It's just that it's too late to continue peace talks now!

Just when Prince Gong and Wen Xiang were discussing peace, the British and French forces had already launched an attack on Bali Bridge again!

Saxton sat in Zhangjiawan, and Meng Daban led the vanguard to pounce towards the Bali Bridge, this time, the British and French troops dispatched 12,000 men, including two French brigades, and two British royal cavalry regiments, respectively from the east, west, and south, to attack the Qing position.

The Anglo-French forces launched an attack on the Qing army's position at Baliqiao by three routes: east, west, and south. The west road was the 1st French Brigade commanded by Yaman, and the east road was the British army under the direct command of Grant. The South Road was responsible for the main attack on the Bali Bridge, and was the second brigade of the French army commanded by Corinneau.

The 1st Brigade of the French Army, west of Mondaban, launched a fierce attack on the left flank of the Qing army, and Seng Greenqin did not show weakness, and then sent his horse team up, and the horse army swooped towards the French army, and the momentum was terrifying!

Yaman's French First Brigade put all the artillery into the battle, most of the cavalry of the Qing army were sabers and spears, all cold weapons, and could only rely on the speed to charge, but the French artillery and rifles were not vegetarian, and the dense firepower made the horse team collapse, coupled with rows of rockets, it caused great trouble to the cavalry, and launched many charges in a row without being able to impact the French position.

Monk Greenqin was so angry that he even threw aside his top flower feather, and supervised the battle bareheaded! Seeing that it was still difficult for the cavalry to rush to the French position, Monk Greenqin gritted his teeth and pressed the cavalry battalion equipped with muskets to press up, no matter what, he had to repel the attack of the French army!

With the addition of the Guards cavalry battalion, the charge of the Mongolian cavalry went smoothly, hundreds of rifles, forming a certain suppression of the French army, and also covering the charge of the cavalry behind, and the forward of the cavalry had rushed to the front of the French position!

Yaman was still immovable, methodically commanding the army to fight, and blocked the cavalry on the edge of the position!

At this time, the South Road Army, led by the brigade commander Klinno, took the lead in launching an attack in the direction of Bali Bridge, and more than 4,000 people led by the artillery battalion charged towards the Qing army.

More than 30 artillery pieces of the artillery battalion began a fierce bombardment of the Qing army, and the Bali Bridge was suddenly in flames, and Shengbao, who was stationed at the Bali Bridge, ordered his soldiers to charge straight towards the French army, and it was not possible to defend to the death, and Shengbao's men lacked foreign guns and artillery, so they could not attack from a distance, and could only charge up for hand-to-hand combat.

A group of Qing troops began to charge towards the French army in the face of the French artillery fire, a distance of no more than two kilometers, completely under the cover of the French artillery, the powerful artillery fire, the Qing army was blown up to the ground, even so, under the personal supervision of Shengbao, the Qing army still fought to the death, approaching the French position, but when the Qing army was still hundreds of meters away from the French army, the Qing army was no longer able to advance half a step, at this time, the French soldiers, have opened fire, intensive firepower, the Qing army completely suppressed, Heavy casualties!

At the same time, Klinno gave an order, and the French army began to charge towards the Bali Bridge, without the stop of hot weapons, the French army rushed to the front of the Bali Bridge in one breath, and the rifles in their hands continued to shoot, and the Qing army was full of corpses, but they did not even touch the hair of the French army!

Shengbao's eyes were split, he pulled out the waist knife in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Order, all the soldiers rush forward, even if it is hand-to-hand combat, they must beat the foreign devils back!" “

Shengbao personally rode his war horse forward to supervise the battle, and the Qing army was even more crazy to launch a follow-up attack on the French army, but under the foreign guns and foreign artillery, the Qing army's charge seemed so weak that it was difficult to give the French army a powerful threat!

When Shengbao was brandishing the saber, a stray bullet hit, hitting Shengbao's left shoulder, Shengbao felt a soreness, his body shook a little, and he almost fell off the horse, and Yu Kun, the leader of the staff behind, hurriedly supported Shengbao on the horse, and said urgently: "Keshuai, the enemy's firepower is too fierce, and if we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to support it for long!" We need to take a break from it! ”

Katsuho roared angrily, "Bastard? Fall back? Where else can we retreat now? Resist me, there are still tens of thousands of cavalry there is still the monk king, as long as we hold on, the cavalry of the monk king will rely on speed to hit the flank or rear of the French army, that is our only chance! ”

Yes, the current monk Greenqin has also reacted, and the main direction of attack of the foreigners is not his own here, but on the Bali Bridge where Shengbao is stationed!

Damn it!

Monk Lingqin scolded angrily, "Order, mobilize the cavalry of the Kemeng Banner in the rear of Kandachen, assault the junction of the enemy's south and west roads, and cut off the connection between the two armies for me!" Mobilize the infantry and flank the French army at the Bali Bridge! ”

The cavalry and infantry mobilized by Seng Lingqin began to move, and once again rushed towards the south road, trying to defeat the French army that had broken through to the Bali Bridge in one fell swoop!

It's a pity that the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, although the strategy is great, Seng Greenqin keenly discovered the vacancy in the west and south of the Anglo-French coalition army, but it is also necessary for the army of Shengbao to be able to hold on to that moment!

The unlucky Katsubo had just received a bullet and was going to insist on continuing to command, but he didn't expect that the stray bullet found him again, this time it was a small shell, and a stray bullet fell near Katsubo, and exploded, and the unlucky Katsubo felt a sharp pain in his body, and several pieces of shrapnel were inserted into Katsubo's body!

Shengbao screamed and fell off the warhorse, and the warhorse under him also neighed and fell to the ground with a bang!

Yu Kun, who was beside Shengbao, was shocked, and hurriedly set up Shengbao, and roared miserably: "Retreat, the army will retreat to Dingfuzhuang first!" ”

I can't fight anymore, now I don't know if I'm dead or dead after being shot several times, and the morale of the soldiers has slipped down all of a sudden, how can I still be able to resist it, and suddenly increase the casualties!

Shengbao's army was shot due to Shengbao's bad luck, and the dragons were leaderless, so they had to break up to the rear, and threw a Bali Bridge to the French army.

Damn! It's almost like this, why don't Kezhai stop holding on!

Monk Greenqin was far away, of course, he didn't know that the current Shengbao was unconscious.

Without the cooperation of the Shengbao Department, how can this pincer battle be fought? It definitely won't work!

Monk Greenqin gritted his teeth, now he can only rely on himself!

"Order, the whole army charges, Lao Tzu fought with the ****** foreign devils this time, and all of them rushed up to Lao Tzu! Offensive! ”

Monk Greenqin's face was hideous, and he let out an angry roar.
