At 3 p.m. on June 28, 1840, just an hour after the Chinese Empire declared war on the British Empire, the Empire's troops deployed around the world began a military offensive at the same time.

In North America, Fort McClyde is an important fortress located under the east side of the Rocky Mountains by the United Kingdom, and the British deployed about 10,000 troops here, which was not so many, but with the eastward entry of Chinese immigrants into a large area of land west of the Rocky Mountains occupied by China, Fort McCcord became a bridgehead to resist China's eastward advance, and the British army here also increased to 12,000, including an army division recruited from the British mainland, about 6,000 people, and 6,000 Indian servants in North America. The First Division of the Imperial North American Colonial Army led by Major General Xu Jibing was responsible for the attack on Fort McLed, as an army recruited and formed in North America, it greatly exceeded the establishment of the Imperial Regular Army, with a total of about 15,000 (about 13,000 Imperial Standard Field Divisions), and most of the soldiers in the First Division were immigrants from North America, of which the system soldiers were basically non-commissioned officers, and the ratio of system soldiers, immigrants and Native Americans was 1:6:3.

In terms of troops, the 85th Division of the Eleventh Army of the Imperial North American Army has nearly 3,000 more people, although Fort McCloud in Britain is nearly 10 meters high, and the Lingbao has the advantage of a city wall, built by the mountain, and occupies a favorable location, but the imperial ** team not only has the advantage of strength, but also has the advantage of artillery, the first division has a total of 77 light and heavy artillery, including 48 howitzers of 100mm and 70mm caliber, and 29 "mortars". The mortar in this is not a mortar in the later sense, but a 47mm mortar is modified from a gun carriage with wheels to fire a long-tail shell at a large elevation angle, but in any case, this kind of artillery is very effective against killing British troops in the fort.

As the first battle after the declaration of war, the capture of Fort McCaid is the first performance of the Imperial Army, and there is absolutely no room for error, the division commander Xu Jibing personally surveyed the terrain outside the fortress Just when he was thinking about how to break this turtle shell in the command room, the British ** team in the fortress sent a letter to say that they wanted a fair duel, for Xu Jibing, this is a good thing to send to the door, why not agree, as an honor student of the Imperial Army University (system setting), he has studied the current European army and their military thinking, The other party is still in the era of platoon shooting, and the emperor ** team can completely rely on the advantage of rear-loading firing guns to shoot the enemy in the trenches, so Xu Jibing and his first division in North America are not worried about the battle outside the city tomorrow.

At about 8:10 a.m. on 29 June, the British troops marched out of the city and began to line up the battle line.

"These stupid Europeans, whose minds are still stuck in their Napoleonic era, with the widespread application of breech-loading rifles, this tactic has long been outdated. I wanted to use a mortar approved by the General Staff! Xu Jibing watched through the binoculars as the British troops slowly lined up in formation and said sarcastically.

The British began shelling the imperial ** team outside the city, which had been hiding in the trenches, and although the British artillery was insignificant, it also somewhat injured the soldiers in the trenches.

"Artillery do not fire, let a small part of small-caliber artillery carry out fire suppression. The big head is reserved for those crab soldiers in red clothes, "The British soldiers wear red uniforms, and in Xu Jibing's opinion, these are live targets for the red-hot hairy crabs in Chengyang Lake."

"Those stupid and courageless Chinese gophers, do you think that if you hit a hole in the ground, our soldiers of the British Empire will not be able to beat them!" British commander Colonel Richard said indignantly, in his opinion, the squadron did not put out a battle line like him to shoot at his own army is a sign of coward's lack of courage, hiding in the trench like a gopher and has not yet looked at the artillery support of the squadron ** is not vulnerable at all, as long as his army rushes to the trench of the squadron **, it can kill the Chinese like killing the Indians.

"General, the rear of the British army is already within range of our artillery. Do you want to fire a gun? Xu Jibing's adjutant walked up to him and asked.

"Pass my order, wait for the British artillery to stop, let our light and heavy artillery fire for three minutes, and give me a hard shot."

"Yes." The adjutant turned and ran out, because the muskets now have a shorter range and the artillery error is large, so once the British approached the Chinese trenches, their artillery had to stop so as not to injure their own people.

"It's now" As soon as Xu Jibing's words fell, the artillery regiment of the first division opened fire. Most of the British army is equipped with smoothbore guns, a few are equipped with rear-loading firing guns, the range of smoothbore guns is short, even if the technology is mature and improved, but as a colonial division, even if the first division is not the more advanced Type 40, at least the Type 31 rifle produced by the Empire, the range exceeds the range of the British army's smoothbore guns by nearly 100 meters, and the current British army is in a very awkward position, the enemy is hiding in the trench and uses the poor hit rate of the smoothbore gun to hit the head wearing a steel helmet between the sandbags, and the result can be imagined. The enemy's artillery was even more ferocious, with nearly 80 cannons firing indirectly, making it sound like the cannon never stopped.

For a time, the lobster crab was blurred with flesh and blood, and the stumps were all over the ground.

"What about our artillery? Hurry up and press it. Order the battle infantry to move quickly to approach the enemy. Richard yelled at the lieutenant next to him.

"It's the Colonel, I'll go." The adjutant hurriedly ran to the artillery position.

"Nope! I surrender, I want to go home. "The British soldiers on the battlefield have begun to collapse, the cruelty of the battlefield and the weakness of the battle situation have made some of the battle line infantry begin to abandon their weapons and run back, some are throwing down their weapons and kneeling on the ground to pray for God's blessing, and the only ones who are still advancing are the Indian servant army, although their weapons and equipment are inferior to the British army.

"Colonel, the soldiers are starting to break down, what to do? The firepower of the other side is too strong. The adjutant said to Colonel Richard.

"Let the soldiers charge, rush over and fight with a hand-to-hand fight."

"Yes."

As the British approached the trenches quickly, the artillery attack could only extend to the rear of the enemy, and the soldiers in the trenches gradually felt the pressure, and although they were protected by trenches and steel helmets, the casualties began to increase.

At about 9 a.m., the British troops rushed into the trenches and engaged the 1st Division in a hand-to-hand battle, which dispersed the forces due to Xu Jibing's two-tier defensive line.

"Quickly let the soldiers on the second line support the first line, and let the pistol team come up." In order to ensure victory in the white-knuckle battle, Xu Jibing specially organized a pistol team equipped with revolvers.

With the addition of the pistol team and second-line soldiers, the British casualties on the first line of defense increased.

"Colonel, what should I do?" The adjutant looked into the binoculars and asked Richard, "We lost!" Damn Chinese marmots, shrink our forces, and we return to the fortress. That's all there is to it. Richard said with an indignant look on his face.

At 11 p.m. on 29 June, the three-hour Battle of Fort McClyde ended in a crushing defeat for the British. The Imperial ** team annihilated about 9,000 British troops by virtue of the superiority of weapons, artillery and tactical thinking, and the Imperial ** team had less than 200 casualties due to the protection of trenches and steel helmets, all of which were casualties caused by British artillery fire and hand-to-hand combat. Another about 400 British prisoners were taken on the battlefield. Fewer than 2,000 British troops fled back to the fort.

Then, on the afternoon of the second day after Xu Jibing ordered the shelling of Fort McLed, the British commander, Colonel Richard, hoisted the white flag with the rest of the British troops.
