Chapter 22: The Longest Day (4)
In the northwest corner of the camp is a small two-story building, and two girls who are also wearing moon-white bamboo cloth student clothes and black skirts, both of whom are sixteen or seventeen years old. The girl with a high character has a goose egg face and phoenix eyes, a petite one with a long oily braid, and an apricot kernel eye and melon seed face.
The two of them kept looking at the school field intently, until the new army was disbanded, and then they reluctantly turned their heads.
"That Chai Regiment Leader, he can... really pretend!" The girl with Danfeng eyes looked at Chai Dongliang's back and said faintly.
"Words are not enough!" The girl with long braids next to her covered her mouth and snickered: "What you think in your heart should be that this Chai Regiment Leader is so handsome, right?" β
"Hmph, I'm afraid that's what you're talking about, right? Still trying to climb me? Didn't you have a crush on him? The red-eyed girl smiled.
The girl with long braids rolled her pretty apricot eyes and smiled: "Yes, that's what I thought!" It's a pity that our small family can't climb high! Then he pretended to sigh and said: "Such young talents are all prepared for you ladies!" β
The girl with Danfengyan was full of crimson, and hurriedly changed the topic: "There are all men in this camp, and you are not allowed to bring your family, why is your family so special?" β
The girl with long braids snorted and said, "It's not my good brother-in-law yet!" He sent his entire family of six to the barracks as hostages! β
"Hostages? Why? The girl with red phoenix eyes hurriedly asked.
The girl with long braids opened the chatterbox, and tricked her brother-in-law He Tianshou into gambling with the Fang Garrison Bureau of the arsenal, and then took advantage of He Tianshou's loss to be in a hurry to get money, and asked him to tell him about his sister-in-law as a bargaining chip. The girl with Danfeng's eyes who listened to it had her throat in her heart, pinched a cold sweat for the girl with long braids, and kept complaining about He Tianshou's bastard.
When it came to Chai Dongliang falling from the sky and winning a sum of money playing cards for He Tianshou, and then He Tianshou wanted to send the whole family to the camp, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it, our family moved to Daying!"
"Your brother-in-law is also mixed up enough, and the Fang garrison of that arsenal is really lacking in virtue! It's so dangerous! β
"It's not, but my brother-in-law and sister raised me since I was a child, and my brother-in-law treated me well, but he gambled a little... If it weren't for Captain Chai, I'm afraid I'd only die now!" The girl with long braids touched her heart as she spoke, and her eyes turned a little red.
The girl with Danfengyan sneered and said: "Captain Chai is a hero, you are the number one beauty in our Wuhu women... You're the first to get the moon near the water! β
The girl with long braids first blushed, then flicked her braids, and stomped her feet resolutely: "If he wants me, I will marry him!" If I can't be the main room, I'll be a concubine, and if I can't do it, I'll be a maid for him! β
The girl with phoenix eyes didn't expect her to answer like this, she was stunned for a moment, and she sighed for a long time before squeezing out a smile and said, "Mo Xiaolian, you are so shameless!" β
Mo Xiaolian played with her braids in her hands, and a miserable smile appeared on her face: "What are you ashamed of? A woman is destined to marry her parents, but my parents are gone! I can be the Lord myself! It's a pity, I'm just wishful thinking, he's a big hero, he dares to take a risk alone with a duck egg, and takes Wuhu five prefectures and thirteen counties in one fell swoop, my brother-in-law admires him to death! This kind of big hero wants to do an earth-shattering cause, how can he be tied to the love of children? After my brother-in-law and sister and I moved to the camp, he walked with me three times without even looking at me! β
If Chai Dongliang heard these words, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing, he has been full of worries in the past few days, and he hasn't paid attention to both sides of his walk at all, and he hasn't seen this little beauty who passed by him at all!
The girl with Danfeng eyes flashed a hint of joy in her eyes, and then comforted: "He doesn't look at you?" The first beauty in Wuhu took the initiative to **, but he didn't even look at it? What a tyrannical thing! Xiao Pity, don't be sad, there are so many good men in the world, don't hang yourself from a tree! β
Mo Xiaolian sighed, squeezed out a smile and said, "Wu Baoqi, let's talk about the last time Captain Chai was at your house and fought against the foreign consul!" β
Wu Baoqi, who was danfengyan, nodded, and revisited the story that had been told countless times.
Both girls are sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the age full of countless dreams, and they are in a new type of girls' middle school, with a Western-style education, and a dream of a knight on a white horse to save the princess.
The scene of Chai Dongliang riding a white horse and wielding a foreign knife in the electric light just now was engraved in their minds almost instantly!
The effect of deliberately dressing up and being handsome was originally intended to deter the new officers and soldiers, but inadvertently constituted a temptation that two cardamom girls could not resist!
Two duck eggs to capture the city, one sharp mouth to refute the foreigners, personally led one hundred and eight horsemen to attack the provincial capital Anqing, and is a young general riding a white horse... This is simply the standard template for every young girl's dream lover, and it is no wonder that both girls have aroused reverie about him.
One hundred and eight cavalry are going to attack the heavily defended provincial capital, is this likely to be successful? The two girls secretly prayed for Chai Dongliang in their hearts.

Ahh Ahh
Chai Dongliang sneezed, he was cold in the wind and rain just now!
"Is there a girl who thinks about our leader? This sneeze! No matter how critical the moment, Lu Kai can not forget to tell a few jokes.
Kuang Haishan twisted his waist, and he smiled and stopped talking.
Chai Dongliang wiped his nose with a handkerchief, then pointed to the map, gasped and said: "This Anqing City is high and deep, it's not easy to fight!" β
Gao Ming nodded and said: "Yes, when Hong Yang raised the matter, Zeng Guoquan led an army of 20,000, and he fought for more than half a month at Jixian Pass alone, and the blood flowed and drifted!" β
Fang Qingyu said disdainfully: "Isn't this Wuhu also a high city with deep moats?" The head of the regiment didn't take it down with two duck eggs! This new army in Anqing, whether it is the Alliance, the Gongjin Association, the Yue Wang Association, the Iron Society, or the Society, is all anti-Qing, and I dare to guarantee that as soon as the guns are fired in the city, they will immediately start an incident! After that, he suddenly rubbed his head and laughed: "Commander, if you hadn't come earlier, wouldn't the leader of this Wuhu regiment be mine!" β
Chai Dongliang also wanted to laugh, every time he saw Fang Qingyu, he remembered that this guy was wearing filial piety clothes and holding two duck eggs, standing at the door of the yamen with a bullish appearance. In another time and space, it was Wuhu that this guy took with two bombs, but there is no record of his later experience in history. With his stupid and bold surname, he should have died in the later battle, otherwise this kind of person would definitely not be willing to be bland!
Look at this guy now, he is full of power in a military uniform! and the appearance of the original filial piety man, it is like two people!
"What Company Commander Fang said is that the hearts and minds of the people in the world have been clearly distinguished! Those party bandits in the Huaishang Army, who were beaten by us back then, were not vulnerable at all, but now they can attack the city all the way and are invincible! No matter how good we are, we are better than those bandits with dung forks, right? My lord, mark my wish to be a pioneer and smash Anqing for my lord! β
He Tianshou patted his chest and asked for battle!
Chai Dongliang also felt reasonable, the Wuhu regiment was made up of the new army as the backbone, and its combat effectiveness was definitely stronger than that of the patrol battalion, and the Hui Party that fled all over the world that was suppressed by the patrol battalion in the past can now conquer everything, which can only show that the soldiers of the Qing army have no fighting spirit at all, and even most of the new army is inclined to the revolutionary party in their hearts!
That's why there is a strange thing that dozens of people are attacking the city, and the town guarded by thousands of people changes hands in an instant!
"Company Commander He, there are no adults here, only comrades of the revolutionary army!" Chai Dongliang corrected He Tianshou's name.
"My lord, oh, no, the regiment commander, Zhang Guerrilla and He Guandao, oh, no, look at my pig brain!" He Tianshou patted his head and said, "Camp Commander Zhang, Camp Chief He, I haven't seen them for a day today!" β
Zhang Guerrilla of the patrol battalion and He Guanband of the New Army were arranged by Chai Dongliang to be the battalion commanders of the infantry battalion and horse artillery battalion of the Wuhu Regiment, but the company commanders and platoon commanders below were all served by the new officers and soldiers who admired the revolution.
It's better to go by yourself, and you have to find ways to relieve them of their duties!
"Here's the point!" Kuang Haishan, who had not spoken, circled the map with a red and blue pencil!
"Anqing Armory?"
"Yes, most of the Anqing New Army are willing to oppose the Qing Dynasty! It's just that recently the Manchu Tartars are quite afraid of the new army, so the ammunition of the new army in various places has been confiscated, and everyone uses empty guns. β
Chai Dongliang slammed his fist on the map and said excitedly: "That's it!" I led people to attack the ordnance station, He Tianshou and Lu Kai led people to attack the governor's yamen, Fang Qingyu created chaos in the city, to create a momentum for the army to enter the city, and at the same time to respond to the new army of Anqing in the city! β
"Haha, early tomorrow morning, Zhu Jiabao's head will be hanging on the flagpole!"
"Defeat Anqing, the regiment commander will be the governor of the capital, and our brothers will be appointed as a general!" He Tianshou smiled with a face full of flesh!
"It's early to laugh, isn't it? What if Zhu Jiabao seals the city gate? As long as you carry it overnight, it's time for you to cry tomorrow morning! Gao Ming unceremoniously poured a scoop of cold water!
At this time, everyone remembered a most fatal problem, of course, it was no problem to rush through three hundred miles with light cavalry overnight, but it was impossible for these besieging guys to send artillery to Anqing! Without artillery, what siege is possible? What if the soldiers in the city don't surrender?
"Leave this trick of opening the city gate to the old man!" Gao Ming stroked the mouse's beard and smiled very secretively.
Chai Dongliang has always maintained a detached attitude towards Gao Ming, what is the bottom of this old guy, he doesn't say Chai Dongliang or ask.
"The key to the success or failure of the matter is whether Anqing's new army will really respond to us, if they don't move, it will be difficult for the lone army to fall into the city!" Kwong Haishan voiced his worries.
Lu Kai laughed and said, "Don't worry, this new army of the Qing Dynasty is all trained for Mr. Sun Wen!" Our head is Mr. Sun's envoy! β
Sun Wen, it's Sun Wen again, Chai Dongliang's eyes narrowed!
The name seems to have magical power, it has an infinite attraction for these hot-blooded youths, and it also has an incomparably deterrent effect on the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!
This envoy is an impostor, how can he meet when Sun Wen returns to China?

Anqing New Army Battalion
As soon as it was dark, the officers locked the soldiers in the barracks, and the lights were turned off in the barracks, but the soldiers did not sleep, and gathered around a sentry.
"I heard that Wuhu has changed flags! The New Army was renamed the Wuhu Regiment of the Chinese Revolutionary Army"
"It's time for us to move Anqing, right? We can't wait until the Wuhu regiment or the Huaishang army fight under Anqing City, that person is going to look down on us! β
Several soldiers talked about the topic of rebellion, not afraid of the people around them leaking out.
As a matter of fact, the situation in which the Qing Dynasty was coming to an end was much clearer to the new army than the common people, and almost half of the people in the new army admired the revolution. Most of the officers of the New Army were Liuyu students, and those who graduated from the army's middle schools were also taught by Liuyu students, and Yuben was almost the base camp of the revolutionary party.
When they returned from their studies, the seeds of the revolution were sown for the new army, and the new army of the Qing Dynasty was almost all controlled by the revolutionary party except for the six towns of Beiyang, which was Yuan Shikai's private soldier!
"Shall we contact the Wuhu regiment and join forces with Anqing? I heard that the head of the Wuhu regiment is Mr. Sun's special envoy! One soldier suggested.
The sentry commander sneered: "Wuhu regiment? Wuhu is raising the iron-blooded eighteen-star flag of the Communist Association, not the blue sky and white flag of our alliance... Fake! β
"Fake?"
The sentry chief took a mouthful of thick phlegm and said coldly: "There is no room for two donkeys in this trough!" β
