For Hu Xingren's recovery of Jiande, He Guiqing was happy, although Hu Xingren made a war exploit, and he wanted to take advantage of this war to win his own seal, but as soon as he heard that the monk and Shengbao led the troops into Zhejiang, his face suddenly became iron-blue, and he couldn't even hold the teacup steadily, and when the person who reported the news left, He Guiqing only had four words: "A catastrophe is coming!" ”

"It's not just a catastrophe coming, we are the culprits!" Wang Youling was also shocked: "This thing is difficult to do!" ”

Whether it is the monk king or the victory guarantee, these two people who lead troops into Zhejiang will definitely have the name of Qincha, so that He Guiqing, the governor of Zhejiang, will be completely useless, and may even become the chicken that kills the chicken to show the monkey!

"How can this be done?" He Guiqing, as an extremely smart person, naturally cherishes his net worth and life, and he asked first: "Now the monk king and Shengbao are with the Mongolian and Heilongjiang horse teams, I'm afraid ...... I'm afraid ......"

He clearly knew that the army of the monk king and Shengbao was originally intended to be used to encircle and suppress the two Huai bandits, and the situation of the bandits was like wildfire, and it had reached the point of being out of control, and it might even threaten the north, so under normal circumstances, this army would only stop in the north.

But now He Guiqing is doing too badly in Zhejiang, so he has no choice but to ask the central center to urgently transfer this general reserve to Jiangnan to keep the source of wages in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and He Guiqing himself is the first culprit: "I am a great crime, but I am a great crime, maybe there is a way to live!" ”

"What's the way out?" Wang Youling is also concerned about this issue: "Zhongcheng, now it has reached a life-and-death juncture!" ”

"Defeat must be defeated!" He Guiqing immediately said: "Since the defeat is coming, let him go to Yanzhou Mansion, go to Quzhou Mansion, and rescue Deng Shaoliang and Li Yuandu!" ”

Now he directly picked out the word "defeated", which is the nickname of Shengbao, he fought with the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Army, and has always won less and lost more, and was respectfully called "defeated" at the time. The Taiping army also had a good impression of this Shengbao, who often followed the gifts, and even wrote a sign on the road to welcome the Qing army who followed up: "Shengbao is free of gifts".

"The monk king has rules and regulations for fighting, and it is better than defeat!" Wang Youling immediately said: "But the person who lost the insurance has always advocated that the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road, and if he wins, it will be an unprecedented victory!" ”

"Hmm!" He Guiqing has already said: "That's why I let the defeat go, and now in this situation, I can't save the situation without a big defeat!" ”

Wang Youling is concerned about another question: "Zhongcheng." You have so much confidence in Liu Jiehu, this is the joint name of the monk king and the two adults Shengbao, our famous generals of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the remaining few can be used! ”

Although Katsubo is called "Defeat", among the Manchurians, he can be regarded as able to fight. And there is really a bit of bravery, when fighting the Northern Expeditionary Army, Tianjin Yong because it is a tofu soldier, no one dares to take it, Shengbao dares to take the Tianjin soldiers out of the battle, as a result, 1,600 Tianjin Yong did not fire a shot and made a bang, and directly threw Shengbao and a few other personal soldiers in the position, but Shengbao still did not have much fear in the face of this kind of scene. But that's where his skills are limited. If he really gets his brute on the right side, it's an avalanche-like ending, but most of the time, the opponent is much smarter than Katsuho.

Therefore, He Guiqing wanted Shengbao to go south and made a great achievement, but Wang Youling said: "In this way, I am afraid that there are as many as 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers in the battle of Yan Qu, and no matter how many red thieves there are, there are more than 10,000, if our army wins." The situation in Zhejiang certainly looks good. You and I are in trouble! ”

"At this time, if there is a glimmer of life, we must fight for a glimmer of life!" He Guiqing thought very clearly: "In addition to fighting a way out." There is no other way to think of it! ”…,

In fact, this is not a way to survive, but how to pit a way out!

Now the question is how to get the Shengbao pit in!

……

"Lao Lin, are we too risky?" A few officers asked a little hesitantly: "Our little strength is not enough to defend Shouchang County, and we still have to be ready to take the initiative to attack?" ”

Lin Mengchu, the leader of the regiment who surrendered when he was in Taizhou, has become shrewd and capable because of several months of experience, and he said without hesitation: "We can only attack instead of defending, otherwise, with our three hundred troops, in the face of more than ten times the Qing demon, there is absolutely no chance of victory, only by attacking can there be a glimmer of life!" ”

When he said this, the group of officers of the teaching regiment could accept it, but many people were complaining that the commander of the Bao battalion had transferred the command to Lin Mengchu: "Originally, with the equipment of our battalion, why should we fight to such an embarrassing point, and the battle to defend the city is not unfought, Feng Sixian, who was defending Huangyan City, had so many troops, and he held it if he was determined!" ”

"That is, there is at least one reinforced company in Tonglu County, which is what the brigade commander has confessed, and the battalion commander is all in the ears!"

"A reinforced battalion is not enough, the main force of our battalion is placed in Tonglu County, and it can definitely be defended!"

"That's it, and if the main force of the battalion sticks to Jiande County, it doesn't have to be lost at both ends!"

Everyone's complaints reached Lin Mengchu's ears, and he couldn't blame anything: "This is all over, the important thing is to hold Shouchang County, as long as the main force comes up, we can counterattack back, there are not many good troops like us who can fight a retreat battle!" ”

This sentence ignited the enthusiasm in the hearts of the officers, and it was not easy to break through in the encirclement of thousands of Qing troops, so an officer said: "In the past, it was said that the third-class troops could defend, the second-class troops could attack, and the first-class troops could fight a retreat battle. ”

Lin Mengchu also said: "Yes! Although there are only 300 people left now, but to have this morale, it is definitely a top army, we are just a little defeated, and we can take revenge when we turn back! ”

Although the battle was defeated, the 2nd Battalion of the Teaching Regiment was, after all, an old unit with a strong work style, and in the face of such setbacks, it had the momentum of becoming more and more courageous, and sometimes, the best troops were tempered in the rest of their lives.

As he was talking, good news had already been reported behind him: "The main force is up, the main force is up!" ”

As soon as they heard that the main force was coming, the remaining officers and men of the 2nd Battalion of the Teaching Regiment all cried, and the strength they showed in front of the enemy was gone, and their hearts became very soft.

Huo Qiu rode up with Bao Meiying, and he asked, "Where is the acting battalion commander?" Where is the acting battalion commander? ”

"I'm Lin Mengchu!" Lin Mengchu stood up: "Our battalion was besieged by 6,000 enemy troops, and after 14 hours of transfer to Shouchang County, although there were some setbacks during this period, the officers and soldiers of the whole battalion were united as one and maintained their fighting spirit unwaveringly, and now the whole battalion has 321 personnel in addition to the wounded and sick, and they resolutely obey the command of Brigade Commander Huo!" ”

Huo Qiu was relieved a lot, Shouchang City was not lost, although the main force of the second battalion suffered large losses, but the backbone still existed: "Very good!" If you can withdraw, it means that you are a good first-class army, but you still need to continue to work hard to counterattack Yanzhou next! ”

"Resolutely obey orders!" The officers of the 2nd Battalion behaved softly, they cried quietly, and some people said: "The 2nd Battalion withdrew with all its best efforts!" ”

Huo Qiu was also in dire need of any troops that could be put into battle, his entire Nanxi brigade originally had 3,500 men, but now the large force that arrived in Shouchang was only 3,100, and some non-combat units and wounded were left in Quzhou Mansion to guard Li Yuandu's 4,000 or so prisoners of the Anyue army. …,

In addition, he also has 300 cavalry under the command of Bao Meiying, which adds up to only 3,400, and the Qing army in Jiande City has at least 5,000. ”

"Contained!" Lin Mengchu replied: "Our battalion is willing to serve as the vanguard battalion attacking Jiande, Jiande was lost by our battalion, and it should be taken back by our battalion!" ”

Huo Qiu didn't think so, after all, this was the unit of the Dragon Lance Brigade, although he had been ordered to be assigned to his command, but his sense of honor made him try his best to preserve the remaining strength of this unit: "You will serve as the reserve of the entire Jiande battle next, and the main force of the Qing Demon can be in Jiande?" ”

"It's very clear, it's still in Jiande for the time being, and the intelligence reported back by the scouts I sent has made this clear!"

"Good!" Huo Qiu had already said loudly to the officers and soldiers of the Second Brigade: "The previous battle of simply annihilating Li Yuandu's Anyue Army proves that our Nanxi Brigade is the top and best unit of the entire Hong Army, and the next battle is different from the battle of annihilating Li Yuandu!" ”

"Li Yuandu's Anyue military fortifications were hastily completed, the vigilance was lax, almost defenseless, it can be said that it was a flock of sheep, but now the Qing Demon who is guarding Jiande County, there are five or six thousand troops, which is more than my brigade, and I have a small setback to teach the second regiment of friendly troops, morale is flourishing, and I can rely on Jiande County for defense, but as the brigade commander of the entire calculation method, I must say that we have the confidence to take it!"

"In this battle, we must have confidence, determination, and perseverance!"

The officers all listened quietly to Huo Qiu's words: "What is confidence, it is the absolute confidence to defeat the Qing Demon, Zhang Yuliang is our defeated general, Hu Xingren is just a group of recruits, since the formation of our brigade, hundreds of battles, good news is frequent!" We are confident that we will completely annihilate this group of Qing demons, even if they are cowering in Jiande County! ”

"What is determination, that is, the determination to sacrifice, the Qing Demon is very strong, we are stronger, we must love the officers and soldiers, and we must not hesitate to kill or die, act resolutely, never drag the mud and water, and take down this Qing Demon!"

"What is perseverance! That is, we must not be anxious, not in a hurry, have rules and laws, be organized, and follow the essence of practice that we have condensed in all battles and battles, and force this group of demons to death and to a dead end step by step! ”

Huo Qiu said very simply: "Victory belongs to our Nanxi Brigade!" ”
