Chapter 209: The Defeat of Guo Jun

As soon as he rushed out, Guo Songlin was triumphant, brandished his saber, and bravely rushed towards the enemy: "Kill." ”

More than 400 cavalry, is the Huai army is not a small number, but also elite, in the battle with the Taiping army, often a cavalry charge of the Huai army, can scare the Taiping army, collapsed into an army,

This is because the Taiping army in the later period was huge in number and complex in type, and under the blow of the superior weapons of the Qing army, it was already demoralized.

Dong Fuxiang's army on the north road, with more than 3,500 people, is the main force, and everywhere else, there are troops, a mixed formation of an infantry division, there are 10,000 people, which is really not much.

"Come on, call Lao Tzu." Dong Fuxiang roared angrily,

More than five hundred cavalry rushed forward, and the rest of the infantry was ready for battle,

The cavalry of the Twist Army was distributed everywhere, and the cavalry here was prepared by the surrendered Hui Army, Dong Fuxiang was not distressed, so he could fight them casually,

The Hui army surrendered to the Huaxia army, knowing the power of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, it was naturally loyal and serving, so the battle was very brave.

I can't help but say that Dong Fuxiang is a little unkind, he wants to borrow back the strength of the army, consume the enemy, and then use his own army to break the enemy's insidious deceit.

The cavalry of the two armies, who were evenly matched, fought for a quarter of an hour, and in the fierce struggle, each suffered casualties, and soon, the melee of 800 people was reduced by half.

The infantry of the Qing army has lined up and is ready to fight, and on the opposite side, the infantry of the Dongfuxiang army, 3,000 people, is also ready,

Guo Songlin is very cunning, seeing that the enemy's cavalry is also brave, so that if it is consumed, I am afraid that the cavalry that I have worked so hard to get will be wiped out, so he hurriedly roared and led the team to retreat,

This is one of the skillful tactics, as soon as he retreated, the rest of the Huai cavalry also followed, decisively broke away from the battle, and retreated to the south.

The Qing army was defeated,

The cavalry of the returning army was about to make meritorious contributions to the master, how could they let go of such a great opportunity for meritorious service, so they swarmed in, the iron horses trampled, and the dust was rolling, because they bit very tightly and died, so that more than 30 cavalry members of the Huai army in retreat were cut off their horses and completely died.

Guo Songlin glanced back, there was no regret, but a smug and deceitful smile,

"Hmph, you'll see."

The cavalry of the Huai army, scattered, retreated towards the infantry formation, the infantry troops, were segmented, with many intervals in between, so that the cavalry quickly passed through and retreated to the rear,

The cavalry of the Hui army arrived, wanting to mix into the cavalry of the Huai army and rush to kill and break the enemy in one fell swoop.

Easier said than done,

The infantry and foreign spear team of the Huai army, although there were not many, there were several hundred, three columns in a horizontal row, waiting for the battle, and when they saw the enemy cavalry rushing to them, they immediately shot.

The smoke of gunpowder was filled, the ammunition was bursting, and the cavalry of the Huaxia Army was full of casualties.

The cavalry of more than 500 people was beaten by the foreign spearmen of the three rows of Huai Army, and half of them were not enough.

"Withdraw." Dong Fuxiang no longer dared to laugh at Qiu Yuancai in his inner world, fighting with the Huai Army was not a joke,

Fortunately, those who suffer are the Hui Army, hum,

Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the remnants of the Hui cavalry hurriedly retreated, even ignoring the wounded companions.

Guo Songlin laughed, as a veteran of the battlefield, he has experienced many hard battles, and is not afraid of temporary setbacks, and now, he finally turned defeat into victory, so he shouted and commanded the whole army to attack,

The foreign spearmen were all light infantry, quickly loaded with new ammunition, and marched forward, like an iron wall, while the rest of the infantry and cavalry, either following or attacking to the two flanks to protect, the well-trained Huai army, showed a fairly high military quality,

Dong Fuxiangjun looked at the setback, in fact, he was not worried, this was just a small encounter, the officers and soldiers of the Dong army were waiting for the battle, without the slightest meaning of retreat or fear, in the northwest region, it was also a long-tested army, they were not afraid of the Huai army, Huaxia Tian** since the army, invincible, so that every officer and soldier of the Dong army was so confident that they were about to their tails,

In the front of the infantry, swords and guns are raised, and behind the infantry, the flying thunder cannon is ready,

The Qing army assaulted, and soon came to the front, and within a range of two hundred meters, suddenly halted the troops, preparing to attack,

At that time, foreign guns, using black powder, the highest range was 274 meters, and there was a lot of gunsmoke, only after the yellow powder invented by Nobel was used in military production, the big problem was solved, so that the range of the rifle increased to more than 900 meters,

Only by striving to shoot at the nearest distance can the best killing effect be achieved, so the foreign spearmen of the Huai army are also quite brave.

It's a pity that when the Huai army was suspended, Dong Fuxiang had already found the opportunity,

It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but he wants to find a better opportunity, like now, "light the cannon and bombard the enemy." ”

The ignited flying thunder cannon exploded rapidly, and large explosive packets flew towards the enemy.

The Huai Army's foreign gun team is still being rectified, if the team is not organized, how can it play a platoon of guns, in fact, the foreign gun team also needs strict discipline and order.

Boom Boom,

In the terrible explosion, hundreds of foreign guns of the Huai army were completely shrouded in smoke, and at the same time, a large number of Huai infantry were hit by shells.

With just one round of shooting, hundreds of the most elite and most dependent foreign spearmen of the Huai army were confiscated.

"What's going on?" Guo Songlin was so frightened that he didn't know what to do,

If he hadn't been in the back and dared to be in front, he would have been smashed by an explosive package shell.

Terrible screams, terrible corpse fragments, terrible blood splatters, making the Huai army a slaughtered lamb,

The follow-up troops of the Huai army were frightened, no one knew what the situation was, why they didn't see the enemy's artillery, but they saw so many powerful shells, which were really much more powerful than foreign shells.

The maximum firing range is 260 meters, and the range of ordinary flying thunder guns is only a little weaker than that of foreign guns.

"Boom, boom, boom to Lao Tzu, and blast these eight lambs of the Huai Army into scum." Dong Fuxiang was elated when he saw that the artillery was powerful and the Huai army was recruited.

The Huai army was in chaos and could not form an army,,

This is of course an opportunity, Dong Fuxiang's army immediately charged, especially those infantry, who had been waiting for a long time,

The Huai army, which was unable to form an army, was still very brave, and without a military order, they were stunned and did not retreat.

As long as the enemy dares to rush, the Huai army will dare to fight each other in short arms, so Guo Songlin also relieved his breath and charged angrily, wanting to fight to the death with the Huaxia army.

He suddenly felt that those cannonballs were just foreign cannons that the Huaxia Army had hidden very deeply, and now, since they had rushed, it meant that their shells were gone.

The rear team of the Huai army attacked bravely and wanted to turn back the situation, because there were still three or four thousand people behind.

Unexpectedly, Guo Songlin had just rushed out of the 100 meters, and before he could slash the saber on the heads of any of the Chinese officers and soldiers, he was confused by a big thing flying from the opposite side: "Hmm." ”

Rolling over came a small thing, canned, sparkling, and though he knew it was a bomb, he was amazed, and hurried to dodge,

Unexpectedly, the other side suddenly exploded violently, and he felt a huge force holding him up, so he flew into the air, and at the same time, after the Venus in front of him, there was a long darkness,
