The three explosion points within a range of 500 meters exploded almost simultaneously, and the special train broke like a toy, threw up, and instantly rushed off the tracks, and more than ten carriages broke into several cars in the tumbling.

In the billowing smoke, hundreds of cavalry roared, gunfire, grenade explosions immediately rang out, looking at the scene in front of him, Guan Baishan showed a smile on his face, this is definitely a perfect ambush.

It didn't take long for the gunfire and explosions to cease, and in the face of well-planned explosions and skillful tactics, the surviving officers and men on the special train were annihilated before they could organize an effective defense.

Although the carriages of the special train are specially made to effectively resist the shooting of bullets, the window glass is a fatal weakness, because no bulletproof glass has been developed, the windows are equipped with a laminated, and there is a layer of steel plate behind the glass, but in the case of the overturning of the special train, those sandwich steel plates have been deformed and cannot be closed at all, which leads to a one-sided massacre.

"Report, all carriages have been searched and no targets have been found! After interrogation, it was found that the special train was loaded with ...... from the Hami Military Division. Battalion commander Fan Dabiao reported loudly.

Didn't find a target? Guan Baishan's face instantly became gloomy, the target was not on the special train, could it be on the train in front? "Have you been interrogated carefully?"

"Yes." Fan Dabiao said in a muffled voice: "Several officers have been killed, and the others don't know what the situation is. ”

After a little groaning, Guan Baishan ordered in a deep voice, "Chase!" Catch up! So saying, he turned the horse's head and whipped the horse.

Galloping all the way, Guan Baishan's mood was extremely heavy, and Yi Zhixin was not on the special train, there were only two possibilities, one was on the train in front, and the other could be in Hami, which was simply a temptation.

In fact, he vaguely guessed that the latter might be greater, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart, if he couldn't kill Yi Zhixiang in one fell swoop, this matter would be a big deal!

The train moving forward was not far from the place where the special train happened, but more than ten kilometers, a faint explosion came, feeling the vibration of the train, Song Zhihuan's face became a little pale, originally he secretly laughed at those big people who were afraid of death, but he didn't expect that there were really people who dared to ambush the special train, fortunately he followed the advice and did not take the special train, otherwise he would have become a substitute for the dead at this time.

Who could ambush a special train with such a tight defense? Song Zhihuan reacted quickly, and his face instantly turned extremely pale.

There are troops patrolling and guarding along the railway line from Hami to Gongning, and it is simply impossible to attack the special train without alarming the vigilant troops along the way, there is only one possibility, the attack on the special train itself is the unit responsible for patrolling and alerting!

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a chill behind his back, this was a deliberate rebellion! Reacting to this, he immediately ordered, "Stop!" ”

The train was not fast, but it soon stopped, and Song Zhihuan then ordered, "Prepare for battle!" With that, he quickly rolled onto the roof of the car and raised his binoculars to look backwards.

It didn't take long for the smoke and dust to be billowing from the rear, hundreds of cavalry were rolling in, and when they saw the other party's uniform, the only bit of luck left in Song Zhihuan's heart was gone, and he gave an expression of the order, "Machine gun warning!" ”

The dull sound of machine guns rang out immediately, and the two heavy machine guns mounted on the roof of the carriage turned their muzzles to warn.

Listening to the characteristic sound of heavy machine guns, Guan Baishan, who led hundreds of horsemen galloping, immediately reined in his horse and raised his hand to order, "Stop advancing." ”

It was clear to all the officers and men that in front of two heavy machine guns, this was not enough for the cavalry to even plug their teeth.

"Mortar preparation." Guan Baishan ordered in a deep voice, and then ordered: "Fan Dabiao, go and negotiate with them to see if the target is on the train." ”

Fan Dabiao, who Song Zhihuan recognized, scolded as soon as he saw the other party coming: "You have eaten the gall of the bear's heart and leopard, and you dare to ambush the special train of the king of Zhennan!" ”

Knowing that the other party was tempting, Fan Dabiao had no intention of denying it, because he couldn't do it, so he said: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and we are also acting on orders, and there are other people who are bold." As he spoke, he asked without hesitation: "Is King Zhennan in the car?" ”

Song Zhihuan looked at him coldly, "What about the casualties?" ”

There was no living mouth left on the special train, but Fan Dabiao didn't dare to say it directly, so he only said vaguely: "The casualties are not big, they are all caused by overturning, and they found out that they were their own brothers, and they didn't resist much, and when we found that the target was not there, we chased ...... directly." ”

Hearing that the casualties were not large, Song Zhihuan finally put his mind at ease and teased: "If the king of Zhennan is in the car, he can use my Hami military division to protect him?" The king of Zhennan was in Hami and didn't come at all. ”

This is not unreasonable, but Fan Dabiao didn't dare to believe it easily, "The stakes are very high, and we have to conduct a search." ”

Ambushing the special train and assassinating the king of Zhennan, this is a big deal, Song Zhihuan naturally does not want to get involved, and he also knows that if he refuses, the other party will definitely not give up, and if he doesn't want to kill each other, he can only agree, he immediately said cheerfully: "It's okay to search, but you can only send one company." ”

As a result of the search, Yi Zhishan was really not in the car, Guan Baishan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and he failed to assassinate Yi Zhicontent in one fell swoop, which was tantamount to a big trouble for the two northwest provinces!

Gong Ning, building of the military district headquarters.

"Bang", Commander Tang Bingcan's face was full of anger, and he slapped it on the table hard, and the teacups on the table jumped up, "What about Zhu Shanhai?" Let Zhu Shanhai come to see me immediately. ”

"Deputy Commander Zhu should be in the Governor's Mansion at this time." Chief of Staff Qiu Qing Huang said in a deep voice: "Not surprisingly, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are afraid that they have been placed under house arrest by this Fang at this time. ”

Tang Bingcan was stunned, "The Qing Dynasty has established a constitution, and he still plans to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes fail?" ”

"Of course it is impossible to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." Qiu Qinghuang said unhurriedly: "I think this fang should be trying to establish itself in the two northwestern provinces, and the queen mother and the emperor are a good bargaining chip." ”

"I really underestimated this guy." Tang Bingcan gritted his teeth and said: "However, the prince has not been assassinated, he is still in Hami, and his wishful thinking is afraid that it will not work." ”

"Day and night, it is difficult to prevent thieves." Qiu Qing Huang sighed lightly: "Who would have thought that this fang would be so frustrated. ”

"The top priority is to think of ways to protect the safety of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Tang Bingcan said: "Let Zuo Butang send someone to test it to see if the empress dowager and the emperor are under house arrest." As he spoke, he pressed the phone and shook it.

Qiu Qinghuang said softly: "This matter, I must report it to Feng Zhitai." ”

Gongning City, near the Governor's Palace, the Governor's temporary office compound.

Qin Youliang, the commander of the Armed Police Corps, had an angry look on his face, and hurriedly walked into the room, Zuo Zongtang, who was dealing with official business, glanced at him, frowned and said, "Who is this angry about?" ”

After a military salute, Qin Youliang said: "My lord, Zhu Shanhai, deputy commander of the military region, sent troops to forcibly take over the internal and external defense ....... of the Governor's Palace. ”

Zuo Zongtang was stunned when he heard this, "Who gave the order?" ”

"It is said that it is on the order of the Queen Mother." Qin Youliang said in a muffled voice.

"Tick Ring" The crisp phone rang, and the staff member Li Yunlin hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the microphone, and then said in astonishment: "What? The two people who saw it looked over, and he hurriedly said: "It's Commander Tang of the Military Region, and the prince's special train was ambushed not far from Turpan....... ”

An ambush on a contented train? Zuo Zongtang's face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly got up and took the microphone, and when he heard that Yi Zhizhi was not on the special train, he relieved himself, put down the phone, he groaned for a while, and then spoke: "For the reason that the special train was ......attacked, let the police station Chu Hongzhi go to the governor's palace to meet on the grounds of deploying a vigilance, and pay attention to observe whether the queen mother and the emperor are under house arrest ........" ”

"Obedience." Qin Youliang hurriedly replied aloud, then turned around and left quickly.

"Your Excellency." Li Yunlin reminded softly: "Shouldn't you go to the military region to find out the detailed situation..... ”

What to know the details, it is nothing more than to let him go to the military region to take refuge for a while, Zuo Zongtang pondered for a while, and then said: "No, strengthen your vigilance." ”

Ansi, Kokand, Governor's Palace.

Putting down the phone, Feng Renxuan's mind was blank, he didn't expect that the development of the situation would take such a sharp turn, and the Northwest Army Department dared to openly ambush the contented special train at the risk of the world, which was tantamount to kidnapping the entire Northwest Army!

Thinking of the Andijan assassin who suddenly appeared before Gong Ningcheng, it was clear that the other party had no intention of letting Anxi go from the beginning! What does the other person want to do? The two northwestern provinces are self-reliant?

"Your Excellency." Zheng Yingguan, the governor of Anxi, walked in with an anxious face, "Turpan is calling, the prince's special train has been ambushed........" ”

Feng Renxuan was stunned when he heard it, "Turpan's telegram? ”

Zheng Yingguan noticed that his expression was wrong, "Your Excellency already knows?" Is this really not possible? ”

"Tang Bingcan's call should be true." Feng Renxuan frowned as he spoke, "Who got the telegram from Turpan?" ”

"Turpan Zhili Hall." Zheng Yingguan said, hesitated, and then continued: "Not only the Futai Yamen, but also several other yamen have also received telegram ........ ”

This kind of thing, it stands to reason that they will do everything possible to block the news and try not to spread the news, but he, the governor, has just received the news, but it is already full of turmoil, Feng Renxuan sighed lightly, "This is deliberately arranged, the purpose is to create panic." ”

Zheng Yingguan said with concern: "The telegram only said that the prince's special train was attacked, and the prince .......?" ”

"The prince is still in Hami, and he didn't take the special train." Feng Renxuan said: "Clarify the rumors as soon as possible." ”

Hearing that Yi Zhixiang was not assassinated, Zheng Yingguan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if Yi Zhixiang was assassinated in the northwest, Yuan Qi would inevitably devote all his crusade to the northwest, and the northwest would inevitably end up with a catastrophe, and the first to bear the brunt would be the military and political officials in the northwest.
