He fought happily here, and on the artillery position near the mountain gate, people's faces changed color in unison, and they turned their heads to look at Wang Jiuxuan and Xuan Zheng and other Taoist priests of the Sanyuan Temple.

Xuan Zheng's face was calm at this time, and he said indifferently: "These houses in Sanyuanguan have been around for a while, and they should be renovated as well."

Tell the people in the artillery camp that they don't care about those bottles and cans, and shoot into the Taoist temple. ”

Wang Jiuxuan nodded, understanding that it was actually very cost-effective to exchange the lives of thousands of British soldiers with the old buildings of Sanyuanguan, so he personally passed the news to the artillery battalion here.

Originally, there were many disciples of the Sanyuan Temple here, and their faces turned a little blue when they heard Xuan Zheng's order, but they all knew that there was no room for the slightest hesitation in the military formation, and none of them spoke, but the hatred for the British army in their hearts increased by seven points.

The rocket artillery was then extended to the Taoist temple, and the British troops who had been lucky enough to hide in the Taoist temple encountered a great blow, and their number was further reduced.

Only a small number of British troops survived, hiding in or outside buildings that were lucky not to collapse.

Li Xian felt that the time was ripe, so he asked the artillery to stop firing, and then ordered the trumpet to be sounded, and the infantry went in to destroy the enemy.

At this time, in addition to the small force led by Xuan Zheng and Wang Jiuxuan stationed in front of the gate of Daoguan Mountain and placed a large force of the British army to come over for reinforcements, the large force of the Township Protector Army, including ordinary soldiers and warriors, a total of seven or eight thousand people, quickly broke into the Taoist Temple to eliminate the British army.

This is not enough, the more than 20,000 strong men who were originally fleeing in all directions have actually converged in the distance, and at this time, they are also holding spears and other cold weapons, gathered and gathered from the outside of Sanyuanguan to the inside, and wiped out the British army together with Li Xian's regular troops.

Nearly 30,000 people fought together, and the scene was extremely spectacular for a while.

A part of the British army tried to rush out of the Daoguan Mountain Gate and ran back, but Xuan Zheng and others with grenadiers and rifled spearmen were all blocked in the mountain gate and eliminated.

A small group of British troops caught up from behind, trying to rescue their companions trapped in the Taoist temple, but unfortunately the number was too small, only three or four hundred, and they were only equipped with ordinary smoothbore guns.

Several disciples of Sanyuanguan followed behind Xuan Zheng with bamboo baskets filled with grenades, and Xuan Zheng picked up the grenade and threw it out, which could ensure an accuracy of seven or eight percent at a distance of three hundred meters, comparable to a humanoid self-propelled cannon, and one person eliminated more than 100 people.

Some of the British soldiers who were lucky enough to survive came to shoot with their guns, but needless to say, ordinary smoothbore guns, even rifled guns may not be able to break through the defense of the innate masters, and they have no effect at all.

In any case, the strength of the innate masters in this battle also left a deep impression on most people.

It took two hours for all the British troops who entered the temple to be wiped out or surrendered, but the personnel were scattered badly, and it took another three hours for Li Xian to reassemble the people.

At this time, everyone knew that this battle had won a huge victory, and they all cheered, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian's Guangdong No. 1 Art of War, everyone's name has been decided.

Li Xian ordered most of the people to be stationed and rested, and a small number of people were on guard to prevent the British from thinking about it for a while and sending people to attack.

At night, according to Li Xian's habit, it was necessary to send elite warrior troops to sneak attack the British troops stationed in the third line, but unfortunately the British army originally left heavy troops on the side of the Sifang Battery, and the troops left behind in the second and third trench positions were only about 500 people, which were only used to keep the transportation smooth.

After the more than 3,000 troops led by the British commander were blocked by Li Xian in the Taoist temple and wiped out, the rest of them woke up like a dream, understood the strategy of the Chinese army, and paid too few personnel and too far from the Sifang Fort, so they could not get effective support, so they took advantage of Li Xian's lack of time to deal with it, and they all gathered in advance and retreated.

This time, Li Xian's side regained two positions without much effort, but it failed to weaken the strength of the British army, and it was meaningless.

The next day, after a full meal, the Protectors marched to the second line of positions and rebuilt their defensive lines.

The British army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties when it had previously conquered the three lines of defense, but this time it lost more than 3,000 people in Sanyuanguan, and the total number of troops was more than 4,000, and only about half of the original 8,500 troops remained.

Any army that is wiped out by more than fifty percent will have a scattered organization, low morale, and the entire contingent is close to collapse.

Fortunately, the British army was well-trained, and with a large number of warships and friendly forces behind it, it barely collapsed, but it had lost the slightest fighting spirit.

From the perspective of the British army, the strength shown by Li Xian's side is far beyond imagination, the soldiers and militia (that is, ordinary villagers) add up to more than 30,000 people, the total strength is far beyond his own, and the level of equipment is not bad, at this time it is very stupid to take the initiative to attack, it is better to rely on the facilities of the Sifang Fort to defend.

Li Xian was not burned by the victory, and would think about attacking the Sifang Fort, which was garrisoned by more than 4,000 British troops, but only retreated after showing off his might in the north with his soldiers.

In short, this time the Protector Army and the British Army were transposed offensively and defensively, and the British Army attacked the Protector Army to the Protector Army attacked the British Army, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

When the officials in Guangzhou learned of the news, they were all speechless as if they were mourning.

"This is the easiest way to be anti-guest-oriented, the British are not very capable, why do they get into it in a hurry?" Song Mingda didn't care about his demeanor, and cursed at this time.

Shen Baozhen pursed his lips secretly, thinking to himself that you should be an afterthought, you didn't see it when Li Xian first used this trick, and you were still elated, and now that the hole cards of the people are revealed, and the British are wiped out, you just jump out and speak, as if you have long seen through Li Xian's tricks.

"The British, just defeated?" Qi Shan said in confusion, unable to believe that such a formidable army could be defeated by a small army of warriors.

When Qi Shan visited the British warships, he was immediately blinded by the warships equipped with dozens of guns and three or four decks, not to mention that the British did not have one or two such warships, but dozens.

The navy has so many guns, and the army shouldn't be bad, right, how can it become a soft-footed shrimp as soon as it comes ashore, Qi Shan really can't figure out this thing.

At this time, we have to find out the tone of the British. Yiliang suggested.

The relationship between the executives in Guangzhou and the British has always been good, and they have been secretly in contact, but this time they sent people to investigate the situation of the British, and the first one went and did not come back, the second one had no news, and the third and fourth ones had no trace at all.

The fifth, when he came to the British garrison, did not dare to go in, but after reading it from afar, he came back and reported that the British had built a huge wooden frame in the barracks, and that the four men who had been sent before were all hung on wooden shelves with nooses.
