Zhang Zongyu saw the other party's rifle and the other party's artillery, but he didn't notice that there was a big killer hidden in Baoding Town-an imitation Congreve rocket!

In just a few minutes, the soldiers of Baoding Town threw nearly 100 rockets on the road of the cavalry on the right wing of the Twist Army, the rockets fell to the ground and exploded, igniting pieces of fire, no matter how elite the cavalry was, they could not control the panicked war horses in the fire, and the entire right wing cavalry of more than 4,000 people, all of them were in chaos, the war horses kept neighing, scurrying around, and the whole formation was chaotic!

Zheng Kexiang, the commander of the third infantry battalion in charge of the defense of the right flank, sneered and shouted: "Order, the infantry assault forward, give me a hard shot, since they want to sneak attack the position of our third battalion, then let them pay a heavy enough price!" ”

The entire third battalion slowly advanced out, attacking the cavalry in front as it advanced, and the bullets flew towards the cavalry!

At this time, Ren Tian was completely panicked, he had been active in the area of Henan, Shaanxi and Hubei, he had never seen these things with fire at all, and he had seen a lot of artillery, but most of the artillery of the Qing army were solid bullets, and the power was limited, but the current rockets were too terrible, which brought great fear to the Twist Army, coupled with the attack of the infantry battalion, the cavalry on the right wing of the Twist Army was in chaos, and it was impossible to organize an effective attack at all!

Ren Tian felt that something was wrong, under Zhang Zongyu's hands, there was an unwritten rule, that is, if you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't beat, you will run! Absolutely not in love with war, so the Twist Army gave full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and its whereabouts were erratic, and it was the most difficult to exterminate!

"Retreat, retreat immediately!"

Ren Tian shouted loudly, it is impossible to do it, if you stay here, it will only add more casualties in vain!

Thousands of twisted troops turned around and ran, first ran out of the range of the Qing army's attack, even if they reorganized the attack, they must not attack in this situation!

However, at this time, the Twist Army thought about retreating again, it was too late, Wang Huanzhang had already placed a cavalry on the right wing, and it was He Tengjiao who commanded the cavalry, He Tengjiao had long been unable to hold back, seeing the Twist Army retreating, leading six hundred cavalry to kill directly from behind the Twist Army, the cavalry galloped in, and the gunfire sounded like bursting beans!

Ren Tian was shocked, wiped it, it's that cavalry again, it's absolutely right, almost everyone has a horse pistol, the horse is fast and the gun is very powerful! The former is in Hengshui, and King Liang has suffered a big loss!

Run!

Ren Tian didn't dare to fight at all, and hurriedly fled to the other side! He Tengjiao led the cavalry to pursue from behind, and one by one the twisted troops were knocked down from their horses by bullets!

Zhang Zongyu saw it clearly from behind, and his heart was shocked, now it was too late to mobilize the left flank, and Du He in the back was also a little far away, so he could only use the Chinese army!

"Ke Dingqing, lead your two cavalry battalions and immediately take over Ren Tian and retreat!"

Ke Dingqing agreed, and led two cavalry battalions to directly collide with He Tengjiao's cavalry battalion!

He Tengjiao is naturally not ambiguous, using firearms, that is bullying you, today Lao Tzu will let you see the power of our Baoding Town cavalry!

"Cavalry battalion, draw your sword, attack!"

Ren Tian's cavalry was in a mess and could not effectively organize the attack, so Ke Dingqing rushed straight to the cavalry in Baoding Town.

Seeing that the cavalry of Baoding Town actually abandoned the gun and pulled out the saber, Ke Dingqing became excited, if you use muskets, I am afraid of you three points, and now you are going to have a white-knuckle battle, will Lao Tzu still be afraid of you?

"Charge!"

Ke Dingqing gave an order, and the two cavalry battalions of the Twist Army attacked even more rapidly!

However, the charge of the twisted army is a dense charge, although the formation is dense, but it is not neat, the cavalry of Baoding Town is different, rows of cavalry, the queue is neat and distinct, the speed is not very fast, but the spirit of slaughter is vigorous, and the anger is soaring!

The two cavalry slammed together, however, the cavalry of Baoding Town was not only neatly lined up, but also brandished with the sabers that were wielded neatly.

Faced with several sabers that had been seen, he didn't know which one was better to resist, and he was chopped into meat in the blink of an eye!

In just two minutes, the cavalry array of Baoding Town was not chaotic at all, but there was not a single twist army left that rushed into the cavalry array, and all of them were cut off from their horses.

The cavalry of Baoding Town moved forward bravely as if they were unconscious, and none of them retreated, and the powerful momentum instantly suppressed Ke Dingqing's cavalry! In this way, the cavalry of the two battalions was crushed by the opponent with a single blow, and there was no way to fight back!

Ke Dingqing was a little dumbfounded, don't these people know to be afraid? It's simply cold-blooded! There is not the slightest expression of emotion!

Ke Dingqing, who was in a big remorse, turned around and ran, for fear that he would be unlucky after running!

In the distance, Zhang Zongyu looked at the two cavalry battalions that were defeated in the blink of an eye, and his heart trembled abruptly! What a powerful cavalry! This is a truly formidable cavalry! The elite cavalry is a lot stronger than the Mongolian cavalry, it is too powerful, even if its most elite Chinese cavalry is against others, it is definitely not their opponent! ! !

It seems that he still underestimated the elite combat power of Baoding Town this time!

Ren Tian was driven back in embarrassment, Du Yu was no better, facing the saturation attack of the two artillery battalions in Baoding Town, the Twist Army suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat again!

Zhang Zongyu's face was pale, he had just fought the first battle, and his subordinates were beaten so that they couldn't raise their heads, and in less than half a day, they had already paid a small 2,000 casualties! If you continue to fight like this, when will it be a head?

Zhang Zongyu glared at Ren Tian fiercely, and said in a low voice: "Waste, when you launch an attack, don't you know to be cautious, do you think that people are fools and have no preparation at all?" Just like that, he pressed all his thousands of cavalry, bastards! ”

Ren Tian's face was red, and his heart was aggrieved to death, who knew they still had those rockets! This guy is so powerful, it's only a lot more powerful than artillery!

Zhang Zongyu said slowly: "Okay, it's useless to talk about anything else now, the army retreats back ten miles, set up camp first and then discuss, we can't rush to attack, it's them who are anxious now, not us, this time let's play with them well, let this elite know that in the world, not only Guo Ye's soldiers can fight well!" ”

Zhang Zongyu gave an order, and the twenty or thirty thousand cavalry began to retreat slowly, leaving the entire battlefield to Wang Huanzhang alone.

In the distance, Wang Huanzhang's face was solemn, this Zhang Zongyu is really not simple, very steady, not impatient or impatient, he wants to catch the flaws of the twisted army, but it is not so easy......
