Now that Chen Huai'an's foreign gun losses are not too serious, and he still maintains a complete establishment, he got Huo Qingteng's order, Chen Huai'an began to command three foreign gun battalions, and began to block the seventh and eighth battalions besieging on both flanks, so as to buy time for the army to leave. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the seventh and eighth battalions are strong in battle, it is impossible to defeat the foreign gun battalion of the Taiping army in a short period of time.

Huo Qingteng didn't dare to delay more, and commanded his main force to begin to flee desperately towards the east, and behind, Gao Qi saw it clearly, and scolded angrily: "Lu Sheng and Guo Fang, who are dogs, can't even do such a thing!" Ordered the rocket company to launch an attack on the Taiping army and beat them! ”

Now the artillery is bulky and can no longer pass Huishan in a short time, but the Congreve rocket is transported, the infantry quickly retreated the Congreve rocket to the forefront, and aimed the launcher at the Taiping army in front, and now the Taiping army has begun to flee to the front, and there is a distance of more than 1,000 meters from the five infantry battalions behind the Lu army, and the range of the Congreve rocket is indeed as high as more than 2,000 meters, which can completely cover the Taiping army within the range!

The rocketeers quickly fixed their positions, installed the rockets, measured the distance, and shouted, more than ten Congreve rockets were launched at the same time, and successively fell into the array of the Taiping Army, the direct lethality of Congreve rockets is limited, but the fire ignited by it is amazingly lethal, and the lethality brought by artillery is not inferior!

After the rocket landed, it exploded immediately, igniting a fire in the Taiping army's array, and the unlucky Taiping army was covered in flames and was burned screaming and scurrying around, and some were rolling on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames, and the middle part of the Taiping army was instantly chaotic!

Later, Gao Qi saw that the rocket had achieved the expected effect, and shouted: "Quick, keep launching, specially, this group of people must not be allowed to escape!" Aim me at their foreign gun battalion! ”

Originally, Chen Huai'an's foreign gun battalion was a little unable to withstand the onslaught of the eighth battalion, but now it was attacked by rockets.

Their firepower dropped, but the eighth battalion would not give them a chance to breathe, and the attack towards the foreign gun battalion became more intense, Guo Fang personally led an elite team to launch a surprise attack on the foreign gun battalion, in the chaos, the foreign gun battalion could not stop Guo Fang's raid at all, and was led by Guo Fang More than 100 people, fiercely inserted into the queue.

The soldiers of the Lu army began a bloody assassination with a bright bayonet towards the Taiping army, accompanied by a roar, the bayonets of the soldiers of the Lu army continued to stab forward, and the fierceness was abnormal, the Taiping army faced such a fierce battle, and the heart was already hairy, and began to retreat step by step, and the eighth battalion behind the soldiers of the Lu army also took the opportunity to start pounced, constantly shooting.

The Taiping army could no longer resist and began to rout, not only the foreign gun battalion on the left, but also the foreign gun battalion on the right under the attack of the seventh battalion, and also began to rout.

Huo Qingteng's main army was entangled by the seventh and eighth battalions of the Lu army on the left and right, and the five infantry battalions in the rear also quickly pounced, a huge encirclement is being formed, once the encirclement of the Taiping army is completed, the Taiping army will definitely die!

"General, we can't sit still, I suggest concentrating all our foreign gun battalions, plus the elite of the Chinese army, to attack the front, we must escape!"

Qiu Qingfei yelled at Huo Qingteng.

Huo Qingteng is also starting to be frightened now, he can't beat others, and now he is about to be surrounded by groups, and if there is no new countermeasure, there is only one way to perish!

Hearing Qiu Qingfei's words, Huo Qingteng roared angrily: "Order, gather all the foreign gun battalions, take the Chinese army's personal guard battalion, and retreat to the front!" ”

At this time, it can only be like a strong man with a broken wrist, and he can escape if he breaks his wrist, which is already a blessing to invite heaven, and now the Qing army's attack is too fierce, once the artillery of the people behind comes up, it is a dead end!

Huo Qingteng concentrated the elite foreign gun battalion and the Chinese army's personal guard battalion and began a surprise attack, not so much an assault as an escape, leaving the other departments in the rear to contain the Qing army, and he led the most elite henchmen to flee forward quickly, throwing off the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army!

I have to say that Qiu Qingfei's decision is still very accurate, and now there are still more than 3,000 people in all parts of the Taiping Army, scattered in the rear, blocking the advance of the Lu army officers and soldiers, and buying time for Huo Qingteng's henchmen and main forces to escape.

Huo Qingteng led the main force of his henchmen to break through the encirclement that had not yet had time to close the encirclement, fled to the east without his life, and finally left the Lu army soldiers behind, however, the three thousand Taiping army was unlucky, surrounded by the Lu army soldiers and soldiers, full firepower, the Taiping army could not resist at all, the encirclement was tightened step by step, the Taiping army lacked the support of firearms, and was swallowed by the Lu army step by step, only more than half a day, most of the casualties, and the number of troops who could persist in fighting was less than 1,500 people.

Even if the rest of these people can hold on to the battle, they don't want to fight now, the lieutenant general and the major general have all broken through and escaped, leaving these stupid hats here to attract the enemy's firepower, who of us still wants to fight? If you continue to fight, no one will survive, surrender, surrender, save your life first, nothing is as important as your life.

Without the supervision of Huo Qingteng and others, the Taiping army fell and scattered, surrendered one after another, the soldiers of the Lu army won a complete victory, Huo Qingteng's strength in a town, seven or eight thousand people, died in a battle, only held on to less than five days in Huishan, this is the Beida Battalion after Shi Dakai's rectification, the Beida Battalion with good combat power, still can't stand the fierce offensive of the Lu army!

Won Huishan and defeated Huo Qingteng's troops, Gao Qi did not stop, quickly advanced the battle line to Yingzhou, entered Yingzhou City, and when Gao Qi's main force came to Yingzhou City, Guo Ye's army soon arrived.

Gao Qi, who won the first battle, won the jackpot and kept showing off his skills in front of Guo Ye, but now Guo Ye has no time to deal with him, because, not long after entering Yingzhou, the old Taishan Dong Haichuan arrived, and he still has to deal with this old man!
