But he also thought that not only the British Empire came to the land of China, but also Spain and France, the two sworn enemies, and thousands of soldiers and horses entered the land of China as mercenaries and merchants.

Especially on the island of Macao, where the Spaniards had a stronghold, as well as the island of Taiwan, and the Dutch also had a stronghold, although the Dutch army did not enter Guangdong, but they landed in Fujian, and had a very close relationship with the Ming warlord Zheng Zhilong.

These were all enemies of the British Empire, and Jackson vowed to dominate the land of China, expand the territory for the king, and make all the countries of Europa vassals of the British Empire.

He summoned the officers above the rank of captain in the city and asked them to defeat the Ming army in one go tonight, after all, this was the first time to fight with the Ming people, and they had to play the prestige of the royal grenadiers.

The subordinates are full of confidence and promise to complete the task well tonight.

Before the meeting ended, Jackson once again asked his subordinates to take more prisoners, after all, the Royal Grenadier Regiment was outnumbered, and it would take the puppet army to conquer the city, so it was very likely to defeat the damned Fuso.

More than 1,000 grenadiers were fighting in the city, and the Ming soldiers outside the city were not idle.

He deserved to be the general who led the troops, and ordered to dig a lot of trenches in front of the barracks, and there were a small number of scouts in each trench, these scouts ate very well, and there was almost no night blindness.

If the red-haired devil launched a surprise attack, he immediately came back to report, and he led his troops to withdraw from the position.

It's not that he's timid, because he sees that the red-haired devil's firearms are too powerful, and fighting hard is obviously not the way.

He will always remember Ling Jingyang telling him that against an enemy with only advanced weapons, he must retreat in great strides and lead the enemy into a deeper battlefield, so as to dilute the enemy's strength, and only in this way can he concentrate his superior forces to destroy a part of the enemy, and slowly eat away at the enemy, so as to have a chance to win.

At night, Jackson ordered the soldiers and horses in the city to leave the city and launch a surprise attack on the Ming army.

In this raid, Jackson did not use artillery shells for the first time, because the shells brought from the British mainland were not

It is often precious, and it is not used if it can be used as much as possible. He believed that with the abilities of the Royal Grenadier, rifles and grenades would be enough to wipe out the Ming army outside the city.

Watching a captain open the city gates, more than a thousand grenadiers out of the city and killing the Ming army's position, Jackson believed that tomorrow the sun would rise, and the outside of the city would be full of Ming corpses, as well as a long list of captives, who would become the puppet army of the British Empire, Jackson felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart,

But he didn't know that on both sides of a road in the east of Haifeng City, there was an army that quietly entered the battlefield, this army was the right battalion led by Zhao Tu, although there were only more than 2,000 people, and most of the soldiers were a group of village warriors who had not undergone much training.

But there are dozens of experienced officers in the right battalion, these officers are low-level officers and veterans of the left battalion, and they are also the backbone of the right battalion.

He looked at Haifeng City deadly, in the first half of the night, there was no movement in Haifeng City, he thought he had misjudged and let his subordinates watch here, he went back to sleep, just closed his eyes, his subordinates ran over to wake him up, there was movement in the city.

Zhao Tu hurriedly got up, and it was not enough to ridicule this group of red-haired devils.

He did not rush to attack, but waited until the red-haired devils launched a surprise attack on the Ming army, and 1,300 red-haired soldiers held rifles and hung grenades to kill the Ming army's position.

He Zhen did not hesitate, and retreated with most of the troops, even the scouts in the trenches, all of them retreated, Wu Daling was reluctant to take the red-clothed cannon, he had to take the cannon, He Zhen scolded him.

The red-clothed cannon is gone, it can be rebuilt, but if the people are gone, it is really gone, Wu Daling stomped his feet, took the gunner, and also followed He Zhen to retreat to the northwest.

He asked He Zhen if it was a pity to give up his position?

He Zhen really didn't regret it at all, and gave up the position because he laid a lot of traps in the position.

After the red-haired devils divided into dozens of teams and rushed to the Ming army's position, they were surprised to find that the Ming army's position was empty, and when they took a step further, they suddenly let out dozens of painful wails in the dark, which was a trap set by the Ming army, causing damage to the grenadiers.

Jackson frowned when he heard the wailing outside the city on the city wall, and asked the adjutant to look outside the city to see what was going on with the attacking troops?

The adjutant came to the Ming army's position and saw the soldiers huddled together in twos and threes, some of them were taking care of the wounded soldiers, and dozens of corpses were lying alone on the side, and the adjutant scolded, why didn't the troops move?

A lieutenant said to him: "Son of a bitch, there are only British warriors here, no Ming troops." ”

The adjutant didn't believe it, he and the lieutenant conveyed Jackson's military order, and the whole army pursued the Ming army, after all, the adjutant was the head of the delegation, and the lieutenant did not dare to confront Jackson, so he had to hold a pipe and lead the troops to pursue the Ming army.

Jackson smiled at the city walls as he saw the troops continuing their attack.

As everyone knows, there is a Ming army that is quietly attacking from the east gate, and the Ming army is attacking very quickly, thanks to Zhao Tu and his soldiers, they have not seen the powerful weapons of the grenadiers.

They thought that the red-haired devil was just more powerful than the border army, so they were not afraid at all, and Zhao Tu did not feel heartache to listen to Jingyang's soldiers and horses, boasted of Haikou, and killed a red-haired devil and rewarded ten taels of silver.

Rushed to the east gate one by one, at this time there were still three hundred defenders in Haifeng City, these three hundred people were basically scattered in the city, there were more than forty people at the east gate, and soon found that the Ming army outside the city was attacking, and hurriedly picked up the rifle and smashed the grenade madly at the Ming army.

But in the dark, the power of the rifle was not maximized, but the grenade could cause greater damage to the Ming army, the Ming army launched an attack in the dark, and the grenadiers frantically harvested their lives, and a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded.

The casualties of the Ming army did not cause panic, the darkness covered up the high casualty rate of the Ming army, Zhao Tu led the troops to rush to the east gate, the east gate was only more than three meters high, the Ming army was poorly armed, but there were still many ladders, leaning the ladder on the city wall, and climbing up.

There were not many grenadiers at the east gate, and they could not stop the attack of the Ming army at all, and soon a small number of Ming troops climbed up, and the grenadiers were forced to fight with the Ming army in close combat.

Hurriedly led his subordinates to reinforce the east gate, and when he arrived at the east gate, hundreds of Ming troops had already climbed up from the city wall.
