Chapter 194 Cold Spring February Lower Yangzhou
Song Jingshi proved his innocence with his performance and handed over a letter of submission, and Yang Dongfang enthusiastically invited him into the city. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Black Flag Army (let's call it so for the time being) took the 3,000 people of the new battalion plus the 800 people of Sun Yishou's headquarters as prisoners.
Yong Ge picked up Ye Zhichao and asked Song Jingshi what to do, Song Jingshi waved his hand and said, "Let the big man do it, otherwise I would have shot him in the chest a long time ago." ”
"Help! Commander, you are benevolent and righteous, the New People's Army treats the prisoners preferentially, and the small ones are willing to serve the New People's Army. Ye Zhichao, who was half dead, saw Yang Dongfang's first sentence when he opened his mouth was to ask for help, and now he was still stuck with a red cherry spear, Yongge, this kid was so bad that he didn't help him pull it out and stop the bleeding or something.
With more and more blood loss, Ye Zhichao is getting more and more depressed.
Yang Dongfang looked at it and sneered: "Your name is Ye Zhichao, haha." Our New People's Army gives preferential treatment to prisoners, but it will certainly not give preferential treatment to those who are half-hearted and harbor evil intentions. ”
Yang Dongfang pronounced the death penalty of Ye Zhichao in one sentence, this guy Yang Dongfang has heard of it, isn't it the defeated general Ye Zhichao, who later hit the Japanese army with a white flag in the First Sino-Japanese War, threw away countless guns, ammunition and cannons, and was as timid as a mouse and fled back to China for 500 miles.
Looking at what he did, he didn't have a good feeling, who is rare, he has no ability to fight, and he has a set of drills.
Yang Dongfang pointed directly at Sun Yishou and said, "You helped him end the pain, I can consider keeping you." ”
"Ahh The lifeless Sun Yishou was stunned for a moment, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and he kowtowed as if he had been amnestied: "Thank you Yang Dashuai, the next official must be." ”
"Brother-in-law, you can't! You can't do this, I'm your brother-in-law, if you kill me, my sister will follow you. ”
"Hehe, Yue Qun, just endure it, death is just a knife, and after eighteen years, he will be a good man again. You don't have to worry about me and your sister, I'll send a bell to my father-in-law for you. Sun Yishou walked over, killed Ye Zhichao with a knife, and handed over his surrender.
Just looking at the people around him and shaking his head, Yang Dongfang turned his head and went back to the inner city, leaving only one sentence:
"Let him go back, our New People's Army can't keep this kind of talent, we are a very pure army."
Song Jingshi excitedly admired Yong Ge and the others: "See, this is the real hero, it's right to follow Yang Dashuai, we are all pure people." ”
Later, a simple dinner party was set up in the city, and Song Jingshi and others drank wine and talked heart-to-heart, Yang Dongfang had no interest in Song Jingshi's capture of five or six hundred breech guns and one hundred short archery crossbows from the new battalion, all of which were given to the Black Flag Army.
The prisoners were all selected by Song Jingshi as soldiers, and together with the Black Flag Army, they were organized into the Seven-Star Army, with a total of 4,000 people, and they were also asked to use the Seven-Star Banner to send Wan Lei to bring a platoon into the station to help the Seven-Star Army be assigned to the establishment, retrain, and make it more regular.
Song Jingshi also cooperated very much, and there were no complaints, if you want to say that she is dissatisfied, Yang Dongfang released half of the old, weak, sick and disabled prisoners out of the city, and also gave each of them a tael of silver, just like the soldiers of the New People's Army at the beginning, they were puzzled.
The next day, Zhang Shusheng took 18,000 troops to the city of Xuzhou, but he did not dare to attack, because his vanguard was eliminated by the New People's Army.
To the west was his younger brother Zhang Shushan's 3,000 men, and then he hurried to the rear to ask Li Hongzhang, saying that Yang Dongfang was blocked, but if he wanted to recapture Xuzhou, he still needed to transfer more troops over, and it was best to pull all the artillery along the Yangtze River and suppress the attack with firepower.
Xuzhou was lost, and if he wanted to take it back from Yang Dongfang, Li Hongzhang still knew that he knew it, so it was not something that could be done in a short time, although he was actively continuing to draw troops from Songjiang Mansion, but he did not take it up all at once.
At the same time, he also continued to let Yang Dingxun take 20,000 Shandong soldiers and horses to the west to besiege the north of Xuzhou, and he still did not give up on encircling and annihilating Yang Dongfang.
Fast forward and two days passed.
Li Hongzhang's reinforcements had not yet arrived, Yang Dongfang's cavalry regiment came, and Feng Dazhao and Tong Da hurried to Xuzhou.
The number of soldiers of the New People's Army in Xuzhou suddenly increased to 6,000, not including the people who supported them and who had just benefited from the liberation movement.
Let the cavalry rest for most of the day, at night Yang Dongfang led the cavalry regiment and rushed out directly from the south gate, startling Zhang Shusheng, and thought that the New People's Army was going to attack the camp at night, but it turned out to be cavalry, like a wind phantom and went straight to the southeast.
"Not good! Yang Dongfang wanted to attack Suqian. Zhang Shusheng, who reacted quickly, let out a cold sweat, Suqian went south to Huai'an, and now the king of Huainan is there.
"What? Yang Dongfang went south again. ”
Li Hongzhang, who received the news, kicked over the footbasin with a kick and drove away the maid who helped him rub his back and pinch his shoulders, where did he still have the heart to enjoy, and secretly sighed that there is no day of peace in this world.
Yang Dongfang had just captured Xuzhou, so he took the cavalry and went south again, which would be eighty percent to Suqian, and in the next place was Huai'an, where he now lived.
Suqian is not afraid of being breached, there has just been 10,000 troops there, and he has expected that Yang Dongfang will go south to pass there, and the prevention is that the New People's Army will break through and attack Huai'an.
But the problem is that it was the original plan, it turned out that Yang Dongfang was infantry, and now it has been replaced by cavalry, and he can't beat Suqian, so he can go around the city and directly fight Huai'an.
Walk! Or don't go! This is a multiple-choice question, and in the end, Li Hongzhang still didn't dare to go, because there were still 50,000 new troops in the city, which was enough to deal with Yang Dongfang's attack, and besides, it was only cavalry, and there was no threat if there was no field battle.
"Fire!"
The artillery transferred from Susong and other areas on the Yangtze River opened fire on the New People's Army, which was eager to attack Huai'an City.
Li Hongzhang will not give Yang Dongfang a chance at all, and he must boost the morale of all the Huai troops if he is attacked in a row, so he knows that Yang Dongfang will not attack, but he still wastes hundreds of shells to blast out of the city.
"Huaijun is really rich! The salt merchants in Lianghuai are really rich and oily, I haven't planned to fight yet, you will demonstrate first, then I will really fight Huai'an City. Originally, Yang Dongfang did not intend to attack Huai'an, but Li Hongzhang's demonstration angered him, and that night he crossed the two rivers with people, and with the luxury of more than 10,000 prestige points, flew to the West Gate, and hit the guards with a surprise attack.
He seized the city gates, opened the city hole, and led the army to rush in.
"Just remember to make a fuss for me, there are tens of thousands of people in the city, don't be entangled." Yang Dongfang did not rush to the front this time, and told the two main generals of the cavalry regiment.
Feng Dazhao and the two replied yes, and carried the war knife on the streets of Huai'an City, Feng Dazhao and Tong Da worked together, Feng Dazhao led a group of people to rush in front, all of them were slashed with war knives, killing the Huai army in front of the blood flowed like a river, and the horses' hooves broke the Huai army that came to block.
As soon as his group walked by, Tong Da took another part behind, with horse rifles in his hands, and fired at the Huai army a little farther away, and after several months of training, they could already be on horseback, loaded freely, and shoot at will.
The two rushed through the streets, and the Huai army was in confusion for a while, and they were cut down when they came up.
In the end, Yang Dongfang followed behind, what was he doing, under the protection of the guards, to avoid the hidden guns, and then shamelessly collect the guns and weapons that fell on the ground.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an old hair breaker, which costs two prestige points. ”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Minnie rifle, which costs 2 prestige points. ”
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an Enfield breech rifle, which costs two prestige points. ”
Listening to such a beautiful voice, Yang Dongfang felt that he was back by the Dadu River, the appearance of the meeting when he had just crossed over, broke through the siege of the Hunan army, and used the system to collect guns for the first time.
Therefore, when it comes to the trophies on the ground, Yang Dongfang and his cavalry don't need to stop and spend time cleaning at all, they swept all the way, and picked up hundreds of good guns, and even more knives and guns.
When Li Hongzhang came out of the bedroom, heard this, and vigorously mobilized people to deal with the New People's Army, Yang Dongfang, who made a fuss, led the cavalry regiment to decisively withdraw from Huai'an City, leaving more than 40,000 Huai troops all over the ground with chrysanthemum wounds, and the frightened Li Hongzhang and his staff.
After scaring Li Hongzhang, Yang Dongfang continued to move south with the cavalry regiment along the canal, quickly attacking Baoying first, then Gaoyou, and entering Yangzhou Mansion. (To be continued.) )
