Chapter 151: Yang Zha! Yang Gate!
Clemenceau scolded, and Yaman on the side also glared at Saxton with hatred, and wanted to rush up and beat him up personally, but, obviously, this is not appropriate, no matter what, he is also the commander-in-chief jointly formulated by Britain and France, and if he goes too far, it will be difficult to make a difference!
Yaman sighed, pulled Saxton up, and said: "Saxton, what now, almost all of our artillery are dead, and there are less than two hundred people who can hold on to the battle, these seventy heavy guns, but what to do?" ”
Saxton's face is terrible now, Clemenceau's punch made him not wronged at all, thousands of artillery losses have been lost, the city walls of Beijing are tall, and without the help of artillery, it will not be able to attack at all! Now Saxton himself wants to strangle himself, he is a pig's brain, he can't remember to eat or fight, he has been through a few times and learned a lesson, even if he is so careless!
Saxton was still in a mess in his heart, and he couldn't help but whisper, "Yaman, what other good ideas do you have?" I'm out of the box now, what do you think we should do now? ”
Yaman took a deep breath, this Saxton was already a waste, completely stunned by Monk Lingqin and Guo Ye!
Yaman replied: "Saxton, although our artillery has suffered heavy damage, we still can't slow down the pace of the attack, our artillery and ammunition are still there, our infantry casualties are not very large, and the main force is not damaged!" We still have a good chance of winning, and in the infantry regiment, there are also other soldiers who know artillery technology, so we will deploy all of them to the artillery and reorganize the artillery battalion! Then repair the twin bridges as fast as possible, and quickly advance towards the Yang Gate, without giving the other party any respite! In a word, we must attack again! Attack the Qing army before it reacts! ”
Saxton hesitated, "Yaman, attack now?" ”
"Yes, this is a must, the cavalry of the Qing army is now on the north bank of the Tonghui River, and almost all the troops stationed in Yangzha are all infantry, and the combat power is low, as long as we maximize our combat power and defeat the Qing infantry, we still have a certain certainty!"
Yaman replied.
Clemenceau shook his head and said: "Yaman, I don't agree with you, although the main force of the Qing cavalry is still on the north bank of the Tonghui River, it won't take long to return to Yangzha, and we can't defeat the main force of the Qing infantry on the opposite side in such a short time!" Moreover, we have suffered a new defeat and low morale, so we have thrown ourselves into a new battle, no matter what, it is difficult to win! ”
Yaman replied: "Don't worry so much, when you shouldn't attack, you rush forward, now it's time to attack, but you have to look ahead and look backwards, we have suffered a lot of losses, similarly, the main cavalry led by Guo Ye also has losses, three thousand cavalry, fighting with our two and a half infantry regiments plus artillery, their casualties are close to a thousand!" Moreover, the most important point is that the artillery they snatched from us, the people who will use it in the Qing army, are very few, and they can't exert their power at all, and if we delay it any longer, when they initially master our artillery, at that time, we will be more passive! ”
A few people were shocked, this factor, everyone didn't notice it at the time, they snatched the weapons and ammunition of one of our integrated artillery battalions in one go, once they really mastered it, it would definitely bring a huge threat to their own side!
Saxton gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, just listen to you, attack, we will launch a new offensive, give the order, immediately draw personnel from several regiments, form an artillery battalion again, repair the bridge, and transport the artillery over as quickly as possible!" Also, two French infantry regiments, plus our British infantry regiment, five regiments moved forward with all their might, rushed to Yang Gate as fast as possible, and launched an assault towards Yang Gate! ”
In the distance, Guo Ye at this time had also gathered his cavalry, and waited for a while in the area of Haojiafu, He Qimou led a cavalry to rush back, the two cavalry were in one place, He Qimou and the first battalion of the Royal Cavalry Regiment had a big battle, the two sides were not up or down, the entire cavalry battalion suffered nearly 200 casualties, as for the main cavalry led by Guo Ye, it was also traumatized, after all, it was in the face of the desperate struggle between the elite French army and the British army, an hour of fighting, more than 400 people were killed and more than 300 people were seriously injured, There were also some people who were slightly wounded, and under the first battle, their own cavalry paid nearly a third of the casualties, and the combat strength was greatly damaged!
But such a price, the payment is worth it, without the elite artillery, the artillery power of the British and French forces will be greatly reduced, without artillery, rockets can not be used in rainy weather, then the French army wants to organize a cavalry assault, it will be much more difficult!
Guo Ye ordered the brothers in his hands to bandage first, turned around, and said to He Qimou, "Big brother, how is it?" It's fun enough, right? ”
He Qimou said with a smile: "Not to mention, even if it is a white-knuckle battle, the cavalry combat power of this foreign devil is definitely not below us, but it is very strong, this is the most elite personal guard cavalry battalion under the monk king, and it is really exciting that it still can't defeat the other party!" ”
Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Big brother, don't underestimate the Western soldiers, this is only a part of it, our cavalry is the descendant of the monk king, but they are known as the Royal Cavalry Regiment, which is the British royal family, equivalent to the Guards, of course, the combat power is strong, the order goes down, the army takes a break to recuperate, immediately detour to the Sulong Bridge, and quickly return to Yangzha from the Sulong Bridge, in Yangzha, there is still a big battle waiting for us!" ”
He Qimou was shocked and asked, "There is still a big war?" ”
Guo Ye replied: "Of course! Do you think the Anglo-French forces will stop like this? ”
He Qimou was puzzled: "The British and French forces have suffered a lot of trauma, right?" ”
Guo Ye replied: "There are only more than 2,000 casualties, their total strength has reached 15,000 people, and the infantry strength is still there. ”
"We have artillery! Their artillery has just been slaughtered! ”
He Qimou said urgently.
Guo Ye said helplessly: "Big brother, it's not that I look down on the green battalion soldiers, even if I give them artillery, can they use it well?" I'm afraid that a shell will hit the head of the British and French troops, but it will hit the surface of my own feet! Even the ordinary infantry of the Anglo-French army can operate the cannon more accurately than them, and now the monk king can only rely on the more than 100 people under the command of my firearms battalion, and the rest of the green battalion soldiers are simply decorations! Don't say anything, immediately raise troops and prepare to return to Yangzha! ”
