A soldier with golden curly hair wiped the sweat from his face, bypassed several groups of British soldiers lying on his stomach, and saluted Ergin, who was sitting in the crowd with a gloomy face: "Lord Earl, those Chinese have been defeated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Listening to the sound of gongs in his ears, Ergin was overwhelmed, "These Chinese like flies, who have been sticking to our army, are thinking of biting a big piece of meat here to please the executioner in Beijing," Ergin gritted his teeth, thinking of the various traps on the way to retreat, and became more and more annoyed. "There's absolutely no way they'll succeed, they'll be on the road in five minutes!"

The herald prayed with a wail: "Lord Earl, let everyone rest more, we haven't eaten for a morning, those shameless Chinese have been harassing us last night, God, everyone has hardly slept!" ”

"Can't rest," Ergin looked at the idiot-like herald, he thought that when it was safe, he must replace this subordinate who dared to question his orders, it was too much mouth, "You didn't notice that the regular army of the Chinese is getting fewer and fewer?" The herald nodded in agreement, "That means they're already after the poor lone soldiers, or they don't have enough troops!" Idiot! Erjin shouted sharply, "If we take advantage of the opportunity for them to capture those gold coins that the Chinese think are just moving coins and return to Tongzhou City, then we will stay in this ominous place forever!" My corporal! Hurry, hurry back to Tongzhou, we will have a good rest in Tongzhou, hold that majestic city, and wait for the support of the Far Eastern Fleet, I don't believe it," Erjin still felt that he couldn't lose at this time, "I don't believe that we can't turn defeat into victory!" Come on! ”

The group dragged their tired bodies and set off, Ergin's assertion seemed to be correct, and on the way, sure enough, the originally extremely common squad of cavalry was gone, only some Chinese who were completely equipped by peasants in the eyes of the British to harass the large army, and all the vile and shameless tricks were carried out, and Ergin never knew that in the daily novels of the Chinese, there would be many tricks that would teach people how to use them on the enemy, poisoning the water in the river well, casting poisonous smoke, firing arrows, digging traps- Those traps do not need to be dug again at all, and the previously dug can be used to cover up, beating gongs and drums all the time to disturb the British army, Ergin because there is not enough gunpowder, so he strictly ordered the British troops not to shoot at will, so that the Chinese are even more unscrupulous, and finally dare to stand on the official road and watch the British troops in red uniforms, like watching jugglers. Many British soldiers were injured and couldn't walk, hungry and tired, stopped in place and refused to move forward, giving up their glory as British soldiers, Ergin did not pull them, but took the British troops who could still walk to Tongzhou, and the soldiers who fell at the end of the line turned their heads and watched a group of Chinese cheering and rushing up to drown those British soldiers who had fallen behind, and several groups of people had questions about the ownership of prisoners and had a small fight. The British soldiers were suddenly sad and sad, and hurriedly gritted their teeth to keep up with Count Elgin, who was still riding a horse.

Almost to the ground in Tongzhou, the harassment of the crowd finally a little less, and then after all, all the harassment troops were lost, Ergin breathed a sigh of relief, these few hours are really difficult, Ergin with a small number of cavalry and a group of musketeers to Tongzhou City, looking at Tongzhou City as when he left the bleak and cold, the city gate is wide open, there are few figures, Ergin then let go of his heart, at this time, he feels that only the strong and thick city wall can give himself a little sense of security, but, Ergin has been afraid of the well rope for ten years, although he does not know this proverb, but he thinks it is better to be cautious, the brigade of men and horses stood in front of the city gate, Ergin pointed a small team into Tongzhou City to check, "See if the Chinese are ambushed inside!" ”

As soon as the squad entered the gate of Tongzhou, they heard crackling muskets, artillery, and the sound of fighting, Erjin was shocked, cold sweat involuntarily flowed down, there was a shout on the city gate, many Chinese soldiers with bows and arrows appeared on the city wall, and a huge banner was erected, the word Ergin on it did not know, and he did not know the general wearing armor under his banner, but he knew a little, and the idea of wanting to defend Tongzhou City and play tug-of-war with the Chinese was shattered.

Standing on the city gate, the face of the monk Grinqin sank like water, I didn't expect the British after the defeat to be so alert, actually sent a team to explore the city first, but called his ambush knife used to kill chickens, Monk Grinqin waved his hand, the soldiers on the city tower pulled the bowstring, the feather arrows poured down like a torrential rain, the city tower was mournful, and the monk Grinqin finally had a little happiness in his eyes, "The whole army attacked, this king wants to see this group of British all destroyed!"
