At the same time, the main force of Li Xiucheng, who was dormant, finally showed his hideous fangs.

They came from the rear, targeting the heavy artillery regiments of the Anglo-French forces. Originally, the heavy artillery regiment was under the heavy protection of the British and French forces, and it was impossible for the Taiping army to enter at all. But now the main forces of the coalition forces have gone to pursue Li Shixian's Taiping army to gain military success, and the artillery has fallen to the end because of its slow action, and even the heavy artillery regiment has just pulled out of the camp, and the distance from the main force on the front line is at least ten miles. And this is the fighter that Li Shixian is crazy to attack, and Li Xiucheng is lurking and waiting.

The heavy artillery regiment is naturally not without protection, and a thousand-strong British ** team serves as the escort of the heavy artillery regiment, but in the face of Li Xiucheng's overwhelming offensive, the defense line composed of 1,000 people is just blooming with blood flowers.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire heavy artillery regiment was completely captured, and even the British did not have time to blow up these heavy artillery pieces before they all fell into the hands of the Taiping army.

"Kun Shu, pull these heavy artillery away and send them to Suzhou City, let's continue to chase! The loss of this fighter plane for us is huge, and we must make more gains. Li Xiucheng did not stop, and killed the enemy's heavy artillery regiment to ensure the safety of the Suzhou city wall in a short time. But this is not all Li Xiucheng wants, there are still three enemy artillery regiments in the front, if it is taken at one time, it is not impossible to destroy the British and French forces.

The news of the attack on the heavy artillery regiment reached the hands of General Steweili and others as soon as possible.

"It can't be! Where did the enemy come out of a large army! ”

Baron Gro was also dumbfounded, and then said loudly: "Could it be Li Shixian's troops!" Li Hongzhang's battle report said that their main force was gone! Damn the Chinese, they did not rush to Shanghai, but came to our rear. ”

Stewig also figured it out, his face gloomy and ugly.

It's fucking tricks again, these Chinese are really annoying, is it interesting to always play conspiracy? How nice it would be to have a decisive battle in a dignified manner.

"Order all armies to transfer their forces, and be sure to protect the artillery regiment." Because the heavy artillery regiment fell behind, I am afraid that the meat buns beat the dogs and there is no return. But the remaining three artillery regiments are not far from them, and as long as they return to help in time and keep these three artillery regiments, the form will not be so bad that it cannot be solved.

The Anglo-French forces withdrew on all fronts. At this time, they wanted to leave, but Li Shixian refused to let them.

"Order the whole army to storm! Crush them for Lao Tzu! Fan Ruzeng saw the enemy retreating and quickly let the army counterattack.

The 1st Division of the Rebel Army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, carrying the ass of the Indian army and killing it.

No one thought of this result that the Taiping Army, which was originally defeated, still had the power to oppose the war, and it looked at the posture of the elite troops who were simply recuperating and recuperating, where was the rout army that had just been beaten and fled in embarrassment.

The coalition forces reacted very quickly, leaving two divisions of the Indian army to resist the attack of Van Ruga's army, and the other units discarded everything but weapons and ammunition and gathered in the direction of the artillery at full speed.

The artillery of the three regiments of the coalition army also spread their feet and ran quickly, and the guns on wheels were pushed as fast as they could.

It's a pity that they are still not as fast as Li Xiucheng's cavalry troops. Yes, Li Xiucheng has a cavalry unit under his command, but this cavalry has never been put into use, which can be regarded as the trump card in Li Xiucheng's hands. This time, I used it, and the effect was immediate.

The speed of the artillery was already high, but in any case it was not faster than the horsepower of the cavalry.

In less than two quarters of an hour, five hundred cavalry bypassed the artillery and blocked the enemy's advance.

The fierce exchange of fire broke out again, the Taiping army 500 cavalry dismounted to block, they and other Taiping troops were not connected, they were not only equipped with cold weapons, but also a Western-style rifle, cold ** complete, on the horse is a cavalry wielding a saber, dismounted is an infantry using firearms.

The five hundred elites were like sharp swords stuck in the retreat of the artillery, blocking them alive.

"Set up artillery positions and bombard them." Seeing that the Anglo-French troops guarding the three artillery regiments failed to open the passage after several attacks, the artillery of the Anglo-French forces had to build artillery positions on the spot and shrink back to prepare for defense.

Seeing that the enemy had deployed a defensive formation, the cavalry captain of the Taiping Army, who was responsible for blocking the enemy, breathed a sigh of relief, and now he just waited for the arrival of the army.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the figure of the Anglo-French army appeared in the rear of the cavalry.

The face of the Taiping cavalry changed greatly.

"Immediately let people stop the enemy!" The commander of the cavalry unit gritted his teeth and gave the order. He understood that it was a dead end to hold back the large forces of the Anglo-French army, but now it was difficult to drag the enemy's artillery regiment, and in no case could the enemy get rid of it again.

The cavalry regarded death as home, and they gathered five hundred horses and hid them in places where the enemy's rifles could not easily reach. Then they spread out, creating the illusion that there were no less than a thousand troops, hoping to put more pressure on the enemy.

The Anglo-French troops rushed over and saw the blocking positions of the Taiping army. Truth be told, the coalition was suspicious, but their hesitation didn't last long before it turned into a frenzied attack.

Because the Allied artillery regiment blocked by the Taiping cavalry unit opened fire, the artillery fire fell on the position of the Taiping cavalry, which gave the best signal to the British and French allied forces.

But I didn't expect that it was the horses that had been restrained before to bomb the camp under artillery fire, and one by one the war horses rushed out in horror, and after crashing into more than a dozen Taiping cavalry, they rushed madly in the direction of the British and French forces.

When the cavalry captain saw this, he immediately ordered the soldiers to ignite the explosives that had been planted earlier.

Then with an earth-shattering explosion, hundreds of warhorses became even more frightened and crazy.

The vanguard of the Anglo-French army was taken aback, and they immediately organized their soldiers to shoot at the crazy horses.

Some of the horses that ran in front were shot, but the herd of horses was completely frightened, and the killing of the leading horses could not stop them at all.

Boom!

Crazy warhorses rushed into the vanguard of the Anglo-French army.

"Good opportunity! Rush me! The commander of the cavalry unit did not care about feeling sorry for his horse, and immediately gave the order to attack.

The soldiers of the cavalry gritted their teeth and rushed forward with rifles with bayonets.

Like a meat grinder, the 500 cavalry took advantage of the chaos brought by the madness of war horses to the vanguard of the British and French forces, frantically strangled the enemy, and quickly expanded the results of the battle.

A regiment of Anglo-French troops was defeated, they were defeated, and those who ran slowly were all killed by the Taiping army with a bayonet.

"Collect the troops and evacuate!" Take it when you see it.

If he could, the cavalry captain naturally wanted to take advantage of the rout of the coalition vanguard to sweep away the enemy's entire army. It's a pity that their forces are too small, and 500 people can't withstand the Anglo-French army of 10,000 people.

The most important thing for them now is to secure the defense line and wait for the arrival of Li Xiucheng's army.

At this time, Li Xiucheng's army was also close to the battlefield. He immediately divided his forces, and part of them bypassed the enemy artillery and went to support the cavalry. The remaining large army used its own personal guards as the vanguard to attack the artillery regiments of the foreigners.
