The allied troops who invaded Tanggu surrounded the artillery emplacements of the Qing army, and the Qing army's fight to the death did not retreat, which deeply shocked these gentlemen from Europe. If there is no group of people who have fled, the coalition's evaluation of the Qing army will remain in an extremely high position, and the warrior will be respected wherever he is, even if it is his enemy.

The coalition officers led by Grant were actually admiring the relics of the warriors at the same time, they were actually evaluating the Qing army. If the Qing army is all this kind of warriors, then the coalition forces will have to reconsider their attitude towards *, fortunately, these people are a minority in any army of any country.

Grant and others can understand why the Qing army artillery is surrounded by the corpses of the Qing army. But they still wondered how these people had managed to hold out for so long under such heavy shelling. Even if the thighs of the Qing gunners were tied to the cannons, these soldiers with round white badges on front and back, and the soldiers who belonged directly to the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili also had courage beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Grant and the others had a lot of time to think about it, but the Queen's Guard Dragoons, who were chasing and crushing the fleeing Qing army outside the city, encountered an accident. In the eyes of the Queen's Guard Dragoons, the fleeing Qing army was like a crab in the tide, although it was difficult to catch, it was not difficult to deal with at all. They are very good at this kind of favorable battle to expand the results of the war, and the Qing army is indeed very weak. They urged the Mongolian horses under their crotches to run frantically, but the Mongolian horses could not compete with the European horses in the short sprint, so one by one the Qing soldiers were caught up and then easily killed. The Manchurian Iron Cavalry, which once swept the world, now has almost lost all their ability to fight hand-to-hand, and their only resistance is to fight back indiscriminately with arquebuses before being overtaken. But the bumpy war horses and smoothbore guns are all based on luck, so that their counterattacks are more often only symbolic.

However, the burst of guns they placed indiscriminately before they were exhausted still had some effect. They seemed to alarm the mandrills in the wilderness, and dozens of strange people emerged from the grass and trees, and with a ferocious burst of gunfire scattered the vanguard of the Queen's Guard Dragoons. However, these mandrills may not have eaten the offerings of the Qing army, although for the sake of the local village, they helped the Qing army fight, but they quickly ran away. As if by magic, they pulled their horses out of the weeds and rotten wood, mounted them, and walked away.

"Lord Tutong, someone must be spying on the military plane!" Wen Xiang has been blaming himself for not dying in Tanggu, and when he suddenly saw these strange people, he also regarded them as mandrills. But these people, who used muskets and had excellent war horses, Wen Xiang reacted immediately. Where is there any mandrill fairy, it is clearly an elite team, which has been lurking around the battlefield, and was startled by the random guns just now, and only then did it expose Xingzang.

"Elite!" Kexinga just sighed, the other party was only about 30 people and extremely scattered, but their muskets shot quickly, the firepower was powerful, and the accuracy was even better, almost as soon as they raised their hands, they destroyed the foreigners who had been chasing their forwards for more than ten miles.

"Whose people will it be, this is obviously a wait-and-see, you should send someone to catch up and check it out!" Wen Xiang's mind is extremely clear, and he also knows that this is not the time to pursue those tasteless things, but if he can coerce the other party into the water, the battle situation in Tianjin will inevitably take a turn.

"How to chase! What should I do if I catch up with someone else, take advantage of the chaos of the foreigners, let's go! Kexinga had the same idea as Wen Xiang, but knowing his own army, he quickly dispelled this unrealistic idea.

If he could send a large team of men and horses to chase him, he would not be so embarrassed by the foreigners now, and it was time for him to deploy a counterattack on Tanggu. Now it is like a lost dog, and only a few elites can be sent to chase it, but the problem of fewer people will come. It is very taboo for the other party to do this thing, and a fool will honestly admit that he will deny it in every possible way if he is caught, not to mention that his own people will chase after him. People are obviously more elite than their own subordinates, and when the time comes, they will kill people, and their good hands will be lost in vain.

"Alas!" Wen Xiang sighed fiercely and drove his horse to keep up with Kexing's galloping footsteps.

The Qing army didn't chase it, but the Queen's Guard Dragoons of the coalition army were going to chase it. Seventeen or eighteen of them were killed and fifteen or sixteen wounded just now, which was their greatest loss since the beginning of the war, how could they let go of these strange fellows. And they also noticed that these grass and tree monsters were not ambushes of the Qing army, so they had to find out their origins.

However, there were more than 2,000 defeated soldiers of the Qing army, which must be the big head, so the Queen's Guard dragoon team only divided a team of more than 60 people to pursue those guys who attacked them. The colonel, who was born into the nobility, did not believe that the savage and ignorant East had an enemy capable of fighting them, and it was just a successful sneak attack. As long as the cavalry was in good spirits and had a nearly twice the numerical advantage, he was confident that his cavalry would soon be able to deal with these strange creatures. So the race was divided into two teams, the brigade was the Queen's Guard Dragoons who pursued Kexinga's department, and the leaders were Kexinga and Wenxiang. The squad was a small group of cavalry from the Queen's Guard Dragoons chasing the scouts, led by the platoon commander of the scout battalion, Halbara.

Harbara was very depressed, he was a distant cousin of Bozhtu, who was specially recommended by Bozhtu to the reconnaissance battalion for training. In the past, the results of training and reconnaissance were good, and Changlu had already talked to him, as long as there was no accident, he could be promoted to company commander next month, but something happened today. The task of reconnoitring the Tianjin War Bureau has been going on for a month, and no one has ever had an accident when he led the team, let alone damaged manpower, and today he broke two records in a row.

He was the men and horses who had subdued Kechenga to death, and when he was in a serious battle, he had never seen them hit a single person. Halbara led the people lying in the grass without being exposed at all, but the Qing army's indiscriminate guns, one British soldier did not fight, but two scouts were bruised in a row. Several squad leaders saw that their men were hanging up the lottery, and thought they were exposed, so they stood up and began to fight, but the entire platoon was blown up, and Halbara could only order to retreat immediately after blocking the enemy.

The retreating Halbara became more and more depressed the more they ran, because in order to facilitate their concealment, they were also riding Mongolian horses, and if they ran back to Gu'an, they would definitely be able to get rid of these British troops for dozens of miles. But now they were playing a short sprint, and although they ran for a short while, they had two wounded soldiers, and they were all dressed in camouflage, and in a short time they gave the British cavalry a bite on their tails. And after running for a few miles, the British army got closer and closer, and gradually caught up, and the British army had drawn its own saber.

"Platoon commander, it's not a way to run like this!" A squad leader glanced back at the distance of the British and shouted to Halbara on horseback.

"Motherfucker, go around, fuck these bastards and then go!" Harbara thought about how to explain to Changlu after going back, how to go to see his cousin, and didn't notice that the British army actually copied it. When I turned around, I found that the British army was biting my own Harbara, and it was even more evil, and I couldn't explain it anyway, so I just had a good time first.

Halbara made a few gestures with his arms outstretched on horseback, and the scouts began to adjust their mounts in an orderly manner, dividing into two groups and making a detour to the wings. The British cavalry, who were chasing forward, pounced into the air, and hurriedly reined in their mounts, and circled their horses to fight again. The two cavalry squads were about 800 meters apart, and they were in their own formations, the British were in a phalanx, and the scouts were lined up in a long human wall.

The second lieutenant of the British army smirked, the Qing army in Xinhe had also made the same deployment, and he had also led people to attack, and the result was as simple as cutting a cream cake. Now these guys covered in leaves are lined up like this again, and the second lieutenant is confident that his wall-mounted phalanx can easily defeat them. Even if they had the same martial arts as the Mamluk cavalry, the British still had nearly twice the numerical advantage and could easily defeat them. And the second lieutenant also found a very interesting situation, the scouts did not draw their sabers, but carried particularly thick muskets.

Dragoons are actually the cavalry infantry envisioned by Goxinga, and their main combat weapon is the musket in their hands, and they often rely on strong maneuver speed to win in the way of infantry combat. But as long as it is cavalry, it needs to face the situation of cavalry fighting, and in the past, dragoons have also used muskets on horseback, but it turns out that horseback is not the place to use guns. The countless gun and sword battles on the European battlefield prove that there is still a world of cold weapons on horseback. The Yankees played with their revolvers on horseback, but in the eyes of European gentlemen, the Yankees were just a bunch of hillbillies who didn't understand war.

The thick muskets in the hands of Halbara and his brothers were the five rounds made during the Goshing Akwa era. Originally, Guo Xinga studied this thing, firstly, in order not to waste the existing shotgun in his hand, and secondly, to prepare for possible trench warfare in the future. But when chasing the horse bandits, the cavalry found that this thing was also very good against the cavalry. First of all, the killing area is wide, and the requirements for aiming are not high, and it can basically be done with one shot. Secondly, it can also be fired in bursts, and any soldier can take out all five bullets at the moment of charging. Therefore, when conditions permit, the cavalry will bring a five-shot shot, and the reconnaissance battalion is the key training object of Guoxinga, and the weapons are naturally as luxurious as they are.

After a very brief confrontation, both groups of cavalry charged at the same time, and the hooves of the horses shook the earth, bringing everything into the tumult. The sound of gunfire and the clashing of iron and gold filled people's ears, and by the time the noise had fallen silent, there were only sixteen of Halbara's scouts, seven of whom were wounded. The British army, which had just been invincible, had all fallen under their horses, and most of them did not die, but rolled and wailed on the ground in tears.

Instead of being punished, Harbara, who had returned to Gu'an, was commended by Goxinga, and the position of company commander fell to him a month earlier. The generals of Gu'an, who once despised the British army, all honestly studied the war against the foreigners after the elite reconnaissance battalions in the elite were lost.

Grant also received a report that a cavalry squad pursuing the Qing army was missing, and the Queen's Guard Dragoons sent hundreds of people to look for them, but they didn't find even a trace of blood, these people were really missing.

However, Grant did not have time to worry about the problem of sixty cavalry at the moment, and his next target had already been marked on his map, the fort on the north bank of Dagukou.
