The addition of the first battalion made Chen Mingzheng overjoyed, but the combat power shown by the first battalion made his heart gloomy for a while. The elite of the army really didn't blow it out, it was also facing the same enemy in front of it, the first battalion sent out less than 10,000 people, but it relied on the three-three tactics and sharp rifles and grenades in their hands to quickly empty the money army that broke into the position of the marines and then hit out in a wave along the pace of the other party, and then the thing that made all the marines staring at it happened, the first battalion almost didn't stop for a moment after beating the other party out, and began to counterattack the other party, 33 tactics: During the attack, each group of soldiers almost pulled the straggler line one after another, like the waves of the waves, cutting all the prominent fronts of the Qian army, and then hitting the opponent's large array. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and every link was like a precise machine gear, which made all the Marines feel a deep sense of shame after being surprised. The first battalion of less than 10,000 people rushed into their own formation, and even after the close combat relied on the numerical advantage to gain the upper hand of the enemy, chopping melons and vegetables to the ground, and then went out against the trend, relying on tactics and their own strong combat power to suppress the opponent's superior number of charges, seeing that the situation in front of him was forced by the first battalion to play a wave of offensive, Chen Mingzheng immediately led the Marine Corps to help, relying on the combat power of the first battalion as the front, After the Marines successfully pressed up, they began to expand their advantage, and the entire battle situation began to change rapidly in the direction of the Tiance Army.

At this time, the main force of the first battalion had also detoured back to the rear of the Qian army and opened up the second battlefield. Bao Junfu, who originally felt a trace of danger because the front line was inexplicably beaten back by the first battalion, began to gather troops to prepare for retreat as soon as he learned that his rear army was disrupted by the other party's division of troops.

Bao Junfu's decisive action almost stunned Chen Yu, who was standing aside to command, he had never seen such a force, and the first thing he thought of after his side had just had a disadvantage was not to concentrate his forces for a counter-assault, but to retreat as quickly as possible. However, although Bao Junfu's actions made Chen Yu look down on him, he deployed the retreat in a very timely manner, and as of the convergence of the troops around the first battalion, Bao Junfu simply relied on his own actions to withdraw most of the troops towards Phoenix.

"What is the name of the other party's commander? This battle made him fight like a fist into the sea. Chen Yu originally planned to let the first battalion lead the army to chase forward directly, but after thinking about it and revoking the order, he still had a lot of resentment towards Bao Junfu.

"Chen Shuai, the last general will come to ask for guilt." Chen Mingzheng came to Chen Yu and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chen Yu, "The responsibility for this matter of the Marine Corps is not on you, but I hope that all of you Marines can remember one thing, no matter how good the training is in peacetime, and if you don't experience the baptism of the battlefield, once you encounter a headwind, there will be all kinds of problems, and if it is serious, it will directly lead to the collapse of the battle situation." Chen Yu turned around and stared at Chen Mingzheng with burning eyes, and also stared at the marines who were standing behind him a little dejected, glanced at the first battalion that began to clean the battlefield and set up camps, and suddenly said in a high-pitched voice: "All the marines have it, stand up." ”

"Do you feel that you didn't fight well in the battle just now, so you are depressed? Do you feel ashamed of your comrades-in-arms now? Chen Yu looked up to the sky like an angry lion and roared: "You have forgotten the most basic requirements of being a Datang soldier in front of the enemy, and you have forgotten the responsibilities and obligations you bear as a member of the Tiance Army, so you will forget that soldiers should believe in the weapons in their hands and believe in your commanders when facing disadvantages." ”

"Soldiers, you must know that the weapons in your hands are a thousand times better than your enemies, and the tactics we can use in a battlefield duel are more advanced and reasonable than your enemies. Therefore, we must have self-confidence at all times, and only our Tiance Army is always invincible in this world. Chen Yu looked at the marines who gradually raised their heads and nodded: "All of them, tell me, what are you?" ”

"Tiance Army, guard the Tang Dynasty, and have no regrets in a hundred battles." The battlefield was silent for a moment, but then a loud roar erupted. This roar made the surrounding soldiers of the first battalion look up slightly at the Marine Corps in front of them. For the first battalion, their goal of catching up had jumped out of the ordinary troops and went to catch up with the army of the king of soldiers in the Tiance army. No matter how amazing the average army is, for them, at most they can survive to death, that is, to be able to stand side by side with them.

Unlike the 3rd Battalion, the 1st Battalion was known to the people of the country because it had performed many individual missions. The character of the first battalion is actually a bit like Yang Tiancheng's previous character, tenacious and silent, standing there sometimes you can't even feel his existence, and if you don't go to the battlefield, you will never exude your kind of sharpness that looks down on the world.

"Immediately lead the team to assist the first battalion in setting up the camp, bandage the wounded soldiers and send them to the Fuxing-class cabin, where the humidity is too heavy." Chen Yu waved his hand and asked Chen Mingzheng to take his troops to arrange camping and other matters, and he took his personal guards to make a clipper to find the Yun, meet with Guo Chongtao, and discuss the attack on Phoenix City tomorrow. With the first battalion here, even if the Qian army comes to attack the camp tonight, there will be no problem. Even after being attacked by someone, the first battalion will exert extremely stable combat power, and will not change in the slightest due to changes in the environment.

"Chen Shuai, during the day, the Izumo class has already begun to shell the water village on the outskirts of Phoenix City, clearing most of the obstacles." Guo Chongtao had already drawn the location of most of the fortifications on the periphery of Phoenix City when Chen Yu came over, so after Chen Yu came in, he began to explain: "But I personally feel that it is too difficult to carry out the landing mission in Phoenix City, unless the first battalion acts as the landing vanguard, it will be difficult to rely on the combat strength of the Marine Corps to pass through such complex terrain and dense fortifications." Obviously, Guo Chongtao also knew about the performance of the Marine Corps today, so he directly vetoed the previous plan to let the Marine Corps carry out the landing plan and cooperate with the first battalion to open up the situation on land.

"Let's not talk about the Marines, let them follow your fleet tomorrow." Chen Yu also understood Guo Chongtao's thoughts, the navy had barely received much funding in the past two years, and the entire naval system, including the training system, except for the outline sorted out by Li Xuanqing, had been built little by little by relying on the young man in front of him, so he also knew that he had done his best, so he nodded and said: "Tomorrow, when the supply fleet arrives, a mobile artillery team can be formed and let them follow the first battalion to attack on the road." Your fleet is focused on taking their water village and dock to see if you can successfully pick up the other troops to land through the dock. Let the Marines go up if you can. Chen Mingzheng is actually a good kid, but the Marine Corps has not experienced the baptism of the Great War, so he lacks the courage and confidence to fight to the death. So sometimes don't be too merciful, you should understand the principle of mercy and not being in charge of soldiers. ”

"Chen Shuai, don't worry, I'll take the opportunity to act." Chen Yu's words made Guo Chongtao nod, and then said: "But tomorrow there will be no way for the fleet to directly assist you, and everything will depend on the first battalion itself." ”

"The first battalion, don't worry, their combat power is a weakened version of the Flying Eagle Brigade, and there will be no problems." Chen Yu smiled, having absolute confidence in the first battalion.

After discussing this, the two began to rest separately, and the next day, close to noon, the supply fleet from Shantou found Phoenix City under the guidance of the Saihai Ship that went out to sea, and the brigade began to land on the spot on the Beigang side, and carried more than a dozen artillery pieces and a large number of shells ashore, and Chen Yu began to command a force of 50,000 people to set off towards Phoenix. The Marines boarded the troop carrier and began to follow the Izumo to the vicinity of Phoenix.

In fact, after Bao Junfu's troops were defeated and returned to Phoenix City yesterday, Qian had already expected that the Tiance Army would attack Phoenix City today, so the guards in various parts of the city had been arranged, and they were ready to concentrate their forces and rely on the city wall and the Tiance Army to fight to the death. However, just when Chen Yu and the others arrived at the city, the Xuanying Guard, who was arranged in the city, had already begun to carry out the final step of the plan at this time. A handwritten letter written by Jiangdong political envoy Luo Yin to Qian was delivered to the other party. Originally, this plan was intended to be executed in advance, but Qian was an extremely tough person, and he would never give up until the last moment, so the dark guard decided to wait until the Tiance army came to the city. After all, in terms of money, what Zailiuqiu did was actually not bad, not only bringing various production and living technologies that were urgently needed to the local Han people, but more importantly, organizing the people to resist the attacks of the Gaoshan people, and even taking out energy to educate the Gaoshan people and the local Han people to live in harmony. After all this was reported to the headquarters of Xuan Yingwei, Hu Xiaosi moved the idea of persuading him to surrender, and for this reason, he personally found Luo Yin, the political envoy of Jiangdong, and asked the chief strategist of the former Qian to persuade the former owner to surrender, and on behalf of Li Xuanqing, he promised that he would not embarrass the money, and he would not blame the past for burning Hangzhou. Even Luo Yin, who was traditional in the Tang Empire, naturally understood that Li Xuanqing rarely made such a promise to his former enemies, so he directly accepted it without any hesitation, and personally wrote the trust Xuanying Wei to bring to Liuqiu.

Not to mention what kind of effect this letter has for money at this moment, Chen Yu outside the city is ready to attack at this time, and the newly arrived artillery brigade will push fifteen 75mm field guns to the front of the position, and after all the artillery is in place, the first battalion will send 10,000 forward troops to begin to line up in front of the entire army, and they will be the first to enter the city as a vanguard when the city is broken, opening up the situation to cover the rapid entry of the large army into the city.

"Chen Shuai, Xuanying Wei is urgent." Chen Yu's side planned to attack the city, not only was it almost dusk at this time, if he couldn't enter the city within an hour, then it was bound to be necessary to drag the battle to the next day, but just when Chen Yu was about to give the order, Xuan Yingwei sent a message, asking Chen Yu to wait until tomorrow to attack, and briefly told Chen Yu about the efforts of the secret guards in the city.

"Then I'll give you one night's time, and tomorrow morning, if you don't want to go out of the city, then don't blame me for being unkind." Chen Yu nodded, if Qian could raise troops to surrender, then it would be a great joy to reduce battlefield losses, so he looked at the sky, ordered all departments to rest on the spot, and at the same time informed the fleet to wait for tomorrow before attacking.

However, Chen Yu's unexpected cessation of troops outside the city made Qian in the city suddenly feel relaxed, at least the other party was still trustworthy at this point, and this also made Qian secretly curious that the system named Xuan Yingwei in the Tiance Army system was still powerful enough, and it was able to control the generals who commanded the troops outside. However, for Toucheng's current Datang, Qian was full of emotion for a while, and he didn't know where to start. What he did well in Hangzhou was that the Tiance army swept all the way from north to south, quickly ended the situation of the melee in the north of the Yangtze River, unified the Central Plains and then raised troops to cross the Yangtze River, and the trend of dominating the world was almost visible to ordinary people. But at that time, he still wanted to rely on the advantages of the Southern Army, which had been good at water warfare since ancient times, and rely on the Yangtze River and the Tiance Army to confront each other in the north and south.

What is the purpose of working hard for so long? After thinking about it, Qian Dong suddenly thought of this question, and he was stunned for a moment. For the world? For the homeland? For the people? Or for yourself? If it is said that it is for the sake of the family and the country, then Toucheng is the best choice, not only to avoid the disaster of swords, but also to allow the new people to quickly recuperate. But what if it's for yourself?

The experience of most of his life came to his mind at this moment, looking at the little bonfire in the Tiance military camp outside the city and the words and singing of the soldiers from time to time, Qian sighed silently. turned around and looked at the soldiers of the Wusheng Army beside him. Yes, Wu Shengjun, this was his banner in Hangzhou back then, and Qian did not give up this banner after coming to Liuqiu. But at this moment, Qian suddenly felt that the name Wu Shengjun seemed to be over.

"Go and inform the housekeeper, go and ask Husband Wu, and say that I have something to find him." After Qian Yangtian let out a long sigh, he commanded, but this sentence seemed to drain the last trace of strength in his body.
