The army suffered heavy losses, coupled with the aggravation of corruption in various parts of the Qing Dynasty in recent years, the armament was lax, there were many people who were paid empty salaries, and most of the soldiers in each army were short. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Faced with the situation of the shortage of soldiers and major generals in the army, Chen Rulin had to be employed, and some of the officials who had been removed from their posts were personally received by the Qincha in the yamen of Guangzhou Prefecture.

"Suzhi, you also know the current situation, the previous decision to remove you from office was cancelled, and this official hopes that you can make persistent efforts, don't complain about the court, and resolutely resist the attack of the British."

"My lord, please rest assured, I will immediately go to straighten out the soldiers and horses." Zhang Yuanzheng looked at Qin Cha and said. Zhang Yuanzheng looked at Lord Qincha and thought in his heart, how should this battle be fought now if there are no soldiers.

Zhang Yuanzheng took over the military power of the Guangzhou Prefecture and immediately sounded the drums to gather the generals and check the losses of the soldiers. After some investigation, it was found that the situation was even worse than he thought, and the armies suffered heavy losses, with more than half of their troops reduced. Weapons and equipment were basically completely lost.

Zhang Yuanzheng hurriedly reported the situation to the Qincha and requested that the equipment of the various armies be replenished as soon as possible.

"Wang Yong, how is the loss of the patrol battalion." Zhang Yuanzheng turned to look at Wang Yong and Xu Zhi in front of him and asked.

"My lord, our patrol battalion has charged forward every time, and the losses have been extremely heavy, and two-thirds of the soldiers have died." Wang Yong cried as he spoke

"My lord, don't you know, this battle was really bad, the brothers were killed by their foreign guns before they rushed to the British, what a bag, watching the brothers fall one by one."

"How did Qi Shan command this waste, bastard." Zhang Yuanzheng slammed the table in front of him.

"Wang Yong, I will give you 2,000 people, plus the 500 people of the original patrol battalion, you immediately rush to Humen to strengthen the defense, and before I give any order, guard Humen for me." Zhang Yuanzheng tapped on the map.

"Yes, promise not to let a single British soldier pass through Humen." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Xu Zhi, step up recruitment, immediately strengthen training, and change weapons." Zhang Yuanzheng said to Xu Zhi.

In order to strengthen the defense, Zhang Yuanzheng mobilized the people of the whole city to participate in the battle, and the whole city of Guangzhou was a soldier, and the city wall and many abandoned forts were renovated.

Qi Shan lost the battle before, and he has been removed, and now if he loses, he will have to get rid of the old bag, and Qin Cha has to do his best.

In the past few days, a new scene has appeared in Guangzhou, Zhang Yuanzheng led a group of soldiers to run around the city wall, and the barracks shouted and killed.

"Suzhi, the army runs around the city wall every day, which is not good." Lord Qincha said to Zhang Yuanzheng.

"My lord, this will not only strengthen the training of the soldiers, but also strengthen the belief that the soldiers and the people will win. It can also serve as a deterrent to some people and spies in the city who have taken refuge with the British. Zhang Yuanzheng took a sip of tea with a calm face.

Seeing that the army was so trained, the people in the city had great confidence in the imperial court to be able to hold Canton.

Wang Yong took the soldiers to fight hard with the British army in Humen, and came to report today, the army suffered heavy losses, asked for support, and after discussion, it was decided to send troops to reinforce Humen on the same day, and the British army fought a decisive battle in Humen, blocking the British army in Humen, and preventing the British army from taking a step forward.
