Seeing that his subordinate adjutants were in a mess, like a rat's nest on fire, Wu Peifu was so angry that he didn't fight anywhere, he roared viciously: "Panic like this, what you learned at the Baoding Military Academy have been fed to the dogs?" ”

He has always had a very high prestige in the Beiyang Third Division, and he is a heroic figure who led the Third Division from one glory to another, although the defeat of the town of Jiejia, the loss of troops and generals, greatly reduced his prestige, so that the new officers and soldiers who came up were somewhat unconvinced by him, but after all, the bullish characters are bullish characters, from the defeat of Duan Qirui in the Battle of Zhiwan to the almost complete annihilation of the Anwu Army in the Battle of Hebi, Wu Peifu's complete victory made his prestige in the Beiyang Third Division once again become a god-like figure, so she was angry, Those panicked adjutants, the staff officers shuddered, closed their mouths one after another, and froze in place, but in serious despair, there was no trace of cold sweat on their bodies.

Wu Peifu said coldly: "It's just that Xiao Yao's southern retreat to Hubei is sluggish, and Liu Zhenhua's department has stopped in Shaanzhou and has the state of being the first to use both ends, what is there to be afraid of, don't you know that this is Lao Tzu's strategy?" Adjutant Liu! ”

"Here!" Adjutant Liu, who was called by name, immediately stood trembling in front of Wu Peifu and stood up straight and saluted.

Wu Peifu said: "Telegraph to Xiao Yaonan, in view of his performance in the Great War of Zhiwan, the third master specially promoted the 3rd Mixed Brigade of the direct line to the 25th Division of Beiyang, and the former brigade commander Xiao Yaonan was promoted to the commander of the 25th Division, allowing him to recruit troops on the spot!" After receiving the order, Adjutant Liu immediately rushed to the telecommunications office to issue a telegram.

"Staff Officer Zhao!" Wu Peifu continued: "Immediately telegraphed Fang Youtian, asking him to continue to besiege Guide, and clearly told him that his official did not need him to capture Guide, as long as he cut off all his colleagues who went to Luoyin, he would be a great achievement!" ”

"Staff Officer Zhang, immediately mobilize the Third Brigade of the 23rd Beiyang Division to Shaanzhou, make a two-sided attack, and help Liu Zhenhua open up the road, remember that this matter is a show, but it must be done well, let Liu Zhenhua believe that this matter is done, I Wu Peifu promoted him to be the town guard!"

"Adjutant Zhang, immediately let people go to those gentry, and say that my direct army will attack from all sides, besiege and encircle the southeast army in Guide, Luoyin, and Shaanzhou, and will be able to completely annihilate the southeast bandit army in Central China Province in a few days, and return the fathers and elders in Central China to a bright and prosperous future."

"Adjutant Wu, after hearing the order, immediately summon the generals above the regimental level of the Third Division, the Twenty-third Division, and the Twenty-fourth Division of Beiyang to come here for a meeting.

……

Just when Wu Peifu dispatched troops, Chang Zhenbang in the Luoyin City Governor's Mansion was not idle, the Battle of Hebi, the defeat of the Anwu Army made his eyebrows flutter, Ni Sichong relied on the trump card of the Anwu Army, monopolized Anhui for more than ten years, resulting in Anhui almost becoming the private kingdom of his Ni family, whether it was an official appointed by the central government or an elected representative, these people came to Anhui to stand aside, only then did they know that the whole Anhui had been run by Ni Sichong's needle could not be inserted, and the water could not be splashed, and the sensible person could not mix something else delicious in addition to getting more salary, If you look carefully, the old Bi family and others are much narrower than they really are, and they are still important sons-in-law and aunts and some poor relatives who can't beat the eight poles, and the old Bi family is a pure-blooded theory, except for his Bi Zehua's seed, others don't want to really get in touch with the real power in Central China, even if it is the Nanyang guard Wu Qingtong is not because he angered Bi Jinjian, he was imprisoned in a small black house and did not eat and drink for a few days and nights. When Bi Jinjian suffered a defeat in Miyang, he knew that he couldn't hold Nanyang City, hated himself for not listening to Wu Qingtong's advice, ashamed that he was looked down upon by Wu Qingtong, and was even more afraid that Wu Qingtong would take the opportunity to counterattack, so the first important thing for Bi Jinjian to go back was not to ask Chang Zhenbang for help, but to kill Wu Qingtong with his own hands to prevent future troubles. After Ni Sichong led the Anwu Army to fully unify the entire territory of Anhui, with the rapid expansion of the army and the overall control of the politics and military of the province at that time, when promoting senior generals of the army and the heads of important local departments, in addition to continuing to reuse a group of cadres who were originally transferred from the Yi Army and the six towns of Beiyang to form this army, a large number of Ni clansmen and in-law family members were trained and hired, and in just a few years, the backbone of this army was quickly formed. As a result, the people of Anhui ridiculed their appointment of private individuals, making the original national weapon of defending the country become an armed person, but Ni Sichong's style of using both internal and external purposes not only ensured the loyalty of the army, but also ensured the combat effectiveness of the army, making the Anwu Army an old-fashioned army that could almost beat the general modern army. The success of the means of recognizing relatives in Bishan has made Chang Zhenbang also a peripheral organization of the old Ni family, with the qualifications and capital to command the Anwu army, but Rao is like this, Chang Zhenbang does not dare to be too careless, after all, this army has been filled with people by the old Ni family from top to bottom, and what is even more infuriating is that these people are still people with some ability, you can't replace someone who is not as good as others, but the person who really has the ability has been promoted, and he is afraid that it will backfire if he is reduced to the past. At this time, the Anwu army was defeated in Hebi, the soldiers were lost, and the vitality was greatly damaged, in order to keep Anhui and protect the vital interests of the old Ni family, Ni Sichong was eager to replenish the army, and the students of the Guangzhou Military Academy naturally became sought-after goods.

"My lord, Wu Peifu's men and horses have crossed the defense line and launched a weak attack on my Luoyin defenders?" Chen Jiongming came to Chang Zhenbang's side, and said softly after saluting.

Chang Zhenbang glanced back at him and said with great interest: "A weak attack? Interesting, Wu Peifu's previous offensive was evaluated as overwhelming! I can't imagine that he also has a weak side! Interesting, really funny! ”

Chen Jiongming said: "Wu Peifu's offensive this time is quite soothing, but it is more slender and slender, like a low tide, the momentum is not large, but it is better to fight steadily and continuously!" Yiye knows that this person attaches great importance to adults. ”

"Oh?" Chang Zhenbang said: "Since he attaches so much importance to this official, this official naturally can't treat him badly!" Brother Chen asked the brothers to beat me hard, since he wants to stretch and slender, let's give him a quick victory, it's best to let the brothers take in this wave of enemies! ”

Chen Jiongming said: "What the adults said is extremely true, let's do it!" After speaking, he turned around and left, and soon there was a roaring cannon sound at the city wall, this Luoyin City is the center of the old Bi family's rule in Central China, and it also failed to defeat the last castle of the old Bi family to resist Qian Defa, which is naturally easy to defend and difficult to attack, that is, the artillery on the head of the city is more sharp and long-term than the general city defense artillery, so that Wu Peifu's men and horses have not arrived at the pre-planned place, they were hit head-on, looking at the comrades who were still advancing side by side just now, they were torn apart and dead without a corpse, That kind of heartfelt shock is not on the battlefield people can not experience, many people at this time the first reaction is to kill, some clever people are either crawling on the spot or turning their heads to run, although I don't know what will happen to these people who crawl forward on the spot, but those guys who turned their heads and ran once again appreciated the power of Wu Peifu who died under the military hair without dying in the military formation, and the appearance of the supervision team made these people return again The artillery bombardment, which scared people uncomfortable, but the back of the supervision team was the real king of Hades, and they were targeted by artillery. You don't necessarily die, but if you are caught by the Overseer, your life will be lost. Thinking of this, Wu Peifu's army began to advance slowly.

Chen Jiongming stood on the city tower and said to the adjutant: "From now on, the artillery will give me intermittent sparse shots, and it will be suspended after half an hour!" ”

The adjutant gave the order, and the sound of the artillery on the city wall gradually subsided after the torrential rain was vented, and those soldiers saw that the artillery on their heads became mute, and they were cautious at first to explore, thinking that the other party had stopped changing ammunition, and the next round of shells would definitely sound in five minutes, who knew that after they spent more than ten minutes in fear, there was still not a single shell fired, and now they were relieved, coupled with the advocacy of the relevant officers, these people began to rush to the city of Luoyin vigorously. At the position, Wu Peifu's artillery unit also began to move towards the predetermined location.

Chen Jiongming paid close attention to the situation on the battlefield, and seeing that the time was almost up, he immediately ordered the adjutant: "Order the artillery to defend the city to hit me hard, and it is best to form an artillery belt that can effectively block the enemy's follow-up troops." ”

"Yes, sir!"

"In addition, I will gather the cavalry troops to get ready, and cooperate with the artillery to rush out for me, and completely annihilate this invading enemy!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After the two adjutants conveyed the order, the artillery on the city wall broke out again with an inner roar, as if they wanted to show their anger to those enemies who despised themselves, and in an instant, under the command of the artillery, a flame area was formed, like a sharp knife tearing the enemy into two pieces that could not be recombined like tofu, and then the gate of Luoyin City opened, and countless cavalrymen held their sabers high, shouting deafening slogans, and slashed at the enemies who were shocked by the artillery that spoke again, and they were really like tigers, Horses are like dragons, everywhere they go, the destruction of the general result of the lives of these direct troops, the follow-up troops who were blocked by the artillery received orders to do their best to rescue the brothers in front of them, who knew that these artillery pieces were really powerful, ten people rushed over, a shell down and killed five, the remaining five three were paralyzed, and the remaining two luckily saved their lives but were also borrowed by the red-eyed cavalry on the opposite side with knives.

Wu Peifu was also a little sad after knowing the battle situation, but he didn't have time to complain, and immediately transferred a lot of artillery, although these artillery pieces could not reach Luoyin City, but within this distance was the battlefield where Chen Jiongming's cavalry troops showed off their might, as soon as this artillery started, it packed up a lot of cavalry troops at once, and also gave those Wu Peifu troops who rushed over the opportunity to retreat, although Chen Jiongming also knew that if he continued to fight, the cavalry would inevitably be able to annihilate the enemy, but he would also be hit hard by Wu Peifu's artillery. Chen Jiongming immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and after the cavalry troops heard the retreat information, they roared away as they came, and the artillery on the city wall was like the sound of firecrackers welcoming the hero.

The battle loss in this battle reached four to one, and this number can also be played seventy or eighty points in the proportion of offensive and defensive battles, but this is nothing less than a great shame for Wu Peifu, what kind of person is he, this score that is worthy of pride in the eyes of others is tantamount to a great shame in his eyes, many adjutant cronies who are familiar with him have comforted him with fear, everyone knows what kind of temper Wu Peifu is, comforting him is not pleasing nine times out of ten, but not comforting is 100% dereliction of duty, this is really embarrassing for these adjutant staff officers, Who knew that Wu Peifu said coldly: "Let Chang Zhenbang be happy for a few days first, and then he will feel better!" ”
