Although the Chinese army did not launch an attack during the day, the two ministers were still worried and afraid.

Although it was an ambush, the artillery of the New Army was not easy. The artillery fire of the British and French coalition forces was indeed sharp. The counterattack launched after a brief chaos caused great trouble to the New Army. In particular, the 105mm cannon on the flagship Prince of Wales was more and more accurate in strikes. After a volley, one of the artillery positions of the New Army were completely covered.

"Damn it, order the 155mm cannon battalion, and so the 120mm heavy mortar, all greet me the flagship that was the leader." Yang Yi soon discovered the flagship of the Combined Fleet. He had to hit the snake seven inches, and to capture the thief first. With this order, the Prince of Wales was hit by a catastrophic blow. The hull that could no longer move was a dead target. The dense and powerful shells kept exploding around it, and soon the Prince of Wales was beaten by

The artillery fire was flooded, and the fire was about to burn. Another dense fire fell on the ship of the Prince of Wales. Several huge loopholes were blown out of the hull. The hull began to inject a lot of water. Short stood calmly on the deck and issued various orders such as extinguishing fires, plugging leaks, and fighting back. The sailors on the ship were infected by Short's calmness and were all executing the orders in an orderly and quickly. The flagship caught fire, but they were still fighting back.

The other warships were excited. Seeing that the flagships were still issuing various orders, ordering these warships to keep trying to distance and fight back. Just as the British and French joint fleet was fighting back frantically and tenaciously, a 155mm cannon shell landed next to Short. Short had almost no reaction, and his head was cut off half by the explosion shrapnel. Subconsciously, his body struggled a few times, and then fell on the deck. Several sailors around Short were unable to do so.

All were spared by explosions and sent to the sky. The body was smashed by shells and splashed everywhere and scattered on the ship. Then another shell hit the main mast of the Prince of Wales. The huge mast broke and hit the deck hard. The Prince of Wales was completely paralyzed and lost all possible action. Short's death was immediately notified by the sailors in flag language. This news caused the fleet to fall into chaos at once. The flagship Prince of Wales had completely silenced.

The British Navy once again showed the momentum of the overlord at sea. The Queen's Battleship quickly hung up the order flag to command instead of the flagship, but the order flag brought another dense fire. Soon the Queen's Long Live was submerged in the artillery fire.

Twenty-five warships were hit to varying degrees in the last two hours of battle. Fifteen of them had been seriously tilted and lost the ability to continue fighting. The other ten were also greatly damaged and their firepower was greatly weakened. The French warship "Turun" in the joint fleet had already hung a white flag to express surrender. Once this move was made, the morale of the fleet was greatly hit, and the firepower of the counterattack became much smaller. The main mast of the Queen's battleship was blown away, and a shell fell on the pile of ammunition.

It triggered a huge explosion. After the hull was shaken violently, a thick smoke rose from the deck, and the entire warship began to sink. At this time, the French warship Marseille cruiser, the French warship at the tail end of the fleet, was hit by continuous shells, and the panicked sailors were no longer controlled and jumped into the water to escape the fire-covered warship. The Marseille slowly sank, completely blocking the waterway. The Combined Fleet was completely blocked in this section of the river and lost the opportunity to escape.

When the last warship also hung up the white flag, the joint fleet completely gave up its resistance, and the British and French forces lost the last straw to save their lives. The artillery battle lasted nearly three hours ended with the destruction of the joint fleet.

The new army also paid a heavy price for this victory. Nearly fifty mortars of various calibers were destroyed, more than ten 155mm cannons and 105mm howitzers were injured, and more than 800 people were killed or killed in the artillery troops. There were only a few 50 base cannons prepared. This was a happy victory, but also a heavy victory. With the explosion of the last shell, the extremely lively battlefield just now fell into silence. The New Army's artillery positions were in chaos, and the health officers were busy and stretchers were also

In and out, wooden boxes loaded with shells were thrown everywhere on the positions. When the coalition forces completely gave up their resistance, huge cheers erupted on the positions. "Victory, we are victorious." This was the first victory achieved by the Chinese army against foreign troops since the Opium War in 1840. It declared the beginning of Yang Yixin's army's dominance of Chinese history. It declared that a new force began to form a powerful figure in the world's army from then on, and also declared that anyone who dared to invade our China will end up miserably.

The huge sound of the artillery battle between the new army and the joint fleet was earth-shaking. The trapped coalition also heard the huge sound, and the earth kept shaking during the nearly three hours of battle. When the cannon sound subsided, the coalition and the ministers of various countries did not wait for the expected fleet. When it darkened again that day, the ministers fell into fear brought by complete despair.

The Chinese army did not conduct night shelling. The dead night made all coalition forces feel despair. The coalition forces in the dark dared not light anything that could bring light. This night was pitch black, and the coalition forces trapped in an unknown small village in Hebei, China could only watch the torches lit by the Chinese army in the distance.

"How could this happen?" Erkin kept muttering this sentence. He kept telling himself that none of this was true. Erkin spent the longest night after setting foot on Chinese territory while constantly muttering himself.

Groo hung his head and sat until dawn. Wei Lian and Putiyatin had long disappeared.

When the sky turned white again, a new day was unstoppable. Wei Lian and Putiyatin came to the new army's position early in the morning with white flags, first showing their identity, and saying that they were actually here to help mediate the war, and were friendly countries.

After seeing the shameless Wei Lian and Putiyatin leave, the British and French ministers made the most reluctant decision after a brief discussion - surrender. However, the two armies of the two countries have done a lot in the history of fighting against foreign troops. In their opinion, although surrender is not very decent, they can at least save a life.

Holding the white flag high and sending an orderly team, the coalition soldiers put down their weapons and lowered their shameful heads. Erjin brought the team to Yang Yi. After both sides saluted each other, Erjin handed over a sword that symbolized force. As a condition for surrender, it is necessary for the new army to ensure the safety of the surrendered soldiers and ensure that the soldiers can receive fair treatment. When Yang Yi heard the conditions proposed by the two ministers, Yang Yi showed a disgusting expression. Because he remembered the countless evil deeds recorded in later history of the coalition forces entering Beijing after entering Beijing. But Yang Yi still restrained the idea of ​​killing all these miscellaneous things. After all, China is a country of etiquette, China is an ancient civilization, and only animals can do things that the Chinese people disdain.

History has been completely changed here again due to the appearance of Yang Yi.

This time, the war started by Britain and France began in Guangzhou and ended in Hebei. More than 1,000 coalition forces died, more than 3,000 injured, and more than 3,000 surrendered. Three of the combined fleets were completely sunk, twenty-seven of them were stranded after being injured, and five of them surrendered after being injured.

The new army led by Yang Yi died in this battle with more than 300 victims and more than 500 injured. More than 60 guns were lost in various types.

Yang Yi's victory did not bring much joy to the Qing court, but instead increased their panic. In the eyes of some people, the Chinese army and foreigners would suffer greater revenge when they win.

When the news of victory reached Beijing, perhaps only Emperor Xianfeng was happy for a while. Soon the nobles of the Qing Dynasty began to slander Yang Yi from all angles, saying that he was ignorant of the generalities and provoked foreigners. Lin Zexu was like this back then. Some said that foreigners were like floods and should be dealt with by guidance, while others said that Yang Yi stationed troops in the capital with an intention of rebellion. The United States that fled to Beijing, the Russian envoy also continued to threaten Emperor Xianfeng, saying that Yang Yi's actions were extremely unfriendly, which would be frantically revenge by Britain and France. After a brief joy, Emperor Xianfeng fell into the quarrel between civil and military officials in the court. Amid the noise and threats, this cowardly emperor was once again confused.
