The Black Flag Army and the Yunnan Army who received the order rushed out of the position and bit the retreating French army tightly. Bohua left the Yellow Flag Army and the 25th Company of the French Army that broke the rear suffered heavy losses. Especially the Yellow Flag Army, which was temporarily reorganized by the Zapaner Army. Whether it was equipment or combat effectiveness, they were far inferior to the French regular army. They asked them to shake flags and shout, and fighting against the Vietnamese, and they could fight against the Yunnan Army and even the more elite Black Flag Army, which was simply for nothing. The previous responsibility for the attack had already consumed almost all of their elite troops. When it was time to flee, they could not take care of the order of the Black Flag Army.

The training and tactics of the Yunnan Army are still very backward, but officers and soldiers always have some psychological advantages against bandits. In addition, the Yunnan Army took advantage of the boss in the previous positional battles. Now, even if it is three times the number of people, the Huangqi Army is the most convenient to fight this kind of battle that falls into the water, not to mention that there are powerful generals like Ding Huai.

Looking at the official army behind him who was storming, the Huangqi army completely collapsed. Even if Flaviano increases his bounty, he will be unable to make up for it.

No matter how much your French stepfather kisses you, it is not as important as your own life. You have to make money and spend your life!

The remaining troops of the Huangqi Army of Goutou Mountain, who were persuaded by Qiao Erchi to defect to the French stepfather, and the remnants of the peasant army of Qinzhou entered the Vietnamese country. When they saw Qiao Erchi being beaten to death, they wanted to run away. When they saw that his stepfather had run away, why are you polite? They immediately scattered. The remaining hundreds of religious people were unable to support their independence and were captured by the influx of Yunnan Army, and even Flaviano was captured together.

If the wave slip without the wings is even more unstoppable.

"Don't panic, everyone!" Bohua, who was completely besieged, calmed down at this time. "We are not far from Hanoi itself. Now we have two thousand soldiers in Hanoi city. I believe that they did not support us just because it was dark. As long as we could hold until dawn, we would definitely wait for reinforcements."

It took about 2 hours for the command troops to rush back to Hanoi from Wangcun. It took at least 5 hours for the Hanoi garrison to gather troops to go out of the city to rescue. It would be too late to count on the reinforcements in Hanoi today. However, the forces arranged in the Paper Bridge in advance could arrive before the evening. As long as he received reinforcements from these 200 new forces, he would be confident that he would break through with the remaining soldiers in his hands!

Chen Ergou can no longer remember how many bullets he fired today.

The last time the foreigners launched the charge was an hour ago. Chen Ergou only remembered that he had only had time to fire seven bullets, and the Frenchman attacked the position. If it weren't for the two Green guns being fired in time, plus the two spearmen and crossbowmen fighting desperately, Chen Ergou's life would have arrived at the station at that time.

Pang Zhenyun's Wulie Battalion was responsible for blocking the retreat route from Bohua to Hanoi, and the combat mission was the heaviest. Therefore, Liu Yongfu not only drew a sentry from the left and right camps of his personal soldiers to him, but also allocated two Green cannons to Pang Zhenyun.

Fortunately, Pang Zhenyun only withstood the French two charges, but he himself suffered a lot of losses, and the worst thing is that the Green Cannon has few bullets.

The two six-barrel Green cannons obtained by the Black Flag Army used 11mm caliber ammunition, which was inconsistent with the bullet caliber of the Thunder Ding Rifle used by Liu Yongfu's personal third battalion and could not be used for each other. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army were not very good at operating this rapid-fire weapon, and the ammunition was wasted very much, but the effect was not satisfactory.

If it weren't for this, just two Green cannons would be enough to suppress the French infantry that lacked artillery fire support. It would be impossible for the French to attack their own positions, let alone such a large loss of troops.

Just as Pang Zhenyun was considering whether to apply to the commander and ask the Yunnan Army to exchange for him, a sentry ran over stumbled and ran over.

"Big... Sir... Not good..."

Pang Zhenyun's heart trembled and he asked quickly: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

The sentry swallowed, relieved his voice that was lost due to thirst, and then said: "French army! The French army came from Hanoi!"

Pang Zhenyun suddenly rushed up, "How many people are there?"

"At least three hundred people, including more than one hundred indigenous Vietnamese soldiers!"

Pang Zhenyun hammered his thigh with a "hey". The more than 500 people in his Wulie camp now have 400 people left. The two sentries that Fu Shuai had previously transferred to reinforce were worse than him. He was a little damaged when he was hitting the front position. Now there are only seven or eighty people left for each sentry. It would be fine if these troops were only blocked the retreat of the three damaged infantry companies of Bohua, but now the French army has 300 reinforcements, and it will definitely not be able to stop them by relying on its own strength alone.

Pang Zhenyun grabbed the personal soldiers and whistle commander beside him, "You go see Fushuai immediately and tell him the situation here, and then we can't stand it anymore and ask for the Yunnan Army to come, or at least add another battalion for us."

The commander of the whistle knew that the military situation was urgent, so he spread his legs and ran away.

Watching the whistle go far away, Pang Zhenyun calls out the messenger: "Go and call the chiefs of each whistle!"

The commander took the order and left. Soon, the commanders of the four whistlemen in front, back, left and right of Wulie Camp and the commanders of the two whistlemen who were seconded from the left camp of the personal soldiers and the right camp of the personal soldiers came over.

"Brothers, there is bad news now. The reinforcements from the foreign devils have arrived, and we are more than a mile away. Brother, I have already asked someone to report to Fushuai, but before Fushuai's order comes back, we have to continue this battle!"

When the six whistle commanders heard that the enemy reinforcements had arrived, their faces changed drastically.

The battle on this day has been fighting for more than three hours from 11 a.m. to now. Although the French are at the end of their strength, the Black Flag Army has also suffered heavy losses. Each post lost 30% of its troops, and the fewest ones have lost 20%. If the Black Flag Army had not been strict in military discipline and fierce in combat, this battle would have been almost impossible to fight.

But now the enemy suddenly came a new force, which was undoubtedly a major blow to the morale of the Black Flag Army, which was almost at its limit.

"Sir, how many reinforcements have come from the enemy?"

Pang Zhenyun looked at everyone, "I don't hide it from everyone, at least three hundred!"

Everyone took a breath of air conditioning.

This is a new force. Even if it is a company, it is a great threat to the current Wulie Battalion, let alone the three hundred reinforcements.

But at the same time, several whistle commanders also knew that Pang Zhenyun called them to come not to inform them to retreat. The master had already said it clearly, "Before Fushuai's order is coming, they must continue to fight!"

Zhu Bingqing was the commander of the personal soldiers Zuoying. He knew that at this time, it was the time when his "home army" like him needed to express his attitude. "Sir, there are no cowards in the Black Flag Army. Let's fight the three hundred foreign devils, and we will fight again after three hundred. You can give orders!"

“Good!”

Pang Zhenyun was waiting for this sentence. He slapped Zhu Bingqing's shoulder suddenly and then said, "The Bohua team has been fighting for a day like us. We are tired, so they are even more difficult. Bohua is now at the end of his strength. Even if he knows that reinforcements are coming, he will not have the strength to stand up with us anymore. Brother, I will ask you to take your whistle, and the brothers from the Right Camp, I will give you my personal soldiers to you, so that you can block Bohua's subordinates. Do you have confidence?"

Zhu Bingqing knew that Pang Zhenyun was right, but even at the end of the strong crossbow, there were still at least 300 troops in his hand. With one whistle on the right camp, he could at most 150 people. Even if Pang Zhenyun's personal whistle on his own, there would be only about 200 people. It would be difficult to block the 300 French troops' dying counterattack...

But Pang Zhenyun had no choice. He had only a few troops in his hand. In addition to the three sentries, he had only four sentries and less than four hundred people. What he had to face was that the French army had just arrived at 300 new forces, and the situation was even more difficult!

"Sir, can you give us another Green cannon?" Zhu Bingqing hesitated for a moment and made a request.

In the previous battles, the power of Green Cannon was obvious to all. With the assistance of this heavy firepower, at least the confidence to keep it is better.

Pang Zhenyun thought for a while and gritted his teeth, "Okay, but Green's cannon is not much bullet, I'm giving you a machine cannon!"

Zhu Bingqing was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!"

Pang Zhenyun put his hands on Zhu Bingqing's shoulders, and his eyes stayed on the face of each whistle captain for a moment, and said word by word: "Brothers, I know this battle is not easy to fight. I have applied for reinforcements from the general. We must stick to the reinforcements!"

Several whistlemen clenched their fists and said in unison: "Please rest assured, I am invincible!"

Pang Zhenyun grinned, "Okay! I am invincible!"

Taking advantage of the sunset, Waves looked at the pocket watch. "It's 18 o'clock..."

Heborg looked at his comrades beside him, and was silent for a while before asking, "General, can our reinforcements still come?"

Revelong took the military police to reinforce the 25th Company. The remaining officers around him, the two captains in front of him, looked at the two nervous people and smiled slightly, "I'll come, listen, their steps are approaching..."

As if he had agreed, or if God really favored France, after Bohua said this, a cannon sounded clearly into the ears of the three people.

It's the sound of a two-pound rapid-fire gun, continuous, dense, firm, and perhaps accurate.

This is not something that the Black Flag Army can fight.

After fighting with the enemy in front of him for a day, Bo Hua was already very clear about the opponent's combat effectiveness, their strengths and weaknesses were already in the heart of this major general.

The weakest thing about the Black Flag Army, which lacks modern artillery combat capabilities, is artillery. Needless to say, this fine artillery fire can only be fired by the French army.

The left-wing column with slid waves carried four 40mm rapid-fire cannons, but in the previous battles, they were almost completely lost. One cannon was destroyed by enemy artillery fire, and one cannon is now in the hands of the 25th Company, and there are two more. It was too late to drag and fell into the enemy when evacuated.

Such dense artillery fire cannot be shot out by one cannon, so there is only one possibility, "Our reinforcements have arrived!"

The morale of the French army has been lost. In the previous battles, the tenacious opponents have exhausted their energy and physical strength. But now, hope is right in front of us, even the dying wounded people, the brilliance in their eyes has begun to brighten.

"How much ammunition do we have?"

Heborg looked at his comrades and then replied: "Each rifle does not exceed 7 bullets, and the Hatchais cannon has more than a dozen shells. In addition, the officers' pistols can also make up double-digit bullets."

Hope is not far away, even if the lack of ammunition cannot erode the confidence of the waves.

"Concentrate the ammunition! Draw 50 soldiers to replenish all the ammunition to them. As long as the rest of the soldiers can stand up, they will prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"

This is the last hope, success or failure is here!

About one mile away.

The Wulie Camp's position was built hastily, and it was better to face the dense artillery fire of the enemy.

"The foreign devils know that we are here, so they can't fight the ambush anymore, so they can only resist!"

Casualties began to appear, but the enemy's shadow had not been seen yet. Faced with such a fighting style, Pang Zhenyun was powerless and could only choose to resist.

Fortunately, the soldiers under his command had already been tempered by the day of battle and became more tenacious. Even when facing the enemy's dense artillery fire, they would not be as panicked as in the morning. Everyone was lying on the ground tightly, and only those real unlucky guys would be killed by the bombs that exploded close by.

Pang Zhenyun should be glad that the French army's artillery fire was only 40mm. If it was 75mm, if it was lying on the ground like the Black Flag Army, if it was not killed by shrapnel, it would be shocked to death by shock waves.

The artillery fire lasted for about ten minutes, but in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the Black Flag Army, this few minutes is like a lifelong life.

Finally, the French infantry appeared.

The Vietnamese indigenous infantry were the leading ones. Among them, French soldiers wearing dark blue uniforms and yellow ribbons were interspersed with them. The ribbons and epaulettes on the French infantry looked so dazzling in the aftermath of the sunset.

Just as the enemy infantry began to attack, dense gunfire came from behind. It seemed that Boshe was ready to take a gamble.

"Damn it, I'm fighting with the foreign devils!"

The anticipated reinforcements have not arrived yet, and Pang Zhenyun has no choice!

"Sir... Sir..."

When Pang Zhenyun turned around, the long-awaited figure finally appeared!

"How come you guys come back! Where are the reinforcements?"

"Sir, the young one, hurry up, just now..."

When life and death are on the verge of death, Pang Zhenyun is still in the mood to hear the personal soldiers whistleman whistleman complain about the hardships along the way. He raised his hand and slapped the boy's hat, and said hatefully, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you where are the reinforcements?"

Seeing that the commander was really anxious, he didn't even dare to pick up the hat, so he quickly said, "There are no reinforcements, Fu Shuai said, let us retreat and let them go!"

"Let them pass?"

"Yes, that's what Fushuai said!" The chief of the whistleman looked at the chief's face and then quickly picked up the hat. "Sir, we..."

"What's the point? Get out quickly!"

The current situation is a dead end. Since Fu Shuai has issued the order to retreat, what are you waiting for?

"You go ahead, your whistle is in front of Mr. Zhu Qian. Go and gather the troops and notify Mr. Zhu Qian by the way to retreat!"
Chapter completed!
