Nigel loves his artillery battalion very much, and the entire expeditionary force knows that the artillery battalion is Nigel's baby bump, so when the whole army is transferred or attacked, an infantry regiment will be left to escort the artillery battalion.

Due to the frustration of the attack from the front, Nigel hoped to use the strong firepower of the artillery battalion to pass through the East Ridge and go straight to Daqingshan as soon as possible. Joined up with another mixed brigade to defeat the Qing army on Qingshan, and returned to the rear of Shanxi City.

An infantry regiment had 2,000 people, about 1,000 men in the front and rear of the artillery battalion. The entire escort was very rigorous, and Feng Xianghua didn't have a chance. I suddenly found that the advance speed of the artillery battalion was much higher than just now, and it was obvious that the artillery battalion was going to be used in front. There was a rapid march, although Feng Xianghua was very anxious, but he knew that only when the French army was in a hurry was the best time to destroy him. If you keep maintaining the speed of the march and the strict escort situation just now, you will have no chance at all.

Feng Xianghua's battalion of men and horses were ambushed in the narrowest part of the valley, and because the cannons were very large, only part of them passed through the narrow valley. And the rolling valley became a natural cover tool for Feng Xianghua's troops, watching the infantry in front slowly pass through. It was the turn of the artillery battalion, and when the entire artillery battalion was in the middle of the canyon, Feng Xianghua shouted, and the snipers in the ambush in the valley accurately killed the first artilleryman and the two artillerymen at the rear.

At the mouth of the valley, only two cannons were allowed to pass side by side, and for the speed of the march, the French army was pushed by four people at the same time. But at this time, the artillery pushing the cannon was attacked at the same time, and the cannon was across the valley mouth, and the troops in front could not enter, and the artillery behind could not get out. The chaos in the middle was very consistent, and the artillery pushing the cannons was also blocked by the valley after being attacked.

Feng Xianghua threw all the explosives prepared in advance onto the cannons in the valley, and for a while the explosives poured down like rain. The French artillerymen had already lost their dignity as soldiers in fright when they saw such a battle, and one by one they rushed forward and backward like beggars seeking survival. And the infantry guarding the front and rear did not know what was happening in the middle, and hurried closer to the middle. For a while, people pushed people, people squeezed people, everyone pushed each other, and even some people were pushed to the ground, trampled to death by their own people, and the situation was chaotic. And after the explosives exploded in the valley, it seemed clear to everyone what was happening. Find shelter or lie on the ground.

After one by one the explosives exploded in the middle of the French artillery, Feng Xianghua laughed with relief. He finally didn't disappoint his father, but as the French artillery became a pile of broken copper, his brow furrowed again.

There were only two exits in front of and behind the valley, and now there are French infantry in front and behind. Four times as many troops as yours, after the last explosion was over. The infantry on both sides of the front and rear also slowly moved towards the valley step by step, and the commander of the 1st Infantry Regiment of the French Army, named Les, was the person in charge of the escort artillery battalion this time. But now that the cannons have all become scrap metal, how to go back and explain to Nigel.

He frantically ordered his troops to move closer to the valley and made a frantic charge to the heights south of Feng Xianghua's troops. In his opinion, the artillery has been destroyed, if it is not possible to wipe out the Qing army that destroyed the artillery. Then after he goes back, he must be handed over to the military justice department, so he must annihilate these Qing troops for revenge or for himself. It's better to catch it alive, you can reduce some of your guilt!

Feng Xianghua is quite like his father, and he is brave and tenacious in battle. In the face of several times with their own enemies, there is not a trace of timidity. calmly commanded the troops to attack the French troops who rushed up.

"One platoon was transferred to move fifty meters parallel to the south, and each company slowly moved its position to the south." Feng Xianghua calmly ordered.

In the face of the frantic attack of the French army, it was certainly not the way to defend to the death. However, in order to facilitate the blowing up of the French artillery, the position was set in the middle of the valley when the ambush site was set. But having blown up the enemy's artillery, breaking through became a problem again. Both sides of the front and back are blocked. Rushing down in the middle has no chance to break through at all. Therefore, Feng Xianghua hoped to slowly move the position to the south and wait until the troops moved to the mouth of the valley. Charge again, hoping to break out of the valley.

Perhaps the French army had already seen through Feng Xianghua's plan, or perhaps it was because of the great disparity in troops. Les always arranged about 500 troops in the front and rear valley passes. As for the repeated attacks on the positions of the Qing army, it may have been found that after several tentative attacks, the number of Qing troops was not large. So three attack echelons were formed, each with more than 300 people. constantly impacting and ravaging the positions of the Qing army.

At this time, the battle had lasted for more than two hours, and the original Qing army positions in the north had been captured by the French army. Now there are French ** teams on the front and side, surrounding Feng Xianghua's troops on the valley.

Looking at the Frenchman in front of him, Feng Xianghua threw the gun in his hand. He pulled out a sword from his waist that General Zuo Zongtang gave him back then, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Brothers, you have already made great contributions with me. The cannons of the French devils have been destroyed by us, and the general has prepared a celebration banquet for us in Dongling! Brothers, go out with me and return to Dongling to join the general! Kill! ”

After hearing this, the originally disheartened Qing army, although he knew that there was little hope, still held his breath and rushed down. Hopefully, we can really break through the encirclement of the French army and return to the East Ridge.

A brutal, bloody hand-to-hand fight unfolded in the valley.

Feng Xianghua rushed out of the position like a cheetah, and stabbed forward with the long sword in the face of the French army rushing up.

Flutter!

The French army that rushed forward was stabbed in the heart, and the French soldiers who wanted to capture the Qing army alive were instantly summoned back by their emperor.

"Ahh

The surrounding French troops immediately attacked Feng Xianghua.

If Feng Xianghua's marksmanship barely reached today's level through diligent training later, then his martial arts were trained by his father since he was a child. When he was only 18 years old, he beheaded the enemy on the battlefield when he exterminated the Taiping army. was regarded by Zuo Zongtang as a rare fierce general in the Qing Dynasty. In particular, he was given a sword made of stainless steel. And now the 40-year-old Feng Xianghua is still extremely brave, holding a steel sword, hmph - the twelve-inch steel sword was used as a machete by him, the sharp sword drew a half-moon cold light in the air, and the chest of the three French soldiers who rushed in front was broken, and blood sprayed Feng Xianghua's face, and he fell head-on.

The French army behind didn't dare to approach when they saw Feng Xianghua so brave, and the Qing army saw that the main general was brave, so they were angry and rushed towards the French army below.

In the moment when the French army was stunned, Feng Xianghua was not idle. An arrow rushed down, stabbing three times in a row at several French soldiers who did not dare to approach!

Pounce, pounce, pounce! Accurately pierced the necks and throats of the three French soldiers, and the three of them did not even scream, and they were killed on the spot!

The Qing army behind followed Feng Xianghua all the way to the valley, but there were only more than 100 people left.

Les has been in Vietnam for many years and has had previous experience fighting the Qing army. But the Qing army had never seen such combat effectiveness, and only a few hundred people could resist the fierce impact of the Republic Army for nearly three hours. And having surrounded it, there was also the courage to storm from the front. Fight your way up the valley to the valley mouth, but it should be almost over. Otherwise, this nightmare would be a shadow that he would never be able to shake away.

The French army attacking in the valley saw Feng Xianghua's bravery, and retreated again and again in fright, while the French army defending at the mouth of the valley saw the Qing army rushing down, and continued to rush forward without knowing what was going on in front of them.

"Quick, follow me." Feng Xianghua yelled at the remaining more than a hundred soldiers around him.

But after all, the disparity in numbers was too great, and Feng Xianghua's hand holding the sword had already been slashed to the point of numbness. His physical strength was exhausted, and the French army in front of him rushed towards him as if they could not finish killing.

A few of his own soldiers rushed forward, wanting to fight a bloody way for the main general. Feng Xianghua raised his eyes to take a look, and the French army behind him had already approached. The brother in charge of the broken back is already at the end of the strong crossbow, and he can't hold on for long.

At this point, he knew that the tide was turning. But looking at the broken copper and iron in the valley, he still smiled proudly, this is only what I, Feng Xianghua, can do! Today is the day when I serve the court and the country. Thinking of lifting the sword and slaying deeply in front of the enemy......

"Kill!" The remaining dozens of Qing soldiers around them have greatly increased their fighting spirit, and with the ** of survival, they have fought a bloody way at the mouth of the valley.

Les was really looking at the valley mouth, and he couldn't believe his eyes. Just a few dozen people managed to break through the encirclement of about 1,000 people of the army of the great republic.

Les sat on his horse and took out a rifle at the mouth of the valley and aimed it at Feng Xianghua.

Feng Xianghua was also at the end of his crossbow at this time, and with the last spirit spirit, he led dozens of soldiers to rush to the mouth of the valley. He was already covered in bruises, but he couldn't stop the pace of his feet, otherwise he would be surrounded by the French army again after finally breaking out.

At this time, he saw a man on a horse at the mouth of the valley raising his gun to aim at himself, and Feng Xianghua knew that this was his only chance.

As he fought, he moved towards the man, who was surrounded by nearly 20 or so men. At this time, there were only 8 people left around him.

Taniguchi is quite narrow and can only be passed by four people side by side. But there were a lot of discarded cannons blocking there, so they could only force the two of them to pass together, and finally Feng Xianghua and the others broke out of the encirclement and ran out of the valley. I saw more than 20 people outside raising guns to themselves, supporting the ground with their swords, panting greedily. Didn't pay attention to the more than 20 guns on the opposite side at all.

Several personal soldiers around him guarded in front of him, and the two Qing soldiers behind desperately resisted the French army at the mouth of the valley. Due to the narrow size of the valley, there was nothing to be done about the Qing army for a while.

And Les was bent on capturing this Qing general alive, and did not order to kill him. In his heart, he thought that the French army behind him would break through the resistance at the mouth of the Qing army valley and capture all these Qing troops alive.

And Feng Xianghua seemed to feel something, and suddenly stood up. Slowly walked towards Leth, and the six personal soldiers around him also followed him.

"Stop, take another step forward. I gave the order to shoot. Les threatened.

"What do you call your mother? Chirped crookedly like a monkey. Lao Tzu will send you to God today. Feng Xianghua scolded.

The man rolled forward out of thin air, dodging the French gunfire. Get up and get on the horse directly, restrain Les on the horse, restrain the horse, and slap the sword on the horse's buttocks. The military horses galloped south in pain......

The French troops behind him did not dare to shoot for fear of accidentally injuring the regimental commander. Watching the two of them disappear from their vision......

In this battle, Feng Xianghua's battalion was annihilated, destroying an artillery battalion of the French army and destroying more than 600 enemies. Capture an army regimental commander with the rank of lieutenant colonel!
