Only a quarter of an hour later, due south, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded, and He Tengjiao personally led six battalions of cavalry to rush over from the south.

Zhang Zongyu's eyes narrowed, and he shouted: "Okay, all the cavalry in Baoding Town have been transferred out, retreat immediately, and return to the direction of the artillery battalion, today, we will take revenge fiercely!" ”

Zhang Zongyu led more than 1,000 cavalry and then rushed towards the direction of the artillery battalion.

In the main position of Baoding Town, the cavalry of the four battalions all burst out and rushed towards the north like a hurricane, and the various infantry battalions below also began to move, making a mess.

Not far away, Du He had already gotten the news, the opportunity came, Zhang Zongyu led more than 1,000 people to raid the pine forest, but left the main force to himself, he brought nearly 3,000 cavalry here, watching the cavalry of Baoding Town gallop away, Du He knew that the time was ripe, and shouted: "Order, all the cavalry immediately move towards the enemy's artillery to surprise the attack!" ”

The 3,000-strong cavalry of the Twist Army launched a rapid charge, and the sound of horses' hooves suppressed the chaotic sound of Baoding Town in an instant!

Twist bandits! Twist bandits!

The two cavalry battalions protecting the artillery battalion immediately discovered the movements of the bandits, and they also took action at that time, and now the cavalry of the other six battalions has been transferred, and now in one breath, the cavalry left for use appeared, and they came straight to the artillery battalion, and the intention was obvious!

Zhang Hexiang shouted: "Brothers, cheer me up!" Get ready for battle! ”

With the assembly of the cavalry, the guns began to shake the sky, and the morale of the cavalry of the Twist Army now also rose with the successful sneak attack, constantly impacting the position of the artillery battalion, however, the two cavalry battalions in Baoding Town are not easy to mess with, the rifles in their hands are constantly shooting, and the troops are not as good as you, then the weapon will be topped, Lao Tzu will not fight with you in a white-knuckle battle, just stand in the distance to fight you!

It's just that it's late at night, it's already past the early morning, and the smoke from the north drifts along the north wind, covering the sky and the sun, and there are no five fingers on the opposite side, and it is not so easy to stop the cavalry.

Fortunately, there is still a trump card in Baoding Town that has not been used, that is, the infantry, the infantry is chaotic, it is just Guo Ye's old suspicious soldiers, here is far away from the pine forest, what else is there to panic, it seems to be panicked, it is just that Guo Ye and Gao Qi are transferring troops.

Guo Ye mobilized six infantry battalions and 3,000 people in one breath, attacked to the north and south respectively, marched to the two flanks of the Twist Army cavalry, and began to attack the Twist Army cavalry, 3,000 people came up at once, plus two cavalry battalions, even if the Twist Army cavalry was powerful, it could not withstand such dense firepower, and the casualties of the Twist Army cavalry began to rise in a straight line.

Du He secretly said that it was not good, I didn't expect this Guo Ye's reaction to be so fast, it was absolutely impossible to pack up the artillery battalion today!

"Order, withdraw troops!"

Du He shouted, and the Twist Army began to retreat rapidly towards the east, but the soldiers of Baoding Town have already been killed by now, when did the soldiers of Baoding Town suffer losses? Even if he made a move with the big nose of Tsarist Russia, he had the upper hand, and today he actually let the bandits of the Twist Army put a fight, and the boat capsized in the gutter!

The infantry battalion was slow and could not catch up with the cavalry of the Twist Army, but the cavalry of the two battalions rushed over under the leadership of Zhang Hexiang, biting the Twist Army cavalry to the death, trying to fight to the death again.

Du He was a little anxious in his heart, he would suffer too much if he continued to fight like this, in the retreat, the cavalry of the Twist Army were all facing away from the Baoding cavalry, and the entire back was exposed to the guns of others, and the casualties were absolutely heavy, but they fought back head-on? There are thousands of infantry behind them, and they are still strong, and when they were in Tangshui River, the cavalry of the Twist Army had already learned the power of the infantry battalion in Baoding Town.

When Du He was anxious, Zhang Zongyu's cavalry arrived, and the two sides worked together to repel Zhang Hexiang, and the cavalry of the Twist Army was combined in one place, and withdrew forty or fifty miles after heading south, at this time, the sky was already bright.

"Haha, good, good, this battle is happy, happy, Du He, we have finally avenged this arrow!"

Zhang Zongyu laughed, tears flowed down, thinking of his uncle, Zhang Luoxing, and the two uncles and nephews are now only left with themselves, which is really distressing.

"Yes, King Liang, this raid is beautiful, now I'm afraid that Guo Ye has already jumped like thunder, without this batch of baggage, the pace of the Qing army's advance will be delayed for at least seven or eight days, seven or eight days, we are afraid that the reinforcements in various places will almost arrive, only when the army gathers, we can fight to the death with Baoding Town!"

Du He echoed.

Zhang Zongyu said coldly: "Du He, why don't we kill them again?" Anyway, we still have three or four thousand cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they can't keep us if they want to! ”

Du Hedeng was startled, and hurriedly stopped: "King Liang, you can't mess around at this time, when you attacked the artillery camp just now, Guo Ye already had a defense, I can only say that this guy is too shrewd and reacts quickly, I am afraid that the entire Qing Dynasty is unsurpassed, at this time, if we kill back, we can only seek our own death, and we will definitely fall into the trap of the Qing demon, when the time comes, it will be too late for us to regret it, according to my thoughts, let's immediately go south to chase King Zun, and return to Xinxiang City with King Zun, it is the best policy!" ”

Zhang Zongyu frowned and asked, "It's not that serious, right?" ”

Du He hurriedly said: "King Liang, now we have only these thousands of cavalry left, we can't afford to lose, and we definitely can't afford to take this risk, preserving strength is the best strategy, go, hurry up, no one knows, when the cavalry of the Qing Demon will catch up!" ”

Zhang Zongyu had no choice but to reorganize the army, and was carried south by Du He.

The pine forest, this fire, has been burning for five or six days, before it is gradually extinguished, the weather is cold, there is no way to rescue, the soldiers of Baoding Town can only brave the fire to fight for their lives to rescue food and ammunition, but, the fire is burning everywhere, how can it be in time?

By noon the next day, when Guo Ye had arranged the main army and rushed over with He Qimou, it was already too late.

Guo Ye looked at the statistical report in his hand, and his eyes were so angry that his eyes erupted into flames: more than 100 soldiers died in the fire in the baggage battalion, more than 100 people were seriously injured, and some were burned to minor injuries, and dozens of people were missing. In addition to the baggage battalion, it is the cavalry, in order to rescue the baggage, more than ten cavalry people were burned to death by the fire, and dozens of people were burned, and the losses were heavy!
