Zhang Zongyu was shocked when he heard this, the Qing army showed a flaw at this time, it was really incredible!

Zhang Zongyu urged the war horse to a high hill, holding a telescope, carefully watching the flank position of Baoding Town, sure enough, on the flank position of Baoding Town, I don't know what happened, the middle gate was opened, and many infantry began to be in intensive mobilization, moving closer to the middle!

That's right, it's the middle door wide open! If the Twist cavalry really launched a fierce attack on their flank positions, it would be difficult to restrain the charge of the Twist cavalry with only the infantry on both sides!

Zhang Zongyu was overjoyed, it seems that the Taiping Army's attack has achieved certain results, although the Taiping Army's casualties are not small, but after all, the Qing Demon was beaten a little messy, or foreign guns and foreign cannons are better used!

"Order the cavalry of the eight battalions of Zuo Yuqing's division, Zhang Kai's division, Li Fengshan's division, and Zheng Xingliang's division, to launch a surprise attack towards the Qing Demon flank position, and make an all-out assault, and be sure to insert the cavalry into their flank position when their middle gate is opened! Charge now! ”

Zhang Zongyu sent eight battalions of cavalry in one go, with a total strength of no less than 3,000 people, and launched a fierce assault towards the flank position of the Qing army!

In the distance, the flank position of Baoding Town really fell into a "panic", and the infantry did not know whether to move closer to the frontal position, or return to the flank position, and turned around in a hurry on the position, but even so, the two infantry battalions at the north and south ends of the flank position also began to fight back, relying on three fortifications, constantly firing at the cavalry of the Twist Army, and the dense bullets formed a firepower network to curb the advance of the cavalry.

Today's Twist Army cavalry really can not be compared with the Baoding War, the original in Baoding, are the most elite cavalry of the Twist Army, as a result of the death of a war, all died on the battlefield, now the Twist Army cavalry is only barely enough to reach the second-rate troops, the combat power is far less than before, in the face of the fierce bullets, one by one the Twist Army cavalry began to panic, the war horse is constantly circling in front of the position, unable to launch a sharp impact!

The rain of bullets came to the face, causing huge casualties to the cavalry of the Twist Army, and the eight cavalry battalions in front had to temporarily retreat, but it was obvious that the infantry officers and men on the flank positions were also a little panicked and looked a little confused!

Although Zhang Zongyu felt sorry for the soldiers who died in battle, he also knew very well that now is the opportunity not to be lost, and it will not come again! Eight cavalry battalions can't take the flank position, so Lao Tzu will press up to eight battalions again!

"Order, the eight battalions of cavalry of Guo Kaishan, Luo Dingyu, Zhang Cuiming, and Li Yuan, rushed to help, and Zuo Yuqing and other cavalry took turns to attack the Qing army's flank defense line! Zhang Zongxiao, press up your five battalions of cavalry for me, ready to fight at any time! ”

Zhang Zongyu mobilized twenty battalions of cavalry in one breath, adding up to more than 8,000 people, and began to take turns to attack the defense line of the flank position, yes, at this time, the infantry on the flank position suddenly calmed down, and began to march towards the fixed position of the flank position in an orderly manner, and began to launch a counterattack on the cavalry in an organized manner!

Gao Qi's show of weakness did confuse Zhang Zongyu, even if the soldiers of Baoding Town fought to the last person, they never panicked, the moment they walked on the battlefield, these soldiers had already put life and death aside, where was there a coward?

Now Gao Qi suddenly, began to mobilize the infantry of various departments to really fight, the 8,000-person Twist Army cavalry can only sigh in vain in a short period of time, the firepower of the infantry in Baoding Town is too strong, coupled with the solid fortifications, can well protect the safety of the soldiers, the 8,000 Twist Army cavalry is free to impact back and forth on the front of the flank position, unable to advance to within 100 meters!

The flank positions were completely deadlocked, and the twenty cavalry battalions mobilized by Zhang Zongyu were all thrown into the battle, unable to easily get out of the battle.

On the frontal battlefield, Guo Ye saw clearly, Zhang Zongyu's cavalry had been pinned down by Gao Qi, and now it was time for his cavalry to show his skills!

Guo Ye shouted coldly: "Order Long Tao to concentrate all the artillery fire in the rear of the Taiping army, continue to suppress the morale of the Taiping army, and order He Tengjiao to lead all the cavalry battalions to attack, and tear the Taiping army in front of me to pieces!" ”

Long Tao got the order and mobilized all the artillery in his hands, five artillery battalions, a hundred artillery pieces, such a powerful firepower, no matter how it attacked, it was definitely enough for the Taiping army to drink a pot.

However, it was not Long Tao's artillery that really mattered, but the cavalry led by He Tengjiao, and now Luo Bicheng is not here, and all the cavalry commands are all in charge of He Tengjiao.

He Tengjiao gave an order, and the three cavalry battalions launched a frontal assault first, and the other two cavalry actually outflanked both sides of the frontal position!

Cavalry assault!

At this time, because of the fierce battle just now, the Taiping army has lost more than half of the 2,000 infantry battalions, and it is impossible for the remaining part of the foreign gun battalion to resist the cavalry of the rapid assault, their shooting speed is too slow, not only is half of the bullets shot out have more recoil problems, and they directly hit the middle of the sky, where can they hurt people?

The speed of the Baoding cavalry was amazing, and after shooting three rounds in front of the Taiping army, it had already reached the front of the Taiping army's position, and then it was fiercely inserted into the Taiping army's position, like a wedge, nailed in!

Lai Wenguang was already stunned, he attacked the opponent's position, and after half an hour, he couldn't help the position of the Qing Demon, and he didn't expect that as soon as the opponent's cavalry came out, it was useless to even half a moment, and he had already entered his own position! The gap is too obvious!

"Order, the troops on both flanks will squeeze me hard towards the middle position, I will let this cavalry be squeezed into pulp!"

Lai Wenguang shouted angrily.

It's just that it's a little late to give such an order at this time, but there are still a lot of infantry on both sides, but don't forget, He Tengjiao also sent two cavalry to attack in a roundabout way!

The army of the Taiping army has just begun to mobilize, the attack on both sides has arrived, the two cavalry have rounded back to the two wings, and rushed into the position obliquely, the two cavalry are like three sharp swords, stirring wildly on the Taiping army's position, with the assistance of artillery, the Taiping army can not parry at all, and is beaten in embarrassment.

Lai Wenguang was sweating profusely, constantly mobilizing the Taiping army to resist desperately, but the Taiping army of more than 20,000 faced with more than 5,000 cavalry, and was still at an absolute disadvantage, and the sabers of the cavalry in Baoding Town were constantly flying, harvesting the lives of the Taiping army!
