Bazin is also frightened now, now the Chinese mercenaries are attacking the Malay Peninsula, who knows if these people will turn around and attack Indochina? In Cambodia to Laos, I don't have such a strong force to deal with it!

It's just that now that Tianjin is besieged, it is difficult for even a bird to fly out!

"General Houghton, not only the Malay Peninsula has been invaded, even Laos and Cambodia are now very dangerous, very dangerous, but this also shows that now the Asian Fleet has led reinforcements over, if the Asian Fleet does not leave the Malay Peninsula, China's mercenary corps and fleet will definitely not dare to attack the Malay Peninsula, this is our opportunity, it is the best opportunity for us to defeat the Lu army with foreign cooperation, as long as the Lu army is defeated and Guo Ye is captured, the big trouble will be solved!"

Bazin replied in a deep voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Do you mean to hold on to Tianjin for help?"

Houghton asked.

Bazin nodded and said, "Yes, once the combined fleet launches an attack from the Bohai Sea towards Tianjin City, that will be our chance to counterattack!" This time, the fleet of the three countries, plus our Anglo-French mixed fleet, can definitely occupy the absolute upper hand, no matter which direction it attacks, the Lu army will definitely not be able to resist such a fierce attack by us, and it will not be able to block the landing of our Anglo-French forces! ”

Everyone was excited when they heard this, Bazin was right, now there are two divisions of infantry, two divisions, 36,000 people, plus the current strength, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people! It's enough to defeat the Lu army!

Outside the city, Guo Ye naturally knows everything about Nanyang, although the army is now outside Tianjin, but there is a telegram in Cangzhou, from Cangzhou to outside Tianjin, it will not take more than a day to send a message.

During the three days of continuous attack, although the Four-Nation Alliance suffered huge casualties, it was still able to keep the city of Tianjin, and in three days, even if the Lu army was brave and good at fighting, it gradually felt tired!

Guo Ye frowned, the British, French and Western armies are worthy of being the world's top strong armies, although they were defeated, but there is still this background, if you want to take Tianjin, it is really not that easy, but time waits for no one, once the British and French reinforcements arrive, the Nalu army will be under huge military pressure, and it must completely defeat the four-nation alliance in these two days!

"Guan Ting, is there any movement in the Four-Nation Alliance?"

Guo Ye asked.

Zuo Guigui said in a deep voice: "Ming Shuai, we deliberately did not cut off the telegraph line between Tianjin City and the outside world, and now the situation on the Nanyang side has been passed on, but, looking at this, they still have no intention of breaking through, presumably they are waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, we are suffering from the enemy on our backs, and we will defeat our ...... in one fell swoop."

Guo Ye sneered: "What they think is quite beautiful!" If you want to defeat us, you won't have a chance in this life! ”

"It's just that they can't shrink back like this, it's not a way, Tianjin City is a big city, and if you want to attack it, it's not so easy, after all, there are still 40,000 people in the training army!"

"In that case, then prepare to give them an opening and let them let their guard down!"

"Let go of a hole?"

Zuo asked in surprise.

Guo Ye sneered: "Almost tomorrow at dawn, the reinforcements of the British and French coalition will arrive, when the time comes, order Gao Qi's first division to give up attacking Tianjin City and move in the direction of Dagukou, so that they think that our Dagukou situation is critical, I don't believe that they can let go of such an opportunity, they will definitely attack and open up the passage between the sea and Tianjin, as long as they leave Tianjin City, it will be dead!" ”

Zuo Guigui's eyes lit up, this is to release a huge bait, it depends on whether the opponent can take the bait!

"Also, mobilize all our cavalry, take a detour to the southeast, once the Four-Nation Alliance is out of the city, then divide and surround the coalition forces for me, Gao Qi's first division will break through to the north as soon as possible, kill him with a horse gun, and we will completely tear the opponent under the city of Tianjin!"

"Yes! I'll make the arrangements! ”

Zuo Guigui agreed, and went down to deploy in a hurry.

As soon as Zuo Guigui walked down, a military staff officer rushed in and said urgently: "Marshal, Song Qing, the chief soldier under the command of Lord Li Hongzhang, asks to come in!" ”

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and said with great joy: "The Huai army has arrived?" Great, haha, we've finally got a helper! Come on in! ”

After a short time, a general walked in from outside.

"Song Qing, the commander of the Nanyang Army, came to Tianjin on the order of the Marshal to wait for the dispatch of the Ming Marshal, and the general Ming Shuai!"

Song Qing is in his forties, he is in the prime of life, he is dressed in a strong suit, and his eyes are bright!

Song Qing, a famous general of the Huai Army, was still a middle-aged man at this time, and he was naturally not the same as the dying and decrepit old man during the First Sino-Japanese War.

"Haha, I wish the third brother, welcome, welcome, Huaijun is coming, the so-called timely rain and charcoal in the snow!"

Guo Ye laughed.

"Ming Shuai, this decisive battle with the foreigners, our Huai army naturally does not dare to fall behind, moreover, the previous Zhang Shusheng, Pan Dingxin and Liu Mingchuan three main camps of the Huai Army were all destroyed in the hands of the French, this enmity is not shared, our Quan Shuai this time again mobilized three battalions in one breath, more than 10,000 elites came to help Ming Shuai, my command is cavalry, so come faster, at most the morning after tomorrow, our main force will arrive!"

Three big battalions!

Guo Ye smiled: "Okay, Brother Shaoquan is so generous, Guo Ye has thanked me again, but it's time for me to use people!" ”

"Zhou Shengbo led the Shengzi Battalion, Wu Changqing led the Qingzi Battalion, and Li Zhaoqing led the Wuyi Army, a total of 15,000 people, and the 2,000 cavalry under the official Li Zhaoqing led by the mark! Ming Shuai, before he came, Quan Shuai had already ordered, all the soldiers were at the disposal of Ming Shuai, and no one was allowed to disobey it! How to deploy, please show Mingshuai! ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "In this case, please also wish the third brother to gather all the 2,000 cavalry to the southeast of Tianjin, tomorrow the cavalry of the Lu army will also arrive, and set up an ambush here together, once the four-nation alliance army rushes out of Tianjin City and launches an attack towards Dagukou, then immediately divide and surround it, two days, we have two days at most, and we must annihilate all the four-nation coalition forces!" ”

Now with the help of the Huai Army, Guo Ye's confidence is even stronger, although the combat power of the Huai Army cannot be compared with the Lu Army, but the strength of more than 10,000 people can always play a role, and it is good to fight!

"Also, immediately give orders to Zhou Shengbo and Li Zhaoqing, let the two battalions move straight in the direction of Dagukou, once the British and French reinforcements launch a landing operation, fully assist the Lu army to prevent the enemy from landing, even if all of them die in Dagukou, they must not let the British and French reinforcements take a step forward!"
