Chapter 116: The Fall of Beitang and the Battle Situation Are Urgent

Seven or eight hundred cavalry columns formed more than ten columns, under the command of Shengbao, began to charge towards the opposite French army, hundreds of cavalry charged together, such a scene is really magnificent, if it is the domestic green battalion soldiers, it is estimated that they will be frightened to disperse, no infantry is willing to be trampled by the horse's hooves into flesh!

Although the current Eight Banners cavalry is not in combat power, this outfit is still good, with bright swords, clean harnesses, and tall horses, from the outside, it is very glamorous.

It's a pity that today's cavalry encountered the strongest French army in the world at that time, no one, whether it was the British, or the Russians, or the Prussians, in this era, it was recognized that the French Army was the best in the world, and the army brought out by Napoleon was rarely rivaled in Europe, even if the era of Napoleon had passed, the French Army was still heroic!

Rows of French troops began to fire at the cavalry in turns, and the bullets were dense like rain! The cavalry that concentrated on the charge was unlucky, and the cavalry of Shengbao still maintained the original ancient tactics, charging from the front with dense troops, trying to rely on the impact of the war horse to directly impact the position of the French army, as long as they could get close to the French army, the French army would definitely collapse at the touch of a button!

However, he did not expect that the French army was not holding a broadsword and spear, but an advanced rifle! All rear-loading rifles! The rain of bullets came towards the cavalry, in addition to the rifles, there were also powerful artillery, the huge explosion blew the horses directly into the air, and the cavalry was directly beaten into a sieve by the bullets, and fell under the horse!

Seven or eight hundred cavalry had not yet charged in front of the French army, they had been beaten by sharp firearms, and in the blink of an eye, the casualties exceeded five hundred, and the remaining cavalry were like frightened birds, where did they dare to face the muskets head-on?

This is not a charge at all, this is a death! Death in vain!

The terrible neighing of war horses and the screams of the Qing cavalry stunned Shengbao, it turned out that the war could still be fought like this! It turns out that the infantry can still hold off the cavalry like this! It turns out that there is no cavalry in this world anymore!

I'm a drop cavalry? , the cavalry I have worked so hard to accumulate! This is the cavalry of the Beijing camp, the cavalry that protects the emperor's safety! was beaten like this, and he still had to be chopped alive by the emperor?

Shengbao wanted to cry without tears, his heart was hot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!

On the other side, Meng Daban looked at the defeated cavalry and laughed arrogantly, this is the cavalry of the Qing army? It's not vulnerable at all! Their tactics are still stuck in more than 200 years, right? It's really impatient to dare to launch a dense charge in the face of a large number of infantry gun arrays! I knew that why did Lao Tzu bring 5,000 troops? Two thousand men are enough to raze them!

"Command! The whole army is on the offensive! ”

Meng Daban shouted an order, and the French army launched a rapid offensive against the Qing army, and thousands of French troops rushed towards the two hills of the Qing army like a storm and waves, and the rifles in their hands continued to shoot forward! As for the heavy artillery in the back, it opened fire with all its might, constantly bombarding the Qing army!

The Qing troops in Beijing fought back, trying to organize the advance of the French army, it was a waste of effort, the French army charged four or five hundred meters away, and the bullets could reach the position of the Qing army, but the bows and arrows of the Qing army could only shoot halfway, and they fell, and they couldn't even touch the hair of others!

The casualties of the Qing army are getting bigger and bigger, and Shengbao's heart is getting colder and colder, it's over, Beitang will definitely not be saved, it's only been an hour, and the sky has just brightened! The 2,000 Qing army has already suffered heavy casualties, at least more than 1,000 casualties, and there are less than 800 people who can still fight.

The French army on the opposite side is getting closer and closer, the sound of guns and cannons is more intensive, and finally the Qing army can't stand it, the huge sense of fear swallows the fighting spirit of the Qing soldiers, the morale plummets, and the legs of the Qing army tremble, if it weren't for the fact that their own Keshuai is still standing in front, I'm afraid that everyone would have turned around and run away, who is still left to die? These foreign devils are so powerful, ******, they are not human beings at all, they are simply devils!

In the end, Shengbao couldn't hold on, the casualties were too great, such a large casualty made this fierce general frightened, led the horse, flew up, turned around and ran!

Let's save your life first, if you don't have anything else, you can find a chance to do it again, if you don't have a small life, you won't have anything to do with yourself, and the daylily is cold!

The Qing army was defeated like a mountain, scattered and fled, not even recognizing the direction, and running all over the mountains!

Meng Daban commanded the army to chase closely from behind, and came straight to Dagukou!

Dagukou, now the monk Greenqin, has no time to pay attention to these, one, the sky has not yet dawned, the British and French forces launched a fierce attack on the Dagukou fort above the sea, He Zhengqing boarded the fort again, personally commanded the battle, the war is urgent; Second, the current monk Lingqin also ushered in a minister of the Imperial Mission-Yiledonga, the secretary of the Lifan Academy!

Ildonga obeyed the will of Xianfeng, led 8,000 Beijing battalions from the capital to Dagukou, came to help the war, at this time the monk Lingqin while supervising the battle, but also to take care of this Qincha Lord!

Ildona has always been pampered, where has he been on the battlefield? I don't know why this time, the emperor's string is wrong, and it actually hit his head, and the defense of Gyeonggi still has Sushun, Duanhua, and Zaiyuan Zaedun, and there are generals of various banners, and a civil official of his own, was driven to the former enemy by the emperor, which is really speechless.

Ildonga slandered the emperor on the one hand, and at the same time asked Monk Grinqin about the current war situation.

Monk Greenqin looked at the pale face of Ildon, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, is there really no one in the capital? The emperor actually sent such a fool! Looking at the age, they are almost seventy years old, not to mention riding a horse, ****** they have to be supported when they walk!

"Lord Ildona, now the war is in a stalemate, we have dozens of forts, nearly 100 artillery pieces, strong combat power, there will never be anything, this king dares to ensure that Dagukou is fine!"

As soon as Monk Greenqin's words came out, a war horse galloped in!

Wan Qikai, the commander of the Beijing camp, was still dozens of steps away from Monk Greenqin, and he had already fallen from his war horse and shouted: "Lord, Lord!" Oh no, thousands of foreigners landed from Beitang, and the soldiers pointed directly at Dagukou! ”
