Huang Zhongyuan, who was dumbfounded, saw a group of about 500 Qing troops on the opposite side waving white flags and shouting, "We have revolted." He rushed towards his position, and it wasn't until he was close to the distance of the machine gun that Huang Zhongyuan struck a fierce spirit.

Hurriedly ran to the command post and stood on a high ground and shouted: "Departments, you must not shoot without my order." ”

Just kidding, if they are really rebels, and then there is a sudden burst of strafing on their side, it will become the most ridiculous joke in the world, the rebel army was completely annihilated by the rebel army, Huang Zhongyuan felt terrible when he thought about it, but fortunately he reflected it.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to determine whether this group of people is really revolting, it cannot be ruled out that it is a moth made by the Qing army, although it is indeed too ridiculous to do so, but it has to be guarded against.

Cai Yi and Tang Jiyao led this battalion of revolted Qing troops until they ran to a place 500 meters away from the position of the first battalion, and only then slowed down, because further forward was the battle zone, but they still kept shouting the slogan "We have revolted".

Cai Ye looked at the corpses of the Qing army all over the ground in front of him, and was secretly shocked in his heart, really ruthless and miserable.

He didn't stop until he was 20 meters away from the position of the first battalion, looking at the heads exposed in the rows of positions in front of him, aiming at the muzzles of the black holes on his side, Cai Ye secretly prayed, don't shoot!

took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Cai Yi, the commander of the 72nd Standard 2nd Battalion of the Kunming New Army, is now leading more than 500 people in his department to announce the uprising, and came to participate in the revolutionary rebel army led by General Huang, but I don't know that General Huang is there." ”

Cai Ye also thought that the person in charge of this revolutionary rebel army was Huang Mingtang.

Huang Zhongyuan, who had already come to the front line, secretly said that he was really in an uprising, but he responded with some caution: "I am Huang Zhongyuan, the commander of the first battalion of the Hekou Revolutionary Rebel Army, and I welcome Your Excellency to lead your troops to revolt, but for the sake of insurance, Your Excellency's troops will drop their weapons first, and I will order someone to take you to see the young army commander, and the rest of the people will go to the rear to rest first and wait for the arrangement." ”

When Cai Ye heard that he was going to put down his weapon, he was silent for a while, people didn't believe in him too much, he shook his head helplessly, and still gave an order: "Put down your weapons." ”

These more than 500 ordinary soldiers basically don't know about this uprising, they can do whatever they want, and several centurions who are disobedient were secretly killed by Cai Yi and Tang Jiyao, and the remaining officers here know about this uprising, and no one cares about what ordinary soldiers think.

Then under the leadership of Cai Ye and Tang Jiyao, they all slowly dropped the guns in their hands, and no one dared not to lose them, so many guns on the opposite position were aimed at them, the bosses all lost their guns, and an ordinary soldier dared to hold it to death.

Subsequently, Huang Zhongyuan transferred two platoons of people from the third company to "escort" the 500 people to the rear as the station of the third battalion of the reserve, and several officers such as Cai Yi and Tang Jiyao were sent by Huang Zhongyuan to the artillery position on the top of the hill on the right to meet Huang Zhongting.

At this time, only five kilometers away from this in the Qing army's Nanxi camp, it was only to react, because the distance between the two places was too close, Cai Ye and people ran from the south intersection of Nanxi Town It only took more than ten minutes, and the Qing army was very confused at the beginning, and no one thought that there would be a rebellion in front of the battle.

At this moment, General Yang Zhenhong, who had just laid down and was about to rest, was called out by a rapid knock outside the door, "General, general, something is wrong."

Yang Zhenhong hurriedly put on his general's uniform, opened the door and looked at his personal guard, and said impatiently: "What's wrong?" Have the rebels attacked? I didn't hear the gunshots, so don't shout. ”

The guard hurriedly said: "No, general, the 71st Standard 2nd Battalion stationed at the south intersection of Nanxi Town has rebelled under the leadership of Cai Yiguan, and now it has run to the rebels. ”

Saying that, the guard paused for a moment, and then continued: "Now the seventy-first standard Lu Biaotong is counting the troops and horses, preparing to kill him, and said that he wants to kill Cai Yi. ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhenhong was stunned at first, silent for a moment, and then his face was distorted and he scolded angrily: "Yaya's bastard, as soon as Lao Tzu promoted him to the pipe belt, he gave Lao Tzu the opposite, this fucking white-eyed wolf, Lao Tzu is going to scrape him alive." ”

Then he reacted with some hindsight, and hurriedly said: "Quick, send someone to stop Lu Zhiqing, damn, it's not messy enough, isn't it, and we don't lose much, right?" After stopping him, I took it directly, as a standard, I didn't know anyone, I didn't use people properly, I didn't have the slightest vigilance, and I was cut off. ”

After hearing this, the guard said in his heart: "I don't know people, I don't use people properly, it's not you who promoted Cai Yi!" Lu Biaotong was cut down, then it was really wronged. ”

Of course, a small captain of his personal soldiers did not dare to speak out, and the order still had to be carried out, so he immediately ordered a few of his personal guards to prepare to cut people.

At this moment, Yang Zhenhong's heart is 10,000 grass and mud horses, in just half a day, two failed attacks and lost a large number of soldiers, and encountered the rebellion of his subordinates.

However, he has been leading troops for decades, and Yang Zhenhong simply adjusted his mentality, and said loudly to the heralds beside him: "Order, the seventy-first standard is concurrently served by a battalion, and all departments immediately stabilize the morale of the army, and if there is a rebellion, the heads of each department will directly commit suicide, and I will cut people in the province." ”

Cai Yi's uprising led to the seventy-first standard, which had not participated in the war, was also considered a half-abandoned state, so far, in just half a day, the Qing army has lost more than 1,500 people, and there are more than 3,500 people left, and the main force is still there.

On Cai Yi's side, at this time, Huang Zhongyuan sent someone to take Cai Yi and others to the artillery position on the top of the mountain to meet Huang Zhongting.

Halfway up the mountainside, he encountered the position of Xu Guichuan of the second battalion, and when he was hundreds of meters away, Xu Guichuan whistled at Cai Yi and his party.

"Yo, newcomer, I'm Xu Guichuan, the commander of the second battalion, and when I saw the young commander, I mentioned it to him, and said to mess with me, I'll cover you, haha!" Xu Guichuan laughed.

Cai Ye and his entourage ignored him, and those who are familiar with Xu Guichuan know what kind of person he is.

Cai Yi and others didn't know Xu Guichuan, let alone who Xu Guichuan was, he was also an arrogant person, and he only knew that the commander-in-chief of the Hekou Rebel Army was Huang Mingtang.

However, Cai Ye was also secretly observing Xu Guichuan's position, and found that there was also a unit here, about 300 people, and everyone was equipped with guns, and he also saw a light machine gun and a cannon next to Xu Guichuan, which made him secretly amazed.

When I came, I heard that there was a reserve behind the main position of the first battalion that had just passed, and according to the configuration here, it was also a full battalion, so I had to admire Commander Huang Mingtang, after the defeat of Kunming, he could still pull up a team of so many people in such a short period of time, and the equipment was good, except for the gun, it looked like new.

That cannon was captured when Huang Zhongting returned to Hekou County, and it was also a rifled cannon made by the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

Xu Guichuan saw that the five German-made 75mm Krupp mountain guns he had just purchased had no hope of coming, so he turned to this rifled gun and grinded Huang Zhongting for most of the day.

I can't help it, I just want to shoot. Domestic rifled guns are also cannons, which are better than no cannons.

Half a moment later, Cai Ye and his party finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and the first thing that caught their eyes was the five 75mm Krupp mountain guns.

Cai Yi was shocked, and Tang Jiyao was also shocked, they all went to military schools, so they naturally knew what kind of artillery this was.

"I'm a good one, the German-made 75mm Krupp mountain cannon, or 5 guns, which bad pen thing says that the revolutionary army rebel army has no artillery, pull him over, Lao Tzu swollen his face, and he doesn't know the." Cai Ye was shocked, standing in place trembling, his heart was about to jump out, he was just a little surprised when he saw a rifled cannon just now, but at this moment he was stunned.
