Chapter 912: Cavalry Raid

In the evening, it was about ten o'clock. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bazin and Horton reorganized the main force and secretly left, Tianjin City, and began to advance in the southeast direction, coincidentally, this evening, the Lu army in the northeast and west directions did not attack at the same time, giving the four-nation coalition army a chance to leave Tianjin smoothly.

30,000 main forces rushed forward, more than 10,000 wounded and old, weak, sick and disabled in the back hung behind, Horton and Bazin constantly urged the army to move forward quickly, although they knew that there might be ambushes, but they also knew in their hearts that the closer they were to the direction of Dagukou, the greater their hope for future victory!

Advancing at full speed, in five hours, the Four-Nation Alliance Army advanced more than forty miles!

"Haha, General Bazin, I'm right, sure enough, the Lu army has all retreated to the area around Dagukou, what we have to do now is to rush towards Dagukou, break through! Assist our reinforcements to land quickly, and then south of Tianjin, annihilate all the Lu troops! ”

Bazin relaxed slightly, now he has broken through more than forty miles, there must not be much danger, now he has to think about continuing to advance ahead, and strive to reach a place less than thirty miles away from Dagu before dawn today, and when the time comes, even if there is an ambush, he is not afraid, because the distance of thirty miles is enough for the coalition army and the fleet to be linked!

"Well, General Houghton, order the whole army to continue to advance forward, and at dawn, strive to reach Haitang Town, which is thirty miles away from Dagukou!"

As soon as Bazin's words fell, the upheaval was abrupt!

From the north and south, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, rapid and dense!

From two directions, the two cavalry rushed straight towards the ribs of the four-nation alliance!

Cavalry, the cavalry of the Lu army and the cavalry of the Huai army, it is now three o'clock in the morning, it is the time when people's energy is the most exhausted, the four-nation coalition army has been fighting fiercely for several days, and now after five hours of forced march, some soldiers have been so sleepy that they can almost not support it, at this time, suddenly there are two such cavalry suddenly killed, it is really a big deal!

To the north are the two cavalry regiments of the Lu army and the cavalry battalion of the Governor Battalion, and to the south are the cavalry regiment of the third division of the Lu army and the Huai army horse team led by Song Qing, together, there are more than 6,000 cavalry!

More than 6,000 cavalry, launching a surprise attack at night is enough to deal a fatal blow to the allied forces of the four countries!

Bazin and Horton's faces changed greatly, the cavalry turned out to be the cavalry of the Lu army! Damn! How so many cavalry!

"Fight, fight! Artillery, protect the artillery! ”

Bazin kept roaring, commanding the four-nation alliance to start an emergency deployment, but don't forget, after all, they are the four-nation alliance, not the army of one country, English, French, Spanish and Japanese, each country's army has its own language, language barrier!

If it is in the peacetime positional war, there will naturally be an interpreter to convey various orders quickly and accurately, but now that it is a sudden attack, the problem of cooperation of the Four-Nation Alliance has been infinitely magnified, especially the Four-Nation Alliance is still in the process of rapid marching, Bazin's orders cannot be conveyed accurately and quickly, and he can only affect the French army around him, and the Four-Nation Alliance can only take care of their own own family and fight for themselves!

The army of the four countries, more than 40,000 people, is fighting on its own, and it is impossible not to show flaws!

The most unfortunate thing is that the ribs of the Shikoku Allied Army turned out to be the location of the Japanese army, the weakest link of the entire Allied Army, and behind the Japanese army was the artillery of Shikoku, almost all piled up, relying on the horses, and quickly advancing to the front.

The two cavalry were like two sharp swords, one rushed into the ranks of the Japanese army, and the Japanese positions were pierced, and the Japanese army, which had no fighting spirit, was scattered and fled, and there was no power to fight back, and the other was to launch a rapid charge towards the artillery team, and the powerful cavalry rushed into the artillery team!

The sound of gunfire is like bursting beans, and the sabre is cold!

Under the huge impact of the cavalry, the horses in the entire artillery camp were all out of order, and the well-trained horses could never withstand the huge impact of the cavalry, as well as the sabers!

With a knife cut, there will be an extra blood hole in the horse's body, and where can the extremely painful horse settle down? On the official road, the horses began to run around and neigh, the entire artillery camp was all in chaos, the unlucky artillery not only had to withstand the test of the cavalry horses, but also had to accept the test of the horses running wildly, for a while many artillerymen were seriously injured by the horses and horses, and even the unlucky ones were regarded as meat paste by the swords of the cavalry!

The two cavalry crossed over, one turned back, and surrounded in the southeast direction, it was obvious that this was to divide and surround the training army!

Even if the cavalry strength is far inferior to the Four-Nation Alliance, it is far from possible to surround the opponent, but there is still no problem in dividing the opponent, especially their artillery position, which is the focus of the cavalry, the cavalry of the Lu army has always been famous for surprise artillery, how can it let go of such a great opportunity this time? Song Qing's Huaijun horse team and the cavalry regiment of the third division cut off the coalition forces in front, and the cavalry regiments of the first and second divisions were specially aimed at the coalition artillery.

This time the action was too sharp, the cavalry took advantage of the right time and place, although the training force was strong, for a while, it was impossible to reverse the current passive situation!

Bazin stomped his feet anxiously, unlucky, too unlucky, he took precautions, but he still fell for Guo Ye's bastard's strategy.

Bazin continued to issue combat orders, and began to launch a counteroffensive against the cavalry, trying to rely on absolute strength to defeat the cavalry, at least to drive them out, not to let them scourge the coalition forces at close range, as long as they distanced themselves from the coalition forces, the infantry can suppress the cavalry's assault with powerful rifle fire and even artillery fire, not to mention the opponent's thousands of cavalry, even 20,000 cavalry is useless, under the fire defense of hundreds of cannons and tens of thousands of rifles, the cavalry has no chance at all!

Bazin's idea is good, but Lu Jun will never give them such a good opportunity!

The cavalry took the lead in launching the attack, followed by the attack of the first division of the Lu army, a few miles away, the first division of the Lu army, under the leadership of Gao Qi, has been waiting here for more than a day, and finally waited for the four-nation alliance to come, this time is the best opportunity to encircle and annihilate the four-nation alliance!

"The order, the whole division is dispatched, the artillery is firing with all its might, and the front position of the foreign devils is covered attack! Blow them up for me! (To be continued.) )
