Bush, who was about to lead his army to catch up with the special combat team, heard the sound of drums behind him and knew that it was the main force of the Taiping Army that had killed him, so he hurriedly turned back and waited for the battle.

At the forefront was the light cavalry of the Taiping Army, which had just been frustrated by the foreigners, and the two cavalry were killing the two wings of the foreign army on both sides, with a momentum like a rainbow.

Bush snorted coldly, did not say much, and directly commanded the army to meet the cavalry of the Taiping Army, which was rushing towards the killing.

Just after being attacked, he had a stomach full of anger in his heart, and he was looking for someone to vent, but he didn't think that the main force of the Taiping Army actually wanted to take advantage of the fire to impress, he really didn't know whether to live or die, but there was a certain certainty that this breath in his heart finally found the object of venting, and he must treat this Taiping Army well, let the Taiping Army know that these foreign adults are not something that Chinese can provoke.

Same as last time, when the cavalry of the Taiping Army entered the range of the foreigner's cannon, the foreigner's cannon suddenly roared, one after another cannonball exploded in the Taiping cavalry array, smashing some of the cavalry and horses that were running fast, and the Taiping cavalry affected by the aftermath of the explosion was not turned into pieces, but was thrown directly into the air, and then smashed to the ground, some were seriously injured and dying, and some were killed.

However, the casualties did not frighten the Taiping army, but aroused the strongest hatred in their hearts, and they now only wanted to kill all the foreigners on the opposite side and avenge the dead Taiping brothers. And the horses they sat down on were galloping more quickly than they were ahead.

The Taiping army braved the artillery fire to advance forward, but they were greeted by an even more ferocious attack by the foreigners, rows of popcorn-like bullets fired mercilessly at them, and another group of Taiping brothers fell and fell under the guns of the foreigners.

Enduring the great grief in their hearts, the cavalry of the Taiping Army rushed even more urgently.

Bush roared wildly, urging his foreign soldiers to shoot frantically at the Taiping cavalry.

"General, what to do, these people don't seem to be afraid of death, and the more they kill, the more they kill. And so on. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them. Barton's face was not very good-looking, and there was a little panic in his words.

"Shut up, you dare to bewitch the people and shake the hearts of the army. I'll kill you. Bush said angrily.

The war was unfavorable, and he was already in a bad mood. Now even Barton speaks of such frustrations. How could he not be angry, thinking that since he took over as the supreme commander of the eight-nation coalition, Bush has been constantly criticized. Even if he used his super ability to silence those who were skeptical for a while, he sat in this position for the time being, but it did not mean that he took it lightly and sat back and relaxed.

He knew that among the eight countries, there were many people staring at him, staring at his position, wishing that something was wrong with him, waiting for him to have an accident, and it was better to die.

And the Taiping Army is a hurdle.

If the Taiping army can be defeated this time, the benefits are many.

As far as the United States is concerned, it will not only be able to get a lot of benefits from the Qing government, but it will also allow it to show its face in front of the other seven countries, so that the British imperialists, who have always been high above and commanding, will understand that they Americans are not muddy, and they can win wars, perhaps more than the British.

As far as Bush is concerned, with this kind of brilliant military exploits as a foil, he will certainly be able to get more opportunities to continue to climb upward, and his position will become more and more secure.

Therefore, this battle, both for his empire and for himself, is a great opportunity, and he must not lose.

And Barton dared to say those inconsequential things in front of him, so it was strange that he was not angry.

"The general is angry, the general is angry..."Barton was frightened, and he desperately pleaded guilty.

He swore that he would never again give a casual opinion in front of Bush.

"Patton, the people who ordered you to resist me, if you let the Taiping army run away from you this time, see how I clean you up." Bush said angrily.

Patton's words upset Bush a little.

"Yes, General." Barton said solemnly.

How dare he be lazy, he knows Bush this butcher too well, this guy has always done what he says, if he really let the Taiping Army run away this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to eat and will have to go around.

"Up, give it to me, destroy those nasty cavalry." Bush shouted.

"Up, up, give me up, destroy the cavalry of the Taiping Army." When Barton heard this, he shouted at his soldiers.

No matter what attitude Patton and Bush had, the guns in the hands of the foreigners never stopped, they kept shooting, and then the Taiping army kept falling to the ground, and the casualties became more and more heavy.

Fortunately, the cavalry was accompanied by the brothers of the Taiping Firearms Battalion, who followed the cavalry and frantically pulled the plate machine towards the foreigners.

Many foreigners also fell to the ground in response.

After Dongfang Bufu led the people and the special combat team led by Tian Xiaoer to converge on the two hills behind the foreigners, they stayed on the top of the mountain, of course, the cannons on the two hills were still in the hands of the special combat team, but after the round of bombardment just now, there were not many shells left.

"Little Er, let's shoot." Looking at the brothers of the cavalry battalion who kept falling, Dongfang couldn't help but say.

His words drew the hecs of many people.

"No, it's not the time yet." Tian Xiaoer rejected Dongfang's unconfused mention in one mouth.

"When is the time, are you not afraid that there are not enough people to die, right, you are really cold-blooded." Tian Xiaoer's words made Dongfang Bufu very angry, and he said unceremoniously.

"Dongfang, don't be impatient, don't forget, what are we doing here." Tian Xiaoer waved his hand towards Dongfang Bufu and said warmly.

Tian Xiaoer understands very well the mood of Dongfang Bufu and the brothers, his heart is also dripping blood, but he still needs to focus on the overall situation, and he can't do things that go against the overall situation for the sake of momentary anger.

"Humph!" Dongfang snorted heavily, feeling very dissatisfied with Tian Xiaoer's words.

"In the east, the brethren of the cavalry battalion rushed to the front so desperately. For what, you should know, right? Tian Xiaoer's tone was as gentle as ever.

"This..."Dongfang was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised by what Tian Xiaoer said.

He really didn't think about it seriously just now, Tian Xiaoer said this, he understood it, the brothers of the cavalry battalion worked so hard, the purpose was to let the main force of the Taiping Army break through safely, which was the same as the ultimate goal of the special combat team, but this was not related to the fact that they helped the brothers of the cavalry battalion.

Tian Xiaoer seemed to know what Dongfang was thinking in his heart, and he smiled slightly: "Dongfang." Does it matter where we are now? ”

"Important." Dongfang was not confused and said casually.

He didn't know why Tian Xiaoer was asking this.

"That's good. If we stay here and help the main force of the army when it stands out, then don't you think the army will have a lot more chances to break through? Tian Xiaoer said.

"This ...... Not bad. Dongfang nodded and said.

However, Dongfang is not confused and still does not understand. What does this have to do with the brothers who helped the cavalry battalion. Before the Great Army broke through. This hill, they must have to occupy it all the time, and help the brothers of the cavalry battalion to cover the main force to break through. Isn't that the best of both worlds?

"Dongfang, we don't have many shells, if they all go out this time, wait for what to rely on to cover the main army to break through." Tian Xiaoer hit the nail on the head.

"This..."Dongfang was speechless.

The special combat team members who had just echoed Dongfang's unconfused opinion also lowered their heads.

Yes, there are not many shells left, after the fight, what will they do to relieve the siege of the main force, Tian Xiaoer's words are like a slap in the face, smashing those thoughts in their hearts that they can't think of, and then disappearing without a trace.

"Reality is very unforgiving!" Tian Xiaoer's heart was also very uncomfortable.

Seeing so many good brothers who used to fight together keep falling, but they couldn't do anything, they could only wait stupidly, Tian Xiaoer and the hearts of all the special combat team members were bleeding.

Dongfang Bufu bit his lower lip tightly, there was sadness, resentment, chagrin in his eyes, mixed tastes, and all kinds of tastes came to his heart in an instant, he seemed to be unable to bear to look at the bloody scene anymore, and slowly turned his slightly trembling body around, as if by doing so, the pain in his heart would be a little less.

Tian Xiaoer stretched out his hand and gently patted Dongfang Bufu's shoulder, and then, a soft sigh sounded behind Dongfang Bufu.

The main force of the Taiping Army led by Huang Xu knew that the special combat team had made a move when he saw the fire on the foreigner's position, although he didn't know how big the loss of the foreigners was, but just from the analysis of that scene, the movement of the special combat team should be not small, so he decisively ordered the light cavalry to attack together with the musket battalion, and let the other troops prepare.

Although the charge of the cavalry battalion was quite damaged, it was getting closer and closer to the position of the foreigners, and Huang Xu also seemed to see a glimmer of light when he successfully broke through, and his mood was also a little nervous.

"Sir, it's time for the brigade to begin the assault." Huang Xu said to Zhao Xiaofeng beside him.

"Do you wait a little longer, wait until the situation is clearer." The closer he is to the opportunity, the more cautious Zhao Xiaofeng becomes.

"Don't wait any longer, the opportunity must not be lost, now is the best time, I believe that the brothers of the cavalry battalion and the firearms battalion will succeed in fighting a bloody way for the main army, and besides, the special combat team has made such a big move but there is no follow-up, it seems a little impossible, they must be ready to meet us in front, we can't miss the opportunity." Huang Xu's analysis is very correct and accurate.

"Since the master has decided, the subordinates will obey the order, but who is responsible for breaking the queen?" Zhao Xiaofeng said.

Yes, this is a problem, playing the vanguard is a big problem, and it is not a small problem after the break.

"Master Horse, I am willing to break off." A person walked out behind Huang Xu, holding Yingdao.

"You, no, no, handsome, anyone can do it, you definitely can't." Huang Xu saw that it was him who asked for his life, so he shook his head again and again, disagreeing.

It turned out that it was Zeng Guofan who asked for his life.

"Master Pony, you don't believe me?" Zeng Guofan's face changed.

Huang Xu shook his head again and said: "What did the marshal say, how could I not believe you, it's just that you are the pillar of the army, let you break off, what is that, it shouldn't be your job, your duty is to lead the whole army with me to kill."

"Master Horse, let me break off." Zeng Guofan looked very stubborn.

Huang Xu saw that Zeng Guofan was so insistent on this matter. He didn't have an idea for a while, he looked at Zeng Guofan, he was very embarrassed, and couldn't help but glance at Zhao Xiaofeng.

Zhao Xiaofeng understood, took a step forward, hugged his fists towards Huang Xu and Zeng Guofan respectively, and said with a smile: "Master Ma, handsome, according to his subordinates, the handsome should not be broken." ”

"What do you mean, sir? Do you think Zeng doesn't have this ability? Zeng Guofan said in surprise.

"The marshal misunderstood. The subordinates don't mean this, please say it bluntly, it is the responsibility of the generals after the judgment, as the horse master said. The marshal is the pillar of the army. How can you move lightly? Moreover, if you let the marshal break the queen, doesn't that mean that there is no one in my Taiping army? Zhao Xiaofeng said unhurriedly.

"This—" Zeng Guofan was speechless.

Zhao Xiaofeng smiled slightly. Xiang Huang Xu nodded, meaning that it was done.

"Marshal, the last general is willing to break off." At this moment, a general will be asked to come out from behind.

"Okay, General Hu, this marshal will allow you to ask, and you will cut it off." Huang Xu said loudly.

It was Hu Linyi who asked for his life.

"Yes, thank you, Marshal." Hu Linyi was overjoyed when he heard this.

At such a critical moment, it is a supreme honor to be entrusted with the responsibility of the future.

Zeng Guofan saw that Huang Xu had made up his mind on this matter, although he was a little disappointed, but he was also happy to obey.

And from this incident, Zeng Guofan also deeply realized that Huang Xu attached great importance to him, Huang Xu actually put him in such a high position, which made him very grateful in his heart, and he secretly swore that in his lifetime, he would definitely use all his strength to help Huang Xu complete the qiē he expected.

After arranging it, Huang Xu reached the final order to break through.

Whether or not you can break through is completely here.

The rumbling drums sounded again on the Taiping position.

Then, like a tiger out of the gate, the Taiping army followed the bloody path of the light cavalry and killed the foreigners.

Bush looked at the approaching light cavalry and firearms battalions of the Taiping army, and he was so anxious that he kept roaring at Patton and at his foreign comrades, and he ordered them to suppress the Taiping army's charge and wipe them all out.

Bush's mood is understandable, but his wish is not very realistic, when the whole earth began to tremble, he knew that they had lost the opportunity, lost the opportunity to completely annihilate the Taiping Army, because the power that made the earth tremble was the real strength of the Taiping Army, and the main force of the Taiping Army came.

A Taiping light cavalry, they couldn't get it, and now, the main force of the Taiping army is here again, and their only wisest choice may be to let the Taiping army leave.

In this case, fighting hard with the enemy, isn't that looking for death?

Bush looked at the main force of the Taiping Army rolling in not far away, and the madness on his face had quietly disappeared and was replaced by a silent silence.

"General, I have already told the soldiers just now, we will fight to the death, and victory will definitely belong to us in the end." Seeing that Bush was silent, Barton flattered the truth.

"Nonsense, you can't do it yourself, do you think we still have the capital to say this?" Bush has come to his senses, and he doesn't want to die here.

"General, we... We are the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Eight-Nation Alliance, which the Qing government regards as the invincible Heavenly Army, has it been defeated like this, General, can you swallow this breath? Barton shouted.

He's a little crazy, shouting so loudly in front of Bush, is he trying to find death? It seems that this incident has dealt a far greater blow to Patton than to Bush.

"Can't swallow, but can't swallow, the Chinese have a saying, call the day to be long, today let's bear with it, take a step back, you can double it back in the future, do you want to die?" Bush did not go out of his way as one might expect, and finally asked Patton a rhetorical question.

"I don't want to." Barton's answer was very cheerful.

Who wants to die if they can live.

"That's good, since everyone doesn't want to die, let's get out of the way, let the Taiping army go out, and afterwards, let's settle accounts with them again with the whole army." Bush took a deep breath and said resolutely.

What he said about letting the Taiping Army go is just a face-saving word, now, whether to let it go or not, it doesn't matter if he says it, the reason why he said this is just to leave a trace of arrogant dignity for himself.

"General, if General Marshall can come back in time, we should still be able to fight the Taiping Army, right?" Barton still doesn't seem to give up, he expects to keep the Taiping here, and if he wants to admit defeat, he still can't do it psychologically.

"Regardless of whether Marshall can get back in time, even if he does, it may be useless." Bush sighed and said a little helplessly.

Such a way of failure was simply a shame for a proud soldier like him, but he could not help but accept the fact that it was bloody.

"Why?" Barton Road.

"Look there." Bush stretched out his finger and pointed to the two small hills behind their position.

Patton followed Bush's finger and saw a familiar name on those two hills, the Taiping Army!

He finally understood why Bush made such a decision.

There are thorns in the front and back, and with the current strength of foreigners, it is difficult to take care of both front and back, and pull out two thorns at the same time, which is too difficult for them.

Bush is right, let go of the road and let them pass, this is the most correct choice, and, moreover, it is a good thing for both sides.

Barton shook his head a little frustratedly, and fell silent with a hint of self-deprecation.

"But general, what if we let them go and they come to storm our positions?" After a while, Barton was worried again.

"Let's get out first!" Bush decided.

Patton's words reminded him of his decision to retreat first.

Yes, if you can't steal chickens, but eat rice, it's not cost-effective, and it's important to preserve your strength.

"Yes, I understand, I'll arrange it." Barton hurried to arrange a retreat.

The Taiping army was still charging at high speed, but the foreigners began to retreat in an orderly manner.

"Little Er, Little Er, look, look, the foreigners have withdrawn!" Dongfang, who was monitoring the movements of the foreigners on the hill, was surprised to see that the foreigners began to retreat.

"I see it." Tian Xiaoer is still as steady as Mount Tai and as calm as water.

"Then let's open fire, otherwise, the foreigners will run away." The East is not confused and in a hurry.

It's a good time to beat up the water dogs, and Dongfang doesn't want to let it go.

"Forget it, it's better not to make extraneous branches, the most important thing now is to get the army out of danger, if you want to find the bad luck of foreigners, there will be more opportunities in the future, if the foreigner is forced to be anxious, he will die and break the net, then it will not be cost-effective." Tian Xiaoer's strategy is still far beyond Dongfang Bufu, and he thinks farther than Dongfang Bufu.

"It's a pity!" Dongfang is not confused and still unwilling.

Tian Xiaoer smiled and didn't say anything, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the Taiping army who was charging at high speed, and the foreigners who were retreating, he hoped that everything would be smooth. (To be continued......)
