Chapter 177: This Man Is Ruthless Enough (Seventh Update)

Although he has been on the road for the past two days, after returning to the camp after the reception banquet, Kong Deyi did not lie down directly to sleep, but poured himself a cup of tea and sat down.

Under the kerosene lamp, his face was worried.

"I don't know if I can cross this threshold this time." After pondering for a long time, Kong Deyi suddenly sighed and muttered to himself.

He served in the Third Division many years ago, and on the surface he belongs to Feng Haozhong's descendant, but those who know the inside story know that he is not actually Feng Haozhong's descendant, but belongs to the Cheng family.

When he entered the Third Division, it was actually because of the arrangement of the Cheng family, and it was also because of the Cheng family that he was able to replace Cheng Hongbin as the commander of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment.

However, over the years, he has been very low-key, and he doesn't want to be caught between the Cheng family and Feng Haozhong, but he just wants to do his job honestly, and basically does not mix with the contradictions between the Cheng family and Feng Haozhong.

This also allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the Third Division.

But all this changed when the Jian family rebelled, and the three major generals were neutral, especially Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi successively led the Sixth Brigade and the Provisional Brigade to fight south.

He seems to have become an outsider inside the 3rd Division overnight!

The rest of the 3rd Division was guarding against Kong Deyi.

Even if he expressed his loyalty to Feng Haozhong several times, either explicitly or implicitly, although Feng Haozhong still treated him on the surface, but now, he was mentioned to Nanguang City with one kick.

Feng Haozhong didn't kill him, but he didn't want to let him stay in the Third Division.

"Alas!" Conte sighed again.

Now that the Cheng family is finished, Feng Haozhong regards him as an outsider again, what should he do in the future?

He doesn't know!

Even he didn't know if he would be able to leave Nanguang City alive.

Now the others in Nanguangcheng don't know, but he knows that Feng Haozhong of the Third Division has secretly reached an agreement with the Guang'an people, and the Guang'an people have contributed money and ammunition to support Feng Haozhong to lead the Third Division south to fight for the position of county guard.

In exchange, Feng Haozhong withdrew from Guang'an and returned to Guang'an all the Guang'an territories previously occupied by the Luo An army.

But everyone knows that once the people of Guang'an reoccupy Chongguang City, they will never be willing to stop.

After all, the civil strife in Luo'an is a rare opportunity now, and as long as the Guang'an army continues to move south, it will have the opportunity to control the northern part of Luo'an and even more areas, changing the previous situation that Luo'an was strong and Guang'an was weak.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the people of Guang'an will continue to go south, and the first to bear the brunt of it will be Nanguangcheng.

In fact, many people can see this, Kong Deyi knows it, Lin Ziran also knows it, and even Feng Haozhong himself knows it.

But Feng Haozhong still chose to do it!

Now Kong Deyi is worried that once the Guang'an people move south, Nanguang City may not be able to hold it, even with the help of his own Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment, it will be difficult to hold it.

After all, Guang'an's southward army will definitely not have only a few thousand people, it is possible to have more than 10,000 people, or more than 20,000 or 30,000, and there will be no shortage of heavy artillery or anything.

In the face of such a large army, it is really difficult to block it with Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade and his own heavy artillery regiment.

It's just that Kong Deyi at this time didn't know that Lin Ziran only planned to hold the east bank of the Luo River, and as for the other part of the defense line of Nanguang City, that is, the west bank of the Luo River, he had no intention of sending troops to garrison it at all.

Kong Deyi only found out about this the next day, because he found that the east bank defense line of the Nanguang defense line was being reinforced, and there were many soldiers, and Lin Ziran also asked his heavy artillery regiment to garrison the east bank.

"No troops stationed on the West Bank?" As soon as Kong De heard this order, he asked with doubts.

Lin Ziran said: "We don't have enough troops, and it's already very reluctant to defend the east bank, and there is really nothing we can do to defend the west bank!" ”

Not defending the West Bank?

These words made Conte think of many thoughts in an instant.

What does Lin Ziran want to do? Did he want to let the Guang'an people go south from the west bank, didn't he know that if the supplementary brigade did not defend, there would be no other troops stationed on the west bank of Nanguang City.

And once the Guang'an people are allowed to pass through the defense line on the west bank of the South Square, they can directly enter Pingdan County.

And over there in Pingdan County, there is no Luo'an Army garrison now!

Originally, there were some troops of the Fifth Division stationed in Pingdan County, and the Independent Regiment of the Fifth Division was stationed on the defense line on the west bank of Nanguang City and part of Pingdan County in the rear.

But now, this independent regiment has already gone south, because the independent regiment of the fifth division has defected to Feng Haozhong's side and has become the independent regiment of the third division, this time it will be taken south by Feng Haozhong, and it is also as the vanguard, and now it has entered the hinterland of Pingdan County.

Originally, there was a 16th Brigade in the northeast of Pingdan County, but it had already gone to the northwest defense line to defect to Zhao Song.

Although some of the troops of the subsequent Third Division will pass through Pinkan County on the west bank, these troops will go all the way south to the county seat and will not stay on the west bank.

Now, if Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade does not send troops to garrison Pingdan County on the west bank, Pingdan County will be extremely empty.

The Guang'an army didn't even need to fight, and could directly go south to control the entire Pingdan, and even threaten the direction of the county seat.

Kong Deyi couldn't judge what the consequences would be in the future, but he was very sure that this matter was a good thing for Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade, at least he didn't have to fight to the death with the Guang'an army.

This person is ruthless enough!

This was Kong De's first impression after seeing Lin Ziran.

Feng Haozhong sold Lin Ziran, but Lin Ziran sold Feng Haozhong again as soon as he changed hands, and even did not hesitate to kill Fang Guang'an into the hinterland of Luo An'an.

This kind of thing, Kong Deyi thought he couldn't do it.

Although he was dissatisfied with Feng Haozhong, he still thought that he was a soldier of Luo'an, even if there was civil strife in Luo'an now, he still hoped to block the people of Guang'an as much as possible.

Luo An, after all, is his home!

It is impossible for the Guang'an people to spoil it.

However, this is not Lin Ziran's home!

His home is on Earth!

Besides, Feng Haozhong can sit back and watch the people of Guang'an go south, what does he care about as an outsider.

He just wants to hold his small territory, hold the Qingshan Petroleum Company, honestly expand the army, and take care of his.

Kong Deyi hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't ask anything more, but obeyed Lin Ziran's order and commanded the artillery of the Sixth Heavy Artillery Regiment to go to the artillery position at the head of the city.

Seeing that with the efforts of many horses and people, those heavy artillery pieces were slowly passing through the gentle slope of the upper city wall, Lin Ziran was also a little relieved.

With these big guys here, he's much more down-to-earth.

In the following days, Lin Ziran has been busy deploying the east coast defense line.

When Lin Ziran was busy with this, he also saw the fleets of the Third Division moving south one after another.

This also means that Guang'an people are not far away!
