Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Liu Ye's cavalry brought tremendous pressure to the Anglo-French coalition forces on the flank positions. The 2,500 cavalrymen charging back and forth on the positions were simply beyond the control of the infantry. Even if the British army was extremely powerful, they would find it difficult to resist the cavalry that rushed into their positions, and were constantly forced to retreat by the cavalry!

Liu Ye was also extremely anxious at this time. He also saw that the right wing position was in crisis. If the situation could not be reversed on the left wing position, the right wing position would also be lost, and the Qing army would collapse completely!

Liu Ye shouted, "Zhu Hai, lead Baoding's troops to attack the perimeter of the position and fire a volley!"

Zhu Hai agreed and left the battlefield with the soldiers of Baoding Town, starting to shoot at the Anglo-French coalition forces on the positions. The Anglo-French coalition forces were attacked by cavalry sabers from within and were shot at by cavalry from outside. They could not withstand it anymore and were finally defeated!

Liu Ye once again took the initiative on the flank position. At this time, Yaman and Sachs were extremely anxious. They had just taken the flank position, and before they could even get warm to it, it changed hands again. Is Liu Ye really that powerful?

Saxman shouted, "Order the entire army to launch another attack on the flank position. They are all cavalry, which is not conducive to defense! Attack!"

The British and French forces began to assemble again, preparing for the second round of offensive!

However, Liu Ye did not give him this opportunity. The poor artillery skills of the Green Camp soldiers did not mean that Liu Ye did not have talented people who could operate artillery. On the battlefield in the northeast, the soldiers of Baoding Town had experienced all kinds of battles. Even if they could not be considered the leaders in military literacy, they were still top-notch among the Qing army!

Liu Ye shouted, "Gao Qi, you bastard, bring some men to take over the artillery positions on the flanks immediately! They're a bunch of rubbish, get them all to the side and immediately launch an artillery attack on the British and French forces and drive them back!"

Gao Qi agreed and led an army to drive the Qing artillery aside and took over the artillery.

It was the same old homemade cannon, but in the hands of the Baoding Town Army, the power it unleashed was far greater than that of the Green Camp Army. At least when a shell was fired, it wouldn't hit their feet. On the path of the British and French forces, it kept exploding, stopping their offensive!

The British and French forces launched three consecutive attacks, but were all beaten back by Liu Ye's cavalry and artillery, and could no longer rush to the Qing army's flank positions!

Senggelinqin in the distance finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the left wing position was saved. Damn, Ruilin is a waste. He almost killed me! Fortunately, there is Liu Ye!

However, the left wing position was held, but at this time, the right wing position was in danger again. Even the 6,000 soldiers of the Beijing Camp were still unable to withstand the crazy attack of the 4,000 British and French allied forces! Where the bayonets passed, the Qing soldiers let out a miserable howl and kept rolling on the ground. It was a horrible sight! Even if Shengbao personally participated in the battle, he could not change the situation before him.

During the fierce battle, Shengbao suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He was doomed. Shengbao had been shot several times at Baliqiao. Although he was not hit in vital parts, his injuries were serious. He had been fighting with injuries to begin with, and now he was waving a sword to kill the enemy himself. With such violent movements, it would be strange if the wounds did not burst open!

In the blink of an eye, blood gushed out from the two gunshot wounds on his back, staining his clothes and armor. Shengbao's body began to become stiff, and his saber began to slow down. A French soldier saw an opportunity, thrust his bayonet, and stabbed the warhorse directly in the neck. The warhorse neighed, jumped high, and threw Shengbao off the horse!

The soldiers behind rushed over and protected Shengbao behind them. At this time, Shengbao was injured even more and could not even stand. With the help of the soldiers, he had to retreat to the rear!

As Shengbao retreated, his Green Camp soldiers could no longer resist and fled in panic, and the entire position began to collapse!

Senggelinqin was stamping his feet anxiously in the distance. What bad luck! At the critical moment, Kezhai's injury relapsed!

"Come here, bring the cavalry to support the right wing immediately!"

Senggelinqin had to send out the only cavalry he had once again!

The cavalry roared towards the position. The British and French forces had suffered enough from the Qing cavalry, so how could they let them get close? They raised their rifles and fired continuously at the cavalry. The cavalrymen in the front fell off their horses, restrained by the dense barrage of bullets. The two sides fell into a standoff, but the left wing position was still lost!

Of the more than 6,000 Qing troops on the entire right wing, more than 2,000 were killed and more than 2,000 were wounded. They were terrified by the British and French forces. Their sharp firearms and powerful fighting ability were far beyond the Qing army's ability to withstand!

Liu Ye rushed to Senggelinqin anxiously and asked, "Your Majesty, how is the central army doing?"

Senggelinqin smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Ye, I didn't expect these foreigners to be so fierce in close combat. They are invincible all over the world. It seems that our arrival is really not a stroke of luck. Even if we fight them hand-to-hand, we are still no match for them. The central army is fine. We have foreign cannons in hand and completely blocked their attack. However, look at the two flanks. They have been captured. If we hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that my central army would have collapsed..."

Liu Ye looked into the distance, his heart trembling with sadness. He said anxiously, "Your Highness, didn't you realize that the enemy's 2,000 men were just launching a feint? Their attack wasn't aimed at the center, but at the two flanks, first the left, then the right, and finally the center. You actually used all your foreign artillery to defend the center. You're using a butcher knife to crack a nut..."

Senggelinqin was startled and said anxiously, "No way, Liu Ye, look at the dense gunfire! They're all coming towards the central army!"

Liu Ye said helplessly: "Your Highness, didn't you notice that they were just cruising in the back? They had no intention of rushing up. They were just attracting our artillery fire. They only had 2,000 people attacking our central army, but deployed nearly 8,000 people on both wings. Isn't this enough to explain the problem? All our foreign artillery has been tied down. Without the Western artillery controlled by the brothers of the Firearms Battalion to provide fire support, the two flanks are certainly no match for the British and French forces. Quick, adjust our deployment immediately, turn all firepower to the right wing position, open fire with all our strength, and order the cavalry to launch a fierce attack on the foreigners under the cover of artillery fire. Perhaps, we still have a chance to regain our position!"
