Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Senggelinqin asked in a low voice: "Is there any good solution now?"

Liu Ye replied: "There is a way, but it's hard to say how effective it will be..."

"any solution?"

"Night attack!"

"Night attack?"

Liu Ye continued, "Yes, a night attack! However, Saxton has extensive experience fighting against that Yaman, so he won't be unprepared. Let's..."

Senggelinqin gritted his teeth and said, "We have no choice. We must attack at night!"

Senggelinqin also shouted: "Come here, pass the order to discuss the matter!"

Soon all the generals arrived. Senggelinqin looked at Liu Ye and said, "Liu Ye, you will be in charge of the deployment."

Liu Ye nodded and shouted without hesitation, "The British and French forces must have been prepared for this night attack. Therefore, it is difficult for us to succeed directly in the night attack. We must respond to the situation with both strength and weakness! He Qimou! I order you to lead a thousand cavalrymen to attack the left wing of the British and French forces at four o'clock on time; Gao Qi, you lead a thousand cavalrymen to attack the right wing of the British and French forces at four o'clock on time; as long as you launch an attack, the British and French forces will definitely respond with all their strength and mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress them. Remember, don't rush in casually. Zhu Hai, you lead two thousand cavalrymen. When the British and French forces focus their attention on the two wings, launch a charge directly from the front of the position to the front of the British and French forces. Remember, charge at full speed and rush into the enemy's position in one fell swoop. As long as you kill your way in, you must penetrate the British and French forces' positions in one breath and split the left and right wings of the British and French forces into two sections! Strangulate them with all your strength!"

Soon it was the second half of the night, at four o'clock in the morning. After a day of hard fighting, the British and French forces were already exhausted and fell asleep.

At the most peaceful moment, the Qing army took action!

He Qimou and Gao Qi led two thousand cavalrymen on the left and right and launched an attack on the flank positions of the British and French forces!

As a modern army, the Anglo-French Allied Forces were naturally prepared for a field battle. The terrain where they were located was slightly higher and the field of vision was wide. Yaman had made sufficient arrangements for security, fearing that Liu Ye was up to something bad. If a night attack was carried out, they would suffer a great loss!

As soon as He Qimou and Gao Qi's cavalry launched a charge from both wings, the guard company of the Anglo-French Allied Forces discovered it and quickly fired warning shots. Teams of Anglo-French troops began to move towards the two wings and opened fire!

However, the two thousand cavalrymen led by He Qimou and Gao Qi were also armed with rifles, and their firepower was no less than that of the British and French forces. The two sides were once again engaged in a fierce battle on the battlefield!

Saxton and Yaman looked lucky. Fortunately, they had made careful arrangements. If they had not been prepared, they would have been seriously injured if they were directly charged by the enemy cavalry!

Saxton and Yaman mobilized heavy troops to defend against the cavalry attack, but they relaxed the defense of the central army. After all, it was not easy to resist the cavalry's attack in the middle of the night.

This gave Zhu Hai's cavalry a godsend opportunity. Zhu Hai saw that the time was almost up, so he jumped on his horse and gave an order. Two thousand Mongolian cavalry rushed towards the British army's front position. The two sides were only a thousand meters apart. Once the cavalry charged, they were as fast as thunder and lightning, and their momentum shook the nine heavens!

The Anglo-French allied forces focused all their attention on the battles on both wings. How could they have imagined that the Qing army actually had a cavalry unit that would launch an attack from the front?

A distance of one thousand meters is just a blink of an eye for the cavalry!

Teams of cavalry rushed straight to the front line of the Anglo-French coalition's position. By the time the Anglo-French coalition discovered them, it was too late to organize a defense!

The cavalry broke into the Anglo-French positions without any hindrance!

The horse is quick and the sword is sharp, the man is like a startled dragon!

The sabers in the hands of the cavalrymen slashed at the British and French allied forces, and they continued to slash and kill! The British and French allied forces were completely panicked. At this time, the cavalrymen had already rushed towards them, and the silver sabers were shining, and the cold air was pressing. It was too late to shoot, and they could only hold their rifles and barely meet the enemy!

However, when the cavalry fully released their speed, the resistance of the infantry could be almost ignored. The huge impact force, even without the use of swords, the collision and trampling of the war horses alone was more than the cavalry could withstand!

The British and French forces on the entire front were in complete disarray, dodging and avoiding the saber attacks! Teams of cavalry began to wreak havoc on the British and French positions. Without light or heavy machine guns, once a large number of cavalry got close, it would be a dead end!

The allied soldiers were unable to dodge and were directly killed by the Mongolian cavalry. They didn’t even know how they died!

Yaman and Saxton were organizing a coalition to fight against the cavalry on both wings. Who could have imagined that Liu Ye would come up with such a trick? Avoiding the enemy's sharp edge and attacking their laziness, the combination of strength and weakness was truly wonderful.

The two men waited until the cavalry had already completely charged into the formation before they realized what was happening. Damn, they had fallen for that guy's trick again! First, he sent out the cavalry to attract their attention, and then the cavalry in the front was the real main force! The empty center army could not withstand the crazy attack of the cavalry and was defeated!

Yaman and Saxton quickly commanded their troops to surround the Qing cavalry. However, at this time, it was impossible to repel or annihilate the cavalry. The cavalry moving back and forth on the battlefield was so powerful and brave that the coalition forces could not aim at them at all, and there was no space to fire in volleys. How many cavalrymen could be killed by firing blindly?

The two men stamped their feet anxiously. At this point, the coalition forces absolutely couldn't retreat. If they did, the Qing troops on both wings would switch from feinting to pursuing them. In that case, the entire coalition would be in danger of collapse, a death sentence! Now they could only hold on.

Yaman shouted, "Leave one infantry regiment on each wing to block the Qing army's attack, and mobilize all other infantry to move closer to the center of the army. Use shooting to force the cavalry out!"

This was the most effective and stupid method. The only way was to suppress the cavalry's charge with military force. The number of infantrymen in the central army began to increase, and the gunfire became more and more frequent, squeezing the cavalry toward the periphery of the position!

However, with such shooting, stray bullets flew everywhere, and it was not only the Qing cavalry that were hit, but also a large number of British and French coalition forces. There were more coalition forces hit than cavalry! Killing 800 enemies, but losing 1,000 of our own!

Yaman was not worried about that. Once Zhu Hai's cavalry threatened the two wings, the entire position would collapse instantly. It was extremely dangerous. Now the only choice was to cut off the arm!

The British and French forces took great pains to drive the Qing army out of their positions. At this time, the sky was about to brighten, and the cavalry on both wings began to retreat. What was left for the British and French forces was a mess and ruin!
