Chapter 830: Bloody Red Mountain (6)

Killing Horton, I can't imagine that the Qing army would dare to launch a counter-charge towards the main position of the British army!

The speed of this cavalry is so fast that it is too fast to deal with!

Three arrows were fired at the same time, and the cavalrymen first held their horse pistols and continued to shoot, and then when they came closer, the sabers in their hands were already rounded, and they were down towards the artillery position!

On the artillery position, all the artillery did not have rifles, let alone bayonets, they all relied on the protection of the guard battalion, and when they were caught off guard, the guard battalion did not have time to move, and the cavalry entered the position, and the bright sabers kept beckoning to the heads of the artillerymen!

Cutting melons and vegetables, the three cavalry battalions are like entering a no-man's land, cutting people when they see them, and the unarmed artillery is completely a group of lambs to be slaughtered in front of the cavalry!

From the left, the cavalry charged, completely penetrating the British position, leaving behind a place of stumps and broken arms and artillery lying on the ground and wailing!

Horton was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, careless, completely careless, in the case of victory, the guard battalion completely relaxed its vigilance, patronized to see the excitement in front, and did not have the slightest reaction to the cavalry assault, which led to this defeat!

Although the artillery was not damaged, the artillery lost nearly 1,000 people! The officers and men of the two artillery battalions were brutally sacked by the cavalry!

"Fight back! Get ready to fight back! ā€

The charge in front had to be stopped, in the face of the threat of more than a thousand elite cavalry, Horton did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, Guo Ye's cavalry had fought with the Cossack cavalry of Tsarist Russia, even the Cossack cavalry suffered a big loss under the cavalry of Baoding Town, the battle of Tongzhou, the British and French troops were suppressed by the cavalry of Baoding Town and could not raise their heads!

Layers of infantry surrounded the artillery and protected it, with the muzzles of their guns all facing outward, in case the cavalry charged again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, Zhang Hexiang is not a fool, how can he launch another assault on the premise that the British army is ready? This kind of deal is not cost-effective, but the British army under the Red Mountain can't afford to be provoked, what about the British army under Niu Qingshan?

Under the Red Mountain, the British army and the Japanese army together were nearly 30,000 people, but the British army and the Japanese army under Niu Qingshan together could not support more than 5,000 people!

"Don't turn around, the three cavalry battalions will go north with all their might, attack the British position at the foot of Niu Qingshan, and then pull them hard!"

The three cavalry battalions did not stop and charged straight towards the British position under Niu Qingshan!

Hearing the chaos of the British army at the foot of the Red Mountain, the British army under Niu Qingshan was at a loss for a while, what happened? Well, seeing that victory is in sight, why did the main position mutiny?

The British hurriedly inspected the situation!

"I'm rubbing, cavalry!"

By the time Niu Qingshan's British army saw what was going on, three cavalry battalions had already swept towards Niu Qingshan!

"Fight, fight!"

The British brigade commander Chekchek roared.

Groups of British infantry hurriedly moved and prepared to organize a cavalry charge, but more than a thousand cavalry were not so easy to be stopped by the infantry, this was not the Mongolian cavalry under Seng Lingqin, but the Lu cavalry whose equipment was not inferior to the British army!

"Bang ......"

The cavalry galloped, the horse pistols in their hands kept ringing out, like bursting beans, rushing to the battle, how could the British army withstand the rapid assault of the cavalry? It didn't take long for the cavalry to rush to the edge of the position, and the rifle in his hand had been replaced by a bright saber!

The three cavalry battalions were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, wantonly slaughtering the Anglo-Japanese coalition army, looking like revenge, the Anglo-Japanese coalition army was completely stunned, and the entire Anglo-Japanese coalition position under Niu Qingshan was shocked by the cavalry!

Chekchek had to order the Anglo-Japanese forces to retreat, throw off the cavalry charge, and temporarily avoid the edge!

"Cavalry, our cavalry is coming, it's our cavalry that has arrived! Artillery, attack Lao Tzu, adjust the firepower, and attack with all your might! ā€

Above Niu Qingshan, the head of the regiment Zhang Xiaotang burst into tears with excitement, and finally gave the reinforcements to hope, this time the old men have to take revenge and revenge! Foreign devils, don't talk about killing them all, Lao Tzu swears not to be a man!

Not only Zhang Xiaotang on Niu Qingshan, but also Duan Zhiqiang on Red Mountain were excited, the cavalry arrived, and now Red Mountain and Niu Qingshan are safe!

Then the temporary confusion of the Anglo-Japanese forces, the second brigade opened full firepower, and a surprise attack beat the Anglo-Japanese forces back again!

In two assaults, the cavalry regiment completely played its own prestige and became famous in the first battle! Dare to charge directly in front of an enemy ten times his size, or even twenty times his own, and even kill a thorough, such a battle is not something ordinary generals dare to do!

However, Zhang Hexiang dared, and the cavalry of Baoding Town dared!

With cavalry on the sidelines, the arrogance of the Anglo-Japanese coalition was completely suppressed.

Horton was so angry that he was so angry that he finally had to succeed, because the appearance of the cavalry was completely lost, and he had to start all over again! It's just that now the cavalry is eyeing the sidelines, and it is not so easy to calmly organize an attack!

Horton had to not adjust his forces and prepare to attack again!

On Niu Qingshan, Zhang Hexiang had already seen Zhang Xiaotang, "Filial cousin, brother, I'm late, I'm sorry, haha......"

"Brother, don't say kind words, Chief of Staff Duan is afraid that he won't be able to stand it, I want to hand over Niu Qingshan to you temporarily, and I will go to the aid of Hongshan!"

Zhang Hexiang nodded and replied: "No need, Xiaotang, our third brigade is already on the way, at most it will take an hour at most, you can reach Hongshan, the two of us will join forces, if they attack Hongshan again, then we will attack the flank of the British and Japanese coalition forces with all our might, so that they dare not attack with all their strength, as long as we hold on until the main force of the third brigade arrives, that is the moment of our decisive battle with the British and Japanese coalition forces, this time we must let the foreign devils know what it means to be painful!" ā€

When Zhang Xiaotang heard this, his heart was a little steady, the second brigade has really arrived, at least there is no problem in holding Hongshan and Niu Qingshan, although the strength is still far inferior to the British and Japanese coalition forces, but with the help of terrain and heavy machine gun firepower, the British army can not take any advantage!

Zhang Hexiang was right, in an hour, Horton's troop deployment had just been adjusted in place, and a violent cannon sound had already sounded behind the red mountain, and one shell after another hit from the back of the mountain and fell straight to the front of the mountain!

The strength of six or seven thousand people poured into the Red Mountain again! Red Flag Recruitment!

Reinforcements! Reinforcements!

Horton was shocked, a brigade of Qing troops was already full of blood, and now the Qing army actually came with thousands of people, wanting to pass through the middle of the two mountains, and it was overwhelming! (To be continued.) )
