Chapter 157: The Danger Behind It
Monk Greenqin's face changed, and he hesitated: "Guo Ye, turn the gun head at this time, what if the British and French forces take advantage of the situation to attack our Chinese army?" Without the help of artillery, we may not be able to hold ......."
Guo Ye said helplessly: "When is my prince, now I have to fight hard, our Chinese army still has nearly 10,000 people, even if they want to attack, it is definitely not so easy to eat, there are only 2,000 infantry on the opposite side, they want to draw troops from both wings, it's too late!" ”
Monk Lingqin shook his teeth and replied, "Okay, listen to you!" Order, all the artillery of the artillery battalion to attack the positions on the right flank! All the cavalry pulled out for me, assaulted with all my might, grandma's, let it out! ”
After getting the order, the artillery took action, although the artillery of the Shengbao Department on the right flank position was vulnerable, but the artillery of the Chinese army was not a soft persimmon, they were all foreign cannons, and they were all controlled by the soldiers of the firearms battalion, which can be said to be the most powerful combat power of the Qing army!
As soon as the artillery rang out, dozens of shells were fired towards the right-flank position, and successively fell on the right-flank position, and before the British and French troops could gain a firm foothold, they were bombarded by artillery with all their might, and many people were directly bombed into the sky.
Caught off guard, the Anglo-French army still suffered a loss, but after all, the Anglo-French army was a well-trained army, and after a period of chaos at the beginning, it quickly stabilized, and they hid one after another, dodging the attack of the shells, followed by more fierce artillery shelling!
In one breath, the artillery battalion poured more than 100 shells into the right-wing position, blowing up the right-wing position to the smoke of gunpowder, the flames of war were flying, and pieces of dirt were lifted into the sky.
The British and French forces could only grit their teeth, endure bursts of artillery shelling, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack!
However, they were able to dodge the artillery bombardment, and at this time, 2,000 cavalry came from a distance under the cover of artillery fire, which could not be dodged!
The Mongolian horse team has begun to be stunned now, as long as the cavalry led by Guo Ye is victorious, and they follow the prince to fight, it will be a big defeat and loss, when will the Mongolian horse team become so useless? If you don't steam steamed buns and fight for breath, if you go on like this, the monk will lose face!
When the Anglo-French army found the Mongolian horse team, the Mongolian horse team was already close at hand, and the British and French troops were shocked and hurriedly shot one after another, blocking the advance of the Mongolian horse team!
In the distance, when Yaman and Saxton heard the sound of cannons, they knew that it was bad, but they didn't expect that Monk Greenqin had changed his mind, and all the cannons of the Chinese army were hoisted to the right flank position, and now the right flank position has just been taken down, and the Qing army has launched a counterattack, under the bombardment of artillery, the British and French forces will definitely not be able to stop the fierce artillery of the Chinese army, not to mention that the two thousand cavalry of the Chinese army have begun to charge!
Yaman stomped his foot hard, hey! For the nine mountains and nine thousands, the success is falling short! Even if you give yourself another half an hour, you will be able to stabilize the situation on the right flank, but now it is good, the British and French forces that have not established themselves can only be driven back by others!
Saxton's face was even more ugly, and he roared angrily: "Order, all the infantry in the middle will be pressed on me, and I will attack the main force in the middle of the Qing army with all my might, and Lao Tzu must make Monk Lingqin suffer a little bit!" ”
Yaman shook his head and said helplessly: "Saxton give up the attack, the Chinese army of Monk Greenqin has at least 8,000 people, and Guo Ye on the right flank can launch a rush to help at any time, we are only 2,000 people, even if we think with our ass, we also know that we will never be able to take the position of the Chinese army, since Monk Greenqin dares to change the direction of the artillery attack, then we are absolutely confident to hold the Chinese army, we don't want to do such useless work, withdraw the troops, wait for our artillery to come up, and launch a general attack on them, Although we did not achieve a decisive victory today, the two flanks of the Qing army have been routed by us, and it is not worth it......"
Saxton nodded hatefully and gave the order, and the Anglo-French army on the right flank began to retreat to the rear.
The monk in the middle, Gelinqin, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was lucky, so hanging, if it wasn't for Guo Ye's timely arrival today, he would really be defeated again, the Qing army of more than 20,000 people is not the opponent of the Anglo-French alliance with less than 10,000 people! It's really embarrassing!
However, now that the Anglo-French forces have finally been temporarily repulsed, as long as the situation is stabilized and redeployed, there is still a chance!
Monk Greenqin ordered the whole army to reorganize, after a battle, the Qing army suffered more than 7,000 casualties, heavy casualties, the most unfortunate is the left wing of the Ruilin Division, Ruilin was shot and died, more than 6,000 Qing troops completely fled, and the people who could be collected were less than 2,000; As for Shengbao, he is now in a coma, seriously injured, not bad, Shengbao's Beijing camp has not collapsed, at least it has not collapsed, but it has just withdrawn from its position, but after a bloody battle, the Beijing camp still suffered heavy losses, and there were three or four thousand casualties!
The huge casualties made Seng Lingqin's heart uncomfortable for a while, it was all the trouble caused by Duanhua and Zaidun, the dog said, the head is dumber than a pig!
Guo Ye was also speechless for a while, more than 20,000 people, without the help of artillery from the British and French forces, were beaten so badly, it was really useless, he still overestimated their combat power!
Guo Ye stabbed the monk next to him, and said solemnly: "Lord, now is not the time for us to be sad, this is the beginning, the war will be more dangerous tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we need to take precautions as soon as possible......"
Monk Lingqin turned his head and asked, "Guo Ye, what do you say?" Even more sinister, isn't it dangerous enough today? ”
Guo Ye smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you must know that the artillery of the British and French forces has not yet been transported, once the artillery arrives, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?" ”
Monk Lingqin was taken aback and wondered: "Didn't you kill the opponent's artillery in a surprise?" ”
Guo Ye replied: "Yes, I'm talking about their artillery killed, but we don't have enough explosives, people's artillery is unscathed, without artillery, the infantry can still open artillery, even if it is not as good as the artillery of our firearms battalion, it is at least much stronger than the artillery of the green battalion......"
Monk Lingqin was shocked, if the opponent's artillery was fired, it would really be nine deaths!
