Chapter 162: Ambush

Yang Banhou led more than 1,500 elites and Li Xiucheng led 2,000 elites to Sanlihuai together.

The two armies marched together towards Half Moon Bay, and had been walking for more than four hours.

Zhang Shu's expression was calm and calm, but there was always a trace of nervousness in his eyes. He looked at the road in front of him and noticed a slope on the road ahead. This slope is in the shape of an eight, which belongs to the inverted figure eight, and the entrance below is narrow, and the further you go, the more spacious it becomes. On either side of the inverted figure-eight slope is a small four-meter-high slope from which the road seems to have been hollowed out.

Walking up the slope, it is flat again.

Zhang Shu took a deep breath, walked to the side of the road, and walked back.

The two armies marched, with the Taiping army led by Zhang Shu walking in front, and the large army led by Adams and Rawell in the rear, one in front and one behind. Zhang Shu walked to the front of the foreigner's team, looked at Rawell, and said in a deep voice: "Commander Rawell, there is a slope ahead, and when you go up the slope, it is a smooth and straight avenue. I'm going to let the army rest in place after going up the slope. After rushing for more than four hours in a row, the soldiers were tired and had to take a breath. ”

Rewell didn't understand and looked at the interpreter who was standing nearby.

After listening to the soldier's translation, Rawell nodded and said, "Yes, rest on the slope." ”

Zhang Shu listened to the words of the foreign soldier's translation, nodded, turned around and walked forward.

Entering the slope of the inverted figure-eight, Zhang Shu shouted: "Speed up, you can rest in place when you go uphill, hurry up." When the words fell, the Taiping soldiers who were striding forward were all running at a faster pace with their guns on their backs.

The sound of hurried and messy footsteps sounded, and the soldiers rushed forward in one go.

Adams shook his head, a smirk in his eyes.

The location where the officers and soldiers are hiding is in Sanlihuai, what is there to hurry.

Rawell was not in a hurry, and slowly led more than 2,000 soldiers into the inverted eight-figure slope, walking up with his hands on his back like a big man. Anyway, if you want to rest on the slope, you don't need to rush this time. Moments later, Lywell and Adams led their soldiers into the Figure-Eight Slope.

Zhang Shu smiled, looked at the foreigner who was still climbing, and shouted: "Ready!" ”

"Smack! Syllable!!! ”

The continuous sound sounded, and the Taiping soldiers jumped into a trench that had been dug long ago, stood in the tunnel, and pointed their guns at the foreigners who were climbing. This inverted eight-figure slope is the ambush location that Li Xiucheng is looking for. Before that, Li Xiucheng wanted to use fire attacks and flooding, but it was spring, and the fire was difficult to burn, and the water could not flood here.

In desperation, Li Xiucheng could only find a place to set up an ambush.

However, Li Xiucheng is also fully prepared, and it is necessary to ensure that Zhang Shu leads the troops in front, otherwise the big hole dug on the slope will be encountered by Adams's people and exposed.

Zhang Shu took the lead in the uphill with the soldiers, and the soldiers occupied the commanding heights and had a geographical advantage.

Moreover, the eight-character slope is an inverted eight-figure, which is easy to enter, and it is more difficult to exit in a swarm. Rawell didn't notice the situation on the hillside, and was still looking at the slopes a few meters high on both sides, admiring the blue sky and white clouds. Adams saw that the soldiers above him were lower, and thought that the Taiping army sat down, and did not delve into the problem.

"Shoot!"

Zhang Shou roared, jumped into the trench and fired.

"Bang! Bang!!! ”

Suddenly, a barrage of gunfire rang out.

Adams and Quell also came from the creeps, and instinctively lay on the ground when they heard the sound. Rao was like this, and Earl's right thigh was shot again, also on the inner thigh, and almost touched the key part. Adams wasn't at the front, so he was lying on the ground, just a little hurt from the fall, but not hurt.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Earl looked surprised and yelled.

Zhang Kill didn't care, he just thought about killing the foreigners on the hillside, and yelled: "Brothers, foreigners slaughter the people, kill my brother, they are all dog mongrels that should be killed." Hit me, hit me hard. ”

Continuous gunfire came and went.

When the bullet was fired, the foreigners immediately became live targets, and they were hit by the bullets one after another.

The burly and tall bodies of the foreigners fell on the slope and rolled down the slope one after another. Dense crowds of foreigners stood in the middle of the slope, and the lower it was getting narrower and narrower, and the further down it went, the more crowded it became.

The crimson blood soon overflowed on the slope, staining the ground red.

Adams looked at the dead soldiers, his eyes were split, and he yelled, "I've been tricked, retreat immediately!" At this moment, Adams regretted it and knew that he had been deceived by Li Xiucheng. This is not a coalition at all, it is deliberately attracted to the coalition soldiers here. Rawell didn't stand up, and lay on his stomach with his hands on the ground, like a toad, and used his hands to prop himself up.

"Ouch"

A retreating British soldier hurriedly stepped on Lawell's calf and stepped on it, although he did not break his bones, but he screamed in pain. He was injured in his right leg and couldn't stand up, and with the bullets flying, Lady didn't dare to stand up.

Adams was too busy to take care of himself, and could only pray that Lady was okay.

"Bang! Bang! ”

Suddenly, soldiers appeared on the small hillside at the entrance to the inverted Bazi slope.

These people shot indiscriminately on the slope, and the retreating foreigners fell in waves. The Taiping army on the hillside was an ambush set by Li Xiucheng a long time ago and had been waiting. Someone shot at the entrance under the inverted eight-figure slope to block the road, and someone on the hillside shot indiscriminately, blocking the foreigner inside and turning it into sandwich biscuits.

Adams watched the waves fall and yelled, "Quick, get out of the slope, get out." ”

The fire of the Taiping army was fierce, and some foreigners had already rushed out.

Adams, surrounded by soldiers, also rushed out.

Rawell was already waiting to be captured with his eyes closed, but he didn't expect a French soldier to carry him and rush out of the slope without danger. However, many of the soldiers were stuck in the slopes and had to be shot. More than 2,000 British and French troops lost more than 600 people in a few minutes, and by the time the coalition soldiers rushed out, most of them had already been killed or wounded, and only about 600 of the 2,000 people remained.

Such a tragic situation made Adams and Lawell mourn.

Zhang Shu seized the opportunity and yelled: "The foreigners are defeated, rush me!" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Shu had already climbed out of the trench with his gun and quickly rushed down the slope. Seeing this, the rest of the Taiping soldiers all launched a charge and began to beat the water dogs. Although these Taiping soldiers were elite, they were originally ordinary people, and it was only under Li Xiucheng's training that they had today's courage and ability. They were furious when they knew that foreigners had slaughtered the people.

This chase is simply a lot of milk.

Adams and Rawell kept fleeing with their soldiers, and Zhang Kill led his troops to chase after them.

At this moment, the coalition soldiers have become the water dogs that everyone shouts and beats. When both sides chased and fled, they did not notice that an army was slowly approaching, surrounding the battleground.

ps: Three more completed; Tomorrow there will be a smaller outbreak on the fourth, and there will be an update in the early morning.
