Chapter 127 Timely Rain Liu Ye
Finally, it was time to fight to the death. Senggelinqin commanded his Mongolian army to launch a crazy attack on the French army. If he failed, he would die. Today is the only day to die!
Tens of thousands of cavalrymen launched an attack at the same time. The entire Baliqiao area was filled with cavalrymen, covering the mountains and plains, and continuously attacking the French army. Even the British and French allied forces were brave and good at fighting, but they were shocked by such a battle. They had only heard that the Qing army was cowardly, but they had never expected these cavalrymen to be so fearless!
Meng Daban's face was gloomy. The Mongolian cavalry had rushed into their positions twice. Although they repelled the attacks of the Mongolian cavalry, they also caused certain casualties to the French army. In particular, there were hundreds of cavalrymen holding rifles and launching attacks. They were very sharp. Although their marksmanship was average, with so many troops concentrated here, even stray bullets could injure or even kill people!
Meng Daban stood on a high place with a telescope and looked at the Mongolian cavalry in the distance. It was not so easy to defeat Senggelinqin's army head-on. He had to use a surprise attack!
Meng Daban's eyes flashed, and he shouted, "Orders: The French army continues its attack. The British Royal Cavalry Regiment will immediately advance in the direction of Yujiawei, cut off the Qing army's retreat, and attack them from both sides! I want to see how long this group of cavalry can hold out!"
The British Empire's Dragon Knights, which had been silent for a long time, finally set out. Two cavalry regiments of more than 3,000 people began to advance towards Yujiawei, attempting to encircle Senggelinqin's army.
Soon, Senggelinqin received the battle report. Senggelinqin wanted to divide his troops to resist, but no matter how he divided his troops, all his cavalry had already pressed forward, and he had no troops to send and no way to split them!
broken!
Sweat dripped down Senggelinqin's forehead. Once the British and French forces completed their encirclement of him, he would be defeated without a doubt! What should he do?
There's no other way! I can only go for it!
Senggelinqin sat upright on his warhorse, holding a yellow flag, commanding the cavalry to attack the French army in front again. Only by defeating the French army in front of him could he turn defeat into victory, and there was only one way!
The Mongolian army launched another attack on the French army! Charge, charge! Perhaps the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have become rotten, but my Senggelinqin's Mongolian Eight Banners are still a powerful force. We can only die standing, not live on our knees!
The cavalrymen fell one after another, and those behind them, through the smoke, launched another charge towards the French army. The whistling artillery shells could not deter the cavalry's charge. Who said that China did not have elite soldiers and brave generals? Who said that China did not have soldiers capable of fighting?
The French soldiers kept firing volleys, and their hands began to feel numb, but the Mongolian cavalry still fought to the death and at one point pushed the front line to less than 30 meters away from the French artillery. However, they were eventually beaten back by the French!
The ancient Bali Bridge has now been completely dyed red with blood. The blood has even begun to gather along the cracks in the stone bridge and flow downwards. Corpses are spread all over the ground, even stacked on top of each other.
Senggelinqin, watching from a distance, felt his heart tremble. These were all his fellow countrymen, the elite troops brought from Khorchin! Once this cavalry collapsed, he would no longer have any sharp weapons to rely on! The Khorchin League would never recover from this!
At this time, the British cavalry also began to detour to Yujiawei, preparing to launch an attack on the Mongolian cavalry, which had already been surrounded.
Senggelinqin's heart was burning with anger. Even if he wanted to retreat now, there was no chance. Retreat would only cause more casualties to his army!
Just when Senggelinqin was at a loss, reinforcements finally arrived!
Liu Ye, Liu Ye led the 800 main forces of Baoding Town and rushed all the way from Shanhaiguan to Baliqiao!
Liu Ye and He Qimou held binoculars and could see clearly from a high place that the Mongolian cavalry had suffered heavy casualties and had been sandwiched between the British and French forces. The situation was critical!
He Qimou immediately became anxious and shouted, "Ye Zi, we must send troops to rescue immediately. If we don't take action, the Mongolian army will be finished!"
Liu Ye said in a deep voice: "Brother, don't worry. Of course we have to rush to help, but we have to decide how to do it first. If we rush in recklessly like this, we won't be able to stop the Mongolian cavalry, and all 800 of us will die here!"
He Qimou widened his eyes and looked at Liu Ye.
Liu Ye shouted, "Look, to the east are the foreign infantry, and to the west are the foreign cavalry. Although we are riding war horses, our brothers are not good at riding and shooting. If we fight against the enemy cavalry, we will only have one way to die. Our focus of attack is on the foreign infantry! Especially their Western Route Army, which suffered a fierce siege from the Mongolian cavalry. Although the cavalry retreated, they were already at the end of their strength. This is the weakness!"
He Qimou shouted, "Alright, I got it. Leave it to me. I'll lead the charge right away!"
Liu Ye shouted, "Stupid! Just charging straight down like that? Can you avoid their artillery and rockets? You're courting death!"
He Qimou waved his hands fiercely and said impatiently: "What should we do then?"
Liu Ye slowly replied, "Look, the Monk King has assembled his cavalry again, preparing for another charge. As soon as his forces launch an attack, that's when we take action. Right now, the French army's attention is completely focused on the Mongolian cavalry, and they have no time to be distracted! If they attack the Mongolian cavalry from both sides, we will join the Mongolian cavalry in attacking their Western Route Army, defeating them in one fell swoop and turning defeat into victory!"
He Qimou was greatly encouraged. According to what Liu Ye said, it was still uncertain who would win or lose in this war!
While he was watching, Senggelinqin once again assembled the cavalry, waving the yellow flag in his hand, and the cavalry once again rushed towards the Western Army. At this time, Meng Daban also gave the order to attack, the last attack, trying to encircle and annihilate the Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop!
The two sides once again fell into a fierce stalemate.
Liu Ye shouted, "Brother, the time has come! All brothers, attack! Shoot with your rifles from a distance, and once you get close to the French, swing your sabers and chop them down!"
The eight hundred brothers were all full of fighting spirit, having just retreated from the battlefields of Tsarist Russia. They had all experienced bloody battles and were completely different from the new recruits from Baoding Town. They all looked down on the foreigners in front of them from the bottom of their hearts. Weren't the foreigners also beaten terribly under the command of our Marshal?
Eight hundred people let go of the reins and rushed towards the Western Route Army like a hurricane!
Eight hundred cavalrymen and eight hundred rifles fired together, forming dense firepower, covering the Western Route Army!
At this time, the French troops in the West Route were fighting a fierce battle with the Mongolian cavalry. They had no idea that there was a ferocious tiger squatting next to them, ready to devour anyone!
