What was the outcome of the Boxer Rebellion in the battle to defend Tianjin?

Zhang Decheng led the "No. 1 Regiment in the World" among the Boxers to attack the concession. After many fierce tug-of-wars, Zhang Decheng's troops entered Majiakou, which was very close to the concession. It was like a steel knife on the neck of the invader, posing a great threat to the invading troops in the concession.

On July 6, the invading army conspired to attack Majiakou and remove the thorn in their side and flesh. After Zhang Decheng received the secret report, he immediately laid an ambush near Majiakou and set up a net to wait. As soon as the coalition forces entered the ambush circle, the Boxers attacked from all sides. The invading army was caught off guard and fell into chaos, unable to organize an effective counterattack. They scattered dozens of corpses and dispersed. Zhang Decheng led the Boxers to pursue the victory and reached the Zizhulin Concession.

The remaining enemies huddled in the concession and did not dare to show their faces. They also laid a large number of mines around the concession to block the Boxer Rebellion's attack. Zhang Decheng and other Boxer leaders spent a lot of thought on these landmines. Finally, someone came up with the clever idea of ??setting up the "Fire Bull Formation", and all the leaders immediately burst into laughter and were filled with admiration. The Boxers immediately followed the plan and found dozens of cows, tied oily wadding on the tails of the cows, lit them on fire, and drove the cows toward the concession. Dozens of cattle with their tails on fire ran towards the concession, not only clearing away the landmines laid by the enemy, but also igniting some of the foreign-style buildings where the invaders were hiding, making the invading troops scream and unable to resist. The Boxers took the opportunity to rush into the concession with shouts and once again severely punished the invaders.

The good news of the Boxers' bravery and tenacity and their successive victories has greatly inspired the patriotic people. Residents in Tianjin City have posted red paper slogans on the street gates with "The Divine Fist of Justice and Victory" to celebrate. Many people also sent victory cakes and mung bean soup to the Boxers to express their condolences.
