"Xu Zhi, Wang Yong, I will give you 3,000 men each, tomorrow morning, I will return to Guangzhou with the rest of the soldiers, and then secretly return to the battlefield, you will lead people to ambush the British army halfway, and this battle must completely annihilate the British pursuing troops. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhang Yuanzheng pointed to the map.
Zhang Yuanzheng ordered all the armies to withdraw in batches, and all the Qing troops in Humen at dusk withdrew, and Xu Zhi and Wang Yong, who had withdrawn in the early stage, returned to Humen to hide with the help of night, and Zhang Yuanzheng took the remaining soldiers to slowly retreat.
In the morning, the British army launched an attack, the British commander attacked the Qing army camp, but did not see a Qing army, the British army felt very strange, and immediately sent people to reconnoitre, Zhang Yuanzheng let the follow-up soldiers deliberately show their heads in front of the British army, so as to lure the British army to take the bait.
When the British learned that the Qing army had withdrawn, the British commander was very happy and looked up to the sky and laughed.
"It seems that the Chinese have been frightened away by the military might of our British Empire, and they are really vulnerable." The army was immediately ordered to pursue it.
As everyone knows, they have fallen into a trap, and a huge conspiracy has fallen to the British army. The British army thought that they would be able to grab the silver of Baihuahua by attacking the city of Guangzhou, and desperately pursued it.
After Xu Zhi and Wang Yong got the news, they led the army to ambush the British army on the road that the British army must pass, the scorching sun, the British soldiers marched on the road to Guangzhou, the British army never thought that the Chinese army would ambush them halfway, and they also advanced to Guangzhou leisurely along the way.
"Brothers, the time has come to take revenge, rush, kill." Xu Zhi and Wang Yong rushed towards the British army with their swords, and 6,000 men rushed to both sides of the road and entered the British army's marching ranks.
Although the British were well-armed, the British were not good in close combat, and the British were defeated and retreated, at this time Zhang Yuanzheng led people to chase after him from behind.
The British army ran in front, the Chinese soldiers and civilians chased behind, and the British commander never expected that he would be ambushed, and he was still immersed in victory just now, but he didn't expect that he would lose so badly in the next second.
When the big sword is raised, there will be a head on the ground, and the soldiers of the Qing army have a new inspire, a strong will to fight, and an army with confidence in victory, which is a terrible army.
Zhang Yuanzheng personally led the soldiers to charge, and on the way to kill the enemy, he showed fearless heroism. Zhang Yuanzheng's momentum affected every soldier under his command, and Zhang Yuanzheng forged the iron-blooded soul of this army.
The military soul is the embodiment of an army's will to fight, the fighting belief of an army, and the spiritual embodiment of an army's never-say-die spirit.
An army with a military soul will die even if they will never retreat and never give up.
"Wang Yong, lead people to launch rockets at the British ships, sprinkle oil on the straw boats, and force the British ships back with fire, I will annihilate all the British troops who landed this time." Zhang Yuanzheng said murderously.
There were many British soldiers gathered on the beach, and the British soldiers were demoralized, had no combat effectiveness at all, and only thought about escape.
Zhang Yuanzheng and his soldiers quickly caught up with the remaining British troops, and Zhang Yuanzheng looked up to the sky and roared.
"Brothers, kill me with me." Zhang Yuanzheng directly confronted the commander of the British army and fought with the British commander.
Zhang Yuanzheng and the British commander fought dozens of moves, the commander's physical strength was gradually exhausted, Zhang Yuanzheng rushed over, backhanded a sword, the sword pierced the British commander's chest.
The British army attacking Humen was finally stopped by the Qing army at sea, and a bloody battle ended.
