However, at this moment, Lin Haijiang had already filled in the well in the headquarters of the big camp and left an empty city for the British!

Soon, the British ran out of the British Concession in a four-way column according to their previous expectations, and the neat pace and short password made Lin Haijiang's brows wrinkle slightly, it is obvious that the quality of these British Army is quite high, but this is not the most elite unit of the British Empire, but tonight, even the British Empire's ace army, which has experienced the baptism of the Crimean War, must let these Western horse monkeys who do not know the height of the sky know that they know how powerful they are.

Immediately after the encirclement was completed in a half-moon formation, the British launched twenty twelve-pounder Armstrong guns, and about a thousand infantry marched slowly in five formations to the sound of a military band.

Major General Reis and Colonel Witt raised their binoculars from time to time, and the dark clouds covered the moon at the moment, and the light looked very bad, but Major General Reis still raised the telescope frequently, and Colonel Werther on the side didn't know what his top boss was looking at. Or what can be seen?

The actions of Major General Reis and Colonel Werther made Ergin, who had no binoculars on the side, scratch his ears and cheeks in a hurry, like a monkey that has not received a share of fruit, and Colonel Werther handed his telescope to Ergin, who immediately smiled with gratitude to Colonel Werther.

But Ergin, who looked left and right and realized that he could not see anything, looked at Colonel Werther and Major General Reis in confusion, thinking that they were just pretending?

Lin Haijiang, who was standing on the tower mountain, could see it clearly, Major General Reis was like a luminous body against the background of the torches, Lin Haijiang really couldn't understand why these stupid and stupid Britons attached importance to those medals that were almost broken copper and iron?

As if you're afraid that the other party won't recognize their identity? In terms of mobilization before the war, Lin Haijiang had already issued a strict order to minimize the casualties of the British, especially the officers, and to minimize the casualties of the enemy was the ultimate goal of this campaign.

Xu Dawei, Liu Quansi, Zhang Zheng, and Gao Qi don't quite understand the intentions of the Admiral? Even Wang Faren doesn't know much, maybe, probably, maybe it has something to do with the ransom, right? What exactly is going on, Wang Faren is not clear.

Many people don't understand, with the Lin family on the rich side as the backing, and the support of the boss of the Thirteen Lines Shen, how could Lin Haijiang, who is the admiral of the Guangdong Navy, be short of money? In fact, Lin Haijiang is very rich, and it can even be said that he is rich enough to rival the country, but he has the largest ironclad fleet in Asia and 7,000 marines to support, the infrastructure of the old port to build, and the largest dock in Asia to expand, so he urgently needs money wherever he is.

Lin Haijiang himself is an authentic god of wealth, often taking his powerful subordinates to the governor's palace to eat and drink, Lin Haijiang does not drink the blood of soldiers, and he also pays out of his own pocket to supplement his subordinates, for such a rare general, Ye Mingchen also has to take a high look.

Soon, the 300 commandos commanded by Wang Faren exchanged fire with the attacking troops of the British army, and after several rounds of volleys, the hundreds of people led by Wang Faren immediately abandoned their armor and fled in embarrassment, and no one even closed the gate in a panic.

Major General Reis, who grasped the fighter plane in time, immediately threw himself into the left and right teams, intending to quickly attack and take down the Guangdong Navy Division camp in one fell swoop to eliminate the remnants of the enemy.

Colonel Werther, who was very worried before, sighed helplessly: "Could this be the soldier of their strongest Guangdong Naval Division?" Will their numbers be too small? ”

Ergin got carried away and laughed: "Dear Werther, you don't know the Qing Kingdom, their army is very corrupt, their officers are stripping their salaries, a force with a strength of thousands often only a dozen people, if there is a war, their officers will take out the silver to temporarily recruit soldiers. ”

Colonel Witt sighed helplessly and said, "This is not a war at all, how can such a war be awarded?" ”

Major General Reis glanced at Colonel Werther's back, and the words that had been ridiculed came to his lips and swallowed back, because Major General Reis saw the adjutant Rothbaer on a white horse.

Rothbio gave a neat military salute on his horse and said, "Your Excellency, the enemy has escaped into a tunnel, and Major Gaiss asked me to ask if I want to enter the tunnel to pursue?" ”

"No need! You have behaved very bravely, and tonight you have defeated 20,000 whipped barbarians! I will ask the Empress for the Honour. Major General Reis waved his whip in style.

After Lin Haijiang saw the British advancing with the whole army, he took a deep breath and said: "Order the artillery to fire according to the predetermined ruler, and order Gao Qi's department, Zhang Zheng's department, Liu Quansi's department, and Xu Dawei's department to attack and encircle." ”

Boom, boom! With a violent explosion, Major General Les felt that his eyes were dark, and he was knocked to the ground by the air wave, and the war horse that sat down let out a mournful roar!

The adjutant Rothbio, who had been riding his horse in a hurry, was hit by a cannonball, and was instantly blown apart, and blood splattered Major General Reis and Colonel Werther!

Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Colonel Witte desperately kept the troops on the march, and he had discovered that the enemy artillery fire was coming from above Tower Hill? But Colonel Witt clearly remembered that he sent an infantry squadron of more than a hundred people to occupy there?

What went wrong? Colonel Werther's head is a mess inside?

Colonel Witte had just given the order for the artillery to turn the fire around, and torches began to light up in the distance all around? Then there was a dense burst of shooting.

Although the distance between the other side was too far away, and it was dark night, only a few non-commissioned officers with torches and nearby soldiers were shot and fell to the ground.

"The troops entered the camp and defended on the spot!" Colonel Werther's order sent thousands of British troops in droves, and as they entered the siege, there was a stampede, and a dozen of the British wounded became unlucky.

Looking at the British troops entering the besieged city, Lin Haijiang smiled slightly and said to Wang Dongxu, the adjutant behind him: "I'll go back and rest, and I won't see anyone in five days!" ”

With the arrival of Liu Quansi, Zhang Zheng, and Gao Qi's troops, the number of sailors participating in the siege has reached 24 battalions, and it can be said that the entire siege has been encircled.

Twenty twelve-pounder Armstrong guns brought by Major General Reis were neatly lined up on the fortified positions, boxes of shells and cartridges like the arrogant Britons who had mocked them.

After dawn, as the morning mist lifted, the British soldiers were surprised to find that they had been encircled, but the British soldiers did not panic, because they were equipped with the most advanced rifles after the Crimean War, and last night they were panicked because of the sudden shelling and the fear of being involved in hand-to-hand combat in the chaos of the night.

Now the sun has risen, and the British have once again regained their pride.

Under the command of Xu Dawei and others, the soldiers of the sailor division began to dig trenches hard, and Colonel Werther, who was in the siege, was shocked when he saw this scene, and hurriedly found Major General Reis and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, the barbarians intend to besiege us? ”

Major General Reis was washing his face and changing clothes with the assistance of the servants, and he waved his hand very casually: "Use your Enfis rifle to disperse them, can't the rifle that once beat the Russians deal with a group of barbarians?" ”

Colonel Witt took a deep breath, gave a military salute and left, knowing that it was useless to talk too much at this moment!

After a while, the gates of the siege opened, and about a thousand British soldiers swarmed out, and then quickly formed a line, and a military band of more than 100 people began to form a team.

Liu Quansi looked at the British army, who was still on the verge of rifle range, and took a Mauser Type 1855 rifle from the hand of a general manager under him, and aimed and fired!

Touch! The faint smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the sound of gunfire echoed around the siege for a long time.

Colonel Witt was extremely surprised to find that the commander of his marching band had fallen down without any symptoms, and blood immediately gushed out of his head, and the marching band was immediately thrown into chaos!

Is this a demonstration or a provocation? Colonel Witt had already visually learned that the range of the opponent's rifle far exceeded that of the Enfis rifle he was equipping, should this damn attack be launched?

Looking at the already timid soldiers and officers behind him, Colonel Witt waved his hand helplessly: "Retreat!" Fortify your defenses! ”

Colonel Werther didn't say anything about the retreat of Major General Reis, he saw the scene just now, if he insisted on continuing to attack, I am afraid that his soldiers would become the target of those barbarians, but where did the barbarians get those weapons made him very unbelievable?

Ergin, who had been standing behind Major General Reis, saw that the atmosphere was heavy, so he said: "According to my understanding of the Qing people! ”

As soon as Ergin opened his mouth, Major General Reis suddenly turned around and glared at him and yelled angrily: "According to your fart, do you diplomats think about problems with your ass?" Can you show me how many [***] teams there are outside? They have rifles that are farther than ours, can you tell me why? ”

Major General Reis's roar made Ergin rub his hands awkwardly and retreat to the side, and Major General Reis stomped back and forth a few times before snorting coldly: "After dark, each launched a surprise attack from behind the main gate, covering a few soldiers to quietly go out and return to the concession to report to His Excellency Bao Ling, hoping that he can have a way." ”

Because they were lightly armed, the British soldiers carried almost no supplies, including water, and did not feel thirsty when they were nervous, but once they relaxed, their physiological needs immediately followed.

The only part of the water he carried was bathed by Major General Reis, and now only the officers could get a little water to moisten their lips, but Major General Reis did not dare to give the officers water openly, because the angry flames leaking from thousands of pairs of eyes were enough to burn him to ashes.

The four wells in the siege have been deliberately filled, and when they are dug to a certain depth, they become stinking and roaring, and the soldiers who dig the wells are all fainted, and after the whole siege, everything and even the trees have been cut down, which is obviously a trap prepared in advance.

At midnight, Colonel Witte patted Lieutenant Robert on the shoulder and said, "After you slide down the back wall, shoot to attract the attention of the other side, and when the troops at the main gate are withdrawn, you can surrender, don't put up too much resistance, it will endanger your lives." ”

Lieutenant Robert nodded with a depressed expression, Colonel Werther couldn't do anything about it, 27 lieutenant officers drew lots, and Robert won the jackpot in the first draw, who can blame that? When playing cards, almost all opponents call him Robert the Lucky.

The farce planned by the British did not end until the second half of the night, and both sides tacitly raised their guns five inches upwards and opened fire, and the British considered that they were afraid of causing heavy casualties to Lin Haijiang's troops, and Lin Haijiang's madman slaughtered them all with a single artillery fire, and there was no place to cry at that time.

On the side of the Nanyang Naval Division, every Englishman is a sum of silver, and if one is killed, one will be less, so try to kill as few as possible.

The most powerful of the operation was the hundred soldiers led by Lieutenant Robert, who, after sliding down the rope from the back wall, took off their uniforms and scattered, and saw Colonel Werther standing in the siege gun emplacement.

When the patrolling soldiers bravely captured more than 100 foreign devils who claimed to be businessmen wearing only pants, the officers and soldiers of the patrol escorted these people to the commander's tent, but at the moment Lin Haijiang was still in hiding, and only Liu Quansi was on duty here.

Liu Quansi was also the first time he had seen people who were almost bare-bottomed in business, although he knew the identities of these Britons very well, but he still smiled and made fun of these Brits, and after having enough, he selected an officer who could speak Chinese and asked him to go back and report the news.

However, Liu Quansi stripped Robert of all the essence and gave Robert a British flag, and asked him to cover his shame in order to avenge the revenge of the British for wiping leather boots with the dragon flag of the Guangdong Navy Patrol Boat.

When Bao Ling received Robert's call for help, he froze in place for a few minutes, preferring to believe that this was an April Fool's joke that Major General Reis was playing with him.

But isn't it April Fool's Day? And Robert doesn't have to cross the entire concession with his bare ass to report to himself, what should he do? At the moment, there were only 200 soldiers and dozens of policemen in the concession, and there were more than 100 shivering Indian Ahsan.

The 5,000 armies are surrounded, what can they do to relieve the siege? Major General Reis, this stupid man, Ergin, this stupid pig! Bao Ling's head slammed, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

When Bao Ling was woken up by the doctor, under the stimulation of the pungent Modo potion, Bao Ling's thinking was slightly clearer, so Bao Ling hurriedly ordered: "Prepare the carriage, I want to see Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang!" ”

At this moment, Ye Mingchen was listening to the play with Bai Gui, and the smiling two of them crossed Erlang's legs, beating the beat and following Hua Dan on the stage humming Dingjun Mountain! For such an all-female team that sells dog meat on the head of a sheep, Ye Mingchen was originally quite resistant, but now he can accept it happily.

Two hours ago, Lin Haijiang sent someone to report on the situation of the battle in the direction of the big camp, and when he heard that 5,000 Yingyi had been wrapped in dumplings, Ye Mingchen and Bai Gui immediately laughed, even if they lost their official positions, they didn't care.

Baigui himself is a clear stream, but his clear stream is not clear at all, now the silver is of course, and the career is basically at the top, to be able to make a good name for himself before the succession, it is the most important thing for Baigui, after all, his three sons are still working the road to official careers.

The only advantage of Qingliu is that he will put on a moral coat for himself, if Qingliu is really poor, will anyone have a sharp head to become an official? Everyone understands this, but they are just pretending to be confused.

Bai Gui wished that Master Xianfeng had removed him from his post! Since Jiaqing Ye, the Great Qing Kingdom has never won a battle with the outside world, and this time it is effortless to surround his elite troops of 5,000 English, such a great achievement is really amazing!

But after a while, a Goshha trotted over quickly, and said a thousand times in front of Ye Mingchen and Bai Gui: "Report to the Governor, the Governor, and the Prime Minister of the Foreign Minister to ask for a meeting!" ”

Ye Mingchen waved his hand and said, "Tell him that the old man is not here!" ”

After Goshha left, Bai Gui hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't you see?" ”

Ye Mingchen smiled and said: "Lin Haijiang and I talked to me some time ago, this British country wants to fight, it has to be studied and passed by some Congress, the empress declares war, in the future of the transfer of troops, let's talk about more than a year's work, don't be scared by him, you forgot when we asked to see them before?" Behind closed doors, you're afraid your brother hasn't eaten less, right? ”

Bai Gui's old face turned red, and his nose snorted: "These so rude, righteous and shameless foreign hairers, they still call themselves civilized people? Their so-called civilization is to put on clothes and have a fig leaf? It's too far away from our brilliant thousands of years. ”

Ye Mingchen smiled and said, "If you let Lin Haijiang's rabbit cub give you a dirty look at this matter, I guarantee that you will be happy!" ”

At this time, Goshha returned and said: "Lord Qiqi, that Bao Ling said that if he can't see you today, he will go to the court!" Let's go into vain. ”

"Fuck it!" Ye Mingchen slapped the table violently, startling Goshha in front of him, Ye Mingchen paced back and forth: "What they say is what?" They fight whenever they want? Stop if you want to? Want to delay the army again? Phew! ”

"Say I'm not at home, and I won't see anyone today!" Ye Mingchen waved his hand, and Goshha trotted all the way to the well gate of the garden.

This Goshha rushed to the main gate, and before he could catch his breath, he shouted to Bao Ling outside the gate: "My lord said that he is not at home, and he will not see anyone today!" ”

Bao Ling can't figure it out now, is this Ye Mingchen there? This Chinese language is really complicated, Bao Ling regretted a little that he was in a hurry, and he forgot to bring an interpreter, but Ye Mingchen was not afraid of his threat, he met for the first time when he arrived, in the past, as soon as he said that he was going to play their court, the officials of the Qing State were so frightened that they were not possessed, what is going on today?
