The British squad naturally ran back with their lives, and the French army also urgently deployed two artillery pieces to bombard the Qing army to cover the retreat of the British army. The cavalry of the Qing army obviously didn't know that they had bitten a big man, and when they saw the fierce artillery fire, they changed the direction of the attack and gave up this small team of foreign devils who seemed to have nothing to do with the overall situation. Instead, he launched an assault on the French phalanx from the rear, trying to break the French phalanx from behind.

Seeing that the Qing cavalry gave up the attack, the French army and the British squad were relieved, but the place of right and wrong could not stay for a long time, and the British army still retreated to the rear at high speed. No one noticed that in the rear of the battlefield, in the vacuum between the British and the French, a hidden detachment of eighty-four men was waiting for its prey.

Guo Xing'a almost put his finger on Changlu's head and gave him an order to keep the leading figure in this British army squad at all costs, even if it was to expose Guo Xing'a's position. These eighty-four people are already all the people that can be used, and only five of the guards around Goxinga have been transferred. A thousand words and a sentence are bound to be obtained.

It is unrealistic to think that in a short period of time, this British army, which has slightly more troops than itself, will be completely annihilated. So Changlu kept staring at the foreigner old man in the team who was particularly gorgeously dressed, and he wanted to use all his strength to snatch this old man back. This time, all the elite men of the reconnaissance battalion and the guard platoon were used, and there was nothing to hide, *, *, *, revolver rifles, and all kinds of high-powered rapid-fire weapons were displayed.

"* Open the way to disrupt the enemy first, then use all the bullets as fast as you can. After the first round, the guard squad loaded on the spot and carried out cover shooting, and the personnel of the reconnaissance battalion were moved. When you get your hands on someone, don't worry about anything else, evacuate immediately, even if I'm lying down, don't care. When we go*, throw it tightly, don't give the enemy a chance to track us, and the brethren who miss can have a good time! Seeing that the British squad was getting closer, Changlu repeated the order one last time.

"Huh!" Everyone answered softly.

The first exchange of fire between the French and Qing forces was an encounter for which neither side was prepared, which naturally disrupted the original plan. The British soldiers who were following behind suddenly heard the sound of artillery and did not know what was going on, so they were escorted by a small group of officers to find out the situation from the French, and as a result, they almost became prisoners of the Mongol cavalry. Fortunately, there was no danger, and the cavalrymen's nervous mood had just relaxed. Seeing that they were less than three miles away from their own brigade, the vigilant Queen's Guards suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something strange in the grass on the side of the road, and before they could react, hundreds of small hammer-like things smashed into their heads.

"Boom, boom......, boom"* exploded in a dense explosion in the ranks of the British army.

Although the British war horses have been professionally trained, no matter how good the training is, they can't withstand being bombed, the wounded war horses fell to the ground, and the frightened war horses jumped and galloped. The big man locked in Guoxinga was also thrown off the back of the horse by the war horse and fell heavily to the ground. Some clever soldiers had already jumped off their horses and rushed towards the big man, trying to protect him as soon as possible, but a dense burst of gunfire was already ringing all around.

"Damn, there's a regiment here!" The dense gunfire made the captain of the guard almost unable to believe his ears, but after the exclamation, he was hit in the center of the eyebrow by a bullet.

As soon as the dense gunfire stopped, dozens of guys dressed in leaves rushed up. The cavalrymen drew their swords and prepared to resist in hand-to-hand combat, but these people just rushed with their bodies low, and had no intention of fighting. The cavalry who lost their horses slashed with their swords, only to realize how powerful these dagger guys were. They folded themselves in groups, kept themselves as concealed as possible, and then nimbly dodged the slashing blades, and crashed into the arms of their enemies. By the time they swept by, the skilled cavalry had already had their throats slit or had been pierced through the heart.

......The nimble scout ran as he loaded his * or pistol, and when he raised the muzzle again, all in his way turned dead. The shotguns were enough to beat people to pieces at close range, and the blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

The cavalry of the Guards Dragoon Regiment was ready for death, but the enemy suddenly retreated, as if they appeared without warning. However, the remaining soldiers soon discovered the seriousness of the problem, and the strange enemy took away the big man they were protecting. Before they could lose command and launch a pursuit, the small hammer that would explode flew like a meteor shower, and when the explosion was over, they could no longer find the shadow of the enemy.

When the British in the rear saw the green cavalry galloping away, they ran into a very small wooded area nearby. However, when the cavalry of the brigade pursued them, there was no trace of them anymore, and only a few* were left for them. Except for a few dead and wounded horses, they did not find anything significant.

"My lord, I am glad that I am not dishonored! The enemy has not found any trace of us! Changlu gasped and returned to Goxinga's side.

"How are the brethren?" Goxinga's first sentence is always to ask about his losses.

"I didn't lose a single one, I hurt five, and none of them were serious." No matter what the reason for the casualties was when Guo Xing'a asked, Changlu always felt warm in his heart when he heard Guo Xing'a ask like this.

After a few words of condolence, Guo Xing'a was eager to see who he had caught. Soon the soldiers escorted the old white man, who had been forced to change into a blade of grass, in front of Goxinga.

“What’s your name ? (What's your name?) Guo Xing'a looked at the old man carefully, the nutrition is very good, the maintenance is also very good, and the temperament is also good, not a high-ranking officer but also a high-ranking civil official.

“What？ (What)" The old man was also shocked, he was captured and he had no temper, but he was still startled when he suddenly saw a Chinese who could speak English.

“What’s your name ?” Guo Xing'a deliberately slowed down his speech, his English had a northeast accent, and he was afraid that the old man would not understand.

"My name is James Hope Grant."

"James and what?" The level of English in Goxinga is not enough to translate the full names of foreigners.

"What's special?" Guo Xing'a began to recall the names of the senior officials of the coalition army that Zou Degui reported to him, and there were a lot of special words, and he really couldn't think of it for a while.

"Are you Grant?" Guo Xing'a suddenly thought of a name that sounded a little close.

“Yes I am.” Grant nodded cooperatively.

"I'll you!" Guo Xing'a didn't add his forehead with his hands, his hands touched the top of his brain all the way to the base of his neck, and he didn't even notice that his hat was knocked off.

"Dong Ong (Lord)!" Pi Runmin, Changlu, and Fu all found that Guo Xing'a was a little abnormal, not only dancing with his hands, but also as if he was going to jump twice.

"Fuquan, immediately select sixty elite horses, go around in a big circle, and send him back to Gu'an for me, there must be no mistakes! After arriving in Gu'an, he was handed over to Fengsheng and Ayan to take care of him, and no one was allowed to see him, nor was he allowed to have any accidents. Yung Hong takes care of his life, and his clothes and diet are all according to my standards, and he must take care of them. Wu Xiuming takes care of his body closely and must ensure his health. Any news about him will be classified as confidential, but if half a word is leaked, there will be no forgiveness! Guo Xing's hands and feet trembled, and his limbs were a little stiff, but he also knew that he couldn't leave Grant here, and he had to be sent back to Gu'an immediately to hide.

"My lord, this ......" Fuquan was a little stunned, Guo Xing'a has caught a father! As for facing the old man of foreign devils, it's so good!

"Don't talk nonsense, send it away immediately!" Guo Xing's voice was so loud that Fuquan was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask more, so he chose someone and escorted the old man away.

After sending Grant away, Goxinga sat on the ground for a while before relieving himself, but there was still a burst of smirks. Pi Runmin and Changlu persuaded twice, and Guoxing Ah returned to the hillside to watch the battle again.

"Why don't you ask me why I'm so happy!" Guo Xing was happy like a silly boy, and asked Pi Runmin stupidly.

"Dong Weng was too out of shape just now, there must be something big, but Dong Weng has just said that everything is top secret, and the students don't dare to ask more." Pi Runmin knows how to advance and retreat very well, and he won't ask more about things that shouldn't be asked. However, there are also some people who don't like to take care of Guo Xing'a's ingredients in it, Guo Xing's current image is too embarrassing, and readers don't like to chat with silly boys.

"You ask! I'm telling you! Guo Xing's expression was cheap.

"Why is Dong Weng so excited? Could it be that the old white man just now was an enemy chieftain. "The situation on the battlefield is becoming more and more unfavorable for the Qing army, and the Mongol cavalry of Seng Lingqin is fighting very hard, and Pi Runmin is not in a good mood at all.

"I won't tell you! Hahahaha! Goxinga put his face in the grass and began to laugh maniacally.

"I ......" Pi Runmin almost killed himself in one breath when he held it in his chest, and he took two breaths before he eased up a little. Scholars can't swear, but Pi Runmin's mouth shape seems to greet Guoxing's family.

"Grant, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army! I captured the commander-in-chief of the British army alive! Captured alive, alive! It's not easy! Guo Xing'a laughed for a while before poking his head out and whispering in Pi Runmin's ear.

"Ahh Pi Runmin looked at Guo Xing'a with wide eyes, and he couldn't accept this reality a little. Although he had just seen that this foreigner old man was not an ordinary person, Pi Runmin felt that he was also a senior officer, and he never expected that he was actually the supreme commander of the British army.

"It's difficult to get the head of a general in the 10,000 horse army, I took a whole, and I'm still alive!" Guo Xing'a laughed as he spoke, his eyes full of little stars.

"Congratulations to Dong Weng, what a miracle!" Pi Runmin is also in good spirits.

However, what Pi Runmin thinks is not the same thing as what Guo Xing'a thinks, he also wants to use Grant as a bargaining chip for the court to negotiate with foreigners, but Guo Xing'a doesn't think so. Grant is a line of his relationship with the British, and it is indispensable to do business with the British in the future, and it takes an opportunity to go to the upper class, and the capture of Grant is this opportunity. What's more, with the merit of capturing Grant alive, Guo Xing'a can't run away is the number one hero of this war, and Emperor Xianfeng will definitely be rewarded in the future.

When Goxinga and Pirunmin were each pregnant with evil intentions, the battle situation was getting worse and worse, and the Mongol cavalry was slow to break the French phalanx. The Mongol cavalry, whose hand-to-hand combat ability was too poor, never dared to storm the French phalanx, but only shot around the formation, trying to crush the enemy with bows and arrows. However, the lethality of their bows and arrows was really limited, and although the French army wounded hundreds of people, few were killed at all. In the confrontation of bows and arrows, artillery, and muskets, the Qing army has always been at a disadvantage, and in the end it was really unable to resist and could only retreat.

After the defeat of the Qing army, the second brigade of the French army also launched an offensive, and they began to attack the headquarters of Shengbao, to complete the strategic purpose of occupying the Bali Bridge. The neighing of the horses gradually faded away, the rumbling cannon became the main theme of the battlefield, the unilateral performance time of the French artillery ended, and the two sides began an artillery battle at the Bali Bridge.
