Solha gave an order, and a thousand elite cavalry came out of the bud field, and the cavalry in the first row in front of him raised their swords and cut all the obstacles in front of them, while the cavalry in the rear were rifles and began to shoot fiercely.

The British army was urgently advancing, and suddenly behind the side, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and they were all startled, and Saxton hurriedly took his war horse! I saw that from the cornfield, a cavalry rushed out and killed directly at his own team, and the guns rang out!

Saxton was taken aback, he didn't expect that there would be so many cavalry ambushed here!

Saxton roared, "Order, all fight!" ”

It's just that the cavalry is only a stone's throw away from their own army, and at a distance of 100 meters, the British army has no time to deploy defenses, so they can only shoot desperately to block it! There is no hollow array, no rifle platoon, no rockets, it is impossible to stop the sudden onslaught of the cavalry, not to mention, among the cavalry, there are also some people who are armed with rifles and start intensive shooting!

The British army was taken by surprise and had just begun to counterattack, and the cavalry had already rushed to the front, directly into the artillery battalion where the British army was at the rear!

The Mongolian elite horsemen have already hated the British devils to the root of their teeth, and thousands of brothers have died at their hands.

A saber slashed at the British artillery, the artillery was only used to control the artillery, basically not equipped with rifles, only some leaders were equipped with pistols, and then there was a company of guards, responsible for protecting the artillery, but, in the face of a thousand cavalry, the guard company could not play any role at all, and the scattered cavalry was not an opponent at all!

In an instant, the entire rear of the British army was all in chaos, flesh and blood were flying, screaming again and again, and countless wounded!

Saxton was furious, and howled frantically: "Order, immediately set up formation, fire rifle platoon, attack, attack, destroy the cavalry on the spot!" ”

It's just that the speed of action of the British army is fast, the speed of the cavalry is even faster, and the British army has not had time to arrange the hollow array, and a cavalry has already rushed to the front, and the two sides have started a melee!

The British army has a strong army, more than 3,000 people, the cavalry is relying on speed and impact, the two sides are inseparable, Saxton has dozens of cannons, in such a close battle, it is useless, all the British troops can only hold rifles to meet the cavalry's sabers, and people are constantly being cut or directly hacked to death, miserable!

The British army can only kill the cavalry by releasing the cold gun, but the cavalry is moving rapidly, where is it so easy to kill the cavalry?

Saxton gritted his teeth, it must not continue like this, the blow to the British army is too heavy to go on like this, damn Chinese, it is really hateful to use this trick against the warriors of the British Empire!

Saxton roared: "Order, sixth company, seventh company, charge forward, block the cavalry's attack, and the other infantry immediately advance and distance themselves from the cavalry!" ”

Only by opening up the distance and having a buffer space can the British army maintain its advantage in the melee and turn defeat into victory!

Saxton's command could not be said to be not clever enough, two companies of British troops were enough to resist the cavalry for a short time, as long as there were two or three minutes, a distance of 100 paces, the cavalry would definitely not take advantage of the slightest!

However, Saxton is powerful, and in front of Guo Ye, he can only bow to the advantage!

The reason why Guo Ye let the cavalry on one side of the inevitable stay still was waiting for the time when the battlefield changed!

Seeing that the British army began to block, and the main force tore open the space on a large scale, Guo Ye shouted: "Order, all the strange soldiers will charge me immediately!" ”

Guo Ye's subordinates are all the elites of Baoding Town who came back from the northeast, plus the two hundred people of the firearms battalion! Although the number of troops is not much, the combat power is really strong and disciplined, which is far from being comparable to the Mongolian cavalry!

One by one, the cavalry did not need Guo Ye's command, and pounced on the main force of the British army that had just escaped, and the rifles in their hands continued to shoot, stabbing directly in the back of the British army!

Saxton saw the main force break away from the battlefield, just exhaled, and was about to carry out a counterattack, when there was another burst of gunfire behind him, and a piece of British troops were knocked to the ground by rifles!

Saxton is horrified! Damn, how can there be a Qing cavalry! It's going to kill you!

Yes, if the British army was able to barely maintain its composure and fight with the Mongol cavalry in the battle just now, now it has once again encountered the blow of the Qing cavalry, completely chaotic formation, under the intensive fire of the cavalry, the unguarded British army was beaten in embarrassment, and suffered from the enemy on the back!

Saxton had the heart to die, he had known this, and if he was killed, he would never adopt the strategy of dividing the troops, even if it was tied, he would have to tie the British cavalry to his side! Now the British cavalry is twenty miles away, the whip is beyond reach, and it is too late to send the letter, and the three thousand British troops, facing the two thousand cavalry armed with rifles and sabers, will definitely not be spared in the case of a sudden attack!

Saxton roared, "Shoot back, shoot back now!" ”

Where did he still use his order for this, of course, the British army immediately returned fire!

It's just that the cavalry is only about 100 meters away from the British army in total, and a charge has already reached the front of the British army, and there are still rifles in their hands to shoot intensively, and the British army can't stop the advance of the cavalry at all!

A thousand cavalry once again entered the ranks of the British army, however, this time, the cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry attack method is completely different, the Mongolian cavalry is directly charged, the cavalry of Baoding Town is completely the whirlwind tactics of modern cavalry, a team of cavalry is like a hurricane, the main force of the British army is divided into several pieces, like meat, constantly releasing guns, layer by layer harvesting the lives of the British army!

The British army was really blinded this time, and in the face of the high-speed cavalry, it was impossible to shoot accurately, and if it continued like this, the British army would definitely only be wiped out in one fell swoop!

From the beginning of the war, to now, in less than half an hour, the British army has suffered more than a thousand casualties!

Saxton's eyes were split, and his heart was in despair, he couldn't fight any more, and if he continued to fight, more than 3,000 people would be thrown here!

"Order, all the infantry immediately retreat, retreat towards the bud rice field on the north side, and go straight to the northwest!"

Saxton, as a general, although he was not flustered, gave the order again, that is, run! Hurry up and flee in the northwest direction, escape from this direction, and you may encounter your own cavalry, so you can have a chance of survival!

The British army no longer cared about the artillery and other equipment on the road, at this time, it was God's grace to be able to escape their lives, where else could they care, turned around and plunged into the cornfield, and ran into the distance in a panic!
