Chapter 194: Counter-Charge Breakthrough
That's right, just when Yan Chunyu launched an attack, Chen Hai was already in a bitter battle!
Yaman ordered the French cavalry to contain Chen Hai's forces on the double bridge, but ordered the British cavalry to make a detour from the Sulong Bridge, a round trip, more than 20 miles, for the cavalry, that is, more than half an hour!
Just when Chen Hai was trying his best to deal with the French army, the British cavalry made a detour!
Chen Hai stood behind, saw a burst of dust and sand rolling up in the west, and knew that it was broken, it turned out that Guo Ye had walked across the Sulong Bridge with himself, and there was no distance from here! The west is full of sand and dust, and it is definitely the division of the British and French forces!
Chen Hai shouted: "Order the two companies at the head of the bridge to retreat to the east!" Quick, don't let the Anglo-French forces surround it! ”
The cavalry mounted their horses and began to retreat in a northeasterly direction!
Otherwise, once the British cavalry rushes over, it is definitely not their own three or four hundred people who can stop it!
Seeing the horse bandits retreating one after another, Yamanden's spirit was shocked, okay, great, it really worked!
Yaman shouted: "Order the whole army to immediately cross the double bridge and launch an all-out attack on the horse bandits on the opposite side, and be sure to destroy them here!" ”
Yaman was very aggrieved, in such a short period of more than half an hour, more than 100 French soldiers died on the double bridge, which is a huge loss!
A group of French cavalry roared across the double bridge, and began to launch a crazy attack with the British cavalry towards the "horse bandits" not far away, thousands of cavalry, besieging Chen Hai!
Chen Hai's heart was calm, knowing that he couldn't panic at this time, and the four cavalry companies under his command fought and retreated. Retreat in the direction of Bali Bridge.
Merely. Yaman didn't plan to give Chen Hai such a chance. After all, there are more than 1,000 people under his command now, if another 400 cavalry on the other side runs away, where will he put his old face? He is a well-known major general in the French Army!
"Order the British cavalry regiment to outflank me in the northeast direction, and this time we must destroy them all!"
Yaman shouted.
The French pursued behind, while the British cavalry outflanked them in a northeasterly direction.
Chen Hai's brows furrowed tightly, he didn't expect that this group of foreigners would be so difficult to deal with. The commander of the opposing side is not stupid at all! Now I can only take one step at a time, I hope that Yan Chunyu's scourge can come over quickly, no, don't rush over, if all of them are concentrated here, then this battle will be too tragic, and my brothers will definitely break their bones!
Chen Hai's heart ached and repented, and he was still a little careless.
The French cavalry behind was getting closer and closer, the gunfire was getting more and more intense, and many of the brothers were already wounded! And the British cavalry in the northeast was also getting closer and closer. If the encirclement is completed, Chen Hai's more than 300 people will all be confessed here.
At this time. Yan Chunyu led one of his battalions of troops to rush over, without saying a word, he joined the battle group, in order to let Chen Hai's cavalry get out smoothly, Yan Chunyu directly ordered the whole army to launch a counter-charge towards the other party!
Three hundred cavalry roared towards the outflanked British cavalry!
The advance of the British cavalry was blocked by Yan Chunyu's army, but Yan Chunyu was strong and strong, and the three hundred cavalry charged at the five hundred cavalry of the British army, and it was impossible to take advantage!
The huge impact of the British cavalry enveloped Yan Chunyu's cavalry and moved closer to Chen Hai's cavalry, once Yan Chunyu's cavalry and Chen Hai's cavalry were squeezed together, it would have become an encirclement and annihilation battle, even if the seven hundred soldiers were not wiped out, it would be a heavy end of casualties!
Chen Hai was in a hurry, this Yan Chunyu was too impulsive, why did he launch a counter-charge against the British cavalry at this time? You also don't look at how many of you have?
However, at this time, it was too late to talk about anything else, and Chen Hai could only watch Yan Chunyu's cavalry approach him little by little!
Suddenly, Chen Hai had a flash of inspiration, why did he retreat in one direction? Yan Chunyu can launch a charge, can't he himself? It's just that his target is not Yaman's French army, but, the same! British cavalry!
The two cavalry together are almost six or seven hundred people, and the four or five hundred cavalry who directly charged the British army still occupy a lot of advantages!
Chen Hai shouted: "Order, all the troops are all turned around, and launch a counter-charge towards the British army in the northwest direction, charge!" On the line of life and death, if you want to live, give me all the strength to feed, don't lose the face of the military gate! Charge! ”
As soon as Chen Hai gave an order, the cavalry of the four companies instantly turned around and rushed towards the northwest!
The British cavalry can be stopped, Yan Chunyu's three companies, but with Chen Hai's four companies, it won't work, six or seven hundred cavalry, fighting against the water, the moment of life and death, the Qing army's combat power all broke out, and one by one they roared and rushed towards the British army!
Yaman, who was in the distance, didn't expect that Chen Hai would come to this trick at all, giving up the retreat in the northeast direction, and instead launched a charge in the northwest direction! The entire British cavalry landed in complete passivity!
Yaman hurriedly roared: "Order, all the cavalry turn, immediately gallop to the aid of the British army!" ”
However, Yaman's movements were still half a beat slower, and by the time the French cavalry began to charge, the cavalry of the Qing army had already rushed into the ranks of the British army, and the four or five hundred British troops could not stop the crazy Qing army at all, and they were scattered in an instant!
Chen Hai took all the cavalry, and a gust of wind seemed to break through to the northwest!
"Chase, chase!"
Yaman was furious and roared angrily.
More than 1,000 British and French troops launched a pursuit into the distance, but at this time, it was too late to pursue, and the Qing army that had completely jumped out of the encirclement had already left.
After a chase, the Anglo-French forces had to stop.
In this battle, Yaman's plan completely failed, and his own side paid four or five hundred casualties, leaving only less than 100 horse bandits, which was really not a good deal!
However, for the Qing army, it was also unacceptable, and when the Qing army retreated to safety, everyone took the reins of the horses and stopped.
came to Yan Chunyu's face, and Chen Hai slapped him fiercely!
Syllable!
Yes!
Yan Chunyu covered his cheeks, and a five-finger mountain had already appeared on his face.
"Chen Hai, are you so crazy?"
Chen Hai roared angrily: "Am I crazy? You're crazy! Are you the wind in my ears when my orders are in my ears? Okay now, look at our brothers, what a price you have paid, are you worthy of the military lord? ”
