Baoding City was suddenly surrounded by the Yejiabao army, and Qing Dangui did not dare to slack off after receiving the report, and quickly returned to Baoding City with the army that was attacking Tianjin City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ye Shaolong naturally wouldn't let Qing Dangui come back to help so easily, on the way through which his army must pass, he had already ambushed his manpower, harassed and attacked all the way!

After Ye Shaolong arrived with the main army, the 3,000 cavalry of the iron tower were ordered to support the ambushed Yejiabao army.

At this moment, Su Can was ambushing in the wilderness with the musket battalion, although this place was a plain area, it was a wilderness, overgrown with weeds as high as a human waist.

The gunman is hidden in the grass and is difficult to spot, making it a great ambush spot.

Just now, Su Can had already received a report from the spies, and Qing Dangui arrived with the army. There is an army of more than 20,000 people, and the foreigners and gunners in it will account for about half.

In the face of such an enemy army, if you want to rely on 3,000 musketeers to sneak attack, if you don't arrange a retreat, it will be difficult to get out of this plain afterwards.

Therefore, Su Can had to wait until the cavalry of the tower came to cover for them, and the musket battalion was only responsible for hiding in the dark and releasing cold guns. On the surface, he still has to rely on cavalry to contain the enemy army, but this time he sees that the enemy army is coming, but he has not yet seen the cavalry battalion of the iron tower.

Su Can frowned for a while, but there was nothing he could do, all he could do now was to wait patiently, and there was no other way!

Among the army led by Qing Dangui this time, there were less than 500 horsemen, and almost all of them were infantry. It's not that foreigners don't have war horses, on the contrary, they have the most war horses among the surrounding forces.

They don't use cavalry just because it affects the performance of the musketeers, after all, the muskets at this time still need to be lined up to form a dense strike mode in order to cause enough damage to the enemy and give full play to the maximum firepower of the muskets.

The army of Taiyuan City was getting closer and closer, and cold sweat was already breaking out in Su Can's palms. If this ambush is missed, then Ye Shaolong's harassment plan will be in vain.

Just when Su Can was in a hurry, he finally heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance behind him. A moment later, I heard a report from the spies that the cavalry battalion had arrived.

Su Can was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for a sneak attack on the enemy, and then waited with bated breath to see the performance of the tower cavalry battalion.

When the three thousand cavalry were approaching the ambush site of Su Can's musket battalion, they suddenly stopped their horses and waited for Su Can's signal to attack.

The Taiyuan army did not find the abnormality ahead, and Qing Dangui was in a hurry to rush back to Baoding City, so he was not cautious, but urged the whole army all the way to hurry.

The front army of the Taiyuan army was the surrender army of the Qing Dynasty in the opening of the road, and the foreign army was in the center and behind the army ranks. At this moment, the vanguard of the Taiyuan army had already entered Su Can's ambush site, but he did not send a signal to attack, but continued to hold his troops.

It was not until the foreign army arrived at the ambush site that Su Can ordered the whole army to shoot and send a signal to the iron tower in the rear.

"Bang bang ......."

Three thousand musketeers, under the orders of Su Can, inflicted indiscriminate blows on the unsuspecting foreign troops.

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, the cavalry battalion in the rear also outflanked the buttocks of the Taiyuan army for the first time. The harassment and attack began at the speed of the cavalry, and the gallop of the three thousand cavalry was not small, which instantly plunged the Taiyuan army into panic and confusion.

The Qing troops were the most unbearable, and at the moment of the attack, they scattered in a hurry without receiving any blows, without caring about the safety of the foreign troops in the rear.

Looking at the Qing surrenderers who scattered and fled and didn't listen to the command at all, Qing Dangui's face turned green. Originally, the Qing army was not used in the eyes of the foreigners in Taiyuan City, and even his status as the highest commander was affected by it, and he had no right to speak.

Now that he has been done like this by these Qing soldiers again, Qing Dangui secretly complained in his heart, he believed that after this incident, he would definitely be severely punished by foreigners.

Qing Dangui was still lamenting his fate in the future, but the foreign army that would suddenly be attacked was no better.

Tie Ta led the cavalry battalion and rushed into the foreign army at a very fast speed, and the foreign army that was in a panic had no time to react at all, and was divided into several scattered phalanxes by the cavalry at the first time.

The musket, the most powerful weapon of the foreign army, was useless in the face of the cavalry in front of them, and the musket in their hands was like a burning stick if they could not fire the gun. In the face of the machetes of the cavalry battalion, they were almost powerless.

Su Can saw an opportunity at this time, and after ordering the musket battalion to shoot freely, he himself took dozens of good hands, drew his broadsword, and rushed into the foreign army to start a merciless slaughter.

Nearly 10,000 foreign troops looked very unbearable in the face of this sudden sneak attack, the iron tower and the cavalry kept rushing back and forth, and Su Can and others slaughtered the scattered foreign troops outside.

The sound of killing was everywhere, and the screams were incessant, and the shouts and shouts suddenly resounded throughout the plain. The 6,000 Yejiabao army faced nearly 10,000 foreign troops, but the opponent was powerless to fight back.

It wasn't until Qing Dangui finally suppressed the fleeing Qing army and killed it back that it gave the foreign army a chance to breathe. With the addition of the Qing army, whether it is the cavalry battalion of the Iron Tower or the musket battalion of Su Can, it is no longer possible to cause damage to the foreign army.

And the foreign army also took this opportunity to breathe, and finally regrouped the army, lined up in columns and began to fight back. When more violent gunfire rang out on the plain, Tie Ta and Su Can immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

Su Can's musket battalion retreated first, and the cavalry battalion of the iron tower was cut off. In the face of the counterattack of the regrouped foreign army, the cavalry battalion of the Iron Tower began to suffer a large number of casualties.

This can make the tower feel so distressed, but in order to cover the retreat of the musket battalion, he can only grit his teeth and hold on. Fortunately, the foreign army did not dare to pursue, which gave the cavalry battalion a chance to escape.

The battle came and went quickly, but this short sneak attack brought a lot of casualties to the Taiyuan army. In particular, the foreign troops who were greeted by the focus suffered heavy losses.

According to a rough count, the number of casualties among the foreigners in this sneak attack was as fast as 2,000. However, the Qing army suffered less than five hundred casualties, and Qing Dangui was in a cold sweat in the face of such a result, and at this time he was already able to predict his future fate.

It's a pity that Qing Dangui still overestimated himself, he didn't wait for the future, but was taken down by the angry foreigners at the first time.

Several generals of the Qing army were not spared, and they were all shot on the spot as a warning to those Qing soldiers.

After this battle, the Taiyuan army had been injured, and several foreign army leaders directly diverted back to Taiyuan City after discussion, giving up the plan to return to Baoding City.

Tianjin soon learned that the Taiyuan army had been attacked, and by the time they sent troops to help, the two sides had already disappeared. The generals of Tianjin City looked at the blood all over the ground and the messy battlefield, and deeply realized the strength of the Yejiabao army.
