Chapter 459: The Second Road of the Defeated Qing Army

"Holy shit, we're fooled! There are also a lot of people with long brains in this gang of clear dogs. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Chen Jian was remorseful and angry, and he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

Soon after, Chen Jian's cavalry and Liu Hui's infantry met, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly after meeting, the advantage of attacking in the dark of night was that they could defeat the enemy, but the disadvantage was that they could also defeat themselves.

"Let's go back to Xuzhou, in case there are unsightly Qing soldiers attacking Xuzhou, we will harm Li Zuzhi's kid." Liu Hui persuaded him.

"I have this intention, the soldiers have been fighting in the wind and snow for a long time, I'm afraid they will suffer from some wind and cold, go back to Xuzhou as soon as possible to drink some ginger soup to recuperate, especially those war horses, if only our war horses were good horses." Chen Jian said.

Liu Hui glanced at him and said, "You can pull it down, it's a good horse, just your four thousand cavalry are almost worth the cost of an army division, what more good horse do you want?" ”

"Old cannon, I fucking think it's too embarrassing, I played well in the front, why was it played in the back." Chen Jian was depressed enough, and he kept sighing and annoying along the way.

"Didn't you say it, there are also high-ranking people in the Qing army, and besides, the Beiyang Army has been dominating the country for so long, do you think they are all vegetarians?" Liu Hui asked rhetorically, he suddenly smiled and said, "Eh, I said that Chen is crazy, you regret it so much, is it because you didn't make a great contribution to capture Jin Yunpeng alive?" ”

"What? What general doesn't want to make meritorious contributions? Chen Jian shouted back, "If Lao Tzu arrests Jin Yunpeng, let's see what everyone says?" Hey, hey, hey, .......

Liu Hui said with a dry smile: "I think Lao Liu, you little bastard want to make meritorious contributions so much, there is definitely a purpose - I said Chen Madman, are you not convinced that Li Shirui is the right handsome?" Do you think you're the best person to be right-handed? Isn't it? Did I say yes? ”

"Nonsense, as if you were obeying him." Jian Chen pouted, he shook his head and said, "I admit that the little guy has a good head, but I'm afraid it won't be his turn to be the right marshal of Jiangbei, Lao Xiao, Lao Luo, it......'s all right."

"Fart! Can Lao Xiao and Lao Luo command you? Liu Hui laughed, as if he had seen through this old brother, and then dissuaded: "I know that you kid is not convinced, and if you are not convinced, but don't be impulsive, he is now a celebrity in Yun Shuai's eyes, if you do it with him, it will be a slap in Yun Shuai's face." And the suggestion he put forward is indeed very good, you see, otherwise when the Beiyang Army goes south, we will be surrounded by the group of warlords and Qing soldiers in the south. ”

"Of course I know the severity, and I also know that Li Shirui is very bright, so I tried my best to launch a counterattack and drive away the Qing soldiers—sure enough, I succeeded, right?" Jian Chen smiled slyly and said triumphantly: "Old cannon, do you say that he Li Shirui is not a cow?" Isn't he Li Shirui powerful? But with my Xuzhou counterattack in front, what else can he Li Shirui come up with? I don't believe he can still chase him to Shandong? ”

"You kid, I know you're not holding back a good fart." Liu Hui scolded with a smile.

Like the Beiyang Army, there are also some factional problems within the Jiangbei Army, but under the control of Wang Yongan and external pressure, the internal contradictions of the Jiangbei Army are mostly for personal opinion of honor competition, and do not involve factional struggle, and this is very similar to the Beiyang Army, the Beiyang Army began when Yuan Shikai became emperor, and the factional struggle grew higher and higher, and after Yuan Shikai's death, the factional struggle entered a climax, and the struggle between the Anhui and the direct family was quickly defeated, and at the same time of the direct infighting, the Feng family rose until Zhang Zuolin was blown up. Zhang Xueliang decided to join the Kuomintang to promote national reunification, and it was only then that the end of the factional war within Beiyang was officially announced.

And now Chen Jian, Liu Hui and other generals of the original 24th Mixed Association and the generals who returned from fighting in Mexico with Wang Yongan have gradually formed two factional prototypes, some of them call themselves old guys, and some of them call themselves new officers.

Tens of thousands of troops of the Qing army fled north on a snowy night, and fled along the Jinpu Railway to the rear baggage hoarding point, located at the Qianting Railway Station between Longshan and Xiaobuffalo Mountain, where Jin Yunpeng left two patrol battalions of 3,000 people and 2,000 Beiyang Army baggage troops to protect his own logistics baggage, and the garrison officer was Duan Zhigui, a famous general of the Anhui department. Speaking of which, Duan Zhigui is still an old acquaintance of Wang Yongan, when he was in Yuan's mansion, the two had an intersection, but he didn't expect that now Duan Zhigui has become Wang Yongan's opponent and is responsible for the second heavy task of the Qing army.

After Jin Yunpeng was dismissed, Zhang Yongcheng temporarily replaced him as the commander of the second road, and Jin Yunpeng only felt that he had no face on the front line, so he proposed to Zhang Yongcheng that he return to the rear to supervise the transportation of ammunition, grain and grass. As soon as Jin Yunpeng arrived at the Qianting camp, he was pulled aside by Duan Zhigui to drink.

After the two old friends got together, they complained, saying that this kind of ghost weather should not have been used to fight in the south, but Premier Yuan must exterminate the Jiangbei Army as soon as possible, what is this matter. Now you and I are in this barren mountains and mountains, we can only eat wild food and drink wine, and we have the right to go out on vacation.

As soon as the two of them heated the wine, they saw the overwhelming rout rushing over, Jin Yunpeng and Duan Zhigui looked at each other, fortunately, although the two of them were not able to command the army, but after all, they were experienced, Duan Zhigui ordered all the rout troops to stand in line, Jin Yunpeng led the army to occupy the two hillsides immediately, once the Jiangbei army took advantage of the chaos to rush and kill, they would be convenient to block.

The two brothers joined forces, and quickly gathered the rout, and a large number of troops arrived one after another, and finally Zhang Yongcheng also led the rest back to the Qianting military camp. After the count, Zhang Yongcheng was grief-stricken, and there were less than 30,000 people left in the 80,000 army, including more than 9,000 people in the Fifth Town of the Beiyang New Army, more than 3,000 people in the 47th Association of the Shandong New Army, more than 6,000 people in the Yi Army, and more than 10,000 people in the patrol battalions of various roads in Shandong and Zhili. More than 50,000 Qing troops were still missing in this pursuit battle, maybe they were annihilated in this battle, maybe they were captured, maybe they were lost—but in this dark and snowy night, most of the soldiers who lost their way would freeze to death—Zhang Yongcheng had only been the commander of the second road for two days, and he had lost half of his men and horses on the second road, and from this point of view, he was even inferior to Jin Yunpeng.

The veteran Jiang Guidi couldn't care about the contradiction with the Beiyang Army at this time, and was directly chased by the cavalry of the Jiangbei Army and almost lost his life. In a hurry and anger, Jiang Guidi fainted again, and the generals of his Yi Army could no longer care about the contradiction with the Beiyang Army, after all, the Yi Army's artillery and baggage were all lost, and they had to rely on the Beiyang Army's supplies.
