Yang Zha, Seng Lingqin and Shengbao led the Green Battalion and a part of the Mongolian horse team to closely defend against the attack of the British and French forces here, and also waited for the battle report from the front.

They heard the violent explosion of Shuangqiao very clearly, and then the fierce gunfire and fighting also came, from Yangzha to Shuangqiao only more than ten miles, naturally and clearly transmitted to the Qing army's position.

It didn't take long for the cavalry scouts sent out to gallop all the way back, and those who were far away shouted: "Report to the prince, great victory!" Lord Guo Ye is a great victory! A large amount of explosives were placed under the double bridge, and when the artillery passed through the double bridge, it was instantly detonated, and there were no less than hundreds of foreign devils who were blown up into the sky alone! The elite cavalry led by Lord Guo Ye has launched a surprise attack on the British and French forces, and the main force of the British and French forces is completely separated by the broken bridge. ”

Monk Lingqin was overjoyed, if this battle was won, then the danger of the capital would be all solved, without artillery, whether the British and French forces had enough cavalry, there was no need to be afraid!

Monk Lingqin laughed and said: "Ke Zhai, this Guo Ye really deserves to be the blessed general of our Qing Dynasty, even if he fights and wins, even if Sun Wu is reborn, it is nothing more than that!" Hahaha! For the time being, as long as we guard this acre and three points of land, with Guo Ye, we don't need to worry about it! ”

Katsubo was also overjoyed, and the successive big wins made his injuries invisibly much better, and he nodded again and again.

Monk Greenqin turned his head and shouted, "Explore and report again!" ”

The scout turned his horse's head and galloped away in the direction of the twin bridges.

Within an hour, the battle reports kept coming back, knowing that Guo Ye's cavalry had retreated from the north bank of the Shuangqiao.

Monk Greenqin listened to the battle reports, his mind kept turning, although because of the help of the Royal Cavalry Regiment, Guo Ye's cavalry had to retreat, but, this explosion, coupled with the surprise attack, the casualties of the British and French coalition will definitely be about two or three thousand, first killed and injured no less than hundreds, Guo Ye raided again, I am afraid that the artillery will also kill seventy-seven eighty-eight, it is definitely a big victory, and then, it depends on whether these green battalion soldiers can fight or not, if they play an extraordinary state, in the Gyeonggi area, even if they can't encircle and annihilate the British and French coalition forces, It is still very possible to drive it back to Tianjin!

The corners of Seng Greenqin's mouth brought a hint of a smile, and he shouted: "Someone, seven hundred miles urgently, send the good news to Rehe!" This time, we have to reverse the whole battle situation, hehe, Guo Ye, this kid disobeyed the holy will this time, beat Qin Cha, and made the first palace of monarchs and ministers very dissatisfied with him, with this great victory, it is enough to dispel all the dissatisfaction, let's sign two or three, I believe the emperor will be satisfied. ”

The good news had just been sent out, and another cavalry scout galloped from afar, came to Monk Greenqin, flew off his horse, and reported: "Lord Qiqi, the British and French forces on the south bank of the Shuangqiao are urgently assembling, and it seems that they are going to march at full speed to attack Yangzha!" ”

Seng Lingqin was taken aback, good guy, it seems that the British and French forces are really desperate, they just suffered such a big loss, and they dared to continue to attack Yang Gate, so bold! ，，

"Order, all departments are immediately ready to fight, and respond to the attack of foreigners at any time!"

Monk Greenqin looked at Ruilin and Shengbao on the side, and said: "Two, it is really surprising that the foreigners continue to attack without stopping, we can't be careless, Kezhai, you come to defend our left flank; Lord Ruilin, you are in charge of the defense of the right flank, and the middle will be handed over to this king, Guo Ye only has more than 3,000 troops, and he can defeat the British and French coalition forces, we have more than 20,000 elite soldiers here, if we can't block the attack of the British and French forces, then we will not have the face to gain a foothold in the court again! ”

Shengbao's face was solemn, and he replied: "Lord Wang, the British and French coalition forces are not good, but they can't be careless, the Chinese army is the first to bear the brunt, you have to be careful!" ”

Monk Greenqin nodded, and Ruilin and Shengbao retreated separately.

Ten miles away, for the infantry of the British and French forces, it would not take even an hour to reach the front of the Qing army's position.

Nearly 10,000 British and French troops rushed straight to Yangzha, and stopped when they were less than three miles away from Yangzha.

Monk Greenqin looked carefully with a monocular in the distance, and couldn't help but be shocked, even if the British and French forces suffered heavy losses, this army's appearance and bearing were still extraordinary, much stronger than the green battalion soldiers under his command! Today's big war, but some of them have been fought!

Monk Greenqin was secretly frightened and ordered all the departments below to take strict precautions.

On the opposite side, Saxton and Yaman had just arrived, and they gave a battle order, in order to protect the artillery from being hit by the opposing cavalry, the two left all the cavalry regiments in the rear, and also left an infantry battalion to protect, without cavalry and artillery, now they can only attack with infantry!

Saxton shouted: "Order, the first regiment of the French infantry and the first regiment of the British infantry will rush forward and attack the middle of the Qing army in front, the second and third regiments of the British infantry will attack the left wing of the Qing army, and the second regiment of the French infantry will attack the right flank of the Qing army, attack with all their might, and give me a hard beating, Lao Tzu must come out of this evil breath!" ”

The British and French forces did not have the suppression of artillery firepower, so they could only launch an attack like this, relying on the firepower of rifles, and launched an attack on the Qing army, and the British and French forces of more than 7,000 people all pressed up and launched a fierce attack on the Qing army!

The Qing army on the opposite side, under the command of Seng Lingqin and the other three, also showed no weakness and began to launch a counterattack against the British and French forces.

In the distance, the two artillery battalions of the Qing army began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment against the British and French forces, especially the artillery captured from the British and French forces, under the control of the firearms battalion with 200 people, the fire was fierce, and they continued to fall in the ranks of the British and French forces, and the whole battlefield was filled with gunsmoke!

Yaman's estimation of the Qing army is mostly correct, that is, the Qing army is indeed very unfamiliar with new artillery, except for the people in the firearms battalion, no one has used it, resulting in although they have sophisticated weapons, but the shells do not know where to hit, and there is no crosshairs at all! As for those who are too artillery, invincible generals, it is because the force is small, and the suppressive effect on the British and French forces is very limited.

However, Yaman never imagined that there was still a small army in the Qing army, which would use Western artillery, and it was very large, even if it could not catch up with the artillery of the French army, but it was much stronger than the ordinary army!

Shells were fired out and constantly fell on the positions of the British and French forces, forming a powerful barrier on the frontal battlefield! The Anglo-French troops attacking from the middle gave a heavy bombardment and hit back!
