In the middle of the night, Xue Guantun finally fell into a brief silence, and the fierce fighting between the two sides stopped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

100 miles away from Cangzhou City, Yanshan County, Qikou Town, here is a fortress leading to Beijing City from the sea, the water surface is wide, the sea water is very deep, there are two long-abandoned forts by the sea, this is the military base left in the former Ming Dynasty, now due to the rise of Tianjin Weidagukou, it is already empty, however, the wharf is still barely usable.

Above the surface, a fleet of ships came quickly.

On the big boat in the middle, standing was Yan Chunyu, the commander of the Second Division! Yan Chunyu and Guo Songtao struggled to talk about each other, and finally even had to call Hua Ruohan and ask Hua Ruohan to come forward, so that at the cost of 100,000 taels of silver, they invited American merchant ships to come forward to transport the second division of the Lu Army, after all, it is not an easy thing to mobilize dozens of merchant ships at once, and they are all merchant ships, not warships, there is no warship escort, the fleet needs to risk the siege of the four-nation alliance fleet, who wants to take this risk?

At the same time, Guo Songtao promised that if there was a ship damage, the Shandong government would pay the full amount according to the price, and the American steamship shipping company agreed to dispatch more than 30 large merchant ships to transport the troops of the second division.

However, the matter was done, from Weihaiwei to Haikou in Yanshan County, it would be much simpler, from the sea, Weihaiwei to Yanshan, but a distance of 400 kilometers, with the speed of the ship more than 20 kilometers per hour, it only takes one day and one night to reach Yanshan.

Along the way, Yan Chunyu was also worried, if he encountered a British and French warship, it would be very troublesome, even if they didn't attack, they only needed to surround the battleship with the troop carrier, then the second division would never think about landing in the south of Zhili!

Fortunately, the war in the Gyeonggi area was in full swing, and almost all the warships were concentrated around Tianjinwei, and it was late at night when they arrived at Yanshan, so they avoided a lot of trouble.

Far away, the coast appeared in the telescope, Yan Chunyu's heart was excited, it was so ******, five days, only five days, he arrived here, these five days, the second division was fully rested, and the spirit had been completely raised, one by one, ready to meet the new battle.

"Order the first regiment to prepare for the landing immediately, and after the landing, quickly advance two kilometers forward to alert, and then according to the formation, the second regiment, the third regiment all the way to the ninth regiment, and finally the artillery regiment, the cavalry regiment, before noon, must complete all the landing operations!"

Yan Chunyu gave an order, and the soldiers of the first regiment took the lead in acting, kayaks, sampans, as long as they were tools that could be used for landing, all of them were used, and even a boat bridge was used, which was brought back in the United States, Guo Ye felt that these engineering equipment were very convenient when he was in the civil war, and brought them back.

As soon as the sky was bright, all nine infantry regiments landed on the coast, followed by the last artillery regiment and cavalry regiment, and at ten o'clock in the morning, the second division, with all 19,000 troops, landed on the coast and prepared on the spot!

"Zhang Hexiang!"

"Here!"

Zhang Hexiang hurriedly took a step forward and stood up.

Yan Chunyu said coldly: "Immediately send a reconnaissance company to rush in the direction of Cangzhou, detect the enemy's situation, and report back immediately as soon as there is news!" ”

"Yes!"

"Also, the cavalry regiment immediately moved and rushed in the direction of Cangzhou, after arriving at the battlefield, in case of emergency, you are allowed to make your own decisions, you don't need to ask for instructions, you must help the first division resist the attack of foreigners!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hexiang became excited when he landed, in an emergency, he made his own decisions, that gave him the greatest power, and now he was going to show his skills!

After Yan Chunyu watched Zhang Hexiang go down, he turned his head and looked at the three brigade commanders: Gao E, Long Tao, and Duan Zhiqiang. The three of you, now it's time to work hard, these days, the army is almost reorganized, and the spirit is sufficient, pass on my orders, the army is moving forward with all its might, a day and a night, before tomorrow evening, you must arrive at the battlefield, Lao Tzu wants to give the foreigners another hard lesson!

"Yes! Teachers! ”

Not to mention others, Duan Zhiqiang alone has already burned a raging anger in his heart, the revenge of the brigade commander Zhang Suimou is still waiting to be avenged, and the revenge of the brothers killed in the third brigade is still waiting to be avenged, this time, we must make the foreign devils pay for their blood debts!

"Then ****** stop talking nonsense, order the whole army, cheer up, and move forward at full speed!"

Yan Chunyu roared angrily.

The entire Second Division began to march at full speed towards the vicinity of Cangzhou City, from the coast to Cangzhou City, one hundred and fifty or sixty miles, even if it was closer to Xue Guantun, the distance was about one hundred and twenty miles, and in one day and one night, the entire division rushed out of one hundred and twenty miles, which was definitely a huge challenge!

However, Yan Chunyu can't take care of a lot anymore, this time he is desperate, and he has to rush to the battlefield in the shortest possible time, and if he arrives one minute early, then there is a little more possibility that the first division will be retained! If it's too late, Lao Gao's life will be uncertain, and he will definitely feel guilty for two lifetimes at that time!

Rush Rush!

The regiments opened their lines on the main road, opened their two legs, and began to advance rapidly in the direction of Cangzhou, first half a day, rushed out of the forty-mile distance, and the army began to rest briefly at dusk to recover its strength.

After more than an hour, continue to run towards the destination, saving people like fighting fire, for the life and death brothers of Lu Jun, let's fight!

When Yan Chunyu began to gallop towards the battlefield, the First Division was still engaged in a fierce battle with the Four Nations Alliance!

A fierce battle!

Before the sky dawned, the Four-Nation Alliance Army once again launched a fierce offensive towards the position of the First Division, and under the cover of artillery, the Four-Nation Alliance launched wave after wave of fierce offensives towards the position of the First Division! Attack, attack!

The soldiers of the Lu army have also completely red eyes, swearing to defend their positions to the death!

Even so, the first line of defense, at dusk, still inevitably fell, and Gao Qi had to shrink his forces and retreat to the second line of defense.

However, after nearly two days of fierce fighting, the artillery regiment of the first division also beat a brigade of the French army, and with the cooperation of the third brigade, the French infantry brigade almost collapsed, suffering heavy casualties, and the brigade commander Temunreko shed tears, which was particularly tragic, and what a special thing, when did the French army have such a big enmity with the Lu army?

An artillery regiment bites the French army to the death, even if the first line of defense of the main position has collapsed, it is still desperately attacking its own side, dog, where is there such a bully!
