Chapter 872: Breaking the Siege

Now that the reinforcements have arrived, the morale of the officers of the first division has risen greatly, and the momentum is like a rainbow, plus the entire artillery regiment has turned its muzzle and is bombarding indiscriminately facing the positions of the Zhengying and Western coalition forces, and in an instant, the whole situation has been reversed!

It's not that the Anglo-Spanish coalition forces are not strong in combat, but they didn't expect that the Guyru army in the east would encounter a cavalry surprise attack, and it was two cavalry regiments, although such a strength was far inferior to the coalition army, but the cavalry's rapid assault ability and erratic style made it impossible for the coalition army to withdraw for a while.

The training army on the east side was completely contained, although the cavalry casualties were not small, however, as long as the coalition army was delayed, the Anglo-Spanish alliance army would be at an end, because now the French army on the west side has been beaten by an artillery regiment at home The first brigade can't raise its head, and the two days of the battle, the artillery fire of the first division has been enveloping the French army with all its might, and the French army has almost been scattered, with heavy casualties!

Now that the 1st Division has finally turned its guns, the French army has gained a chance to breathe, where can they dare to attack again? Rest, rest in place!

Anyway, now the French army has done what it should do, and the strength of a brigade has attracted all the artillery fire of the Lu army, and it will take two whole days, as for whether you can take the Lu army, it is a matter of Houghton on the front and Guy on the east!

Mondrake is now looking at his infantry brigade, his heart is dripping blood, the elite army, in just two days, the casualties have reached two or three thousand! The entire infantry brigade was beaten to the ground! The dog said, Lao Tzu paid such a big price, you can't take the position of the Lu army, a group of rice buckets!

The coalition army on the east side was dragged by cavalry, and the French army on the west side did not dare to fight again, and now the Anglo-Spanish coalition army was left to face the first division of the Lu army alone.

The morale-boosting 1st Division, under the command of Gao Qi, drove the Anglo-Spanish forces out of the first line of defense in one fell swoop, and once again controlled the first line of defense in their own hands!

Horton was so angry that he finally won the first line of defense, and now he is giving it to others! What are Guyru and Mondrec doing? Bastard!

In any case, even if Horton is thundering, now the situation has reversed, although the training army still has an advantage, but this advantage is not so obvious, and it is impossible to defeat the first division in one go!

However, the first division wants to counterattack the Anglo-Spanish coalition army, and it is already overwhelmed, after all, after a few days of fierce fighting, the casualties of the Lu army are not small, the first line of defense has been broken, and the artillery positions have been beaten beyond recognition, without a period of adjustment, it is impossible to launch a counteroffensive against the Anglo-Spanish coalition army and defeat it!

The two sides are once again in a state of confrontation; However, the frontal position fell into a state of confrontation, but the position on the east side has changed, the two cavalry regiments are more powerful, facing a coalition of more than 20,000 people, the strength is several times their own, they are all elite Western troops, and the two cavalry regiments want to maintain a situation of equal strength, it is impossible.

The allied forces, under the command of Guyru, continued to counterattack, and in the end, even the artillery had been used, and the cavalry suffered many casualties.

"Brother Hexiang, now we can't fight hard like this, the strength of the other party is far superior to ours, now the situation has eased and fallen back into a stalemate, we don't need to spend it any longer, retreat!"

Zhang Botao shouted at Zhang Hexiang.

Zhang Hexiang nodded, in a night of fierce fighting, the casualties of his cavalry regiment were indeed not small, and if he continued to fight hard, it would hurt his muscles and bones, and his vitality would be greatly damaged!

The two cavalry regiments have agreed to finish, and the cavalry is commanded to begin to retreat to the south!

At this time, the sky has been brightened, Ju Yilu wants to cry without tears, too unlucky, it is not easy to gain the upper hand, counting on another day or two, you can completely annihilate the first division of the Lu Army, I didn't expect that halfway out of a Cheng bite gold, knocked himself a slap on the stick, although the loss is not particularly large, but the strategic intention of the whole campaign has been disrupted, the war situation has returned to the beginning, two or three days is equivalent to a waste, suddenly lost the army!

After continuous battles, the current army is also very tired, and it is no longer possible to directly attack the opponent again.

"Order, all units immediately rest, rest in place, and launch a siege on the opponent again in the afternoon!"

Guy said hatefully.

At the same time, the other ministries also began to quiet down, after all, the elite is also a human being, it is impossible not to sleep, not eat, seize all the time, rest, replenish nutrition, no one can say when the next big war will come.

"Report to Division Commander Gao, Zhang Hexiang, commander of the cavalry regiment of the Second Division, was ordered to lead his troops to rush to the aid and report to you!"

Zhang Hexiang stood up with a smile and saluted Gao Qi.

"Hahaha, Hexiang, I guessed that it was you kid who came, so don't give Lao Tzu this set! Tell me, where is your division commander, what the hell, Chunyu is a bastard, if he can't catch up, he can only collect Lao Tzu's body! ”

Gao Qi stepped forward quickly, punched Zhang Hexiang's shoulder, and laughed.

"Brother Gao, the main force of the second division led by Commander Chunyu has landed in Yanshan County, and the army is advancing at full speed towards the battlefield, well, I estimate that at noon, it should be possible to arrive nearby, after a short rest, you can enter the battle in the afternoon, now, the first division and the second division join forces, even if the foreign devils are arrogant, we can beat them down!"

Zhang Hexiang said with a smile.

"Well, I love to hear this, with the spring rain, your kid has become more promising, as long as the two divisions join forces, there are nearly 40,000 troops, even if they can't occupy the advantage, at least they can maintain their undefeated, as long as our marshal arrives and the Lu army arrives, it will be the end of the foreign devils!"

Gao Qi smiled, "It's just that I don't know where our handsome man is now, but it's really anxious!" ”

Gao Qi is now full of confidence and no longer worries about the siege of the coalition army, but the coalition army is now a little uncontrollable, and Guyiru and Redmund can't take a break, so they run from their positions to Horton's headquarters to meet Horton.

"General Houghton, how did you do that? Lao Tzu has attracted all the artillery firepower of the Lu army to you! As the main attack, you can't attack repeatedly, are the 20,000 people under your command all ****? ”

Redmonk yelled angrily.

"You are so light-hearted, why don't you try to pull all three of your French brigades up? Is the heavy machine gun of the Lu army a dry meal? Damn, they're sweeping a whole area, we can't complete the assault at all, the casualties are too great! (To be continued.) )
