"Come on, immediately mobilize troops, encircle and suppress the French cavalry that rushed into the city, quickly, we must not let them gain a foothold!"

Zhang Shusheng shouted frantically. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Liu Mingchuan was also shouting about the army, preparing to encircle and suppress the strength of the hunting cavalry regiment.

At the same time, the French army outside the city attacked again!

The artillery began to bombard the city of Tianjin again, more than 100 cannons, together with the might, enveloped the entire east city of Tianjin, under the cover of artillery, the two infantry brigades of the French army began a frantic charge!

The infantry of the two brigades launched a charge at the same time, the whole city of Tianjin, there were charging French infantry everywhere, the momentum was like a rainbow, this momentum alone had already shocked the Hunan army and the Huai army in the city, there were a thousand chasseurs rushing left and right, there were tens of thousands of infantry outside to pounce on the city, and the Hunan army and the Huai army who were still fighting at the gate of the city were completely chaotic.

Bao Chao and Nie Shicheng are in a hurry, if they continue like this, it will be over!

"Thunder Shuai, for the sake of today's plan, we have only one way to fight to the death, launch a counter-charge towards the French army, and beat their infantry back! Only in this way can Tianjin City be saved! ”

Nie Shicheng roared urgently.

Bao Chao also saw it, staying outside the city for a bloody battle, temporarily repelling the French army, it is possible to hold Tianjin City, but, in the same way, in a bloody battle outside the city, with the strength in their hands, I am afraid that there will be few people who can return to Tianjin City alive, maybe, he and Nie Shicheng will have to stay here!

However, now that there is a crisis, in order to keep Tianjin City, for the sake of the commander, for the Hunan army and the Huai army, this can only block the life!

"All units of the Hunan army, assemble, turn around, and charge at the French infantry!"

Bao Chao roared angrily and took the lead in rushing in the direction of the French infantry, while Nie Shicheng also roared and commanded the Huai army to attack the French army!

Bao Chao is known as the first fierce general of the Hunan Army, and he is naturally famous for his fearlessness of death, as for Nie Shicheng, Nie Shicheng is only in his thirties at this time, which is the age of blood and strength, and the three famous generals who can become the Huai Army in later generations naturally have their own merits, at least, Nie Shicheng definitely does not lack the courage and courage in danger!

The two men took the lead and led their soldiers to launch a counter-charge against the French army! This is completely out of Bazin's expectations, in Bazin's view, in less than two hours, defeated more than 20,000 Qing troops, the Qing army inside and outside Tianjin is afraid that they have already been beaten by themselves, and now launch a full-scale offensive, there are still chaser regiments under the city gate are constantly disrupting the situation, Tianjin City will be broken!

Unexpectedly, the Qing army really dared to launch a counter-charge at this time, and it was the Qing army that had just been defeated by itself, and the sun really came out of the west!

The French soldiers who charged ahead also did not expect that they should rush into battle, the two sides fought fiercely together, and the French siege was immediately contained by Bao Chao and Nie Shicheng, although this did not last long, at least, in a short period of time, the French infantry could not get close to the city of Tianjin, Liu Mingchuan and Zhang Shusheng in the city only needed to deal with the chaser regiment, and the Huai army in the city had no less than 5,000 people, so it could naturally withstand the impact of a chaser regiment.

Under the city of Tianjin and outside the city of Tianjin, on the two battlefields, the Qing army and the French army launched a tragic battle!

Zhang Shusheng led the Shuzi battalion under his command to launch a crazy attack on the Chaser Cavalry Regiment, resolutely driving the French cavalry out of Tianjin City, once they got a firm foothold, it would really be over!

The Huai army broke out at this time with amazing combat effectiveness, and launched a continuous attack on the chaser regiment, in the city of Tianjin, the place is small, even if the chasers enter the city of Tianjin, they can not give full play to the impact and speed advantage of the cavalry, the Huai army attacked in a big way, and actually drove the chaser regiment out of Tianjin City in one fell swoop!

It's just that the cavalry was repulsed, but now Bao Chao and Nie Shicheng are caught in a bitter battle with the French army, although the Hunan army and the Huai army are not bad, Bao Chao and Nie Shicheng are also loyal and brave, however, after all, there is a huge difference in combat power, and it is an attack with the French army, how can they resist it for a long time?

The French army gathered more and more people, and the troops that rushed up began to wrap themselves in the Hunan army and the Huai army from all sides, and seeing that they were about to surround the Hunan army and the Huai army again, Bao Chao's heart swelled with bitterness, he died if he died, Nie Shicheng rushed out of Tianjin City in order to save himself, and now he is also in a desperate situation, but he is sorry for his colleagues......

"General Nie, this time I have caused you to ......"

Bao Chao smiled bitterly.

Nie Shicheng hurriedly said: "Ting Shuai, don't talk this nonsense at this time, quickly, immediately retreat towards Beicheng, prepare to wait for the opportunity to retreat into Tianjin City, if you don't leave, we will really all die here!" ”

Bao Chao was stunned, and hurriedly commanded the Hunan army to retreat towards the north of Tianjin, but the speed of the French attack was too fast, how easy was it to get rid of the French army in front of him?

The two sides fought fiercely until night, and then the moonlight, Bao Chao and Nie Shicheng threw the French army away, and slowly retreated towards the city gate, at this time, the Hunan army and the Huai army together were only about a thousand people, and the eight thousand Hunan army and nearly three thousand Huai troops were completely annihilated by the French army in the daytime battle, which was the real main elite of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang!

"Gongting, Gongting?"

Nie Shicheng's war horse was in front, Bao Chao's war horse was behind, Bao Chao urged the horse to come and called Nie Shicheng, Nie Shicheng didn't say a word, Bao Chao was shocked, hurriedly caught up, and patted Nie Shicheng with his hand, "Gongting, you have a sentence......

It's just that Bao Chao's hand slapped Nie Shicheng, but he didn't expect Nie Shicheng's body to tilt and fall off the horse.

"Gongting!"

Bao Chao was shocked, but fortunately, Bao Chao was undoubtedly outstanding, with superb riding skills, hiding in a stirrup, his body bowed, and he withdrew Nie Shicheng from his war horse to his own war horse, only to see that Nie Shicheng was covered in blood at this time, and he couldn't tell whether it was the blood on his body or the blood of the enemy.

However, it is obvious that the shoulders, chest, and thighs are all wounds, not only gunshot wounds, but also knife wounds, no less than six or seven wounds, so many wounds, and a fierce battle for a day, even an iron man can't bear it, let alone a person?

Bao Chao hurriedly picked up Nie Shicheng off the horse, followed by torches, and bandaged Nie Shicheng hastily, "Order, all the brothers are heading towards Beicheng and rushing back to Tianjin City!" ”

Bao Chao didn't dare to delay for a moment, Nie Shicheng was seriously injured, if he couldn't get treatment, then he could only die!

"I can't die, I definitely can't die, I, Bao Chao, have never owed a debt of life on the battlefield, even if Lao Tzu dies, I have to save you!"

Bao Chao gritted his teeth, hugged Nie Shicheng, urged the war horse, and continued to march towards Tianjin City!
