At that time, Captain Song Xiang's mind was blank, and the blood in his whole body rushed to his hands and feet.

In his eyes, the movements of those Tartars slowed down.

More than two dozen of them were rolling to the ground amid the first row of gunfire.

Some of the Tartars, with blood-red eyes, sped up and howled with their mouths open, still rushing towards them; There were Tartars staring at him in panic, slowing his speed, looking at his companion who was rolling on the ground, and at his companion who had fled just now.

Squad Leader Song Xiang smirked.

He seemed to hear the harmonica of "Fifteen Moons" again.

The harmonica sound of "Fifteenth Moon" is now wafting between heaven and earth!

Blood-red eyes!

Dead eyes!

Captain Song Xiang stepped towards the Tartars!

How many Tartars on the other side, I don't know, but he knows that he only wants to slaughter now!

Whether he will be killed or not, I don't know, but he knows that he only wants to be slaughtered now! ――

The Tartars ruined his future!!

The "Fifteenth Moon" is still ringing in the heavens and the earth.

At this time, the sharp shout of the recruit Xiao Er was suddenly heard: "Captain, attack grenade!" ”

In an instant, everything was normal.

At this time, Captain Song Xiang saw more than 20 grenades cutting an arc from his head, some flying far away, some flying close.

When Captain Song Xiang saw a grenade seven or eight meters away from him, his eyes were round when he was jumping and rolling towards the Tartar who was rushing over, who threw it so close?!

He subconsciously threw himself to the place next to him, and he was still rolling around!

He knows very well how powerful this offensive grenade is!

These Tartars were stragglers who were beaten away in the Battle of Zhenjiang Prefecture, and the leader of the team was the deputy capital commander Haiertai.

Zhenjiang, in the Ming Dynasty, was called Nanzhili Zhenjiang Mansion; In the time of the Tatars, it was called Nanzhili Zhenjiang Mansion; On the battle map issued by the Hantang Group, it is also called Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province.

It's a place that has to be taken down.

It is located at the crossroads of the Yangtze River and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, two golden waterways, and is the lifeblood of the two water transport roads.

In the eyes of the security department of Hantang Group, this place is more important than Nanjing.

The Hai'an Brigade of the Hantang Group dispatched four inland river warships for this place.

In fact, it was four paddle steamers, towing a total of twelve barges, carrying 500 Haian marines and corresponding supplies, and they went all the way north to here.

They were accompanied by two 200-ton ships sailing up the river, carrying 200 Haian marines and corresponding supplies.

There were only 1,500 Tartars in Zhenjiang City, including 400 Qingzhou bannermen.

The main reason why Hantang Group values them more is that they understand history.

The Tatars once fought a terrible battle here.

If history had not changed, in 1842, the British invading army launched the Yangtze River Campaign to invade China, captured the Wusong Fort, and then went up the river in June to Zhenjiang.

These invading forces were menacing and powerful, with 76 large and small ships, more than 12,000 soldiers of the navy and army, and 725 guns.

On July 21, the British army began to attack the city, and the British army bombarded the north and west gates with artillery fire.

After the city was broken, the defenders of Zhenjiang did not retreat, on the city tower, the Qing army blocked the British army besieging the city with fierce artillery fire, using the battlements as a cover, step by step, and the enemy who climbed the city tower hand-to-hand combat, and some jumped off the city with the British army in their arms.

After the city was broken, fierce street battles were fought in many places in the city.

Under the command of Hailing, the deputy commander of the capital, 1,500 of our officers and men, with the same hatred for the enemy, fought bloody battles with 7,000 British soldiers with sophisticated weapons with earthen cannons, shotguns, broadswords, and spears, fighting the enemy on every inch of land.

After the four gates of the city were breached by the British army, Hailing's wife committed suicide by jumping into the flames with her grandson in order to inspire her husband to fight the enemy to the end and express her determination to live and die with the city.

The grief-stricken Hailing couldn't care about burying his relatives, so he gathered the remnants with tears and asked all the soldiers to "rather die on the battlefield than live in front of the invaders"!

Hai Ling led his troops to fight to the death with the British army. At the last moment, he ordered his subordinates to pile up gong, paper and firewood around him, and set himself on fire with his own hands, martyring his country.

In fact, this is just a kind of content of a person's narrative.

Partial truth is never reality itself.

This Hailing is actually the culprit of the loss of Zhenjiang.

He was arrogant and arrogant, despised the Han soldiers, refused to allow foreign reinforcements to enter the city, did not prepare for battle, searched for traitors and killed innocent people under the pretext, and forbade refugees to move out of the city, causing great terror and chaos.

There is a "bamboo branch word" written by the people of Zhenjiang: "All the people sent people to catch traitors, and each family was afraid behind closed doors." It is difficult to solve the injustice of mistakenly throwing into the net, and the blood in the small school field has not dried up. ”

What kind of relationship between the military and the people, between the cadres and the masses, and between the nationalities is this?

Why did Hai Ling conclude that traitors would take the opportunity to cause trouble? He must be familiar with the local social conditions and people's hearts, especially how many bad things the banner gang has done to the Han people in the city; The flag soldiers had to fight on both sides and concentrate most of their forces on the elimination of traitors.

Objectively speaking, before the Hailing massacre, "traitors in thought" and people who were disloyal to the Manchus accounted for the vast majority of Zhenjiang residents, but there were very few fierce "traitors in action".

At that time, China and foreign countries had just begun to come into contact, and the possibility of the ordinary people in the isolated towns and rivers hooking up with the British army in advance to become undercover agents was very small, and the Qing Dynasty closed the country to the outside world.

But after Hailing started a war against the Han people in the city, the situation was very different.

He found all kinds of excuses to kill the Han Chinese.

Just imagine, countless innocent people have been unjustly killed in just one city, what kind of shock and excitement will this have for the people? How many people would want to kill Hailing and his men? Anger is burning everywhere, the people are thinking back, and Zhenjiang at that time is just that.

The people have no grievances against the foreign army on the border, and the local ruler has become the mortal enemy of the people.

The Manchu rulers drove fish for the abyss and created a large-scale fifth column for the foreign army with great efficiency, which finally determined the tragic fate of the Zhenjiang banner soldiers.

The diary of Li Jiyun, the superintendent of Jiangnan Province, recorded the news obtained from the front line, "At that time, Yingyi had no intention of entering the town, and wanted to go straight to the river, and the deputy capital of Zhenjiang was Hailing, killing innocents every day, and the people were not happy, so he invited him to enter the city." ”

That is to say, it was the "leading the way, the party" who urged the passing foreign troops to enter the city and extinguish the flag.

The goal of these "traitors" is simple and clear, that is, to accompany the British army into Zhenjiang to kill Hailing's team.

"The invading army arrived at Jiaoshan Pass and was shelled by the defenders of Xiangshan Fort, and the British army sent traitors to land on a small sampan under the cover of artillery fire", this historical material proves that "leading the way, the party" not only led the way, but also took the lead in the charge at the risk of death.

There were more "traitors" in the city, so much so that the imperial court had to call the traitors "chaotic people".

Emperor Daoguang issued an edict on the Zhenjiang incident: "There are many chaotic people", "the chaotic people take advantage of the chaos to vent their anger, and the officials set up thieves, which is really a great crime", and also revealed the situation reported by the Yanguan and Hailing's colleagues: "Someone hereby played, 'Hailing Cha Na traitors, and killed countless good people by mistake, so that the people were not convinced, and the deputy capital was surrounded, and Hailing was bombarded by the arson. Hearing the internal changes, he took advantage of the situation and went straight into the city. The death of Hai Ling is heard to be harmed by the people.'"

The Security Department of Hantang Group has analyzed that the bravery of the flag soldiers at that time was real and credible, but their purpose was only to protect their families, because they had lived in Zhenjiang for more than 200 years! Make this your home.

This doesn't have to be the case now.

However, the Hantang group still attracted attention, and they did not use so many troops when they recovered the state.

But they overthought it.

When the two types of warships of the Haian Brigade of the Hantang Group appeared under the city of Zhenjiang, the Tatars had already begun to be in chaos.

They disagreed not about going out of the city to fight or to hold on, but about when to retreat, because they had been here for less than ten years, but they had built the city of Tartars in a hurry, and non-Tartars were not allowed to enter!

There are also terrible rumors that the army of 200,000 -

In fact, there is another point that makes them have no heart to resist, the Hantang Group, a terrible pirate group, they didn't use all their strength to fight them.

The secret report said that there were bigger ships on the Yangtze River, which were heading towards Nanjing!

Run, run with your family!

It's all about where to run.

The Yangtze River can't be crossed now, and I'm afraid that Nanjing is also attacking the city, right? The only way to go south is to find the king of Pingnan - if the inland is big, I am afraid that the pirates will be able to blockade them all?!

In fact, the siege of Zhenjiang was not a battle, but the situation that the Hantang Group Security Department disliked the most since then appeared.

The Tartars were not good at attacking cities, in fact, they were not good at defending cities, they liked field battles, in other words, they were good at wandering and committing crimes.

When Captain Homer Elephant commanded this fleet to fire at Zhenjiang City, the M1857 gun, with its accurate hit rate, quickly smashed the south gate and west gate, and opened fire on the canal, basically without considering the impact of waves.

The marines of the Han and Tang groups charged towards the shore under the cover of shells, and the Tatars who were forced to stay on the city wall did not even have a chance to fire at the Haian marines, because their assault boats did not approach the city wall at all.

The artillery on the city wall of Zhenjiang is all small cannons, which were not originally used to block the canal, but to defend the city.

When the marines of the Hai'an Brigade of the Hantang Group began to deploy rocket positions outside the range of their small artillery, the Tartars who had been forced to hold on to the city walls ran out.

War is the best teacher, and humans tend to believe rumors about war.

Captain Homer was stunned at the time, you see, when others are like this, they can hook the whole team of Tartars to attack, I have everything ready here, they ran away!

Is there really a character in this world?

The siege battle imagined by Captain Homer did not appear, not even the street fighting!

What comforted him was that at last the righteous men appeared, and took them to bite off many of the fleeing tails of the Tartars.

What left him speechless was that many vendors were running in front of them with fruits and vegetables and dangling -

What made him angry was that the headquarters of his Yangtze River detachment had not yet been cleaned up, and many big families had people send gifts of four-colored fruits, asking if it was also exempt from taxes for half a year, and if it was also under military control.

Captain Homer Elephant was embarrassed to write this operation as a heart-wrenching battle when he wrote the summary of the battle afterwards.

Long afterwards, he approached Secretary-General Yang Youxing and lamented that he was out of time.

Secretary-General Yang Youxing sneered and said: "The siege of Zhenjiang is a watershed, and if you stand at the height of history at that time, you will find that you have opened another stage of play. But the result? You talked in generalities, and it wasn't until the next few operations that everyone realized that the Tartars were very good at learning from the battlefield - they were few in number, they were more afraid of death, and they were definitely good at running! ”

"Because everything was robbed by them, if you can occupy one more day, you can't take it, run the damn, don't feel distressed!"

"Look at it, you're smart, you haven't given them time to reconcile, and you haven't given birth to many second-class goods!"

I won't talk about that later.

At that time, there had always been a great difference among the people retreating from Zhenjiang, and everyone dispersed when they ran and ran.

At that time, there were as many as 500 people with this horse, and they were running with their families.

He was confident that he would bring the team to Guangzhou.

However, the other Tartars who did not have any family members here did not have faith, and they became a little scattered along the way.

The Tartars' families were actually good at wandering, but they still involved some energy, and the Tartars were slow to escape.

As they slowly walked to Hawksbill Ridge, the pathfinders in front reported that they had spotted more than thirty people resembling a pirate group!

Heltai, the deputy capital commander, asked in surprise: "&......%¥%......&#!" ”

The pathfinder confirmed again that there were only thirty-eight of them, and there was absolutely no backup! All of them had firearms.

Vice-Commander Heltai sighed, good chance, he might destroy them and take their firearms-
