In the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, British and French allied forces invaded China from the sea, and riots broke out in the capital. Ten miles away from Yuanmingyuan, there is a village called Xie Zhuang. The whole village is Orion. One of them is Feng, a native of Shandong, who is proficient in martial arts. His daughter Wan Zhen, 19 years old, has a beautiful figure and good looks. She loved martial arts since she was a child, and she learned everything and was not proficient.
This year, Xie Zhuang founded the villagers' self-defense organization "Yong Lian". Because Feng is brave and knows a lot of martial arts, everyone chooses him as the captain. The villagers built fortifications such as stone walls and earthen castles in dangerous places, and erected banners with the words "Xie Zhuang Yong Ying Feng".
At this time, the enemy has approached Shizhai, and the sound of guns is deafening. The people in the stockade curled up and lay there motionless. Soon, the enemy approached. Seeing that this battle was an opportunity, Feng quickly waved the flag and said, "Fire!" Fire, that's the order of the army to fire. So all the guns fired at the same time, and the enemy fell off his horse like fallen leaves. When the enemy's gun fired again, the people in the stockade fell on the ground like ducks. This is a wall as a cover. After attacking for a while, the enemy retreated, and Feng was very happy.
Why don't we use our strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses, attack quickly like apes and fight bravely like birds with knives and shields, and maybe we can avoid this disaster. Feng said: "Counting all our villagers, only one hundred people are proficient in martial arts. What's the difference between letting such a small number of people throw themselves into a powerful enemy group? Little girls shouldn't talk too much. "
Feng Wanzhen sighed slightly and said, "Our village is almost finished! I must do my best to save our village. " So she called together Xie Zhuang teenagers who were proficient in martial arts and encouraged them to say, "Instead of waiting for death, how can we compare with Xie Zhuang who rose up against the enemy to save us?" ? If you don't mean it, forget it. If there is, just listen to my command. "Everyone cheered excitedly.
So, Feng Wanzhen set out with a group of young people, all dressed in black and with knives, running as fast as apes. Four miles from the village, there is a big forest with dense shade, which blocks the sun, so they lie in ambush there. Before long, the enemy really came with artillery, about five or six hundred people. Wan Zhen jumped off his sword and led everyone to attack the enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy was very panicked. He used the bayonet on his gun to fight, but he was not as light, agile, brave and brave as the young people in China headed by Feng Wanzhen.
Feng Wanzhen slashed with a steel knife, and none of the people who fought with her fell, and the enemy retreated. Feng Wanzhen shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen! The enemy wants to drive us far away and destroy us with guns. Catch up quickly, don't miss the opportunity! " So the teenagers tried their best to intercept the fleeing enemy, and the two sides were mixed together and mixed together, but the enemy's guns and firearms could not be opened. At sunset, more than one hundred enemy soldiers were killed or injured. The remaining enemy had to throw down the cannon and run for their lives. Xie Zhuang was saved.

Xianfeng Gengshen, British and French troops invaded from the sea, Luo Jing Sao Ran. Ten miles away from Yuanmingyuan, there is a village called Xie Zhuang. The residents around the village are Orion. Among them, Lu Feng is a brave warrior. Female Wan Zhen, 19 years old, looks graceful, has been practicing martial arts since childhood, and has learned all kinds of skills. That year, Xie Zhuang organized a delegation with the aim of three guarantees, daring to fight and being versatile. Build stone piers and earth castles at strategic passes and set your own route. One day at noon, "Xie Zhuangyong Ying Feng" was sent to spy on the enemy. I saw a white chief commanding about 100 Indian soldiers, and the British generals rushed forward.
The members of the Sambo Circle were armed with live ammunition, but they didn't make any mistakes. They said, "It was careless of this enemy to fire, and it was useless to me. Be careful! " When the enemy was near the village, the gunfire was loud and the people in the village curled up badly. Seeing the enemy gaining momentum, Sambo waved a flag and said, "Fire!" Shooter, the number of guns in the army is also. So all the guns were fired and the enemy fell like leaves. When the enemy's guns came again, the people in the fence fell down again and the wall was used as a cover. After attacking for a while, the enemy retreated and Sambo was complacent.
Wan Zhen suddenly said, "The small enemy will go, and the big enemy will come and set up guns. Is our village dusty? " Sanbao Quran said, "What are your plans?" Wan Zhen said, "Westerners have long firearms and short skills. Firearms are good at attacking far, and they are good at street fighting. My village is 10 mile plain, but how can we win its weapons? What's more, we can attack the enemy with our strengths and weaknesses, wield a knife and hold a shield, attack the enemy, or avoid it? " Sambo said, "I know there are only one hundred skilled soldiers in our village. Only 100 people, we will join the great enemy and fight it. What's the difference between throwing a lonely sheep at a pack of wolves?
The little girl doesn't talk much. Wan Zhen sighed slightly: "My village is dead. I will do my best to save my village. " So I gathered the martial arts of Xie Zhuang teenagers and wrote: "Who should get up and save instead of waiting for death?" You have no intention; If you are interested, you can look forward to the horse's head. "Everyone is very excited. Wan Zhen then led the teenagers out, all dressed in mysterious white blades and as sick as apes. The village is surrounded by forests, and the sun is covered by shadows. Soon, the enemy soldiers arrived, covering five or six hundred people. Stand up with the blade and lead the crowd to attack it.
The enemy was greatly surprised and uneasy, and fought with the bayonet on the gun, but it was convenient and fierce to catch. Wan Zhen fought bravely to kill the enemy, invincible, but the enemy was losing ground. Wan Zhen shouted, "gentlemen! The enemy is far away from me and wants to trap me with firearms. I am so anxious to lose it! " So everyone tried their best to scratch, confuse each other and kill each other, but the enemy's gun could not be opened. At dusk, hundreds of people were killed, and the enemy abandoned his gun and fled. Xie Zhuang is in Sui 'an.
