Chapter 397: Puyang Water Battle

Chang Zhenbang's guard division after a short rest in Hebi, then rushed to Puyang and Chen Jiongming's third army round, the momentum was stronger, Yue Zhaolin stood on the head of Puyang City and saw all this, couldn't help but sneer, stretched out his hand to call the adjutant, after the two whispered a few words, the adjutant quietly retreated, Yue Zhaolin pulled out the command knife, and slashed into the air, at the same time, Puyang City fired thousands of cannons in unison, the sound shook the world, at the same time, the Puyang City Gate opened, by the 29th Division, The cavalry unit of the 28th Division, which was composed of the combined cavalry, rushed to the position of the Third Army in the southeast like a torrent of floodgates.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Third Army in the southeast had already given an order and hid in the fortifications, and let the shells splash countless times and the dust fell like rain, splashing into the teacups of the soldiers drinking water, and the soldiers said: "Yue Zhaolin is really annoying!" After saying that, he poured out the water in the cup, and just wanted to pour a new glass, but when he heard the order of the boss to fight back, he didn't care about drinking water and resting, and set up a machine gun to fight the cavalry rushing in front of him, and then the heavy siege artillery behind the defense project also roared together, and one by one roared in the ensuing cavalry group with gorgeous blood flowers, and then the cavalry troops of the first southeast division took advantage of the situation to attack, shouting and rebelling, coming and going like the wind into the Puyang cavalry that was exhausted by machine guns and artillery, In the eyes of the generals of the 29th Division at the head of Puyang City, they asked Yue Zhaolin for their lives, Yue Zhaolin smiled faintly and said: "Division Commander Zhou handed you over to the command of this officer, and you must obey the military orders of this officer, otherwise Hugh blames the ruthlessness of military law!" ”

"Hmph, no matter how majestic you Yue Zhaolin is, you can't control the head of Lao Tzu's 29th Division! Brothers, go back to the city, let's find Master Zhou's theory! Then he turned and went down from the city.

Yue Zhaolin sneered, stretched out his hand, and those horses behind him rushed out, without saying a word, they raised their guns and killed, after a few gunshots, the leaders of the 29th Division fell in a pool of blood, Yue Zhaolin said: "Don't move, let those brothers of the 29th Army come out and clean up." The soldiers of the 29th Army on the city wall were all frightened, and they came to collect the bodies of these officers and uncles who were high up on weekdays, looking at the appearance of these people on the spot one by one, no one was not afraid of Yue Zhaolin's iron-blooded methods, and his dissatisfaction with him disappeared at once, and the entire sloppy military spirit was also greatly improved.

After the southeast cavalry defeated the Puyang cavalry, Chen Jiongming immediately sent infantry to follow, the artillery advanced, and the combination of artillery and cavalry step by step After all, Puyang became a down, Yue Zhaolin would immediately only let the soldiers on the head of the city enter a defensive state, and suddenly the artillery roared, the boulders were in the sky, the hot oil was all over the sky, the guns were everywhere, and a vicious battle was difficult to solve, but the southeast side was full of soldiers of a hundred battles, and there were many people, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the southeast. The heart of the defenders gradually wavered, Yue Zhaolin saw that the situation was not good, and immediately released a signal flare, he believed that soon it would be the time for him and Chang Zhenbang to settle all their grievances.

After seeing the flare, the adjutant immediately ordered the levee to break, and the soldiers were just about to make a move, when they heard a burst of gunfire, and the adjutants fell to the ground or fell into the water, and the rest were so frightened that they held their heads in their hands and trembled.

"Now this place is taken over by my Southeast Army, if anyone is not convinced, say a word, the master will send you all the way~!"

"We are willing to return to the southeast, and adults are in charge of everything!"

……

"Report! The front personnel have already done it, please show me! ”

Chen Jiongming said: "The whole army retreats to the high ground for defense!" ”

"My lord, this ......"

"Don't say much, do everything according to orders!"

"Yes! Commander-in-Chief! ”

Under an order, the southeast army retreated like a flood, and then hit the water and split the sky and overwhelmed the earth, some of the southeast army that could not dodge was suddenly swept into the water, embarrassed like a chicken in the soup, maybe it is the problem of the tributaries of the Yellow River, this water came suddenly, and it seems to be fierce, but in fact it is a coaxing ability to play a greater practical role, but Rao is like this, and it also scared back the southeast army that attacked the city, so that the Puyang defenders were heartbroken, and took advantage of the situation to teach the southeast army a good lesson, but the sudden water blocked their opportunity to further pursue the southeast, this has to be said to be a pity, and it also makes Yue Zhaolin feel like he is charging into the air. How could there be less water than he expected? But fortunately, he repelled the attack of the Southeast Army, at this time he should take the opportunity to teach a hard lesson, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look into the depths of the water under the city, only the depth of the calf to the thigh, I didn't expect that there was only this depth, anyway, as soon as the sun came out tomorrow, the water would be gone, it was better to take the opportunity to teach Chen Jiongming and Chang Zhenbang a hard lesson, thinking of this, Yue Zhaolin ordered the city to attack, the water outside the city poured into the city, the water potential suddenly reached the heel, the wind blew, wet and cold, It is not good for the people who watch the excitement in the city of sin, let alone the people who soak in it?

"Make a difference!"

"Make a difference!"

……

The soldiers shouted slogans and rushed out of the city, this time Yue Zhaolin was pouring out, since everything was under control, what else was there to scruple about? Life is a big gamble, the battlefield is just a more exciting game, if you succeed, you will be immortal, if you don't, you will be reincarnated to start the next big gamble, what is there to care about?

The defeated army in the southeast retreated again, until they retreated to Chen Jiongming's highland fortifications, they had a chance to take a breath, this highland fortifications are one of Chen Jiongming's masterpieces in the past few days, although many people don't understand why they are piling up a high dirt mountain behind such a strong fortification, building another fortification, but the military order is like a mountain, understand to do it, don't understand, but also do it.

After the Puyang army rushed to the high ground to defend, Chen Jiongming only let half of the people counterattack, making the Puyang army think that the water just now really scared the southeast army, so that the combat power of the southeast army dropped by about the general, and when the Puyang army entered the effective strike range, the southeast defenders let go of their hands and counterattacked fiercely.

Chen Jiongming smiled and said, "Yue Zhaolin, there is such a thing as water attack, you will and I will too, now try Lao Tzu's water attack!" "Saying that, let people send a signal, and in a moment, the water rolled in, overwhelming, fierce and vicious, it seemed that a gluttonous man wanted to devour all things in the world wherever he went, so no matter what division commander and small soldier you are, what city fortifications are everywhere in the ocean, and there are many dead and wounded, even the highland built by Chen Jiongming was almost washed away by the water, not to mention those armies under the high ground? Naturally, it swept away.

Chen Jiongming took the opportunity to send a cavalry unit, and the water flowing almost on horseback killed the Puyang army that showed its head on the water. Before the saber of the Southeast Army fell, it had already raised its hands and surrendered, and the impregnable Puyang City fell like this, but the battlefield was cleaned up three or four days after the flood receded. Whether it is guns, ammunition or food, it is a big gain. The Southeast Army issued a notice to the people, declaring the southeast policy, which won the unanimous praise of the local gentry in Puyang, but Yue Zhaolin was also a fortune teller, and such a big flood did not give him a fatal blow, but he retreated with his guards, retreated to Shexian County, Wu'an, and arrived in Zhili to round with Wu Peifu's army.

Chen Jiongming took advantage of the victory to pursue, Lianke Shexian, Wu'an, and Wu Peifu's army confronted each other with Handan, at this time, the Fifth Army in the southeast, that is, Ni Sichong's Anwu Army also sent troops to southern Central China, conquered Xinyang and other places, and confronted the north and south of the First Army, Wang Zhanyuan was under a lot of pressure, and the Shaanxi overseer Sun Chuanfang depended on each other, and the telegrams exchanged frequently, and finally decided to remain neutral and agreed to Li Tingyu's borrowing, but at the same time, he also escorted Xiao Yaonan's division from Wuchang through Shaanxi into Zhili's request, for his performance at both ends of the first rat, Chang Zhenbang not only turned a blind eye and closed one eye, but instead sent a telegram to praise him, continuing to appoint Wang Zhanyuan as the overseer of Hubei, and at the same time appointing Lu Jinshan as the commander-in-chief of the garrison in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, hoping that he would make every effort to ensure the passage of Hubei. Although Wang Zhanyuan was very dissatisfied with this, he was helpless, it was worth further looting the people's fat and ointment, accumulating wealth, and at the same time transferring the well-trained army from Hubei to Shaanxi. Li Tingyu didn't say anything in his eyes.

After the Hubei passage is opened, Central China, Hubei, Hunan, Guangxi this road will be opened, the abnormal Zhenbang has been explained clearly, Li Tingyujun, Ni Sichong's army as long as the road can be continued and effectively carried out, is the first hero of the Northern Expedition, Ni Sichong of course agreed with joy, don't look at his southeast fifth army is more powerful, than before the Hebi War, but Ni Sichong is well aware, although the number of people has gone up, but the combat power is not as good as before, fight the little thief, It's okay to fight the bandit leader, but if you want to compete with Wu Peifu and others, I'm afraid you will only be beaten to the ground. And Li Tingyu is now tired of battlefield killing, let him do some work to prepare for supply and backup, and by the way, it can be regarded as a residual heat to fight those guys who want to make trouble on the road, and he can't let a powerful battlefield general like Li Tingyu retire early.

The Fourth Army in the southeast of Shandong is also under the advancement of the He family's uncle and nephew, Lianke Wuqiao, Jingxian, Wuyi, Zaoqiang, Hengshui and other places, it can be said that all the way to sing, who knows that in Xianxian County met the direct general Cai Chengxun, since the five-party talks, Cao Wu and others used all kinds of means, soft grinding and hard bubbles, coercion and temptation finally successfully pulled him into the direct camp, became a direct hardcore general, and expanded the Chahar army into the Zhili Seventh Army, becoming an iron army that can be compared with Wu Peifu's third army, Cao Kun knew that after Chang Zhenbang's Northern Expedition, He was immediately asked to go south, in a vain attempt to block the advance of the Fourth Army in the southeast like an iron gate.

The Northern Expedition was held back by Wu Peifu and Cai Chengxun all of a sudden, how to solve Wu Peifu became the key to the Southeast-South Expedition, looking at Wu Peifu's majestic army opposite, Chang Zhenbang didn't feel a headache.
