"A bunch of bastards!" The officer was Charlie, the new captain of the British fleet who succeeded Hebo, who was killed by the bombing, and I saw that his goatee was cocked up, and his nose was puffing, "This Ergin, whose brain is in the water!" Charlie cursed loudly, "With more than 10,000 people, even if they are caught as pigs, it will take days, right?" He actually just lasted until the evening, less than a day! Yes, in less than a day, the whole line was defeated, and I also gave this fool a few cannons on ships, if the Chinese had a few more powerful fleets, and the Far Eastern fleet like Russia, I would not dare to anchor in this bay like a duck, this is a target that does not miss at all! That's good," Charlie raised his hands and made a downward striking gesture, as if the obnoxious Earl of Ergin were in the air, "I and my navy men have paid such a great price in exchange for the result that you told me that the armies of the two nations were defeated?" I can't accept it at all! ”

The captain of the musketeer squad who came the news was drenched in sweat, but he did not dare to raise his hand to wipe his sweat, who knows if the commander of the fleet under the anger will throw his rude self into the cold water to let those Chinese fishermen pick up the cheap, ten taels of silver, in China can probably buy ten pigs, but recently, their squad stationed in Dagukou, a stronghold that was bombarded by their own army, no longer dares to grab food from the Chinese at will, because every Chinese who sees the British army will shine a strange light in their eyes, It was like a hungry wolf's eyes when he saw food, and he didn't care about it at first, until the grain route to Tongzhou was broken, a few soldiers who went out alone disappeared, and the camp was attacked by a group of unknown militants.

The squad leader was taken aback and hurried to the fleet to report the bad news. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoCaptain Charlie, who originally basked in the sun every day on the ship, drank wine, and personally proofread the artillery and hit a few Chinese small sampans, heard such bad news, how could he not be furious.

The captain, who had been listening silently, stepped forward to the poor captain's angry mate. "Mr. Captain, what are we going to do next? Do you want to send troops ashore to rescue? ”

"No, no, no, let's not say that we don't have many troops, you must know that the navy relies on the navy's fleet and artillery. And not us poor soldiers! Charlie denied, "We went ashore and left our best weapons and equipment, and there was only a dead end." Charlie barely calmed his anger and waved at the squad leader. Sergeant, you give me to guard the mouth of Dagu, and the Chinese are not allowed to attack again, as long as I hold the fort anywhere, even if Erjin is rubbish," Charlie showed a disgusting expression on his face again, "I can always return to Tianjin." ”

"We'll just wait here and wait and see," Charlie was a little helpless, "until the damn Army has a definite news." Let's make plans again, originally I hoped to return home with the Chinese's silver," Before the words fell, the squad leader who had just gone out climbed into the room with a rolling belt, his face turned pale, "Mr. Captain, there is news from Tongzhou that Count Ergin has been besieged by the Chinese!" ”

"What!"

Ergin raised the telescope and looked at the formation down the mountain, the telescope had been hit by an unknown hard object into a deep concave, and the originally extremely particular Count Ergin had abandoned it as long as there was a slight flaw in the past. Now it is not necessary to be so particular, after all, in this small mountain bag near Tongzhou besieged by the Chinese, it is better not to waste the materials.

A new herald had come to tell him that the Earl had just asked him to count the exact number. "Lord Earl, according to the statistics, there are 2,536 people in total."

Probably a few hundred people were lost, Ergin shook his head, "How many people are injured?" ”

"There were about 80 people who were slightly injured and more than 10 people who were seriously injured. Mr. Earl, we are already out of medicine. ”

Hearing the bad news, Ergin sighed, "Then you can only take good care of it," a horn sounded under the mountain indicating the attack, and Ergin hurriedly ordered loudly: "Hold their respective positions, and don't let the Chinese attack it!" ”

After more than an hour, the Chinese army that tried to attack the mountain was repulsed again, and several tired British soldiers hurriedly lay down to rest, and Ergin did not have time to ask how the casualties were, so he hurriedly called someone to prepare food, and the herald came again to say, "The monks in the temple have been tied up, and the Earl should kill them." ”

"Don't want it for the time being, and you can't let them go, otherwise the hateful Chinese below will know our details, and the translator is not there, and we can't handle Chinese food," Ergin lamented, "go and warn them with actions, and then ask them to cook for us, or kill them!" ”

"Yes!" The monks of the monastery on the hill had no choice but to cook the food and supply it to these foreign devils who should go to hell, Erjin just pulled a few mouthfuls of rice with chopsticks with clumsy movements, and a thunderous cry sounded at the foot of the mountain, the horn whimpered, and Erjin cursed, "These damned Chinese are harassing us again!" Alert! Get ready to attack! ”

。。。。

Monk Lingqin looked at the rising smoke on the hill and frowned slightly, "What, do these Britons still have a lot of food?" ”

"Back to the prince's words, no, I just asked the local elders, saying that there is a temple on this mountain, but there are more than ten monks, and it is estimated that the monks are stockpiling food for the winter."

"It's okay," Monk Gelinqin didn't care, "I don't think there is much food, all the troops take turns to fight, we must not let the foreigners have a chance to breathe, and then pass the order Yongtong Bridge, quickly come to support the siege of the foreigners, muskets and artillery are used by the king, take the British to practice and train the soldiers, if anyone drops the chain, it is not enough to attack for half an hour, and the king's military law is engaged." After Monk Lingqin finished speaking murderously, the heralds ordered each department in turn.

"Also, send a team of cavalry to Tianjin Wei to take a look, if the foreigners send reinforcements by sea, this side must know as soon as possible!"

"Wow!"

。。。

"Command the fleet," Charlie heard the bad news from the squad leader with a gloomy face, and was silent for a long time, and after more than ten minutes, he gave the order to the first officer, "The fleet turned its rudder to the north and left Dagukou. ”

"Mr. Commander!" The captain was shocked, "Please send troops to rescue the Earl!" "And not to turn somewhere else!

"Send this unfortunate bastard off the ship, and you guard that damn battery, and see how many more routs will come around." The captain was taken out, and Charlie said to the first mate, "The army is useless, we can only rely on us, we will go to Yantai, and then to Lushun, we must make the Chinese panic, otherwise we will have no possibility of victory in this war!"
