Now all the forces of the Qing army combined, can not make up ten artillery, in the face of the French fierce and sharp artillery attack, can only shrink on the position, now there is no way back, if you retreat, then enter the Pacific Ocean!

Fortunately, now the strength of the Qing army is still strong, and they are the main forces of the Hunan army and the Huai army, and they can withstand it for the time being. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even so, it was definitely not so easy to withstand the attack of the French army.

The most terrible thing is that the French army is no longer launching a fierce attack, but the main French army squeezed the Qing army into the corner step by step, and the cavalry regiment of the people bypassed the Qing army and went straight to the Dagukou Fort!

Now it is the eve of dawn, on the sea, the British and French fleets have also stopped attacking, the artillery battalion of the Qing army has a rare time to rest, lying everywhere, and when awakened by the sound of the cavalry's hooves, the cavalry has rushed to the battery, and the cavalry's swords are cut down!

All the artillery is in chaos, they are all artillerymen, where would they have thought that there would be cavalry touching the battery? At this time, it is not possible to use artillery to bombard people, it is already close at hand!

More than 1,000 people from the three artillery battalions scattered under the onslaught of the cavalry, unable to resist at all, and in less than an hour, the entire Dagukou battery changed hands!

When Morenster opened his eyes and walked onto the deck again, through the telescope, he saw a French military flag fluttering in the wind on the Dagukou Fort!

It worked, the French army succeeded!

Morencer was overjoyed and shouted: "Come on, order two gunboats to escort the troops, and the troop transports will immediately approach the Dagukou battery and carry out the land landing!" General Bazin has taken Dagukou, great! ”

At the sound of Morenster's order, dozens of troop carriers rushed towards the mouth of Dagu.

At this time, Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shusheng and others found out that Dagukou had changed hands at night! Dagukou missed, the army of foreigners floating on the sea will not swarm in, and when the time comes, whether it is the Hunan army or the Huai army, it will inevitably face the attack of people on both sides!

What to do? What to do?

Several generals had sweat on their foreheads......

"Retreat, we must retreat in the direction of Tianjin City! Quick retreat! If we wait until the foreigners on the sea also land, we will be surrounded by foreigners, and in that case, we will definitely be wiped out! ”

Liu Mingchuan exclaimed in surprise.

"Retreat in the direction of Tianjin City? How to withdraw? Now Tianjin City is in the northwest direction, and the army of foreigners is also in the northwest direction, and if we want to return to Tianjin, we must first defeat the foreigners in front of us......"

Zhang Shu said in an awkward voice.

Several people were all dumbfounded, and the foreigners became an insurmountable mountain across the Xianghuai Army and Tianjin City!

"Then you have to rush over! We have no other choice, once the foreigners complete the landing, then we will be under the attack, and we will only die faster! ”

Liu Mingchuan pondered for a moment and replied firmly.

Indeed, the Xianghuai Army has no choice but to choose to rush hard!

"Province three, I think, it is better for us to retreat in the southwest, bypass the army of foreigners, and turn back to Tianjin, the foreigners on the opposite side are afraid that there will be more than 10,000 people, and if we break through forcibly, I am afraid that few of us will be able to return to Tianjin alive......"

Bao Xin on the side replied.

A few people glanced at each other, it is true, the foreigners' strength is too strong, Bao Chao said that the foreigners will not have too many troops, that is pure nonsense, the troops who landed in Beitang alone have exceeded 15,000 people, how many people are there above the sea? No one knows! Anyway, the total number of troops will definitely not be less than 30,000!

"However, if we retreat to the southwest, the French army will definitely pursue, we can't bypass the pursuit of the French army left and right, it is better to storm the French army at a point, once we break through, we will march to the northwest with all our might, from Tianjin City to here, it is only seventy or eighty miles, we march at full speed, we can definitely meet the reinforcements sent by Di Shuai, maybe we can save the situation, if we are chased by the French army, it won't take long, we have to be eaten clean!"

Liu Mingchuan said in a deep voice.

Several people finally listened to Liu Mingchuan's advice and launched a charge towards the French army in the northwest!

The Hunan army and the Huai army together, there are still more than 10,000 people, but unfortunately there is no artillery, and the cover of the artillery is lost.

The French guns and artillery fired in unison, building a powerful firepower network at the front of the position, beating the Qing army bitterly, one by one the soldiers fell on the way to charge, there was no way, even if there were many casualties, they had to rush over!

Liu Mingchuan got rid of Da Yu, and ordered the fierce general Nie Shicheng under his command to lead the personal guard battalion to be careful, rushing to the front, and the other departments in the back only followed, as for how many died on the way to the charge, now there is no way to control so much! Anyway, when Nie Shicheng turned around to watch, there were only less than 100 people left in his elite personal guard battalion!

Fortunately, the French army didn't want to be so desperate, seeing that the Qing army rushed up desperately, the French army divided to both sides, and actually gave way to the Xianghuai army, Liu Mingchuan and Zhang Shusheng took care of a lot, and without saying a word, they rushed straight over!

Why?

Now Bazin doesn't want to be in a hard confrontation with the Qing army, although the French army won a big victory, but a day and two nights of fierce fighting, so that the French army is also a little tired, there are a lot of casualties, these are elite, such a loss, it's a pity, he took Beitang, took Dagukou, the next big battle, then the Spaniards should rush to the front!

Now the Spanish army has begun to land, it will not take a day, at least 20,000 troops can be completed landing, when the time comes, the strength of the two sides combined, more than 40,000 people, together to launch an attack on the Qing army, the Qing army absolutely can not resist, and do not care about the Qing army now, anyway, it is all the dishes on their own plates, no one can snatch it!

The Qing army was released, and before it was dark, the Spaniards had already completed the landing of a division, and Spanish Army Lieutenant General Alonso also met Bazin.

Alonso gave a thumbs up from afar and exclaimed: "Dear Bazin, you are amazing! I am so impressed to defeat the Qing army so quickly and occupy Dagukou! ”

Bazin replied lightly: "Come, Alonso, I have completed my mission, the most elite Qing army has been defeated, and then it is time for you Spanish soldiers to perform, don't let me down......"
