Two world-class strong armies fought fiercely for a day and a night less than 30 miles outside Cangzhou, and the battle was extremely fierce, and the French army relied on its strong strength and artillery strength to continuously launch attacks on the Lu army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Artillery coverage, infantry charge, offensive front, offensive flank, almost all offensive means were used, the French army spent a lot of effort, and the position of the Lu army was still as stable as Mount Tai!

Although the French army had the upper hand, it was unable to attack the front line of the Lu army's position and engage the Lu army in close combat!

There is nothing Ju Yilu can do about it when he is so angry, it is too hard, this Lu army is really a difficult bone to gnaw!

At this time, Guy Lu had to admit that at the very least, the combat power of the Lu army was not inferior to the elite of the French army, and in a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult for the French army to bargain! I didn't expect that in just a few years, that Guo Ye would train such a powerful army!

Before dawn, the French offensive finally stopped, and after four consecutive days of rapid marching, coupled with a day and a night of fierce fighting, it must be said that the French army was now showing fatigue.

The two infantry brigades began to strengthen their positions, cooking, resting, opposite, the third brigade of the Lu army also began to rest, a day and a night of fierce fighting, not a joke, such a positional battle is the most draining spirit, but the Lu army is much better than the French army.

"Brigade commander, are we going to launch a counteroffensive?"

Liu Xichang, head of the first regiment, asked.

Ji Qingyuan shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, although the French army is a little tired now, it is still strong, their strength is very intact, even if we attack, it will be difficult to help them, and it is not cost-effective to suddenly increase casualties!" ”

"So keep the confrontation like that? Later, there are still a large number of reinforcements, but we are only the strength of one brigade, and at most the division commander will lead the main force, and we will only have the strength of one division, which is far inferior to the strength of the other side......"

"You're scared of a fart!"

Ji Qingyuan didn't have a good air, "No matter how many troops the Four-Nation Alliance are, it's useless, they are more than 20,000 coalition troops, no, more than 20,000 French troops!" If it is more than 20,000 French troops, we may be more fearful, but they are now divided into four countries, each with its own ghosts, and cannot be unified in command, what are we afraid of them? As long as it is properly deployed, it will take no effort to eat these 10,000 French troops! ”

Liu Xichang smiled and said, "So the brigade commander is already confident?" ”

"What are you confident of? It's not that I'm confident, but our division commander is confident, wait, it won't be long before the division commander's main force will arrive, and when the time comes, he will definitely shoot as soon as possible, maybe he will beat the rabbit with grass, and even the troops in Tianjin will be cleaned up! ”

Although Ji Qingyuan has only known Gao Qi for more than half a year, he knows Gao Qi very well, this guy is born to be a general, and he is very accurate in judging the battlefield situation, as long as the main force arrives, it can almost sentence the French army to death!

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

The Lu army knows the reality of the Four-Nation Alliance in the Gyeonggi area, but the French army is blind with his eyes open, since the start of the war, his scouts can no longer bring back a jump of useful information, even if they can bring information, it is a military situation that has lost its statute of limitations, Guyru does not know that there is already a more powerful Lu army galloping towards them far away from the man!

Guy Ru is still delusional about completely defeating the Lu army in front of him with the strength of two brigades, and finally snatching back all their heavy machine guns and transporting them back to China to be copied, in that case, the French Imperial Army will have another big killing weapon!

Half a day, only half a day's rest, in the afternoon, the French army once again launched a fierce attack on the position of the Lu army!

It was another dark battle, and both sides kept hitting each other's positions with shells, charging, and counter-charging! The two armies are constantly strangling on the battlefield!

Another day of war, which lasted until the second half of the next night, gradually stopped the battle between the two sides, and the battlefield fell into a state of silence again!

At this moment, in the north of Cangzhou, the main force of the first division of the Lu army had already attacked from behind, and the scouts kept transmitting the information on the battlefield, and now it was less than twenty miles away from the battlefield.

Gao Qi got the battle report from the front, stopped, spread the map on the ground, and carefully observed the situation near the battlefield.

"Xue Guantun, the two brigades of the French army are fighting fiercely in the third brigade, Jinghai, the two brigades of the British army and the Spanish army are also ignoring each other, and they may rush up to participate in the battle at any time, and their two brigades are already close at hand......"

Gao Qi smiled slightly, specially, I can't complain about myself, your four-nation alliance has its own ghosts, and if you don't work together, then it's no wonder that Lao Tzu is dead, this battle will beat you so that your father and mother don't know each other!

"Zhang Botao!"

"Here!"

Zhang Botao, the commander of the cavalry, hurriedly stood up.

"Gather all your cavalry regiments, divide them into two lines, and prepare to surprise the two flanks of the French army, and remember, you must deal the most terrible blow to the French army as quickly as possible! Go to the baggage camp to get our grenades, although this thing is not very good, but it is better than nothing, five grenades for each brother, bring me ready! ”

Good guy, Zhang Botao's heart was shocked, the division commander was really generous, and more than half of the grenades in the generals were given to himself in one go! Five for one person, a thousand for a cavalry regiment, that's five thousand grenades!

"Don't worry, division commander, I must let the French grow this grenade!"

The grenade had just been finalized in the arsenal, and the production was not high, and the power was far worse than that of the grenades of later generations, after all, the power of gunpowder in this era was much smaller. In a few months of the arsenal, that is, the output of 1,000 boxes and more than 20,000 pieces, Gao Qi was thick-skinned, and he snatched more than 180 leaves from the arsenal.

"Zhang Song, lead the second brigade to move towards Qingxian north of Xue Guantun, well, even the first regiment will be handed over to you to command, set up an ambush on the spot, once the British army and the Spanish army in the direction of Jinghai gallop to aid the French army, they will be ambushed here, don't leave your hands!"

"Okay, old high."

Zhang Song agreed.

"Hao Nan, our brothers will go to Xue Guantun together this time to help Ji Qingyuan, the good days of the French are over!"

Wang Haonan is the chief of staff of the First Division and the commander of the First Brigade, and when he heard Gao Qi say this, he smiled and said, "Clean up the French, isn't that a good way to capture?" Walk! ”
