Hey, sighing helplessly, Wang Shizhen reluctantly took the telegram from the staff officer's hand and looked at it again, and then sent the telegram weakly.

The telegram suddenly fell to the ground weakly, and Luo Dacheng on the side looked at Wang Shizhen suspiciously, not understanding why he was still alive just now turned into this bear bag.

Seeing the telegram that fell to the ground, Luo Dacheng squatted down and picked it up and looked at it, but still didn't understand what it meant.

"Lao Wang, this is this?" Luo Dacheng, who suddenly short-circuited, looked at Wang Shizhen, who was sitting on the ammunition box and kept shaking his head.

"The marshal means that we will not leave any Qing troops in this Handan City, and kill them all, even if we break through, we must catch up, otherwise we will ......"

"What else?"

"We don't have to go back, that is, we can cut it off ourselves."

What? Luo Dacheng's eyes widened, swallowed his saliva, turned to look at Handan City in the distance, and then turned his head to look at Wang Shizhen on the side again.

'What do we need to do now?' Luo Dacheng didn't want to die, and in a panic, he could only ask Wang Shizhen, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front.

Wang Shizhen looked at Luo Dacheng like an idiot. Raising his head, he said for a while, "What else can I do?" Fight, if the Qing army in Handan does not die, we will have to die. ”

"Okay, Lao Tzu will go to the cavalry brigade in person." Luo Dacheng stomped his feet and raised his steel helmet from the side, he knew that if he didn't get out of the horse and didn't motivate the soldiers, then it would not be easy to take Handan City, if he didn't take Handan, or even slaughter the Qing army, he wouldn't want to live.

For the first time, Wang Shizhen did not stop Luo Dacheng, looking at Luo Dacheng's distant back, Wang Shizhen took a deep breath and stood up, walked to the steel helmet that was placed in front of the balcony just now and buckled it on his head, and then looked at the communication soldier standing beside him: "Send a telegram to Feng Guozhang, from now on, don't take prisoners, and slaughter all Qing troops if they encounter them." ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the bunker, and he personally went to direct the artillery and bombard the city of Handan.

In the artillery position of the Liaodong Army outside Handan, dozens of artillery pieces were coldly arranged in three rows, and the artillery was constantly carrying shells from the rear to the front of the artillery, and then quickly reloading.

Wang Shizhen, who was escorted by the guards, walked straight to the howitzer and asked the artillery next to him: "What kind of shell is being loaded now?" ”

"Report to the Commander, scattershot."

Scattershot? It's okay to use scattered bullets to kill and injure enemies, but now, what you need is to bombard Handan City.

He frowned, without any hesitation. Wang Shizhen issued the most direct order: "Replace the scattered bullets and reload the armor-piercing bullets." ”

Boom, ten minutes later, there was an earth-shattering sound, which suddenly startled Tie Liang, who was watching the map in the Yazhong of Handan County.

What's going on? Is there thunder, Tie Liang raised his head and looked outside suspiciously, it was impossible to thunder when the sky was clear outside.

There was a loud bang, and Tie Liang felt the earth tremble.

"Let's go find out what's going on?" Throwing down the pen in his hand, Tie Liang shouted at the generals beside him.

Not long after the general left, this huge vibration sounded again,

No, no, this is the Liaodong Army attacking. Tie Liang, who understood it all at once, reacted suddenly. Pushing away the senators and others around him, Tie Liang went crazy and began to leave the county office and run in the direction of the loud noise.

Before he was halfway there, the general who had just gone out to check the situation ran over in a panic.

Seeing the panicked eyes of the general, Tie Liang estimated that it was not good news.

"President, no, the Liaodong Army is shelling the city wall with all its might, and the city wall is about to collapse."

"What" Tie Liang grabbed the general's collar, he didn't believe that such a strong city, such a strong city wall, would be blown up,

But I had to believe it, remembering the shock just now, Tie Liang suddenly let go of the general and went to the north gate without hesitation.

Panting and soaking up the wall, he saw that the artillery position of the Liaodong Army in the distance was spraying orange-red flames into the city wall, and the smoke of the artillery had already blocked the artillery position of the Liaodong Army.

Since the start of the war, I have never seen the Liaodong Army so fierce, and among them, there is also the artillery that Li Yuanhong said was a freak, and it only took a few cannons to collapse the city wall.

Boom, a loud bang sounded again, Tie Conscience chuckled, and before he could react, he saw that fifty meters away, the solid city wall suddenly collapsed like tofu, and the Qing army on the city wall didn't even have a chance to scream, so they fell with the collapsed city wall.

"My lord, the Liaodong Army has begun to attack." Before Tie Liang could react, the general next to him pointed to the distance.

Tie Liang followed the general's hand, and immediately saw that at least two or three thousand people were rushing up with shouts, and the Liaodong artillery did not stop attacking, but still shelled their own positions.

After his straw bale nephew slaughtered the people, in order to test what the Liaodong army was going to do to him, he let a standard of more than 1,000 people go out of the city and build a field position outside the city to resist the Liaodong army.

Of these more than 1,000 people, nearly half of them were killed or wounded in the five attacks of the Liaodong Army, and now they have withstood the shelling just now, and it is estimated that there are only four or five hundred people left.

Raising the binoculars, Tie Liang saw that the Liaodong Army was rushing to the position with a shout, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with his own troops......

This idiot, this idiot, Tie Liang closed his eyes in pain.

Just now, he saw with his own eyes that a Qing soldier had already thrown down his weapon and knelt on the ground to surrender, but the Liaodong army didn't care about this action at all, and still stabbed the bayonet in his hand into the body of the soldier.

He got the answer he wanted most in the past few days, that is, the Liaodong Army would not let go of himself, let alone his own army.

The general next to him also saw this situation, his eyes widened, and he trembled and pointed to the Liaodong Army who was committing violence in the distance: "My lord, they ...... What are they? ”

Taking a deep breath, Tie Liang shook his head helplessly: "Let's do it ourselves, we have no way out now." ”

There was no way out, the general looked at Tie Liang who was walking under the city wall suspiciously, and when he thought of Tie Liang's nephew, he immediately understood that the Qing army in Handan City was bound to die.

Looking at the troops that had now been routed and running this way, and the Liaodong Army that was following behind. The general swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He is not a fool, this Liaodong army obviously wants to avenge the people, so he immediately made a decision, that is, he quickly ran down the city, rushed into a people's house, snatched two clothes from it and took off his military uniform.

Handan County Ya, Tie Liang, who returned to the county Ya, had not had time to make adjustments, and a series of news came, the West Gate was lost, the Liaodong Army entered and became, the Second Association was fighting in the streets, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners Army was defeated, and now it has left Handan and is retreating to Anyang, Henan.

As soon as he mentioned the Eight Banners, Tie Liang hated it in his heart, every time he opened his wings, the Eight Banners were the first to run, and he ran very simply, and sometimes even lost his weapons cleanly.

He knew very well that Shijiazhuang was lost like this, otherwise, where would the Liaodong Army take Shijiazhuang so quickly.

Shijiazhuang, because Cixi said where it was very important, and at that time the new army was on the front line, so where was stationed there was 10,000 people of the Eight Banners Army, who knows, after the loss of Baoding, Feng Guozhang immediately went south, and the Eight Banners led the cavalry to resist a little outside the city, and when he saw the artillery bombardment of the Liaodong Army, he was immediately frightened and retreated to Shijiazhuang, and led the troops to Shanxi in one breath that night, and it was hateful to think about it.

Now, their new army is desperately resisting in front, but now there is news that the Eight Banners Army has fled, and the hell has run to nothing, the problem is that at this critical moment, it really affects morale.

"My lord, let's go quickly, after the Liaodong army enters the city, they will kill people in military uniforms." A general rushed in.

Something to be expected. Tie Liang had long known that once the Liaodong army entered the city, it would definitely slaughter the Qing army.

"My lord, no, the second town has run away." Another piece of bad news reached Tie Liang's ears again.

Hey, stomping his feet, Tie Liang sighed resentfully, Handan is gone, and his army of 50,000 is gone.
