It was almost morning, the French army was still resting, most of the French troops were still sleeping, and the third brigade of the Lu army on the opposite side was also still resting. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as Guy woke up from his slumber, and before he could gather the generals at all levels to arrange a new day of attack, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the positions on the left and right!

Guyiru's heart was shocked, where did the sound of horses' hooves come from?

Not only was Guy surprised, but the two flanks of the French army were now in a panic, and the two cavalry appeared in the sight of the French army without warning.

At this time, most of the French army was sleeping, and there were only two infantry battalions on both wings in charge of the vigilance task.

These French soldiers have not rested for a long time, and their spirits are a little trance, and they all think that they are hallucinating!

However, the sound of gunfire that followed them all woke them up, an enemy attack, an enemy attack!

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Sound the alarm! ”

A terrible alarm sounded, and all the French troops in the entire French position woke up from their sleep, one by one, dazed!

Two battalions of guards began intensive fire in an attempt to stop the cavalry from advancing!

However, the strength of the cavalry is also two battalions, two cavalry battalions, and the firepower is no worse than that of the guard battalion, and at the same time, they are charging rapidly, trying to contain the cavalry, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

In the blink of an eye, the two cavalry battalions had rushed to the front of the French flank position, and the French soldiers of the guard battalion rushed up with bayonets, and they knew that if they fled to the sides or the rear at this time, they would definitely die faster, and only by fighting forward and withstanding the impact of the cavalry could they win the victory, and the French soldiers with strict military discipline naturally understood this truth.

However, what they encountered was the Lu cavalry, the really strong cavalry, the Lu cavalry that was even better than their hunting cavalry regiment!

Before the French soldiers could reach the cavalry of the Lu army, the grenades in the hands of the cavalrymen had already been thrown!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Hundreds of grenades were the first to explode on the left flank position, and a guard battalion, under the explosion of the grenades, was blown to the ground, and hundreds of people fell in a pool of blood!

Immediately afterwards, the right flank position was also subjected to heavy bombardment, and the two guard battalions were blown out of two gaps almost at the same time, and the French army was in great confusion, and it was impossible to force the cavalry to resist the impact of the cavalry with courage and formation!

At this time, Guyru, who had already understood, hurriedly ordered the infantry on both wings to withstand the impact of the cavalry, and all units prepared for battle!

At this time, Juyilu woke up, it was already a little late, and on the opposite Lu army's position, the second and third regiments, under the leadership of Wang Haonan, had launched a tidal offensive against the French army!

In the rear, the artillery battalion of the first brigade and the artillery battalion of the third brigade also launched a fierce offensive against the French position at the same time, the artillery of the third brigade has been aggrieved for a long time in the past two days, the artillery firepower of the other side is almost twice that of their own, and they can only barely support it, and now they have a helper, so who will be afraid of the counterattack of the French artillery? Beat them up!

The two artillery battalions opened fire and carried out a frantic shelling of the French positions, shelling them one by one, and began to devour the French positions!

On the way forward, ten Green guns were firing fiercely on the flanks and rear of the two main infantry regiments, and one after another fire snakes spat out towards the French position, frantically suppressing the front line of the French army's position!

Throughout the battlefield, the Lu army kicked off the prelude to the counteroffensive!

Although the total strength of the two sides is comparable, six infantry regiments of the French army, five infantry regiments of the Lu army, plus a cavalry regiment, but the strength is now one and the other, and the sudden surprise attack of the Lu army caught the French army by surprise!

The most terrible thing was the cavalry, the charge launched from both flanks, relying on the grenades in their hands, was thrown everywhere, blowing up the French infantry in all directions, and the two cavalry battalions were like entering a no-man's land, and the flank positions of the French army were scattered and scattered!

Guy was so anxious that he stomped his feet, and only rested for a few hours, and all of a sudden, the situation changed, and the whole situation was reversed, and the French army was now only pressed and beaten by others!

Indeed, the front encountered an infantry charge covered by artillery fire and heavy machine guns, the two wings were ravaged by cavalry, and the entire French position was a little chaotic, and the two brigades were now fighting separately, and they could not effectively suppress the attack of the Lu army!

A fierce battle!

In five hours, the five infantry regiments of the Lu army broke through the three lines of defense deployed by the French army in succession, completely crushing the French army, and there was no power to fight back at all!

"Retreat, retreat! Immediately send a letter to the friendly forces of Britain and Spain in the direction of Jinghai, asking for support, asking for urgent support! ”

Juyiru no longer has the original spirit, no longer has the original majesty, one wrong step, and the whole game is lost!

The French army retreated back for more than ten miles in one breath, and only then did it gradually stabilize, but the Lu army did not have the slightest intention of letting them go, and the army continued to approach the French army, without the defense of the position, the French army is now more difficult to withstand the attack of the Lu army.

Fierce battles, fierce fierce battles!

Along the way, the French army was defeated and retreated, and it was not stable at all, not only could it not stand firmly, but it was also copied by the cavalry regiment and completely surrounded by the Lu army!

The positional battle between the two sides, at this time, turned into a battle of encirclement and annihilation! The French army of more than 6,000 people is now tightly besieged in the area of Taurus Town, caught in the whirlpool of death!

The news had already been transmitted back to Jinghai, and when the three generals of the British army, the Spanish army and the Japanese army heard the military situation, they were already stunned, the two French brigades, 10,000 people, could not support it in just today's time, from the battle to the rout, it was only more than three days!

Is the French army too vegetable, or is the Lu army too strong?

"General Hilton, we can't sit idly by, once the French army is surrounded, then Guyruko will be in danger, as an ally, we must not ignore it, we must rush to the aid of the French army!"

Simeone, the brigade commander of the Spanish Major General, said urgently.

Hilton nodded, with a solemn expression, and replied: "Rush to help is certain, but we need to protect Tianjin, General Saigo Takamori, please lead the Japanese army to return to Tianjin immediately, strengthen the defense, and at the same time send a telegram to Beijing, and send the latest military information to General Bazin!" ”

"Hay!"

Saigo Takamori agreed.

"Also, the fleet on the sea is ready to assist in the defense of Tianjin City at any time!"
