The Jianwu army broke through the enemy's defense line with a devastating momentum, the wreckage of the broken arm, witnessed the bloody killing, the smoke of gunpowder has not yet dissipated, and the deputy general Fu Xianchu led a large army to rush to attack the second line of defense of the Beidong Army's armor.

Liu Mingdeng consolidated his position, wanting to capture the armor set in the shortest possible time, in his opinion, the biggest enemy, or the Japanese army, the combat effectiveness of the Beidong Army plummeted, Liu Mingdeng was very confident that he would defeat the main force of the Beidong Army in the armor set, if the main force of the Beidong Army was annihilated in the armor set, then the next battle would be less worrying.

With the help of the Beidong people, the Japanese army was able to gain a firm foothold in Taiwan, and the ethnic minorities who betrayed the Qing Dynasty had no reason to exist in the world.

Liu Mingdeng has the determination to destroy the Beidong race, he does not want the Beidong prisoners of war, the Beidong nationality has only more than 40,000 people, this ethnic minority has been wiped out countless by the Qing Dynasty, this is also the Qing army's habitual trick for the ethnic minorities who betrayed the Qing Dynasty, Liu Mingdeng actually has no big opinion on Li Guolou's battle plan, and he admires Li Guolou's tactical use very much, and only by capturing the armor set can the Japanese army's northward development channel be cut off, and the land threat of the Japanese army to Keelung Port can be solved once and for all.

It's a pity that Li Guolou is in charge of the current war in Taiwan, and Li Guolou still adopts a policy of buying and vetoing his strategy for the ethnic minorities who betrayed the Qing Dynasty, which makes Liu Mingdeng angry until now.

Liu Mingdeng's biggest dissatisfaction with Li Guolou is how to treat Taiwan's ethnic minorities.

Liu Mingdeng adheres to the cruelty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is a murderer, and has never changed his temper in his life.

(Later, Liu Mingdeng showed his savage nature in the battle against the Hui army in the northwest, so that Zuo Zongtang no longer used Liu Mingdeng in the future campaign to recover Xinjiang,)

The first battle of the capture of the armor set ended with a complete victory for the Qing army, and only in this battle, the Jianwu army eliminated a Japanese artillery squadron, although thirty-five guns were self-destroyed by the Japanese army, but the bronze can be re-melted and reused, this is "money".

Seeing the thirty-five bronze artillery, Liu Mingdeng was in a good mood, stroked the thick barrel, and praised: "Fight well, make persistent efforts, strive to win the armor set in three days, and send electricity to Li Guolou, my heroic Jianwu army has broken through the first line of defense of the armor set, completely annihilated an artillery squadron of the Japanese army, and captured thirty-five bronze artillery pieces??????"

Liu Mingdeng was in the first line of defense, stopped for a while, understood the casualties of the soldiers, found that the morale of the army was high, and he was still immersed in the joy of victory.

The Jianwu Army wiped out more than 800 Beidong troops and captured more than 600 Beidong prisoners, Liu Mingdeng saw a large number of prisoners of war, his eyes were on fire, and the barbaric Beidong Army colluded with the Japanese army in the plain area, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, killing tens of thousands of Taiwanese people.

Although this blood debt can be counted on the head of the Japanese army, but reasonable people know that the Beidong Army has a lot of blood debts and committed heinous crimes, Li Guolou actually shielded the Beidong people, and also sent a supervisor to supervise the operation of the Jianwu Army, and the Jianwu Army also had someone to supervise the operation, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the officers and soldiers of the Jianwu Army, Liu Mingdeng endured his anger in his stomach, and with a tiger face, he did not care about more than 600 prisoners of war, but ran to comfort the injured Yang Jianshi.

"Swordsman Yang is good, this official remembers you, give me a good care of my injuries, you give Jianwu Army a long face, and the Chinese man should meet the arrow." Liu Mingdeng nodded approvingly, and gently pressed Yang Jianshi's shoulder, the injured person couldn't move, and he was quite appreciative of Yang Jianshi's feat.

The sturdy Yang Jianshi was seriously injured in two places in his chest and waist, but both were skin injuries, although he lost too much blood and was no longer in danger of his life, seeing Liu Mingdeng come to see him in person, wouldn't he be moved, so excited that he burst into tears, and couldn't control himself.

Who said that the Jianwu Army is not comparable to the Xinwu Army, Li Guolou has a few Shaolin monks is amazing, he thinks he is unparalleled in the world, Liu Mingdeng is secretly jealous of Li Guolou's good luck, and now he is finally angry, the heroes of the Jianwu Army, countless, so many warriors who fight bayonets, are heroes, Yang Jianshi is the "battle flag" of the Jianwu Army, it will be played, Liu Mingdeng found a talent, decided to train Yang Jianshi, comforted Yang Jianshi a few words, and left.

War is the best stage for soldiers to advance, brave soldiers, as long as they survive, will soon be promoted, officers who dare not charge into battle are quickly cleared, Liu Mingdeng restored his former demeanor, showing the demeanor of a general, Liu Mingdeng stepped out of the trench, and the herald took Li Guolou's commendation order.

Liu Mingdeng glanced at the ten lines, looking at the commendation order, his heart was still very excited, Li Guolou praised him, and rewarded the Jianwu army with 500,000 silver dollars, and followed the "rich man" to fight, the benefits were immediately cashed out, and it was a wise decision to take refuge in Li Guolou.

Liu Mingdeng's head was soaring, he couldn't control himself with excitement, the generals were all the masters who saw the money, the generals said that they would turn their faces, and they would turn their faces ruthlessly, just like turning a book, and they would be loyal for a lifetime, and Liu Mingdeng had regarded Li Guolou as the master.

Liu Mingdeng has already thought about it, after Zuo Zongtang's death, he took refuge in Li Guolou, and now only Li Guolou is the first to look forward, and he has turned his dissatisfaction with Li Guolou into a death of liver and brain, but people can't become too fast, so they will have no dignity, and they will be looked down upon by their generals.

Liu Mingdeng pretended not to look at it, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said: "Well, I knew that Li Guolou would say this, the new military army is almost unbearable in the Pingtung Plain, and we want our army to support it quickly, and if we want to fight, it still depends on our military army." ”

All around is the sound of welcoming horses, Liu Mingdeng laughed arrogantly, even if Liu Mingchuan was divided into half of the elite soldiers, the eight thousand Jianwu Army under his direct jurisdiction after four months of training, the Jianwu Army regained its combat effectiveness, with this army in hand, no matter how strong the Japanese army can not take advantage, the Jianwu Army is no longer afraid of the Japanese army with the spirit of bushido, although the Japanese army that fought to the last moment of life is worthy of admiration, but the victory belongs to the glorious Jianwu Army.

Liu Mingdeng rushed to the front line, continued to command the battle, wanted to clear the Beidong army in the shortest possible time, the powerful artillery position advanced, hundreds of cannons pointed directly at the armor set fortress, although the Beidong army occupies the natural danger, but this advantage, in the face of powerful artillery, vulnerable to a blow, Jianwu Army has the confidence to destroy the Beidong army's firepower network, want to eliminate the main force of the Beidong army in one fell swoop.

Liu Mingdeng, as the supreme commander, went to the front line in person, and immediately greeted bursts of cheers, the morale of the soldiers of the Jianwu Army was high, and each soldier had a "dirt bag", which was used to fill the trenches, and the Jianwu Army was fully prepared and planned every step of the battle.

The Beidong army dug a long trench in the armor, about two zhang deep, more than four zhang wide, and set up many fortress cards at the dangerous place, and the Japanese army village fort at Paijiaya was the horn of each other, trying to use this line of defense to block the pace of the Qing army's advance.

The biggest reliance of the Beidong Army is that with the support of the Japanese artillery, the Beidong Army dares to stick to the armor and set the defensive line, but the Japanese artillery squadron is completely annihilated, which does not make the "Prince of Beidong" Luo Shijie frightened.

When did Liu Mingdeng's Jianwu army become so powerful.

The Beidong Army has fought several battles in the Jianwu Army in the past, and the two sides have won and lost each other, the combat effectiveness of the Jianwu Army suddenly became strong, Luo Shijie looked at the blockade line composed of artillery fire, and the Beidong Army that rushed through the blockade line was blown to pieces, and the 1,000 Beidong Army supporting the front line soon retreated, and Luo Shijie had a sense of the coming disaster.

The fortresses made of huge rocks were destroyed one by one under the powerful artillery fire, and the proud defense line of the Beidong Army was vulnerable, and the tragic shelling made several commanders in the watchtower tremble.

According to the military law, the officers of the Beidong Army who fled back must be executed, but the reality is that Luo Shijie is still saying good words to appease the officers who have fled back, if the officers who flee back are executed, the officers and soldiers of the front battalion of the Beidong Army will surrender to the Qing army, so the harsh military law cannot be taken seriously, the defeat is already doomed, why bother to find guilt yourself.

Luo Shijie forgot his oath to the Japanese army Osakata Takeoka, turned to look at the four flag commanders under him, and said: "What do you think we should do, this battle is still not fought." ”

"Flag Chief" Luo Shidai just fled back from the front line, his clothes were burned into holes, he is Luo Shijie's brother, he fought quite strongly, and he has made many achievements, so Luo Shijie gave him half of his troops, but this time Luo Shidai was completely stunned by the artillery fire of the Qing army, and there was no trace of the Qing army, and the troops had been disabled.

Luo Shidai's scorched thin face, panicked, his black eyes showed timidity, and he was the first to speak: "Premier Luo, I think we should withdraw, today's Liu Mingdeng is no longer like three months ago, the enemy has become wealthy, there is no shortage of grain and grass, the combat effectiveness has become extremely strong, the Qing Dynasty is very thick, the first round of artillery, you have not experienced it, the Japanese artillery position only opened three or four cannons, and was all dumb by the enemy's shells, the artillery squadron boasted by Shao Zuozi Sanbei, Vulnerable in front of the enemy, and when the enemy pushes the artillery battalion to the forward position, the elite soldiers of the Beidong Army are afraid that all of them will die here. ”

Luo Shijie also thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say that, but asked another "flag commander" Kang Jiadao, this is his father-in-law, who enjoys high prestige in the Beidong Army.

Kang Jiadao said unhurriedly: "Premier Luo, we must not retreat, if we retreat, the enemy will cross the Jade Mountain, the Pingtung Plain will lose the barrier to the north, we can't even keep our hometown, if we lose the Pingtung Plain, we can only retreat to the hinterland of Guishan, then the enemy does not have to attack us, and we will starve to death in the mountains, those Paiwan people hate to eat our flesh, even if we stick to Guishan and do not need to be attacked by the Qing army, we are destined to be defeated by the Paiwan people, not to the point of last resort, Or don't join forces with the Japanese army. ”

Luo Shijie was uncomfortable when he heard it, but his forbearance was good, and he asked in the same tone: "Chief Kang Qi, then what should you do?" ”

Kang Jiadao glanced at the other flag commanders, and said: "This is the time to test the unity of our Beidong Army, in my opinion, only close to the battle, night battle, to redeem the disadvantage, while the enemy's foothold is not stable, ammunition supply has not yet kept up, we sneak attack the enemy's position at night, blow up the enemy's artillery position, so as to hold the armor set." ”

Luo Shidai sighed: "My son-in-law can no longer fight, Chief Kang Qi, although your plan is good, I can't do anything." ”

Luo Shijie glared at Luo Shidai fiercely, and asked humbly: "Commander Kang, then you said how many men and horses are needed to sneak attack the enemy's artillery position at night." ”

Kang Jiadao stretched out a palm and said obligedly: "Prime Minister Yuluo, as long as you give me another 500 elite soldiers, I will give up my life and destroy the enemy's artillery position, and if I don't succeed, I will become a benevolent." ”

Luo Shijie was quite moved, and said with his head bowed: "Okay, it's decided, Commander Kang is worthy of the soul of our Beidong Army." ”

Luo Shidai sneered, leaving the watchtower, he also had to appease the more than 500 Beidong troops who fled back, he didn't want to listen to Luo Shijie's military deployment, Liu Mingdeng arranged it so carefully, how could it be easy for people to put the artillery position at the end, Kang Jiadao was wishful thinking, the strategy of sneaking up on the enemy's artillery position at night sounded like a mess with a hot brain, and I don't know what Luo Shijie thought, he actually let thousands of Beidong soldiers leave the fortifications and rush out to die.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Beidong Army on the battlefield refused to fight hard, and were willing to raise their hands to surrender to the Qing army, which has made Luo Shidai see that the army is not in his heart, although Luo Shijie did not punish him, but the means of the king of Beidong Luo Yixin, has made him feel cold, and the loss of 1500 Beidong soldiers is a big crime, all of which he has to bear alone, and suddenly Luo Shidai understands that he must not die well, and it is a dead end to escape back, in order to explain to the people of Beidong, he can only calm the anger of the people of Beidong by dying.

Luo Shijie's kind words to appease the officers who fled back were just a trick to deceive, and the other three flag commanders looked at him with eyes, clearly looking at a dead man, and Luo Shidai had a rebellious heart for the first time.

Luo Shidai is a ruthless character, regardless of the safety of his relatives, the figures of his parents, wife and children flashed in his mind, and he was immediately erased by a raging anger.

Jedi survival, is human instinct, Luo Shidai hesitated for a moment, has made up his mind, decided to revolt on the battlefield, he is Luo Yixin's immediate family, if he is captured by the Qing army, there is only a dead end, but the orthodox bloodline, so that he is very likely to inherit the position of "Beidong Tusi", at this time to take refuge in Liu Mingdeng, there is still a glimmer of life, under Li Guolou's lenient national policy, he is not the "big savior" of the people of Beidong, there is every reason to inherit the post of "Beidong Tusi".

Luo Shidai's hideous black face smiled, revealing a vicious grin, and shouted: "Urgently assemble." ”
