Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

The Western Route Army is doing its best to resist the last all-out attack of Senggelinqin's cavalry and cannot be distracted at all. After all, Senggelinqin still has thousands of cavalry and thousands of infantry under his command. Although the combat effectiveness of the infantry is almost zero, they must not be careless at all!

The Western Route Army put all its energy and firepower on the Mongolian cavalry, which was the most powerful fighting force of the Qing army. Meng Daban came to the front line in person to command. Only if he defeated the Mongolian cavalry again, the British cavalry regiment on the opposite side would crush them. Under the pincer attack from both sides, Senggelinqin's army would be destroyed!

At this moment, suddenly, there was chaos on their right wing and rear, gunshots rang out, and French soldiers were shot and fell to the ground one after another!

A burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from a distance!

A cavalry group, armed with rifles, launched a rapid charge towards the French army. Like lightning, they were less than 300 meters away from the French army!

Meng Daban was horrified. What was going on? When did a Qing cavalry unit actually get behind him? When did the Qing army actually have a cavalry unit fully equipped with muskets? Their marksmanship was too accurate and their speed was too fast!

"Orders, order the right wing to counterattack immediately. Stop this cavalry at all costs. Mobilize the artillery and bombard them hard!"

Meng Daban roared madly, damn it, he was too careless, he was actually allowed to get behind him without anyone noticing. Fortunately, there were only 1,800 cavalrymen, if there were 2,000 or 3,000 cavalrymen, he would definitely not be able to resist!

But, even with only 800 cavalrymen, could the French infantry withstand them? The answer was of course no, because they were facing a modern army that had just experienced the shocking Sino-Russian War! They possessed the same military prowess and weaponry as the Anglo-French coalition forces, and more importantly, they also had a genius commander!

By the time the French army reacted, Liu Ye's cavalry was less than 300 meters away from the French army. At such a short distance, and in the midst of a crazy sprint, the rifles in their hands continued to fire fiercely. Even if the French army wanted to stop it, it was too late. Even if it was in time, they would definitely be suppressed by Liu Ye and others under the fierce firepower!

The ferocious firepower caused over 200 casualties on the French right wing in a short period of time. In the blink of an eye, the casualties inflicted by Guo Ye's cavalry on the French army even exceeded those inflicted by Senggelinqin in a single day. This was the gap! The gap between hot weapons and cold weapons, the gap between modern armies and ancient armies!

Liu Ye's cavalry roared and rushed into the French position, sabers were swung up, and the light of the sword frightened the whole country. The eight hundred shining sabers were even more chilling under the scorching sun!

The cavalrymen were full of energy and horsepower. With their powerful impact, their sharp sabers directly cut through the rifles in the hands of the French soldiers, even cutting off their arms! The French positions immediately screamed in pain, and a large number of French soldiers were cut down by the cavalry or directly knocked away by their horses. Once the cavalry entered the position, without the distance to block it, the French infantry was simply unable to stop the cavalry's fierce charge!

The entire right wing of the French army collapsed in an instant. Not only did the right wing collapse, but the French troops in the rear also began to fall into chaos!

Meng Daban's head buzzed. It was bad! The worst possible outcome had occurred. This cavalry force had disrupted the right wing, and the rear army was shaken. Then, forget about being able to stop the brutal charge of the Mongol cavalry! Without the protection of the rear artillery, relying solely on the fire of the hundreds of French infantry in front would not be able to stop the simultaneous charge of thousands of cavalry!

Just as Meng Daban was shocked and angry, the French positions had begun to become chaotic. The right wing was defeated. Not only the rear army was shocked, but the front army was also shocked and began to panic. Once the morale of an army is shaken, it can no longer maintain its original combat effectiveness!

At this time, Senggelinqin's cavalry was about to charge the French army. The French army was in chaos, which gave the cavalry an opportunity. A large number of cavalry began to charge the French positions and began to swing their sabers and slash at the French army!

As soon as Meng Daban closed his eyes, he was finished, completely finished. There were nearly a thousand well-equipped cavalry attacking on the right wing, and another three to four thousand cavalry rushed to the position in the front. The French army here was already doomed to be defeated and there was absolutely no way they could turn the tables!

Damn it, it was just a little bit off. Even if the Qing cavalry on the right wing launched the attack ten minutes later, Senggelinqin's cavalry would have been defeated. On the road from Tongzhou to Beijing, there would have been no combat power that could stop the advance of the Anglo-French forces!

Just at this moment, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared out of nowhere and unexpectedly defeated their right wing position in a short period of time!

Once they retreated, they would not be able to completely defeat the Qing army with just the two cavalry regiments. A small mistake would destroy all the advantages they had originally occupied!

Meng Daban still didn't want to give up at this time. He had finally reached the brink of complete victory. Who would be willing to give up the power of victory like this?

"Order an all-out counterattack! Counterattack! The cavalry regiment will attack soon, and our Eastern Army will rush to support as quickly as possible. We must drive the cavalry out of the position!"

Meng Daban roared angrily and gave orders to fight.

Liu Ye in the distance clearly saw the general wearing the epaulettes of a major general who was commanding the battle. Damn it, no matter whether you are Meng Daban or Saxton, since you have been discovered by me, your life is over!

Liu Ye sheathed his saber, raised his hand to pick up his rifle, quickly aimed, and shot!

boom! boom! boom!

Three shots in a row!

With Liu Ye's skills, even in a battle, if he wants to hit a person at a distance of two or three hundred meters, he will definitely hit the target every time. If he still can't hit such a big target, then the skills of the special forces soldier will be too shameful!

Meng Daban was angrily directing the battle when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back and shoulders!

Meng Daban slowly lowered his head. One of the three wounds went through his chest, and two shattered his right shoulder blade! Even if he survived, with such serious injuries, he would never be able to return to the battlefield anytime soon!

Meng Daban could hardly believe his eyes. He had fought in Crimea for several years and had dozens of battles with the Russians, but he had never been injured. Could it be that he would capsize in the gutter?
