Under heavy pressure, even if Lai Wenguang is resourceful, it is difficult to have the power to return to heaven, the gap is too big, this gap is not something that can be made up by the number of people at all, not to mention, the Taiping army under him does not want the main force under Shi Dakai, the Taiping army under Shi Dakai is brave and good at fighting, but the Taiping army under Lai Wenguang is a number, and he is in charge of fifty or sixty thousand Taiping troops, but most of them are indiscriminate, and the combat power is average, otherwise it will be embarrassed by the joint persecution of Shengbao and Seng Lingqin.

The Taiping army can't even deal with the green battalion, so how can it make the Baoding town soldiers an opponent?

The rout of the Taiping army was expected for a long time, the three-hour battle, the Taiping army paid thousands of casualties, and could no longer hold back the position, and the rout towards the south was defeated, Lai Wenguang tried his best to stop it, but he could not restrain the large-scale rout, and could only be coerced by the defeated army to retreat to the rear.

He Tengjiao led his cavalry to drive the Taiping army out for more than ten miles in one breath before he stopped his footsteps, this is not the end, He Tengjiao, who had already received Guo Ye's secret order, gave an order, and the three cavalry joined forces together, turned around and killed them in the northeast direction.

Back to the carbine, this is the real back to the carbine!

The northeast direction is Zhang Zongyu's Twist Army Cavalry, at this time the Twist Army cavalry is still in a state of stalemate with the infantry of Baoding Town, no one can help anyone in a short period of time, more than 10,000 cavalry is not so easy to be annihilated, in the same way, thousands of Baoding Town infantry with sophisticated weapons under the leadership of Gao Qi, also unstoppable.

The war between the two sides has reached a tragic point, and at this critical moment, the cavalry of Baoding Town, under the leadership of He Tengjiao, stabbed the cavalry from behind.

Four thousand cavalry killed straight up from behind, the rifle in his hand continued to shoot, forming a dense firepower, the cavalry of the twist army encountered the front and rear pinching, and they couldn't stand it in an instant, in the face of four or five thousand infantry, they could still have a slight advantage, but now there is also something out of the four thousand cavalry, and then there is a deadly threat of artillery, even if the cavalry of the twist army is outnumbered, it will not be able to recover the decline!

Zhang Zongyu was shocked, broken, he didn't expect to be copied by the Qing army, run, now there are only thirty-six plans to go to the top plan, and if he continues to fight, he will face the front and rear attacks of others, even if it is not the whole army annihilated, it will be a big injury!

Zhang Zongyu hurriedly ordered, the army retreated to the east, however, the current cavalry is not so easy to withdraw from the battle, not to mention the deep entanglement with the infantry of Baoding Town, the cavalry behind is enough for them to drink a pot, the cavalry one by one will be the war horses, not close to two hundred steps at all, in the distance to carry out crazy shooting, the cavalry of the Twist Army is beaten can not raise their heads, only relying on strong bows and arrows, where is the opponent of musket artillery?

The cavalry of the Twist Army, which got the order, desperately shook off the entangled infantry and retreated to the east, but this retreat was to completely expose their backs in front of the soldiers of Baoding Town, and the rifles were desperately shooting at this time, and the Twist Army cavalry suffered heavy casualties, especially the pursuit of the cavalry of Baoding Town, which made the Twist Army cavalry frightened and did not dare to turn back!

Zhang Zongyu ran out for twenty miles in the southeast direction, and only then did he gradually stop the pace of defeat, and the cavalry of Baoding Town gradually retreated.

Zhang Zongyu reorganized his cavalry at this time, and in just one day, the cavalry casualties exceeded 4,000 people, a loss of one-third! The most terrible thing is that this cavalry is different from the original elite, even if the original elite is defeated, it still has the strength to fight, but once this second-rate cavalry encounters a major blow, it will be completely scrapped, morale is low, and the morale of the army is lost.

Zhang Zongyu wanted to cry without tears, unlucky, the most important thing is that Lai Wenguang is too wasteful, too useless, the 20,000 army was defeated by the opponent's cavalry in one fell swoop! They have 20 infantry guns and 2,000 rifles, is there such a vulnerable army? Even their own Twist Army infantry is stronger than them.

Zhang Zongyu commanded the army to march all the way to the west, and Lai Wenguang's Taiping army joined the division in one place, Lai Wenguang is now even more miserable, it is better to twist the cavalry, after a battle, heavy casualties, plus the Taiping army that was lost on the way to escape, the loss of troops was as high as 8,000 people!

The most important thing is that Shi Dakai gritted his teeth and allocated to them the infantry artillery lost a single one, even if it was not destroyed, it was captured by the soldiers of Baoding Town into trophies, two thousand rifles, and now they can make up not even three hundred, first in the attack, they encountered the blow of the infantry of Baoding Town, with more than 600 casualties, and then under the charge of the cavalry, the foreign gun battalion suffered a heavy blow again, with nearly 1,000 casualties!

The Taiping Army is really injured, Lai Wenguang is now in the mood to wipe his neck, this is the first battle, in just one day, he lost one-third of his troops!

Zhang Zongyu said speechlessly: "King Zun, your Taiping army is too vulnerable, just a little time, your position was broken through by the cavalry, are they still soldiers?" It's not a rice bucket at all......"

Lai Wenguang glared at Zhang Zongyu and roared: "Zongyu, shut up!" Why don't you let your Twister infantry go up and try it? Let's see if they can hold on under the blow of nearly 100 artillery pieces? Joke! That's a hundred infantry guns, and with full firepower, we don't even have a place to hide, so we can only be beaten passively, and we can't even fight back! ”

"Don't you have artillery too? The Wing King had just allocated twenty cannons, so even if he wasn't the opponent of the Qing Demon, he wouldn't be defeated so easily......

Lai Wenguang sighed and replied: "Zong Yu, these artillery pieces are all from the United States, and there are few soldiers in the Taiping Army who can operate artillery, the first wave of shooting, all of them hit the front of their own positions, and there is also a shell, which fell on their own positions, and the Qing Demon didn't even lose a hair, but he killed several of his brothers, and more than a dozen were seriously injured, and the second wave of shooting all reached the Tangshui River. What is the purpose of this artillery? ”

Zhang Zongyu's face was black and similar to the bottom of the pot, specially, patronizing and glad that he had foreign guns and foreign cannons, he actually forgot about this stubble, no one will use it, ten bullets from the Qing Demon can kill five people in the Taiping Army, but ten bullets from the Taiping Army may not be able to withstand the Qing Demon, damn it, this is not shallow!
