Chapter 330: Frustration

Liu Chang's headquarters was located at the junction of Quzhou and Jinhua, and Liu Chang originally wanted to advance the headquarters, but Zhou Xiu Yuying and other officers agreed that it would be too dangerous to advance further, and at least two cavalry companies and two infantry companies would be required to escort them, and Liu Chang was unwilling to occupy too many troops, so he made some concessions.

But even so, because Xi'an County, the capital county of Quzhou, is not far from the junction of Jinhua and Quzhou, Liu Chang's headquarters is still very high, and the reports of various troops can be transmitted to Liu Chang's men as soon as possible.

There is only one cavalry company and a guard platoon in the headquarters to escort them, and the guard force is very weak, Zhou Xiu Xiaoying still suggested that the headquarters retreat a little more: "Checkpoint, this is already in Quzhou, Tuanyong has not yet been cleared, you have to be careful!" ”

"If you take Quzhou, this Yanqu battle can be regarded as a victory!" Liu Chang replied to Zhou Xiuyuying: "I don't know how the battle went!" ”

Zhou Xiuyuying remembered Bao Meiying: "Meiying is also officially on the battlefield for the first time, I don't know how to behave?" She's such a seedling! ”

Thinking that the two of them let out a long sigh, Shi Tinglan and Yang Changmei walked over, and Zhou Xiuyuying immediately retreated unceremoniously, and left without saying hello.

In the past few months, there have been many large and small conflicts between the two sides, and there is no topic worth exchanging between them, but Liu Chang asked her to stay: "Commander Zhou, don't be in a hurry to leave, I'm worried about Yanzhou Mansion, there is only one of our reinforced battalions stationed there, how can there be any problems with you!" ”

"Then I'll move a cavalry company over!" Zhou Xiu Yuying replied: "At most two cavalry companies, there are not too many mobile troops now!" ”

"I knew I brought the Rock Brigade here!" Liu Chang now found that although two infantry brigades were dispatched this time, plus the Jinhua Independent Regiment and several independent battalions, the time to really mobilize the troops was still not enough: "And... The Rock Brigade has to keep ......"

Over there, Zhou Xiu Yuying said unceremoniously: "Inspector, haven't you been talking about building a general reserve, why don't you take this opportunity to do it!" ”

Liu Chang had the idea of setting up a general reserve, and if there was at least one general reserve for the campaign, there would not be no soldiers available at hand now, so he responded: "It's to prepare to start!" By the way, eldest sister, Tinglan, what's the matter with you? ”

"It's not important, I just heard that my brother is coming!" Shi Tinglan replied: "When your sister-in-law goes to see my brother, do you want to bring a personal gift?" ”

"The Winged King is here?" Liu Chang asked, "It's so fast!" ”

Yang Changmei responded: "Yes, it came so quickly, but I really want to be in the Wing Palace, among the several princes of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Wing King is humane!" ”

Sometimes, the Winged King Shi Dakai behaves like a mortal, but this is also the reason why he loves the soldiers and civilians of the Heavenly Kingdom the most, Liu Chang smiled: "I will prepare a big gift for him, the light fire medicine is a thousand barrels, all of which are Western granular fire medicine, in addition, there are countless foreign guns and cannons, I only make a lot of money, this gift is heavy enough!" ”

Although it costs a lot of money to travel by land like this, for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this kind of transit is what they need the most, but Shi Tinglan said: "My brother wants a personal gift!" ”

"What does your brother like? Except for women, I deserve to give it to your brother! Liu Chang replied: "It's better to be the standard equipment of our battalion first-class officers, binoculars, pocket watches and revolver guns." ”

"That's fine!" Shi Tinglan replied: "But in this case, it's better to prepare a few more copies, my brother also has face!" ”…,

"Hmmm! Fifty servings of each! Liu Chang agreed: "I can't be stingy!" ”

Hand guns, binoculars, and pocket watches are all luxury goods in this era, and the three add up to almost 1,000 silver yuan, and Liu Chang purchased a lot of them, although the price is much lower, but others can't get such a favorable price, which is almost a meeting gift of 50,000 silver yuan, and he can get it.

It's just that Liu Chang is talking to them, Zhou Xiu Yuying doesn't look around, there is Mars hidden in the eyes of both sides, but the latest information has come over there: "Check, Yanzhou is in a hurry!" ”

"I know that Hu Xingren came out of Hangzhou to rescue his two righteous brothers, but I didn't expect Yanzhou to be so poorly deployed, this is the Dragon Gun Battalion!" Liu Chang smiled bitterly: "I guess I suffered a big loss!" ”

As Liu Chang thought, Yanzhou came from a mixed group of Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang, with a strength of five or six thousand people, and as a result, a reinforced platoon guarding Tonglu County could not support it, and the commander of the second infantry regiment led two infantry companies, battalion artillery companies, and most of the directly subordinate teams to Tonglu County to rescue in view of the experience of previous public security operations.

But I didn't expect Zhang Yuliang to win first, and he had already taken the opportunity of the main force of the Rainbow Army to break into Jiande County, and the two sides fell into a melee, and the establishment was chaotic for a while.

It's just that Jiande County has been lost, and now the main force of the Bao battalion that retreats to Shouchang County can continue to participate in the combat of less than 300 people, and even the commander of the Bao battalion has been seriously wounded, and the commander of the Bao battalion wrote in the letter: "The command of the subordinate officer is clumsy, two artillery pieces were abandoned in the battle, more than 40 wounded, the remains of the war dead have not been recovered, and the crime is known to be serious. ”

"Nonsense!" Liu Chang could see the problem at a glance: "Tonglu County is such an important point, why only send a reinforced platoon to garrison, and how did Zhu Dun lead the troops?" He can't escape responsibility for this problem! Hey......"

Over there, Zhou Xiuyuying asked: "Two cavalry companies don't seem to be able to solve the problem, it's better to transfer an infantry battalion up!" ”

Liu Chang was already looking at the battle map, and said to Zhou Xiuyuying: "Let me see, the Dragon Lance Brigade and the Teaching Regiment are the first time to suffer such a big loss!" How did Juton lead the troops? I'll see which battalion can be called out! ”

Speaking of which, in addition to the Jinhua Independent Regiment, there are several independent battalions participating in the battle, but the combat effectiveness of these independent battalions is limited, and they are now all responsible for the task of guarding the rear occupied areas.

It's just that Liu Chang was thinking about it, and another report came over there: "Brigade Commander Huo Qiuhuo's report has found that the main force of the enemy's Anyue army is 6,000 people stationed on the front line of Xiyangping, the camp is sloppy, the fortifications are hastily formed, the army is uncertain, and the vigilance is lax, and it is vulnerable. ”

"Good!" Liu Chang was refreshed when he heard the news: "Not bad! Inform Huo Qiu that if Li Xuyuan's An Yue army is successfully resolved, and the Yanzhou Mansion is immediately returned to the aid of Yanzhou, the enemy Hu Xingren and Zhang Yuliang's troops are solved, and the rise and fall of the country will be entrusted to General Huo and General Yun! Commander Zhou, you go through it in person and inform Brigade Commander Huo for me! ”

If the Nanxi Brigade successfully destroys Li Xuyuan's Anyue Army, then the entire Nanxi Brigade of 3,500 troops can be liberated, so Liu Chang's arrangement is very reasonable, but Zhou Xiuyuying over there asked: "What if Brigade Commander Huo's attack fails?" ”…,

"What do you say!" Liu Chang said unceremoniously: "The Nanxi Brigade and the Dragon Lance Brigade have been seriously defeated, and our army is under the fortified city, and the enemy is on the back of the enemy, so we can only retreat!" ”

He had to admit that if Huo Qiu's plan to risk attacking Li Yuyuan's Anyue army failed, then he could only abandon the plan for the Battle of Yanqu and withdraw to the base area

He was still young, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, and there were still six mansions, and a setback was not enough to affect his plan, and he could still hold on.

Zhou Xiu Yuying has already understood: "I'll leave now!" ”

It's just that news came from outside the dragon spear brigade: "The dragon spear brigade annihilated more than 800 enemies in Quzhou yesterday and this morning, but the second battalion of the first regiment suffered quite a lot of casualties in the trial attack battle, and although it lost 110 men, there was still no great progress!" ”

Liu Chang couldn't help but aggravate his tone: "You told Brigade Commander Huo that it is a matter of great importance to return to Yanzhou Mansion, and the success or failure of the country depends on the hands of the two generals!" ”

He said to the herald of the Dragon Lance Brigade: "Go back and tell Brigade Commander Jutun that he will also take responsibility for the problem of Yanzhou's setback, and let him take the troops well!" ”

"Let me take the troops well!"

When Zhu Dun heard this, he couldn't help but be a little angry: "Our brigade annihilated more than 800 enemies on the outskirts of Quzhou, and only suffered 200 casualties. ”

The herald over there replied: "The Yanzhou Mansion has suffered a setback, and the inspection point said, Tonglu County is such a key point, why only send a reinforced platoon to garrison?" Brigade Commander Zhu must earnestly shoulder his responsibilities! ”

"Hey......" Now Juton was anxious: "What's the matter?" Tonglu County only put a reinforced platoon, what is the matter with Lao Bao, I clearly said that the main force of the whole battalion should be placed on the road from Hangzhou to Quzhou, and at least one reinforced company should be used, referring to Tonglu County, what kind of fame is he doing! ”

It's just that when he learned that the second battalion of the teaching regiment had lost the two county towns of Tonglu and Jiande, and had now retreated to Shouchang, he immediately asked: "Damn, damn, transfer a main battalion from the dragon spear regiment to support Yanzhou Mansion, now there are three infantry regiments in Quzhou City, and the 5,000 troops of Deng Shaoliang are enough!" ”

But soon worse news came: "The inspection has handed over this task to Brigade Commander Huo of the Second Brigade, and it is said that Brigade Commander Huo lost no time in launching an attack on Li Xuyuan's department, and if it goes well, it is expected that all the battles will be resolved today!" ”

This was the biggest setback in Juton's life for more than 30 years.

How did he bring the troops? He blamed himself.

PS: I walked three kilometers to move an overweight computer, and my hands ran out of strength, so I only had two shifts today, but I still asked for a monthly pass first
