342. The will of the world that goes mad
The Qing army was caught in a difficult street battle, and came with full confidence, but they did not expect to beware of the spells that were shot secretly, and the casualties were very large.
Yuan Tengfei's side also suffered a lot of damage, and it was also an elite selected from the army, and the others who were unusable had already withdrawn from the city and were ambushed outside the city. Even if the Qing army lost its firepower advantage, it was too much better than the Yuan army in terms of training.
Yes, after two days of hard fighting, the Qing army had already squeezed Yuan's army in one-half of the city, and when it began to gain the upper hand, Li received an order from the Hubei province to retreat from the city in a large mansion in the city.
"What! This must not be true. We are so dead, and seeing that we are going to eliminate the Yuan bandits, Lord Zhang Zhidong will definitely not give such an order. "All the officers were very surprised at the military orders they received.
The herald from Hubei Province had a straight face and said very seriously: "Yuan bandits' other troops have already appeared outside the city, harassing our rear, why don't you retreat the army in the city and attack after resting?" ”
"Poof! That's it? The rear must be a partial army, as long as the strong army of the bandit army in the city is eliminated, it is easy to sweep the rear. A middle-aged officer surnamed Li said that such an officer with the idea of attacking was naturally from the New Army, and he also left his name in the history books, called Li Yuanhong.
The herald naturally knew Li Yuanhong, and when he saw that he was speaking, his tone softened: "Li Xietong, Lord Zhang asked you to withdraw the army for your sake. If you can't take it, why lose your troops in the city? ”
"No, no. With a little more force, you can eliminate the Yuan bandits, and you can't retreat at this time, otherwise how can you be worthy of the dead soldiers and officers. Li Yuanhong led a group of officers of the New Army to insist on not retreating.
The officers of the patrol battalion wanted to retreat, but they were frightened by the spell that flew out in secret, and after seeing the decomposing corpses of their colleagues, they could not fight.
Seeing this, the herald could not persuade Li Yuanhong to withdraw from the army. I had to say: "Commander Li, I have something to say to you, and the others will exit first." ”
What the hell, mysterious? The others were full of slander in their hearts, but the herald under the banner of Zhang Zhidong was not easy to mess with, and no one dared to force him to stay.
The herald saw that there were only two people, him and Li Yuanhong. Only then did he reassure and said, "Do you know why you want to quit the army?" Because the emperor has gone! Now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, there is no need for our Hubei army to fight to the death with Gan Province and Yuan bandits, do you know? ”
Yes! Li Yuanhong shouted in surprise, the previous doubts were explained, the herald said it so clearly, he was not a stupid person, so he naturally understood.
The Qing Dynasty died Cixi and Guangxu one after another in a year, and everyone knew that this imperial court was about to usher in great turmoil, and this time was naturally not the time to deplete troops in other provinces.
Even if you make a contribution, no one cares. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the dragon chair in the capital. Without waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, no one will do things with their hearts.
The Qing army retreated and retreated from Jiujiang City, but under Yuan Tengfei's counterattack and the army in ambush outside the city, many soldiers were left to cross the river.
After this encirclement and suppression, Yuan Tengfei, who repelled the Qing army and survived to the end, greatly increased his prestige and spread all over the Yangtze River. After regaining his footing, he led the army to capture Zhejiang Province and Hunan Province. Expand your power to four provinces in one go.
"The king of the forest, although he repelled the Qing army. I have occupied two new provinces, but more than a dozen people have died among the traversers, and now I am almost unable to control my army of 200,000. Can you get some more modern people to come over? Yuan Tengfei made a request.
Jiang Yiming saw the rapid expansion of his power, and clearly felt that the breath of the world's will had changed, and he became a little weak, as if he had changed from a normal person to a sub-healthy person infected with a mild cold.
With this aspect of the gain. Jiang Yiming also agreed to Yuan Tengfei's request. Although I don't know if it was the death of Cixi and Guangxu, or the loss of control of the four provinces, such a thing naturally continued.
If you want to refine this world, it's not bad to weaken its defense first. So Jiang Yiming agreed: "I can bring you people, but you can't stop expanding your territory!" It is necessary to continue to attack the Qing Dynasty. Turn it upside down. ”
"Yes!" Yuan Tengfei responded with a smile on his face.
Jiang Yiming raided several strongholds of the White Horse Gang again, throwing more than 300 traversers to Yuan Tengfei's side. This time, however, he found that the entire city of Baisha had begun to get nervous, and the streets were littered with patrolling police cars.
Such a measure is not of much use to Jiang Yiming, who can drive small animals to a distance of two hundred meters, a small mouse can burrow into the concentration of black forces and wipe them out.
I can't figure out that these gangs will never be able to concentrate again in the future! Jiang Yiming thought happily. He is very disgusted with those who oppress the citizens and have a representative title at the head.
In the past few years when he was in college in Baisha City, he was robbed three times when he went to work as a temporary worker, and the salary he had earned so hard was gone. Now that he has the strength, his chance for revenge has come.
With the addition of more than 300 traversers, Yuan Tengfei let go of his hand and attacked other provinces in the south, occupying the area south of the Yangtze River in just one month, and already confronted the chaotic north.
Although Zhong Erzhu also had spells to cast, Jiang Yiming felt that he was far from being able to catch up with Yuan Tengfei, who had a large number of traversers as the middle level, so he no longer supported it. So there was not much turmoil, and Guangdong Province was annexed by Yuan Tengfei.
"The will of the world has weakened further, from a mild cold with a runny nose to a fever. That's a good momentum. After the Qing Dynasty is overthrown, I am afraid it will be further weakened. ”
Jiang Yiming has already determined that the more powerful the outlier established by an outlier like Yuan Tengfei, the more it will weaken the will of the world.
"Poor this stupid world will not find a goal, and has begun to go crazy. Recently, there have been frequent tsunamis and earthquakes, killing many indigenous people and killing themselves. ”
Jiang Yiming didn't even dare to pop his head out, and only by reading out loud the contents of the newspaper through the traverser could he learn about what was happening in the world recently. He had no doubt that as long as he showed it again, he was afraid that he would be bombarded into slag by the will of the world.
Another month passed, and the trees on the southern hills that were larger than the thickness of a calf were cut down, and by the same time Yuan Tengfei's army had invaded the capital and occupied most of the Qing provinces. Only the sparsely populated areas in the northeast and northwest remained in the hands of the Qing Dynasty.
In the battle with the Beiyang Army, Yuan Tengfei's 600,000 troops lost more than half of them before they drove the remnants of Yuan Shikai's forces to the northeast.
But as long as he catches the strong men, Yuan Tengfei, who can become an army by assigning spell authority, still wins, and he doesn't have to buy guns and cannons like Beiyang, so he doesn't have time to expand too much. (To be continued.) )
