Dalian Bay, Nanguanling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the three places of Lushun Dalian and Jinzhou are described as a hornet, Lushunkou is the stinger stretched out by this hornet, the mountains around Lushun Port are the abdomen of the hornet, and Dalian Jinzhou is the head and chest of the hornet.

And Nanguanling is the waist of this hornet.

Nanguanling to the west to the Tuchengzi area, the mountains and dangerous peaks are clustered layer by layer, and there is only a corridor two or three miles wide and more than ten miles long leading to Port Arthur.

The rest of the area is full of dangerous cliffs.

Inside this corridor two or three miles wide, there are also rolling hills and dense forests, which is a natural defense line to block the enemy's advance.

At the mouth of Nanguan Lingkou, Shen Zhaoao, Mao Chao, Luo Dali, Liu Mingyang and a group of captains of the Korean army stood at the foot of the mountain to observe the situation of the valley mouth.

"Chief of Staff Shen, what you say, let's do it; To put it mildly, I'm a big old man and don't understand anything, so it's better to be the leader of the engineer squadron than to give me a platoon commander. ”

Luo Dali said with a look of resentment.

"You don't need to understand, you just need to humbly listen to the advice of your subordinate professional soldiers and strictly follow it;"

Shen Zhaoao smiled and said: "The basic task of the current sappers is to build bridges and assist in the construction of fortifications, all you have to do is to grasp the progress of the project; It's as simple as it gets, but sometimes it can be decisive in the outcome of a battle, and it requires a very strong squadron leader to control. ”

"So what do we do now? The Golden State side is playing well. ”

Mao Chao listened to the roar of the cannon in the direction of Jinzhou, and his face was eager to try: "It's better for you to repair slowly, and I'll take the cavalry battalion over for a turn." ”

"The beauty you think,"

Shen Zhaoao looked at the undulating Nanguanling on this hill and said, "Give me an honest fortress!" ”

Purandian.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the westward marching coalition forces arrived at Pulandian.

Immediately, the generals of the Sheng Army, who were deprived of military power, represented by Lu Benyuan and Sun Xianyin, demanded to return to Jinzhou City from Fuzhou Avenue.

However, He Changying immediately turned his face and ordered the guards to directly detain these Sheng army generals.

Only a few battalion officers such as Qu Decheng and Wu Ruisheng were spared.

Jiang Zikang, who got the news, hurriedly found He Changying and wanted to persuade him not to act recklessly.

As a result, when Jiang Zikang came to the vast beach of Pulandian Bay in Beicheng, he was surprised to see 6,000 Sheng troops and more than 2,000 reinforcement troops, neatly lined up in a square formation, solemn and silent.

Especially the cavalry phalanx of the Sheng Army with more than 1,300 cavalry in five battalions and one outpost, it was very visually impactful, and it made Jiang Zikang pant and frightened when he looked at it.

"A soldier is a good soldier, and he will be a bad seed!"

He Changying heard Jiang Zikang's intention, rode on his war horse, and shouted loudly in the face of more than 8,000 reinforcements and the Sheng army.

Just this short sentence immediately ignited the grievances and anger in the hearts of all Sheng Jun.

"Changying, you have to think clearly, if this is passed back and says that you have embezzled the Sheng Army, this is a great crime! Even if you win the battle, no matter how beautiful the battle is, it won't be worth today's affairs. ”

Jiang Zikang stood under the horse, still persuading hard.

"Embezzling the Sheng Army—"

He Changying said with a look of surprise: "Which one wants to swallow the Sheng army privately?" I just saw that the generals of the Sheng army deliberately burned down the city of Andong, abandoned the city and fled, and temporarily detained them in place of the imperial court and sent them back to Jinmen. ”

"But—"

Jiang Zikang felt that He Changying was a quibble about three hundred taels of silver here, but as soon as he said two words, he was rudely interrupted by He Changying.

"But now that the war is imminent, we are blocked by the Japanese army in Pulandian, and only by breaking through the encirclement of these tens of thousands of Japanese troops can we enter Jinzhou City; Pointing to our 4,000 reinforcement of the Korean army, the Renzi army is no fun at all, so we have to let the reinforcement army and the Sheng army exchange some personnel, so as to revitalize the military strength of the Sheng army. ”

He Changying's words were awe-inspiring.

"Uh-"

Jiang Zikang was stunned by He Changying's words, and then said with an angry smile: "Do you think this can hide from the eyes of the world? You He Changying aided the Korean army with his left hand, and Sheng Jun with his right hand, this is a good calculation! ”

"I don't control the Sheng Army."

He Changying said faintly.

"What?"

Jiang Zikang thought he had heard the wrong ear.

"Lin Yunyu is the temporary commander of the Sheng army, as for how the imperial court will arrange the appointment in the future, it will be after the battle."

He Changying's face was calm.

"Shhhh

Jiang Zikang gasped, he didn't expect He Changying to use this method to resolve the accusations and interference of the imperial court, Beiyang, and his annexation of the Sheng army.

Isn't this a copy of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang back then?

From the interior of the Hunan army, the Huai army and the Chu army were separated.

And then take control of the world reasonably.

This method is really good, it can not only avoid the suspicion of the future court, but also cultivate a group of like-minded allies.

"This kid is really a seven-trick and exquisite heart, talent!"

Jiang Zikang glanced at Lin Yunyu, who was riding on a war horse next to him, his eyes were not squinting, and his face was expressionless, and he couldn't help but envy Lin Yunyu's good life.

It is conceivable that as long as this Xinsheng army does not fight too badly, there should be a place for him Lin Yunyu among the top generals of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Seeing that Jiang Zikang was no longer dissuaded, He Changying clamped the horse's belly and rode on the temporary two-meter-high wooden platform.

Then, Wu Weiyang and Lin Yunyu also slowly drove their horses to the high platform, one left and one right, standing slightly back on both sides of He Changying.

"Stand upright!"

He Changying pulled his throat and yelled.
