Chapter 222: Insulting the Pig

Looking at the Qing cavalry and the British army advancing towards the central battlefield at the same time, Guo Xing's heart was in his throat, and he couldn't wait to stand up and cheer for the cavalry. The battle had turned into a race, although whoever made it to the finish line first, the battle was lost by the Qing army. But as long as the Qing army arrives first, the French army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the decisive battle in the future will be easy to fight. However, when both sides were approaching the end, the British suddenly stopped and put on a defensive formation.

"Second Master Guan has appeared!" Pi Runmin seemed to have prayed to Guan Erye in his heart just now, and suddenly saw that the British army stopped, and blurted out.

"Blessed by the gods! It's awkward at this time! The Brit is really good. "Goxing Aye is happy to bloom.

The reaction of the British now is easy to explain, the French have just left them behind in a very unrighteous way, and now the time has come for them to retaliate. Just let you cow, someone beat me! Lao Tzu just didn't save you, just watched from the sidelines, you were crying and shouting for help! When will you cry sincere tears, and when will Lao Tzu send troops.

"Friendly forces are not in harmony, God really helps, they are good for infighting!" Pi Runmin's mind flashed through the classic cases of various discord schemes.

"No, these guys are all professional soldiers, and they are at most a small pit Frenchman, and they won't really sit idly by!" Gohinga, of course, had the same expectations, but he knew that the British were not so two. The mode of operation of people is institutionalized, and all aspects of the whole country are institutionalized, and the overall situation will not be affected by personal emotions.

Although they knew that the British army would definitely make a move, it was only a matter of time sooner or later, but looking at the cavalry that was already approaching the gap of the French army, Guo Xing'a and the others were secretly happy. Everyone seemed to have seen the scene of the cavalry charging and killing, as if the scene of the collapse of the French army had already taken place in front of them.

However, it seemed that there was really a qi in the dark, and when the cavalry was only a hundred meters away from the French army, bursts of white smoke suddenly rose from the phalanx of the British army. Hundreds of fire dragons rose into the air in the white smoke, and with a white smoke tail, they flew towards the cavalry team flutteringly.

"! Congreve*! "Goxinga himself is an expert in using *, so he naturally recognized at a glance what the British army was casting.

Gohinga is a man with a golden finger, so he started with Hall*, and Hall* developed from Congreve*. By this time* had already been invented, but not yet heavily equipped in the army, and the British still used Congreve*, which they had been using since the time of Napoleon. In the two opium wars, the Qing army did not suffer less losses from this thing, and the most disgusting thing is that the prototype of this thing was invented by the Chinese.

China made this kind of prototype in the Song Dynasty, and it was introduced to India by the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, and it was quickly imitated and used by the Asan people, of course, people have also made certain upgrades and improvements. They added a balancing guide rod to the tail of the rocket, so that the maximum range of the rocket reached about five miles, and it was used many times in war. During the British and French invasion of India, although India was divided, it also tried to resist, and a large number of rockets were used in the war, and the British always suffered some losses. So after getting Ah San, the British brought these rockets back to their homeland very well and studied them themselves.

Later, Napoleon swept across Europe, and Britain naturally wanted to stir up the-stirring stick in Europe, so naturally it got into trouble, and Napoleon was ready to attack the British mainland. The British were short of troops, and if they let Nadi land, they would basically be out of order, so they could only find a way to block Napoleon at sea in terms of weapons. High-quality and inexpensive rockets were taken seriously, and Congreve made several research and improvements, and Kangreve* was created. As soon as it came out, it was in the limelight with its fast rate of fire, long range, flexible maneuverability and other characteristics, and was known as the soul of artillery without a cannon body.

Since then, the British army has taken Congreve * with them everywhere they went, it was used in the Napoleonic wars, it was also used in the American-British wars, and it was not missing in the two opium wars to bully the Chinese. In the past 20 years, this thing has appeared everywhere in Guangzhou, the Yangtze River Estuary, Nanjing, Tianjin and other places. During this attack on Dagukou and Tanggu, the British army also used this thing, but it was used as an auxiliary to artillery at that time, so it was not conspicuous.

The real sorrow is not defeated, but the grievance of defeat. The Qing army also used to manufacture and use a similar weapon, called the Flying Fire Bronze Gun, which differed only from the Congreve rocket in size. The Flying Fire Bronze Gun is not a temporary invention, nor is it an imitation of a product, but a manufacturing method found in an ancient book. There is also a Hui god named Ding Gongchen, who came up with a cheap production method of iron * ten years ago, making this treasure more inexpensive. That is to say, China already had metal-shelled rockets in the Ming Dynasty or even earlier, and because no one paid attention to it, the manufacturing method was almost lost, and it could only be found in miscellaneous books that no one read. Therefore, in the Qing Dynasty, old rockets were still used, and they were attacked by the British with improved Congreve rockets from China to India. It is a real shame that after inventing a cheap method of rocket manufacturing and then not popularizing it, after the war, this kind of rocket will never be seen again.

* Smashed into the ranks of the Qing cavalry like a meteor, and the arrows of the charge were temporarily overturned by the bombed people, and the hope of defeating the French army was also wiped out for a while. Fortunately, the British Congreve* charge was limited, and the accuracy problem that Goxing Adu could not solve, and the British were also unruly, so the cavalry casualties were not large. Now, if we can hold this breath and continue to storm the French army, the situation is still promising. The cavalrymen did not understand this, but their horses did not understand, and the loud sound of the explosion and the light of the fire frightened these creatures of the Mongolian plateau. The frightened horses kept jumping and struggling, and no matter how good the cavalry was, they couldn't control these war horses, so they helplessly lay on their horses, and galloped away like headless flies.

"The system!" Guoxinga looked up to the sky and sighed, this is not a matter of gas number, this is a problem of the system.

The war horses of the Qing army are all excellent Mongolian horses, but these war horses are only good in physical fitness, and their psychological quality is not good at all. Because there is no special army management system, all war horses are temporarily recruited. Mongolian horses are not bred in captivity, they live in the wild for several months of the year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are semi-wild horses. Not only the soldiers on the battlefield must be trained, but the war horses must also be trained, and the professionally trained war horses will definitely not be frightened by the sound of guns, and these Mongolian horses can not do it.

The cavalrymen had just been recruited from Mongolia before the war, and they were not professional soldiers, but professional herdsmen. Although with the bravery caused by the living environment, people can quickly become warriors, but horses cannot. War horses are not afraid of flames and explosions, and require long-term training in a simulated environment, which is by no means something that can be done in a day or two. And the horses brought by these cavalrymen from their Mongolian hometowns live on the steppe all year round, and they are easy to wander and graze every day, where have they seen cannonballs, which are industrial products. In the face of the explosion around them, people can still hold on with courage, but the war horses have no patriotic sentiments, they just want to go back to their hometown in Mongolia.

The frightened war horses ran aimlessly with the cavalry, and a large part of them ran towards the infantry array of the Qing army. The war horses that lost control could not distinguish friend from foe, and the already precarious army formation was immediately dispersed by their own cavalry, and the rout of the Qing army was completely irretrievable. Ge Bang definitely has the potential to become a famous general, and as soon as the infantry array disintegrated, the buddies put away the banner and turned around. When the Lord fled, the soldiers had no courage to continue fighting, and they all became rabbits chased by dogs, and galloped away like the wind.

"They are not the Praetorian Guards, pursuit, pursuit! They must not be spared! "Although the situation was a little critical just now, Major General Mitchell still discovered that the enemy was not a ghost unit that had repeatedly sneaked up on them. It was very shameful to be almost defeated by the Qing army outside the ghost army, so the French army must annihilate the fleeing enemy and wash away their humiliation.

The French army, who had recovered from their senses, immediately gritted their teeth and chased after them. In the short encounter, the French army did not take much advantage, and more than 200 people were put down. Although there were not many serious wounded, and more than 40 military doctors could even reduce the casualty rate to zero, being beaten to such an extent by cold weapons also made them feel extremely angry when they were full of Napoleon.

The Allied forces immediately adjusted their dispositions, with the French pursuing the retreating Qing army and the British taking Zhangjiawan. After stabilizing the situation in Zhangjiawan, he followed up and waited for an opportunity to fight the main force of the Qing army. Then the French army followed the rout of Ge Tuo's forehead, bypassed Zhangjiawan, and chased directly in the direction of Guojiafen. The British army was opened by Sikh cavalry and killed directly at the undefended Zhangjiawan.

"What about the two thousand cavalry in the southwest? Why is there no movement? Guo Xing'a wanted to see the whole situation, but in order to hide, he could only lie on his stomach in the leeward grass, and most of the information had to be passed back to him by the scouts.

"The 2,000 Harbin horse team in the southwest didn't move, and they hid it more tightly than us!" Changlu brought back the news, and he felt that the Harbin horse team was cowardly, so he was extremely disdainful in his tone.

"What a big game of chess! The foreign devil is in the urn! Guo Xinga nodded and said.

On the surface, it seems that Seng Lingqin's layout has been successful, and the coalition forces have already plunged into Seng Lingqin's pocket, and the decisive battle will begin when the coalition forces approach Guo's tomb. Although the coalition forces have the advantage of weapons, they are surrounded by superior forces on all sides, and they are enough to drink a pot. Moreover, Guoxing'a is not ready to watch the excitement, as soon as Seng Lingqin's side is launched, he will return to Gu'an, and the whole army will be dispatched to cut off the retreat and supply lines of the coalition army. Even if Seng Lingqin can't defeat it for a while, the coalition forces without ammunition supplies will be trapped alive by him.

"My lord, foreign devils have entered Zhangjiawan, damn it, burning, killing and looting are more ruthless than bandits!" The time was short, Changlu brought back new information, and the Indians began to do nonsense again, and the white men did not care about it at all.

"! There are times when they regret it! Guo Xing'a can imagine that picture, he regrets that he didn't bring his main force, otherwise he would be ruthless to the coalition forces behind his back.

The alien race slaughtered the compatriots not far away, but everyone could only sit dry, and the atmosphere was a little dull for a while. Guo Xing'a sat in the corner and cursed all the time, he waited for the horn of the general attack of Monk Lingqin, ready to rush home to invite people at any time. But according to the distance, the French army should have arrived at Guo's tomb for a long time, and there was still no movement at all.

"My lord, the monk king has retreated to Xianhuzhuang, and the foreign devils have entered the camp of Guo's tomb!" When Guoxing was bored, Changlu hurriedly sent the latest news.

"Fuck, Monk Grinqin is crazy!" Guo Xing'a suddenly jumped up from the ground and scolded, but he couldn't figure out in his heart, could he have guessed the wrong mind of Seng Lingqin.

"Don't blame the monk king, the deputy capital Shengbao and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ruilin, after hearing that Zhangjiawan was rude, abandoned Tongzhou. The door of the monk's left flank was wide open, and the defense line was all in disarray, and he had to retreat and reline. "Changlu had just heard Guo Xing'a and Pi Runmin discussing the deployment of Seng Lingqin, so he knew what the problem was.

"Pig teammates!" Guo Xing'a felt that his heart was blocked for a while.

"I'm insulting a pig!" Guo Xinga immediately raised his hand again and gave himself a mouthful.
