Monk Qin can be said to be the last pillar and the last valiant soldier of the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners Army. He was a famous patriotic general in the history of the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, he was the king of Horqin County in Mongolia, Prince Katai of Badala, or the monk king for short.

He led Mongolian cavalry in the Second Opium War and the Second Battle of Dagukou, defeated the British-French allied fleet and annihilated more than 500 British-French allied troops.

In this battle, Sengqin skillfully took advantage of the terrain and the river was narrow. After the British and French allied warships went deep into the river, they could not turn around. They took advantage of the artillery superiority on both sides of the strait and gave them a beating. With proper strategy and tactics, they gave a beating to the British and French allied forces who were not familiar with the road. Finally, the US Navy sent out to rescue them.

In the subsequent defence of Baliqiao, the troops led by Sang Linqin ended in a fiasco, representing the most tragic scene of cold weapons versus hot weapons.

This battle reminds me of The Last Samurai in Hollywood movies. Japanese samurai fought against western muskets with spears and broadswords, and beat stones with eggs, which was extremely tragic. On September 2 1 65438,860, the British and French allied forces opened the way with cavalry, and then the British and French artillery soldiers launched a general attack on Baliqiao in three ways.

Sang Linqin's Mongolian cavalry, waiting for an opportunity, attacked the camp of the British and French allied forces from the mountain like tigers, trying to tear it apart and surround it. Monk's troops were mostly equipped with spears, broadswords, bows and arrows, while the British-French Coalition forces were equipped with the most advanced rifles and breeches in the world at that time, which violently bombarded Monk's troops. After the gunfire, they fired accurately.

In the face of the enemy's extremely tragic artillery fire, the Qing army did not retreat, and fell under the enemy's guns one by one, which was terrible. The marble of Baliqiao was shattered and scattered by British and French artillery fire, causing a large number of casualties to the Qing army.

The Qing army vowed to die, and there were waves of deaths, and many companies were collectively killed. At that time, the British and French Coalition forces used the most advanced breech guns in the killing. This kind of gun is called Armstrong gun, which has been used in 1 world war, and it is very powerful.
