Montgomery, after urgent consultations with Harry and Wallace, decided to pursue him.

However, there must be a way to chase this pursuit, how to chase, how many people to send to chase....etc., this is a systematic project.

After discussion, they decided to send 600,000 horses to chase after them, and then leave 200,000 people to hold Dazhai.

The men and horses sent to pursue the Taiping army included 80,000 British troops and 520,000 Indian troops, while those who remained were 10,000 British cavalry and 190,000 Indian troops.

Originally, the total number of British troops participating in the battle was 100,000, including infantry cavalry, but in the previous confrontation between Harry and Zeng San, the British army had lost 10,000 iron cavalry, so the total strength of the British army has now dropped to 90,000, including 20,000 iron cavalry and 70,000 infantry.

And this time, the British army dispatched 80,000 people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is pouring out, and just looking at this posture, they seem to be bound to win.

However, although it was poured out, Montgomery also left a back hand, and he left 200,000 troops to guard the base camp in case of accidents.

Who can say for sure what happened on the battlefield, the situation is changing, and people are unexpected, and leaving a way back for yourself and buying an insurance is obviously the most knowing, so Montgomery is also well aware of it.

Moreover, Montgomery can be said to be able to make such an arrangement under the great good shape, and his seemingly light move has laid the groundwork for his future extrication, of course, this is a later story.

When it comes to specific arrangements, the Anglo-Indian coalition's pursuit of the Taiping Army this time was led by 10,000 British iron cavalry, then with 520,000 Indian troops as the main force of attack, and finally with 70,000 British troops behind.

And Montgomery's platoon of troops is also well thought out, and he has his own reasons for doing so, and to put it bluntly, it is to protect himself. The word is the first thing.

Montgomery took the British cavalry as the lead because the cavalry was fast and had a strong momentum, and once they caught up with the Taipings, they could deter the Taipings with a tiger-like posture, even if they could not inflict heavy damage on the Taipings. At the same time, the British cavalry must be victorious against the defeat of the Taiping army, so that it will be smooth sailing and captured, so the British cavalry can also get the greatest benefit and the greatest credit in the process. Why not?

And there is a reason for using more than 500,000 Indian troops as the main force of attack, because there are many Indian troops, and no matter what aspect they are, they are well-deserved main forces, of course, this main force contains two meanings, one is the main force attacking the Taiping army. The other layer is the main force to send to death, otherwise what. Could it be that the British army could not be sent to death, so it was natural for the Indian army to be the main force of the attack.

In the end, it was the 70,000 British troops, and Montgomery used the 70,000 British troops as the last bargaining chip, which is understandable, and. For the British army, this is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, if in the next battle, the Anglo-Indian army has the upper hand, then he can let the Indian army fight the Taiping army first. So that the Taiping army's vital strength was consumed by most of it, and then, he let the British army clean up the mess, and in the end, the main credit was naturally credited to the British army, of course, if there was an accident, then the Indian army could be used as a stepping stone for the British army, and the Indian army would block the Taiping army first, and the British army could be safe and then withdraw.

In this way, no matter what the situation is, Rong Gomery and the main force of the British army led by him are all offensive and defensible, and they are completely invincible.

With such an arrangement and such a calculation, it is not an exaggeration to say that Montgomery was well thought out.

But will things really go his way? It's still a mystery.

After receiving the order, Harry, the commander of the British cavalry, hurriedly led 10,000 British iron cavalry to chase in the direction of the retreat of the Taiping army.

For the pursuit, Harry was originally the most courageous one, and Montmageoli's arrangement of the cavalry was also exactly what he wanted, and if such a good opportunity was not taken advantage of, once the Taiping army really ran away, Harry would definitely regret his intestines, so he was quick to whip his horse and led the 10,000 British iron cavalry to gallop away without stopping.

Harry led his troops to pursue bravely, and tried to move forward, and after chasing forward for more than 20 miles, he saw the Taiping army's generals' flags, war drums, military supplies, ordnance and staffs, etc., scattered all over the ground, looking as if they had been left behind when they fled in panic.

When Harry saw this, he was even more anxious.

So Harry and his 10,000 horsemen ran faster.

Then, they pursued forward for more than ten miles, and finally saw the Taiping army fleeing for their lives in the distance.

When Harry saw this, he was ecstatic, and finally let him catch up, so he pointed forward with his whip, and 10,000 British iron horsemen surged out like a torrent of dam bursting, rushing towards the Taiping army in front.

The sound of hooves and the shouting of slaughter shook the sky, and the 10,000-iron cavalry of the British army rushed towards the fleeing Taiping army in front of them with an astonishing momentum.

Harry believed that as long as they rushed like this, they would surely clean up the Taiping army like the autumn wind beckoning the fallen leaves.

Therefore, Harry's heart was happy, he felt that everything around him seemed to be dancing to the rhythm of his charge, and there was a scene of the British iron cavalry brutalizing the Taiping army in front of him, and the wanton blood had dyed the sky in front of him red.

The excitement in Harry's heart has reached its extreme.

However, just as Harry was excitedly rushing towards the Taipings, he felt the earth shake, and then more violently, and he was startled, feeling what was happening, and what made him even more shocked was that the shaking seemed to be coming from all directions.

Harry sensed that something was very wrong, and deep unease permeated his heart.

However, he and his cavalry did not stop there, because they could not stop, they had already begun to charge, and there was no turning back from the bow, they had to move forward, the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddha, and the god blocked and killed the god.

However, the crisis is real.

Just as Harry and his 10,000 horsemen were about to catch up with the Taiping army in front, a torrent appeared around them.

The cavalry, the same cavalry, black and pressing, they were pressing towards Harry and his cavalry with a sky-high momentum.

And then Harry's cavalry was surrounded by these cavalry!

And what surprised Harry even more was that the cavalry surrounding them happened to be an old acquaintance, and he really saw it, it was the cavalry of the Taiping Army.

Yes, it was the cavalry of the Taiping Army that surrounded the British army, and it was heavy cavalry.

And this time the Taiping army heavy cavalry is still Harry's old acquaintance, Zeng San.

Of course, Zeng San touched Harry, this is not a coincidence, but Zeng San took the initiative to ask for it, this is what Zeng San asked Huang Xu for, in order to avenge the last time, he can't forget how the 10,000 cavalry of the British army killed more than 40,000 light cavalry under him, he must take revenge.

And this time, he brought not light cavalry, but heavy cavalry, and he wanted to see what would happen to the heavy cavalry of the Taiping army against the British iron cavalry.

Although Zeng San couldn't predict the result, he knew that it was almost impossible for the British army to get the same results as last time, because the strength of the Taiping army's heavy cavalry was definitely not blown.

Zeng San's confidence comes from the strength of the Taiping Army's heavy cavalry, he led the light cavalry to fight Harry's British cavalry, and left an indelible impression on the characteristics of the British cavalry, so he believed that the heavy cavalry had the ability to compete with the British cavalry.

Speaking of the difference between the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry of the Taiping Army, it is mainly reflected in their respective characteristics.

Light cavalry, as the name suggests, light cavalry, weak protection ability, good at surprise combat, frontal combat is not its forte, while heavy cavalry is just the opposite, super protective ability, good at fighting the enemy head-on.

The last time Zeng San led the light cavalry to defeat the hands of the British cavalry, it was precisely because of his own short battle that the enemy's strength was reasonable, and this time, he led the heavy cavalry, which was targeted.

Therefore, this time, he must get back the field he lost last time, and avenge the more than 40,000 brothers under his command.

Moreover, since the last defeat, he has been waiting for the opportunity to fight the British cavalry again, and now, the opportunity has come.

As the saying goes, the road is narrow, it's not that the enemies don't get together, he and Harry, the pair of enemies, are facing each other again this time.

Last time, theoretically, Harry exploded Zeng San, and this time, Zeng San has reason to believe that he will not let Harry have a good time.

And Harry saw that it was Zeng San, that was also a refreshment, in his heart, Zeng San could be regarded as a real opponent, Zeng San exchanged 40,000 light horses for his 10,000 British horses, which made him very admired in his heart, of course, this is not the place where Zeng San made him feel the most heartbroken, and what made Harry sincerely admired was Zeng San and the light cavalry he led showed the anger of seeing death as home, which left a deep impression on Harry.

Because, skills and tactics can be cultivated, but fear is innate, and the Taiping Army can not be afraid of death, which is what makes Harry feel admired and what makes Harry feel a headache.

If the enemy is not afraid of death, then Harry is in trouble.

However, Harry likes challenges, and he is not willing to do things without challenges.

Therefore, the two met in a narrow way, which gave both sides another chance to prove themselves. (To be continued......)
