in the city.

The British reinforcements were not ambiguous, and immediately rushed over, rushed into the city, and copied Qiu Yuancai's back road.

So, Qiu Yuancai's army also caused big trouble, and could only stick near the south gate of the city, while blasting the enemy out of the city with a platoon of artillery, and guarding the city wall and fortress on the other.

Soon, more than 5,000 follow-up reinforcements from the British army arrived, and then, more than 7,000 people of the retreating British army were also intercepted and formed, and they participated in the battle again, so that behind Qiu Yuancai's army, an army of more than 20,000 people appeared.

No matter how powerful the weapons and equipment are, they can't resist the crazy charge of the British army, the British army in the city, knowing that there is hope, is even more desperate, the British army outside the city, eager to retaliate, also fought to the death, fierce battle for half an hour, although they were not able to meet the division, but the elite of Qiu Yuancai's army, killed and wounded many,

The infantry ran out of bullets, the mortar shells were also exhausted, Qiu Yuan could still see the enemy like the tide, flanking on both sides, in a helpless situation, he decisively ordered the troops to be transported towards the city wall, along the city wall, hoping to reduce losses, even those empty mortar barrels that could not be taken away, also discarded, to reduce the pressure,

The British army finally joined forces,

Qiu Yuancai's army has a total of 4,000 people, and has already defeated 1,500, which can be described as heavy losses, but the British army has no good fruit to eat, and the British army that attacked outside the city was beaten so badly by a large number of mortar shells, how many enemies can 2,000 shells be, anyway, more than half of the British troops outside the city lay on the ground,

The British troops in the city also suffered a lot of casualties, and in many places, the corpses of the British soldiers were waist-deep.

According to wartime estimates, the combat effect of Qiu Yuancai's army was extremely huge, and it was estimated that more than 11,000 enemy troops outside the city were killed and wounded, and more than 3,000 enemy troops inside the city were annihilated.
