Guo Ye received information when he was still more than ten miles away from the arsenal.

Guo Ye's eyebrows raised, the speed of these rebels is fast enough, is the northern government army really as incompetent as the Green Battalion soldiers in the face of the Taiping Army? But it's really interesting, but, even if your southern rebels hit Washington, Lao Tzu won't blink, but if you want to move my arsenal, there is no door, Lao Tzu will let you know what pain is this time!

More than ten miles is not very far, marching with all his might, you can rush to the arsenal in less than two hours, even if Wang Haonan is in his pocket and withstands an attack for an hour or two, there is still no problem, as Guo Ye's most trusted captain of the guard, Guo Ye absolutely trusts Wang Haonan's ability!

So what's next?

Naturally, the rebels are going to be served in a pot!

You must know that Guo Ye brought an artillery battalion, a cavalry battalion, and an infantry battalion, which is an extremely powerful configuration!

Guo Ye deployed three battalions in an instant, and Luo Bicheng led the cavalry to return to the right side of the rebels, preparing to carry out a surprise attack on the rebels; The artillery battalion, under the leadership of Chen Hai, advanced to the left side of the rebels, and as for the infantry of a battalion, under the leadership of Gao Qi, they went straight behind the rebels! A huge snare loomed over the southern rebels.

Stephen naively thought that the northern government army did not have the energy to support the arsenal, so he attacked with confidence and boldness, leaving all the left and right flanks and the protection behind him behind, giving Guo Ye an opportunity to take advantage of it, and the strength of a regiment of the unlucky rebels completely fell into the clutches of the devil!

Stephen's position, a thousand infantry. Faced with the full assault of a cavalry battalion. There is simply no way to resist. Those killed by the fierce cavalry retreated, and the whole position was in chaos! Stephen's eyes were split, but at this time, if he wanted to calmly organize a counterattack, it was completely impossible!

Luo Bicheng led the cavalry to penetrate the rebels' positions in less than a quarter of an hour, and then circled, and once again came to the rebels' right rear position, eyeing the rebels.

Stephen was no longer in the mood to besiege the arsenal again. In a surprise attack, one of his regiments suffered at least more than three hundred casualties, and suffered heavy losses! If you continue to fight like this, it will be difficult for you to take advantage, and only by driving the cavalry away can you concentrate on attacking the arsenal!

Stephen ordered the first battalion in front to be withdrawn and began to organize defenses to prepare for Luo Bicheng's cavalry.

It's just that one of Stephen's regiments has just been assembled, on the left. Chen Hai's artillery also began to wield, an artillery battalion. Twenty guns, all together, one of Stephen's regiments was completely caught in a frenzied artillery storm, and the unsuspecting southern rebels did not even build some fortifications, so they were beaten miserably, and one by one the rebel soldiers flew straight into the sky.

The unlucky Stephen was also blasted out by the huge blast shock wave of the cannonball, and it took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief!

Wipe!

How many troops are there in these Chinese! How many cavalry and artillerymen are there! Damn, don't say one regiment with such ferocious firepower, even two regiments, right?

Stephen completely lost the courage to confront the Chinese army, how to fight, he only had three or four artillery pieces, but others had twenty! He doesn't have any cavalry, but the other side has at least one battalion of cavalry! In the open field, engage in field battles with others, that is to find death! Throw yourself into the net!

Stephen roared angrily: "Order, all departments immediately retreat in the direction of due south, retreat, retreat!" ”

The rebels under the threat of artillery have long been beaten by the successive cavalry artillery shocks, and now that the regiment commander has given an order, who will stay here and die? Retreat, don't care about anything else, life matters!

The southern rebels of more than 1,000 people turned around and ran towards the south!

Stephen gave an extremely wrong order at this time, that is, to retreat, the strength of a regiment, under the surveillance of a cavalry battalion, turn around and flee, that is the real search for death!

If Stephen relied on his strong forces and immediately built fortifications and stabilized the defense, Guo Ye's three battalions wanted to eat one of Stephen's regiments, it would definitely not be so easy, at least not so fast, once the rebels on the periphery got the news to transfer troops to support, it was difficult to predict who would win and who would lose, now that the rebels turned around and ran, their two-legged ones could still outrun the four legs of the cavalry?

What's more, behind them, there is still a battalion of Gao Qi's infantry that is ready to block it?

Stephen's army had just withdrawn not far away, and the cavalry battalion in the right rear had already begun to pursue from behind, and the cavalrymen pursued while maximizing the power of the horse pistol, and constantly began to shoot from behind, so where could there be even a little good fruit for the rebels to eat?

Now Stephen's army has no fighting spirit, only thinking about running for his life, and he doesn't even have the courage to turn around and fight back, so he can only watch his comrades being shot by the cavalry in the distance one by one!

However, now Stephen can't care so much, it's important to run for his life first, and if he can escape one, it's one!

Stephen took the lead and was the first to be left behind.

It's just that he just ran out less than two miles away, and the gunfire in front of him sounded like bursting beans again, Gao Qi led an infantry battalion to block the road in front of him, and a cavalry battalion, lined up in five horizontal lines, shooting in turns, blocking the escape road in front of him impermeable, not to mention people, even a bird don't want to fly over!

Stephen, who rushed to the front, was very unlucky, and was fleeing, a bullet hit the center of the eyebrows of the war horse, the war horse neighed wildly, jumped high, and threw Stephen out of the horse fiercely, falling into the dust, as for the rebels behind, under the fire of the infantry battalion, they were even more down, and the terrible howl continued to sound!

Stephen was completely dumbfounded, he didn't expect that there was a Chinese army behind him, how many people did they come? , Clyde, who is in charge of military intelligence at the ****, I said that your ancestors, you are dead to death! Is this still an army of two or three hundred men? Let's not talk about artillery firepower and cavalry combat power, let's just say that the strength of the army is not weaker than holding a regiment, you are planning to pit me to the death!

Stephen wanted to cry without tears at this time, and had no claim at all, to the south, there was a large army to block it, and to the north the cavalry followed the pursuit, to the west, to the west was the artillery position of the Chinese army, there was no way to go to the sky, and there was no way to enter the ground!
