With the help of the cover of dense fog, the heavenly armies in Qingpu, Xueshan, Tianma Mountain and other places, under the unified command of Huang Zaixing, defended the junction of the large battalions by the Qing army in Shenjingtang and Sijing, and broke through the defense line of the Qing army in one fell swoop. From behind, the troops who coordinated the frontal feint began to storm the Qing army camps in Sijing.
Zhejiang's alternate Tongzhi Zhongsun Fan hurriedly responded to the battle, unable to take care of each other, and several camps were lost one after another, so they had to gather men and horses to stick to the main camp and fight the trapped beasts. On the other hand, he sent people to break out of the encirclement several times and asked for help from Lan Weiwen, the prefect of Songjiang who was stationed in Shenjingtang.
Lan Weiwen, the prefect of Songjiang, is also worried about herself. Several of his companies and battalions were also suffering from the blows of the Taiping army, and he could not understand where so many Taiping troops suddenly appeared, and almost every battalion shouted that they were being attacked, and urgently asked for reinforcements. He knew too well the combat effectiveness of the thousands of villagers under his command, and in the face of the Taiping Army, which had been on the battlefield for three years and could fight habitually, he would not be an opponent at all.
Just as he was making up for everything, like an ant on a hot pot, the annoying mist finally dissipated, and Lan Weiwen realized that there were only a few Taiping army bluffs in front of him. What made him laugh and cry even more was that even so, there were still a few villagers in the camp who abandoned the camp in panic and fled. He had no choice but to start organizing a counteroffensive again.
With the newly captured camp, hundreds of Taiping soldiers were like nails firmly planted in his heart, and he couldn't pull them out if he wanted to. At this time, he received Zhongsun Fan's call for help again, Lan Weiwen couldn't help it, he knew that if Zhongsun Fan collapsed, then the next thing should be himself. On the one hand, he sent people to Pegasus to rush to Longhua to ask for help from the British army who took over his defensive line, and on the other hand, he temporarily besieged the Taiping army occupying several camps, and at the same time urgently dispatched more than 1,000 villagers to rush to Sijing.
Chen Zongyang, who attacked Zhongsun Fan's camp, had been guarding against this hand for a long time, encircling the point to send reinforcements, and now it is the best trick of the Heavenly Army. As soon as Xiang Yong, who came out of Shenjingtang, approached Sijing, he was blocked by the heavenly army that was waiting for him......
As soon as the fog dispersed, under the city of Jiading, the golden banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom covered the sky and closed the sun, and dozens of large and small camps stood one after another. With Zeng Shuiyuan's order, more than 100 foreign cannons roared in unison and began to bombard Jiading Xiguan.
The commander of the Chinese fleet of the British Royal Navy, Stairlin, who was personally sitting in Jiading, looked at the city drowning in the smoke of gunfire from a distance, and shrugged his shoulders, "Your Excellency, order your subordinates to hold the city gate and attract them, and the heroic Royal Navy soldiers will give them a fatal blow from the flanks." ”
"Alas, this qiē can only be blamed on that Mr. Kim Nengheng, without his ship of munitions, Long Hair would not be so arrogant." Gilhanga sighed angrily.
Shi Tailin smiled slightly, his two hands wearing snow-white gloves intertwined, and he fiddled with it a few times, "Your Excellency, having a weapon may not be easy to use. As he spoke, he turned to look at a Royal Navy Colonel in front of him, "Colonel Jack, it's time for you and your sailors to teach them." ”
Jack smiled proudly, and his right hand, also wearing snow-white gloves, stretched out two fingers and gestured in his ear, "Your Excellency, Commander, I will tell them what the real army is." ”
"Yes, kill, General Jack, you must kill these shameless long-haired rebels fiercely!" Even after listening to the translation, Gilhanga didn't understand the difference between "colonel" and "general", and still called Colonel Jack General Jack in passing. In his opinion, it is better to call the general the commander of the army, what is "laughing (colonel)" is a bit nondescript, what is "laughing"? Do you have to "laugh"?
Stylin watched Jack leave, and then looked at Gilhanga, who was indignant and smiling for a while, and he was always a little puzzled. Before coming to this ancient eastern country, he had always heard that this was a country with a long history of civilization, but from the moment he set foot on this land, he felt otherwise. It is closed and backward, and in the midst of blind arrogance, it lacks due arrogance, and civilization cannot be talked about, and most of it is on the lips. He was mindful of it, and the most interesting thing was that they always seemed to have something new to say. "Long hair", hehe, since it came from the mouth of His Excellency the Inspector in front of him, this must also be a curse word. Why are the rebels called "long-haired"? Could it be because they have long hair? No, this is not a short braid. If one day you have leisure and can collect all the curse words in this country, you will call it the "Oriental Curse Sacred Book", and it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world.
"It's a hero, it's a hero, swords and guns are against Yangyi, and my brothers don't kill each other!"
"Good boy, good boy, fight foreign wolves!"
"It's me Chinese, quit Jiading City, and help the Heavenly Army restore the glory of my Heavenly Dynasty!"
"I'd rather be a big Han ghost than learn to be a foreign dog!"
……
The cannon fire was intermittent, and the Celestial Army did not immediately attack the city, but shouted one after another from thousands of throats.
It was in this burst of singing and shouting that Colonel Jack's royal sailors left the south gate of Jiading. Three thousand royal sailors lined up in a phalanx, accompanied by snare drums, marching neatly towards the camp of the heavenly army.
The small barracks that came out of the front quickly fell under the heavy artillery fire of the British army and the rain of bullets in rows, and the soldiers of the Celestial Army in the barracks retreated in a "hurry".
Colonel Jack's saber stood straight on his chest, as if he were being inspected by the Queen, and under the cover of powerful artillery fire behind him, he led his sailors forward.
Fifty meters, forty meters, thirty meters...... Jack watched for another group of rebel camps that were approaching, and as long as he got a little closer, he could get close to the rebel main force by crossing the two earthworm-like trenches in front of him. He looked back at the neat queue behind him, and the majestic sailors, and suddenly, he thought of what the Chinese official had called him just now, "General Jack", hehe, when the battle in Shanghai is over, maybe he can really become a real general as he said.
There were still twenty meters to the edge of the ditch, and he wondered why the rebel camp in front of him had been flooded by his own artillery fire, so why had the other party not fought back? He subconsciously straightened his neckline with his left hand that pressed the scabbard, and was about to cross the ditch.
"Boom ......" The artillery of the Celestial Army, which had been silent, finally spoke. Shells, with hatred and roar, flew straight into the array of British sailors. At the same time, the originally peaceful trench suddenly appeared, and the red turbans were connected in series, like a wall of fire. The real wall of fire is the flames that erupt from the muzzles of their guns.
With a dense burst of gunfire, the royal sailors fell in pieces.
In the end, it was an old soldier, although he was at the front of the queue, and when he suddenly heard the sound of the opponent's artillery fire, Colonel Jack, who was arranging his neckline, swooped to the ground, followed by a few agile rolls. He really had to thank God Almighty, if their British rifles could be fired continuously, he himself believed that there would be no chance to stand up again.
"Killing ......" rows of soldiers of the Celestial Army waved their broadswords and spears, jumped out of the trenches, and broke into the formation of the British army like a violent wind, and hand-to-hand combat began......
