The unexpected tactics, the unexpected blows, and the most primitive killings that were almost crazy made it difficult for the proud royal sailors to accept for a while, and the originally neat military formation had already become a pot of porridge at this time.

At the head of the city, the general Hu Songlin, the general Qin Ruhu and their subordinates were quietly watching this scene, watching the banner of the Taiping Army on the battlefield like a rainbow, and the triangular flag of the foreigners was crooked, and the foreigners were not so terrible! It seems that it really responds to the words that the Taiping army keeps shouting, "There is no strong enemy in front of the heavenly army!" "Maybe it's an instinct, and they feel a little bit of schadenfreude.

Gilhanga is also watching this scene, under the counterattack of the Taiping army, the foreigners were defeated, which was really unexpected by him, Ma Labazi, together with you, you will rush at us, and when you meet a hard hand, you are also a group of instigated nests.

Stairin was so shameless that from the binoculars, he saw Colonel Jack escape from the range of the Heavenly Army's artillery fire almost in a smoke, which was really a shame for the Queen. He tugged at his collar and yelled at the herald behind him, "Give me orders to Jack, that bastard, if he can't break through the rebels' defenses, tell him to go to God himself!" ”

After speaking, he pointed at Gilhanga angrily, "Your Excellency, why don't your troops go out to contain and distract the rebels?" ”

Gilhanga is almost wronged to death, damn it, didn't you keep telling us to just hold on to the city gates? However, this is also the activity of the heart, and he does not dare to say it. "Your Excellency the Commander is angry, and this officer will immediately order Hu Songlin and them to fight to help you."

Zeng Shuiyuan stood on a high place, and sounded the gong to withdraw the troops in moderation. On the one hand, he ordered the troops to pay attention to guarding against the Qing army leaving the city at the west gate, and on the other hand, he informed the defenders in the south not to think that the foreigners were tofu scum. He understands that foreign soldiers are not Qing troops, and if they are defeated, they have a way to retreat and can run. And behind them are the concessions of various countries, and then the sea, for the sake of these benefits they have obtained, they will definitely spare no effort to fight to the death. The victory in the first battle was only a surprise, and the harder battles were yet to come.

He saw through the telescope that the chaotic British troops began to concentrate again, and the artillery fire rained down on the two trenches where the Celestial Army was stationed, as if only by filling them up could he have a sense of security......

The southern city of Shanghai was now also shrouded in artillery fire from British warships anchored in the Huangpu River. Yi Lu, the head of the British army stationed in Longhua and temporarily in charge of commanding the entire royal fleet, did not die in a hurry when he received a distress letter from Lan Weiwen, the prefect of Songjiang. In order to defend Jiading and Baoshan for the Qing Dynasty, that guy Steyrin was open-mouthed, and insisted on talking nonsense that there were 10,000 royal sailors who could participate in the war. Now, he has changed a large number of sailors on warships to infantry and taken them away, and his own hands are not enough to make up 2,000 men. At this time, we have to take into account the defense on land, and someone has to control the guns on the ship, and if we draw out troops to support Shenjingtang and Sijing, I am afraid that the warships of the entire fleet will become decorations. However, it can't be done if you don't save it, but he learned the skills of these Qing soldiers in Guangzhou back then, once they are defeated, it will be a swarm of bees, and when the time comes, it will be more dangerous for his backyard to catch fire.

After thinking about it, I can only save it. A few hundred soldiers on land could not move, and the number was pitiful, and if the rebels in the city stood out, it would be terrible. Alas, sailors had to be drawn from warships again. The current Commodore Yilu is simply laughing and crying, what kind of battle is this, a fleet of 16 warships, and the only thing that can really play a role is the flagship "Calcutta" and his own ship "Incitement".

In order to ensure the stability of the land camp, after sending a group of soldiers to support Shenjingtang and Sijing, he began to order the artillery bombardment of the fortress at the head of the city, putting on a posture of attacking the city, and creating a false impression for the rebels in the city.

In the city of Shanghai, Liu Lichuan had already received the news that An Wang's army had launched an offensive on the entire periphery. After being trapped in Shanghai for several months, seeing that they were about to join the army, the defenders of Shanghai cheered and cheered from top to bottom, and their morale was high. According to the unified arrangement, while paying close attention to the defense of the northern part of the city, Liu Lichuan instructed Pan Qiliang and Zhou Xiuying, who were stationed in the southern city, to concentrate more than 2,000 soldiers and make a posture of launching a counteroffensive against the British army outside the city in an all-round way to attract the attention of the British army.

Pan Qiliang ordered all artillery fire to return fire on the British ships, and at the same time, he opened the south gate several times and stormed the British camp "ferociously".

The illusion did not confuse the opponent, but Yilu was confused by the opponent. The land camp was in danger several times, and in desperation, he had no choice but to start shrinking the front and concentrate on a few camps outside the south gate. The two sides come and go, killing together.

In Sijing, after just killing the Qing reinforcements coming down from the north, Chen Zongyang had not had time to organize another attack on Zhongsun Fan, and the troops in the direction of Longhua were alerted, so he exchanged fire with the British advance who came to reinforce him. The British firepower was strong, and the alert troops could not resist it, and began to retreat one after another.

The critical moment has arrived. Chen Zongyang urgently summoned a few generals, looked at everyone's faces covered with blood, and listened to their heavy gasps, he smiled, "Brothers, I also know that everyone must be tired, but the foreign devils don't tell us to rest." We now have enemies on three sides, and if we don't defeat all the way, then we will be eaten by them. You say, 'Who's going to hit first?' ”

"Needless to say, my lord, let's fight the foreigners first, I really want to see how many eyes those foreign devils have." A division commander who was half wrapped in a white cloth and had already soaked the white cloth with blood, wiped the sweat and blood on his face, squeezed the only remaining eye, and struggled to dance the big knife in his hand, "It's a hero, it's a hero, I'd rather die before the battle than after the battle!" ”

"Haha, if it's all one eye, then you're comfortable." Another division commander lost no time in making amusement.

"How about it, then gather together first and attack the foreign devils from three sides?"

"Kill, first concentrate on killing all the foreign devils!" The generals shouted in unison.

"Good!" Chen Zongyang looked at these fearless warriors, brushed the ground and drew the saber under his ribs, "If you fight against the water, you will either die or the net will break." Except for a few who were left to resist Zhongsun Fan's possible counterattack, the rest of the soldiers were all with me, spreading a big net, and I must not let a foreign devil go back alive! ”

Zhongsun Fan was very stubborn, he hadn't figured out the subtle changes that were taking place on the battlefield, and he was just on fire for the reinforcements that he had been waiting for for a long time. Therefore, although he did not go out of the camp to fight back against the heavenly army, he ran around in the camp to cheer up and cheer his officers and soldiers, "We have the support of foreigners behind us, don't look at their arrogance now, as long as we hold on a little longer, as soon as the reinforcements from all walks of life arrive, the long hair will become a turtle in the urn." ”

Zhongsun Fan's agitation did bring a lot of hope to the Qing soldiers who were still fighting, so much so that Huang Zaixing commanded the troops to open the gap in the camp from the front several times, but they were counterattacked several times.

"Minister Huang, stop and rest, the brothers are rushing and killing repeatedly, and they are ......extremely tired," the general in charge of leading the troops to charge and kill, pointing to the soldiers who had been defeated again, pleading.

"No way!" Huang Zaixing waved his hand decisively, "Attack, keep attacking, Chen Guitang and they may encounter more pressure, once the bastard Zhongsun Fan is relieved, then Chen Guitang and they will be attacked on their backs." ”

As he spoke, he snatched the golden banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from the flag bearer's hand, and pointed to a company of the communications battalion of the headquarters that followed him and his own guards, "You don't have to follow me, you all go up, as long as you can still stand up, you all come forward to kill me, and I will come last!" ”

Huang Zaixing stood high in the artillery fire fired from the Qing army barracks, and waved the big flag in his hand vigorously, "Brothers, for the sake of the Celestial Empire, advance!" ”
