The Japanese were afraid of death, and their souls were broken, so they fled from the wind; But I'm not afraid of death!

Naturally, he is not afraid of death is the proud Gallic rooster, and the conversation between Houghton and Bazin spread all levels of the French army, and the French generals are holding back their strength to compete with the Lu army, if you want the British army to prove it, the French Army's claim to be the first in the world is definitely not blown!

Now there are 10,000 French troops in Tianjin, 6,000 British troops, 3,000 Spanish troops, and 3,000 Japanese troops left behind, adding up to more than 20,000 people, but the British army and the Japanese army are really afraid of the Lu army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Only the French army has strong troops, and the chief of staff of the French army corps who stayed behind, Ju Yilu, heard the letter from the Japanese army, and the spirit head came up, the Lu army is here, Guo Ye's descendant! Now it's time for Lao Tzu to raise his eyebrows, isn't it just a brigade? Can the army of my two brigades still be afraid of you?

"Order, all the French troops are dispatched, and the 10th and 11th brigades are advancing forward to meet the Qing army!"

Guy personally led the French army to rush down from the south of Tianjin!

Leaving the generals of the British and Spanish armies looking at each other, this Guyiru is too arrogant, right? Is the Lu army really that easy to deal with? If it was easy to deal with, it would not have beaten 30,000 Japanese troops and vomited three liters of blood!

"General Hilton, do you see if we want to send troops to help, if the French army really loses, wait until General Bazin returns, but it is difficult to explain......"

Simeone, the brigade commander of the Spanish Major General, hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Humph!"

Hilton pursed his lips and replied, "Look at Guyru's arrogant appearance, it's good to make him suffer a little, even if it's just a good lesson for them!" If the Lu army was really so wasteful, Lao Tzu would have taken down Rongchengwan a long time ago with 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the face of the opponent's more than 10,000 troops, so do you have to wait until now? Ask for your own hardship! Okay, send scouts forward and pay close attention to the enemy situation in front, fortunately, we are not far from Cangzhou, even if the French army is not in a good situation, it is enough for us to rush to help, just order our subordinates to prepare for battle......"

Guy Ru doesn't care what the British and Western generals behind him think, if the strength of the two brigades can't eat the strength of one of the opponent's brigades, then the French army will really become a waste! The Hunan army and the Huai army are known as the first sharp in the Qing Dynasty, and they are still defeated by themselves?

Outside Cangzhou City, Ji Qingyuan had already prepared for battle, and the reconnaissance company was going back and forth on the road, constantly sending information back from Tianjin, which was naturally very convenient, and the news of the French army had already reached Ji Qingyuan's ears.

Ji Qingyuan and Zhang Suimou were both first-class generals under Shi Dakai, and now they are under Shi Dakai's command and entrusted with important tasks by Guo Ye.

The strength of the two brigades, Ji Qingyuan did not dare to be careless, if it was one-on-one, the Lu army was naturally not afraid of the French army, but one against two, even if it was the Lu army, it would suffer in the fierce battle in the position.

Trenches were built in the town of Xueguantun in the north of Cangzhou, and in more than two days, the fortifications of the 3rd Brigade had been completed, waiting for the arrival of the French army.

From Tianjin to Cangzhou, a distance of about two hundred and forty or fifty miles, the French army marched rapidly, and in less than five days, they arrived outside Cangzhou, and when they were still thirty or forty miles away from Xueguantun, the scouts in front had already transmitted the news that the Lu army had built a position in Xueguantun.

Juyilu raised his eyebrows, this group of Qing troops is really not simple, and when they encounter an opponent worse than her, the attack is like a storm, nine days of thunder; When they encountered an opponent whose situation was unknown, they did not rush forward, and fought steadily, it was obvious that they already knew the news of the arrival of the French army, and the opponent's general was very steady, and he was an opponent.

"Order, the 10th Brigade is on the left, the 11th Brigade is on the right, advance towards Xue Guantun, build fortifications on the spot, and launch an attack on the Qing army!"

Now that the strength of the two brigades is in the hands of Juyiru, it is twice that of the Qing army, Juyilu naturally does not have to be so careful, the Qing army's attack on the Japanese army is like a thunderbolt, then I will also give the Qing army a thunderous blow!

Stopping less than three kilometers away from the Lu army, after a slight pause, the French army threw themselves into the attack on the third brigade of the Lu army, and the shells fired at the position of the third brigade without life.

On the position of the Lu army, Ji Qingyuan observed the offensive firepower of the French army, and was also amazed by the military quality of the French army.

"Brigadier Ji, when are we going to launch a counterattack?"

Chief of Staff Guo Kai asked.

Ji Qingyuan sneered: "Don't worry, our fortifications are built firmly, although the French artillery fire is fierce, it won't cause much damage to us in a short time, let them be arrogant for a while, and then decline, and then exhaustion, we are waiting for the arrival of their stage of decline!" ”

Guo Kai nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, brigade commander, I will personally supervise the battle in the front, you will command the overall situation in the rear, let's have a good fight with the French!" ”

The French artillery attacked for more than two hours in succession, and the positions of the Lu army were almost bombed all over again, and they were caught in the smoke and flames of gunpowder, and the land exuded a smell of burning.

Juyilu looked at it from a distance with a telescope in his hand, the tunnels on the Lu army's position were criss-crossed, and there was no movement at all, and the other party didn't even hit a single shell, it was such a passive defense, but it was very strange!

"Give Kaboku an order to send the 30th Regiment to launch a tentative attack on the Qing army's position, be careful, the opponent's firepower has not yet been exposed!"

Guyiru gave the order to attack.

The French troops, of more than a thousand people, rushed from their positions towards the positions of the Lu army!

Guo Kai carefully looked at the French troops charging in front, these French troops were very cautious, one by one, on the way forward, constantly changing the route, so as not to be hit by rifle fire, the French army in the middle of the assault, the two wings were two armies closely guarding the two flanks, one side launched an impact.

Yes, really well-trained! However, you still have to drink Lao Tzu's footwashing water!

"Order the officers and men in the front row, wait until the French army is within 300 meters, concentrate their firepower, and do not expose our heavy machine gun fire, this is just their tentative attack!"

Guo Kai calmly gave the order, and on the first line of defense, the Lu army all entered a state of shooting, waiting for the French army to come up and die!
