Changtai is Chang Zhenbang's temporary station, Zhang Xiaoliu was very anxious to hand over the two telegrams to Chang Zhenbang, Chang Zhenbang took it, looked at it a few times, then threw it into his pocket, and then smiled faintly: "It's really getting more and more lively." Zhao Laosi stared at the telegram in Chang Zhenbang's hand and said, "Boy, what's so interesting?" Chang Zhenbang smiled faintly and said: "Tang Guomo announced the protection of the law in Longyan and mobilized the army to go south to Zhangzhou, hoping to capture the official alive in one fell swoop, and at the same time, the Lin Baoyi Department of the Protector Navy in the exchange of fire with the navy, although it did not repel the navy's obstruction and successfully landed in Xiamen, but successfully landed the new Fujian First Division on the coast of Longhai, and the target was also Changtai. ”

Zhao Laosi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, rubbed his fists and said: "It's been a long time since it's been so lively, Lao Tzu has to have a good fight with these dogs." ”

Zhang Xiaoliu said with a stern face: "Lord Chang, we only have one guard brigade in Changtai, and we are not afraid of the many people on the other side, but we are afraid that Tang Guomo, the first division of Fujian, and Xiamen are surrounded on three sides, and it will not be good to trap and defend Changtai." For the sake of the present...... For the sake of today's plan, let the fourth brother escort the adult back to Guangdong, and give it to Xiaoliu here. ”

Zhao Laosi glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Little Liu, you are really a!" ”

Zhang Xiaoliu said: "Fourth brother, this time is not the courage of the horseman, the safety of the adults is related to the well-being of the people in Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and it cannot be easily missed." ”

Zhao Laosi said: "As long as Lao Tzu is here, this kid will not move!" ”

Chang Zhenbang looked at the quarrel between the two people, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Xiaoliu is also worried about me, the fourth brother also has the truth of the fourth brother, our guard brigade has been trained by the fourth brother since the day it was formed, and it is also a famous elite division in our rebel army, but it is a pity that I have been nesting by my side and wronged the brothers, today we will take the initiative to attack, let the brothers practice well, the fourth brother, you immediately lead the troops to the south quickly, and be sure to annihilate the new first division." ”

Zhao Laosi said excitedly: "Boy, don't worry, Lao Tzu will go." ”

Chang Zhenbang glanced back at Zhang Xiaoliu and said, "Xiaoliu, you immediately take my letter to Tang Guomo, don't say anything, don't ask anything, tell him everything is in the letter!" Saying that, he took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Xiaoliu, after Zhang Xiaoliu took the letter, he quickly went to Tang Guomo, although he didn't know what was written in the letter, but for Chang Zhenbang, he was still full of confidence.

After Zhao Laosi received the order, he immediately mobilized the guard brigade, originally planned to leave a battalion as Chang Zhenbang's guard, but Chang Zhenbang refused, Zhao Laosi was surprised and puzzled: "I'm leaving, there will be no one in this Changtai City, I'm afraid it won't make much difference by relying on a few personal horses!" Zhang Xiaoliu's kid is timid and afraid, but he can't be as stupid and bold as you! No, at least one battalion of brothers will be left. ”

Chang Zhenbang said with a faint smile: "The other party is a division, we only have one brigade, and the number of people is already at a loss, if another battalion is divided, won't there be fewer manpower?" As for my safety, you don't have to worry, because with you by my side, there is nothing to fear, right? ”

Zhao Laosi said very proudly: "That's it, don't look at ......" Then the acquaintance realized something, and immediately said in surprise: "You kid also went south with me?" This is no joke! After seeing Chang Zhenbang nodding firmly, Zhao Laosi excitedly patted Chang Zhenbang's shoulder a few times, and said happily: "You kid is still the same as before, Lao Tzu didn't misunderstand you, you can rest assured that you went to the battlefield, you follow Lao Tzu, and you are safe!" ”

When Chang Zhenbang was leaving, he immediately called the governor of Changtai and said: "And don't leak the news, if it leaks, even if Lao Tzu can't take Fujian, he can retaliate against Changtai, serve as an official, and benefit one party, you must think about it!" After speaking, he turned around and got on his horse, and rushed out first, Zhao Laosi hurriedly followed, and the guard brigade immediately marched towards Hailong.

The new First Fujian Division was led by Lin Hu, and Su Shi'an and Lai Shihuang were respectively in command of the positive and negative forces, and Su Shi'an was in command of Sun Shi'an since the Wuhan civil uprising. Lai Shihuang is Li Liejun's favorite general, Lin Hu's remnants, deeply respected by the revolutionary party, although the battle of Kwai Chou did not confront Chang Zhenbang head-on, but after all, Lin Hu was defeated by Chang Zhenbang, and Jiujiang was obtained by Chang Zhenbang, which caused Li Liejun to cross the ocean alone in order to retain the seeds of revolution. He fled in a hurry from the revolutionary officer who never had to give money to eat in the rampant township, and his bright future was gone, which was really a day and two hatreds, three rivers and four seas, and Chang Zhenbang hated him so much that his teeth hurt, he thought that if Chang Zhenbang hadn't appeared in the sky, he himself would have become a town guard under Li Liejun.

These people are more or less with Chang Zhenbang a little holiday, so the heart of revenge is particularly strong, the new first Fujian division under their leadership, the speed of the march is particularly fast, soon came to Changtai City, not to mention the attack on Changtai City, the governor and the head of the city defense regiment saw that these people did not ask, did not give them a chance anyway, came up to the dead, immediately annoyed and angry, commanded the people in the city to go to the city and the first division of Fujian to bombard.

The artillery fire was earth-shattering, and everyone within a radius of 100 miles could hear it, and many people suddenly became a mess, crying and crying for their fathers and mothers, and shrunk at home.

After hearing the cannon sound in the direction of Changtai in the position of the rebel army not far from Changtai, Wang Xifeng was taken aback, Wang Dewang was even more gray, and came over and grabbed Wang Xifeng's hand and said: "Brother Wang, something happened in the direction of Changtai." It's good that my men and horses are fully responsible here, you immediately assign a part of the elite to support Changtai, and be sure to save the adults. ”

After Wang Xifeng lowered his head and walked two laps, he couldn't help but complain bitterly: "My men and horses have also lost a lot in these days, and now there is only one brigade of men and horses that can fight, if all these people are sent over, brother, you will be in danger here." ”

Wang Dewang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that you kid has to play any anti-charge!" Anyway, it's too late to say this now, you immediately go back to Changtai, plus the guard brigade in the hands of the adults, the men and horses of the two brigades are enough for the adults to return to Guangzhou safely, as for here...... Leave it to me, and I'll give you plenty of time before I rout. ”

Wang Xifeng looked at his determined appearance, sighed and said, "Without my counter-charge, this place would have been lost a long time ago." ”

It turned out that when Xu Chongzhi got the news of the safe landing of the Lin Hu Division, he immediately shared this information with Shen Hongying, Li Yaohan and others, and made relevant arrangements, and after the Lin Hu Division almost arrived in Changtai to start attacking the city, the Zhao Army, the Fujian Second Division and Shen Hongying's Department went hand in hand, and launched a counteroffensive against Wang Xifeng's Department from the left, middle and right.

The Zhao army on the opposite side, and the second division of Fujian under Xu Chongzhi's department have been killed, and they are desperately holding back all the manpower in the fortifications, and they can't let Wang Xifeng draw out his men and horses, in fact, even if they are drawn out, if Wang Xifeng divides the troops, the fortifications will be wiped out immediately, and the people and horses sent out will also be covered up and killed by these people from behind. Despair was something more terrible than bullets, and when the sound of artillery was heard from Changtai behind, the morale in the fortifications plummeted, and the number of casualties increased.

Wang Xifeng sighed and said to Wang Dewang: "For today's plan, I can only be loyal to my lord." ”

Wang Dewang nodded, and said with a serious face: "I wish you a long time in martial arts and destroy this thief!" ”

Wang Xifeng immediately personally commanded some of the men and horses that had just been drawn out to return to the fortifications and fight to the death with the invading enemy, venting the spirit of the people in the position, but a burst of comfort, he is a often defeated general, although Chang Zhenbang particularly likes him, but he really can't fancy himself, if he is defeated, I am afraid that he will really have to wear the hat of this often defeated general on his head, and now let go of the battle, give this life out, and let the brothers see that Wang Xifeng is not a bad breed, but also a well-known man, although defeated, but also loyal to the adults.

……

Lin Hu stared at Changtai City viciously, gritted his teeth and said, "Those who capture Chang Zhenbang alive will be rewarded with a hundred oceans." Kill Chang Zhenbang, reward 500 oceans, promote the official to the third level, brothers rush me! ”

Su Shi'an looked at someone raising a white flag at the head of the city, and hurriedly said: "The white flag is raised at the head of the city, it seems that this Chang Zhenbang wants to surrender." ”

Lin Hu said: "The rebellious Chang Zhenbang of the Republic of China is heinous, the crime is extremely heinous, and the reactionary thoughts are particularly serious, we will never surrender and we will not accept his surrender, let the brothers not care, just capture the city." Lai Shihuang, who was standing on the side, said: "Lord Lin is right, this Chang Zhenbang is not a good thing, it is a cruelty to kill the revolutionary people, reactionary and feudal, it will be a scourge to keep him sooner or later, if the city is broken, leave him a whole corpse, so that Mr. Sun can recover Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces." ”

Su Shi'an said unhappily: "Lai Shihuang, what the hell are you talking about Mr. Sun, it doesn't sound revolutionary at all, and now the prime minister likes to call him Mr. Zhongshan, which can bring Dongying's friends closer to us." ”

"Rebellion!"

Just as they were discussing the name, a deafening roar came from behind the Fujian First Division, and the Guards Brigade rushed from behind them like a huge wave of the mountain, and the newly formed First Division hurriedly turned around, only to find that the other party had been killed in front of him, Zhao Laosi held a gun in one hand and waved a knife in the other hand like a Somali pirate, and everywhere he went, he was either killed by a shot or his head was cut off by a knife. The new Fujian First Division was suddenly in a panic, three of the four of them were newly recruited soldiers, and the quality of the battle was extremely poor, if it was a good fight, they could still insist on cultivating this psychological quality, but unfortunately the other party did not give them this opportunity, the sudden raid let go of the panicked beast, devouring the bleak life, although those veterans made the most correct counterattack posture, which should have caused great damage to Chang Zhenbang's guard brigade, but unfortunately it was also dispersed by these comrades who fled in a panic.

Lin Hu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately went out of the camp and got on the horse surrounded by Ma Ben while organizing a rebellion while thinking about countermeasures, and at this time the first thought in his mind was to keep the seeds of his revolution, so that he could make greater contributions to the country for Mr. Zhongshan in the future, who knew that he was meeting Zhao Laosi, Zhao Laosi saw that it was him, and couldn't help but be furious, he respected a good man the most in his life, and the most despised was a bad seed, he thought that Lin Hu was a man, who knew that the man was a stand-in, His deity is a coward who has repeatedly fled, and the original praise has now become a great shame for him, and he has to slaughter this kid. I didn't expect to meet again one day, thinking of this, he urged the horse with his legs to rush over, and the cover Lin Hu was a shot.

Lin Hu is also battle-hardened, instinctively leaned back, this shot naturally missed, but Zhao Laosi took advantage of Lin Hu's dodge, picked up the saber in his hand and slashed at Lin Hu's horse's head, this knife was really sharp, and the good horse's head was cut off by Chang Zhenbang, Lin Hu was taken aback, clanged, and fell down. There was already a horse Ben surrounded the past to protect Lin Hu in the middle, and killed and retreated, Zhao Laosi was not reconciled, commanding the guard brigade around him to chase and kill the past, and when he was about to catch up, a bullet hit Zhao Laosi's chest, Zhao Laosi snorted coldly, and then fell off the horse with a grunt, Lin Hu was overjoyed, and learned from the sound of the fight just now that this person was Chang Zhenbang's brigade commander Zhao Laosi, and immediately commanded Ma Ben to rush over, wanting to capture him alive and break the morale of the other party, Unexpectedly, the guard brigade on the side rushed over to protect Zhao Laosi, Zhao Laosi was an iron-blooded man, shot in the chest, and did not frown, just waved the saber in his hand, and commanded the guard brigade to outflank Lin Hu hoarsely.

Lin Hu was also taken aback when he saw him so violent, and he thought that he would not be able to do well if he continued like this, so he simply shot and killed a Fujian Dharma Protector officer, and after snatching his horse, he asked for thirty-six tricks to go as the best plan. Who knew that he was just about to turn over and get on his horse, a stray bullet hit his arm, and he screamed in pain and fell off the horse

Su Shi'an, who was not far away, couldn't help but scream when he saw Lin Hu fall off his horse, and said, "The traitor Hugh wants to kill my division commander." I'm here to go! Before he could finish speaking, Lai Shihuang on the side was pushed over by him. Lai Shihuang was taken aback, and quickly strangled the reins, who knew that this strangle didn't matter, and Chang Zhenbang was loaded head-on, Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, Lai Shihuang was stunned, but Chang Zhenbang raised his hand and raised his gun, right in the middle of Lai Shihuang's face door, Lai Shihuang landed straight and straight, and the frightened horse went out and died without a body. Su Shi'an turned his horse's head in shock, rushed out of the chaos with a few cronies, left the Fujian First Division and left, only to learn later that he had gone all the way south to Hailong, and only then bought a small fishing boat with a lot of money and sent him to Hong Kong.

The three chiefs were killed, captured and fled, and their morale was even lower, and they scattered one after another, and the city defense regiments in the city that were fed up with the bird's spirit also immediately dispatched to encircle and suppress the rebels. The rebels surrendered on their knees in desperation, and almost all of the Fujian First Division were captured in this battle, except for a few officers who had parachuted in from Kunming. After Chang Zhenbang removed the essence of decay a little, he left a brigade of men and horses.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoliu also returned from Longyan, and after seeing Chang Zhenbang, he truthfully gave back Tang Guomo's immediate stagnant reaction after receiving Chang Zhenbang's letter. Chang Zhenbang nodded, and when the Fujian Brigade that was about to be incorporated was transferred to Zhang Xiaoliu, Zhang Xiaoliu left the Guards Brigade and became a formal field army. After Zhang Xiaoliu heard it, he couldn't help crying with joy, after staying up for so long, it was finally his turn to stand out alone, and in the future, he must make meritorious contributions to adults and for himself.

After a short period of joy, Zhang Xiaoliu immediately led the Fujian Brigade to follow Chang Zhenbang to support Wang Xifeng's troops, when they shouted: "rebellion" slogan, appeared in the fortifications, couldn't help but deter Xu Chongzhi and others, but also greatly comforted Wang Xifeng and Wang Dewang, saved these two people from despair, the two men covered in blood couldn't help but cry. The addition of the Guards Brigade and the Fujian Brigade greatly invigorated the troops on the position, they shouted "rebellion" to rise up to meet the battle, the elite division of the Guards Brigade, the Fujian Brigade is also a rebel army is even more eager to make meritorious contributions, both like the division of the tiger and wolf and Xu Chongzhi's department, the Zhao army fought a bloody battle, only to kill the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field, and finally Xu Chongzhi left the Kunming officers in order to retain the seeds of the revolution, and threw the Fujian division, the Zhao army and even Shen Hongying's department into it, Li Yaohan also wanted to retain his strength, but he couldn't say it because of his suffering, and it was not good to ask too much for the general, Shen Hongying didn't say anything, after launching the attack, before entering the fortifications, he gave a few cronies a look, and then his subordinates shouted "rebellion" and turned around and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese army tent where Xu Chongzhi and others were, thirty minutes ago the friendly army suddenly mutinied, the defenders were caught off guard and surrendered on their knees, and occasionally a few stubborn people were also shot and killed indiscriminately to set an example, but when Shen Hongying killed in the camp, he found that there was no one, it turned out that Xu Chongzhi was after the army set off, He took Li Yaohan and pushed the revolutionary seeds from Kunming to the city of Xiamen.

They went to the city of Xiamen, but the French protector army outside the city was attacked by Shen Hongying's troops and the rebel army, and they held out for less than ten minutes before they collapsed and scattered. After Shen Hongying's remnants were defeated, he took refuge in Chang Zhenbang again.

Nowadays, there are many rebel troops outside Xiamen, and the loss of Xiamen has become a sure thing.
