Seeing that the Qing army was gradually unable to withstand it, a sneer appeared on Bazin's face, it was time to launch a counterattack!

"Order the first regiment, the second regiment, to attack from the front, and order the third regiment to storm the flank of the Qing army, for an hour, to end the battle!"

Bazin shouted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The strength of three regiments rushed towards the position of the Qing army!

Under the cover of artillery fire from behind, the French army quickly approached the Huai army!

At this time, the Huai army, after half a day of fighting, suffered heavy casualties, in the face of a tsunami-like attack, the Huai army was even more panicked, Pan Dingxin continued to urge the army to fight back, preventing the advance of the French army, but at this time, it was impossible to suppress the French army at the same time.

The brave and combative French army was attacking and shooting frantically at the same time, and the fire was fierce, and the suppressed Huai army retreated one after another.

Finally, the French army rushed to the front of the Huai army's position, held bayonets, and rushed towards the Huai army, hand-to-hand combat!

Pan Dingxin personally took out the big knife on his waist and rushed towards the French army, it only took half a day to lose the position like this, as the tiger general of the Huai Army, it was too embarrassing for Quan Shuai, even if he died here, he must not retreat!

The shortcomings of the Huai army at this time completely broke out, just updated all the muskets, whether it is a rear-loading gun, or a rifled gun, or a smoothbore gun, or even a carrying gun, anyway, the current Huai army has a rifle, but equipped with a rifle, naturally there is no original cold weapon, there is no cold weapon, this military technology of stabbing has not been popularized in the Huai army, let alone large-scale training.

Fighting with the Taiping Army, the Taiping Army and the Huai Army are in the same situation, the two sides are half a catty and eight taels, both are half-hung levels, naturally it can't be seen, now fighting with the French army, the gap in stabbing technology, suddenly magnified, not only stabbing technology, but also hand-to-hand combat coordination, the Huai Army is still out of reach!

Even if the French army only dispatched three regiments of troops, the Huai army would not be able to withstand the crazy offensive of the French army, impact, impact!

The French army's frantic attack shattered the entire Huai army, and it was defeated to the ground, and at this time, the life-saving man finally arrived.

Bao Xin led the 5,000 Hunan army to finally arrive, seeing the defeated Huai army, Bao Xin didn't say a word, and pressed all the 5,000 Hunan army, and must repel the attack of the French army, otherwise, Pan Dingxin's Huai army will be completely stopped!

With the bloody courage that had just joined the war group, the Hunan army and the Huai army joined forces and wasted the strength of the French army to temporarily repel the French army!

In the distance, Bazin's brows furrowed, and another Qing army came, well, the combat power is not weak, and there are two hard bones in a row!

But what about the two hard bones, they can't withstand the hammer of the French artillery!

"Order, artillery to go on the offensive!"

In the rear, the French artillery was again thrown into the attack.

Finally, Bao Xin found Pan Dingxin, Pan Dingxin was covered in blood, in hand-to-hand combat, he cut five French soldiers alone, but his back was also violently jumped out of a huge hole by the French army's bayonet, dripping with blood, his leg was also limping, and he was obviously injured.

"Brother Qin Xuan, you can't be so hard-topped, the French army's attack is too fierce, retreat, you must temporarily retreat backwards, hold on and wait for reinforcements!"

Bao Xin shouted.

Pan Dingxin is now dead, he is too big, thinking that he has ten infantry battalions and three artillery battalions, even if he encounters thousands of French troops, he can grasp enough advantages, but he didn't expect that the French army is really strong, the artillery is too accurate, even if he fights bayonets, he can't fight others! The entire Huai army is nearly 6,000 people, and in most of the day, the casualties are close to 3,000, which is nearly half!

This is the elite of the Huai Army, and it is Quan Shuai who has worked hard to run it!

"Brother Qin Xuan, don't hesitate any longer, look at the current French army, the strength is more than 10,000 people! We are only seven or eight thousand people together, and we are not anyone's opponent at all, what we can do now is to rely on the terrain to carry out continuous resistance and wait for the arrival of the reinforcements! ”

Bao Xin said urgently.

"Retreat, retreat, immediately retreat towards the town of Octagon behind you! Get ready to stop again! ”

Octagonal Town is only seven or eight miles away from its current location, and a charge can almost be reached.

Bao Xin and Pan Dingxin retreated quickly towards the rear, but the octagonal town had already come into view, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded behind them.

The two of them were shocked, and when they looked back, their faces turned pale with fright!

Cavalry! The foreigners even brought cavalry!

That's right, it's the French Chasseur Regiment that has just completed the landing! A cavalry regiment has a strength of only 1,200 people, but in the pursuit battle, even if it is 1,200 cavalry, it can still completely defeat thousands of defeated troops!

It was difficult for the French infantry to catch up with the Qing army in a short time, but the cavalry was different, and in the blink of an eye, they were behind the Hunan army and the Huai army, and they were killed from behind!

The chasers were like entering a no-man's land, and the bright sabers were eye-catching under the reflection of the West, constantly slashing towards the Qing army! The retreating Qing army was simply unable to prevent the effective blockade, the team was completely scattered by the cavalry, and under the impact of the chassars back and forth, the Hunan army and the Huai army continued to rout, and they could not stabilize their positions at all, and they were defeated again and again!

Pan Dingxin and Bao Xin were beaten to the point of despair, they had never met such an opponent, it was too difficult, too difficult! I always thought that after defeating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Huai Army and the Hunan Army were strong armies that dominated the world, but I didn't expect that in front of the foreigners, they had no power to fight back at all!

The Hunan army and the Huai army retreated for more than ten miles in one breath, and only then did they gradually stop their footsteps, and the French chasseurs were afraid of a sneak attack, so they did not dare to break away from the main force too much, and slowly retracted their steps, only then did they give the Hunan army and the Huai army a chance to breathe.

Miserable! Embarrassed! Tragic!

No words are enough to describe the appearance of the Hunan army and the Huai army now, the Hunan army is better, after all, the war is late, the Huai army has gone through two fierce battles, and now the Dingzi battalion plus two artillery battalions have 6,000 people, and there are only less than 2,000 left! Still a fart? The Dingzi battalion has completely lost its combat power and has been broken up!

You can't retreat, you can't retreat, but you will reach the edge of Dagukou, here is only a dozen miles away from Dagukou, and if you have to retreat ten miles, the French artillery can directly hit the fort of Dagukou!

"Arrange, immediately on the spot! Even if the whole army dies in battle, it must withstand the attack of the French army and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Di Shuai! ”

Pan Dingxin hastily bandaged the injury and said fiercely. (To be continued.) )
