The hail-like shells did not pour out on the British Kenyan Legion that charged forward, but were first spilled on the heads of the British officers and soldiers who were still following far behind.

The Kenyan Legion's artillery team, who were busy rushing forward, hoped to attack their army brothers soon and provide enough artillery support, naturally became the hardest hit area.

The artillery fire of the Red Army was fierce. Amid the unprecedented earth-shaking and dense explosions of the British army, the officers and soldiers of the British Kenyan Legion were not only blown up by people's flying cannons, but also as if an abyss that cost people's lives was dug out behind them.

Despite this, the officers and soldiers of the British Kenyan Legion did not disappoint their General Robert Napier.

After a burst of confusion and fear, those who were rushing ahead who were not hit by any blows were still able to maintain a strict British charge, as if they had agreed to their opponent's encouraging style of play, and continued to start their advance towards their goals.

But the good times did not last long. As the British army gradually approached the trench excavated by the Red Army in front of him, another group of Red Army artillery fire participated in this thunderous chorus.

Mortars and grenade launchers of the Red Third Division regiments also began to roar...

In September 1860, only sixteen miles away from the so-called "Qing Empire" capital, which was a great so-called "Qing Empire" with a very big tail, a place called Baliqiao, not long ago, had already taken the gateway to the "Qing Empire" - Dagukou in Tianjin, and was heading towards its heart - the coalition officers and soldiers of the British and French Empires, who continued to advance rapidly in the capital. They once gave a vivid modern military education class to the army of the "Qing Empire" who was also known as a mighty army.

Faced with the intensive firefighting of infantry from the British Empire and the French Empire coalition forces in trenches, and the overwhelming bombardment of the shovels fired by the artillery team, the mighty army of the "Qing Empire" who was equipped with extremely backward, had also performed their own glory with their spears, bows and arrows in their hands, and their passion.

"The shells and bullets cannot completely destroy them. The cavalry seemed to be reborn from the ashes. They were so tenacious that they would for a moment desperately rush to a place only thirty meters away from the cannon. Our cannons continued and repeatedly fired, and the shells were speeding around their left and right, and they fell in the artillery fire..."

When the British and French Allied Forces used large-caliber artillery to deal with the ambush Qing army that fought to defend Bali Bridge to the death, and finally occupied Bali Bridge. When the Qing army was already everywhere on the bridge, the remaining officers and soldiers of the "Qing Empire" who jumped into the positions of the British and French Allied Forces were still unwilling to lose their will.

"The Bali Bridge became the most moving scene of the day. The Qing cavalry who were still fighting in the morning have now disappeared without a trace. This bridge is a great monument created by ancient civilization. The gorgeously dressed cavalry waved flags on the bridge path and fought back without any cover with a kind of fire that was powerless to our cannons and artillery."

It was indeed a heroic scene, but it was also an extremely tragic scene.

Under the leadership of the "Sage" and "Holy Mother" of the "Qing Empire" who wisely led everyone to practice gardens and have fun in the world, when strong enemies come to the door, the brave people could only use their flesh and blood to build a great wall to defend against the enemy.

This scene that happened in 1860 was of course impossible to happen.

However, in the vast wilderness that is only more than ten miles away from Nairobi, this scene that has happened in history has been replicated in General Robert Napier and his Kenyan Legion officers and soldiers.

The artillery shells falling like hail by the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can destroy the bodies of groups of British officers and soldiers of the Kenyan legion, but cannot blow up their will.

Amid the roar of shells, in the rolling smoke and dust swept across the sky, as long as the British officers and soldiers who could still stand up would not care about wiping the blood on their bodies, they would cross the bodies of their companions all over the ground and continue to move forward without hesitation...

Until the trench opposite, the rifle bullets swept towards them like windy rifles, and the locust-like grenades that were denser than the shells that were still exploding behind them, and there was no more people among them who could climb up from the ground.

In this way, despite escaping the punishment of the first round of heavy artillery fire of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army, General Robert Napier's Kenyan Legion's stormtroopers collapsed one after another, one after another, tragically before the trenches dug by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army soldiers.

Like the mighty army of the "Qing Empire", in this extremely bad situation, General Robert Napier not only did not realize that he had made an irreparable mistake in strategy, but instead took out his last family, the elite cavalry regiment of 800 people.

When one infantry charge after another had already become churning waves on the cliff, General Robert Napier actually fantasized about using a mere cavalry regiment to take advantage of the chaos to achieve the goal of breaking through and finding and destroying the incredible heavy artillery group owned by the Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the same time.

So, for honor and dignity, the cavalry of the British Empire, who were not gorgeously dressed, rushed into the fire net set up by the heavy artillerymen of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom without any obstacles.

Needless to say, the brave and fearless cavalry could not fulfill General Robert Napier's dream, but would be flooded by the bullet rains of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Army in amid the unyielding shouts.

However, the British officers and soldiers who were placed on both wings of his Kenyan Legion were not as stubborn as General Robert Napier and his Kenyan Legion officers and soldiers.

When the Red Army's heavy artillery began to roar, these British officers and soldiers who had more or less tasted the powerful Red Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were already ignorant.

When they saw the first bombardment of the Red Army's catastrophic heavy artillery, they could not escape another Red Army artillery fire net that suddenly rose up. Although the charge of the Kenyan Legion who had finally drilled out finally fell before the trench dug by the Red Army, no one needed to issue orders, they had already begun to flee to Nairobi like a tide...
