The squadron leader of the Indian cavalry is a bit of a middle two, because even the Indians who don't use paper to go to the toilet have noticed the abnormality, and he is still determined to chase the mosquitoes to the death. The result, of course, was very happy, and they followed the mosquitoes and crashed headlong into the infantry position that Chengtai had preset. The squadron leader of the second middle school was killed in the first round of bullets, and his 200 cavalry only ran away with more than 50 people. This is still Chengtai deliberately letting them go, otherwise none of them will be able to escape.

You don't use paper to go to the toilet, it's just a matter of living habits, and it definitely doesn't affect your IQ. Therefore, the remaining Indian squad leader performed very well and did not do anything strange. There were only fifty of them left, and even if they went back to join the convoy, they would no longer be able to provide protection. So what they had to do was to call for help, they were ambushed by the enemy, the Supreme Commander was killed, and they needed the help of nearby friendly forces. More than 50 people were divided into two teams and asked for help from the military stations in Hexi and Cai and Yang villages.

After receiving the news, Hexi Wu and Cai Cun sent reinforcements as soon as possible, especially in Hexi Wu, they felt a hint of familiarity. The unknown forces who attacked them last time were very close to the people who attacked the convoy this time. And to be able to annihilate almost 200 Indian cavalry in a short period of time, it must be an elite unit.

The two reinforcements, who were quickly assembled and set out, heard the rumbling of artillery in the direction of the convoy, but neither of them could reach the scene because they were also blocked. After packing up the Indian cavalry, he threw the task of cleaning the battlefield to Bozhtu's men, and Chengtai quickly moved south and stopped the reinforcements from Hexiwu. The three battalions of Fu Kang blocked the reinforcements of the British troops from Cai Village and Yang Village.

The British army was well-trained and well-organized, and if it was an ordinary Qing army, not to mention a slight advantage in troops, even if it was several times the enemy, it would not be able to stop them. However, these people under Goxinga surpassed the British army in terms of weapons and equipment and military thinking, so the British army fought extremely hard. If the trapped convoys could move closer to reinforcements on either side, the British still had hope of retreating, but not to mention the troops, even the convoys could not be withdrawn.

"Let the flotilla go first! Someone from Hexi must be coming to meet us! "Although the enemy was under heavy artillery fire, the infantry advanced very slowly, and the formation was so loose that Robert could barely hold on. After discovering that the opponent's strength was twice as large as his own, Robert decisively ordered the fleet to abandon the infantry and go first. Although the canal is not wide, there are infantry delays on the shore, and the enemy cannot attack the fleet with all his strength.

The flotilla moved slowly, but a cannon on the shore was aimed at the head of the boat. After a loud bang, the entire front of the fragile boat was blown away, and the sinking hull began to spin in the canal, completely blocking the waterway.

"Damn, turn around and go back to Cai Village!" Robert was amazed by the power of the enemy's artillery, but immediately ordered the fleet to turn.

Another shell, with a different sound, swept over the infantry, and the enemy again aimed at the tail boat, but it was too far away for them to hit. The cannonball blasted into the canal, and although it missed, it also caused nearby ships to lose control and keep spinning in the canal.

"Oh my mother!" The boatmen jumped off the boat with a wail and swam to the shore with all their might.

The British had a limited number of steam boats, and they were not well adapted to the hydrological environment of the North Canal, so the Allied forces relied mainly on captured boats. There are countless boats along the way from Tianjin to Hexiwu, which can well complete the transportation tasks of the coalition forces. Moreover, a large number of shipwrights are also ready-made laborers, they can skillfully operate the boats, as long as they are paid, they are also as hard-working as the coolies in Guangdong. But they are not soldiers, and they do not have a good psychological quality, and when the artillery fire affects them, they choose to flee for their lives as soon as possible. The supplies and boats of the coalition army were thrown into the canal, and they became lost items waiting to be claimed, and only the victors of the battle could claim them.

Cao Meng's General Weiyuan can't hit so far, and it can't be so accurate, but Guo Xing'a supports Cao Meng with a squad. This squad was a newly formed unformed artillery squad, and there was only one artillery piece in the class. However, they became the key to trapping the Confederate convoy, as their only artillery was an Armstrong Twelve-pounder. Long-range shooting is also accurate, and after replacing it with high-explosive shells produced by the Goxinga Arsenal, it is even more powerful.

Wilson, a colored general who has been discriminated against, is also in the ranks of reinforcements, and he is rushing from Yang Village to the place of the incident. Instead of rescuing Robert, he went to rescue the reinforcements from Cai Village, who were also in trouble. The rescue team from Caicun ran into the trench that Fukang had just dug up, and the 400 infantry could only be helpless in the face of the trench. In Crimea, the Russians stormed the trenches, and the results were impressive, but at that time, the trenches were filled with British troops. Now that the times are changing, the British will not be stupid to repeat the stupid things that the Russians have done, but if they want to rescue the convoy, they must pass. The young captain organized a charge that he considered skillful, and then in a dense hail of bullets, the British suffered heavy casualties. So they had to ask for help from Yang Village, which was further away, they needed artillery, there was no artillery, there was no difference between infantry storming the trenches and sending them to death.

"Thank God you're finally here!" The young captain was already on the verge of losing his hair.

"Don't worry, their trenches are shallow." Wilson surveyed some of the enemy with his binoculars, looked at the captain again, and shook his head.

This young guy is obviously inexperienced, and his ability to analyze and control the battlefield situation is very poor, and his ability to withstand it is also very poor. It was not possible for the enemy to dig a trench in a short time, at most they had dug a shallow trench in which the soldiers could lie down, Wilson could see clearly through his binoculars. That is, if they reloaded, they still had to stand up, and then both sides would return to the same starting line, and the British would just need to withstand one more volley. The failure of the charge just organized by the captain can only show that he did not even hold on to the first round of enemy fire, and was frightened by the casualties, and hastily gave the order to retreat.

"They're still digging and you've been wasting precious time kids!" Wilson had a rare opportunity to teach others.

Wilson took over the command, and the artillery from Yang Village began to bombard the positions of the third battalion, but the effect was not good. Although the trenches of the third battalion were dug a little shallower, the British artillery was not very good, and the solid spherical shells and * blasting shells posed little threat to improvised fortifications. It was only possible to suppress the firepower of the third battalion with continuous artillery fire, so that the third battalion could not shoot calmly.

"Captain, you should look like an officer, charge ahead!" Wilson's literacy was still good, and in addition to artillery cover, he also arranged two teams of infantry to provide fire support from both flanks of the stormtrooping troops.

However, Wilson's deployment did not play a big role, and although the fire from the enemy positions was suppressed, it continued. Wilson's guess of standing up and reloading never happened, as if they had an endless supply of ammunition in their guns. Moreover, the enemy's large-caliber mortar artillery was very powerful, causing great damage to the infantry who came forward.

"Damn it, find them!" Although Wilson was curious about the enemy's rifles, he had to concentrate his main efforts on fighting the enemy's mortars. Unfortunately, the mortars were so low that Wilson and the artillerymen were almost blind through the telescopes, and it was difficult to find them. In order to cope with the dilemma, Wilson had to continue to project troops to maintain the suppression of the enemy.

"You seem to have fallen for it!" Guo Huaya, who was learning Western knowledge with Wilson, said suddenly. Wilson always kept his magical captives with him, because Guo Huaya could always provide him with information about China that he didn't know.

"What did you say?" Wilson, who was engrossed in directing the battle, looked back at Guo Huaya in surprise.

"These people are just delaying you, you must have fallen for it!" Guo Huaya didn't want to be a military advisor to Wilson, but he always couldn't help but want to show off.

"Delay us? Yes! They're just delaying us to stop us from going to the rescue convoy! Wilson felt that Guo Huaya was talking nonsense.

"If they hadn't come to delay you, the convoy would have been finished! Don't you think they're amazing? Guo Huaya didn't want to say it anymore, but he couldn't make Wilson feel inferior to him.

Wilson was horrified, and this was really the case. If the enemy concentrates his forces to attack the convoy, with their superior firepower and strength, the convoy will definitely be killed without even having a chance to call for help. But why don't they do it? What's the use of them procrastinating themselves here? Wilson could only turn his attention for help to Guo Huaya.

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Guo Huaya is very entangled, Wilson treats him well, and he should help Wilson. But he was facing his own country's army, and he felt guilty for betraying anyone.

"These damn guys, their target is still the station!" Wilson knew a lot about Chinese idioms, and he certainly knew how to turn the tiger away.

"Boom ......" Several shells suddenly flew from the northeast, and for a time the British front was thrown into chaos, and even Wilson's rearguard unit was attacked. Hundreds of strangely dressed Eastern soldiers emerged from the northeast and attacked the British from the flanks.

"Stand back, defend the formation!" Wilson hurriedly ordered the attacking troops to retreat, and at the same time set up a hollow phalanx.

The enemy did not take advantage of the chaos to attack, but joined up with the enemy in the trenches, and then lay on the ground and began to shoot at the British. Because of the distance, their shooting accuracy is not high, but it is never interrupted. And the British army, which has always pursued high precision, is a little weak to fight back, and they can't see where the enemy is at all.

"Damn, where did these bastards come from!" Wilson was disgraced by the first round of enemy shelling.

No one could answer his question, and these people appeared without warning like passing ghosts.

"The enemy is frantically attacking Hexiwu, and the reinforcements of Hexiwu have all retreated to protect Hexiwu's military station!" A herald, covered in blood, ran across the canal.

"Damn it!" Wilson probably guessed where the enemy's reinforcements came from, and these people should have been the enemy who had blocked the reinforcements from the direction of Hexi. Now that the reinforcements from Hexiwu had retreated, they had come to attack them.

"It's really a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, ask Yang Village for help! We're stuck too! "Wilson was very frustrated, he had a rare opportunity to perform, and he completely messed up.

The enemy's strength was twice as strong, and if he retreated in a hurry now, he would inevitably be defeated by the enemy's pursuit, and he could only pray that Yang Cun would send someone to rescue him again.

"Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Guo Huaya felt that the Qing army's plan was more than that, but he didn't say it this time.
