On August 20, 186c, the British and French invading forces attacked Dagu for the third time and surrounded the Dagu Fort like an iron barrel.
The enemy was fiercely attacking the city, and only a few dilapidated cannons remained in the battery. The defenders fought the enemy with rudimentary **. His own soldier Xie Heizi was fighting fiercely, and suddenly a deputy general conveyed an order to him: "Lord Le passed on your words!."”
Kuroko walks into cover. Admiral Le Shan poured a glass of wine and handed it to Kuroko: "Drink it up!."You take five brothers to break through the siege, and meet Lord Seng Lingqin to convey my words, wait for reinforcements to arrive for a long time, and I, Le Mou, and 2,000 subordinates have been martyred!”
Kuroko thought that he would never see Admiral Le again in the future, and couldn't help but cry and kneel.
Another group of enemy soldiers rushed in, and General Le raised his sword and shouted: "Brothers, swear to defend the land of the Qing Dynasty to the death, sacrifice your life for the country, and die as you deserve!""The soldiers fought off the enemy for a while.
There was a sudden silence on the battlefield. When the enemy soldiers retreated, seven or eight cannons were aimed at the wall of the Dagu Fort, all in unison. Smoke and dust billowed and many soldiers were shot and fell.
Shells kept flying, and the powder magazine was hit. With a loud bang, the wall was blown down, and the sunspot who rushed to the door of the fort was swept out of the fort by the air wave and passed out.
The enemy soldiers rushed into the gap for the second time and swarmed up. The fort was covered with blood and corpses. Seeing the loss of the fort, General Le killed himself in grief.
Night. In the ditch outside the fort, there were lying corpses, and Kuroko got up from a pool of blood and staggered west.
Monk Lingqin was the chief general in command of the defense of this area, stationed in Dagu City. Heizi came to the camp of Dagu monk Greenqin, who knew that there was no one, and Monk Greenqin had already retreated with the horses and soldiers.
Kuroko wandered around on crutches, but he couldn't find the troops who contained him. Later, after passing through a small village, an old man took him in, and he had to return to his hometown Xie Zhuang after a few days.
In the cool autumn, it was almost noon, and the sunspot finally came to Beijing. At this time, the British and French troops approached the city, and the people of the city were panicked.
Kuroko was walking on the street, and suddenly heard someone shouting: "Brother Kuroko, why did you get to this step?".Looking back, it turned out to be Feng Sanbao, a hunter from Tongzhuang who went to Beijing to deliver hunting flavors, and his nineteen-year-old daughter Wanzhen.
They enter a small hotel, and Sanbao asks about Kuroko's experience, and Kuroko is silent for a while, and suddenly unbuttons his chest, revealing scars.
In this month of wandering, I have seen a lot of tragic things. Foreign devils burn the house when they see it, kill people when they see it, and rob girls when they see them. Some people were afraid of robbing grain and burned down their own granaries;Some people are afraid of humiliating their wives and daughters and killing their relatives!”
Heizi said sadly: "We have too many soft bones, and in the battle of Bali Bridge, as soon as the soldiers were handed over, the officers who led the troops fled first." At this time, the emperor slipped to Rehe. Look at the big officials in the city, how many can there be at home?”
There happened to be an official sedan chair outside the window to get out of the city, and Sanbao scolded fiercely: "What's so terrible about foreign devils?"The world is over in the hands of this gang of moths!”
The state has no hope!Kuroko sighed. Feng Wanzhen said coldly: "No hope?."Why don't you run away with Monk Grinqin?Or simply get down on your knees and bow to the foreign devils?”
What are these words?I'm still Chinese!"That's right!The officials have run away, and our people are here!Tell the foreign devils to taste the power of our Xie Zhuang hunting fork musket!”
The shopkeeper came up with soup and vegetables, and said, "Just a village to block foreign devils?"I'm afraid it won't work!I heard that there was a village on the edge of Tianjin Wei that killed a devil, and the village was killed so that there was not a single living person left. ”
If you don't resist, you die, and if you resist, it's just death, and you can only do this with them!Sanbao said heartily.
On the way home, they rested in a wooded area five miles away from Xie Zhuang. The sound of drums and trumpets was heard in the distance, and Sanbao listened carefully for a while, and then fell to his feet again and again and said, "It's not good!."Cao Zhuang called the devil to occupy it!”
When they returned to the village, Heizi's father, Xie Shouchun, the owner of Xie Village, took out the grain reminder sent by the British army: "Fifty stone of rice will be handed over within five days, and the violators will be razed!"”
The village elders discussed countermeasures overnight and unanimously decided: set up a militia group, do not hand over grain and grass, and fight with foreign devils. Feng Sanbao was promoted to the leader of the People's League.
Feng Sanbao is strong in martial arts and is the leader of Xie Zhuang's hunting. That night, he ordered troops and deployed everyone to stick to Xie Zhuang. He arranged for Feng Wanzhen and the women in the village to rescue the wounded, so that they did not have to go into battle.
In fact, Feng Wanzhen is not only skilled in swordsmanship, but also has heard Shouchun's grandfather talk about a lot of ancient books, she knows that her father looks down on her, but she is still not discouraged, and goes to visit Heizi.
Wanzhen asked Kuroko to tell the story of how the enemy used heavy artillery to collapse the wall of the Dagu Fort, and secretly thought to herself: "Then, won't you be able to win the battle if you break the enemy's artillery?"”
She asked tentatively, "Look, my father's method of defending the city... Kuroko smiled faintly: "Zhai Xiaoli is weak, what better way is there to do it?"”
The next day, according to the order of Sanbao, the regiments set up stone villages around the village and built stone forts at dangerous intersections.
The one hundred and three hunters in the village moved. Young people practice martial arts, old people repair guns, sharpen knives, and weave shields, and children take turns to guard at the intersection of Siyao Road under the leadership of Wanzhen's younger brother Xiaoshun.
The embroidery skillful Jiao Na and the black sister chick embroidered an apricot yellow flag for the people. The stitches are fine and beautiful, and Wanzhen can't help but shout when she looks at it.
Jiao Na smiled and said: "Our embroidery needle ** is comparable to your mandarin duck double knife, Sanbao's family" will go out of the tiger, but it's a pity that it's a woman!”
The chick said, "Sister Feng, okay!."You didn't see that Zhuge Liang was long and Zhuge Liang was short in her mouth. She also asked my brother to talk about the battle of Dagu several times!”
Grandpa Shouchun happened to come in and said, "Women can also be generals." Mulan, Mu Guiying, and Liang Hongyu are all of them. The word "Feng" on the banner may be our Wanzhen!Wanzhen smiled shyly. Although it was a joke, it hit her heart.
Three days later, the fortifications were completed, and Sanbao invited Grandpa Shouchun and others to inspect them one by one. After reading the last stone castle, Sanbao said proudly: "Now Xie Zhuang is solid. Fire attack, the forest is too far away;Water attack, there is no Daze nearby, even if it has soldiers all over the mountains, I have enough gunpowder**!
Grandpa Shouchun stroked his beard and didn't speak. Wanzhen glanced at him and said a few words to his ear. Grandpa Shouchun borrowed a pair of chess pieces from a few resting group members and said to Sanbao: "Come, do a fight!"”
Sanbao's chess skills are not high, and he was checkmated to death by Shouchun's grandfather with a cannon in three or two strokes, and he shouted: "Cannon, cannon, your cannon is too powerful!."Wanzhen hurriedly said: "Dad, the cannon of the foreign devil must be guarded against." Pure defense will be suffocated by artillery!”
Grandpa Shouchun stood up and said, "Miss Wanzhen is reasonable. Sanbao said to Wanzhen: "What do you say?""I'm thinking about it, but I haven't figured it out yet. "Hey, you haven't been in a battle yet, what good ideas can you come up with!Sanbao said loudly.
The angry Sanbao reprimanded Wanzhen so much that she shed tears, and Gu Zi left. Grandpa Shouchun was busy to consol. At noon on the third day, smoke and dust billowed from the east. "Ah, the foreign devil is here!The little obedient tree detected it and hurriedly reported it.
When the British captain Ansun heard that Xie Zhuang refused to hand over grain and grass, he immediately brought a company of Indian soldiers to the levy. He saw the apricot yellow flag fluttering in the sky above the village through the binoculars, and he was so angry that he jumped like thunder, and shouted: "Forward!."”
There were still sixty or seventy zhang from Zhuangzi, and An Sun ordered: "Shoot!.""Bullets rained down on the village at once. After the gunshots, Xie Zhuang was still dead silent.
Behind the earthen fort, Feng Sanbao put the gun aside, lit the dry tobacco pipe, and looked at the entrance of the cave without leaving the earthen fort for a moment. The group also calmly waited for his order.
Xie Zhuang's calm made Ansun wonder. He ordered to stop the advance and fired at Xie Zhuang again.
There was still no sound in the village, and Ansun said in her stomach: "It turned out to be an empty shelf, and the people have long run out!."He gave the order to charge.
Feng Sanbao looked at the foreign robbers who pounced like a tiger and a wolf, and gritted his teeth loudlyBut he was shouting in his heart: "Closer, when they get closer and the British army runs to a distance of fourteen or fifteen zhang from Shizhai, Feng Sanbao waved a red flag and shouted: "*."
Nearly 200 shotguns were fired at once, and the sound of gunfire shook the mountains. Killed a dozen invading troops at once. Ansun hurriedly dismounted, and ordered the Indian soldiers to use the grass, stumps, and stones as cover, and continued to shoot at Xie Zhuang.
Feng Sanbao ordered the group to lie down and hide, only to hear bullets whizzing past the wall. The two sides couldn't hold each other, Wanzhen secretly found the sharpshooter Wancai, pointed to Ansun, and Wancai said excitedly: "Okay, look at me." ”
Ansun crouched behind a horse corpse to command, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, there was a "boom", which blew up one of his palms, and blood spurted out. The Indian soldiers lost their command, left behind more than two dozen corpses, and fled in a hurry.
Sanbao let out a long breath of relief and put the red flag in his hand to the side. Xiang Wanzhen said, "How is it, your father didn't break the battle, right?"”
Wan Cai jumped out of the stone village at once, took off the steel gun on the corpse of the Indian soldier, and happily wrenched it, and with a "whew", the bullet screamed and flew into the sky.
Xiaoshun and a few children put on British hats and ran and frolicked. Nowhere can you find sunspots. It turned out that he knelt down alone and used the enemy's head to sacrifice the brothers who died in Dagu.
Suddenly, a rapid bell rang, and the group rushed back to the village, it turned out that it was Feng Wanzhen who rang the bell, and she was anxious to tell everyone what she thought. She said: "The bandits' brigade is stationed in Caozhuang, nine miles away, and they will have to take revenge in a while!."”
As soon as Sanbao heard the reason, he immediately ordered the group to re-enter their posts. Wanzhen said, "Dad!."What about the enemy dragging artillery?Can our shotgun compare to others?The walls as thick as the Dagu Fort were also broken .........
Don't shake the morale of the army!We will die on this land. "Dad, why do we have to die by ourselves when we fight foreign devils?""Stop messing around!".Sanbao turned around and walked to the position and shouted to everyone: "Defend tightly, don't relax!."”
Wanzhen was left alone under the big locust tree, and she remembered that since her mother died, her father pulled her to grow up. Now, the enemy is current, and my father is so angry that he can't keep Zhuangzi.
She picked up a stick of firewood and grass and drew it on the ground, she drew the stone village and earth fort in Xie Zhuang, and also drew the road outside the village, and the woods... She's summing it up. Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed.
She returned to her room and took out her beloved mandarin duck double knife. With a wave of his hand, he broke a branch of the jujube tree outside the door. Her resolve was made.
She came to all parts of the Shizhai bunker, called dozens of young men who were proficient in martial arts such as Wancai to the ancestral hall, and said excitedly: "The muzzle of the foreign devil's cannon is already aimed at our Xie Zhuang, instead of sitting in the village to defend it, it is better to fight for a while!."”
Everyone asked how to spell it. Wanzhen replied: "Zhuge Liang fights, and the most he uses is to ambush him and catch him off guard. "Okay, dig a trap at the entrance of the village?.""Ride the night to touch their camp?The crowd began to talk about it.
Wanzhen listened, thought, and finally said her opinion. A hairy young man asked: "The head of the regiment blames, who is the top?"Wanzhen said calmly, "Me." ”
After a while, they changed into black clothes, held the white swaying waist knife, sneaked out of the gate of the village, and ran towards Caozhuang. Xiaoshun pretended to be a child herding sheep and drove the two goats away first.
Suddenly, someone behind him flew and spurred the horse, shouting to catch up, it turned out to be Grandpa Shouchun and Kuroko. Grandpa Shouchun stopped them, Wanzhen knelt in front of Grandpa Shouchun, and said, "Owner, in order to keep our village, the only way to take the risk is to take the enemy's cannons." If you can't come back tonight, the owner of the village tells the father, and says that the child is .........She cut off a handful of green silk from herself.
Grandpa Shouchun clenched his fists with both hands, and the old tears were crisscrossing, and he waved to the young people: "The safety of my village is in this battle, I am not here to stop you, but to see you off!."He pushed the sunspot beside him and said, "Go, don't go now, and wait when!"”
couldn't go far, and someone shouted behind him, it turned out to be Jiaona and Xiaoniu. They also changed into light clothes and had to follow suit. Wanzhen agreed, and led them to the jungle-hidden position.
Besides, Ansun returned to Caozhuang with the remnants of the defeated army to meet his boss, Lieutenant Colonel Wallsley. Walsley roared like thunder and swore to set foot on Xie Zhuang.
A team of five or six hundred people walked on the road from Caozhuang to Xiezhuang. Walsley himself and the cannon lined up in the middle.
He asked a platoon of spearheads to explore the way first. The spearhead entered the woods forty or fifty meters, and heard a sound of knowledge, and the spearhead platoon immediately fanned outflanked it.
I searched for a long time, but I found two goats. The spearhead came back and reported that all was well. Walsley immediately ordered to go. When the team was finished, Xiao Shun came out of his hiding place and lit the stacks of firewood. The wind immediately blew smoke into the woods.
Walsley's troops were walking deep into the forest, and the black smoke was obscuring the sunlight between the leaves, and the forest was pitch black.
It was too late, but it was too late, and a group of black-clothed people suddenly jumped down from the tree, and Feng Wanzhen was the first. She wielded her mandarin duck knife and slashed two soldiers at once. At this time, an earth-shaking gong and drum sound sounded in the forest, as if the mountains were full of people and horses.
Wanzhen pointed at Walsley and shouted, "This bearded man is a big official!."Wancai and Kuroko went straight to Walsley, who turned his horse's head and left.
The front team and the rear team didn't know what was going on in the middle, so they desperately squeezed into the middle, and the middle ones spread out on both sides, and the road in the forest was narrow, and hundreds of people were like ants on a hot pot in the dark, and the warriors took advantage of the situation to slash and kill.
The sound of killing shook the forest. Kuroko stared at Walsley, who was squeezed off his horse by the frightened soldiers.
Kuroko slashed over one, and when he saw that it wasn't Walsley, he slashed another one. No, he danced the seven-star sword and rushed into the enemy group alone, and the enemy immediately surrounded him. Guns and knives intersected, blood splattered.
Wancai wanted to rescue Kuroko, but was entangled by two enemies, Wancai shouted, slashed one, and turned around and grabbed the barrel of the other gun.
Jiaona was forced to a big tree by a tall devil, but she was not afraid, leaned her back against the tree, and resisted with all her might. Feng Wanzhen hurriedly came to help and killed the enemy.
Kuroko stared at Wallesley**, he ignored his scarred and bloody, and used his last strength to slash Walsley's shoulder. He finally couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground and died.
Wallsley covered his wounds and ordered: "Retreat immediately!".As the smoke cleared, Wallsley saw a small clearing on the side of the forest road, and immediately ordered the team to gather there. Feng Wanzhen saw it and hurriedly shouted: "Catch up, break them up, and don't let the devils shoot!."”
Xie Zhuang's heroes plunged into the British army and fought with their swords. Walsley wanted to give the order several times, but he was afraid of hurting his own people and finally gave up.
Wan Cai and the others stared at Walsley again, and several cold and shining knives flew around him, and he felt his nerves burst, and fled into the woods screaming.
The British army lost its command, and was in a chaotic situation with only the momentum of parrying, and had no offensive power. Night gradually fell, and bursts of gunfire suddenly sounded in the direction of Xie Zhuang, and Sanbao received a report from the chick, and the villagers responded.
The enemy finally broke up. The corpses of more than a hundred robbers and two howitzers were left in the woods. Wancai caught the wounded Walsley from the depths of the woods.
Wanzhen stood in front of Kuroko's body, leaned down, and wiped the blood from his body.
She walked over to the captured cannon again, and Sanbao came to her daughter apologetically. Wanzhen stroked the shiny muzzle of the cannon and said, "Dad, let's put it at the entrance of the village, and when the devil comes again, let them eat a cannonball."
More than a hundred years have passed. People will always remember the battle of Xie Zhuang and the girl of Orion, Feng Wanzhen.
