Yang Banhou led more than 1,500 elites and Li Xiucheng led 2,000 elites and rushed to Sanli Huai.
The two armies marched toward Half Moon Bay together and had been walking for more than four hours.
Zhang Sha looked calm and calm, but there was always a trace of nervousness in his eyes. He looked at the road ahead and found a slope on the road ahead. This slope was in the shape of an 'eight', which was an inverted eight.
The entrance below is narrow, but the further you go up, the wider it becomes. On both sides of the inverted slope are small slopes four meters high, and the road seems to be hollowed out from it.
Walking up the slope, you will find flat ground again.
Zhang Sha took a deep breath, walked to the side of the road, and then walked back.
The two armies marched, with the Taiping Army led by Zhang Sha walking in front, and the armies led by Adams and Russell following behind, one behind the other. Zhang Sha walked to the front of the foreign team, looked at Russell, and said in a deep voice: "
Commander Russell, there is a slope ahead. Up the slope is a flat and straight road. I plan to let the army go up the slope and rest where it is. After more than four hours of continuous driving, the soldiers are tired and need to take a breather.
OK."
Rael didn't understand and looked at the translator standing next to him.
After listening to the soldier's translation, Rael nodded and chirped, "Okay, let's rest on the slope."
After listening to what the foreign soldiers translated, Zhang Sha nodded, turned around and walked forward.
Entering the inverted slope, Zhang Sha shouted: "Speed up, you can rest where you are when you go up the slope, hurry up." After the words fell, the Taiping soldiers who were striding forward were all running faster with guns on their backs.
Rapid and messy footsteps sounded, and the soldiers rushed forward in one breath.
Adams shook his head, with a chuckle in his eyes.
The hiding place of the officers and soldiers is in Sanlihuai. There is nothing to be anxious about.
Rahel was not in a hurry and slowly led more than 2,000 soldiers into the inverted slope. He walked up the slope with his hands behind his back like a great man. Anyway, he had to rest when he went up the slope, so there was no need to rush for this little time. After a while.
Finally, Russell and Adams led the soldiers into the Bazi slope.
Zhang Sha chuckled, looked at the foreigners who were still climbing, and shouted: "Get ready!"
"Pah! Pah!!!"
Continuous sounds rang out, and Taiping soldiers jumped into a trench that had already been dug. They stood in the tunnel and pointed their guns at the foreigners who were climbing up the slope. This inverted slope was the ambush site Li Xiucheng was looking for.
.Before this, Li Xiucheng wanted to use fire attacks, flooding, etc., but it was spring, the fire was difficult to burn, and the floods could not flood the place.
In desperation, Li Xiucheng could only find a place to set up an ambush.
However, Li Xiucheng was also well prepared and had to ensure that Zhang Sha led his troops in front, otherwise the large hole dug on the slope would be encountered by Adams' men and exposed.
Zhang Sha led the soldiers up the slope first. The soldiers occupied the commanding heights and had a geographical advantage.
Moreover, the slope is an inverted shape, so it is easy to enter, but it is more difficult to exit in a rush. Rahel did not notice the situation on the hillside, and was still looking around at the hillsides a few meters high on both sides, admiring them leisurely.
The sky was blue and the clouds were white. When Adams saw the soldiers above him getting shorter, he thought it was the Taiping Army who had sat down and did not delve into the problem.
"shot!"
Zhang Sha roared, jumped into the trench and opened fire.
"Bang! Bang!!!"
Suddenly, a series of gunshots rang out.
Adams and Russell were also soldiers, and they instinctively fell to the ground when they heard the sound. Even so, Russell's right thigh was shot again, also on the inner thigh, almost hitting a key part. Adams was not walking
He was at the front, so he also lay on the ground. He only suffered a little pain from the fall, but was not injured.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Russell looked surprised and yelled loudly.
Zhang Sha didn't care, he just wanted to kill the foreigners on the hillside, and shouted: "Brothers, foreigners are killing people and killing my brothers. They are all bastards who deserve to be killed. Beat me, beat me hard."
"
Continuous gunshots came and went.
When the bullets were fired, the foreigners immediately became living targets and were hit by the bullets one after another.
The burly and tall bodies of the foreigners fell on the slope and rolled down the slope one after another. The densely packed foreigners stood in the middle of the slope, and the slope became narrower and narrower. The further down, the more crowded the slope became.
The bright red blood soon overflowed on the slope and dyed the ground red.
Adams looked at the dead soldiers and was so angry that his eyes were splitting. He shouted: "You have been tricked, retreat immediately!" At this moment, Adams regretted it and knew that he had been deceived by Li Xiucheng. This was not a coalition at all, it was intentional.
The one who attracted the coalition soldiers here was Russell who didn't stand up. He lay on the ground with his hands on the ground, like a toad, using his hands to support himself and retreat.
"Ouch"
A retreating British soldier stepped on Rahel's calf in a hurry. Although he didn't break his leg, it caused him to scream in pain. His right leg was injured and he couldn't stand up. In addition,
Bullets were flying everywhere, and Russell didn't dare to stand up.
Adams was too busy to care for himself and could only hope that Rachel would be okay.
"Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, soldiers appeared on the hillside at the entrance to the inverted slope.
These people shot indiscriminately on the slope, causing the retreating foreigners to fall one after another. The Taiping Army on the hillside was an ambush set by Li Xiucheng long ago and had been waiting. There was someone at the entrance under the inverted slope.
Shootings were fired to block the road, and some people fired indiscriminately on the hillside, blocking the foreigners inside and turning them into sandwich biscuits.
As Adams watched the waves falling, he shouted: "Quick, rush out of the slope, rush out."
The Taiping Army's firepower was fierce, and some foreigners had already rushed out.
Adams also rushed out under the protection of soldiers.
Russell had closed his eyes and was waiting to be captured, but he didn't expect a French soldier to carry him and rush out of the slope without any danger. However, many soldiers were still blocked in the slope and could only be shot. Two of them were shot.
More than a thousand British and French troops lost more than 600 people in just a few minutes. By the time the coalition soldiers rushed out, most of them were dead and wounded, leaving only more than 600 people out of 2,000.
Such a tragic situation made Adams and Rachel sad.
Zhang Sha seized the opportunity and shouted: "The foreigners have been defeated, come on!"
As he spoke, Zhang Sha had already climbed out of the trench with his gun and rushed down the slope quickly. Seeing this, the rest of the Taiping soldiers launched a charge and began to beat the drowned dogs. Although these Taiping soldiers were elite, they turned out to be
It was the common people who became as brave and capable as they are today only under Li Xiucheng's training. They were very angry when they knew that foreigners were massacring common people.
This pursuit was like using all the energy to catch up.
Adams, Russell and their soldiers kept running back, while Zhang Sha and his troops pursued them.
At this moment, the coalition soldiers had become the loser dogs that everyone was shouting for. When both sides were chasing each other and running away, neither of them noticed that an army was slowly approaching and surrounding the battlefield.
