The 1st Division had not gone far, but it had stopped at a distance of fifty miles, formed an ambush circle with the cavalry, and waited for the Four-Nation Alliance to come up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now the cavalry took the lead in launching an attack, dividing the coalition army into two sections, Gao Qiden couldn't sit still, and took the initiative to launch an attack on the coalition forces in front, an artillery regiment, the firepower was maximized, and the three heavy machine gun companies in front also began to shoot wildly, constantly approaching the coalition forces!

Under the command of Bazin, the coalition army gradually began to stabilize its position, and when it was ready to drive the cavalry out, it was unexpected, and it was too unlucky, the first division did not have many troops, only two brigades and a cavalry regiment, the fatal thing was that the timing of the attack was too accurate, and the attack was too ruthless.

The entire coalition army of more than 40,000 people, just the team, was discharged several miles away, the ferocious first division artillery poured all the shells on the front positions of the coalition army, and the coalition army was beaten bitterly, the most terrible thing was the Green artillery, the cycle forward, the suppression of the coalition army's firepower was too fierce, and the front of the coalition army was fiercely punched out of a groove by the first division!

However, after all, Bazin is also a famous general of the French army, and soon, he discovered the problems on the battlefield, that is, the strength of the first division is too small, although he was caught off guard, although their firepower is very fierce, but the strength is insufficient, only more than 10,000 people, and he has 30,000 main forces alone, so he must stabilize his position, stabilize his position, and carry out a counterattack!

"Order, don't mess up, don't mess up, stabilize the situation! , order the French to push back, protect the artillery, be sure to drive the cavalry out of me, Horton, Horton! Your British army is advancing to the left and right, stabilizing the situation ahead, defending against the enemy's surprise attack, and waiting for the artillery to come up! ”

Bazin constantly deployed battle orders, and the French army, as a descendant, was naturally sent to the most critical position, expelling cavalry, protecting artillery, and the British army was good at fighting, so they broke left and right to protect the two wings, and the middle position was left behind to the Spaniards, slowly advancing and covering the artillery to come up.

Bazin's deployment is very accurate, if it weren't for his successful sneak attack on the artillery position by the cavalry at the beginning, and the lack of heavy machine gun firepower, Bazin's deployment would definitely make the first division suffer a big loss, but there is no if in the war, there is absolutely no if, in reality, the artillery is spent, that is, the lack of heavy machine gun firepower, if you want to counter the Lu army, it is not so simple!

It is impossible to withstand the attack of the Lu army just by relying on defense, after all, the artillery and heavy machine gunners are too fierce, if you want to stabilize the situation, you must highlight the surprise soldiers!

Bazin had to make another change, with the British army as the main force, launched an attack on the 1st Division from the flank, relying on the strength of the 1st Division, and launched a counteroffensive to suppress the frontal attack of the 1st Division!

This time Bazin succeeded, the British army of more than 10,000 people, launched a roundabout attack from both sides, well avoided the artillery fire, the strong advance undoubtedly gave the first division a huge pressure, Gao Qi also had to adjust the deployment, to deal with the surprise attack of the British troops on both sides, and the frontal offensive firepower attenuated.

It lasted until dawn when the Four-Nation Coalition was able to stabilize the situation.

Bazin breathed a long sigh of relief, he finally survived, now that the sky has brightened, he is no longer afraid of the other party's surprise attack, and then it is time for us to fight back, Lao Tzu has more than 40,000 people in his hands, and the troops are three times that of yours, will he still be afraid of you?

Bazin once again adjusted his deployment, preparing to attack the Lu army in front of him again, strive to break through the position in front, and continue to advance in the direction of Dagukou, Bazin knows very well that even if he defeats the opponent, it still has no effect, only when the coalition army arrives at Dagukou and receives reinforcements ashore, is the key to determining the final fate!

After a night of fierce fighting, although the Lu army caused huge casualties and losses to the coalition army, especially the artillery suffered huge trouble, but Gao Qi obviously underestimated the strength of the opponent, after all, the British and French armies are one of the best powerful combat forces, if you want to defeat the opponent, it is absolutely impossible without follow-up means.

However, Gao Qi has already prepared the follow-up means, or Guo Ye has prepared the follow-up offensive means!

Guo Ye naturally knew that the remaining strength of the Four-Nation Alliance, no matter how stupid he was, would never let a single first division encircle and annihilate the opponent's strength of more than 40,000 people, this was not the slightest possibility!

What Guo Ye has to do is to let Gao Qi resist the Four-Nation Alliance to the death, it is difficult to go southeast in the Lei Chi half a step, and the rest will be handed over to the remaining three divisions, Yan Chunyu and Zuo Guigui led the second division and the third division from the left and right to advance quickly to the south, as for the fourth division that has just been established, it is also under the leadership of Wang Haonan, directly to the south, and captured Tianjin City, in the south of Tianjin City, there is also a huge encirclement, which has been faintly formed.

Just when the Four-Nation Coalition Army and the First Division were fighting fiercely, the other three divisions of the Lu Army had already rushed forward, and in the early morning, the Second and Third Divisions had already arrived at the rear of the coalition army, sandwiching the entire coalition army in the middle.

This time, the Four-Nation Alliance can no longer rely on the city wall, and without Tianjin City, it is already difficult to complete another breakthrough or withstand the siege of the Lu army!

"Order the whole army, continue to advance in the southeast direction, and do it! Artillery, the artillery you can use gives me full firepower and launches a covering attack straight ahead! ”

Bazin calmly gave the order to continue the assault, but his coalition forces had not yet moved, in all directions, a series of artillery sounds had shaken the earth, and then the shells flew to the four-nation coalition forces from all directions, and successively fell on the position, and the dense explosion blew Bazin dumbfounded!

What's the matter, the Lu army rushed up too fast, right?

Not only the sound of artillery, but also the more intensive gunfire began to sound from all directions, the entire coalition army has been surrounded by regiments, and the last moment is important, the powerful firepower will suppress the coalition forces and continue to shrink towards the middle position, and the 40,000 coalition troops are suppressed into a small space that is only three or four miles away!

Bazin knew in his heart that it was impossible to break through, and now the only ones who could save his life were the reinforcements of the two divisions above the sea......

"Houghton, Houghton! Damn, Lao Tzu was killed by you this time! ”

Bazin roared and scolded.

Horton was also very bitter, and finally fell into Guo Ye's trap, "Bazin, don't talk nonsense, what matters now is to build fortifications on the spot, resist desperately, and wait for rescue, ......" (to be continued.) )
