Charlie's strategy is correct, the only thing to worry about is whether the more than 300 British soldiers stationed in the town can hold on to the help of more than twice the Chinese siege, but Charlie arranged the fastest cavalry regiment to fight, under the leadership of the bearded patrol, suddenly everyone arrived in the valley where the Chinese had come before, the bearded cavalry raised his head, pointed to a clear black smoke rising in the distance and said, "This is the signal of my men!" This shows that the town is still under our control. ”

After the rainstorm, the weather was exceptionally clear, and the black smoke rising in the air was like a pen, rising, dazzling in the clear blue sky, and the bearded Arab commander nodded, "Although they are still holding on, we must hurry up and reach the battlefield as quickly as possible, otherwise," a bloody smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Then there will be no chance for us to kill!" ”

The patrol nodded, "I completely agree with your point of view, only you brothers in North African Arabia can quickly solve the Chinese!" He nodded towards the quiet and beautiful valley, "I often patrol through here, and from here, it's about a dozen kilometers away, and we can reach the battlefield!" ”

The Arab commander nodded, and he stretched out his scimitar, "Then we can now take a charging stance, brothers!" He raised his sword and shouted, "Let's trample on the corpses of our enemies for final victory!" ”

The clerk seemed to be shivering a little, and he didn't know if it was the cold wind in the valley or some other reason, but the patrolman hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord, that's all right, but I don't think there's any need to be so nervous!" By the way," he said, "I'll go check the valley now and see if there are any ambushes, of course, of course, the generals don't care about the Chinese ambushes, but if you can be careful, it would be good." ”

The clerk nodded violently, he forced a smile and said, "Yes, that's very good, you go and take it, if there is no ambush, I think I can relax a little now, not to be so nervous, save my strength to the end." ”

The Arabs laughed disdainfully and contemptuously, and the meaning of disdain in the laughter was clear, and the clerk was a little annoyed, knowing that these people were laughing at their timidity, but at this time they had to rely on them, so they secretly hated that next time there was an opportunity to pinch you, this time I would let you go. The patrolman who had gone into the valley to find his way out after a while, "Everything is normal!" My lord, there is no ambush! ”

"Very well," the Arab commander lazily put the knife back into its scabbard, "cheaper than those Chinese, even if they dare to ambush in the valley, it is impossible to defeat us." ”

"I'm totally convinced," the bearded patrolman's eyes flashed, "and let me lead the way." ”

More than a thousand North African cavalry even led horses into the valley, it was really powerful, the originally clear streams were trampled and muddy, although the valley was not too curved, but it was quite wide, not to say that there was any sheep intestine path, seeing such a scene The commander was even more relieved, the Chinese had no troops to send out to ambush their own reinforcements, even if there were, their knights would definitely disperse them as long as one round of charge.

Since there was no vigilance, so everyone was a little lazy, and when they came to a small waterfall, when there was a big tree in the middle of the road, the huge crown of the big tree just blocked the way, if it was one or two crossing, it should be no problem, but there were also many trees of different sizes behind them, obviously the road was not very smooth, and the patrol was a little depressed, "There was no tree when I came here to report the news before, and it must have been washed down by heavy rain." ”

The cavalry commander looked left and right and found that there was nothing abnormal, and at this time the cavalry behind had already rushed up, and the formation was a little chaotic at this time, and the commander felt that he was about to arrive at the battlefield, and it didn't matter if he rested at this time, so he ordered, "Move the big tree first, and half and half of the people take turns to get up and rest!" ”

The front had already dismounted and rested when he heard the order, and the people behind had not yet been passed in place, the war horses were still rushing towards the front, and the clerk ordered the patrol and a few soldiers to move away from the stones and trees blocking the road, etc., and the scene was the most chaotic, and suddenly, the Arab commander seemed to be keenly aware of something, he turned his head and looked at a bush on the hillside, where a white mist suddenly rose, and then "bang". There are gunshots!

As if it was a signal flare, this gunshot, suddenly kicked off the prelude to the battle, the originally quiet valley sounded crackling muskets, some of the unlucky North African Arab cavalry was shot at once, the white robe on the body exploded red blood, fell into the muddy water and cried in pain, the commander of the side also had someone shot and fell to the ground, he looked around in annoyance, suddenly caught off guard, everyone was a little flustered, ignorant and even dizzy, not knowing where the enemy's musket was, At this time, it was shown that the commander was different from others, and he waved his horsewhip vigorously at a few dazed cavalrymen on the side, "Immediately form a team!" Get ready to fight back! You idiots, they're on the hillside! ”

The clerk trembled, shouted and hid behind the commander, at this time the commander scolded him, everyone calmed down a little, began to turn over their horses, and opened the formation, although there was some confusion, but it was more or less unprepared, and some people with muskets began to fight back on the hillside, the commander asked the clerk loudly, "That damn patrol didn't say that there was no ambush how could there be people here!" Call that damn man over right now, I'm going to stab this idiot myself! ”

The bearded patrol who was cursed loudly by the Arab commander sneaked out of the valley early when carrying the trees, and arrived at a hidden place, where several Chinese were already waiting, and saw that this Englishman in red uniform actually did not draw his sword to greet him, but stepped forward to say hello affectionately, the bearded patrol laughed, ripped off his full beard, and suddenly revealed the face of an oriental, not Xue Pan or who?
