To the surprise of the Chinese army, the French army took advantage of the darkness of the night to launch a surprise attack.

Not only that, but the French army also used a new method of mine-clearing, in which three soldiers in groups and seven or eight groups in a platoon, each with a long improvised blasting canister, rushed up and threw it at the minefield, and after a rumble, a minefield was cleared. Advancing in three or four directions together, the speed was fast and simple, and in an instant, it had already advanced more than a hundred meters to the top of the mountain.

Su Yuanchun, who came in a hurry, couldn't imagine that the enemy still had such tactics, and ordered his subordinates to fire and block it with all their might, but the French army was stubbornly withstanding the firepower, advancing with layers of minesweeping, and after a while, the French army had advanced to 400 meters from the top of the mountain, and the defenders on the top of the mountain were already visible, but at this moment, the blaster was used up, but the mines had not been swept away!

Commander Laguer was so depressed that he was about to rush to the front of the position, but the blaster was gone. But Laguer knew that no mines would be planted near the fortifications to avoid accidental damage from fragments, so he should have reached the edge of the minefield by now. He waved the officer's sword in his hand and shouted: "It's now, warriors of France, long live the honor!" Then they first rushed to the top of the mountain at high speed, and the soldiers behind also shouted and rushed up together.

Su Yuanchun stood in the fortifications and looked below, in the black night, the French army surged up like a large black beetle, and he immediately shouted: "Quick, hurry up and open the cannon!" ＂

Laguel rushed to the front, a jump, felt a trip on the instep, as if hooked something, a flash in his mind, knew that the hook was thunder, did not stop at all, almost instinctively leaped forward, only to feel the fire behind the flash, "boom", followed by the soldier immediately came a scream. In the flickering of the light and shadow of the explosion smoke, Lagaier straddled forward with a long leg, like a vigorous antelope, full of the momentary dynamic, before he could rejoice, his feet fell slightly, at this time the remaining strength was exhausted, the new force was not born, he just wanted to fly forward, and there was a "boom", he only felt that his whole person was light, and he rose into the air, and there was only one thought in his heart: it was broken!

Almost at the same time as Laguer was blown away, a row of small-caliber shells whistled from the Chinese position, and it was the 24 Grusen guns of those two artillery batteries that finally began to exert their might, and the continuous bombardment immediately weaved a layer of fire on the hillside, just in time to meet the French troops who had just broken out of the minefield, and the flashes of mines and shells that exploded constantly illuminated the hillside as bright as day.

At the concealed command post of the French army in the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, Nigri saw through the telescope that his subordinates were hit by artillery and mines, and his heart was full of resentment towards Frey.

But in any case, having already killed in front of the opponent's position, it was really demoralizing to retreat, and he immediately ordered Major Corona to lead a regiment to reinforce the mountain, and make sure to break through the enemy line in one fell swoop.

Before Su Yuanchun could catch a breath here, there was a whistling sound of "woo" from the bottom of the mountain, and he flew straight over, Su Yuanchun knew from experience that it was the cannonball approaching rapidly, and he shouted, "Lie down!" At the same time, he threw himself to the side, only to hear a loud noise in his ears, he only felt a buzzing in his eardrums, and suddenly shijie seemed to become very quiet, and he seemed to lose consciousness in a trance, and he was confused for a while. Maybe it was a long time, maybe it was just a moment, Su Yuanchun came back to his senses again, and slowly rerealized that he was on the battlefield, he struggled to sit up, only to feel sore, his head was dizzy, he pulled the rubble next to him, straightened his waist, and found that the dust in front of him was flying, and he was gray, looking down at his body, fortunately, his arms and legs were still complete, and his head and hands were full of blood, and then he remembered that the enemy shells flew just now.

He looked around, and all the attachés who had been with him just now were already in disarray, lying in the rubble, and then he realized that a French heavy artillery shot had smashed right in his place, and he miraculously survived, but the others were not so lucky.

Su Yuanchun stumbled out of the half-collapsed fortification, and at this time, an officer happened to run towards him, as if he was reporting something to him, but Su Yuanchun only saw the other party's lips moving, but he couldn't hear anything, he was a little stupid: I won't be deaf by the explosion, right? As soon as I thought of this, I felt a tendon in my ear, but the sound appeared, and immediately a noisy and chaotic sound came in, the sound of gunfire and shouts, the sound of which entered my ears. He was relieved: fortunately, he was not deaf.

Only then did I hear the officer's shout: "General, general, did you hear me?" The enemy is rushing again! Do you hear that? ＂

Su Yuanchun waved his hand: "Lao Tzu heard it!" What's the matter, Lao Tzu is not deaf. Quick, pass my order, let all the people in the tunnel come out, it's too late! ＂

At this time, on the front of the hillside, more than 2,000 French troops, like a dense colony of ants, poured into the fortifications like a tide in the thick smoke, fighting to the death against the Chinese defenders. Su Yuanchun waved the short knife in his hand and immediately commanded the troops to meet the battle.

Su Yuanchun has always been angry about his demotion and always thinking about making great contributions to his name, the battle of Beining, although he fought bravely, but he was not brilliant, this time he was stationed in Daqingshan Fort, that was to fight for his life.

He commanded his guards to rush forward, boosting their morale and stabilizing the defensive line, which was already beginning to waver, when the three battalions that rushed out of the tunnel joined the battle, and the scene became a stalemate.

In the scuffle, Su Yuanchun shouted for an officer to go to the camp in Zhennanguan to ask for help, and the officer agreed, but he didn't turn around, "Wow."

A flurry of gunfire rang out, and the officer and a group of people around him immediately fell in response. Su Yuanchun turned his eyes and stared, only to see a group of French soldiers rushing over from the side, running and loading their rifles at the same time, only ten meters away from him!

Su Yuanchun saw that a large force of French troops rushed over without knowing how, the guards around him were killed and wounded innumerably, and the backup could not catch up for a while.

In view of the bravery of the French army in close combat, the Chinese army will have some cold weapons that have been discarded, and then equip the troops after re-selection, of course, each unit has different preferences and choices. For example, Wang Debang's subordinates organized a team of red tasseled spears, and Su Yuanchun has been proficient in martial arts since he was a child, and he is good at using a simple knife, and his troops are naturally equipped with a large number of simple knives.

The so-called simple knife, there are long and short, the short one is more than one meter, can be tied to the waist of the trousers, also known as the trouser knife. The long ones can be several meters long, similar in length to broadswords, but the blades are long, lightweight, and more flexible than broadswords. The so-called "single knife to see the hand, double knife to see the hand, big knife to see the hand", because the single knife has one hand empty, to see the cooperation of the empty hand. The double knife depends on the movement of the foot, whether it is flexible and fast. The Pu knife depends on whether the blade on the back of the knife is converted as desired, natural and smooth.

The knives in Su Yuanchun's troops are all nearly three meters long, and he himself has been practicing them since he was a child. A simple knife is unfolded, it is really a knife like a tiger, a person is like a whirlwind, chopping, stabbing, chopping, cutting, and the back blade is clear.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, Su Yuanchun waved the long pu knife in his hand, danced like the wind, and with a tiger leap, he rushed towards the French army. At this time, the weakness of the French "Grass" rifle was fully revealed, that is, there was no magazine, and the loading was very slow, because it itself was improved from the "Chaspo" 1866 rifle, and naturally inherited the problem of slow reloading, so the French army could only stand up for the spear and fight.

But this time they ran into a wrong opponent, Su Yuanchun's sword was one, the left one "swept thousands of troops", the right one "split Huashan", and in a blink of an eye, they cut down three French soldiers, including two Algerian infantry. With one enemy, such a record was obviously subverted by the cognition of these French soldiers, and a group of people rushed up one after another, wanting to besiege this "strange Chinese officer". But Su Yuanchun was light and strong, constantly wandering, specifically to chop down those enemies who wanted to lower their heads and load bullets, and for a time seven or eight French soldiers couldn't help him!
