Chapter 32: The Second Battle

On 7 May, a week had passed since the revolutionary uprising. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the morning of that day, the Revolutionary Party's Western Route Army, which had no knowledge of the Eastern Route Revolutionary's retreat to Nanxi, began to storm the Ke Shuxun Battalion of He Zongzhang's Division, which was stationed in the Qing Southern Defense Battalion, according to the original plan. The Ma Tingfang battalion of the Qing army undertook the task of resisting the revolutionary party together with the two battalions of Ke Shuxun and Zeng Guozhen. However, when the main force of the revolutionary army attacked Ke Ying, Ma and Zeng stood by and watched. Ke Ying fought desperately alone.

In the afternoon, Guan Renfu took the lead and led the crowd to rush to kill, but was shot and wounded.

At this moment, Zhou Guoxiang's new military camp arrived, and they and the other three battalions of Qing troops were caught inside and out, disrupting the revolutionary party's position. The revolutionary party had no choice but to cover its flag and retreat into the valley.

It was dusk, and Ke Shuxun's battalion wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Zhou Guoxiang saw that the mountains were high and the roads were dangerous, and he was worried that the revolutionary army would set up an ambush, so he stopped it. The four battalions of the Qing army collected their troops together and stayed in the barbarian street.

The next morning, the Qing army set out as a whole team, and after walking more than ten miles, they found that there were cooking utensils and other relics in the place where the revolutionary army of Guan Renfu's department was staying at night. When the Qing army learned that Guan Renfu had only suffered a minor wound in the left arm and that the revolutionary party was preparing to attack Wang Butian (now Jinping), they had gone far south.

Guan Renfu then had to lead his troops to retreat to Xinjie.

At the same time, the Qing army of Wang Zhengya's army, which had discovered that Wang and the Shunbu Revolutionary Party had retreated overnight, had already learned the reason for the retreat of the opposite Revolutionary Party from the official letter sent by the Governor's Palace. And after the revolutionary party retreated, this Qing army can be described as jubilant, you must know that during this period of time, all the Qing army is nervous and tense, and the war is going to die, who is willing to die if there is nothing to do? You must know that the revolutionary party is not a good one. After some celebration, he slowly pressed towards Nanxi.

At this time, Xiao Mubai received an order. That was given to him by Xiliang, who took advantage of Wang Heshun's pre-arrival at Nanxi to occupy Nanxi first, cut off the back road of the revolutionary party, and cut off its logistical supplies. This made Xiao Mubai quite embarrassed, but he didn't want to fight with the revolutionary party, in line with the principle of looking up and not looking down, and letting go of a horse if he could. You must know that after Xinhai, it is inevitable that you will have to deal with the revolutionary party, and it is not good to offend them at this time.

Thinking like this, but at this time, Xiao Mubai was helpless. He doesn't dare to disobey Yang and Yin at this moment, Xiliang is a ruthless person, and playing sloppy with him at this time is no different from looking for death.

Although Xiao Mubai was not very happy in his heart, the officers and soldiers under his command did not think so. After yesterday's battle, they directly tested the level of the revolutionary party. Yan Weidong is better, after all, the people themselves have made a little contribution to yesterday's battle. But Mo Chunlin didn't think so, he had to know that he still hadn't made an inch, and now he urgently needed a battle to prove himself and prove that his brothers were no worse than others.

Gu Linjing was only a few dozen miles away from Nanxi, and in less than a morning, Xiao Mubai took two battalions of men and horses to a jungle not far from Nanxi. I saw that Nanxi, which was close at hand, was peaceful, and the soldiers were wandering around at the entrance of the town, and there was no tension at all when the big war came.

Seeing this scene from the telescope, Xiao Mubai subconsciously frowned. The revolutionary party is really a bunch of rice buckets, and such an act is really a way to die, since this is the case, then don't blame yourself for being polite. You must know that dozens of miles away from Nanxi is Gu Linjing, where thousands of eight hundred Qing troops are stationed, but Nanxi, which is in the forward position, is like an undefended one, which has to make Xiao Mubai angry.

Although he is now in the camp of the Qing army, he is also an authentic revolutionary party, and although he does not agree with the views of the League, he also has a certain respect for them. Therefore, he has been trying to release water in places where he can put water on the battlefield. Now it seems that the revolutionaries can only be said to be too uncompetitive. Heaven is forgivable; and thou shalt not live.

"My lord, this time our battalion is the main attack." Mo Chunlin glared at Yan Weidong and asked for battle.

"Okay, then draw a sentry from Lao Yan's camp to strengthen you. Everyone else is in reserve. Xiao Mubai nodded.

The two of them didn't mean anything about it, so they nodded in response. Originally, Yan Weidong wanted to grab the main attack, but when he saw Mo Chunlin's glaring, he extinguished that thought.

At this time, the supreme person in charge of the military defense of Nanxi Town of the Revolutionary Party was Xiong Tong, a member of the Miao nationality, who was the garrison of the Qing army in Hekou before the Hekou Uprising, and was deeply influenced by the revolutionary ideas of Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and as one of the important internal responders of the revolutionary pioneers such as Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Huang Mingtang, who personally commanded and launched the Hekou Uprising. At the moment of the uprising, he drew his gun, killed Wang Yufan, and ordered all the remaining Qing soldiers to surrender.

Although Xiong Tong was nominally the supreme person in charge, he was restrained by the revolutionary party everywhere in his work, and when he received a report from Wang Heshun last night, he hurriedly ordered the troops to be on alert, and sent people to investigate overnight. However, in the process of implementation, it was disobeyed by the revolutionary party, and in the end, it was not done. He knew that he was not trusted by the revolutionaries, but he was helpless about it, who made him the Qing army who rebelled before the battle!

Just as he was in distress, bursts of gunfire and shouts of killing came in. Knowing that something was wrong, a clever man rolled over and picked up a pistol and rushed out. Walking into the streets, there were panicked soldiers everywhere.

Seeing this, Xiong Tong, who was very anxious, hurriedly stood on the steps and shouted at the top of his voice:

"Brothers, don't be chaotic, don't be chaotic. The enemy is still far from here, and they all follow me to the town to repel them. ”

"Brothers, listen to Lord Xiong, go quickly."

"Let's go, let's go."

I have to say that the power of example is endless, and seeing someone taking the lead, Xiong Tong gathered dozens of people to rush to the town after a while.

However, he obviously underestimated Mo Chunlin's attack speed, you must know that Mo Chunlin has been holding back his anger for a long time, if he doesn't vent it, maybe he will hold back his internal injuries. Before he could reach the town, a group of routs retreated head-on, and were rushed by this rout, and the soldiers who had finally gathered them ran away again.

At this time, Xiong Tong could be said to be frightened and angry, surprised by the speed of the Qing army's attack, angry at the revolutionary party's rejection of dissidents, if they didn't listen to their own words, how could they let the Qing army attack so easily. At this moment, he can be said to be in despair, and he has already germinated a will to die. Seeing the oncoming Qing army, he raised his hand to "snap" two shots, and before he could look at the two more shots, he was hit by a steady stream of anti-battalion soldiers behind him and fell.

When the gunfire gradually subsided, Xiao Mubai slowly walked into the town accompanied by Yan Weidong. Seeing the angry expression on Mo Chunlin's face that came over, could it be that there were great casualties? Xiao Mubai hurriedly asked:

"How? What about the casualties of the brethren? ”

"Lord Hui, because our army's attack was sudden, the casualties were not too great."

"And what's your expression?" Xiao Mubai wondered.

"The brethren caught one alive, but he was seriously wounded, and he was still an official. It's just that this dog day hurt our two brothers. Mo Chunlin said angrily.

Hearing that he had caught a live mouth, he was still an official, Yan Weidong's eyes were red with jealousy, why didn't he have such a good life? What a lot of credit for that? It would be nice if I could be tougher before the war and grab the main attack. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Hearing that he had caught an official, even Xiao Mubai was not calm now.

"Oh? Alive, know who is not? ”

"I asked clearly, according to the prisoner's confession, this person's name is Xiong Tong, who is the garrison of the former estuary defense camp and the leader of the Nanxi Rebellion this time."

Hearing Mo Chunlin say that it was Xiong Tong, Xiao Mubai thought about it, and was full of good feelings for this Miao general who died bravely in Nanxi in the original time and space. So he came up with the idea of receiving this man into the account.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and commanded:

"This person is still useful to us, so don't mention him in the war report. Command the brethren to keep their mouths tight. I will report you for your credit. ”

"Yes, my lord, I'll understand."

Seeing Xiao Mubai's solemn appearance, the two of them also began to look serious. As for Mo Chunlin, what credit is not credited, as long as the adults know it in their hearts.

Therefore, Mo Chunlin sent his henchmen to bring him back to Guangnan and hand it over to Yang Zhenhong.
