Guan Tianpei —— In January, 1841, British troops attacked the batteries of Humen Town and Weiyuan. Guan Tianpei is stationed here, and Serenade is helpless. Finally, in the face of the British troops surrounded, Guan Tianpei told his subordinate Sun Changqing to take the prefect seal out of the fort, and with the fearless courage of "people are in the position", he guarded the fort and "did not move like a mountain". In the end, because he was outnumbered, he was chopped by the British army. After killing several British troops, he was shot and died unfortunately.

Chen Huacheng-In 1842, British warships invaded the Yangtze River estuary, and Chen Huacheng personally commanded the battery to fire the first shot. Two and a half hours after the battle began, Chen Huacheng's troops hit the British ship at least dozens of times. On the second day, Chen Huacheng was surrounded by the British army because the flanking defenders defected. At the last moment of his life, Chen Huacheng still directed the fire attack, and the cannon injured his hand. General Chen Huacheng didn't fall until he was hit by the bullet from the seventh shot of the British army.

Hailing-After the fall of Wusong in 1842, the British army pushed Zhenjiang. At that time, he was in charge of stationing in Zhenjiang. Hailing led the defenders in the heroic war of resistance, and the British army invested 2w troops to storm. In the end, Hai Ling's 8 defenders were outnumbered ... He was seriously injured and still insisted on fighting. At the last moment of his life, Hai Ling was still shouting "I would rather commit suicide than surrender!" Hai Ling finally jumped into the fire pit and died heroically. Engels said this when commenting on the battle of Zhenjiang: "If they encounter such resistance everywhere, they will never reach Nanjing!"
