Chapter 465: Total Victory
It was a terrible battle, and when the British troops finally rushed out of the city, the British troops outside the city cheered with grief and indignation.
It's grief and indignation, not elation, because of the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood outside the city, where is the shadow of victory,
If it weren't for the exhaustion of the squadron's weapons and ammunition, it would be completely possible to intercept and annihilate the enemy forces here, and none of them would run away.
Qiu Yuancai looked at the south, hoping that the troops he had retreated from the area near the fort could arrive in time and intercept the enemy's back, so to speak, the British army had also gone through hard fighting, exhausted, ammunition and everything had been consumed, and they were mentally nervous to the extreme, as long as a thousand fresh troops could rush to intercept it, the British army's will to fight would definitely collapse,
The British army fled in embarrassment, Qiu Yuancai, Liang Chengcai and others were absolutely unwilling, and when there was no ammunition, they still rushed out of the city and chased the British army, and the British army fought and retreated, heading south.
At this moment, suddenly from the east of Guangzhou City, a large camouflage cloud swept in.
"Ah, our army is coming, our reinforcements are arriving."
The Chinese people inside and outside the city of Guangzhou cheered,
Yes, with the military flag of the middle **, the movement speed in front is extremely fast, and it is completely cavalry,
The overwhelming troops, how many cavalry can there be, at least 5,000 people, what kind of scale is this,
Others were only exclaiming, but Qiu Yuancai and Liang Chengcai and the others were different, they looked at it and suddenly exclaimed, "King Rui's pro-army has arrived." ”
King Rui is naturally Luo Yang,
Yes, it was Luo Yang who led his most elite troops to arrive,
Half a month ago, the British army's temptation, the British army stationed in Hong Kong lurking danger, all made Luo Yang realize that the British army's offensive direction, there are three, the current is Guangzhou, the battle situation here, will determine the British follow-up war behavior, therefore, the war in the Guangzhou area, very important, he asked the Guangzhou Military Region weapons and ammunition, the absolute number is not enough, he secretly led the troops to come, these five thousand cavalry, belong to the field troops, each two horses, carry two hundred rounds of ammunition, this equipment this number, But the rare troops in China, of course, they also carry mortars on horseback,
These troops, and not much hard to pull, the active twist army in the Central Plains is the best source of cavalry, after selection, selection, what is left here is the elite,
Starting from Nanyuan, Beijing, after a fourteen-day long journey, almost across most of China, this army came here, just in time to meet the big war.
The vanguard of the army in Guangzhou City is less than a thousand cavalry chasing the enemy, the rest are infantry, and then behind are the common people, tens of thousands of people pressed by the black, the Chinese people, more or less some wall grass style, at the first sight of victory, natural morale was greatly boosted, swarming, so, chasing and chasing, more and more Chinese, almost 100,000, and the appearance of the cavalry of the Luoyang Army pushed this battle to the most **,
100,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians, unable to catch up with the frenzied fleeing British army, only hundreds of cavalry, ate the enemy's tail, and did not dare to chase deeply, at this time, when I saw the reinforcements, I felt that there were a lot of overwhelming people, and the mood was so refreshing, as if I had beaten chicken blood, crazy,
Regardless of the fatigue of marching thousands of miles, the Luoyang army directly pursued the enemy, and soon, the four legs of the cavalry were fast, much faster than the two legs of the oceanic horse, and caught up with the enemy.
The cavalry charged while firing, and instantly rushed into the ranks of the British army, breaking it into a large rabble.
The Chinese cavalry warned the British army to surrender in simple English, and those who surrendered would not be killed, but where did the British army care so much, they all resisted desperately, and some even took the opportunity to shoot and plot, the Chinese cavalry army was annoyed, and when they saw the head, they chopped and screamed, and cursed,
The pursuit of the crazy Chinese cavalry made the retreating British army a fatherless child, and it couldn't be more bitter, either cut down or killed, many officers and soldiers who couldn't run anymore could only sit down with their butts up, hold their weapons above their heads, and live a little longer.
"Soldiers, the British army has been defeated, these messy guys are here to harm our country and people, we will definitely let them run away, come one, kill one."
This is Luo Yang's personal order,
He himself, under the protection of hundreds of cronies and guards, rushed into the ranks of the British army, left and right, slashing and shooting, that chic,
Luoyang's army chased out ten miles and wiped out most of the British army, along the way, there were dead and wounded British corpses and wounded everywhere, and the tragic scene made many British ** officers feel numb and abandoned by God.
Seeing it, it was at the mouth of the Pearl River, where it was estimated that there were British gunboat troops and light cruisers, and the British army ran faster, and this physique seemed to be marathon runners.
The Luoyang army found that the enemy was indeed showing signs of getting out of danger, so they strengthened the charge, and some troops desperately advanced the attack, striving to intercept the enemy, although the enemy army was very stubborn,
At this time, some troops joined in, this is the squadron retreating from near the fort, although there are not many, there are more than 3,000 people, their commander is very muddy, went the wrong way, saw the gunboats of the British army, immediately rushed over, with their own mortars and people bombardment, this side is in chaos, knowing that there are few shells, had to return, to reinforce the city, so, and the British army in the city of Guangzhou escaped head-on,
Look at the bear appearance of the British army, the middle ** also knew that the enemy was defeated, so he roared and pounced, wanting to eat all the enemies.
In this way, under the interception of 3,000 infantry, the 5,000 cavalry of Luoyang charged, shot, and bombarded with mortars, and ate up the remnants of the British army in an hour.
This is a terrible battle, a decisive battle of life and death, the British army is also very tenacious, who is on the verge of death and does not resist, the British army in this area still has the scale of seven or eight thousand,
In several places, the British army was able to form a formation, wanting to defend themselves and protect themselves, using infantry to fight against the cavalry of the first class, they used a dense row of hungry guns to bombard the cavalry of the first class, to a certain extent, the effect was achieved, at most, there were more than 200 Chinese cavalry, all of whom were killed in five minutes,
Luo Yang personally commanded and bombarded the enemy with artillery groups, nearly a hundred mortars, the size of an artillery regiment, is that a play,
It was these cannons that scattered the most difficult to gnaw on the British army, known as the most elite group of more than 5,000 people, one after another, and the corpses of the British army were thrown into the sky one by one, and then, the remains of all kinds of people flew in the sky.
The Luoyang army has been surrounded by infantry cavalry, forcing the enemy to shrink, and also using rifles to fight indiscriminately, so that the power of artillery can be fully exerted.
When the last of the British hundred-man squad was forced to disperse, a shot passed, leaving only wounded soldiers all over the ground,
"We don't fight, surrender, surrender." An authentic British ** officer, major, cried and said that he knelt quite standardly,
The British gunboats in the mouth of the Pearl River, actually entered the river, lined up, and bombarded the squadron on the shore, after defeating the enemy's troops, Luo Yang dispatched mortars, and quickly rushed to the riverside to bombard the enemy, although the caliber of the mortar was not large, but could not stand such a ferocious shell bombardment, ten minutes later, more than a dozen British gunboats along the river, eight of them rose from the thick smoke of gunpowder, to see that the situation was not right, the British ** team disengaged from contact and fled,
