Yang Nengge found that it was Li Zhen's soldiers outside the camp, and his heart immediately became angry.

Fighting with the British and French armies, isn't this looking for death?

The soldiers in the battalion are dead when they die, but they can't offend the Anglo-French army! Yang Nengge is a typical soft bone, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and only cares about his own interests.

The British and French soldiers shot outside the camp with guns, and they all looked surprised when they charged.

Fifty meters away from the camp, there are ditches on the left and right sides. Li Zhen's soldiers hid inside, revealing their heads and guns on the ground. These soldiers opened fire on the British and French soldiers who rushed out of the camp, and the bullets were fired indiscriminately, and the British and French soldiers on the ground became gun handles, but the soldiers under Li Zhen's command were quite safe.

The gunfire continued, bullets flew sideways, and screams rang out one after another.

In the trench, Yang Banhou and Huang Shihai were extremely excited.

Yang Banhou was full of energy and asked excitedly, "General, how did you decide that the foreigners would attack the camp?" It is simply the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang, a clever calculation. ”

Li Zhen smiled and didn't explain.

In fact, in history, when the Qing army encircled and suppressed the Little Knife Society, the British army once attacked the Qing army station, threatened the Qing government, and intervened in the war of the Little Knife Society, and forced Wu Jianzhang, the then Shanghai Daoist, to sign an unequal treaty, seizing China's customs rights and the rights of the Shanghai Concession.

Li Zhen knew the history, and he also knew that Ali Guo would not give up, so he had already made preparations.

He led the soldiers out of the camp to practice under the slogan of military training, but at night he quietly asked the soldiers to dig a trench outside the camp, but he took the soldiers to hide outside the camp. When Li Zhen learned that the British and French forces were approaching the Qing army camp, he quietly approached the camp with his soldiers. When the British and French troops attacked the camp, Li Zhen quietly entered the trench with his soldiers.

Although Li Zhen gave up the soldiers under Yang Nengge, Li Zhen did not regret it. The soldiers under Yang Nengge's command are already tumors, addicted to gambling, opium, and lazy, which are difficult to save.

"Give me a hard beating until the Anglo-French forces surrender."

Li Zhen laughed arbitrarily, aimed at the people around Adams, and sniped them one by one.

The battle began, and the Anglo-French forces were already in disarray.

Adams only brought 1,000 men, and Li Zhen had more than 900 men, and there was not much difference in the strength of the two sides. At the same time, the guns of both sides were the same breech-loading rifled guns with the same firepower. However, the soldiers under Li Zhen's command were hidden in the trenches and covered by bunkers, but the British and French soldiers were all exposed, and the British and French troops suffered many casualties, but they did not affect the soldiers under Li Zhen's command.

Adams looked at the soldiers who fell one after another, and his heart was like a knife.

In this battle, the coalition forces were defeated.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our soldiers cannot rush through and cannot reach the opposing position. At present, there are more than 400 dead and wounded soldiers, and if the fighting continues, all 1,000 soldiers will surely be wiped out. Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Adams's staff immediately reminded Adams to surrender in a subtle way.

Adams sighed and said, "Raise the white flag and surrender." ”

The soldiers of the British Empire never lost a battle on the land of China. Now it has suddenly surrendered, and not a single white flag of surrender can be found. Adams looked left and right, but could not find the white flag of surrender. In desperation, Adams actually ordered the staff officer next to him to take off his coat, then take off the white shirt inside, tie it with a wooden stick, and shake it incessantly to indicate surrender.

The coalition soldiers were ordered to surrender, stop firing and stop attacking.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Zhen's mouth, and he ordered: "Yellow Tiger, let the foreigners throw down their weapons and retreat into the barracks." ”

"Yes!"

Huang Hu nodded, took a deep breath, and roared loudly: "All the foreigners listen, put the foreign guns in your hands on the ground, and then retreat into the camp, waiting for my general to accept your surrender, otherwise they will all be shot." ”

When Adams heard this, his face turned pale, but he could only nod in agreement.

The staff officer conveyed the order, and the coalition soldiers immediately threw away their guns and obediently retreated into the camp.

Li Zhen instructed again: "Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, you take three hundred soldiers to collect the weapons on the ground, and then control all the coalition soldiers. ”

"The last general obeys!"

The two of them received the order, and without hesitation, they ordered three hundred soldiers, ran out of the trench and walked towards the camp.

Adams looked at Li Zhen cautiously and said that he was not unjustly defeated.

Yang Banhou and Huang Shihai collected all the guns and controlled all the coalition soldiers, and Li Zhen and Huang Hu took the remaining soldiers out of the trenches and returned to the camp.

The war ended, and the battlefield began to be cleared.

After the results of the battle were counted, 2,000 soldiers in the Qing army camp were killed and 1,300 wounded, and the rest of the soldiers were not injured. The attacking Anglo-French forces suffered 358 dead, 197 wounded, and 445 prisoners. The dead soldiers were buried together, and Li Zhen took the generals back to the Chinese army's tent.

Sitting in the camp tent, Li Zhen crossed Erlang's legs, looked at Yang Nengge and Lan Weiwen who were nervous, and then looked at the embarrassed and depressed Commander Adams, and asked, "Who is Your Excellency and what position do you hold?" ”

Adams replied, "Commander of the British fleet, Adams! ”

Li Zhen's eyebrows raised slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish. The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked, and he asked with a smile: "Your Excellency Adams, how do you feel about the failure of the coalition forces?" ”

Adams snorted and remained silent.

Li Zhen did not continue to entangle with Adams, and directly ordered: "Huang Shihai, find a British soldier, ask him to go back to the coalition army station to deliver a message, and let Ali Guo come to the camp to meet me." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Huang Shihai nodded in response, found a British soldier who could speak Chinese, and asked the British soldier to go back and deliver the message.

……

The Anglo-French army was stationed, in the tent.

The British Consul General in Shanghai, Ali Guo, and the French Consul in Shanghai, Eddie Edward, were talking, calmly and chicly. Ali Guo said with a smile: "Dear friend, what will be the scene after the Qing army is defeated and Li Zhen is captured?" ”

Aitang said: "According to the practice of the Qing Empire, he will kneel and beg for mercy. ”

"Get on your knees and beg for mercy! Yes, it is to kneel and beg for mercy. ”

Ali Guo laughed and said, "Li Zhen is a hardliner, stubborn, and must be rectified. Anyone who did not cooperate with the British Empire should be punished. ”

The corners of Aitang's mouth were hooked, and he said in his heart What if France does not cooperate with Britain?

This thought just flashed through him.

The two chatted with each other, talking freely about the arrangements after defeating the Qing army, and they had already shown that they were sure of victory. When the two were talking and laughing, the soldiers who came back from the Qing army camp to report the news ran into the tent, panting, and made a big phone call, and after saying the news of Adams's capture, he said: "Mr. Consul, Li Zhen, the general of the Qing army, invites you to go." ”

"What, it failed!"

Ali Guoden was stunned, his brain buzzing, and he became confused.

The same is true of Aitang, who did not expect the Anglo-French alliance to fail.

Ali Guo quickly recovered, and said calmly: "Li Zhen is too cunning, he guessed that we would send troops, and then laid an ambush and fought an ambush battle. Now Adams was captured, the soldiers were taken and had to make a trip. For the sake of the captured soldiers, I had to make compromises, otherwise the news would reach the country and the parliamentarians would find an excuse to attack me, which was really unlucky. ”

Aitang sighed and left the tent with Aliguo.

At this moment, Aitang even wondered if Ma Hui knew that he would fail, so he left.
